Paper Two

The news of ETC, of retired athletes possibly suffering debilitating brain damage, was now hitting the mainstream press. The NFL responded with denial and attack against the young pathologist in Pittsburgh, who surely had no idea what he was talking about.
“Preposterous,” they said to reporters.
“It’s not appropriate science.”
“Purely speculative.”
–Jeanne Marie Alaska, “Benet Somali, Concussions, and the NFL: How One Doctor Changed the NFL Forever”

Jeanne Marie Alaska tells the story of how an unknown forensic pathologist from Pittsburgh discovers a brain disease caused by football and published a scientific paper about his discovery. Alaska also tells the story of how the very powerful National Football League ignored Anomalous findings and any other evidence that football was literally making some of its players insane.
The other stories in our case study unit follow a similar pattern: a huge, powerful entity (a government, a corporation, the criminal justice system) acts to protect its own interests, however it defines them, and in the process, ordinary human beings (hundreds or thousands, sometimes) are injured, wronged, suffer or die.

We have two books that look at these problems in a more detailed way than an article can do. Actual Innocence, by Barry Check, Peter Seinfeld, and Jim Dyer look at how mistakes and misconduct within the criminal justice system that can lead to innocent people being imprisoned or put to death. Predator Nation: Corporate Criminals, Political Corruption, and the Hijacking of America takes a broader look at corruption in both business and government. As you read your chosen book, your task is to look for ideas, key terms, and concepts that might serve to further illuminate for you what counts as criminal conduct, what counts as incompetence or “idiocy,” and what might be done to change both individual behavior and the systems in which people work and make decisions.

Write a paper in which you investigate more deeply one of the four cases in our unit. People before you have begun to explain the “what happened,” and of course you will need to lay out these particulars for your reader. But your larger, and more important, task is to examine what circumstances allow these terrible things to happen and what would have to change to make things different. Remember that you can draw on any of the cases we have discussed to provide depth and comparative examples.

After reading Chapter 5 in the course text compare and contrast the similarities and differences between experimental and quasi-experimental designs. Describe the different ways in which an independent variable can be manipulated. Demonstrate application of the scientific method and ethical principles by explaining what dictates the selection of design (experimental versus quasi-experimental) and the type of manipulation used in a research study. Finally, give an example of a situation that could be studied with an experiment or quasi-experiment and assess the appropriateness of one design over the other in light of practical and ethical concerns.

Your initial post should be 250 to 300 words. Utilize a minimum of two peer-reviewed sources that were published within the last 10 years and are documented in SPA style, as outlined in the Ash ford Writing Center.

Design a research study on the topic of the study selected in Week One and critiqued in Week Three. Your design should seek to resolve the limitations you identified in the study you critiqued. Your paper must address all of the components required in the “Methods” section of a research proposal:

State the research question and/or hypothesis.
Specify the approach (qualitative or quantitative), research design, sampling strategy, data collection procedures, and data analysis techniques to be used.
If the design is quantitative, also describe the variables, measures, and statistical tests you would use.
Analyze ethical issues that may arise and explain how you would handle these issues.
Your Final Paper must be eight to ten pages in length (excluding title and reference pages) and formatted according to SPA style as outlined in the Ash ford Writing Center. Utilize a minimum of six peer-reviewed sources that were published within the last 10 years, in addition to the textbook, that are documented in SPA style as outlined in the Ash ford Writing Center. The sources should consist of the following:

One source should be the article you critiqued in the Week Three assignment.
At least two sources should be about the research methodology you have chosen for your study.
At least one source should be on ethical issues in research.
The remaining sources may be about anything pertinent to your study.
In accordance with SPA style, all references listed must be cited in the body of the paper.

Required Sections and Subsections (use these headings in your paper)

Introduction – Introduce the research topic, explain why it is important, and present your research question and/or hypothesis.
Literature Review – Summarize the current state of knowledge on your topic, making reference to the findings of previous research studies (including the one you critiqued in Week Three). Briefly analyze and critique these studies and mention the research methods that have previously been used to study the topic. State whether your proposed study is a replication of a previous study or a new approach using methods that have not been used before. Be sure to properly cite all of your sources in SPA style.
Methods
Design – Indicate whether your proposed study is qualitative or quantitative in approach. Identify the specific research design, using one of the designs we have studied in Weeks Three through Five, and indicate whether it is experimental or non-experimental. Evaluate your chosen design and explain why you believe this design is appropriate for the topic and how it will provide the information you need to answer the research question. Cite sources on research methodology to support your choices.
Participants – Identify and describe the sampling strategy you would use to recruit participants for your study. Estimate the number of participants you would need and explain why your sampling method is appropriate for your research design and approach.
Procedure/Measures – Apply the scientific method by describing the steps you would use in carrying out your study. Indicate whether you will use any kind of test, questionnaire, or measurement instrument. If using an existing published instrument, provide a brief description and cite your source. If you are creating a questionnaire, survey, or test, describe the types of information you will gather and explain how you would establish the validity and reliability. If you are not using such an instrument, describe how you would collect the data.
Data Analysis – Describe the statistical techniques (if quantitative) or the analysis procedure (if qualitative) you plan to use to analyze the data. Cite at least one source on the chosen analysis technique (from your Week Two assignment).
Ethical Issues – Analyze the impact of ethical concerns on your proposed study, such as confidentiality, deception, informed consent, potential harm to participants, conflict of interest, RIB approval, etc. After analyzing the ethical issues that apply to your research proposal, indicate what you would do to handle these concerns.
Conclusion – Briefly summarize the major points from your paper and reiterate why your proposed study is needed.

Assignment (also submit to Turning.com)
At this point we have read several articles and essays on the topic of consumerism. While they share the same overall topic, they demonstrate distinctly different perspectives on the matter. What’s more, each article has its own idiosyncrasies as a result of each author’s argument style (most notably, the evidence they use to support their claim). We have spent plenty of time picking these arguments apart and analyzing them, but now I would like you to join the discussion with your own perspective. Consider the following questions:
If anything, what is wrong with consumerism as we have discussed it?
Is it hurting our culture? Helping it? Both?
Do the authors we have read neglect some aspect or aspects of the issue that you feel ought
to be considered?
You will need to use these authors as sources to support your argument, so revisit each of them so you are able to refer to them easily. Develop a claim of your own on the matter, similar in format (but not content) to those we have read. Also, take into account how each of the authors use outside sources to support their arguments with varying degrees of success.
The Articles
Living with Less/A Lot Less
The Happiness Conspiracy
Consumerism and Its Discontents
Enjoyment as an Alternative to Materialism
Needing the Unnecessary

Final Draft
– Manitoulin argument elements (a single governing claim your thesis supported by reasons with good/relevant evidence, and with refutations where appropriate)
– TEA structure for body paragraphs
– Appropriate conjunctions to demonstrate logical relationships between ideas
– Focused sentences with cohesive links
– 3-4 pages, double spaced
– ML formatting (1-1.25 margins, 12 pt Times New Roman font, page #s)
– A Works Cited page stapled to your final draft (this will list any sources you cited or
used for information e.g., your article, dictionaries used for definitions, etc.) See your
Easy Access handbook for rules on ML citation. No cover page is necessary.
