2. Using the menu "Select a Country or Location," compute the total GDP (in US$ billions) of all 22 Arab League members (note that Occupied Palestine is implicitly referred to as "Gaza Strip" and "West Bank", because Israel continues to pressure the U.S. not to recognize Palestine as an independent state) in 2012 (or the available year).

“Jesus Walks”

Yo, We at war
We at war with terrorism, racism, and most of all we at war with ourselves
(Jesus Walks)
God show me the way because the Devil trying to break me down
(Jesus Walks with me) with me, with me, with me [fades]

You know what the Midwest is?
Young & Restless
Where restless (Niggas) might snatch your necklace
And next these (Niggas) might jack your Lexus
Somebody tell these (Niggas) who Kanye West is
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death is
Top floor the view alone will leave you breathless Uhhhh!
Try to catch it Uhhhh! It’s kinda hard hard
Getting choked by the detectives yeah yeah now check the method
They be asking us questions, harass and arrest us
Saying “we eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast”
Huh? Yall eat pieces of shit? What’s the basis?
We ain’t going nowhere but got suits and cases
A truck full of crap rental car from Avis
My momma used to say only Jesus can save us
Well momma I know I act a fool
But I’ll be gone ’til November I got packs to move I Hope

[Hook x2]
(Jesus Walks)
God show me the way because the Devil trying to break me down
(Jesus Walks with me)
The only thing that that I pray is that my feet don’t fail me now
(Jesus Walks)
And I don’t think there is nothing I can do now to right my wrongs
(Jesus Walks with me)
I want to talk to God but I’m afraid because we ain’t spoke in so long

To the hustlers, killers, murderers, drug dealers even the strippers
(Jesus walks with them)
To the victims of Welfare for we living in hell here hell yeah
(Jesus walks with them)
Now hear ye hear ye want to see Thee more clearly
I know he hear me when my feet get weary
Cause we’re the almost nearly extinct
We rappers are role models we rap we don’t think
I ain’t here to argue about his facial features
Or here to convert atheists into believers
I’m just trying to say the way school need teachers
The way Kathie Lee needed Regis that’s the way I need Jesus
So here go my single dog radio needs this
They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus
That means guns, sex, lies, video tapes
But if I talk about God my record won’t get played Huh?
Well let this take away from my spins
Which will probably take away from my ends
Then I hope this take away from my sins
And bring the day that I’m dreaming about
Next time I’m in the club everybody screaming out

(Jesus Walks)
God show me the way because the devil trying to break me down
(Jesus Walks)
The only thing that that I pray is that my feet don’t fail me now
(Jesus Walks)
And I don’t thing there’s nothing I can do now to right my wrongs
(Jesus walks with me… fades)
I want to talk to God but I’m afraid because we ain’t spoke in so long

write compare and contrast between two works that I wrote . Identify artist, title, medium (materials used), date and scale of each work as far as you are able.

Begin your paper with a description and placement of the works. Provide a brief background of each artist.

As you think critically and form your opinions about the two works of art you are evaluating, follow these seven steps:

Identify the artists’ decisions and choices

Ask questions/be curious

Describe the object

Question your assumptions

Avoid an emotional response

Do not oversimplify or misrepresent the art object

Tolerate uncertainty

Critical Thinking Skills.

Your essay should clearly define the main points of contrast and comparison between the two works. Evaluate the artist’s differing purposes and subject matter.

In your conclusion, evaluate the works in terms of subject matter and presentation. Which work do you think is the more successful? Why or why not.

Give reasons to support your criticisms, based on some of the concepts and ideas covered.

The task:

This 2500-word academic paper builds on the skills developed by the earlier assignments and develops them
further. It requires you to do the following:

1. Write an essay in the form of a critique of two articles in which you discuss how effectively the case is made in
both articles. In other words, identify the arguments and critique them with reference to the three Aristotelian
rhetorical proofs as well as other course concepts.

Crucially, You also need to compare and contrast the effectiveness of the arguments.

Give reasons to support your criticisms, based on some of the concepts and ideas covered so far in your reading
and discussions in CR&R.

2. Ensure that your critique concentrates on HOW the articles make a case, rather than WHAT they are about.
Your critique MUST use some or (preferably) all of the concepts and terms found in your reading and study of
rhetoric and argumentation, and should employ full and accurate citations and references to the sources where
these terms and concepts can be found (e.g. specific readings in the CR&R Readings and Resource material).

3. To reiterate the previous point: it is essential that your sources of information (from the reader) be carefully and
correctly cited according to the conventions of the Harvard referencing system. You may choose sources beyond
the reader, but you must first demonstrate that you have grasped the concepts of the articles in the reader before
moving on to additional sources. As with the previous assignment, any assignments with inadequate referencing
will not be allowed to pass.

4. It is strongly recommended that you use the readings provided before citing from other sources, that is,
demonstrate first that you have mastered the course readings before attempting to introduce other sources.
Failure to demonstrate a strong grasp of the course readings is not desirable!
