•    come to understand the varied issues of disaster relief and humanitarian assistance.
•    practice how to prevent or alleviate human suffering through the simulation of many facets of disaster operations.

Assignment: Please select a domestic or international disaster and analyze it from any perspective you prefer, e.g., environmental, media coverage, economic issues, leadership issues, etc.  You may also select an issue and compare two different disasters.  The role of conflict analysis and resolution must figure prominently in your research and analysis.  Your paper should reflect your own thoughts and analysis.  Most papers will be around 10-15 pages long (double spaced).  Please provide a clear statement of your thesis and highlight it within your paper.

Instructions for this order:

For this order, you are to write a full 12page term/research paper according to the assignment indicated above. The topic of your paper is focused on the impact of disasters caused by earthquakes and volcanoes in Indonesia. SEE ATTACHED DOC. “PROPOSAL” you may still need to select an specific natural disaster of Indonesia to comply with the assignment requirements.

This paper is a conflict analysis and resolution focus writing paper, which means that it is important to only draw out the most important things and not spend too much time in going around in circles to get to a point.  Also, the last section of your paper must be composed of a “Recommendations”.

Also Provide specific examples to elaborate your arguments, provide an in depth analysis by relating it to the course readings/concepts, and finally, tie it all together into one concise research paper that is easy for your readers to understand. **See Attached “course reading”

****Fundamentals of Writing:
–    It is important that the entire paper is well organized, coherent, concise and to the point.
–    The structure of your paper should move smoothly from one point to the next, the same way you want your audience’s thought to go. Therefore, Transitions between paragraphs, recommendations or stating an issue, needs to be well elaborated and explained clearly.
–    Do not use filler words within your sentences. e.g. “in order to”, or “the parties”. If you have labeled/header as the parties section within your paper, do not write “the parties again” within that section- these are filler words and they should not be used repetitively. Also, make sure you don’t over use the word “and” repetitively within the same sentence twice. This becomes confusing and redundant.
–    Use creative action verbs to start a direct sentence, such as;
o    Create – Sentence 1
o    Design – Sentence 2
o    Implement – Sentence 3
–    Your paper should be written in a way that someone who doesn’t know anything about your topic, should be able to understand what your paper and arguments are about.
