Essay 1: Living and Framing the Actions According to Ethos (How Am I Connected?) Length: Approximately 900 words Points: 100 Due: January 30, 2026, by 11:59 PM Submission: Blackboard (.docx or .pdf) Assignment Overview In Weeks 1 and 2, we examined how writing responds to a rhetorical situation, how meaning emerges through the rhetorical triangle(writer, audience, purpose), and how ethos credibilityis established through action rather than asserted through claims. For this essay, you will apply these concepts to your own lived experience. Rather than analyzing a published text, you will analyze a specific action, decision, or sequence of actions you took and examine how that action functioned rhetorically. You will ask: How am I connected to this situation through my actionsand how does that connection shape credibility? This is not a personal narrative written for self-expression. It is a rhetorical analysis of lived experience, using storytelling as evidence and rhetorical theory as an analytical lens. Purpose of the Assignment: This assignment is designed to help you: Identify and respond to a rhetorical situation Apply the rhetorical triangle to lived experience Understand ethos as situational, relational, and action-based Practice framing experience rhetorically for an academic audience Reflect on how stakes and consequences shape credibility Ethos Framework: Framing Lived Action: Your essay must engage explicitly and intentionally with at least one of Aristotles three forms of ethos: Phronesis (Practical Wisdom): How did your actions demonstrate judgment, insight, or awareness of the situation? Arte (Ethical Character): How did your actions reflect values such as responsibility, integrity, or accountability? Eunoia (Goodwill Toward Others): How did your actions demonstrate fairness, care, or concern for others involved? You may use more than one form of ethos, but your analysis should remain focused. Ethos should be shown through action and reflection, not asserted through self-description. Your Task Write an essay of approximately 900 words that: Describes a specific action, decision, or sequence of actions you undertook Frames that action within a rhetorical situation (audience, purpose, context, and stakes) Analyzes how ethos was produced through the action Reflects on how credibility was established, challenged, or negotiated Clearly connects lived experience to rhetorical concepts from class Important: You are not being evaluated on whether your action was right or successful. You are being evaluated on how effectively you frame the action rhetorically and analyze its role in shaping credibility. Audience & Tone: Your audience includes: Your classmates Your instructor Write in a clear, reflective academic tone appropriate for a first-year writing course. First-person (I) is appropriate, but your focus should remain on rhetorical framing, not confession or opinion. Formatting & Submission Requirements Length: Approximately 900 words Spacing: Double-spaced Font: 12-point standard academic font Margins: 1 inch File format: .docx or .pdf Submission: Blackboard No outside research is required unless approved by the instructor. Note to Students: This assignment mirrors the concepts introduced in class. You are being assessed on how effectively you frame lived action through ethos within a rhetorical situation, not on having the right experience or outcome.

Topic

Describe the specific topic to be studied. Provide a brief synthesis of recent literature on the topic and clearly identify the target population, variables, and/or concepts under study. Ensure that the topic is grounded in a problem and aligned with your program of study.

o Example: The topic for the proposed study is the effect of transformational leadership on organizational citizenship behavior among employees in health care organizations. Describe transformational leadership, organizational citizenship behavior, and employees in health care organizations. Support and cite the support for each of these descriptions.

Describe the significance of this topic to your program or field (business, counseling, education, technology, public service leadership, psychology, social work, and so on) and your specialization within your program if applicable.

o Correctly form the topic.

o Use appropriate language for key concepts/phenomena addressed by the topic.

o Clearly specify relationships among the foundations (quantitative method).

o Identify and define the specific concepts or foundations to be explored (qualitative method).

o Name the target population.

o Focus the concepts appropriately.

Use scholarly literature to explain what is known and unknown about this topic. Report the actual study findings (not implications or recommendations) from recent (57 years from expected date of graduation), peer-reviewed articles, and seminal works to explain the current status of the topic and to show the gap in understanding that you propose to fill.

Problem

Write a brief statement regarding the need for the study that fully describes the problem or need being addressed. The need for the study is often referred to as the project or research problem. Correctly state the problem:

o Summarize existing literature and key findings.

o Clearly formulate gaps in the existing literature or problems in practice.

o Explicitly state, rather than imply, the project or research problem.

o State the theoretical or conceptual framework with source.

In simplified terms, the project or research problem might take this form: The scholarly literature on _________ indicates that ________ is known and __________ is known, but what is not known is ______________.” Write out the problem statement and theoretical foundation.

o Quantitative problem statement example: “The proposed study will examine the extent to which (independent variable) influences (dependent variable) among (population) (moderated/mediated by [variable]). X Theory (citation) will serve as the theoretical framework of the proposed study.”

o Qualitative problem statement example: “The proposed study will seek to ________ (understand, describe, develop, discover) how [concepts/theory foundations] have addressed the ________ (central phenomenon, experience/event, process) for _______ (the target population). The tenets of Y theory (citation) will serve as the conceptual framework of the proposed study.”

Example: “This qualitative generic inquiry study will explore how Maslow’s hierarchy of needs’ foundations of physiological and safety needs are associated with the perceptions of post-Covid 19 unemployed job seekers toward job hunting.”

Supporting Evidence

Explain how the proposed study will add or contribute to a better understanding of the theoretical foundation of the problem or contribute to a better understanding of practice.

Explain the proposed gap supported by scholarly literature or the practical implications of the proposed study.

Synthesize a review of the scholarly literature to expose, explain, and analyze previous scholarly efforts to address the project or problem.

Project Questions

List one or more project questions that align with the topic, problem, and supporting evidence within the program.

o Include a list of terms and definitions that relate to the program, topic, problem, gap, program, and project framework.

Describe your target population.

Describe the background for your study and how your question relates to the background of the study. Discuss previous studies and demonstrate exactly how your project (answering the question, applying to practice) will advance the scientific knowledge base on this topic. Consider the following guidance:

o Questions should be appropriate for the knowledge gap and current state of knowledge (supporting evidence).

o Questions are cast using the variables or phenomena under study. The variables or phenomena in the questions are identical to the variables discussed in the problem and specific theory gap.

o Questions are explicit in naming the type of relationship or phenomenon under study.

o When answered, questions will make a contribution to theoretical or practical foundations. The contribution to the academic field and to the theoretical foundation must speak to how the relationship among the variables or to the phenomenon addresses the knowledge gap previously identified.
