This Research Paper (Assignment 4) is very standard in format. It will be an 8-10 page paper using 5 sources. Sources should (but do not HAVE to) come from the HACC Library, either books/materials from one of the physical library buildings on campus or journal articles and other sources from the Library’s electronic databases.  Again, many of you will find the database Academic Search Complete extremely useful for your project (see 6.6 for info on how to access ASC).  The previous Unit of work will have given you everything you need to begin this research process, but HACC’s wonderful librarians and I will be delighted to offer help and support as you work. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. If you can’t at first find many sources using the HACC Library, I ask that you try again using different “keyword” searches in Academic Search Complete (see Unit 6).  If, after doing this, you still cannot find adequate sources, use the Library homepage to contact a Librarian and ask for help.  If, finally, you still cannot find the five sources in the HACC library, you may supplement one or two sources from other venues.  If you do this, you are responsible for evaluating the quality of the sources.  What are the credentials of the author?  What is the reputation of the publication in which the source appears? These are the sort of questions you will need to ask of each source before using them in your essay.  Your Research Paper will be argument-driven (just as Assignment 3 was), and will focus on an event/issue in the headlines during the month and year you were born. You can focus on the event in a purely isolated or historical way, or tie it in with contemporary events by showing how an issue has developed over time or an event played out in the following decades You must offer an in-text citation whenever you: i) Quote directly from a secondary source ii) Paraphrase a secondary source iii) Use specific pieces of information (statistics, data, etc.) found in a secondary source Please use MLA format.  My topic is on the “Sega Dreamcast”, the gaming console that came out in September, 1999.  Please also include a thesis in the writing, and be sure to briefly answer your question right away.  That answer will become your thesis.  How did the Dreamcast shape the gaming world?  What is its legacy?

Read and critically analyze “Eating Christmas in the Kalahari” by Richard Lee.  Natural History. 1969.  A scholarly essay (approximately 500-750 words) is to be constructed addressing the following questions. 1.    To which field of anthropology would this article be assigned? Why? (one to two sentences) 2.    Which other anthropology field could it be assigned? Why? (one to two sentences) 3.    How does it apply to class lecture with specific and detailed examples? (six to ten sentences) 4.    How can the information discussed apply to your Personal or Professional and/or Academic/Social experiences in the world? (four to six sentences) 5.    Discuss a particular point that you found interesting. Why? (two to four sentences) •    Works cited must be in APA citation format at the end of the paper. •    Points will be deducted from the assignment grade for gross proofreading errors (varies according to level of errors).     While writing the essay be sure to include the answers to the following questions but also try to “think outside the box”. Do not limit answers to the obvious, superficial response. Stretch your intellect to explore other areas of lecture and test to see if they apply to these particular articles. The expectation for the essay is coherent, logical, relevant arguments and insights to fully demonstrate the student’s mastery of the anthropological concepts discussed in this unit.

Your lecture notes from the recorded lecture (Chapter 12) and Chapter 12 of the textbook (pp. 190-207) will help you complete the assignment. This assignment is worth 15 points and each question is worth 5 points. Your answer to each question should be 3-5 sentences. Make sure that you answer each part of the question. 1. Watch the You Tube video, COVID-19 and Public Health: A Message from Crash Course [13:50] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4rcv3p7AYg 2. Using the Mechanisms Shaping Observational Learning four subfunctions (attentional processes, retention processes, behavior production processes, and motivational processes), describe and provide examples for how each of the subfunctions were demonstrated in the video. Did this video reinforce or change your current behaviors relating to COVID-19? [4 points for describing each of the subfunctions; 4 points for illustrating each of the subfunctions; 2 points for thoughtfully commenting with examples about the reinforcement or change of your current behaviors relating to COVID-19 = 10 points] 3. The purpose of this video was both entertainment-educational. Entertainment-education is “the process of purposely designing and implementing a media message to both entertain and educate, in order to increase audience members’ knowledge about an educational issue, create favorable attitudes, shift social norms, and change overt behavior” (Singhal & Rogers, 2004, p.5). Using this definition as your framework, identify and describe how the “COVID-19 and Public Health” video used two of the following elements in its storyline: reactance, psychological reactance, perceived persuasive intent, counterarguing, and transportation. Was this video effective in both educating and entertaining you about the COVID-19 virus and the desired behaviors expressed? [3 points for identifying, describing, and illustrating the elements; 2 points for commenting with examples about the entertainment-educational effectiveness of the video = 5]

JK Galbraith claims that economic ideas have “accommodated” changing  politics. What does he mean? Do you think he is correct? How might economic ideas about the environment have “accommodated” trends in environmental politics? The primary criteria used in evaluating written work will be:  1) Mechanics: Your work must be completely free of grammatical errors, spelling errors, or major factual errors. References can be in any style but the same format must be used consistently and they must be accurate.  2) Writing style: Your papers should be written in a clear and unambiguous style which assists, rather than impedes, communication with the reader.  3) Structure: Your written work should have a clear focus, provided by the research question, and a structure which logically flows from that focus.  4)Precision and accuracy: Precision means saying exactly and specifically what you mean, avoiding ambiguity and vague generalities. Accuracy refers to the absence of major factual errors.

Write a 4-6 page essay-style answer to one of the following questions:Question I: Plato’s PhaedoWhat does Simmias mean when he compares the soul to a harmony or attunement? Why does this comparison present a problem for Socrates in the Phaedo? How does Socrates respond to Simmias’ challenge? Is Socrates’ response convincing, in your view? Explain.This assignment involves three tasks:Task 1Explain in detail Simmias’ conception of the soul as a harmony or attunement. What are the relevant similarities between a harmony and the soul, on this picture? How does Simmias’ comparison present a problem for Socrates in the Phaedo? In other words, why can’t Socrates simply accept Simmias’ comparison? Explain.Task 2In the Phaedo, Socrates gives four distinct reasons to doubt Simmias’ conception of the soul as a harmony or attunement. Discuss two of these reasons. Why does Socrates doubt that Simmias’ conception of the soul is apt? Your job here is to explain whatever two reasons you selected as thoroughly as you can.Task 3Finally, your job here is to focus on one of the reasons you discussed in Task 2, and to develop a response to it on Simmias’ behalf. Imagine that you are a participant in the dialogue. How would you come to Simmias’ defense, if you had to? For example, do you think that one of Socrates’ reasons relies on an error or a confusion of some kind? If so, then explain the error or confusion as thoroughly as you can.Question II: Plato’s Republic, Book 2In Book 2 of the Republic, Glaucon argues that everyone who practices justice does so “unwillingly” (358c). In your view, what does Glaucon mean by this? How does Glaucon support this part of his position? Reconstruct Glaucon’s case with numbered premises. Does his argument succeed, in your view? Explain. This assignment involves three tasks:Task 1First, interpret Glaucon’s thesis, explaining its key terms. In particular, what does Glaucon mean by “justice”? And what does he mean by the term “unwillingly”? Defend your interpretation with textual evidence. Task 2Begin by reconstructing the argument found at 359b-360d. Number your premises, stating them as clearly as you can. Make sure to list only those premises you take to be essential for generating the conclusion. The conclusion of the argument should also be clear in your reconstruction. Next, identify what support (if any) you find in the text for each of the premises. What reasons does Glaucon give on behalf of each of the premises in question? Where you find support for the premises to be lacking, provide whatever defence you can for the under-supported premise(s). For clarity’s sake, make sure to refer to the premises according to the numbering you supplied earlier in Task 2.Task 3Finally, you should evaluate Glaucon’s case. Is Glaucon’s argument persuasive, in your view? Do you think it relies on a dubious premise? If so, then identify the premise in question by the numbering you supplied in Task 2. For example, maybe you think Glaucon’s case relies on a questionable thought experiment. If so, then explain where you think the thought experiment goes wrong. On the other hand, maybe you think Glaucon’s argument is sound. If so, then you should develop what you take to be the strongest objection to Glaucon’s argument, and then explain why you think the objection fails. Question III: Plato’s Republic, Book 4According to Socrates in the Republic, how many parts does the soul have, and what are the natures of these parts? What is his method for proving that the soul has precisely this many parts? Develop what you take to be the strongest objection to Socrates’ division of the soul.This assignment involves three tasks:Task 1For Task 1, explain Socrates’ conception of the soul and its parts. What distinguishes each of the soul’s parts? What human motivations do the soul’s parts represent, respectively? Your job here is to outline the model of the soul that Socrates will go on to generate.Task 2Explain Socrates’ method for dividing the soul into parts. To what general principle does Socrates appeal in justifying this method? Next, explain how Socrates applies this method so as to generate the division of soul you outlined in Task 1. What specific cases does Socrates use to prove that the putative parts of soul are in fact distinct?Task 3Develop what you take to be the strongest objection to Socrates’ division of soul. Be sure to make clear the precise character of your objection. For example, do you object to Socrates’ method for dividing the soul (as you explained it in Task 2)? If so, explain as thoroughly as you can your reasons for rejecting this method. Alternatively, maybe you approve of Socrates’ method of division, but you also worry that he is misapplying this method when he divides the soul. If so, then explain as thoroughly as you can where you think Socrates is misapplying his method.Some Instructions:Assignments must be written in 12 pt. font and double-spaced, with one-inch margins and numbered pages. Make sure that your name and student number appear at the top of the first page. Title pages are not necessary.Your introductory paragraph must include a clear thesis statement. A thesis statement has two main components: i) A clear statement of the position you will take in the paper; and ii) a brief, clear outline of the case you will make in support of that position.Make sure to explain any technical terms you use. What constitutes a technical term? Ask yourself the following question: ‘Would a friend of mine who has never taken a philosophy course readily understand what the term means?’ If the answer is no, then it’s a technical term. Explain it.Use direct quotations (i.e. “____”) only on those rare occasions when you want to call attention to the author’s precise wording. Otherwise, explain the reading in your own words and cite accordingly in parentheses or footnotes.Any standard citation style (e.g. APA, MLA, Chicago) is acceptable, but please remain consistent in your paper. Make sure to give citations for Plato’s dialogues using Stephanus numbers (e.g. 434a; 435a-436b). If you have any questions about citations, ask the instructor.
