authors purpose essay on no more bullies by frank peretti(formally titled the wounded spirit)
Write an essay about Joseph Brant, who was a Mohawk Indian that fought on the side of the British during the American Revolutionary war. This paper should be written about The Revolutionary War from the perspective of Joseph Brant, whose point of view is under-represented in recorded history. This assignment is an opportunity to create an account of the Revolutionary war from the perspective of Joseph Brant; to tell his view of historical events during the Revolutionary War. His point of view is one that other recorded interpretations of history might not have seen the same way. Present the era and experience of Joseph Brant in the context of what was happening around him, prioritizing his experience rather than the dominant interpretation.
For the final Portfolio Project, write a paper about an event in a period of U.S. history up to Reconstruction. This paper must be written from the perspective of a specific historical figure from an under-represented population. Use this assignment as an opportunity to create an account from your subject’s perspective, to tell a history that people might not have seen interpreted the way you interpret it. Represent the person’s era and experience in context of what was happening around them, prioritizing their experience rather than the dominant experience. Possible perspectives include that of Anne Hutchinson, Pocahontas, or Sojourner Truth.
Rebranding: A Logical (and Possibly Risky) Plan for Many Mature Brands. Rebranding is a major strategy for many mature brands. Some brands make minor changes while others change a wide variety of marketing mix factors. Some brands slowly make the changes over an extended period of time while others seek maximum impact by making many changes at the same time.
Your assignment is to write a manuscript where you (a) provide a list of 4 to 6 rules to follow when a brand considers rebranding as a major change. Your list should be provided in priority order and you need to clearly explain / justify your proposed list. Your document should also address some specific issues that are seen in many rebranding situations, such as: (a) logo change, (b) product change, (c) pricing change, (d) change in advertising message, (e) change in advertising media, and (f) other changes. When addressing these items provide examples where these changes were a part of a successful rebranding program.
This is what my teacher said needed to be added to my paper to get points:
I think it’s fine to argue that dialogue is better than Alinsky’s approach when approaching social problems. I’m not sure you have quite achieved an adequate argument with Alinsky, yet, but it’s certainly a reasonable conclusion. Lots of people during his time thought the same thing, and many of them were very thoughtful people.
If you want to argue that Alinsky is wrong to prefer conflict, hyowever, you need to first establish why he preferred conflict. In other words, you need to first make his argument as well as you can, and then you can critique it. And I think there is plenty in Reveille to lay out his basic argument for why he thinks conflict is more useful than dialogue as a tool.
Further, he directly critiques those who would prefer to use dialogue. What does he say at these points to justify his argument?
Sometimes there seem to be tensions in your own writing. For example, on p. 3 you sayd that “Alinsky had the vision of people living in peace and harmony”? Really? Did he think we would ever get there? Remember the “eternal war” quote? (In some ways, this seems to support your own argument, by the way)
He certainly did believe that you should treat the opposition as enemies. But that didn’t mean that you simply ignored them. Remember, he didn’t want revolution, he wanted a more equal status to allow negotiation with the powerful. Is this dialogue? Could you get to this kind of dialogue without conflict? If so, how?
So if you are going to argue that dialogue is better with the powerful than conflict, you would need to say why you think that Alinsky is wrong and that the powerful will give in just by talking with them (I don’t care if you are right, but you can’t just assert it).
And he did consider the “effects” of the means. He just didn’t limit what the means he would use, beyond his commitment to nonviolence (but didn’t want to use means with bad effects).
The ethics of Alinsky is a slightly different argument. You might split your argument in two. First arguing that Alinsky is wrong on a practical basis, and then arguing that he is wrong ethically and morally.
What I would like to see in response to the Alinsky argument is an example, from your own life or elsewhere, that would show the ways in which an Alinsky approach might make things worse and where his approach might be unethical. Give an example where “dialogue” with powerful people “has a better chance of solving a problem” as you argue. Or you might fall somewhere in-between, talking about the benefits and limitations of both positions–perhaps there are no perfect answers.
By the way, I’m not sure Alinsky says people followed people like dictators–doesn’t he say that they trust their local leaders because these leaders have shown themselves to be trustworthy? Does this make them less intelligent then than we are now? In this case as in others, if you are going to make a statement like this, I think you need quotes. In this case you might look at the example of the “little joes.” Does he say that “joe” becomes a dictator?
Also does he say you shouldn’t listen to other people at all? What would he do with a powerful person who listened and was reasonable and negotiated in good faith with the community? Would he attack that person anyway? Or would he look for someone else who wasn’t negotiating in good faith?
So, overall, I think you need to look more closely at exaclty what Alinsky said. I would start with Alinsky and not with the dialogue, instead putting the dialogue argument after you have established what Alinsky thinks–my suggestion.
Its to be written as a document for future professional peers who will work with Indigenous Australian colleagues or clients. There are 3 sections and must be exactly 250 words each 750 word in total I don’t mind paying for the 3 pages but this needs to be exact. I will be sending files with all the much need info through 4shared.com and I will send the link through to support.

“Understanding and Analyzing Arguments” Please respond to the following:
Use the Internet to search an example of an enthymeme in the media (e.g., Internet, television, radio, newspapers, etc.). Next, explain the example you searched and identify the implied premise in the enthymeme example. Fallacies and Errors in Sound Reasoning” Please respond to the following:
PHI210 #4
Use the Internet to locate at least two (2) advertisements that exhibit any of the following fallacies: equivocation, false authority, ad hominem, appeal to ignorance, or bandwagon. Post the videos in the discussion. Next, identify the fallacy used in the selected advertisements, discuss the primary reasons why you believe that the advertisers have used the fallacy in question, and examine whether or not their use of this type of fallacy is effective.
From part 1 of this discussion, consider alternate strategies that the advertisers could have used in order to develop a more sound and persuasive argument. Explain the main reasons why you believe consumers ignore these errors in reasoning.
PHI 210 #5
“Identifying Misleading Information in an Argument” Please respond to the following:
• Consider the following argument: There are many arguments for the elimination or modification of current U. S. drug laws, but one of the most persuasive involves what negative effects drug laws are having on society in comparison with the effects of the drugs themselves. In the past ten years, most forms of drug use have dropped significantly, especially among teens. Despite this, non-violent drug offenders accounted for 21.1 percent of the federal prison population. First time drug offenders serve, on average, a sentence three months longer than kidnappers, nine months longer than burglars, and thirty-three months longer than sex abusers. In 1992, the average cost of keeping an inmate in either state or federal prison was about $20,000 per prisoner per year. The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world, with 455 prisoners per 100,000 population. It is maintaining these prisoners at great expense in an environment where they are unlikely to develop a socially constructive attitude. Perhaps it is time that we reconsider our attitudes toward those who choose to use drugs; failure to do so may cost society even more than it already has.
Determine whether or not the argument uses any deceptive statistics. Give your opinion on whether or not the argument has persuaded you. Explain why or why not.
Determine the primary ways in which statistics or authority are used in your current position in developing persuasive arguments, and provide examples of such use.
