Book Essay Guidelines
The Epoch of Napoleon
Your book essays should NOT be in a narrative format or a review of the story and its details. I would like you to take a position on this book and defend it, citing examples from the book itself. This is commonly referred to as an argumentative essay. (Note: If you would like to cite outside sources, that is fine, but please be consistent in your citation format. If you prefer APA or MLA style to Turabian, you can use whichever you are familiar with, just make sure to do so throughout your paper.) Below I will provide an example of an argument about The Epoch of Napoleonand use an example to support these arguments. This is merely an example; you should identify a position of your own and support it with your own examples.
My only requirements for the essay are as follows:
• 750 words (Double spaced)
• Cover page with name, course number and section, date, and title of essay
• Page numbers (Top right hand corner, no page number on cover page)
• Works Cited Page ONLY if you use outside sources, like a website, another book, or an article
A successful paper should think critically about the book and make an argument for the book’s significance, literary style, or deeper meaning. For example:
Argument–Owen Connelly argues that though Napoleon ruled in a despotic and authoritative manner, he considered himself a democrat based on the ideas of Montesquieu and Rousseau.
Example – For instance, Napoleon expressed sentiments such as “Sovereignty resides in the French people, in the sense that everything without exception ought to be done in their interest, for their welfare and for their glory.” (Connelly, 10)
Therefore, the opening paragraph of my essay would look like this…
Owen Connelly argues that though Napoleon ruled in a despotic and authoritative manner, he considered himself a democrat based on the ideas of Montesquieu and Rousseau.For instance, Napoleon expressed sentiments such as “Sovereignty resides in the French people, in the sense that everything without exception ought to be done in their interest, for their welfare and for their glory.” (Connelly, 10)
An argumentative essay can have one main theme, or thesis, or it can be united by a number of connected arguments. All arguments should be supported by evidence though, either throughdirect quotes or paraphrasing; in both cases, when using another person’s ideas a citation is always necessary.

Topic: Post impact disaster management
Order Description
My chosen emergency is again the 7/7 London Islamic terror attacks on the transport network.
This is a two part assignment with this work laying the strong foundation and detailed introduction to the major project report which will be at a later date. I have included the major project report assessment criteria at the end to provide context for you for this assignment.
I have also uploaded an example of an assignment which I would like you to use as formatting and a guide for this work.
I have also uploaded the marking criteria matrix and learning outcomes please could you follow these and the task instructions very closely thank you.
Id like you to mention in the detailed introduction of the post impact phase how the threat of terrorism has moved away from the Irish republican campaign (IRA)and the government now refocusing on the modern era threat of Islamic extremism.
Could you also use a map,picture and maybe a diagram or time line to enhance the reader experience and really focus on the presentation and detail.
Can each page have the subject code 208 the page number and the name of the assignment as a header with also a table of contents at the beginning.
Task
Part A – Project Definition (50%)
Part A requires you to define your Major Project and focuses on the post-impact phase of your selected emergency event as well as the hypothetical assessment that you will undertake.
You will be assessed on a clear and concise description of each of the following areas as they pertain to your Major Project – the post-impact phase analysis of your selected emergency event and the hypothetical assessment (Assignment 2). Mark weighting for each section is identified in parenthesis beside each section. A copy of the assignment marking sheet used for this assignment is contained at the end of this assignment guide.
• Project Aim (5%). Define the aim of your Major Project.
• Project Objectives (10%). Identify the objectives that you will set for your major project to achieve your Aim.
• Project Scope (10%). Describe the geographical, time, research and other parameters that you will set for your Major Project.
• Project Authority (5%). Identify the authority (or authorities) under which you will undertake the post-impact phase study of your selected event.
• Project Context (10%). Describe the context(s) that will influence your post-impact phase study.
• Project Relevant History (10%). Briefly describe the event that you have been studying in your earlier Emergency Operations Management subject (206). This event should be the one you are studying in this subject also. Explain the relevant history pertaining to your selected event and similar events that have occurred in the past (if any).
Part B – Annotated Bibliography (40%)
By now, having already examined the pre-impact and impact phases of your selected emergency event, you will have amassed quite a bit of information on your event. Such information may be in the form of journal/magazine articles, newspaper reports, books, book chapters, papers, reports, on-line web pages/publications etc.
You must now develop an annotated bibliography for fifteen (15) of these references that relate to the topic areas requiring discussion in Assignment 2, due later in the session. These topic areas are:
• Search and rescue
• Triage and casualty care
• DVI and securing of evidence and coronial inquiry
• Critical incident stress management
• Community services
• Recovery and restoration
• Warning systems
• Legislation and regulation
• People
• Infrastructure
• Buildings
• Emergency services
• Cost
An Annotated Bibliography is an organised list of citations to books, book chapters, articles, papers, which describes the source in a short, descriptive paragraph or two.
An Annotated Bibliography can provide information regarding:
• The contents and form of the article, book, paper, etc.
• Suggest the sources usefulness to your research
• Evaluate its method, conclusions and reliability
• Record your reactions to the source.
An Annotated Bibliography:
• Enables the reader to decide how useful the source is
• Demonstrates the quality of the research
• Informs the reader of the accuracy and relevance of the research
In approximately half a page per reference you are required to specify:
• Bibliographic details
• The relationship between the reference article/publication and the discussion topics
• Strengths and weaknesses of the reference article/publication with relevance to your hypothetical examination.
Your annotated bibliography will assist you in a number of ways. These include:
• Identification of sources that you may wish to use and cite in support of your final hypothetical examination for Assignment 2.
• Identification of informational areas that are lacking with regard to the discussion topics.
• Identification of discussion topics where information is lacking and whether further information needs to be obtained.
Presentation (10%)
The way you present your work and ideas within the assignment will also be assessed and will be worth 10% of your assignment mark
Rationale
This assignment continues on from your studies in 206 and enables you to develop direction and scope for your Major Project (Assignment 2). It also enables us to ensure that you are on the right track as far as the post-impact phase major project is concerned and provide feedback, advice and assistance where needed.
This assignment will provide you with the basis of your Introduction for your Major Project Report (Assignment 2) and can be viewed as a draft of that first section in Assignment 2.
Part A – Project Definition – approximately 1500 words
Part B – Annotated Bibliography – approximately 10 – 15 pages

Assessment item 2
Major Project Report
Value: 80%
Task
I want you to use the framework we have given you to critically analyse the management of the post-impact phase of your selected event and the hypothetical recurrence of that event today and report on those things that were done well and those things that could have been improved. If we learn from history we will be better able to manage similar events in the future.
The framework below is a suggested layout for this assignment with marking weightings included. A copy of the assignment marking sheet that will be used for this assignment is attached at the end of this assignment guide.
Although you have studied a number of areas of emergency management pertinent to the impact and post-impact phase of emergency/ disaster operations management in your studies, in this assignment we only require you to critically analyse two of the post-impact areas (Part A) and two of the Hypothetical areas (Part B).

• What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in locating/accessing data for your report?
• If you had any difficulties, how did you overcome them?
• What would you do differently next time?
Rationale
This assignment follows on from your studies in 206. The assignment completes your study of emergency operations management and focuses on the post-impact phase of your selected emergency event, but also includes a hypothetical assessment of your chosen event as if it occurred today. Your assignment comprises three parts:
• Part A – investigate the post-impact phase of your selected event and identify strengths and weaknesses in the way the post-impact phase was managed.
• Part B – examine a hypothetical recurrence of your selected event today, identifying strengths and weaknesses in the way it might be managed today.
• Part C – allows you to critically analyse and assess your own performance in the research and production of your report. By effectively analysing the problems experienced and the way those problems were managed you will be better prepared to identify and manage future research problems that may arise.
You will be able to draw conclusions from your research and make recommendations that will enable future emergency events to be more effectively managed.
By successfully completing the assignments within the emergency operations management component of this course you will be better able to understand potential problems that an emergency manager will face when managing the pre-impact, impact and post-impact phases of an emergency event.
Writer's article choice for qualitative design report
See The Attached documents MFT 580 Instructions (assgn 2) a written paper that is an analysis of a qualitative research report using the twelve basic parts in the example document outline below. This paper also needs to include a critical analysis of the research article you are using to write your paper. EXAMPLE OF PAPER: (PLEASE FOLLOW THIS 12-PART FORMAT- PLEASE INCLUDE THE ARTICLE USED TO WRITE THE PAPER) Assignment #2 Qualitative Analysis CIATATION To begin with, the title of the article is “Too Blessed to be Stressed”: A Rural Faith Community’s Views of African American Males and Depression. Notably, four established female authors contributed to this article, and their names are Keneshia Bryant, Tiffany Haynes, Nancy Greer-Williams and Mary S. Hartwig. I chose to analyze this particular article because I am interested in how African-American males cope with mental health issues within the church setting. Also, I chose to study this research because I want to become more knowledgeable about how depressive symptoms impact the lives of African-American males in the faith community. PURPOSE AND GENERAL RATIONALE Specifically, the purpose of the study was to uncover a greater understanding of how depression is defined in a rural African-American faith community, and how that affects the experiences of the African-American male members. In other words, the main goal of this research was to get a clear understanding of the viewpoints and opinions about African-American males and depression within the faith community. According to the authors, this research is very important to the mental health field because many African-American males have the tendency to underreport depressive symptoms, and as a result are misdiagnosed or under diagnosed. This study brings awareness to the plight of the African-American male in the faith community and what approaches need to be done to effectively detect the depressive symptoms reported by the males. FIT AND SPECIFIC RATIONALE Notably, the authors of this study located prominent research from past mental health journals and publications that promoted the significance of their investigation. In particular, Kendrick et al. 2007; Bryant-Bedell and Waite 2010 noted that there is a lack of research out there regarding to the experiences of African-American males and depression. Given that, the authors also referred to Das et al. 2006 on the subject of the documented history of African-American males in the mental health community. From the article, Das et al. 2006 noted that there are many factors that need to be discussed to prevent the misdiagnosis or under diagnosis of African-American men nationwide. Providing that, the authors also mentioned research from Broman 1996 that connected the church to providing assistance to African-American men in need. Overall, this topic adds to the existing research literature that African-American men are not getting treated for depression due to many societal pressures. PARTICIPANTS Namely, 24 African-American faith community members were included in the study, and of the 24 participants 16 were men and 8 were women. Most of the participants were between the ages of 26 and 45 during the study. Also, most of the participants were married and had experience some college in their lifetime. The participants were recruited from a pastoral community located in Northeast Arkansas. And, the participants were divided into three groups, which consisted of pastors, African-American men with depressive symptoms and parishioners interested in mental health. CONTEXT Surely, all the data was collected from a rural community in Northeast Arkansas, because there is a large African-American population in that particular region. The principles of community-based participatory research were used to properly conduct this study. And, the important characteristics of this type research are to recruit participants using a university community partner that is affiliated with local businesses in the area. In this study the community partner was affiliated with the local church, and recruited participants through personal relationships within the community. As has been noted, the participants that were chosen for the study were placed into three cohorts. The cohorts consisted of a group of pastors, a group of African-American men with depressive symptoms, and a group of male and female parishioners. Specifically, each cohort had an inclusion criteria based on age, depressive symptoms and attendance to a predominantly African-American Christian church. STEPS IN SEQUENCE To put it briefly, focus groups were established in the study to gather all the necessary information. For example, the focus groups were used to discover the main issues and experiences of importance to the participants in each cohort. Also, the three focus groups were used to collect data related to the beliefs of the community members. The data was collected at various locations in the community, such as the church and the local restaurant. Providing that, the format of the data collection consisted of various questions based on the cohort, and a consistent approach to the process of the focus group. DATA Specifically, the data consisted of the cohort’s responses to the questions given by the lead researcher of the focus group. Each session the main researcher digitally audio-recorded the session and led the interviewing process. Therefore, after the first conducted focus group among each of the cohorts, the participants were allowed to discuss the initial results. Given that, at the conclusion of each session the lead researcher summarized what was discussed in the session using written field notes. And, the digital recordings were transcribed for data purposes. ANALYSIS To be sure, the authors stated that the study was designed to meet the guidelines of qualitative research, and their analysis was grounded in data. Particularly, the field notes and the other transcribed information were entered into a qualitative analysis software package called Ethnograph 6.0. The software was able to allow the researchers opportunity to compare the participants and the groups, and also mark blocks of important text with codes. Therefore, codes with definitions were developed from the field notes and transcriptions. The qualitative analysis software enhanced the total process of the coding and made all the information more substantial. RESULTS Notably, there were four significant themes from the data that were connected to African-American men and depression in a faith community. The themes include defining depression, the etiology of depression, denial of depression, and the effects of masculine roles on depressive experiences. The primary results indicated that most of the participants defined depression as being stuck or down, and reflected on financial problems as being a key factor of depression. Also, the participants reported that denial of depression is due to a lack of knowledge of depression and societal pressures of being weak and defenseless. Given that, the participants also spoke on the last theme, which reflected masculine roles and the expectations of men. Most of the men referenced their upbringing and their childhood environments that did not promote emotions and sensitivity. The male participants were raised to not show emotions and to keep their feelings inside. And, that type of behavior can lead to depression and other mental health issues. CONCLUSIONS In short, the authors stated that the participants described depression in terms of emotions, but did not use physical symptoms to analyze how they felt about being depressed. Also, the authors noticed that the participants did not use spiritual terms to define depression, such as a loss of faith. Providing that, the main causes of depression indicated by the participants were based on financial problems and family life challenges. The authors believe that there should be more future studies on this subject matter to examine how depression truly impacts the lives of African-American males. CAUTIONS The data was collected at just a cou
ple of churches in one rural community in Arkansas. And, the study only used one community partner to recruit all the participants. The authors note that there is some study limitations based on the location and the recruitment process, but their findings do mirror other studies related to depression in African-American community. DISCUSSION To tell the truth, I did learn a lot of valuable information from this study. The title of the article caught my attention, because I am an African-American male and I want to work with African-American males in my future practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I was aware that there is limited research out there related to depression and African-American males, so I decided to analyze this article. I liked the whole idea of studying the faith community and their thoughts on depression in the African-American community. The process of this study was well thought out and very structured, but I did not like the location of the research. I feel a different location would have made the study more prominent and significant to the mental health field. But, the overall research design was critical to the progression and the needs of African-American males in this society. The themes showcased the thoughts and feelings of the urban population that need interventions and coping strategies for future development. This research will be further developed and used for trainings and exercises on how to treat African-American males with depression.

Let’s also consider the issue of humanization and dehumanization – how did/does that play a role in our social views? Lastly, consider how we have treated Soldiers coming home from each of the three wars. What has this done to Soldiers as a group and to us as a society? How should we treat war today? Papers will be a minimum of 2 pages in length (not to exceed 4), with 1.5 spacing, 12-point font, 1 inch margins on all sides, and include a reference page (not included in the page count). Any and all information provided in your essay must be substantiated with facts; that means you need to cite your sources.
