[order_calculator]Your paper assignment in this course is a single 5-8 page paper on your choice of topics relevant to the study of criminality/criminal behavior. Specific topics might be (but are not limited to):
• A specific criminal typology (murder, rape, robbery, auto theft, whatever)
• An emerging area of crime (cybercrime, for example)
• A theory of crime (biological, psychological, sociological, etc.)
• The prison system
• Capital punishment
• Treatment of criminals
• New ideas in crime prevention
• Or something similar
Note: Those suggested topics are really overly broad (capital punishment, for example, is too broad of a topic for a 5 page paper). You will need to choose a subtopic within that general area if you choose something like that. The history of capital punishment in the US, for example, or the abolition debate, or a discussion about DNA and how DNA science has led to the reversal of death sentences, etc.
2: How broad of a topic should I write on?
See above. You want a topic that is broad enough that you won’t run out of stuff to write about (but realistically, it’s only a 5 to 8 pager – you can get pretty specific). However, do NOT write on a topic so broad that you only scratch the surface of the topic, as I will deduct points for only providing a surface analysis of the issue.
3: How big does the paper have to be?
5 to 8 pages, typed (word processed) and double spaced. I suppose I have to be precise: At least 5 full pages of body, using no larger than 12-point font, double-spacing, and margins no greater than 1 inch on a side. Papers TO ANY EXTENT shorter than the minimum length will receive no higher than a C.
4: What kinds of research sources should I utilize?
I would expect that for these types of papers, five types of basic source material will be important:
1: professional journals. You must have at least two citations from professional journals in each paper. These are journals like Deviant Behavior, The Journal of Crime and Delinquency, Social Problems, Criminology, Journal of Social Issues, American Sociological Review, and a whole host of others. Most of these can be searched online using the library’s computers, or any computer at USF, or at home if you configure your computer correctly. The web page has a link to the instructions on how to configure your computer to do library searches. The librarians are extremely helpful and knowledgeable in these areas. Avail yourself of their skills. Papers without a minimum of two professional research sources will receive no higher than a C.
2: books on the subject. Use the library catalog to search for books containing info you may be able to use.
3: popular periodicals.
4: your textbook. Do not neglect it as a starting point for your research.
5: Internet sources (but be VERY careful not to use material without proper citation/reference. Don’t cite Wikipedia, please).
6: How many references do I need for each paper?
A minimum of five. At least two professional journals or compilations, and enough more to make a minimum of five references. More is good. Papers with fewer than five fully, correctly referenced sources (which are cited inline as per APA/MLA) will not receive a grade higher than a C.
By the way, those “no higher than a C” warnings are also cumulative. If you turn in a paper that’s too short, AND has too few references, you can’t score higher than a D.
7: What reference/citation format should I use?
Please use either APA or MLA format, and be consistent. If you are not familiar with either format, consult with the writing center or a sourceguide on style. Another resource which is quite useful is the Citation Machine (www.citationmachine.net). It can automatically format both reference and citation for you.

[order_calculator]The world economy in the early 21st century has been characterized by continuous tensions between the developed countries, which are dependent on stable oil and gas supplies, and the countries that possess these natural resources in abundance. However, this is not the first time that such tensions have shaped world macroeconomics and politics. Already after the first oil crisis in 1973, some European countries called for improved communication and coordination between the world’s largest oil producers and the world’s largest economies. Nevertheless, those suggestions were largely ignored, and, in 1974, the International Energy Agency was formed to represent the interests of oil-consuming countries and to create a counter-balance to OPEC.
The second oil crisis in 1979 and the First Gulf War in 1990 proved, although many thought otherwise, that the international community had not learned that a collapse or spike in the price of oil could cause confusion in the international oil markets, damaging both consumers and producers alike. Political problems stemming from the fact that none of the most developed countries are energy sufficient cannot be blamed on oil alone. Recently, Russia has been using its dominant position as a supplier of natural gas to Western Europe as a leveraging tool in its dealings with the EU policymakers.
Many countries around the world do indeed perceive their dependence on energy as a potential source of strategic problems and actively promote alternative sources of energy, such as solar (Spain, Morocco), wind (Southwestern US), or bio-fuels. The global appeal of the Japanese bullet trains, and the expansion of this rail system to Europe in the 1980s and 1990s, to China in the early 2000s, and to other Asian countries in the near future, is a valid example.
All issues related to energy use are closely linked to environmental policies, which have had a significant impact on several industries, and perhaps none more so than the automobile industry. For example, a few major cities, including London and Paris, have made it progressively more difficult for drivers to use their private cars.
In this dialogue, we will be taking a close look at the issues surrounding oil dependency, consumption, and production in today’s globalized market.
1. Research the Internet for information on the political and economic relationship between the US and EU on one side, and the major oil-producing countries in the Middle East on the other.
2. compare and discuss future scenarios in these relationships. Answer the following:
How are U.S. approaches to oil-producing countries and bio-fuel applications different from those of the EU?
How may those future developments affect the car industry?

[order_calculator]Purpose
write an informal proposal in letter form.
Business and Technical Writing
Background Information
Here’s a brief review of the scenario;
Phoenix Advertising, with its main headquarters in Charlotte, North
Carolina, serves clients that include banks, insurance companies,
and retail chains. You’re vice president of human
resources management at Phoenix. You report directly to
Gregory S. Forest, the company president.
You’ve already investigated the branch and provided a report on
the problems there and your recommendations for managing
them (for study units Organizing, Researching, and Illustrating
Your Material and Writing the Report ). Mr. Forest has reviewed
that report and now wants you to present to the executive team
a specific proposal developing one of the recommendations you
gave. Following are the primary problems covered in the
scenario but also carefully review the underlying causes you
discovered in your investigation (which you created from
your imagination).
In the last three months, two of the top management people—
an art director and an account executive—have left the branch.
Each left for a position with a competing agency.
Three of the graphic designers and four of the copywriters
are threatening to quit because they feel their creative efforts
are being rejected or revised without consultation. They want
to be part of a collaborative team, not produce work that the
art directors and account executives evaluate arbitrarily.
In an attempt to show increased profitability, the branch
is accepting all potential clients without evaluating the
accounts in terms of current project workload. As a result,
without being given any notice and without compensation for
the additional hours, all employees are working long hours
several days each week. Employee morale and productivity
seem to be decreasing with each passing day.
Process
Step 1
Choose one of the problems. Use your brainstorming notes
and the investigative report for the recommendations you
listed to solve that problem. Brainstorm further about the
reasons for and causes of that one problem by delving even
further into the “whys” of that problem. As you did previously,
list several questions and review the answers you’ve discovered.
Explore those answers in greater depth to determine the
fundamental causes of the problem. (Think of the problem
as a set of symptoms of an illness that you need to treat.
What disease is causing the symptoms? What areas of the
body are affected by the disease?)
Step 2:
Freewrite further on each recommendation you made in your
investigative report for resolving this problem. Ask yourself
questions about what must change, what you must make
happen with the employees and departments at Roanoke to
solve the problem so it won’t reoccur. Remember that your
primary goal for the proposal is to revitalize the employees
and departments in order to restore the Roanoke branch to
full productivity. Use as a starting point any of the following
that apply to the problem you’ve chosen:
■ What can the executive team do to reverse the downward
spiral of employee morale and increased workload
requiring overtime?
■ How can the executive team help the Roanoke branch
retain its current clients and gain new ones?
■ Is training needed for employees and/or managers?
If so, what types of training are required? How can
the executive team accomplish training over time to
minimize impact on business?
■ What can be done to streamline or reorganize the office
procedures or to incorporate new technology to improve
productivity? What training/support will then be needed
to enable the office employees to embrace the changes
and succeed?
Make sure you’ve done enough exploring in Step 1 to guide
your creative efforts toward the changes you’ll make in Step 2.
You want to ensure permanent change, so you must understand
the exact nature of the causes in order to develop a
detailed, logical solution.
Step 3
Break the overall plan into individual parts or actions so
you can develop each step in the process separately, organizing
a logical flow for each phase from beginning to end.
■ How much time is needed to accomplish each component
or stage of your plan?
■ Are there steps that must be completed before another
phase can begin?
■ How long will it take to complete each step?
■ How will it impact the daily operations of the branch
and headquarters?
Step 4
Now review the people at Roanoke and across Phoenix
Advertising who you’ll need to accomplish each part of
your plan. Your proposal must use people from within the
company—don’t hire outside personnel. Create names and
job titles as well as qualifications to fit your plan. Review
your list of steps and for ask yourself:
■ Who at Phoenix Advertising and/or the Roanoke branch
has the experience, training, and qualifications to achieve
this stage of my plan? What proves he or she is the one
for the particular phase?
■ What exactly do I want that person to do to accomplish
this step? When? How?
■ Who oversees the implementation of each phase?
■ What progress reports must be provided to the executive
team and when?
■ What’s my part in the proposed plan of action?
Step 5
Your next step is to itemize the costs involved in accomplishing
each component of your plan as you outlined it in Step 3. You
may need to research current costs of additional employees,
training/motivational programs, or technology. The Internet
or even phone calls to representative companies in the Yellow
Pages can provide useful information. Your figures should
have some realistic basis. Remember to factor in costs such
as the following:
■ The number of employees involved in each phase
■ The loss of employee time from completing regular
obligations of current job
■ Any travel or materials/workbooks needed for training
Create appropriate budgetary categories related to the stages
of your plan. Establish an overall cost for each phase and
within each phase itemize the different costs involved. Itemizing
is important to provide clear support for your numbers and
line items the executive team can review if the total cost for
the proposal is too much for the company’s budget.
Step 6
Organize your prewriting from Steps 1–5 using the following
main headings:
Introduction
Background
Proposal
Schedule
Staffing
Budget
Request for Authorization
Final Examination 5
Business and Technical Writing
Step 7
Following the outline in Step 6, write a 2–5 page draft of
your proposal in letter format. Use single spacing (unless
the format requires more spacing), bold for headings, and
italics for subheadings.
Introduction. Your Introduction is the only section not
labeled with a heading. As your opening paragraph, it must
begin with an interesting hook, contain your qualifications to
prepare this proposal, and summarize the general problem
and the benefits of your plan.
Background. The Background section must persuade the
executive team that a dire need exists. Summarize the field
investigation of your chosen problem and describe the causes
of that problem. Include specific numbers and percentages
(facts and figures) with explanations to show how you determined
each contributed to the problem. Your reasons must
be based on the facts you uncovered, not the feelings of
employees at the branch. End this section with a bulleted
list of the key phases (stages) you’ll develop in the proposal
section to solve the causes. Phrase each stage as a key
action goal.
Proposal. In your Proposal section, develop the steps needed
to solve the problem. Use a phrase or word for each goal you
listed in the Background section and italicize it. (You’ll use the
same phrases or words in the Schedule and Budget sections.)
Then write at least one paragraph for each goal, outlining
what actions are involved in that phase. Develop detailed,
clear-cut solutions to the underlying issues and causes you
identified in the Background section.
Schedule. Your Schedule section must use the italicized
words to outline the phases described in the Background
and Proposal. Use column format.
Staffing. The Staffing section describes, in paragraph form,
the specific people, their qualifications, and their assignments
as related to each phase of the proposed solution.
Budget. Your budget section must itemize the primary steps
of your plan. Use a table format with your own headings for
each column. The first column will use the phases from the
project outlined in the Proposal and Schedule sections. Be
sure to show under each major phase the related costs for
accomplishing it.
Request for Authorization. The Authorization section must
suggest a time frame for approval of your plan. Since this
section is also the last thing the executive team will read,
persuasively provide assurance that your proposal will
achieve your goal. Summarize the problems and describe
the benefits of your plan for Roanoke branch, their clients,
and Phoenix Advertising as a whole.
