Essays should be at least two but not longer than three pages (double-spaced). The Works Cited List does not count toward the paper’s length. Readings(Sources): Chapter One, The Structure of Argument (in Files), The Three Articles from AlterNet, NPR and FOX News ASSIGNMENT FOR PAPER #1: Analysis of Media Bias in THREE NEWS ARTICLES: For this paper, you will construct an analysis that focuses on media bias (or fair reporting) in three articles that appear in publications on the Left, Middle and Right sides of the Media Bias Chart (3 articles total). In your paper, show how bias or fair reporting work differently on all three sides of the spectrum, and give specific examples and frequent quotes to support your analysis. How do sources on the Left differ from sources on the Right? Do both sides state actual facts, or are facts missing or distorted? Don’t be afraid to call the writers out when you see unfair use of slanting or propaganda that twists or misrepresents the facts. Give your educated opinion about the levels of bias, lack of bias, fair or unfair examples, or any other aspect of these articles. Construct a clear, strong thesis, and organize carefully; each paragraph needs to begin with a clear (creative, interesting–that part is up to you) topic sentence. QUOTE from the articles in your body paragraphs, and analyze as you go. You are reading Chapter One in The Structure of Argument this week. What points from the chapter strike you as relevant as you look at these articles? Include some of these points in the paper. Beyond these basic instructions, take the paper in a direction that is important and relevant–YOU are the writer here, and you are analyzing as an educated person with a unique approach to the readings. Consider the Media Bias List; we will talk more about this in class. The paper needs to be your own analysis: a mixture of references to the articles and your own opinions about and analysis QUOTE from the articles as you write about them; do not assume that your reader has read the articles. CITE the at the end, using the Titles, Writers, Publication and Date of publication in a short Works Cited Sheet. OPTION: You can use the articles we read and discussed, or you can find three articles on your own. Make sure to use the Media Bias Chart and find articles about the same topic in 3 different publications (one from the Left, one from the Neutral area, and one from the Right). POST: Explain the three articles you are using and your approach. Include at least two paragraphs of your Rough Draft, and give feedback about other people’s ideas and paragraphs. What do you think of the writer’s main idea? Responses to the articles? Analysis? The Post Office and Mail-In Ballots:(sources) 1.

FOX News (Right): “Dems’ Media Mail-In-Voting Conspiracy Theory” https://www.foxnews.com/media/mollie-hemingway-dems-media-mail-in-voting-conspiracy-theory What “Bias” Means?: This is an excellent question, so I did some research as I responded to her questions. Then I thought–perhaps the entire class would benefit from more clarification about what Bias means, especially when it refers to political parties. This may involve some overlap from what I said on Canvas, but I hope some of it helps, 1. Dictionary Definition of Bias: a particular tendency, trend, inclination, feeling, or opinion, especially one that is preconceived or unreasoned: illegal bias against older job applicants; the magazine’s bias toward art rather than photography ;our strong bias in favor of the idea. unreasonably hostile feelings or opinions about a social group; prejudice:accusations of racial bias. 2. Bias in Politics and our Lives: TO make it simple, bias means what we do and don’t approve or of side with. For example, you may have a friend who loves to smoke marijuana, but you find it to be really bad and would never do it. Your friend has a pro-marijuana bias, and you have an anti-marijuana bias. We generally form our own biases, but our families can have a big influence. In my case, my dad was Republican, and from hearing his rants about why we should not help the poor, I learned that my bias was to the Left, or Democratic side. I believe a country can be judged by how we treat the poor, and if we don’t take care of them, we have no heart. My dad believed the opposite. It is a difference of opinion, but when the leaders of our country and politicians are biased, the effects can hurt of help the citizens, so it’s really important for you to decide where YOU stand as an individual! You can have biases about all sorts of things, like a bias against horror movies or the 99 Cent store or a bias for fruit over cookies, but usually bias refers to our political beliefs and other people. In politics, the Right represents the businesses and wants to keep business owners happy. The Left represents the people and wants to focus on their needs. These are very different biases. The Right has managed to keep wages very low; the Senate has more Republicans than Democrats, and they have refused to even vote on a bill to increase the minimum wage for years because the side with more people does not want wages to go up, because they are biased in favor of businesses. Our VALUES are like our biases; what are your feelings about immigrants, the poor, health insurance for all, gay marriage? ________________________________________________________________________________ The graph below gives you more information about how the Left (Democrats) and the Right (Republicans) believe about issues that affect us. News Sources are not often balanced (in the middle of the Media Bias Chart). Some TV stations and publications just support one sice. When a news source is biased, the people who write and broadcast the news believe the same way about something. For example, FOX News leans to the far-right side of the Media Bias Chart, so they support Trump, Republicans and Conservatives. This group has solid biases about every issue. This chart goes point-by-point to explain the difference between right-wing and left-wing beliefs: https://www.diffen.com/difference/Left_Wing_vs_Right_Wing (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.) Left Wing vs Right Wing – Difference and Comparison | Diffen (Links to an external site.) The fundamental differences between left-wing and right-wing ideologies center around the the rights of individuals vs. the power of the government. Left-wing beliefs are liberal in that they believe society is best served with an expanded role for the government. People on the right believe that the best outcome for society is achieved when individual rights and civil liberties are paramount … www.diffen.com You probably have biases too. What are some of your biases? I hope this has been helpful! Sincerely,
In many ways, the framers of the Constitution created a central government much stronger than the government created by the Articles of Confederation. Still, the framers seem to have taken great care to limit the power of the central government in various ways. Describe the ways in which the central government under the Constitution was stronger than the central government under the Articles. Describe the ways in which the framers limited the national government’s power under the new Constitution. Why might the framers have placed such limits on the government they just created?

Introduction to philosophy : a handbook for students of psychology, logic, ethics, æsthetics and general philosophy ([1927] 2018) Author: Külpe, Oswald, 1862-1915 Translators: Pillsbury, W.D., and E.B. Titchener Publication Information: Abingdon, Oxon : Routledge, 2018. Publication Date: 2018 The Purpose of an Introduction to Philosophy (pages 1-6) Chapter 1: The Definition and Classification of Philosophy (pages 7-14) Reference the class events and philosophical issues of up to the last two weeks. Focus your writing on the course philosophy topics from the last two weeks. For example, in the Week 2 entry, reference anything of philosophical interest from Weeks 1 and 2. On Week 2 we will read from the book of Oswald Kulpe. Perhaps mention something that you learned while reading the assigned sections. You can also reference the video I will upload by Wednesday of that week. Basic questions to answer in you journal entries: What did I learn? Was my mind changed at all from what the videos presented or what I read? Make sure to cite at least ONE of the sources, books or videos, for that week. Use a time stamp (for the videos) or a page/section name from the readings. We can tell when you did not participate and did not put in effort. You can discuss or mention particular hardships or barriers you experienced that week in relation to the course, but these should be minimal within 150 words, or your entry should be much longer than 150 words to meet the philosophical aim of the entry. To discuss particular hardships or barriers in the course, talk with the professor or teaching assistants during office hours.
I don’t need an introduction and I don’t need 3 movie from the Science fiction genre I just need two I have this as an introduction this is it. I chose science fiction as our genre. Science fiction movies are usually based on people’s imagination and thoughts about the future. Sometimes it provides a near utopia world, sometimes it talks about wars caused by high technology. Films of this genre appeal most to young people who are full of fantasies about the future, because those characters in the films are usually viewers dreamed to be. Viewers enjoy the visual impact of special effects in movies. It is defined as a genre that includes “scientific, visionary, comic-strip-like, and imaginative, and usually visualized through fanciful, imaginative settings, expert film production design, advanced technology gadgets (i.e., robots and spaceships), scientific developments, or by fantastic special effects.” (https://www.filmsite.org/sci-fifilms.html.) This paper will look at two science fiction films to determine how they fit the genre and explain it:
