Select a beverage trend of interest in order to research and prepare a minimum 4-page paper identifying and explaining its influence.

The student is required to prepare an expository (explanatory) paper that explains something to the audience. This paper is a piece of academic writing that requires a more abstract, critical, and thoughtful level of inquiry. Images and pictures may be included to support the relevancy of the trend. However, it should be understood that excessive pictures/images or ones that are overly large to take away from the content and substance of the text will be deducted points at the discretion of the instructor.

Once a topic has been solidified, research it from multiple (quality-oriented) sources and various aspects. An essay should be prepared that includes: Three major sections:

1) Cover Page, 2) Main Body (intro, body, conclusion), and 3) References.

Format – The research trend paper should be typed (12-point font, times new roman), double-spaced on standard-sized paper (8.5″ x 11″) with 1″ margins on all sides. The paper should be four-to-five pages in length, not including the title and reference page. Cover page should include: Students name, course name, selected trends. All borrowed information from published sources needs to be cited.

1.    The 2016 Presidential election was unprecedented for a number of reasons but, one of the most stark findings from the exit polls and voter breakdown from the election found that the majority of white voters in every category (notably, former Obama voters) voted for Donald Trump. The majority of voters from non-white groups voted for Hillary Clinton. This kind of split in the vote was attributed to several variables, including then-candidate Trump’s racialized rhetoric.

Will it happen again in 2020?

Please take a look at the resources below on the 2016 election and by using resources from academic or professional political sources (i.e. analysis sites, political pundits and journals), predict whether the white-PoC split will happen again in 2020? Or will it be along other lines?

FYI: Media isn’t a reason, don’t reference media- think beyond it.

2.    Legislation are government are not just intent, but implementation, thus the Presidency is extremely important and consequential. The effect of a single administration on our country can be far reaching as the implementation of legislation passed by congress or the actions of a single administration can have consequences here and abroad and set forth extensive changes to our daily lives.

For this critical challenge, students will be required to choose an administration- excluding the following President’s: Washington, Kennedy, and Trump– and identify one signature policy that had a long lasting impact on domestic or international affairs.

Students must successfully:

– Clearly and correctly match the President and their Policy.

– Explain the context, in which, the policy was enacted by the administration, or if it was a legislative initiative and why the President at that time advocated for that policy.

– Identify who was affected by the policy, both positively and negatively.

The Liberal Media” is a common phrase that you hear from pundits- both identified Democrats and Republicans- but, is it ‘liberal (i.e. aligned with the Democrats) as we would think it is?

I would like you to watch this report on polarized media and respond to it and the question, does the media have a liberal bias? Why?

Disclaimer: This is a more politically charged assignment so, I understand that some people’s politics will play a role in your answer- and that’s okay. I will be grading this on a 1-5 scale (represented in a grade percentage) in terms of the following:

– Competency; attention to detail/ absence of pre-established partisan talking points; demonstration of understanding the situation; and, nuance and thoroughness of the response.

– 5 grade is the equivalent of an A; 4 grade is equivalent to a B; 3 grade is equivalent to a C; 2 grade is equivalent to a D; 1-0 grade is equivalent to an F.

Imagine that you are a potential investor researching a U.S. investment of your choice. Your choice can be any investment that is highly marketable, which means that you must be able to sell it at a market price very easily and develop a strategic diversification plan for great return. Publicly traded stock, corporate bonds, government bonds, real estate, mutual funds, and derivatives are all examples of highly marketable investments.

You will be required to collect financial statements and/or relevant financial information that detail(s) the past three (3) years (fiscal or calendar) of the chosen investment. (These statements can usually be located within the organization’s website under “investor information” or something similar. Many times, these statements can also be found on Yahoo! Finance, Google Finance, or MSN Money. You may also visit the Strayer University Library at https://research.strayer.edu.)

You will also be required to research your chosen investment’s price for the past five (5) years, as well as a related market index for this investment for the past five (5) years. An example of an applicable market index is the Standard & Poor’s Stock Market Index, commonly called the S&P 500.

  1. Select the highly marketable investment that you wish to research and discuss diversification strategies for your portfolio.
  2. Provide a brief (one [1] paragraph) explanation of the systematic risk and potential return associated with that particular investment.
  3. List five (5) resources to demonstrate that there is enough information available regarding your selected investment.
