Essay Topic/quesiton:
(1000 words): In his 1993 book “International Peacekeeping” (John Hopkins University), scholar Paul Diehl proposed two criteria to measure the success of a peacekeeping operation:
(1) does the peacekeeping operation limit armed conflict?; and
(2) does the peacekeeping operation promote conflict resolution?

Please select one (1) case study of a contemporary peacekeeping operation and critically discuss whether the peacekeeping operation was effective using Diehl’s two measures of success.

Instructions:
Essay should demonstrate critical examination of a subject or argument. This is done by recapping or summarising the major themes (or points in question), and critically discussing them while giving your opinion.

This means offering your evidence-based opinion on the validity of the selected themes. You’ll need to give an overview of the literature and any major arguments or issues that arose from it. You then need to comment logically and analytically on this material. What do you agree or disagree with? What have other scholars said about the subject? Are there any views 5 that contrast with yours? What evidence are you using to support your assessment? Don’t forget to state your position clearly.

Essays should not be purely descriiptive. It must demonstrate a level of analytical skill. The aim is not simply to regurgitate the facts and the works of other scholars, but rather to critically analyse the issues.

The essay should have:

1. An introduction section that provides a brief background to the topic, a clear statement of the aim you wish to achieve (often expressed as a thesis), and an indication of the scope of the essay;
2. A main body of writing with headings, where appropriate, to introduce the presentation in a logical sequence of facts and arguments in support of your aim; and
3. A conclusion which answers the question “so what?” regarding the facts and arguments you have presented, links them clearly with the stated aim of the research, and may contain recommendations if that was part of the aim. Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions about the essay writing process and subject.

All written work must be submitted in A4 Portrait format typed in Times New Roman or Arial Font, Size 12, with double or 1½- line spacing.

Research papers consist of an introduction, background research, interview, and conclusion on a topic involving a notable figure in the history of jazz (Ella Fitzgerald).  The topic should be on an issue which had an impact on the society and culture of the time and place of this individual, and which continues to have relevance in the present day.  A quality research paper must also have a thesis (organizing argument) stating a proposition which will then be evaluated via the interview.  The paper should begin with an introduction describing the topic, why you chose it, and stating your specific thesis.  The middle of the paper will consist of background research on the music and culture pertaining to your chosen individual, and your (optional) interview.  The interview, should you choose to do one, should not be in a question and answer format but should rather be framed by your commentary, criticism, and analysis.  The paper should end with a conclusion that revisits the original thesis, highlights what you learned through your research about the connection between your subject and your topic, and how the experience has impacted or altered your views about jazz, culture, and the world around you. 

You must include a bibliography, showing that you used a variety of resources with at least 4 articles, books, and/or encyclopedias.  You may also find articles from jazz publications or other news publications online, but please avoid websites such as Wikipedia or any website that does not cite its sources or provide credentials to show that its authors are experts in their subject.

• Title Page
• Introduction
• Background
• Interview
• Conclusion
• Works Cited

In your paper please italicize your own thoughts, words, and opinions throughout.  The conclusion should be mostly in your own words (italicized), and it should revisit the original thesis, highlight what you learned as a result of your research and interview, and describe in detail how the experience has affected your opinions or views of jazz and how it relates to the world around you.

This research paper should be 2,500 words minimum (not counting the bibliography), double spaced, in a common 12-point font.  Try to include musical examples to illustrate your points.  In addition to turning in installments before their due dates, extra credit will also be given for providing links to musical examples and a list of the examples you listened to in the course of your research (up to 5% of your grade).  Any discoveries of plagiarism will result in a failing grade for the paper.

Creon uses many metaphors to describe how the citizens of a country must obey the leader of the country and the laws of that country. What are Creon’s ideas about a good leader of a country? How do his ideas of what “good leadership” is square with YOUR ideas of what makes a good leader? To what degree, in your judgment, is Creon a good leader or a poor leader?

A note about citing quotations and paraphrases: When you use a quotation or paraphrase from a source (including when the source is a piece of literature), you will need to cite the source. Antigone is a play, but it is given in the form of a poem, so cite Antigone same way you would a poem, by line number rather than page number. In your second citation, you may omit the words “line” or “lines.” Remember also to put a forward slash between the lines of a poem when you quote them. Below is an example.

Ismene knows the punishment for Antigone’s crime will be death, and she attempts to dissuade Antigone from burying their brother’s body. Ismene says, however, that she will keep quite and tell no one of Antigone’s actions. Antigone, on the other hand, screams at her sister about her act of burying their brother: “Shout it from the rooftops. I’ll hate you / all the more for silence–tell the world” (100-101). Antigone knows that a deed done and unreported is not what is needed, at least not in this situation. She wants all people in her country to know that she has disobeyed the law of the state in deference to her own moral conscience. /////
* Remember to have a debatable thesis statement. That is, your thesis statement (the last sentence of your first paragraph is a good place for your thesis statement) should take a stance that is not obvious and with which other readers might conceivably disagree.

*In your essay, please do not retell the story, summarize the events, or tell what happens in the poem or story or play. Know that your audience has already read the story or poem or play and knows what it says literally. ////
First, you want to avoid the following:

Fancy fonts (Pick something plain)

Colored print

Artwork

Freakishly large or small font sizes (12 point is nice)

Your entire essay should be double-spaced. The standard is 1-inch margins on the right, left, top, and bottom. (Many Microsoft Word machines are set to 1.25 inches on the right and left, and 1.25 is fine. No professor is going to take out a ruler unless the margins look especially bizarre.)

In the upper left hand corner, you’ll put your name on the first line. On the next line, you’ll put your professor’s name (spelled correctly! Most professors really don’t like to see their own names spelled wrong.) On the next line, put the course and section number ( ENGL 2310 L01–or whatever your section number is). On the fourth line, put the date you turn the assignment in. If you’re turning your assignment in late or early, don’t put the due date, but the date that you actually turn it in.

The heading information I’ve given you so far is accepted, MLA style. I, however, like students to put a fifth line in their header information: that is, I like a tag line. In the tag line, you tell what the assignment is. For your first essay, you’ll put Essay 1 on the fifth header line.

Next, you’ll need a title. Continue double-spacing. You don’t need any extra spaces, just regular double spacing. Center your title, capitalizing the first letter of every word except for prepositions, definite articles, and indefinite articles. Remember, your title is your title, not the title of the literary work you’re writing about. You do not need quotation marks around your title, nor do you need to underline it. If you use a title and a subtitle, you want to separate the two with a colon.

Here is an example of how your title might look:

Gilgamesh’s Ishtar:

She’s Not the Girl Next Door

Notice that I have used italics for the word Gilgamesh because Gilgamesh is the title of the work I’m writing about. If I were to use Gilgamesh as the character’s name rather than as the title, I would neither underline nor use quotation marks. (Note: I have used italics for “Gilgamesh” rather than underlined it. Italics is an acceptable substitution for underlining. The title should be centered in the middle of the page, too.

After your title, begin writing your essay. Continue double-spacing, without any extra spaces between your title and the beginning of your essay. Use a one tab paragraph indentation to show the beginning of a new paragraph. Do not use any extra spaces between paragraphs.

Page numbers are also helpful and should go in the upper right hand corner. The MLA Handbook suggests putting your last name before the page number on each page, including the first. Most professors will not be extremely concerned about the last name before each page number, but if you’re clever enough with Microsoft Word to get it to happen, go for it.

Do not justify right margins.

I hope this takes care of format issues. Again, you want YOUR paper to create a good first impression, and most professors are much more impressed with clean, unadorned, neat-looking papers than with a lot of fancy fonts, bells, and whistles.
