Research Paper Outline (WORTH 20%)

­­­­­­­­­­Academic research and writing are amongst the most challenging and important tasks faced by post-secondary students. The ability to locate quality research and discern and clearly communicate the value of that research to others is a distinguishing feature of the truly educated, critical thinker. While many students think their research and writing abilities are strong, the standards in post-secondary are often very different than those required in high school or the workplace. Moreover, no matter who you are (elementary school student to university professor) and no matter what your current abilities, your writing and analytical skills can always be improved.

The purpose of this assignment is to:

1) explore an issue of relevance to contemporary higher education in depth,

2) learn how to analyze and assess the merits of ideas in scholarly papers and other forms of research (e.g., government or business reports; scholarly books),

3) learn to cite and acknowledge the scholarly sources on which your analyses are grounded appropriately using APA format and,

4) introduce you to standards of post-secondary scholarly work by presenting logical, well-structured analyses in a concise research paper outline format.

Requirements:

This assignment is independent. However, it will be done in conjunction with your group project.

1.Find at least 2 peer-reviewed academic sources that pertain to your specific “group research question”.

2.Prepare a research paper outline and reference list in APA style. Length: 1 -1.5 page double-spaced (12 font, Times, Times New Roman, or Arial) plus 1-page reference list.

How to Develop A Research Paper Outline

For this assignment your task is to find a topic that is:

-“debatable” (i.e., has at least 2 different views on it); AND

-“researchable” (i.e., you will be able to find articles on it in one or more academic disciplines).

THUS: A paper outline that discussed the physical, emotional, and mental effects of marijuana would not meet the first criteria as it would be descriptive only, with little to debate. A paper outline that discussed whether hockey players who are found to have used steroid should be removed from the NHL Hall of Fame would not meet the second criteria, as there is no academic literature on this topic.

IN ADDITION: Ensure you avoid ethical (“should”) questions such as “should abortion be legal/illegal? Should stem cell research be legal?, etc” for three reasons:

1. To be effective in an academic sense, such arguments require the use of sophisticated philosophical concepts and arguments.
2. There tends to be little scholarly peer-reviewed academic literature on these kinds of topics.
3. People tend to pick these topics because they hold strong views on them and as a consequence resort to making arguments based on emotion rather than logic. Such arguments are not appropriate in academic contexts.

Outline:

Using the following format, provide a hard copy of your thesis statement, outline, and reference list. The outline should be in point form OR short sentences EXCEPT your Introduction and thesis statement (which must be written out in proper sentence format).

Title Page (on a separate page)

Introduction:

Research Statement: (2-3 paragraphs)

oProvide a thesis statement, which is one sentence that summarizes the argument of your paper. This statement must include both the PRO (thesis statement) and CON (counter point) sides of your research question.

oAn example: For the research question How does social media impact student learning? could write the following research statement:

o“Some educational experts claim that social media use can improve university students’ grades (your thesis statement-how you plan to argue the question) while others claim that it is related to lower grades” (con-counter-point-a relevant point that does not support your thesis statement, but one that needs to be addressed for a well-rounded argument).

Summary of Argument (point form)

Supporting source for “pro” side of topic (point-form)

oInclude brief summary of the source

oInclude analysis of the source. Is it sufficient, relevant, representative? Do the conclusions add up? Note: If the source doesn’t answer your research question directly, explain what information it does provide that is relevant to your question.

Opposing source for “con” side of topic”. (point-form)

oInclude brief summary of the source

oInclude analysis of the source. Is it sufficient, relevant, representative? Do the conclusions add up? Note: If the source doesn’t answer your research question directly, explain what information it does provide that is relevant to your question.

• Conclusion. (point form)
  • Briefly sum up your sources and how each contributes to your research question.
  • Draw a conclusion based on your evaluation of the sources and their answers to your research question (i.e., take a stance).
  • Present a thesis statement based on your conclusion (see Resource Links below).

References: (On a separate page)

Reference List in proper APA format (a minimum of 2 scholarly sources*)

Submission: Hand in a hard copy of your assignment (see Requirements above) at the start of class on the due date and submit electronic links of your articles to moodle titled “Contemporary Views: Scholarly Sources”.

Task one

In this assignment, you are required to create and present an essay that addresses a real-world scenario regarding the anticipation of a devastating crisis emergency (student selected), and you must make an assessment of the necessary technology (software or hard technology) to mitigate, resolve, and restore normalcy. The scenario may be of a terrorist attack, a natural phenomenon (hurricane, tornado, earthquake, flooding, etc.), a school shooting or act of workplace violence, an infrastructure failure, a natural gas line explosion and resulting fire, a forest fire threatening homes and lives, and so forth.

Assignment Guidelines

• Address the following in an essay of 750–1,000 words:
  • In detail, describe your selected scenario.
    • As stated above, your scenario can include terrorist attacks, natural disasters, violent domestic acts, school shootings, infrastructure failures, natural gas explosions, forest fires, and so on.
  • Regarding your scenario, what are 1–2 types of technology that you would use during each of the different phases of emergency management? Consider technology that is used to improve operational efficiencies, such as communications, industrial technology, and data storage.
  • The 4 phases that need to be addressed are as follows:
    • Mitigation
    • Preparation
    • Response
    • Recovery
  • For each technology that you have selected, address the following:
    • Is this technology applicable to any of the other emergency management phases? Why or why not?
    • Based on past use, how effective is the technology? Explain.
    • How much does the technology cost? Explain.
      • Consider equipment, training, maintenance, and implementation costs.
    • Considering future advancements, is the technology practical for long-term applications? Explain.
• Compile your responses into the final essay
• Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.

Task two

We are entering New Orleans, LA in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in late August of 2005. The storm has come and gone, the levies have broken, and there are floods throughout the city. Many people have evacuated to sites designated by the city’s leadership and are now experiencing the effects of horrendous heat and limited supplies. Police officers, reportedly concerned about the welfare of their families, have abandoned posts throughout the city.

National Guard personnel are inundating the community from all 54 states, and territories creating a force protection requirement of unprecedented proportions. The political leadership of New Orleans and Louisiana are seemingly at odds with federal leaders and agencies. Stocks of supplies that were supposed to be in warehouses have been pilfered and are nonexistent. Thousands of people are on rooftops, porches, portions of highways, and elsewhere awaiting rescue from anybody who will come. Thousands of small watercraft for the city and neighboring states are attempting to make rescues, taking risks and congesting limited routes. Hundreds of hungry, frightened dogs abandoned by fleeing victims are tied to porches or loose. Mosquitoes potentially carrying diseases and pathogens are feared to be multiplying as the waters linger. Gas lines burst and dry portions of the city are ablaze. Looting grows more common and violent. Survivors seem shocked, dazed, and deeply saddened; many have lost everything, including loved ones.

You will use a mixed methods approach to studying one slice of the Hurricane Katrina aftermath.

• Select your field of study: criminal justice, emergency management, or homeland security.
• Choose the issue that you would like to approach, whether directly from the scenario or as implied by the conditions listed.
• Determine what research method designs you will employ to tackle your problem.
  • You will outline a mixed methods approach, but consider what forms of both quantitative and qualitative you can use to approach your problem.
  • Remember that you will want to understand the problem fully; collect fresh data and/or consider existing data; interpret findings; and make recommendations to be integrated into policies, programs, or other initiatives as you would advise.
• In 1,000–1,250 words, draft an outline for your selected research methods and instruments, and present it with at least the following elements:
  • Problem Statement: Describe the problem fully, using real-world, factual information from credible sources. This portion should be at least 200–300 words and properly referenced using APA format.
    • What are the merits of examining this problem? Explain.
    • How important is this problem to undertake? Why?
    • What is the scope of this problem? Explain.
    • What value or applications might the findings or results have, and how can they be used? Explain.
  • Provide at least 2 research questions.
    • Design 1 to go with a quantitative approach to the problem you chose and 1 for a qualitative approach.
  • Produce at least 2 hypotheses for each research question.
    • Depending on which primary approach you choose, these may come early or later in your designs (in the weeks ahead); but for now, to solidify the principles, present 2 hypotheses for each research question.
  • Operationalize all variables for all hypotheses.
    • You may notice this is easier to do for one approach than another based on your problem. This should give you a clue as to which approach makes more sense for taking on the problem you intend to research.
  • List, describe, and justify the types of evidence you would collect to test your hypotheses, and support or refute these.
    • Do your best to make your list thoroughly comprehensive.
  • Consider at least 2 different outcomes for your research.
    • Discuss what routes you would take, given a particular outcome.
    • Consider whether you would rework your research plan, continue on with another method or instrument, scuttle the whole project, or advise policy makers to take certain measures. Explain how these differing potential outcomes could affect your progress or focus.

Post needs to be 400-450 words min.

According to the psychological perspective and research, how can early childhood stressful experiences (e.g., neglect, abuse, or lack of a secure attachment) influence the developmental of behavioral problems?

Next, referring directly to the textbook, briefly explain all three elements of the Integrated model.

Last, select one form of an anxiety disorder and explain how one of the elements of the integrated model can be used to explain the origins of that disorder. Anxiety disorders to choose from include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety phobia, specific phobia, separation anxiety disorder, selective mutism, and agoraphobia.

The strongest answer will refer to the textbook and concepts from the Reading material.
