Emile Durkheim wrote frequently about the concept on anomie – or the sense of “normlessness” that can occur when we become disconnected from social bonds and experience and/or an increased pace of change. It’s easy to argue that the vendors are in a near constant state of “normlessness”. Many of the vendors are unhoused, and engage in high-risk behaviors, like substance use. Despite this, others may argue that the vendors remain protected from anomie by their commitment to each other, and their collective sense of purpose. What do you think?
In a 400 word response, address the following:
In what ways are the street vendors protected from a sense of anomie?
In what ways are the street vendors at greater risk for anomie?
Where can we see examples of this?
Are the risks and protections different, vendor to vendor?

This essay will be the second major writing assignment of the semester. You will compose a piece of forensic (a.k.a. “judicial”) rhetoric, arguing from evidence that an existing law is either just or unjust.
You must do research, identifying the strongest arguments for or against your chosen law, then offer counterarguments that either persuade you that the law is just or unjust. You should consider this assignment a piece of forensic writing where you can research and uncover the past, the facts, or a truth from actions that have already happened or ideas and laws that have been implemented. **Important – when engaging in forensic rhetoric, be sure to determine your burden of proof. Do not use the strategy of stating facts but instead use your resources to prove your law is just or unjust.
Please remember, although you may want to take on the Supreme Court, it is advised that you pick up an argument closer to home. For example, writing a short paper about the law of the death penalty or abortion would not work for this assignment it is too large of an encumbrance for you to pursue. Also, trying to prove that you want to change the drinking age or legalize marijuana in Texas would again but too broad of a topic to handle. Instead, I would advise that you look up local Texas laws. For example, SB (Senate Bill) 1381 requires Texas businesses to ask for proof of ID with all Credit Card or Debit Card purchases. HB (House Bill) 478 states that a person who, by force or otherwise, enters a motor vehicle for the purpose of removing a vulnerable individual (i.e., child) from the vehicle is immune from civil liability for damages resulting from that entry or removal. HB 590, which took effect on September 1st, 2017, shields first responders who provide roadside assistance in good faith from liability related to their care, so long as they are not negligent, reckless, or commit intentional misconduct. HB 1645, which went into effect immediately, states that if a school district allows high school students to earn a letter for academic, athletic, or extracurricular achievements, the district must allow high school students in the district to earn a letter on the basis of a student’s participation in a Special Olympics event.
For this second essay, I would like you to adopt the academic style that you are probably already familiar with (MLA format). You should not, then, present yourself as a partisan—that is, one who has chosen his/her side of an issue before the fact. Instead, you need to present yourself as a dispassionate observer, critical and careful in your thinking about this issue. In other words, the style is going to be more inclined toward logos and much less toward pathos. Ethos must, as always, also be established, but this is best done subtly and implicitly. There is no place for the pronoun usage of “I” within this essay.
You will need to conduct research for this project and have at least two documented sources for this essay. You will certainly find more evidence for your chosen law than you can include in this short essay; hence, you will need to “sift” through it, selecting the best proofs, the most convincing evidence, for your paper. Do not construct a “strawman” argument (one that is weak, fragile, and thus easily destroyed). Instead, find the strongest evidence out there, and take it seriously in your writing of the paper. If you use websites, try to identify those that are credible. So try very hard to find those sources that present themselves as possessing a strong, trustworthy ethos.

Poetry Analysis Sheet
For this project you will read and analyze a poem written by a Latino poet. The following instructions will help you uncover the meaning of the poem.
1. What does the title mean?
Take a look at the title and reflect on what it means:
(You will need this for the introductory paragraph.)
2. Put it in your own words
Read the poem two or three times. You will see something different each time you read the poem. Write a brief summary of the poem in your own words. Highlight or list some of the words (nouns, verbs, phrases) that are important to understanding the poem.
3. What do you think the poem means?
Now think about the meaning of the poem, not just the obvious meaning of each word but what they
mean beyond the literal. Do these words suggest something else?
Answer these questions:
• Who is the subject of the poem?
• What are they talking about?
• Why do you think the author wrote the poem?
• When is the poem happening?
• Where is the poem happening?
• What is the poet’s attitude?
• How does the poem shift from person to person or between different times or places?
Most poems tell us about a poet’s understanding of an experience so the beginning will be different then
the end. The change may be in feelings, language (slang to formal), or connotation (positive to negative).
Explain how these shifts convey the poem’s message.

4. Poetic devices: Tools of the poet
Identify different poetic devices and how they convey the poem’s message.
• Simile – comparison using like or as
• Metaphor – a direct comparison
• Personification – giving human qualities to nonhuman things
• Tone – what emotion does the speaker use as he talks
• Point of view – who is the telling the poem
• Imagery – creating pictures with words
• Alliteration – repeating the same letter
5. Theme
Identify the theme (central idea) of the poem. How does the theme convey the poem’s message?
6. Look at the title again
Now look at the title again. Do you now have a different interpretation of the title?
7. Begin writing your analysis
Start with the introductory paragraph. It should contain the title, the author, and an explanation of the writer’s position as well as the significance of the title. Include a brief overall statement of the meaning
of the poem. This will lead you into the body of the analysis. In the body of the analysis, discuss how
the poem was written, which poetic devices were used, the tone, the poet’s attitude, and the shift of the poem from the beginning to the poet’s ultimate understanding of the experience in the end. Add your
interpretation of the poem.
8. Historical and cultural context
Integrate the research you have done on your author into your poetry analysis. Explain how the author’s
history and culture have influenced the poem.
List two important experiences that influenced the author:
List two conditions in the author’s country that influenced his/her life (poverty, political unrest, war, lack of opportunities, social constraints especially for women):

Research one legal case or recent event involving a tort and one legal case or recent event related to criminal law. Each case or event should have taken place within the past two years.
Write in-depth briefs explaining your selected cases using the IRAC method.
Each case brief should be 350 to 525 words and include an explanation of how the legal concepts in the selected case can be applied within a managerial business setting including considerations such as but not limited to:
Insurance
Internal auditing and reporting procedures
Explaining what could have been done differently in each case to avoid or reduce harm/risk
IRAC Method
Legal cases are usually examined using the following critical legal thinking method. First,
the facts of the case must be investigated and understood. Next, the legal issue that is to be
answered must be identified and succinctly stated. Then the law that is to be applied to the case
must be identified, read, and understood. Once the facts, law, and legal issue have been stated,
critical thinking must be used in applying the law to the facts of the case. This requires that the
decision maker—whether a judge, juror, or student—analyze, examine, evaluate, interpret, and
apply the law to the facts of the case. Last, the critical legal thinker must reach a conclusion and
state his or her judgment. In the study of law, this process is often referred to as the IRAC
method (IRAC is an acronym that stands for issue, rule, application, and conclusion), as
outlined in the following:
IRAC method
A method used to examine a law case. IRAC is an acronym that stands
for issue, rule, application, and conclusion.
• I = What is the legal issue in the case?
• R = What is the rule (law) of the case?
• A = What is the court’s analysis and rationale?
• C = What was the conclusion or outcome of the case?
This text—whether in its print or electronic version—offer students ample opportunities to
develop and apply critical legal thinking. The text contains real-world cases in which actual
disputing parties have become embroiled. The law cases are real, the parties are real, and the
decisions reached by juries and judges are real. Some cases are easier to decide than others, but
all provide a unique set of facts that require critical legal thinking to solve.

The Emergence of the Red Power: The Origins of Chinese Communists Group and its Domestic Foundation
Specific Insurgent Group that I want to research on:
– Chinese Communists (China to 1949)
Questions that I intend to explore:
1. Which factor or combination of factors best explains why an insurgent or terrorist group emerged in the country in question?
2. What were the main factors that led people to join this group, once it emerged, as “regular” terrorists/ insurgents? What was the typical recruitment process?
Books or articles that I have identified as potential sources of information:
1. The Survival Strategy of Chinese Communist Party Dickson, B.J; Washington Quarterly; 1 Octorber 2016, Vol.39(4), pp.27-44
3. Xu, Xiaohong. “Belonging Before Believing: Group Ethos and Bloc Recruitment in the Making of Chinese Communism.” American Sociological review 78.5 (2013):773-96
4. Li, Danyang. “Marxist theory and the Origins of Chinese Communists Group.” Chinese Journal of Historical Science 06 (2004): 218-73
The paper should begin with a brief introduction, no longer than 500 to 1000 words long, informing the reader of the questions and group chosen and then provide the reader with a brief overview of the history of the terrorist/insurgent group in question. Otherwise the paper may be structured in the manner seen as best to the student. All pages must be numbered. A few additional notes in this regard:
• You must use at least six (6) reliable sources in your paper that do not come from the course syllabus. If you have any questions about the credibility of a particular source, please speak with the instructor before the paper is due. All sources used must be listed in the final bibliography. Sources which are not in English must have beneath them their translation of the details of that source into English.
• You must note, at least once per paragraph, the source(s) that you have used in order to write that paragraph. Use the following format for in-paper citations of a book or article: (author family name, year of publication: specific pages consulted).

Ethical Consideration on Human Subject Protections
Ethical Consideration on Human Subject Protections
I’m doing a research proposal and my research topic is What happens to children left within the system and what’s life like after they’ve aged out of the system?
For this particular assignment, I have to answer the following questions below in apa format.
What safeguards are in place in your study to protect human subjects? Consider both emotional and / or physical harm. Consider who the subjects are and if children or some other vulnerable population such as elderly or mentally ill.
What is your basic ethical approach? How will you protect the participants/subjects from any possible abuses? What steps are you taking to ensure informed consent? Provide a copy of any letter and consent forms in the appendix.
When and how will you submit for Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval (for this class you were not required to submit the proposal for IRB, but this is an important procedure which you need to be aware off)? You can indicate that you have completed the human subject training and pass the test with 80% or above which indicate that you do have an understanding of the importance of human subject protection in research etc., You can also state that as a social work student research you are aware of the importance of ethical consideration and make mention to the NASW Code of Ethics…by quoting what it said.
Bias
We all have biases; the most insidious are those of which we are unaware or unacknowledged. What makes you different from your subjects? Is it race, ethnicity, social class, education, work experience, physical or mental ability, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc.? How might these differences impede your investigation (invisibility, insensitivity, overgeneralization, or perhaps double standards)?
Limitations
Now that you have an idea
(from your literature review)
how broad your topic could be, tell the reader what it is that you are deliberately not going to study. What aspects of the problem are outside the scope of your
interests at this point (or at least for this paper)? Then, if you had 3 years and $1,000,000 what are some of the things you could or would improve about your design, sample, analysis, etc. for your research proposal.

Journals
Keeping a journal has many goals. The essence of journaling is to have an ongoing dialogue with oneself. Keeping a holistic journal is a means of recording your journey into a new realm of awareness about your own health and wellness practices. This holistic approach brings with it changes in thinking and in ways of being, not just ways of doing. Journaling is one way to evaluate and observe your growth and ongoing learning.
