This policy decides the minimum amounts of payments that employees are entitled to. Although this may sound well to the employees there is no sure facts that things will improve. For example, main problems that minimum wage policy seeks to combat is labor costs are increased, lack of funds to cover payroll for the businesses which may lead to loss of jobs and although minimum wage may increase the prices of living will increase as well. Resolution Plan Ideologies and values may include that influences the public and policy makers opinions of this policy formation and reform may think that the ripple effect on other employees that make the same amount as the increased minimum wage but have been there much longer and maintain a good work ethic for the same amount of pay. Although, this may increase the performance and motivation for employees to work or return to work the companies or businesses suffer especially if they are limited payroll funding. The Raise the Wage Act would disproportionately help those in poverty or close to it. Two-thirds (67.3 percent) of the working poor in America would receive a pay increase if the minimum wage were raised to $15 by 2024. Benefits Some benefits that are gained through the minimum wage increase helps the working families to maintain price inflation, may assist the economy by spending more money, and decrease unemployment and tax revenues are increased with higher wages. Some of the losers may include due to limited funding with companies pay-roll budget employees may be in danger of lay off. In addition, the cost of living may increase along with minimum wage decreases.

Essay #4 – Policy Issue (2000-2500 words: 8-10 pages) This assignment focuses on attempting to persuade your audience (your classmates) regarding a specific course of action that should be taken on a significant societal or community issue. You must not only convince your audience that this issue is relevant in society (the ‘so what?” that has framed all of our papers thus far), but also advocate for a specific, well-reasoned (utilizing inductive and/or deductive reasoning) feasible, and actionable solution to the issue. Specifically, this paper should do the following • State and describe what the problem is, in explicit detail. • Describe why the problem is important to the audience: How does (or will) it affect them, someone close to them, or some aspect of society they should care about. Present a solution (or solutions) to the problem • Describe how the solution is feasible (i.e. grounded in reality) • Describe how the solution is actionable (how can the audience, or other empowered agencies, act on the solution) Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the solution presented • Be supported with well-documented, valid sources of evidence (8 minimum) . In addition to the above, it is expected that the lessons paper #1 (clearly stating the issue and its relevance) and paper #2 (utilizing evidence that passes the tests, presenting key arguments surrounding the issues, recognizing fallacies in counterarguments) be incorporated.

MLA In-Text Citations: The Basics

Guidelines for referring to the works of others in your text using MLA style are covered throughout the MLA Handbook and in chapter 7 of the MLA Style Manual. Both books provide extensive examples, so it’s a good idea to consult them if you want to become even more familiar with MLA guidelines or if you have a particular reference question.

BASIC IN-TEXT CITATION RULES

In MLA Style, referring to the works of others in your text is done using parenthetical citations. This method involves providing relevant source information in parentheses whenever a sentence uses a quotation or paraphrase. Usually, the simplest way to do this is to put all of the source information in parentheses at the end of the sentence (i.e., just before the period). However, as the examples below will illustrate, there are situations where it makes sense to put the parenthetical elsewhere in the sentence, or even to leave information out.

General Guidelines

• The source information required in a parenthetical citation depends (1) upon the source medium (e.g. print, web, DVD) and (2) upon the source’s entry on the Works Cited page.
• Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source information on the Works Cited page. More specifically, whatever signal word or phrase you provide to your readers in the text must be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry on the Works Cited page.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS: AUTHOR-PAGE STYLE

MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The author’s name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence. For example:

Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (263).

Romantic poetry is characterized by the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth 263).

Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263).

Both citations in the examples above, (263) and (Wordsworth 263), tell readers that the information in the sentence can be located on page 263 of a work by an author named Wordsworth. If readers want more information about this source, they can turn to the Works Cited page, where, under the name of Wordsworth, they would find the following information:

Wordsworth, William. Lyrical Ballads. Oxford UP, 1967.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS FOR PRINT SOURCES WITH KNOWN AUTHOR

For print sources like books, magazines, scholarly journal articles, and newspapers, provide a signal word or phrase (usually the author’s last name) and a page number. If you provide the signal word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need to include it in the parenthetical citation.

Human beings have been described by Kenneth Burke as “symbol-using animals” (3).

Human beings have been described as “symbol-using animals” (Burke 3).

These examples must correspond to an entry that begins with Burke, which will be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of an entry on the Works Cited page:

Burke, Kenneth. Language as Symbolic Action: Essays on Life, Literature, and Method. University of California Press, 1966.
