What sorts of dualisms are present in the text (man/woman, straight/gay)? Does the text present identities that are alternative to the gendered or sexual norms?

In either case, how does the depiction complicate our understanding of gendered and sexual “norms.” Ethnic Literary Studies How does race appear in the text and how does it shape the way we interact with one another? What is the significance of depictions race in the text? How does the text reflect or undermine dominant cultural perceptions of race? How does the text depict a distinct ethnic identity?

You have made a useful start, but you need to do a fair bit more work.  In particular you have not yet found the right voice for the different documents.  Read half a dozen examples of each, then talk it over with a librarian, then write them again using the style actually used by these types of organisation.   Assume Moloch is an Australian university, as would be expected from the reference to La Trobe. So provide up to date information about risks to students in Australia.   You do need to delve into exactly what the proposed measures might involve. Be specific about these.  If the proposal is to target particular groups, say so, although it is more likely that some aspects of the policy will apply to all students.  What sort of geographical tracking, contact tracing, identification of ‘chatter’ etc would be undertaken? And what additional tracking will be done of those who are consider4ed particularly dangerous?   You don’t get the language right for the different people.  The department would not ‘write to relay their fears’, nor would it ‘realize’ something, you wouldn’t ‘consult’ skills, and you just drop in ‘social credit’ at the end without explaining it.   A reader would not be convinced that you have read widely on the social credit system and understand all the possibilities and nuances.   The VC would not welcome people warmly when he/she issues a statement about a policy.  If there was to be targeting it would be based on really carefully argued positions.   You don’t need to provide in-text references, apart from maybe the newspaper article, because the ones you have don’t ring true.  What matters is that your documents reveal a deep understanding of the issues, which they don’t at the moment.   You offer moral judgements in the newspaper article which are completely out of place in this form of writing.  Instead put things in the wider context – how widely are such proposals canvassed, what happens in countries like Singapore or Saudi Arabia, how reliable are the measures proposed etc.

Present an Aristotelian account of truthfulness as a virtue. Aristotle discusses truthfulness in NE IV.7 (pp. 76-77). In addition, you should also draw on what Aristotle says about virtue in general and about other virtues in particular. Cite specific passages in support of your account. The paper should address the question: Does behaving virtuously in regard to telling the truth depend on the possession of other virtues? The book and paper instructions are linked! You can do either one.. this one looked easiest
