Matthew Green, age 16, signed a contract to buy a Camaro from Caruana Chevrolet.Matthew Green is the son of Mark Green, a local businessman, well known by Caruana Chevrolet.The Green family lived about six miles from the dealership.The Green family was friends with the Caruana family.Matthew Green lived about six miles from his school and about one mile from his job and used the Camaro to go back and forth to school and to work. Matthew misrepresented his age by using a false ID card which was an obvious fraud. The photo looked nothing like Matthew.
When Matthew did not have the car, he used a car pool to get to school and to work. Matthew’s father drove in the car pool as did several other parents.Several months later, the used car became inoperable due to a blown head gasket and Green gave notice of his rejection of the car and of the contact to Caruana Chevrolet. Caruana Chevrolet refused to refund the purchase price.
Caruana Chevrolet had purchased this vehicle at auction for $2,500.00.The sale price to Matthew was $7,000.00.

Finally, indicate where the author stands in regard to the prompt: What Are You Working For?
For example:
1) “Liberal Arts and the Bottom Line” Lane Wallace. Wallace, a columnist for the Atlantic and author of several books, questions whether or not business students need to be “more well-rounded human beings” (63). Wallace questions whether programs that encourage more liberal arts education for prospective managers have the best interest of industry and business at heart. She references a program conducted by Bell Telephone whose executives argued that “…a well-educated man knows what questions are worth asking” (62). She concludes by asking whether or not “we are prepared to back that when it’s our own income, stock or profit that’s affected by those more balanced and responsible decisions” (63)? She responds to the prompt of what are you working for by suggesting that business majors might work for more if given a more well-rounded education. However, she acknowledges that there are some drawbacks to stepping outside of the business realm too much.

These two-page open-ended papers allow you to take a less structured, thinking-through approach to writing about an assigned reading.
When working on a journal, consider the following:
1) What major questions does this work raise for you? These questions should be inspired by concepts and issues, rather than asking about facts or basic comprehension.
2) Why are these questions important to your understanding of broader topics (or if it helps you explore your ideas, other texts)? We are interested in seeing you explore your own thinking on the issues raised by the reading.
3) Is there a major idea embedded in this text that you continue to grapple with? What and why? Can you show, by thinking through it in your writing, what makes this idea such a complex one?

Comparative Justice Systems Classification Analysis
Comparative Justice Systems Classification Analysis
In this Final Project, you will focus on examining global criminal activity by creating a comparative justice systems classification strategy. The activities completed throughout the course have provided you with knowledge of the various types of laws, criminal justice systems, and criminal activities that occur across the world. Additionally, you have learned about the cultures and processes of the courts, policing and investigative agencies, and corrections in countries worldwide. You will compare, contrast, examine, and classify each country’s criminal justice system, including key cultures and processes in policing, corrections, investigative agencies, and the courts. You will also make recommendations for improvements to these systems within the United States based on what has proven successful for other countries. You will evaluate the global criminal activity and criminal justice systems in each country; analyze the differing cultural perspectives on policing, courts, and corrections in each country; evaluate the international policing and investigative agencies; and, lastly, compile all of this information by creating a comparative justice classification strategy.
First, select two countries from this list:
Argentina
Australia
Brazil
Canada
China
England and Wales
Finland
France
Germany
Ghana
Great Britain
India
Italy
Japan
Mexico
New Zealand
Nigeria
North Korea
Norway
Poland
Portugal
Russia
Saudi Arabia
Scotland
Somalia
South Africa
South Korea
Spain
Sweden
Venezuela
Vietnam
Then, compare and contrast the court system, policing, corrections, and investigative agencies in these countries with those of the United States. This should be accomplished by creating a table in landscape format using either Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel. Column headings should include courts, policing/law enforcement, corrections, and investigative agencies. Remember to include your cited resources in correct APA format whether in the table or written portion of the assignment.
In the essay portion of your Final Project, create your assignment based on the information you reviewed when comparing and contrasting the United States with the two countries you chose. In your paper
Provide at least one recommendation for improvement to the United States criminal justice system for each of the following:
Court system
Policing
Corrections
Investigative agencies
Provide a rationale, with supporting resources, for the reasons you are recommending these changes to the United States criminal justice system.
Evaluate the criminal justice systems by examining the global criminal activity in the two countries you chose.
Analyze the differing cultural perspectives on policing, courts, and corrections of your chosen countries.
Evaluate international policing and investigative agencies while creating this comparative justice classification strategy.

Overview:
TED is a nonprofit organization founded under the slogan “ideas worth spreading”, which they do in the form of powerful talks given on topics that range from science to business to art. For this assignment, you will choose one of the TED talks listed below and analyze the persuasive message that was delivered in speech form. You will analyze the purpose of the speech, the context of the speech, the claims in the speech, the audience for the original delivery of the speech, and the rhetorical appeals used in the speech. Finally, you will evaluate whether the message is effective in achieving the speaker’s purpose.
Essentially, you goal is to answer these questions – what is the speaker trying to accomplish with this speech, how are they doing that, and are they ultimately effective?
Process:
1. Consider the Rhetorical Situation: Read/view the speech several times over the course of different times/days, paying special attention to not only what the speaker is saying, but perhaps more importantly, how they present their ideas. A good way to begin is to write out on a separate piece of paper what you think the text’s purpose is, including: the thesis, the audience, the context in which the text was written, the tone, and the genre of the text. Think about the rhetorical situation (issues of purpose, audience, context, stance, etc.) in terms of the author’s choices. While you will need to address all elements, you will probably not focus on all of them equally (you will go into greater depth for those that are most relevant to your speech, and less in-depth for those which are not as relevant). This may seem like a lot of material to cover, but we will spend time in class talking about how best to arrange it.
2. Consider the Rhetorical Appeals: You should address all three elements of rhetorical appeals (Ethos, Logos, and Pathos). How does (or does not) the author utilize one (or all) of these three approaches? Note: texts typically utilize elements of all three, but they may not utilize them all equally.
3. Develop A Clear Thesis Statement: This is perhaps the most critical step in the writing process. You must ask yourself, “What is my purpose for writing this analysis?” Based upon your answer, you should be able to come up with a strong (unique) thesis statement. A thesis statement should reflect what you do in your analysis (i.e. a thesis statement is a roadmap for the rest of your analysis). Do not simply restate the author’s original thesis (remember the elements of the rhetorical situation — your purpose is different than the original author’s). In addition to stating your stance, your thesis should provide the reader with a clear direction of where you’re heading (e.g. what’s your topic/issue? what are your units of analysis?, what conclusion do you come to?, and/or what is the significance of your work?). We will take a class period to workshop thesis statements together.
4. Support Your Thesis Statement: The body of your analysis should be devoted to supporting evidence for your thesis statement. This will entail techniques of direct quotation/ paraphrasing of the source material, and your own assessment. You will go beyond summarizing what the author has already stated (this is your analysis). There is an important, but subtle, shift in focus from your thesis to your supporting evidence; your thesis states what you will do, but your supporting evidence reflects what (or why) the original author is doing it. This can be tricky, and causes some students difficulty, but we will cover this in class. Additionally, your paragraphs should each, subsequently, address the various rhetorical elements and the aspects of the rhetorical situation of the original text. Be sure each paragraph directly addresses your thesis statement. For each point you want to make in your analysis, you will want to give examples to support your claims. Using examples to support your claims will help your reader understand why you are making the claim you are making. For example, if you find a place in the text where the author is using pathos to appeal to the reader’s emotions, you should quote the place in the text where this appeal takes place.
5. State Your Conclusion: The purpose of your conclusion is to clearly, but briefly, reiterate what you were hoping to accomplish in your essay. In other words, it should reflect (mirror) your thesis. Note: It should not simply be a restatement of your thesis. It is designed to have the reader (re)contemplate on the thesis, in light of the evidence you provided in the body of the text, and understand the significance of your analysis.
Research: With the exception of the Works Cited page (in which you will include your chosen TED Talk citation information), no formal research is required for this assignment. However, for several of the rhetorical elements, you may have to go outside of the original speech to find the appropriate information (e.g. you may need to do a little research to find the author’s personal information or professional experience, what was happening, in the world, at the time the essay was written, etc.), if these things are relevant. If you find that you do want to research information to aid your analysis (background information about your author, or more information to place the context of the speech, for example), you will need to cite that information appropriately both in-text and on the Works Cited page. All analysis work, however, should be your own.
