Trend argues that the United States is an “unfinished project.”

Here is a word file containing these prompts for Reaction Paper 2Preview the document that you can download.]

SOURCE: David Trend, Elsewhere in America
LENGTH: 400-600 words

Pick one of the prompts below and write a formal academic essay in response. (Formal writing means structure [introà body paragraphsà conclusion], development of argument [thesis, claims supported by evidence, logical argument], formal English, and footnotes[1] for citation.) Also, double-space and use proper margins. You will submit this assignment through Canvas(click on the essay assignment).

Trend argues that the United States is an “unfinished project.” [2] How does he mean this claim with respect to the United States having an aspirational culture? How does he understand it to include the potential for outsiders to belong to American culture?
Trend argues that culture helps frame boundaries for including or excluding certain subjectivities. With respect to at least two distinct groups, how does Trend suggest these groups struggled to change their status from “not belonging” to “belonging”?
Trend wonders what might happen if the notion of “identity” was treated as nothing more than “fiction.”[3] Discuss the ways in which at least one identity you claim has become important to your sense of belonging (or lack thereof) in some aspect of your life. In what ways is that identity a basis for you activism/engagement with the world. How is it more than a fiction?
Arguments about religion and morality lie at the heart of much conflict in contemporary society. Describe three issues profiled by Trend that have matters of faith at the core of the conflict.

[1] Footnotes should follow either the Turabian or (the nearly indistinguishable) Chicago style. For a convenient guide to footnote citation systems, please consult either of these websites. They present the same information but package it different ways so rely on the one you find easier to comprehend. Alternatively, look at how Trend organizes his citations and copy what he did. A simple example (citing a book by a single author) is fn. 7 (p. 28). https://www.library.georgetown.edu/tutorials/research-guides/turabian-footnote-guide (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.) OR http://www.press.uchicago.edu/books/turabian/turabian_citationguide.html (Links to an external site.)

[2] David Trend, Elsewhere in America: The Crisis of Belonging in Contemporary American Culture (Routledge, 2016), 99. [This is how a first citation of a book with one author should look.].

[3] Trend, 123. Trend follows up that speculation by sourly observing that such thinking amounts to “utopian silliness.” This passage from Chapter 6 thus seeds his discussion of this country’s utopian aspirationalism in Chapter 12. [This footnote models how a second citation of a previously cited source should look. The next two sentences demonstrate the footnote’s other function, as a place to expand upon an idea raised in the main text.]

Suppose you are working as a senior software development manager in a software house. The company develops custom software for clients. In one of the development projects, a postmortem analysis reveals that a particular developer out of a team of five (5) was responsible for the major failure of the developed software product. This has caused the project to run 20% behind schedule and exceed its monetary budget by 30%. Initial estimates point to an additional twelve (12) weeks from the original 36-week effort to correct the failures. You have been asked by your supervisor to create an improvement plan to address these issues using the People Capability Maturity Model (P-CMM).

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

Section 2: PowerPoint Presentation

You have also been asked to develop a presentation to be shown to your CEO to explain why you have chosen to implement the specific strategy outlined in your improvement plan.

Prepare a seven to ten (7-10) slide PowerPoint presentation in which you:

1. Summarize the main points in the improvement plan.
