Order Description

Problem Solving/Policy Implementation: Assignment 4

**THE SOLUTION IS CREATING A PROGRAM IN THE MILITARY THAT ALLOWS THESE PEOPLE TO BE ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER THAT HELPS THEM WITH THE FOLLOWING NEEDS FOR UP TO 18 MONTHS AFTER LEAVING THE MILITARY:
– RESOURCES FOR HOUSING
– RESOURCES FOR BUDGETING
– RESOURCES FOR PURSUING EDUCATION
– RESOURCES FOR EMPLOYMENT
– RESOURCES FOR HEALTHCARE

**Keep in mind that there are many resources availible for these problems, but the military tells these people about them in a 5 day course, which is unrealistic and overwhelming for the military personnel.

3: Hegel and Marx

Order Description

Topic:

Hegel argues that the family, with its patriarchal structure, and civil society, with its capitalist economy, are essential pillars of ethical life. Explain this argument. Where helpful, make use of Marx’s critique of the family and civil society in order to clarify Hegel’s view. Refer to the secondary readings as well where appropriate.

Specifications:

1. The paper should be no more than 5 pages in length, typewritten, double-spaced, with 12-point type and standard 1-inch margins. You do not need a plastic cover or any special binding for the paper; a staple in the upper left corner will suffice.

2. Any standard citation procedure may be used (footnotes, endnotes, parenthetical citations). I only ask for complete clarity in citations. You are not required to use any materials other than those provided in the course, but the use of outside sources is acceptable. Resources available only on the internet may not be used, but you may certainly use internet sources that are otherwise available in hard copy form. Consult The Chicago Manual of Style (14th Edition or later) if you have doubts about the proper format for quotes, citations, etc.

3. Plagiarism is the most offensive act a writer can commit. You must never represent the work of others as your own. If you use the words of an author, you must enclose the quotation in “quotes” (or, if it’s lengthy, set if off in block form) and give a proper citation. This is true whether you quote directly or paraphrase (i.e., rewrite the work in your own words). You must also give a proper citation even if you use only the ideas of an author. If you have any questions about what constitutes plagiarism please consult the instructor.
Instances of plagiarism have been increasing of late. If you plagiarize, you will receive an “F” for the assignment and a request for disciplinary action will be submitted to University authorities. You will not be given the opportunity to rewrite the paper.

4. Every paper must have this signed statement on the title page: “I understand the rules governing plagiarism and I certify that the work contained in this paper is my own.

5. The second most offensive act an author can commit is an error in spelling, grammar, or punctuation. You must also pay close attention to syntax and readability.
Misuse of the possessive will not be tolerated: “the Court’s argument”; “Socrates’ argument.” “The peoples’ [more than one people] rights.” “The ruler’s

view.” “The rulers’ [more than one ruler] view.”
Know the difference between it’s (a contraction for “it is”) and its (the possessive). “It’s too late to study.” “History finds its ground in the historical-material-dialectic.”
You should also avoid using split infinitives, though many folks will say they are ok. I do not care for them. “To boldly go” should be “to go boldly.” “To” in conjunction with any verb is an infinitive; no words may intervene between “to” and the verb.
Please learn the difference between “principle” and “principal.” “The most important Marxist principle is derived from the historical-material-dialectic.” “Marx’s principal argument was the necessity of developing a revolutionary consciousness among the proletariat.”
Know the difference between “to,” “two” and “too.” Know the spelling of “judgment.” Do not spell “lose” as “loose”; know the difference.
Pronoun agreement is vital. “Each person should develop his [not “their,” despite what you may have been told] own argument.” (If you like, use “his or her.” I do not care whether you are politically correct, but you must be grammatically correct.)
Do not rely on the spell-checker in your word-processor. Spell-checkers are only sure to catch typographical errors, not all misspelled words.
These are only a few examples of the grammatical conventions that you are expected to observe assiduously in your writing. Consult The Elements of Style, by Strunk and White, for help in these matters.
Note that you will be graded severely with respect to grammar, spelling, syntax, and punctuation. Typically, more than one such error per page will result in a full letter reduction or more in your grade.
