Question 1

Paragraph 1 Write 8-10 sentence of this homework

Paragraph 2 write 5 sentence of another student write

 

Discussion Forum 2 – Ethical Dilemmas

See the following three dilemmas below. For this discussion forum you will need to do a post that includes your thoughts on each dilemma. In order to make this clear, you will need to post three times.

In the subject headings, use Dilemma 1, Dilemma 2, and Dilemma 3. You will need to write only write at minimum five sentences for each one and cite for each one (like you did for Week 1 but this time, you do have to do 3 separate posts). Since this requires a little more work, you do still need to reply to at least one Dilemma 1, Dilemma 2, and Dilemma 3 but your replies can be one or two sentences noting if you agree or disagree with classmates.

So, how to do you survive (perform at full credit) for this discussion forum?

· Post three times on your own, One post should be Dilemma 1, One post should be Dilemma 2, and one post should be Dilemma 3. You do need to include a citation in each dilemma. Since this requires a little more work, you only need to write 4 sentences for each post (more is always welcome).

· After you have posted your thoughts on each dilemma, you do need to reply to at least one student on Dilemma 1, Dilemma 2, and Dilemma 3 but replies can be two sentences.

See Rubric Below for how this assignment will be evaluated/graded.

 

Dilemma 1

Mary Thompson had been conducting fieldwork in a Southeast Asian community for 18 months. Her house was ideally located on the edge of the village plaza, allowing her to readily observe daily activities that took place in the plaza. In addition to gatherings of women who shared food preparation tasks and talk, and groups of men working individually on carvings, the plaza was regularly a gathering place for men at night.

One night while Thompson was working up some statistical problems in her house, she was distracted by loud, seemingly argumentative discussions in the plaza. When the noise of the argument reached a high pitch, she decided to investigate the situation. Just as she stepped from her doorway, she saw one of the men in the group of five, angrily raise his machete and deliver a deadly blow to another–Tom–in the group. Stunned silence fell over the other three men, as they watched their companion quickly bleed to death before their eyes. Moments later people from the other homes began moving into the plaza in response to the wailing that came from the man who had wielded the machete. Mournful crying and wailing was carried throughout the village. The family members of the dead man carried him to their home and began funeral preparations. The next evening, Tom was buried. The man who had dealt the deadly blow was allowed to participate in the funeral and to make a death payment to the family of the deceased.

Two days after the funeral, three regional policemen came to the village. As part of a new governmental program designed to reduce blood feuds, the regional authorities now regularly sought to arrest and jail people who were involved in killings. They had heard about the recent death.

They began questioning the villagers in an attempt to determine if Tom had been “murdered.” Thompson had written a detailed description of the events of the night of Tom’s death in her notebook which contained a running record of village activities.

Thompson’s Dilemma: (1) Since she knew the police would question her, should she quickly tear out and destroy the pages in her notebook where the events were recorded? (2) When questioned by the police should she, like the other villagers, plead ignorance concerning the killing?

 

Dilemma 2

Rose Stone moved into an urban ghetto in order to study strategies for survival used by low-income residents. During the first six months of research, Stone was gradually integrated into the community through invitations (which she accepted) to attend dances, parties, church functions, and family outings, and by “hanging out” at local service facilities (laundromats, health centers, recreation centers, and so on). She was able to discern that there were two important survival tactics used by the community residents which she could not engage in: the first was a system of reciprocity in the exchange of goods and services (neither of which she felt she had to offer), and the second was outright theft of easily pawned or sold goods (clothing, jewelry, radios, TVs, and so on).

One night, a friend from the community stopped by “for a cup of coffee” and conversation. After they had been talking for about two hours, Stone’s friend told her that she had some things she wanted to give her. The friend went out to her car and returned with a box of clothing (Stone’s size) and a record player. Stone was a bit overwhelmed by the generosity of the gift and protested her right to accept such costly items. Her friend laughed and said, “Don’t you worry, it’s not out of my pocket,” but then she became more serious and said, “Either you are one of us or you aren’t one of us. You can’t have it both ways. ”

Stone’s Dilemma: Suspecting that the items she was being offered were probably “hot” (e.g., stolen), she was afraid that if she wore the clothes in public, or had the record player in her apartment, she would be arrested for “accepting stolen goods.” At the same time, she knew that “hot” items were often given to close friends when it was observed that they could use them. Still, this implied that there would be reciprocal giving (not necessarily in kind) at a later date. So, should she accept or refuse the proffered gifts?

 

Dilemma 3

Mickey Jordan had developed a collaborative social-impact assessment project involving two colleagues and three students. The six-person team was responsible for collecting field data in a wide geographical area at some distance from their university. Each person was responsible for a specific region. The data were fed, by region, into a computer on a weekly basis and monthly meetings were held so that progress reports could be made by team members. At these meetings, names of individuals who had been interviewed during the preceding period were given as a means of checking off the list of identified community specialists, so that the overall progress of the project could be ascertained. Information filed in the computer did not contain informants’ names or other identifiers, as a measure for maintaining confidentiality and anonymity of informants. Each member of the team was paid by the funds made available through a contract with a federal agency (the faculty members were able to buy release time from teaching with contract funds).

Jordan had an occasion to be in the region assigned to one of the faculty members, Brian Cash, and happened to find himself talking with one of Cash’s reported informants, Henry Jones. Jordon took the opportunity to ask Jones for clarification of reported data that had puzzled him. Jones appeared confused and asked Jordan why he was asking him “these questions.” Jordan explained that he had been curious about specific details of Cash’s report and thought this would be an opportune time to get further information. Jones said that he had never heard of Brian Cash, much less having ever talked to him, and furthermore he did not even know a research project was being conducted in his community.

Jordan’s Dilemma: Should he accept Jones’s statement as a denial of participation in the project to maintain anonymity? Should he accuse Jones of lying? Should he drop the matter for the moment and later tell Cash about the incident? Perhaps Cash had lied about interviewing Jones? Should be confront Cash with this suspicion? Since it was some distance to the field site from the university, should he [Jordan] now seek out other informants Cash had reported on to determine whether or not they had been interviewed? Or, were there other tactics to be employed?

After you have posted your opinion on the discussion forum, you may want to go to the  American Anthropological Association Website on Ethics  to view their responses.

ANOTHER STUDENT WRITE

I  think that Rose was put into a very tough situation. Rose wants to see how the low income residents survive. If she were to accept this gift and “become one of them” she would be able to get a better look at how they do survive. If she were to accept it though, I think she may end up getting herself in too deep and people may end up asking her to become part of thefts and if she declines she could potentially get hurt. I think it is in her best interest to decline the gift. If people start to question her, I think it would be smart on her part if she relocate to another low income area to see their way of survival.

Another student write

This article is about sexual abuse with children and how common it is in all areas of the world. Sexual abuse is a growing concern. Children are young, and are often way too scared to report the things that have happened to them because they are embarrassed of what people might think or of someone not believing them. This article talks about people coming together and sticking up for sexual abuse and how it makes it easier to charge people that are doing the abuse. They are also making it easier for children to come and turn people in. There is something called global alliance that was launched in 2012, and it is used to raise standards worldwide and unite efforts around the world to more effectively combat online sexual crimes against children.

Assignment 3: Artifact Paper (25%)

When you submit your paper to assignments, it is automatically submitted to Turnitin.

Keep in mind stronger (“A”) papers will exceed the minimum requirements noted below. For specifics see the grading rubric below.

Task: To Investigate: Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? And then, Analyze!

You will write a 4-page, single-spaced (specifically 2,400 words minimum) paper in which you examine a form of a tangible gender communication (an artifact) i.e. TV episode, newspaper article, movie, song/music video, photograph, magazine, exhibit, advertisement, social media group or exchange, interview etc. You will give a clear description of your artifact answering thoroughly Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How. You will then analyze your example employing AT LEAST 4 concepts from our weekly readings, modules (commentaries), and/or discussions.

Introduction (1/3 of a page minimum/specifically 200 words minimum):

A creative opening and attention getter A strong thesis statement that clearly articulates your major claim of the paper A clear preview statement that shows how you will organize your paper

Body (3 pages, single-spaced minimum/specifically 1,800 words minimum see the breakdown for each of the three sections of the body below):

You should thoroughly introduce your artifact using who, what, where, when, and how (400 words minimum). Please give any background information you have about it such as when did it appear, how was it delivered, what is it about, why was it made, when was it made, what was the context in which the artifact emerged – controversy, situation, audience? After this description, your reader should clearly understand it as a piece of gender communication.

Definitions of at least 4 concepts (minimum) you have chosen (use scholarly sources specific to the discipline of communication to define your concepts) (400 words minimum). A discussion that connects your chosen concepts to your artifact (1,000 words minimum).

Questions to answer for each concept in your analysis (you may add additional questions as well): Why/How does the concept relate to your artifact? How does the artifact fit in, further, or work against other scholarly work you found? (Use peer-reviewed journal articles) What were the responses to this artifact and how does that relate to the concepts/research you have found?

Implications/Conclusion (2/3 page minimum/specifically 400 words minimum):

A brief restatement of what you did in the paper.

Most importantly here is the discussion of so what? Why does your analysis matter? To gender communication studies? As part of larger implications for society? Bring closure to your submission

Sources: You should have a MINIMUM of six current sources (stronger papers will have more):

One must be your readings or modules/commentaries (you may use more but you still must meet the other source requirements as well) Two can be popular press sources Three MUST BE peer-reviewed journal articles on communication Four of your sources must come from UMGC’s online library Proper APA in-text citations should be provided in addition to a reference page with full APA source citations.

Persuasive Essay About “Organ Donation”

/in /by

Please read the guidelines I attached first carefully.

there’s 4 articles I attached also.

 

FOUR full double-spaced typed pages MINIMUM (NOT 3-1/2 or 3-3/4). The fourth page must be a full page. Short papers will be downgraded. (Your APA “References” list is a separate, fifth page.)

I want you to use at least two and no more than three of the above sources
You may use one additional source that you research yourself, but most of your essay should rely on the above sources.

WOODBURY UNIVERSITY

WRIT 100 Bridge to Academic Writing

 

Prof. Laurel DiGangi

laurel.digangi@woodbury.edu (best way to contact)

 

Formal Essay #5– Persuasive Essay (examining a problem and offering a solution)

 

FOUR full double-spaced typed pages MINIMUM (NOT 3-1/2 or 3-3/4). The fourth page must be a full page. Short papers will be downgraded. (Your APA “References” list is a separate, fifth page.)

 

Learning objectives:

· How to write a persuasive essay.

· How to organize a persuasive essay.

· How to support your ideas with evidence from reliable sources.

· How to document your sources with APA style and credit other writers by using signal phrases, in-text citations and a References list.

· How to paraphrase without plagiarizing, and how to use quotes appropriately.

 

Sources:

The following essays posted on Moodle under “Four Readings on Organ Donation for Essay #5”

· “The Meat Market”

· “The Case for Mandatory Organ Donations”

· “Yes, Let’s Pay for Organs”

· “The Surgery Was Simple; the Process Is Another Story”

· You are also allowed to use the video we viewed in class, “Giving the Gift of Life through Organ Donation: Chris Barry at TEDxFlourCity.” This video is posted on Moodle under

“In-Class Exercises.”

I want you to use at least two and no more than three of the above sources You may use one additional source that you research yourself, but most of your essay should rely on the above sources provided on Moodle.

 

Your Assignment:

For this essay, I want you to explain a specific problem (lack of organ donors) to your readers so that they understand why this issue is important. Your thesis will then offer a solution to this problem, based on one or more of the sources above. Basically, you are using the sources as evidence to support your own claim. Your solution can relate to “opt out” programs, mandatory donations, compensation (financial or otherwise), or various educational/promotional programs (be specific).

 

Your essay will explain why organ donation is important, but that should not be its thesis. Your thesis must argue for a specific solution (or solutions) to the problem of too few organ donors. (Note: “everyone should donate” is too general and doesn’t offer a real solution. A real solution proposes how we can encourage/force more people to donate.) Your solution has to utilize some of the ideas suggested in the readings above, as well as any of your own original ideas. Your body paragraphs must support your thesis by explaining your solution in detail. You will use your own ideas and evidence from two or three of the sources above to support your thesis.

 

Additional Requirements:

Aim for a balance of paraphrasing and quotes. You should have no more than two quotes per page, and your quotes should not be more than two lines long. Most of your essay will be paraphrasing the sources and expressing your own ideas.

 

Use APA style for in-text citations and your References list. The title and copyright pages of the book the Moodle readings originally came from are also posted on Moodle. Please cite these readings as if you were working from the actual book. Additional instructions about APA style will be provided in class.

This essay assignment is worth a total of 225 points. DUE DATES for each step are listed on your syllabus.

 

Final essay 200 pts. maximum (graded on syllabus rubric)

Prewrite 10 pts. maximum

In-class peer review 10 pts. maximum (student must be in class with 3 copies; must have total required pages to earn full points.
