Any topic (writer’s choice)

December 8, 2020 Leave a comment Chicago / Turabian, History

The paper should be typed, double-spaced with margins similar to the course syllabus. Use Times New Roman 12 pt. for font and font size.

we have studied Confucian gender ideology, women and the family in premodern China, using a range of historical documents, secondary literature, and visual materials. In this assignment, you have an opportunity to use the knowledge acquired to write a thoughtful paper to address the following questions:

Confucian gender ideology limited womens roles to the inner sphere and required them to adhere to the Three Followings. Despite the restrictions, however, some educated women found meaningful ways to play their part in the existing family system, rather than felt victimized by it. Why, in your view, might this be the case? What might be some of the factors that enabled them to play a positive role in the family? How did women exercise their influence and authority at home? How might have education and class affected the ways they played their roles?

Use of Evidence:
To write a thoughtful paper, it is essential that you cite concrete evidence to support your argument. Please following these instructions when citing sources:

1) Draw sources from as many different kinds of sources as possible that include primary documents, secondary sources, lectures, and visual materials.

2) Cite evidence from a range of texts. For example, when using primary documents to support your argument, cite different texts from both Under Confucian Eyes and the e-reserved documents. It is expected that a 6-page paper should use 6 to 7 texts from various kinds of sources, and each page should have a minimum of 2 to 3 citations.

3) It is not required that you cite sources from outside course readings. However, if you aim to write an excellent paper, you should cite external sources to broaden the basis of your evidence. (This does not mean, however, that citing external sources will guarantee an excellent grade). When you do cite external sources, please do not exceed of the total evidence cited for the entire paper. The majority of your sources should still be from the course materials.

4) Citation: use parentheses to indicate the authors name and page number, and insert them in the paper (do not use footnotes or endnotes).
For example: (Wang 245; Mann and Cheng, 55). No need to provide citations for sources drawn from lectures. Provide a bibliography page that uses the Chicago style.
For samples, see Chicago style samples that Ive posted on Canvas, or visit https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-1.html.

Organization: A good essay should be carefully organized. It should have a concise thesis at the beginning that summarizes your main points, logical development of your argument in clear paragraphs through the paper, and a short conclusion. Write in clear language: Proofread your paper before you turn it in.

The paper will be graded for both content and form. A good paper makes a clear, logical argument; is well-supported by evidence from the sources, carefully interpreted, and properly cited; is organized and edited for grammar; and shows deep understanding of Chinese gender and family practices in premodern times.

RACISM AND EQUALITY

December 8, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Humanities

You must attempt all questions. 200-300 words or more per part. Use references.

PART 1
The Dolezal controversy has raised questions about the way we talk about race in society and in the process taken a concept that scholars have been interrogating for a long time into public discussion. Before attempting this week’s discussion board please review the article “Racial Formation in the United States” by Michael Omi and Howard Winant (1986)

In your initial discussion post, answer the following questions:
1. What does it mean to understand race as a social construction?
2. To what extent does the Dolezal controversy help illustrate race as a social construct rather than a biological fact?

PART 2
In 2005, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first race-based drug. Called BiDil (pronounced bye-dill), it was intended to treat congestive heart failure in African-Americans only. The approval was widely declared to be a significant step toward a new era of personalized medicine, an era in which pharmaceuticals would be specifically designed to work with an individuals particular genetic makeup. Known as pharmacogenomics, this approach to drug development promises to reduce the cost and increase the safety and efficacy of new therapies. BiDil was hailed by some as a means to improve the health of African-Americans, a community woefully underserved by the U.S. medical establishment. However, not everyone is so sure.

Take a look at this clip of Ann Morning, Associate Professor of Sociology at NYU discussing pharmacogenomics and this new era of racialized medicine.
1. What role has science played in the social construction of race?
2. What are the potential implications of race-based medications like BiDil?

PART 3
1. Why is it important to understand slavery from the perspective of those enslaved as well as the perspective of the dominant group?
2. How has all this information changed how you understand the past?

PART 4
The panelists and hosts in this FOX News talk show discuss the idea of requiring passing citizenship tests to graduate high school and to vote.
1. Express the extent to which you agree or disagree with the sentiments voiced by the panelists?
2. What would be the implications of state governments requiring civic tests or voter IDs to vote?

PART 5
There were much debate and controversy regarding the 2016 Academy Awards. For the second consecutive year, there was a lack of diversity among Oscar nominees with only white actors getting the nod. The #OscarsSoWhitehashtag circulated throughout social media accusing Hollywoods most famous awards show for its lack of diversity, as well as the industry as a whole. Actors such as Jada Smith Pinkett and Spike Lee boycotted the event.
Here is an ABC news report on the controversy:

1. What is your perspective on the controversy?
