task
Pick a sporting context and examine Covid and its impact its on New Zealand society.This is currently significant.
Create a report. In it, explain your own feelings about the event and consider a range of perspectives and factors. These may include (but are not limited to) social, political, ethical, environmental, economic, cultural, and historical perspectives and factors, plus any other relevant sociocultural factors such as gender, commodification, technocentricity, healthism, scientism, the body as a project, and identity could also be considered.
For example, you might include:
· An introduction that explains what you will be examining. It may include historical or background information.
· The positives and negatives of the event – who is advantaged or disadvantaged? How and why? What would its impact on New Zealand society be?
· Who is impacted, and to what extent, by the event? Who is in control/power? Who is influential? Who has a vested interest?
· The different viewpoints people have on the event. What has influenced them to adopt these viewpoints?
· Assumptions made about the event. Question and challenge these assumptions: are they accurate or not? (Consider a wide range of perspectives.) What are the consequences of these assumptions? Who benefits/who does not? What is the impact on New Zealand society?
Base your judgements on evidence, class discussions, and your own experiences.
Conclude your presentation with a summary in which you briefly restate your viewpoint and reiterate why it is valid.
Either give your teacher a bibliography listing all sources used in creating your presentation or acknowledge all sources in your presentation.

Politics role in Covid
Politics role in Covid
Politics has a very big role to play in the the activity I have chosen. The politicians decide what restrictions there are in society. In New Zealand we have a 4 tier Level alert system. The politicians lead by the prime minister decide what alert level we are in. ..................................................................................(Why, How). Currently as i write this, Jacinda Ardern the New Zealand prime minister has announced we are at Level 3. Therefore all games are cancelled until we drop down alert Levels
Politically decisions are made because there is a a interrelationship between rules and laws and levels of social interaction. By making rules about how can can or cant interact affects the ability of the covid virus to transmit between people............... (why, how)
The advantages of having politicians make decisions is that they represent what is good for the population. (how, why)
People that are advantaged by these decisions are....
Unfortunately the disadvantages of having politicians make decisions is that they do what makes them popular. ....... ( How, Why) Donald trump for example attempted to win re election by dismissing the threat of Covid19......
People that are affected by politicians are....

Writing an introduction
Write one sentence for each point to make a 5-sentence introduction:
Interest: Make a statement about the ‘thing’ you’re evaluating that you think will be of interest to the reader. Make it a catchy, engaging point that draws the reader in!
Notify: Notify the reader of any background info on the thing you’re evaluating. This is your chance to show your depth of knowledge. What is a historical fact about the ‘thing’?
Translate: Re-state the essay question. For an evaluative essay, you can re-state it something like: “This essay evaluates the book/ product/ article/ etc. by looking at its strengths and weaknesses and compares it against a marking criteria”.
Report: Say what your final evaluation will be. For example you can say “While there are some weaknesses in this book, overall this evaluative essay will show that it helps progress knowledge about Dinosaurs.”
Outline: Simply give a clear overview of what will be discussed. For example, you can say: “Firstly, the essay will evaluate the product based on an objective criteria. This criteria will include its value for money, fit for purpose and ease of use. Next, the essay will show the main strengths and weaknesses of the product. Lastly, the essay will provide a final evaluative statement about the product’s overall value and worth.”

4.2 Example Introduction
This example introduction is for the essay question: Write an Evaluation Essay on Facebook’s Impact on Society.
“Facebook is the third most visited website in the world. It was founded in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg in his college dorm. This essay evaluates the impact of Facebook on society and makes an objective judgement on its value. The essay will argue that Facebook has changed the world both for the better and worse. Firstly, it will give an overview of what Facebook is and its history. Then, it will examine Facebook on the criteria of: impact on social interactions, impact on the media landscape, and impact on politics.”
Conclusion
Conclusion
To conclude, you’ll need to come up with one final evaluative argument.
This evaluation argument provides an overall assessment. You can start with “Overall, Facebook has been…” and continue by saying that (all things considered) he was a good or bad president!
Remember, you can only come up with an overall evaluation after you’ve looked at the subject’s pros and cons based upon your evaluation criteria.
In the example below, I’m going to use my 5 C’s conclusion paragraph method. This will make sure my conclusion covers all the things a good conclusion should cover!
Like the INTRO method, the 5 C’s conclusion method should have one sentence for each point to create a 5 sentence conclusion paragraph.
The 5 C’s conclusion method is:
Close the loop: Return to a statement you made in the introduction.
Conclude: Show what your final position is.
Clarify: Clarify how your final position is relevant to the Essay Question.
Concern: Explain who should be concerned by your findings.
Consequences: End by noting in one final, engaging sentence why this topic is of such importance. The ‘concern’ and ‘consequences’ sentences can be combined
4.9 Concluding Argument Example Paragraph
4.9 Concluding Argument Example Paragraph
Here’s a possible concluding argument for our essay question: Write an Evaluation Essay on Facebook’s Impact on Society.
“The introduction of this essay highlighted that Facebook has had a profound impact on society. This evaluation essay has shown that this impact has been both positive and negative. Thus, it is too soon to say whether Facebook has been an overall positive or negative for society. However, people should pay close attention to this issue because it is possible that Facebook is contributing to the undermining of truth in media and positive interpersonal relationships.”
