Using the New York Times, research and chose three articles from 2017/2018 that discuss the Syrian War and ongoing refugee migration. Be sure to find at least one article that addresses the plight of women and girls caught in the conflict. Synthesize the information from the three articles into a 2-page paper that summarizes the most important information in a logical sequence. this is not an article report, but a synthesis; so, for example, a paragraph should include information from more than one article. The only sources used should be the three New York Times articles. The summary should answer the following questions:
1. Why is there a war in Syria and when did it begin? What are the complicating factors that make achieving peace quite difficult?
2. How has the war contributed to internal displacement of individuals, as will as larger refugee exodus out of Syria and to Europe? (when possible, use stats to support your discussion)
3. What are the particular experiences of girls and women in this conflict?
The British colonization of Virginia, Maryland, the Carolinas, and Georgia in the 1600s was marked by an extensive demand for agricultural labor. As the assigned class readings show, planters shifted from using indentured servants for much of the 1600s to African slaves by the late 1600s and early 1700s. What factors contributed to the development of indentured servitude and slavery as labor systems? Why did the transition from indentured servitude to slavery occur?

Paper should be based on answering questions above
Write a 4 to 5 page, double-spaced paper in 12-point font that addresses the questions posed above. Be sure to base your claims on the assigned readings, documents, and other materials covered in class. These include chapters 1 and 2 of the textbook and the “Evolution of slavery documents” and “South Carolina slave codes excerpts” in the Week 3 folder in resources section on Sakai.
Your paper should follow standard grammar, punctuation, and citation methods (APA, MLA, or Chicago). Citation guides are in the resources folder on Sakai.
MANAGERIAL DECISION AREA
Portfolio Paper should concern a major MANAGERIAL DECISION AREA that would be made within a firm. It is suggested but not necessary that this decision area would be one in which you have personal experience. Some examples would include: (1) Starting a new business or entering a new market; (2) Hiring part-time workers rather than full time to handle an increase in demand for the company’s product; (3) Outsourcing work versus doing it “in-house;” (4) Negotiating labor or supplier contracts; (5) Developing either a personal or departmental budget and then controlling toward it; (6) Purchasing versus leasing machinery; and (7) Phasing out a product or moving out of a market. Note these are only a few examples, but I would like to see your topic selection posted on the discussion board by the Wednesday of Unit two.

Write an essay in which you explain your perspective on whether film or television influences society or simply reflects its values
Like advertisers, producers of television shows and movies often argue that they do not create problems, but simply reflect the values of society. Do you think this is the case? Do TV and film simply reflect the values of society, or do they have an influence on the way people behave? To answer this question, choose a particular film or television genre and analyze how it either reflects society (or a segment of society) or influences it.
Write an essay in which you explain your perspective on whether film or television influences society or simply reflects its values. Take into account the views expressed by any of the writers in this chapter (Ackley, Chapter 10, “Film and Television,” Perspectives). Focus on a specific film or television genre about which you have formed an opinion regarding how it reflects or encourages certain social values or kinds of behavior after reading the assigned texts. Supplement those readings with additional research. Then explain in detail your own position using the class readings and your research to support your analysis of the film or television genre you are focusing on and how it either reflects or influences its audience. For instance, you could focus on popular sitcoms like Modern Family and analyze how they reflect current values in American society or, alternatively, how they promote them (depending on your argument). As another example, you could choose a film series like the Fast and the Furious and analyze either how it has an impact on youth today or simply reflects the values already there, again depending on your position.
Notes:
Your first task is to provide your readers with sufficient background information to understand the specific genre you have chosen to consider, identifying the features that define the genre, the history of genre, and how your example TV shows or films fit into that genre.
Your second task is to provide your readers with sufficient background information to understand the specific position that you are taking with regard to whether your chosen genre has an impact on society or simply reflects it. You will then need to develop a supportable thesis reflecting your perspective on the way this television or film genre influences or is influenced by society.
Your third task is to use well-chosen examples and facts to support your thesis. Use a minimum of three sources to do this. Provide support, including at least one citation in every body paragraph. (Remember, you must cite a source any time you summarize, paraphrase or quote an idea that is not your own.) Although quotes are generally used sparingly, a minimum of four quotes is required for this paper.
Create a Works Cited page that is properly formatted in MLA-8. The MLA Handbook: Eighth Edition contains directions for this task.
Because this is an academic piece of writing based on facts and research, the use of the personal pronoun “I” is probably inappropriate. Do not use phrases like, “In my opinion,” as you are making an argument supported by evidence, not just stating your beliefs. You are writing for a general academic audience that has little knowledge of the topic you are discussing.
