The world around us is full of issues that spark debate–from what to do about climate
change to who we should elect for president. For this essay, you’ll get familiar with a
controversial issue by reading two essays from a CQ Researcher report. Those essays
will serve as a starting point for your own essay by giving you two different perspectives
on the controversial issue. After reading those essays, you'll craft a policy claim
argument of your own on the same topic; the argument will be informed by your
opinion and supported by additional research.

Your essay must be at least 1000 words in length, although it can be longer (a
maximum of 2000 words :-). The essay must have an introduction that gets readers
interested, provides context on your topic through brief summaries of the two opposing
essays from CQ Researcher that gave you some perspective on the topic question, and
ends with a thesis statement that states your position (a policy claim) in response to
your topic question and suggests at least two supporting points you’ll argue for your
policy claim and at least one opposing view you’ll address through concession and/or
refutation. Body paragraphs should follow the order of ideas in your thesis and should
include quotations from your sources which will be introduced, cited using MLA format,
and explained (ICE). Your conclusion should summarize your main points, restate your
thesis in different words and/or phrasing, and give some sense of the significance of
your argument, its future implications, and any recommended course of action you want
readers to take. Your essay should be written in an authentic voice. Since this essay is
a research paper, you will need to use at least 3 credible sources (in addition to the two
CQ Researcher essays that you'll summarize in your introduction) to support your ideas
and observations in body paragraphs. Sources may be texts or videos and can range
from reputable news sources and industry reports to academic articles and books;
sources should be current and reliable. All sources must be appropriately cited in your
paper using MLA format. Your sources will also be listed in a Works Cited page.

Plastic waste is everywhere. Researchers have discovered plastic particles
throughout the world's oceans and atop Mount Everest. Today, the world is
producing 353 million metric tons of plastic waste annually — twice as much as it

did two decades ago. Plastic waste is known to harm the environment, wildlife
and human health. Currently, less than 10 percent of all plastics manufactured
around the world is recycled. Industry officials have acknowledged the need to
improve recycling rates and infrastructure, and new approaches and
technologies are being developed in response. However, critics say the industry
is not doing enough and needs to be held more responsible for the plastics they
produce. Several local, national and international entities, including the United
Nations, are acting to curb plastic pollution by passing or considering laws that
could ban certain plastics, increase regulations and add fees. Meanwhile, experts
say the production of plastic is expected to double by 2040.

Should single-use plastics be banned?

“Pro” by John Hocevar, Oceans Campaign Director, Greenpeace USA
Written for CQ Researcher, June 2022

Plastic comes at a cost that people and our planet simply cannot afford. The
trillions of plastic throwaway items produced each year continue to accumulate.
They break down into microplastics that are in the water we drink, the food we
eat, the air we breathe and even our blood and lungs. Furthermore, plastic is
made from fossil fuels, and the industry's plan to triple its production within the
next few years is driving new oil and gas extraction and pushing our planet closer
to climate chaos.

Despite the plastic industry's long and well-funded efforts to persuade Americans
that recycling is the answer, recycling is not an option for most types of plastic.
In fact, less than 6 percent of the more than 40 million tons of plastic waste
America produces each year is recycled. The rest is dumped, burned or
discarded. Unlike paper, glass or aluminum, which can be repeatedly recycled,
the rare plastic items that are recycled are typically downcycled, or reused at a
lower quality, only once before being landfilled or incinerated.

From its production to its incineration, single-use plastic is a threat to our health,
our communities and our climate. Communities of color bear the disproportionate
health impacts of the toxic carcinogenic chemicals released during these
processes from facilities that are overwhelmingly located in their neighborhoods.

Bottom line: We can't recycle our way out of this crisis. Bans, phaseouts and
reduction targets are a fundamental part of any real solution — and they're
realistic. Bans are already being successfully implemented in communities all
around the world, starting with straws and bags and now moving to cutlery,
takeout containers and particularly dangerous materials such as polystyrene and
polyvinyl chloride.

Congress has an important role to play. It must create incentives, build
infrastructure and assist businesses and workers in transitioning away from
plastic. This year, the United Nations will begin discussing measures to limit
plastic production via a new global plastics treaty, to be adopted as early as 2024.
To properly address the substantial plastic and climate change crises we are
facing, governments such as the United States must set bold and ambitious
targets to reduce plastic production. And to ensure that we don't simply replace
single-use plastic with other types of throwaway packaging, we need to invest in
reuse, refill and package-free approaches.

We cannot continue to flood our planet and communities with plastic, and we
cannot stop the flood unless we stop producing so much throwaway plastic.

“Con” by Joshua Baca, Vice President of Plastics, American Chemistry Council
Written for CQ Researcher, June 2022

For every action, there is a reaction. Banning “single-use” plastics will not stop
people from using food packaging, bags, cups or cutlery; it will result in a switch
to a different material, likely paper, metal or glass. Such a switch is expected to
cause three outcomes: a greater environmental footprint, increased costs for
businesses and consumers and worse performance of the product's function.

Research shows that alternative packaging materials result in, on average, 2.5
times more greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over their lifecycles compared to
plastics. They also usually weigh more, adding to transportation emissions, and
require more material to perform the same function. And that just speaks to the
material itself.

Use of plastics can also help avoid GHG emissions, particularly when it comes to
reducing food waste by keeping food fresh longer and protecting food from
physical destruction (e.g., berries in a clamshell). If GHG emissions from food
waste were ranked against countries' emissions, they would be the third-largest
emitter, behind China and the United States. Reducing food waste is a critical
step toward a lower carbon future, and plastics are needed to help us get there.

Now more than ever, plastics are valued for affordability, especially for
“single-use” applications and packaging. A recent polystyrene ban in Hawaii had
small-business restaurant owners lamenting that the paper alternatives cost
seven times more than the polystyrene packaging. Single-use plastic bans hurt
the smallest of businesses, families and those least able to afford it.

Sometimes plastics are just the best material for the job. Many consumers value
the performance of plastic products compared to things like a paper straw that
begins dissolving the moment it hits liquid, and nobody wants to buy their raw
meat or seafood in a soaked paper package. If another material can't do its job,
more waste, emissions and frustration are the result.

America's plastic makers have a plan to reuse and remake much more plastic. We
believe that soon the term “single use” will be a relic of the past, as more
advanced recycling comes online. Advanced recycling leverages innovative
technologies to take mixed-used plastics that mechanical recycling can't recycle
and make it into new plastics, even plastics approved for food and medical use.
Plastic bags, cups, cutlery and food packaging can be remade again and again
via advanced recycling, and they will no longer be single use, but part of a
circular economy and lower carbon future.

Even though certain non-verbal signals have been associated with courtship and romantic flirtation, we also know that similar behaviors occur when people are trying to communicate friendliness, interest, and playfulness. These quasi-courtship behaviors can lead to misunderstandings, and they remind us how important context is for interpreting nonverbal signals. The cluster of nonverbal behavior comprising immediacy or liking behavior can be usefully applied to a variety of situations in which one wants to signal positive responses to strangers and acquaintances. Immediacy occurs in established close relationships, too, but mainly when it is important to be clear about one’s feelings, when the relationship is threatened, or when a couple wants to communicate their closeness to outsiders. Otherwise, people in close relationships employ a more unique and varied nonverbal repertoire.

Reminder—Late assignments are not accepted

**Purpose:** To provide students with an opportunity to explore and analyze Chaucer’s masterful creation and development of his character, the Wife of Bath.

**Assignment:** In the
_Canterbury Tales_, Geoffrey Chaucer fashions a number of interesting characters. One of the most detailed and multilayered creations is the Wife of Bath. Select one of the following topics and write an essay that analyzes the ideas presented in the prompt regarding the appropriate work (either the “Wife of Bath’s Tale” or “The Wife of Bath’s Prologue”).

1—In “The Wife of Bath’s Prologue,” the Wife explains her perspectives on marriage. Write an essay in which you do the following:

\* First, Read lines 818-28 of the “Wife of Bath’s Prologue” and note how she clearly conveys her main ideas regarding marriage. In your essay begin by identifying the Wife’s ideas and her major theme about marriage.

\* Second, analyze the development of this theme throughout the prologue. Be sure to give specific examples of how the Wife weaves this theme into her narrative.

\* Third, determine why the Wife of Bath might be so fixed in her views about women and marriage.

2—The “Wife of Bath’s Tale” presents several elements that contradict the knight’s code of chivalry. Write an essay that does the following:

\* First, identify and explain one element of the chivalric code that is evident in the “Wife of Bath’s Tale.”

\* Second, explain how this element of the chivalric code is broken in her “Tale.”

\* Third, analyze how breaking this code and then resolving this violation are essential to conveying the Wife of Bath’s main idea about marriage that she presents in her Prologue.

**Development tips**: Be sure that the essay does not simply summarize the ideas, but that the analysis provides well thought out ideas and looks closely into the work. Notice things that a casual reader would not. Use specific examples from the text to support assertions and reasoning. A successful literary analysis will use passages and descriptions from the prologue or the tale to show, to strengthen, and to extend the development of ideas.

**Research:** The purpose of the assignment is to think through Chaucer’s use of strategies and ideas evident in medieval literature.
**Do not use any research beyond course materials for this assignment**. Use only the literary text from our course textbook (
_The Norton Anthology of World Literature_, 5th ed., vol. B), this assignment sheet, any relevant eCampus course PowerPoints or handouts, and
**your ideas**. Essays that reveal the use of research will not be graded and will have a zero/0 placed in the Grade Center.

**Use of AI for this assignment:**

You may use a generative AI tool (
_ChatGPT_,
_Claude_,
_Bing_,
_Co-Pilot_) in the following steps that indicate AI use is appropriate. Use a free online tool; there is no need to purchase AI access for this course or this assignment.

Please note that while AI can be a valuable tool for sparking ideas and facilitating deeper exploration of the text,
**any use of generative AI is meant to supplement your own thinking** **and analysis**, not to replace it. AI can provide helpful insights, suggestions, and perspectives, but you must engage critically with the AI generated content and integrate it into your analysis only after you have considered its relevance, accuracy, and alignment with your own interpretations and understanding of the text.

**Steps for this essay:**

1—Preliminary Invention: After selecting the option you would like to follow, make a list of the qualities or elements of the particular focus you have chosen. For example, if you are focusing on the ways that the Wife of Bath refers to marriage, then make a list of instances in the “Prologue” that demonstrate this. You may use AI if you are having difficulty identifying these instances, so
**AI will be fine to use as an invention tool with this step**.

2—Drafting: From your list from step 1, select two or three that you feel comfortable discussing in the essay. If you need assistance in clarifying or refining your focus on these elements,
**you may prompt an AI tool to help you with sharpening your ideas**. Use these ideas to begin putting together your analysis.

3—Arrangement: Be sure to organize your analysis using the Writing the Literary Analysis handout. (
**Do not use AI for this step**.)

5—Incorporating Quotations: These are essential for support of your assertions in the analysis. If you are having difficulty selecting a quotation to support a specific point of your analysis, you may insert a passage from the piece of literature into your AI tool and ask for help in singling out and inserting an appropriate quotation. However,
**be careful because AI may not represent the quotation accurately.** Also, AI does not use quotation marks, so you MUST correct this error.

6—Editing: Edit and revise the final version of your essay. You may use AI for checking spelling and identifying basic grammar errors in your writing.
**Do not have AI rewrite your sentences though**. Your syntax (sentence construction) should reflect your own voice and your own patterns of thinking. Be sure that no more than 15% of your final version consists of AI-generated text. If you include AI text in your essay, you MUST highlight any text generated by an AI tool.

**Documentation and Citations:** Use MLA to create a Works Cited page in which you document the piece of literature you are using (Prologue or Tale), the textbook author headnote (if you use it), and any AI tool you use in preparing the essay.

Document the AI tool you have used in the Works Cited list, and include a citation next to the passages in which AI texts are used.

Include the following elements when documenting the AI tool in your Works Cited:

“Prompt used.”
_AI Tool Used_, version used, date of use, URL

Example:

“What are three elements of courtly love evident in Marie de France's ‘Lauistic’?” OpenAI.
_ChatGPT_, 9 Jan. 2025, chat.openai.com.

To cite this source in your essay, write this: (“What are three elements”).

**Knowledge Gained from This Assignment:**

· Identification of key elements frequently evident in medieval literature

· Immersion into and interpretation of literature that explores the cultural and social practices of medieval period.

· Practice using a documentation style and providing attribution to the sources used in your writing.

· Development of responsible and ethical use of AI tools in a learning setting.

**IDENTIFICATION:** The patient is a 19-year-old, single, white female college freshman living on campus referred by her college counselor for evaluation and treatment of depression. Additional information about the patient’s history was obtained from the patient’s mother via phone with the patient’s consent.

**CHIEF COMPLAINT:**“I’m not sure how to handle things.”

**HISTORY OF CHIEF COMPLAINT:** The patient reports feeling depressed and anxious. She said she started feeling this way in high school. She hears a voice in the back of her head, which is “getting nasty.” The voice tells her to “give up on life.” She says the voice is triggered by stress. The patient reports low self-worth. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was administered and her score was 25 which indicates “moderately depressed.”

**PAST PSYCHIATRIC HISTORY:** The patient reported that she was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome as a child. She states, “I have a weird time expressing my emotions.” Had remedial classes in elementary and middle school. She thought the voices started in elementary school, but she did not report them. Was on lisdexamfetamine in middle school. She reports social isolation, stating, “I didn’t hang out with anyone.” Reports a suicide attempt by trying to hang herself at age 13, but never told anyone. During high school, she saw a counselor after she told her parents she wanted to kill herself. Her pediatrician started her on fluoxetine to treat depression, but she stopped it after 2 months because it increased the voices. She continued to feel depressed and anxious. No further suicide attempts, but continued to have mood-congruent voices that spoke to her in a derogatory manner and would tell her to kill herself. The voices became worse with stress. She identified a history of past obsessions with fear that she might harm herself, violent and horrific images, excessive concerns about contamination with animal contact, somatic obsessions with her appearance, checking that nothing terrible did or will happen, checking that she did not make mistakes, obsessions with the need to know or remember, fear of losing things, and lucky/unlucky numbers. No psychiatric hospitalizations.

**MEDICAL HISTORY:** Reports fatigue, however, all recent labs for routine screening were negative. History of mononucleosis in high school. No operations or chronic medical conditions.

**HISTORY OF DRUG OR ALCOHOL ABUSE:** Denied.

The parents called county children’s services to evaluate her at 32 months and she was screened for developmental disorders. She was diagnosed at 34 months with autism, moderate. Received Applied Behavioral Analysis full-day treatment. Attended a private specialized school from age 3 to 5, which the mother thought was excellent. Went to full-day kindergarten where she was assigned her own behavioral assistant. Unfortunately, the next year she did not have an assistant in the classroom. After the mother obtained legal representation, the school provided an Individualized Education Program and the patient received excellent behavioral and educational support. Patient had difficulty developing peer relationships. Patient states she “didn’t fit in.” Sat at the boys table at lunch because they played video games and she could relate to that. Everyone thought she was “weird.” Was bullied. Older brother tried to protect her.

**Adolescence:** In middle school, she received partial supportive services in the classroom. Then in high school she was partially mainstreamed into regular education. She maintained a good academic record with a grade point average of 2.9 throughout high school.

**Adulthood:** Counselor in high school recommended attending a small college. Enrolled as a freshman and she is currently living in a dorm with a roommate. Has one friend at college.
