Discussion surrounding anxiety in higher education

ICSM 10800-04 / Fall 2020 S.A. Delaney
Unit 2: What Do We Mean When We Talk About Anxiety? upd. 10/6
According to a national survey published in February 2019 by the Pew Research Center, anxiety and depression rank as one of the top concerns for US teenagers. Numerous reportsincluding this one from Pewassert that anxiety was on the rise among college students prior to the pandemic, and we know that our current situation has only exacerbated this state. But what do we mean by anxiety? What feelings and experiences are encompassed by this term? What does it mean to identify as a person with anxiety? Well draw on ideas from disability studies and intersectionality in our conversations. The Unit will conclude with a formal analytical argument of 1200-1500 words worth 20 percent of the overall course grade.
What Do You Mean By A Formal Analytical Argument?
We often use the word argument to mean the exchange of strong opinions, and when writing for school, it generally refers to a persuasive essayone that has a clear thesis statement and relevant supporting evidence. In Unit 1, I pushed you to step away from that thesis-support (e.g., five-paragraph essay) style of writing in order to more fully explore and explain your thinking. The analytical argument Im asking you to write for Unit 2 will combine these modes to create a richer, more complex essay.
What Do You Mean By Analysis?
In their textbook Writing Analytically David Rosenwasser and Jill Stephen offer this four-part definition of analysis, which is worth quoting at length:
1. Analysis seeks to discover what something means. An analytical argument makes claims for how something might be best understood and in what context.
2. Analysis deliberately delays evaluation and judgment.
3. Analysis begins in and values uncertainty rather than starting from settled convictions.
4. Analytical arguments are usually pluralistic; they tend to try on more than one way of thinking about
how something might be best understood. (Rosenwasser and Stephen 6-7)
Analysis, then, starts with inquiry: questions followed by careful observation. To delay evaluation and judgment requires that we acknowledge and bracket our gut reactionswe must stay with the problem longer, seeing it from every possible perspective, considering what may seem counterintuitive. Only then can we arrive at a reasoned, thoughtful conclusion.
Whos Our Audience For This Essay?
Beyond the obvious answerme, your professoryour imagined audience for this essay is the journal Inquiries, which describes itself as an open-access academic journal that highlights the work of students at the undergraduate level and above. Consider this assignment an opportunity to prepare a scholarly essay for possible submission to this journal. As part of our activities, well look more closely at the journals website and its expectations.
What Kind Of Research Will We Have To Do?
Your analysis will focus on one specific conversation about anxiety. That conversation may have taken place in a more traditional magazine or newspaper, on social media, on a cable news show, or elsewhere. It needs to be a conversation that you can capture and study in detail. As with your first essay, you may find it necessary to narrow your focus to make your analysis more manageable.
How Should I Cite My Sources?
Youll need to use formal MLA citation style for this essay. That means that in addition to including all sources on the Works Cited, you need to fully and formally introduce all of your sources, as weve been practicing. Any and all ideas and details should be directly attributed to the appropriate source (According to political reporter Joe Blow of the New York Times…). In addition, youll want to provide parenthetical in-text citations (or PITCs) as needed.

final project

Final Project Instructions

For your final project, you will choose the side of the defense attorney or the prosecuting attorney. You can only choose one side. With your role in mind, read the fact pattern and then read the instructions below.
Facts:
A murder was committed in a small town and John B. Bad is the main suspect. After visiting the scene where the victim’s body was found, the police find a library card for John B. Bad nearby. The victim’s body was found in a wooded area with a lot of mud and vegetation around. The police go to John B. Bad’s house and knock on the door.  The police ask John B. Bad if he has a moment to talk about the murder that occurred.  John B. Bad invites the police in to the living room area. While in the living room, one of the detectives sees shoes on the ground that have mud on the soles. The detective takes the shoes as evidence and John B. Bad is asked to come to the station for questioning. John B. Bad agrees to come to the station and drives in his own vehicle. When he arrives at the police station, he is not handcuffed and is asked if he would talk to investigators in an interview room. John B. Bad agrees and he is led to an interview room. Again, he is not restrained in the interview room, but there are three detectives in the room and one of them is sitting in a chair blocking the door to go out of the room. John B. Bad is not read his Miranda rights, but the investigators begin to question him about his relationship with the deceased victim. John B. Bad denies having any relationship and says that he was at home alone during the time of the murder. While in the interview, a witness comes forward and says that they saw a person running away from the wooded area earlier in the day. The witness is asked if they would view a photo lineup and they agree. A detective who is not involved in the case shows the lineup to the witness. In the lineup are 6 individuals, with one of the 6 being John B. Bad. Five of the filler photos are of people who are similar in features and age, but John B. Bad’s photo shows him as quite older and having solid gray hair. The other people in the lineup are young, with not a single gray hair visible. The witness views the lineup but is hesitant to make an identification. The detective showing the lineup, who is sitting across from the witness, says to just make your best guess. After viewing the lineup a bit more, the witness circles John B. Bad’s photo and signs and dates the lineup. Shortly after, John B. Bad is arrested and charged with the murder of the victim.

Instructions for Your Paper:
1.    Pick a side. You are either acting as the defense attorney for John B. Bad or you are acting as the prosecuting attorney.
A.    DEFENSE ATTORNEY: If you are acting as the defense attorney, write at least two pages on issues in the fact pattern that you could argue in a motion to suppress to have the evidence SUPPRESSED/MADE INADMISSIBLE. Make sure you address each issue you see that you think can be suppressed. If you need more info on one issue, then talk about what information would be necessary to know in order to make your argument that the item or evidence should be suppressed. You must support your argument with case law or a statute or a constitutional amendment(s). You can use cases we learned within the course or (if familiar with WestLaw) you may find other case law. Make sure you cite any case/statute/amendment with the proper citation so I can check it!
B.    PROSECUTING ATTORNEY: If you are acting as the prosecuting attorney, write at least two pages on issues in the fact pattern that you could argue SHOULD NOT be suppressed. Make sure that you address each issue you see and argue why it should not be suppressed. If you need to add more information (or assume more information) to make your argument, then you can do so. You must support your argument with case law/statutes/constitutional amendment(s). You can use cases we learned within the course or (if familiar with WestLaw) you may find other case law. Make sure you cite any.

Proposition 13

Research Proposition 13 and public education funding in California by reading about it in your textbook and on the Internet. Analyze and evaluate the issue and write a one-page paper. Answer and follow the FOUR STEPS when writing the paper. The instructions and the 4 major steps are uploaded. Please make sure to follow and answer all the questions in the paper.

Civil Liberties Case Studies

Purpose: Civil liberties are natural rights and freedoms of individuals that cannot be taken away by constitution, law or judicial interpretation without due process; that is, when restricting individuals freedoms for the sake of maintaining order in society, members of government must follow pre-established procedures that have been consented to by the governed.  In this assignment, you will investigate the legal (i.e., Constitutional) situations in which peoples freedom is protected and the circumstances under which government may take action.

CASE STUDY (my topic): The College Student

1.  Read the Simulation Activity: You are a Police OfficerPreview the document. Also found in Unit 4 in Modules here.

While going through the simulation, pay particular attention to the case you were assigned.  To complete this assignment, you must be able to describe the circumstances of the case, identify the legal response to the case, and explain why it is the legal response.
2.  Review the U.S. Constitution and Chapter 4 in American Democracy Now (ADN), focusing on the specific amendments and chapter sections relevant to your assigned case.  You will be required to correctly use specific key terms of the case you have been assigned during the class discussion (see the specific questions below).
3.  Conduct research about previous U.S. Supreme Court cases related to your assigned case (see the specific questions below) by using the following site:

OYEZ: U.S.Supreme Court Multimedia (https://www.oyez.org/ (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.))
At this website, use the search feature in the top right corner to find abstracts for the relevant court cases listed for your assigned case.
Abstracts for each case will include the facts of the case, the question(s) presented to the U.S. Supreme Court and a summary of the Courts decision.

Type your responses to the questions for your assigned case study.  Be prepared to discuss your answers.
NOTE:  It is important to accurately understand key terms, make specific references to the U.S. Constitution and U.S. Supreme Court cases, and to be specific in explaining the logic of the rulings and your conclusions.

For Question #2, be sure to incorporate the following bold terminologies and U.S. Supreme Court cases in your answer for full credit to explain why you arrested or did not arrest in your assigned group above.

The College Student (questions to be answered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
-A comparison of the standards of probable cause versus reasonable suspicion
-Examples of situations in which the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that a warrant-less search may be legal
-References to the facts and rulings in each of following cases:

-Bond v. U.S. (2000)
-Georgia v. Randolph (2006)
-Arizona v. Johnson (2009)

After completing the above directions, similar to the research briefs you have completed, you will use the text box below to answer the three questions. Number your answers from 1 to 3 then type your answers for each question.  Please remember to maintain academic standard of writing and paraphrase your answers. Do not simply cut and paste your answers from the websites. Write your answers with clarity in paragraph form with complete sentences.

1. What is the legal response for your assigned case study based on the Simulation Activity: “You Are a Police Officer” you read above? Only indicate “Arrest” or “Dont arrest” for your answer. (10 points)
2. Why? Write a legal brief (3 to 4 paragraphs) that explains why you arrested or did not arrest. NOTE: Be sure to define all the bolded terms as well reference all the U.S. Supreme Court cases included in your case study.  Failure to include them will result in point deductions. (30 points)
3. Based on your study, do you agree with the Supreme Court’s decisions or established precedent(s)?  Why or why not?  Be sure to explain your justification/rationale clearly. (1 to 2 paragraphs) (20 points)
