Hello, so the assignment is on poltics of climate change, and the question is : ”
Is disruptive non violent direct action an
effective strategy for promoting climate change action” I have a bottle neck of essays and exams, and work 3 part time jobs, so I’m needing this service to lighten the load.
I’ll be wanting a first mark, its not a hugely challenging essay and the lecturer likes a traditional essay writing style. An example of the quality of work, it should look something like this: “In 1997 to the surprise of both theologians and
many others, the French Marxist philosopher Alain Badiou (2003) published an
extended essay entitled Saint Paul: The Foundation of Universalism. He
argued that St Paul provided a foundation for liberation. In a bold,
materialist re-reading he examined how the apostle described a universal
subject. Badiou was concerned that the rise of the French National Front,
during the 1990s, provided one example of how instead of celebrating a
universal human subject, racist particularisms were becoming normalised within
globalised capitalism. The message of Christianity, amplified and transmitted
by Paul, showed that the universal human subject was neither Greek nor Jew but
an entire humanity. This might seem a long way from the Anthropocene but
debates within eco-socialism can, I would suggest, be traced back to a debate
about the nature of the universal subject. Simply put, for some eco-socialists
the Anthropocene can be seen as a rift between humanity and the rest of nature,
for others we are nature, so the Anthropocene, perhaps better defined as
the Capitalocene, is a series of shifts within nature. Thus the key debate
amongst eco-socialists in examining the Anthropocene demands a consideration of
this question of the subject: Human beings are important but are we the
universal subject or is the whole of nature including our species the more
relevant category to discuss?”
I’m going to attach grading criteria, all the required readings and secondary readings, The bibliography should be APA style, and there should be at least 20 references in the bibliography, and all primary readings should be used, and at least 20 sources should be actively used in the essay, will leave a good review if the essay is a first and tip if thats an option.
