A Contemporary Conflict Resolution approach to the Bosnian War

Application Essay

Essay based on your Student Presentation

All students will develop their presentation into an application essay. The essay will be due three weeks after the presentation. Be careful with plagiarism because your written essay will go through the Turnitin.com for check.The essay should be no more than 10 pages, double-spaced and use 12-point font.

Please follow the guidelines below in addition to paper submission guidelines contained in the course syllabus and the CANVAS getting started module on course requirements.

a) Briefly introduce the specific topic and case. What topic do you address? What is conflict will you discuss and what specific aspect will you focus on? (see the PowerPoint Presentation Attachment)

b) Your essay should have a main argument or idea – What is the main point you want to make about the conflict topic you learned from the assigned readings in relation to the Bosnian war studied in class?

c) Define and briefly discuss the concept, theory, model of conflict you will use to help us understand the real-life conflict. What theory, concept or model (from the assigned readings) did you use for analyzing the case? How appropriate was it for analyzing the conflict/peace event? Give good reasons

d) Application. Show clearly how the concept, theory, model of conflict selected from the assigned readings expands our understanding of the case or, show how (in what way) the case illustrates concept, theory, model well. Give good reasons and evidence from the case and readings.

e) Provide a conclusion that discusses your findings and their implication. Your conclusion should tell the reader a) What you discovered or learned from applying knowledge learned to understand/explain the Bosnian war or what found most interesting/important; b) what your findings (new knowledge gained or generated) reveal about conflicts such as the Bosnian war and or the theory, model, concepts you used to analyze the war.

Please note the following

Written assignments, such essays, are opportunities for you to develop and demonstrate your ability to:

a) Read and comprehend sources of information (understanding)

b) Apply knowledge learned creatively (creative use of model, theory, concepts, and insights),

c) Assess value of knowledge learned (critical analysis),

d) Locate information to answer the question from the course readings and beyond these (research skill).

e) Communicate clearly, concisely, persuasively in keeping with the professional requirements of academic writing (Academic/scholarly, professional writing skills)

Avoid using several pages to restate what we already know about the case and readings. Instead, use more space to discuss the more interesting aspects (see tasks – b, c, and d). Weak essays tend to rely on the instructor’s or student presenters’ power point presentations only, show little or no evidence that you read assigned course texts, and show weak or no integration of insights from readings to make a compelling argument about the specific conflict event and such conflicts in general.

Use the APA citation style for proper attribution of sources of information and insights used in your essay. Use prose – do not present the reader with a list of bullet points.
