Op-eds range in length but they are often between 600-800 words PLEASE PLEASE MAKE AROUND THAT MANY WORDS PLEASE PLEASE CHECK ALL THE FILES I SENT AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PLEASE PLEASE IT IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT TO ME PLEASE The Thesis
Unlike a persuasive academic essay, the thesis (both the theoretical and practical position)
in an op-ed is usually found towards the middle or end of the article. This convention helps
to build intrigue as the author weaves their way to their position.
The Hook
The first few sentences are critical to an effective op-ed. Readers of op-eds will not be as
patient as academic readers. You need to capture their interest right away. Here are some
ways to develop an effective hook:
• Discuss a personal experience or anecdote
• Connect an event in the news to your topic
• Ask an interesting question or make a provocative statemenT PLEAXE CHECK THE FONT SIZE AND WORD COUNT AND MAKE SURE IT IS HOW IT IS ASKED AND EXACT PLEASE PLEASE I BELIVE IN YOU AND TRUST YOU I WILL MAKE SURE TO GIVE 5 STAR PLEASE DO IT WELL PLEASEEEE THANK YOU!

Step 1: Identify an environmental problem that exists in your community.
You may already be aware of a local environmental issue that is related to the processes of globalization. If not, you will need to either go out to explore your community or you can conduct research using your local news media (not social media) to identify a problem. You will need to gather enough information to fully describe the problem and its causes to write the essay in Step 3.
Step 2: Research reliable sources to learn whether the environmental problem in your community is related to the globalization processes that include transborder associations for the purposes of trade, travel, and communication.
Find at least one reliable source that identifies and explains a relationship between the environmental problem in your community and globalization processes. Newspapers and government or non-government environmental organizations are some suggested resources.
Step 3: Write an analytical essay about the social problem that includes these elements.
Introduction – One paragraph
What is the purpose of the essay?
What steps will you take to achieve the purpose of the essay?
Include a thesis statement to set out the direction for the rest of the paper.
Descriiption of the Local Environmental Social Problem – Two paragraphs
Describe the conditions that you believe constitute an environmental problem in your community.
Address these prompts in your descriiption:
Paragraph 1
Where is the evidence of the environmental problem located? Describe the residents, housing conditions, traffic conditions, and natural environment of the area where the problem exists.
Describe the evidence of the environmental problem in enough detail that the reader can see, hear, smell, feel, or in some cases, taste the problem the same way that you experienced it.
Paragraph 2
Discuss the actions taken by local governmental agencies or local coalitions to remedy the environmental problem.
Based on your research about the local environmental problem, evaluate the effectiveness of attempts to resolve it.
The Connection to Globalization – Two Paragraphs
Paragraph 1
Describe the link between the local environmental issue and process of globalization.
Discuss the evidence from your research that explains how the local environmental issue is in some way connected to global economic, political, or social conditions.
Paragraph 2
Apply the functionalist and conflict perspectives to analyze the origin of the environmental problem on the global level.
Conclusion – One Paragraph
Restate the main points of your essay.
Suggest one substantiated idea for abatement of the environmental issue on the local level.
Conclude with your thoughts on whether there is a way to resolve environmental issues that are linked to globalization processes.
Step 4: Review and meet the submission requirements.
The completed essay must be within the range of 400-600 words in length to earn full credit. The essay should be double spaced and include the following:
12-point Times New Roman font.
1ʺ margins on all sides.
A separate title page and reference page.
In-text citations to at least one reliable source. You may use news media or information from government or non-government environmental organizations as references. Although the source does not have to be an academic one for this assignment, remember that Wikipedia, encyclopedias, and encyclopedia-type sources are not considered academic reliable sources.

Things to think about:
• When is speed important (and how important is it for your company’s particular issues)?
• How do you evaluate ‘quality’ in an ESH service?
• When is flexibility important? In what ways might a vendor customize their
products/services/bundles to fit the specific needs of your company?
• When might performance characteristics be emphasized over cost? Is this one of those
instances?
Your Assignment: Prepare a letter to Ms. Krauss recommending one of the vendors for the specific
product-service bundle package you select from those listed (details below). The letter must be no more
than 2 pages long, but must convey all of the pertinent information to justify your choice. Hint: you
should not really use ‘order qualifier’ or ‘order winner’ in your letter, since these may not be in common
use among the management of your company. Treat the letter as if you are writing it to your supervisor.
