A new group called Global Rights for All Peoples (GRAP) has hired you to be a social movement consultant. Provide a plan of action for this new transnational movement that includes your best advice for what kind of organization they should establish, how to recruit participants, how they should present themselves to the public, and what kinds of tactics are likely to be most effective. In developing this plan, detail what you think are the main challenges (e.g., recruitment, organization, media framing, repression, opposition, alliance formation) facing such a transnational effort, drawing on what you’ve learned about other social movements examined in the course when relevant. Readings from weeks 6-7 will be especially helpful in completing this assignment, but the point is to be as convincing as possible in laying out your plan, so you might also want to draw on earlier assigned texts. You do not need to incorporate any new readings for this assignment but I expect you to cite course materials when appropriate. Remember: the target audience for your plan of action is a group of global activists, not academics!

Section 1: Thesis Statement Essay – 5 points WRITE A 2-3 PAGE THESIS ESSAY IN RESPONSE TO THE FOLLOWING PROMPT: What does (name of your author) tell us about the human being, God, and/or the relationship between God and the human being? You have worked on the tools to develop a thesis essay response throughout the Weekly Journals. For this response, you will need a thesis statement, a quoted passage, and your essay response supporting your thesis statement in your own words. You may use further quotations, and you may (and should) refer to specific points in the texts through citations (author/page # or title/page #) throughout your essay response. This thesis essay response has specific requirements: 1) Choose one of the mystical writers we have studied this semester to answer this prompt. 2) Choose one particular passage by that writer that reveals her/his interpretation of: a) the human being; b) God; c) and/or the relationship between the two. 3) At the top of the essay response, write your 20-word or less underlined thesis statement that answers the prompt question. 4) Type out the passage you selected. You may put the passage in italics, or in quotation marks. 5) Write your essay response below the thesis statement and quoted passage. You may restate the thesis statement within your essay, but the underlined thesis statement must stand on its own at the top of the essay. You will argue your thesis statement based on the textual evidence of your primary passage that reveals the author’s interpretation of: 1) the human being; 2) God; 3) and/or the relationship between the two. The passage you chose will be your main evidence, but you may also employ additional evidence from other parts of the author’s work. You may also consult and cite secondary source material located in your texts, from the files located in the Research Resources on Blackboard, or from other sources. This paper will reflect a close reading of the primary source text and will demonstrate your grasp of course concepts, vocabulary, issues, topics, and concerns. Section 1 should be 2-3 pages long (including the thesis statement and quoted passage). Section 2: Your Choice Essay Responses – 8 points (4 points for each Essay Response, there are 2) CHOOSE TWO (2) OF THE TEN (10) ESSAY QUESTION OPTIONS (on page 4 of this exam) TO WRITE AN ESSAY RESPONSE FOR EACH OF THE TWO (2) QUESTIONS YOU CHOOSE. The length of each response is somewhat variable. This section should total 2-3 pages, which means that each response can be one (1) page long, or one response can be half a page, and another response 1.5 pages, etc. The minimum for this Section I is two (2) pages total; the maximum is three (3). Type the prompt question at the top of each essay response. These essay responses do NOT need thesis statements (although you may use a thesis statement if that is helpful for you). The essay responses are intended for you to gather “everything you know” on the topic, displaying your CHRISTIAN MYSTICAL TEXTS Name ________________________ THEO 3340 – FALL 2020 PROF. LISA RADAKOVICH HOLSBERG 3 competence in understanding the concepts covered in our course, and put this knowledge into some kind of logical and readable coherence according to the question. You are encouraged to compare and contrast at least two authors for each question. Section 2 should be 2-3 pages long. Section 3: Making Contemporary Connections – 4 points Listen to the 50 minute podcast of an interview with host Krista Tippett and American poet Mary Oliver, On Being with Krista Tippett – Mary Oliver: Listening to the World recorded February 5, 2015. A link to this podcast that includes a written interview transcript are under “FINAL EXAM” on Blackboard. WRITE A 1-2 PAGE RESPONSE TO THE FOLLOWING PROMPT: Is Mary Oliver a mystic? Why/why not? The late Mary Oliver was not a member of the Christian Church. She was a prize-winning American poet whose poetry reflects deep engagement with spirituality. Consider in your response whether any of our authors, ideas, vocabulary, etc. resonate or conflict or do not apply (and why) with the content of Oliver’s poetry and thought disclosed in the interview (for instance, as you listened to the interview, did any “bells” go off that reminded you of something in our course?). Put Oliver into conversation with the mystical literature/content you consider appropriate from this semester. Section 3 should be 1-2 pages long. Section 4: Critical Assessment – 4 points WRITE 1-2 PARAGRAPH RESPONSES TO THE FOLLOWING TWO (2) QUESTIONS AS THEY RELATE TO YOUR OWN NOTIONS OF THE HUMAN BEING, GOD, AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO (1-2 pages): (Note: the “why” is the most important part of each question) 1) Which author/text/concept did you find the most difficult or challenging in our course, and why? 2) Which author/text/concept did you find most enlarged your understanding, and why? This is not a “trick” section, where I am looking for flattery, praise, etc. Rather, I am looking for your thoughtful and critical engagement with the course material, demonstrated by your elaboration of the “why,” as it intersects with your own learning and life. Section 4 should be 1-2 pages long. Section 5: Final Task – 4 points SELECT FOUR OF THE ASSIGNED READINGS, LECTURES, VIDEOS, IMAGES, SOUNDS, VOICETHREAD DISCUSSIONS, JOURNALS, QUIZZES, REFLECTION ESSAYS, AND/OR THE BOOK OF ILLUMINATED CHAPTERS CUMULATIVE PROJECT THAT MOST DEEPENED AND PROVOKED YOUR THINKING (this can be positively or negatively), AND BRIEFLY EXPLAIN HOW EACH ONE DID.

1- Race the Power of an Illusion: The Difference Between Us In US society and the world in general, the mythology of race as a biologically based difference has been promoted since the creation of the United States. This film shows us that race is not based on biology. Race is an idea. As the evidence is demonstrated in this film, human genetical articulation is one of the most identical of all other species.2- Race the Power of an Illusion: The Story We TellThe US is a settler colonial country. Powerful white men using weapons conquered and confiscated land from native americans. They also were able to bring captured Africans to use as slaves. To justify there behavior they created a story. This means history as we have been told is actually his-story.3- Race The Power of an Illusion: The House We Live In SummaryIn this film we arrive at the 20th century and how racism and wealth creation were systematically mapped to exclude African Americans from having the opportunity to have ownership of a house. The supreme court, the federal government openly participate in the creation of whiteness by excluding people of color from citizenship and wealth acquisition. They do that by arbitrarily deciding who can be a citizen who can enjoy there full rights and who cannot.4- True Colors SummaryThe reality of this film in the late 20th century shows how whiteness provides a quality of life that is clearly distinguishable form a person who is black. Two individuals one who is white and one who is black share what happens to them living in a midwestern city5- Michelle Alexander at Riverside SummaryWatch the video of Michelle Alexander on Jim Crow Caste System and write a comprehensive summary on the key concepts and facts of the film.Michelle Alexander brilliantly illustrates how institutional racism in its new mutated form reeks catastrophic havoc in the lives of millions of African Americans who are doomed to substandard dehumanized drudgery of non-citizenship. The new Jim Crow unleashes a level of destruction very much akin to the period of slavery in the United States.6- Harriet Washington on Medical Apartheid SummaryIn this video Harriet Washington discusses the history and ongoing maltreatment of black people in the medical field.All papers should be typed in a document using 12-point font and double spaced, and we’re looking for quality content that demonstrates you understood the material more than focusing on page length, though you should get as close as you can to page requirements Here’s a brief example guide for writing papers: (this is not a required outline, only a guide in case anyone needs it, you may write any way you chose that gets the information presented for the particular assignment across)Title of assignment handout/filmMain points, ideas, factsWhat and who does this benefitWhat and who does it cause harm How does it function, what’s its impact (using the lens of this class)Thoughts/reflection on topic
