Paper Length– The required length is from 1800 to 2500 words.  The word count of your paper must appear at the bottom of the last page of text. Sources:   Your paper must be based on at least eight appropriate sources. Internet Sources– No more than half your sources may be from the Internet.  Capitalize the word “Internet.”  Online proprietary databases are not considered Internet sources. Dictionaries and Encyclopedias that have print editions from which the online editions are taken are not counted towards your Internet sources. Newspapers and magazines are not counted as Internet sources. If you find material from The New York Times quoted in an article on another Internet site, that quote counts as an Internet source. Books that are available online are not considered Internet sources. Note: your first and last stop in doing research for your paper should not only be Google.  While indespensible, Google and the other general Search Engines are too vast and produce results which might not be suitable for academic research. Try Google Scholar and Touro Library databases such as Proquest and Ebsco Host. Academic Suitability– Your sources are required to be academically suitable.  Read the following carefully.  Not to Be Used You may not use student written essays as sources You may not use essays posted on the various “free essay” sites available on the World Wide Web as sources. You may not use the home pages of individuals as your sources; however, exceptions might be made for distinctly authoritative sources. While a few do have academic merit, most blogs are not suitable.  May Be Used You may use an encyclopedia, whether general or specialized; Wikipedia may only be used for background information and for links and references. If you are using a dictionary to define a term, you must list that dictionary’s bibliographic information on your works cited page. Note: this will not count as one of your ten required sources. It is expected that students will need to define terms and will need to use a dictionary to do so. You may use any of the proprietary databases available through the Touro Virtual Library; for example, Ebscohost, ProQuest etc. You may use most articles from any of the journals in these databases as they are, for the most part, juried journals. When in doubt, ask your instructor. You may use most of the sources found in the Literature Center in the Touro Virtual Library (see the exceptions above).   Print Sources You may use material taken from major newspapers, either from the actual print edition or from the collections available through the Virtual Library. Keep in mind that The New York Times is a major newspaper, but The Daily News is not.  You may use articles that have appeared in the Sunday Times Magazine and in other general circulation periodicals, such as Newsweek, The New Yorker, Psychology Today, Business Week, Scientific American Note: exercise care here; many articles in these publications are not appropriate for academic papers. When in doubt, ask your instructor. You may use books in the Touro Library collections that are specific to your topic.   Quotation Sources There are a number of quotation sources available both in print and online, such as Bartlett’s Quotations and Brainyquotes.com. Should you take a quotation from any of these types of sources, you must include it in your Works Cited listing.  However, a quotation from such a source will not count as one of your 10 required outside sources.  If you feel that a particular quotation you find in one of these quotation sources is necessary for your paper, you will need to do the research to find that quotation in the work that originally contained that quotation.  For example, if you find a quotation from “The Declaration of Independence” in a quotation source, you will need to get to an actual, authoritative copy of the “Declaration” and use that as the source on your Works Cited page.  If a quotation in one of these types of quotation sources is taken from a speech, you will need to research and find an authoritative source that gives a copy of that speech.  In short, quotations may indeed support the points you are making, but they will be counted towards your 10 required outside sources ONLY if they come from authoritative sources and only if there is additional material taken from the authoritative source that you discuss in your own words.

what is the most consequential internal issue facing the U.S military today and why?

Does the President Have Unilateral War Powers?

queston 1-The 1st Amendment Reads: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” Discussion Theme: The first Amendment protects our right to free speech & free assembly, but should there be limits? In Cox v. New Hampshire (1941), the Supreme Court upheld the power of localities to require permits and small filing fees for mass demonstrations and protests as long as the restrictions were applied uniformly to all groups and the restrictions were intended to suppress the content of a group’s speech. Prompt: In 1977, the National Socialists of America (a Neo-Nazi group) requested a permit to parade through  Skokie, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago) wearing Nazi uniforms and advocating for White Supremacy. Skokie had a large Jewish population, some of whom were survivors of the Holocaust. The city’s residents were understandably upset and persuaded the city to deny the permit because (1) it was inflammatory and offensive and (2) because it could cause riotous behavior to break out in response to the presence of the Nazi’s. So, imagine you were on the court. How would you decide this case? Did the Nazis have the right to protest even though what they are saying is despicable, possibly traumatic, and could resort in a violent response? Should hate speech be protected by the 1st Amendment? How far is too far?  question 2- Read the article titled “The Exclusionary Rule on the Brink” by Richard Re, Washington Post Blogger. It would also be helpful to watch this video from Quimby about the case of Mapp v. Ohio. After reading the article and watching the video, use it to facilitate your discussion thread posts below by responding to the following statement. “The exclusionary rule just makes life harder for police officers who are just trying to do their job. If you have nothing to hide, you’ve got nothing to worry about. Stop helping criminals and start helping the police do their job.”   Using this post, explain the ways you think the exclusionary rule helps or hurts citizens. Is it legitimate to let people accused of crimes go free when the police mess up?23906327 minutes agouse this link for the second question  https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2014/03/03/the-exclusionary-rule-on-the-brink/

The research paper is on the UN Sustainable Development Goals.  After you read about it here https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/ and you also read this UN article https://news.un.org/en/story/2020/07/1068551 you should choose one out of the 17 SDGs. For your paper use the UN sources but also independent sources, like major newspapers and magazines, and academic journals and publications from NGOs (Non government organizations). On the internet you will find all the sources you need. You should not use blogs or unverified posts on social media. In your paper, you should describe the goal and how the UN is trying to reach it by 2030. You also have to give your opinion (based on your finding in your research) on whether you think the UN will be able to reach this goal. If the answer is positive, describe the best work done to reach it so far. If your answer is negative, describe why it is not possible to reach the goal with the present strategy. What are the main problems and how could they be fixed.  Include in your paper considerations on the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the SDGs program and, in particular, on the goal that you are addressing. Also, if you could give advice to the UN Secretary-General on this particular goal, what it would be? Add to the paper any other considerations you think are relevant to better understand the importance of this particular sustainable development goal. 2,000 words no less
