Some organizations prohibit workers from bringing certain kinds of devices into the workplace, such as cameras, cell phones, and USB drives. Some businesses require employees to use clear or see-through backpacks when carrying personal items. What other devices might not be allowed in certain facilities, and why would they be restricted? The video on Google’s Data Center may give you some ideas to write about for this assignment.
Your written assignment should consist of 2-3 paragraphs.

Analysis paper one: Carl Jung

/in /by

the analysis papers are five to seven pages in length but may be longer.  You must cover all the major concepts of the theory and demonstrate that you not only understand and can describe the concept but that you can apply it accurately.  Imagine you are the theorist and that you are writing a colleague. You would want to explain your theory and then also explain how your theory applies to this unique person you have met — Meursault!

Some key points:

Do NOT quote from your textbook — you need to be able to explain the concepts in our own words.  Anyone can cut/paste — it demonstrates no understanding of the material.
Make sure you both define and apply.
Make sure that you focus on all of the major concepts of the theorist.
Make sure you focus on how the theorist defines and applies a concept.  Don’t add in concepts that are from other theories or pop psychology.  Also, make sure you don’t use a “popular” definition of a term but rather use the term accurately based on the specific theory.  For example, Freud, Jung, and a host of others include the term “ego” but each theorist uses the term differently.
Section headings are a really good idea!

Feedback from professor:

I think this is a neat little script, but that we need more from it. Well, the assignment demands we need at least two more pages ?, but I would tell you the same thing even if it didn’t.

Marcus is a well-drawn character. He’s so slick and sleazy, with his constant leering at women and naked power play to get Isaac out of the office. I don’t think McConnell comes off the page as much as Marcus does, so he could maybe use a punch up. We think about bureaucrats as robotic, so perhaps that’s a direction you can take him. Just an idea, but the note is to push him further as a character.

The topsy-turvy natures of this script is quite fun, but as discussed during the workshop, the aciton on the final page is unclear. So you’ll have to not only rewrite that description so we know what’s happening, but also rework the story so that it makes more sense. I had read it as Isaac had Marcus killed as punishment and McConnell killed to cover his tracks. I did not understand that “the lady” killed Isaac as well. That’s confusing for the entire story because we don’t know who she is. So whether it’s a just killing or awful murder… it’s hard to understand…

But you need to fill two more pages for the assignment, so incorporating this woman into the script in a more meaningful way is going to help you finish this script. You could use Sylvia, who is already in play as Marcus’s assistant and the object of his wandering eye. His mistreatment of her could be stronger; they could even have a romantic relationship. This could give her motive to kill Marcus, although it remains unclear what she has to do with McConnell and Isaac. However you decide to play it out, this woman needs to have a clearer arc throughout the story. Then it can really work!

Please let me know if you have further questions.
