Intro to Political Theory FINAL PAPER<br>
Choose between the following four options:<br>
1) POWER IN MANY FORMS:<br>
FROM SOFT DESPOTISM TO DISCIPLINE AND CONTROL<br>
In the above quote from his Democracy in America, Tocqueville is struggling to describe a new kind of power emerging in the new form of society he examines with both fascination and concern. He does use the concept of “soft despotism” repeatedly throughout the book, yet at this late point of the text he wonders if this is an adequate descriptor of democratic society’s power. More than a century later Foucault argued that a new economy of power had emerged with modernity: he stressed “discipline.” Deleuze then built on this claim to add that “discipline” was now transforming, and that “control” was becoming prevalent.<br>
Compare and contrast “soft despotism,” “discipline,” and “control.”<br>
Drawing from Foucault and Deleuze, would you say that Tocqueville’s fears have been justified since he wrote Democracy in America?<br>
2) INDIVIDUALISM, THE INDIVIDUAL SUBJECT, DIVIDUALS<br>
In Democracy in America, Tocqueville worries about “individualism” in democratic society, yet he underscores “self-interest properly understood,” which in his view promises to be a healthier notion. On the other hand, Foucault problematizes the individual and argues that disciplinary power “individualizes and totalizes.” He writes:<br>
“It is not that the beautiful totality of the individual is amputated, repressed, altered by our social order, it is rather that the individual is carefully fabricated in it, according to the whole technique of forces and bodies” (217).<br>
Deleuze adds that the society of control inaugurates yet other kinds of subjects, namely what he calls “dividuals:”<br>
“Individuals have become ‘dividuals,’ and masses, samples, data, markets, or banks. … The disciplinary man was a discontinuous producer of energy, but the man of control is undulatory, in orbit, in a continuous network.” (Deleuze, 6)<br>
Engage two of the three authors in a critical discussion, around the following question: to what extent does the individual subject emerge from and to serve a disciplinary economy of power?<br>
“I think that the type of oppression threatening democracies will not be like anything there has been<br>
in the world before; our contemporaries would not be able be able to find any example of it in their<br>
memories. I, too, am having difficulty finding a word which will exactly convey the whole idea I<br>
have formed; the old words despotism and tyranny are not suitable.” (Tocqueville, 805)<br>
<br>
3) POWER, KNOWLEDGE, EDUCATION<br>
What is the relationship between the disciplinary society and the sciences of man for Foucault? Can you read Tocqueville’s call for a “new political science” from a Foucauldian perspective? What did Tocqueville have to say about knowledge, and intellectual pursuits, in the democratic society? In what sense does Foucault go further in his critique? Deleuze underscores data, flows of information, etc. In what ways do the developments that took place since Foucault and Deleuze wrote, like Twitter, the blogosphere, social media, continuous information channels, etc, alter the way we know what we know?<br>
Each author at least mentions education, with various levels and depths of critique. Tocqueville criticizes America for valuing only vocational education though he praises the <a href=”https://U.S” target=”_blank”>U.S</a>. for providing education to many, while Foucault compares schools to prisons, and sees both, along with the factory, the hospital, the family, as oppressive disciplinary institutions. Finally Deleuze denounces control qua “perpetual training.”<br>
Discuss the relationship between power and knowledge drawing from the three authors. Discuss also the relationship between a given economy of power and the form schooling takes in it.<br>
Critically reflect on what it means to take an exam, or an online class, or to write this paper, and make your own argument regarding education, building on, drawing from, and perhaps critiquing the three authors.<br>
How might you transform this problematic disciplinary or control endeavor in one that might make you more autonomous?<br>
<br>
4) STREET ART, NORMS, RESISTANCE Comment on these graffiti from a Foucauldian and Deleuzian perspective:<br>
Emphasize: norms; repetition; pace, rhythms and temporalities of discipline; institutions.<br>
Is this graffiti, because it is graffiti and thus a disobedient form of art, also a form of resistance to the fabricated freedom it and Foucault denounce? Is Foucault’s book Discipline and Punish a form of resistance to the normative system, the disciplinary society it describes? What might be the role(s) of critique, philosophy, and art in a disciplinary society? How and where does Foucault see resistance (last part of the book)?<br>
<br>
INSTRUCTIONS<br>
Important Technicalities<br>
– Do not include your name on your paper, only your Panther ID number.<br>
– Make sure to indicate the prompt number you have chosen, at the top of your paper.<br>
– Create an original title for your paper: do not merely copy the prompt title, but try to write<br>
a title that both catches your reader’s attention and at the same time gives a clear idea of the<br>
problem you’ll discuss.<br>
– Your paper must be between 7 and 8 pages.<br>
– Double-spaced, 12 point font, Times New Roman, one inch margins.<br>
– You must include citations where appropriate (anytime you paraphrase or comment on an<br>
author’s insight, and everytime you quote – note that quotes are different than citations: if you do not know the difference, make an appointment with someone at the center for excellence and writing).<br>
– Due date is December 8th at 4:30pm. You will have to bring a stapled, hard copy of your paper to your <a href=”https://T.A” target=”_blank”>T.A</a>. Garrett Pierman. Please his mailbox: it is located on the fourth floor of the SIPA building. If you cannot locate the TA mailboxes, ask the staff at the department’s front desk or any other faculty/staff member. They will be happy to assist you.<br>
– No extensions will be granted unless you document of absolutely exceptional circumstances occurring during most of the time you have to write the paper. In this event, please contact your instructors immediately. If you do not face such circumstances, any lateness will be sanctioned with an “F” for the final.<br>
– This final paper counts for 30% of your grade in this course, as indicated on the syllabus. The 8 Commandments of Theory Writing<br>
– Thou shalt understand, analyse, critique:<br>
This final exam requires that you demonstrate good reading comprehension and a careful analysis of the texts, but it will also require that you to take an original, critical position on contemporary political matters, drawing from and responding to the texts.<br>
– Thou shalt distinguish:<br>
Be very attentive to the differences and distinctions between each author’s respective positions and concepts. Tocqueville and Foucault are interesting to discuss together as they share some common questions, but they do not formulate these in the same ways, and their political and philosophical positions are drastically different, sometimes incompatible, in some respect, while they converge in a couple of aspects. Always emphasize differences and disagreements more than commonalities.<br>
– Thou shalt be precise:<br>
Always try to be as rigorous, precise, and specific as possible. Whenever you make a given claim, consider possible claims that would refute it. Develop every claim you make in detail. Structure your argument. When you comment on a given passage (especially when dealing with<br>
the quotes provided in the prompts), always determine how that passage is situated in the overall text, how and to what extent it must be contextualized in a larger argument.<br>
– Though shalt take copious notes for a close reading, before composing<br>
Use the hand-out “SSAACC” on Blackboard and the study guides, to re-read the texts looking for material that addresses your topic, and put together abundant notes before you even start composing an outline and thinking of what your argument will be.<br>
– Thou shalt structure your reasoning and arguments:<br>
Do not free flow write everything at the last minute before due date. Plan your outline carefully. Make sure that each paragraph and each section supports the main claim(s)/addresses the main problem(s) explicitly. Try to think of all the possible counter-claims you can, for each assertion you make. Refute these carefully and clearly, or use them to nuance your own claims. Support and elaborate upon each claim. Only once you have taken lots of notes, as suggested in the commandment above, should you start thinking of your outline. And only once you’ve written a detailed outline, should you start writing. And only once you’ve finishing writing the whole development, should you write your introduction and your conclusion.<br>
– Thou shalt not propose a program, thou must critique and ponder instead:<br>
You are not writing a policy memo. Instead you should try to “stay with the trouble.” This is what philosophy does best: pose critical problems, especially where there would seem to only be self-evident, given, obvious, taken for granted, matters. Elaborate on the questions posed in the prompt you have chosen, and pose new ones from there. Work the key concepts and develop a discussion of how the authors understand these. You should not seek to arrive at a conclusion in the sense of a “solution,” or an answer to questions like “what is to be done?” Instead, your goal should be to leave your reader wondering what to think on even more issues than you even started with.<br>
– Thou shalt forget you are writing to be graded by a teacher:<br>
Do not write with your professor or your <a href=”https://T.A” target=”_blank”>T.A</a>. in mind as your audience. Instead, imagine you are explaining, critiquing and commenting these various authors so that a curious and smart undergraduate student who has not read these texts would be able to follow your reasoning.<br>
– Thou shalt transform and challenge your own self:<br>
In fact, not only is the goal here that you are able to articulate a careful and rigorous argument that challenges even the most seemingly self-evident truths, a skill that you’ll enjoy at future thanksgiving dinners, but most importantly, you should come out transformed by the experience of writing this … So really, ultimately, you are writing for your own self, to think thoughts you’d never suspect you could think. And then the challenge is to make those intelligible to others, so that you can spread the trouble.<br>
If you feel dizzy by the time you are done, that’s most likely a good sign.<br>
Think hard and enjoy!

12 font, 1-inch margins, Times New Roman

Nearly one-half to two-thirds of each essay will be the summary and explanation of course reading.

Your final essay should be between 1400 and 1500 words long. double-spaced, in a font comparable to the one used on this page. Any quotations and paraphrases from the text must be cited (in whatever format you prefer), and your paper must be edited and proofread. The final essay must be submitted to Canvas by 5PM on Tuesday, December 8. Special Instructions: On Wednesday 12/9 I will email any student who has not turned in a paper. Please check your university email account on that day. If you do not get an email from me, I have your paper. If I email you because I don’t have your paper, it is your responsibility to respond immediately. If I do not receive your paper by the time I submit my final grades, you will fail the course. Throughout this course, we have focused on identifying arguments and formulating objections to the main claims in those arguments. Each week, we’ve read a lead article and have followed it by reading 2 to 3 criticisms of the argument presented in the article. For your final essay, I want you to present a focused, well-organized criticism of one of the following authors: Reiman (capital punishment), President’s Council (cloning), Pateman (Prostitution), or Wonderly (video games). The goal of the essay is to evaluate the argument of the author. Thus, you should not select an author based on whether you agree with his or her conclusion. Instead, select an argument that you understand and will be able to criticize. Prompt: In light of the criticisms you present, does the author present a good argument? In the course of your essay you must (this is a checklist not an outline): 1. Explain the argument that you will criticize. You should focus on those facets of the argument that will be particularly important to your criticisms and not simply summarize the<br>
paper from beginning to end. 2. Present one or more criticisms of the argument. You may not use criticisms that are presented in the readings. You must fully explain your criticism, giving examples if needed to help demonstrate your points. It is better to spend a lot of time developing one criticism than to give a long list of criticisms. 3. Consider how the author might respond to your criticism. Are there any ways in which the author could defend his or her argument? 4. Express whether or not the original argument is a good argument. You must take a side. <br>
Your essay will be judged on its overall organization, the clarity of your presentation, your<br>
attention to and use of the text (through frequent citation), and the thoughtfulness of your argument. You must structure your paper as an essay. It should have a clear statement of purpose (an answer to the prompt) in the introduction. You must edit and proofread your paper several times. Papers with basic grammatical errors will be significantly penalized. Finally, all quotations and paraphrases: Quotations: All quotations must be cited with a page number. You can place this citation in parentheses at the end of the quotation or in a footnote. • A quotation is material that is copied directly from a source and placed in quotation marks. For example, Fullinwider constructs an example in which, “Jones is walking down a street. Smith steps from behind the corner of a nearby building and begins to fire a gun at Jones, with the appearance of deliberate intent to kill Jones. Surrounded by buildings, Jones is afforded no means of escape. Jones, who is carrying a gun himself, shoots at Smith and kills him (37).” • If the quotation is taken from a work used in class, you do not need to provide a full citation on<br>
a works cited page. Full citations are required for all other works.<br>
Paraphrases: All paraphrases must be cited with a page number. You can place this citation in parenthesis at the end of the paraphrase or in a footnote. • You paraphrase material when you take a specific passage and put it in your own words. It is not sufficient to change a word or two. The paraphrase should be your own sentence, not a modified version of the original sentence. If you are looking directly at the reading when you<br>
write your new sentence, you are not paraphrasing. You’re plagiarizing. • Here is an example of a paraphrase of the passage I quoted above. Fullinwider uses an example in which Jones and Smith meet in an alley. Smith fires at Jones and tries to kill him. Jones cannot escape and draws his own weapon, killing Smith (37). • If the paraphrase is taken from a work used in class, you do not need to provide a full citation on a works cited page. Full citations are required for all other works. Works “Consulted”: When you utilize material in a general way, making reference to a major claim but not a specific passage, you should provide a full citation. Put this citation on a works cited page. • There is room for judgment here. Specific claims should be cited by page number, while general claims often cannot be. Your goal in providing these citations is to give the reader: (1) a full sense of all material used to formulate the main claims of your essay and (2) the ability to track down the information you are using. If you are closely following a source, for example the<br>
introductory material in our textbook, then you should absolutely cite that source.<br>
General notes: 1. Quotations disrupt the voice of your essay and often do more harm than good. Only quote passages that cannot be paraphrased or passages in which the specific wording is very<br>
important. Fewer quotations are usually better. 2. It is never good practice to quote lecture material. If necessary, you should paraphrase that material. Better, you should go to the text and find the passage that was discussed in lecture. 3. When explaining source material (<a href=”https://i.e” target=”_blank”>i.e</a>. explaining Fullinwider’s argument) paraphrases are essential. Paragraphs that are primarily explanatory might have several citations. 4. If you are looking at material when you are writing your essay, you need a citation. This includes web-pages, introductory material, or course notes. 5. The essays for this course all require a significant amount of explanation. Nearly one-half to two-thirds of each essay will be the summary and explanation of course reading. Thus, in those parts of the essay more citations is better than fewer. Every specific claim, every quotation and paraphrase, should have a citation.

Managing for the Future – Individual Module Assignment 2015/2016 <br>
Assignment Brief and Purpose <br>
Throughout the lectures and seminar sessions you have considered what the future organisational environment might look like and also theoretical contributions addressing what management can ‘do’ about it. This assignment requires you to gaze into the future and critically evaluate potential management responses to what you see. The essay title and more detailed requirements are below. <br>
<br>
In the early 20th century one exponent of Scientific Management wrote this: <br>
<br>
“These principles can be studied as a technical question, irrespective of the purpose of the enterprise, the personnel composing it, or any constitutional, political or social theory underlying its creation”. <br>
Lyndall F Urwick (1933) Management of Tomorrow, London, Nisbet &amp; Co <br>
<br>
This quotation suggests that scientific management theorists saw their ideas as universally applicable <br>
<br>
This assignment requires you to address the following question in the form of an essay; <br>
<br>
To what extent are the principles of scientific management applicable to the 21st century and the cultural diversity of contemporary organisational life? <br>
<br>
Your essay should include the following four elements <br>
<br>
A critical evaluation of the main features of scientific management. <br>
<br>
A detailed assessment of the extent to which they prevail in contemporary management practice. <br>
<br>
A detailed discussion on the extent to which scientific management is relevant to contemporary managers. This will also involve a discussion on the challenges 21st century managers might face. <br>
<br>
A critical discussion of alternative ways of understanding management. <br>
<br>
The assignment requires you to read widely and engage in a high level of critical thought. Your essay should outline the various and competing perspectives on management of organisations and critically appraise their usefulness in the 21st century <br>
<br>
Accordingly you should consider the theoretical perspectives offered in relation to examples from contemporary organisations. This will involve you in keeping abreast of current issues in the news. <br>
<br>
The essay also requires you to consider your own organisational experience in the light of these perspectives. This might be where you are working or have worked but it need not be; we are all familiar with one form of organisation or another whether it is an educational organisation (school or university), a recreational organisation (football clubs or drama group), a voluntary organisation (charity or political lobbying group), a religious organisation (temple, church, mosque) and so on. <br>
<br>
The scheme of work indicates some of the areas we will explore in lectures, your essay may also explore these areas but you are not confined to them; you can delve into areas we have not touched on in the lectures but the requirements of theoretical discussion, critical thought and contemporary examples remain. <br>
<br>
You are not required to produce large amounts of undigested data from company reports, websites or any other source. You may use such data to help construct your argument, but sparingly and only in a focussed manner. <br>
<br>
Structure and Writing Style – Credit will be given for a well-constructed argument demonstrating both wider reading and reflective consideration of the issues. Writing style is important; the objective is to address the question presented in an academic but persuasive manner. This involves marshalling arguments from academic sources as well as examples and deductive processes. The standard of English, spelling and grammar will be taken into account. It is essential that the essay is properly referenced both in the text and at the end in the form of a reference list. The bibliographical system required is the Harvard system and a free leaflet detailing the use of this system is available from the library. <br>

Hi, the course: Labour economics,<br>
This assignment ask me to do the Stata output with 2011 national household survey, and based on Sta ta output to get mean value table (table 1) &amp; regression tables (table 2,3,4), and then composed 1500-2000 essay on it, the detailed requirement is shown in “assignment 2” file. <br>
<br>
1. prof send us the example paper (similar structure to this one) I have already upload it in attached file, you can take a look, it will be helpful for the essay structure.<br>
2. In this paper, prof ask edit the stata output to present it in a format<br>
that is suitable for a table in a research paper. I have already got the stata output, and “do-file” if you need it, I can scan the stata output for you which i<br>
printed.<br>
3. For my research paper, I choose Southeast Asia immigrants (mainly from Vietnam) in Quebec. And compare to other immigrants and Canadian born, I go to prof office hour ask him about paper ideas, he says: focus on Vietnam refugees came Canada during 1975-1976, and research more sources related to this topic to compose whole essay.<br>
4. for the table 1, is not a regression table, it is a mean value table.<br>
What you can write:<br>
eg: for wage variable, the people from southeast asia get less than Canadian born people<br>

(you can analysis it like this, and I will give you the code for variable, or you can check in code book , which I will upload)<br>
5. for regression tables, eg: table 2<br>
as you look the table, the coefficient is highlight in red: study in foreign country (<a href=”https://-0.2629925″ target=”_blank”>-0.2629925</a>), why I mention this number, I came to prof office hour, and let he look my stata output, he point out this number, and say:<br>
