For my application for the Ph.D. program in clinical psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara I need a writing sample. It should be a research paper in APA style. There are no specific requirements for the application description. I want to write about eating disorders in endurance sports especially by women. I am working full time at the moment so I definitely need help with that. Can you do that?

In approximately 500 words, describe your area of interest (e.g. advanced clinical practice, administration, education, etc.), a potential clinical problem that you plan to focus on as your identified topic in the DNP program, why you are interested in this clinical problem, why it is relevant for the current society, why it potentially warrants evidenced-based practice change, how it is relevant to the role of the DNP-prepared nurse and the implementation of evidence-based practice. The topic/ problem you address in the essay is subject to faculty review and approval once enrolled in the DNP program

Final Essay 39A Seward—“What makes an audience change their mind?”   Your task in this essay is to develop, present, and defend a well-crafted, complex theory[1] that answers your own narrow version of the course question above, using specific evidence from the course readings/chosen texts, your own work, and “real world” examples for support.   The focus, context[2], evidence, and argument of this essay will be entirely up to you[3], with the exception of a few rules. These are below:   You may not answer the above question directly (it’s too broad for this anyway); in fact, it’s vital for this assignment that you to translate the question into your own words. This will require establishing a narrow context and narrow, specific definitions of your key terms. Specifically, you are encouraged to define “people” (who are they specifically? Where are they? etc.), “change” (what is it specifically? where is it? How does it happen?) and the process of “making people changing their mind” (for the purposes of your argument, what does this mean specifically? Why does it matter?)   Your essay must make an argument about rhetoric, language, and words. Beyond this, the specifics of the focus, context, and argument are up to you. My advice: argue about people changing their mind via rhetoric/language/words in a specifically defined context (for example, as listeners to political speech in 2019 America—still a bit too broad, but on its way)   You must use at least two texts for support. You are welcome to use course readings or outside texts. For our purposes, a text is an example of art/rhetoric that is language-based. If you’re not sure if something you’d like to use is a text, come see me. You are encouraged to use diverse evidence beyond this (it will be hard to make a clear argument without more) and are also encouraged to use “real world” examples: political speech, art that uses writing to persuade (TV, advertisements, op-eds, etc.), writing from outside of the course—the list of possibilities goes on. If you’re not sure   Your essay should be in MLA format; all outside sources (including course readings) should be cited accordingly.   Your essay should be at least 5 pages long in the final version (there is no max page limit)     [1] We’ll discuss this more in the coming weeks, but for the purposes of this essay think of your theory as a claim about how a specific rhetorical process works and why it matters.   [2] Context will continue to be significant in 39B/39C and matters greatly here. For the purposes of our course, we’ll define context using the Google Dictionary definition: “the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood and assessed.” As you can see, defining the context in as much detail as possible will be key for developing your theory and argument for this assignment.    [3] You are encouraged to apply any and all techniques from the Three Imitations or the “Consider the _____” Imitation in this assignment. We will also look at model essays in the coming weeks that present and defend narrow theories and use many of the techniques we’ve focused in the last six or so weeks: the use of detail to persuade and control/shift audience perspective; detail to convey emotion; the mixture of personal detail/evidence and more “academic” evidence; strong voice; direct address of audience; use of questions to convey significance; diverse use of evidence; etc. If you’re into a tool not on this list, use it!

Consider these questions: What is philosophy? What are the main areas of philosophy? Ask these same questions to 3 to 5 friends or colleagues. Summarize their responses and your own in an essay form.

It must be approximately 1500 words or five full pages in length (not counting a Works Cited page). Sample Topics (you don’t HAVE to choose from this list, but use it if it helps you.

You must use Maggie: A Girl of the Streets.  Discuss who you believe the protagonist of this story is. Hint: It may not be Maggie. What symbols or themes do you feel are the most powerful? How do they move the story forward? What type of writer is Crane: Realist, Naturalist, Modernist, or Post-Modernist? How is this style reflected in the story? Discuss how the setting (time period, general or specific setting, dirty alleys, etc.) influenced the story. Could this same story have been set anywhere else? If so, where? What kind of character is Maggie? How do you feel about her? Is she responsible for her fate? Who is/are the antagonist(s) in this story? The Irish immigrant stereotype is alive and well in this story. How does this reflect Crane’s attitude? How is violence portrayed in this story? Use specific scenes to support your response. What does it say about weakness and strength? Religion is important to this community. What role does it play in specific characters’ lives and in general? How does it affect Maggie? What do you believe is Maggie’s fate and why? Is this justified?

You may have access to class materials (announcements, PowerPoints, module introductions, and the like) and course readings, but all answers must be your own.  If any information is found to have come from outside the posted class materials and two standalone texts (online analyses and websites, secondary research materials, other students, tutors, family members, etc.), you will not receive credit for that question.   Please answer the following questions.  Each may be answered in 1-2 well-developed paragraphs.  You do not need to create a dialogue or write as the characters; you can just describe and explain.  Do not do extra questions. b)  Margaret Oliphant and Agatha Christie meet one another at an evening party.  What would be their reaction to each other, based on your knowledge of their mindsets that they convey though “The Open Door” and “The Blue Geranium”?     c)  The narrator of “Loose Change” unexpectedly finds herself near Sandy’s convent after having missed her bus.  She decides to go in and talk to Sister Helena of the Transfiguration about her encounter with Laylor.  What would be Sandy’s reaction to her visitor and her story?
