Joseph Harris explains what he means by countering, and this gives us interesting ways to deal with sources in our essays. For this essay please choose a new topic to research. Once again, it could be an issue, controversy, or theory. Try to persuade readers by using ideas from sources to make an argument. In particular, counter your sources the way Harris describes. You may also want to forward and/or come to terms with sources, if that helps you achieve your purpose. You could use Graff as an example, the way he counters Tannen’s project and uses it to further his purpose.

Case study
Marcia Norman, 39, and her husband, Mitchell, had been married for 25 years and had several children. Mitchell did not work. He forced Marcia to make money by prostitution, and he made fun of that fact before family and friends. He beat her if she resisted going to a truck stop and offering her body. On a few occasions, he made her eat out of the pets’ bowls and insisted that she bark like a dog. He threatened to kill or maim her numerous times.
Marcia and Mitchell got along very well when he was sober. But early one morning, he was intoxicated when he went to a highway rest area where Marcia was prostituting herself and assaulted her. He continued beating her all day after they got home. She called the police and was told to come in and file a complaint, but she was afraid that he would kill her if she had him arrested. She ingested a bottle of pills, then panicked and called EMS. Her husband cursed her as the paramedics treated her and urged them to let her die. After they left, Mitchell continued to slap, kick and throw objects at Marcia. At one point, he put a cigarette out on her upper torso, causing a small burn. After he fell asleep, Marcia took their baby to her mother’s so that she would not wake him, returned with a pistol and killed him.
At trial, Marcia pleads self defense, which is defined as “the necessity, real or reasonably apparent, of killing an unlawful aggressor to save oneself from imminent death or great bodily harm.” The state does not have a battered-person syndrome statute.
In a paper of about five pages, make alternate arguments that 1) Marcia Norman is not guilty of the murder of her husband; 2) Marcia Norman is guilty of the murder of her husband.

So Far:
This semester, a large part of our initial work was about the “filter bubble,” personalization, the way search engines and social media determine what information comes to us, and how that filtering can affect how we see the world. From there, we moved on to discuss ideas about social media, privacy, censorship, democracy, and social change.
So Now:
Your job for the final assignment is to produce a document that will examine the ideas we engaged in class and what role they should play in your field of study. Your assignment will include: CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!
I. A two page rationale
The Rationale should explain your position on the connection between the ideas we covered in class and your own field of study. For instance, if you are in law enforcement, you might look at how surveillance technology (including things like facial recognition and biometric “gait recognition”) will play a role in the future of the profession. If you are going into the medical field, you might look at something like genetic patenting. If you are going into business, you might look at how banks are starting to consider loan applicants’ social networks in order to help determine credit-worthiness. Essentially, the paper will answer the following question: Why should people in my field be thinking about this issue? This part of the paper should engage the sources from your annotated bibliography, but the bulk of the rationale should be made up of your own perspective, based on the research you have done. A rationale that is simply a collection of quotes will receive a failing grade.

II. An annotated bibliography
An annotated bibliography is a preliminary document that provides an evaluation of sources. It should do the following:
Summarize: What are the main arguments of the article? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say? The length of your annotations will determine how detailed your summary is.
Assess: After summarizing a source, it may be helpful to evaluate it. Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source?
Reflect: Once you’ve summarized and assessed a source, you need to ask how it fits into your research. Was this source helpful to you? How does it help you shape your argument? Has it changed how you think about your topic? CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!
