A-plus Writer – LASA 2: Final Argument Paper

Using the information from the PowerPoint presentation you created in Module 3, write an Argument Paper that takes a position on the issue you selected. Be sure to include an explanation of the topic, possible viewpoints on the topic, your selected position on the topic, and appropriate evidence to support both your position and that of your possible opponents. Avoid the errors in reasoning that we have studied during the past five weeks by providing your argument in a logically defensible form.

  3. Identify and assess the type of evidence offered in support of the argument position. This will include identifying premises and conclusions.
  4. Analyze the evidence by explaining how the evidence logically supports or fails to support the argument’s conclusion, and critically evaluate the argument for any reasoning errors, accurately align the argument with the selected topic, and describe the source of the argument.
  5. Next, identify and explain one counter argument (pro or con) related to the chosen issue and related to the first argument; either summarize an existing argument or construct an original one.
  6. Identify and assess the type of evidence offered in support of the argument position. This will include identifying premises and conclusions.
  7. Analyze the evidence by explaining how the evidence logically supports or fails to support the argument’s conclusion, and critically evaluate the argument for any reasoning errors, accurately align the argument with the selected topic, and describe the source of the argument.
  8. Critically assess which of the two arguments is superior; defend the judgment by explaining how and why. Explain the value of critical-thinking analysis in reaching this final conclusion.
  9. Apply current APA standards for editorial style, expression of ideas, and format of text, citations, and references. Professionally present the position using good grammar, spelling, and punctua

How do these shows or events present each component?

Law

APA STYLE FORMAT

3-4 pages

 

Crime and justice are subjects that are frequently presented on television. Primetime television shows, soap operas, music videos, and cartoons often portray images of crime and criminal justice in a sensational manner or one of negativity. The pictures of police brutality and mistrust of law officials is prevalent because of the reality of cases that exist, especially in an era where information can be dispersed quickly and immediately via technology.

For this assignment, please list and discuss at least 6 television shows that you have seen that depict the police, courts, and correctional components of the criminal justice system (2 television shows for each component: law enforcement, judiciary, and corrections; for a total of 6 shows). If you prefer, you can use movies, radio, print media, or any combination of them, but there must be 2 examples that you must use to depict each of the 3 components of the criminal justice system for a total of 6 illustrations.

You must provide academic or real-life criminal justice samples to support and enhance your answers for each question. You must also cite sources in APA style, including a References page.

  • How do these shows or events present each component?
  • Are the images positive or negative concerning criminal justice professionals? Why?
  • What stages of the criminal justice process are depicted in these programs? Why do you think the focus is on these stages?
  • Do you think these images are fair representations of criminal justice? Why or why not? Are the shows realistic with current-day criminal justice activities? Why or why not?

Be sure to reference all sources using APA style. Students should be able to distinguish and recognize the concepts of justice and crime. It is important that students understand facts and perceptions concerning criminal justice systems. Students must support and provide examples and justifications in answering the questions through academic or real-life criminal justice findings focused on criminal justice subjects.
