Project Description

Project 1 asks you to write 1200-1400 words identifying and describing major global issues through application of information literacy principles for research, evaluation, and communication of global and cultural systems. To do this, you will find and research a public controversy.

Next, you will learn how to present an unbiased analysis of two arguments created by stakeholders with seemingly incommensurate goals about a global or cultural issue or topic. You should clearly identify both stakeholders, fairly represent their perspectives using evidence, and then find and discuss what the two stakeholders have in common. Building on this common ground, students should then propose and clearly argue for a feasible, objective compromise wherein each would be asked to make concessions that would ultimately benefit both stakeholders, provide contexts in which the compromise will work, and demonstrate that the compromise appeases both stakeholders. Project 1 is a Global Citizens Assignment.

Project Assignment

You will write an essay of 1200-1400 words based on the following requirements:

  1. analyze two stakeholders with seemingly incompatible goals regarding the same issue or topic
  2. provide background on the stakeholders (context)
  3. include a thesis that presents the point of contention between the stakeholders and explains a proposed compromise
  4. identify why these two stakeholders have not yet come to a resolution
  5. establish common ground between these two stakeholders
  6. propose one specific, concrete solution by considering
    • the stated goals and concerns of both stakeholders,
    • current or past solutions, and
    • the feasibility of your solution’s implementation
  7. defend this solution as a workable compromise
  8. incorporate at least five sources:
    • at least one primary source material from each two stakeholders being discussed (i.e., information from the stakeholder websites, etc.)
    • at least one credible, scholarly source for each stakeholder that supports the validity of the stakeholder's position
    • at least one credible, scholarly source that supports the viability of your proposed compromise

PS: you do not have to follow the outline but you have to see the early draft. THE SUBJECT HAVE TO BE ABOUT "DACA".

(P1 A Alzheimer's and Dementia.pdf) is a good example for the project.

DACA The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was an American immigration policy that allowed some individuals who entered the country as minors and had either entered or remained in the country illegally, to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and to be eligible for a work permit. The stakeholders: ● Department of Homeland. ● Immigrants. ● Trump and his voters. ● Democrats. ● Republicans. ● The dreamers. ● Customs and Border Protection. ● Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ● American Immigration Council. I will be focused on : ● The dreamers. (Up with education, down with deportation) ● Trump and his voters. ( Make America Great Again) ● American Immigration Council. (Honoring our Immigrant Past, Shaping our Immigrant Future) ● Department of Homeland. (Our Mission. The vision of homeland security is to ensure a homeland that is safe, secure, and resilient against terrorism and other hazards) Two stakeholders that have conflicting viewpoints: 1. American Immigration Council is a powerful voice in promoting laws, policies, and attitudes that honor our proud history as a nation of immigrants. This organizations want to save DACA. 2. Department of Homeland they will not hesitate to put any regulations on any immigration programs for the safety of the nation. Both stakeholders want the best for the nation. The American Immigration Council wants to help and create jobs for the immigrants in need. The Department of Homeland wants protect the nation and its main concern is safety. Outline: Introduction:● A background of DACA ● The history of immigration Body:● American Immigration Council point of view. ● Department of Homeland point of view. ● Safety . ! ! Romano 1 Jessica Romano Ms. Allyson Hoffman ENC1102.013S16 13 March 2016 The Alzheimer’s and Dementia Association of America The Alzheimer’s Association and the Dementia Society of America are two organizations that are dedicated to supporting the elderly who are affected with illnesses related to memory loss. Both illnesses- Alzheimer’s and dementia- involving memory loss are commonly viewed as less important when compared to other diseases. This is mostly because of the age range these illnesses target. “Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in America. Also, one in three senior citizens die due to Alzheimer’s or another dementia” (Alzheimer’s Association). These organizations are supporting serious brain targeting illnesses and deserve to be viewed more importantly and taken seriously. A way for these illnesses to be looked at as a national priority would be for these organizations to expand. Although the two organizations have similar goals, they have yet to work together and enlarge their missions. If the Alzheimer’s Association and the Dementia Society of America were to collaborate and build together as one big organization, the awareness of these mental illnesses and both associations’ missions will be amplified, not to mention the possibility of a large increase in donations. While dementia and Alzheimer’s are not the same, they are interrelated and one stems from the other. The Healthline Medical Team describes the severity of dementia by stating, “Dementia isn’t a disease. It’s a group of symptoms that affect mental tasks like memory ! ! Romano 2 and reasoning. Dementia can be caused by a variety of conditions, the most common of which is Alzheimer’s disease.” By stating this The Healthline Medical Team defined dementia and in addition described its frequent evolution through Alzheimer’s. The Dementia Society of America (DSA) is a non-profit organization that accepts donations and puts them towards advancements in dementia research since there is no found cure yet for this mental illness. “Mission Statement: To enhance the quality of life for those living with Dementia, caregivers, and the community!”(Dementia Society of America) The DSA has three main aspects that they primarily focus on: educate, provide, and recognize. DSA educates and recognizes by having a 24/7 helpline where people can call in and discuss the symptoms and stages they’re going through to get help. They attempt to spread awareness through advertisements by using their slogan “Know Dementia.” They feel it is crucial that everyone is knowledgeable about the signs and symptoms involved with dementia and are able to catch it early on (Dementia Society). They provide programs such as therapies that allow those with early signs of brain discontinuity to speak out about it and seek help. Many times when a senior citizen is affected with dementia, they’re unable to care for themselves and are often put in homes or have an aid that is there to take care of them daily. As previously stated, there isn’t a cure yet to dementia, but doctors have attained certain treatments that can stop it from progressing and allows those affected to live a better quality of life. Alzheimer’s Association (ALZ) focuses primarily on the safety and comfort of those affected with Alzheimer’s. They define this disease by stating, “Alzheimer’s is a general term for memory loss and other intellectual abilities serious enough to interfere ! ! Romano 3 with daily life.”(Alzheimer’s Association) ALZ is a non-profit association that contributes all donations to Alzheimer’s research in hopes to eventually terminate this disease. Alzheimer’s Association provide hotlines and facilities where those affected can come and speak to someone whether they’re dealing with this disease firsthand, think they may start to be experiencing it, or are even watching a loved one go through it. They hosts fundraising events such as “The Walk to End Alzheimer’s” and “The Big Day,” where people come and walk or dance to raise money for Alzheimer’s research. “Our Mission: To eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance are and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health”(Alzheimer’s Association). Alzheimer’s is a serious disease that affects millions each year. “In 2014, the 85years-and-older population includes about 2 million people with Alzheimer’s disease, or 40 percent of all people with Alzheimer’s age 65 and older.” (Alzheimer’s Association) The public commonly turns a blind eye to this disease since it targets the elderly; therefore it’s sometimes viewed as less important. The problem with this common thought is that Alzheimer’s can begin its affects earlier on in age, which is known as, “early on set Alzheimer’s.” Along with dementia, when someone has Alzheimer’s they’re unable to continue to care for themselves since their memory and reasoning is lost. Therefore, this disease cannot afford to be ignored because its affects are irreversible and millions are affected. “Unless a cure is found, more than 16 million Americans will have the disease by 2050.” (Alzheimer’s Association) While both of these organizations are dedicated to helping illnesses involved with memory and reasoning, it almost seems there isn’t any conflict that could stir. The ! ! Romano 4 problem lies not on the organizations, but within the priority of the public and those who donate. As stated before, the public commonly focuses on “more important charities” rather than those involving Alzheimer’s and dementia. A suitable compromise would be for Alzheimer’s Association and the Dementia Society to collaborate and begin a charity between the two connected illnesses. This hasn’t already happened because they’re both relatively popular organizations on their own. The Dementia Society of America has previously been collaborating with several other organizations, other than the Alzheimer’s Association. ALZ has yet to propose this merger because they already incorporate dementia in their research since Alzheimer’s triggers a form of it. “The Alzheimer’s Association works on a global, national and local level to enhance care and support for all those affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementias. We are here to help” (Alzheimer’s Association 1). With this statement in mind, the organization is called Alzheimer’s Association, not Alzheimer’s and Dementia Association; therefore it’s not obvious to the public eye that ALZ supports dementia in addition to Alzheimer’s. By joining together into one big organization that is equipped and dedicated to the research and support of Alzheimer’s and all forms of dementia, the growth and expansion of research and donations are endless. This compromise is possible because it has happened before in the past where two organizations or companies have successfully merged together into one. In 2006 the company Walt Disney bought Pixar. Before this expansion, Disney was eligible to release Pixar’s films and have the money distributed amongst the both of them. In 2006 their contract was set to expire and therefore, Disney sought out to buy Pixar and with doing ! ! Romano 5 so was largely rewarded. “Disney and Pixar can now collaborate without the barriers that come from two different companies with two different sets of shareholders”(Steve Jobs, CNN). The possibilities in franchise, cable, and theme parks were limitless and a huge increase and advancement to the now uniform company. They were once two successful companies separate, but combining together and sharing ideas opened a whole new door of possibilities. Therefore, based off of Disney and Pixar in 2006, it is possible for two organizations with similar goals and interests to combine and work together as one. While Alzheimer’s and dementia aren’t the same, they are connected in certain ways. Having the Dementia Society of America and the Alzheimer’s Association merge together would heighten both charities reputation base while donation contributions increase. Having the organizations collaborate would have several advantages such as: being able to provide more opportunities for fundraising events, an increase in advertisement, and have research excel as donation’s increase. Although the organization’s missions aren’t exactly the same, Alzheimer’s Association and the Dementia Society of America would greatly benefit by combining together into one. Both charities would finally be viewed on the level of importance they deserve, not to mention the advancements in research that could eventually find a cure for these life-threatening illnesses. ! !

ENC 1102: Project 1 Intermediate Draft Guiding Questions In preparing for the Intermediate Draft, please answer the following questions: 1. From your Early Draft, choose two of the stakeholders who are “at odds” with one another. (If none of your stakeholders thus far are “at odds” with one another, consider choosing two different stakeholders). What might need to happen for both of your chosen stakeholders to achieve their purpose(s) with regards to your issue or topic? 2. Propose at least two compromises that might satisfy each of these stakeholders regarding your chosen issue or topic. What must these two sides each give up as they try and reach an agreement? 3. Choose one of the compromises you proposed in #6. What needs to be in place for your compromise to be accomplished? Explain those factors. This is an important step because you will need to prove to your audience (and your stakeholders) that your compromise is viable using research, so really think about how you could support the viability of your proposed compromise.

American Immigration Council is powerful in helping to voice its concerns on the
support of the coalition that guides the permanency and the legislation of the young immigrants
that find themselves in a dilemma where there is a termination of the DACA initiatives.
Department of Homeland focuses on the protection of the community from illegal activities that
arise such as terrorists, and this makes it a contribution towards DACA important. More people
are losing their status and these calls for the need of the support of the legislation as it guides the
solutions presented in support of the policymakers and the bills that ensure that the rights of the
children are protected. The opportunities presented by the program helps in ensuring that there is
the protection of the children and this guides the need to focus on the reforms in immigration and
the creation of the path towards the legalization and the award of the citizenship for the children.
The opportunity for the young immigrants to remain the country with the elimination of
deportation fears encourages the young people to apply for opportunities as they are issued with
work permits, and this helps in ensuring that there is an impact in the social and the economic
environment. DACA continues to improve the lives of the people and helps in increasing their
productivity in the economy enabling the reduction of the risks faced when they are in the
country.
The integration of the young people in the society helps in ensuring that there is the
provision of the guidance needed in managing the different a...
