The main topics covered in chapter ten are motivation (what gets you started and keeps you going towards a goal) and emotion (the feelings you experience along with a behavior).  Over the next day or two, monitor your own behavior.  Think of the motivation you have for your various behaviors and the ­emotions that you experience.   Answer the following questions.  Be sure to give enough detail that a reader has a clear understanding of what you did and what factors might have influenced your behavior.

 

                             

 

1. Describe something that you did in the past few days where it felt relatively easy to explain your motivation for the behavior.  Explain your motivation for the behavior, and suggest a theory that backs up your explanation.

1. Describe an experience where you felt a strong emotion.  What emotion did you experience?  Try to explain how you came to experience the emotion.  Was a lot of thinking involved?  Was it a quick “gut reaction?”  Did the reactions of other people influence the way you felt?  Which theory of emotion best fits your experience?

Your essay will be graded on its ability to adhere to illustration essay conventions. Does your essay assert some serious problem or point that needs to be illustrated? Does the essay present an illustration that clarifies the main point or your position on the problem? Does the conclusion connect to the opening?

You will be graded using the following categories: content, organization, grammar and style conventions, resources, references, and APA formatting. Your essay will also be graded on its development. See the flow chart on page 77 in Strategies for Writing Successful Research Papers for guidance. Be sure that you revise, proofread, and format your essay according to APA standards. See The CSU Citation Guide. If you use outside sources, you need to use quotation marks for lifted language, as well as in-text and reference list citations. The APA organization/formatting should adhere to specifications for research papers, including the following:

 

 

ï‚· A title page that includes the title of the paper, the name of the student, and the name of the institution (Columbia Southern University);

ï‚· A proper running head according to APA 6th edition guidelines found in The CSU Citation Guide on pp. 13-14;

 

ï‚· One (1) academically valid source (see p. 18 of The CSU Citation Guide for assistance with finding sources through the CSU Online Library)

 

ï‚· A reference page with a centered header of “References” properly reflecting all sources used within the text (see The CSU Citation Guide, p. 16 for overall formatting guidelines and pp. 7-12 for formatting guidelines for specific source types)

 

 

1. In a well-written paper:
   • a. Suppose you work in the U.S. Treasury Department as an anti-terrorist funding expert? What challenges would the Hawala system present to you? What would you need to do in order to track the funds?

     • iii. This paper will use 1-inch margins, Times New Roman 12-point font, and double spacing.
     • iv. The citations for each article MUST be correctly formatted according to APA guidelines. Do NOT use an automated citation manager to perform this function. Do it manually for this assignment and check your formatting against available APA resources.

  • b. Only COMPLETE paragraphs consisting of an introductory sentence, a full explanation of key points supported with properly cited sources, and a concluding sentence may be used.
