Reflection Essay 3 : Choose only ONE of the two topics below (doing both will not give you any additional points). Remember that Reflection Essays don't need to be any more than a single page long. And if you can get to the heart of the issue, a paragraph may be enough. Just make sure to address the topic as completely as you can within those constraints. ESSAY A: Describe what “emic” and “etic” mean in terms of cultural interaction. Give an example of yourself as “emic” and of an experience in which you have felt “etic.” OR discuss the four basic instrument categories, and give examples of each one, identifying its subcategory within that larger category, and why it would be classified that way. OR: ESSAY B: Write a brief overview of totemism and animism; make sure to show how they differ and where they overlap. Describe (and provide examples if you can) of how these belief systems consider the reality of an unseen world being tied to the physical and visible world we share as humans. Previous Next .

Reflection Essay 3Choose only ONE of the two topics below (.docx

PAGE 3 Final “Summary Reflection” Essay Topic Possibilities: This essay is due Wednesday, April 19th Instructions: Choose one of the following topics and write your essay in accordance with the guidelines regarding the structure and the content of “summary reflection” essays I posted separately on Blackboard. Possible Topics: 1) At the beginning of Plato's Meno, Meno offers Socrates several definitions of virtue or arete. None of the definitions satisfy Socrates. Reviewing the definitions and Socrates' responses to them, what seems to be the major fault of each in Socrates' eyes? Do you think Socrates is raising legitimate objections to the definitions? Why or why not? Discuss as critically and creatively as possible. 2) In his attempt to refute Meno's definition of virtue as "the desire of things honorable and the power of attaining them," Socrates argues that "no one desires that which is evil." Explain the definition and Socrates' refutation of it in detail. What is Socrates' argument exactly, and how does it serve to show that Meno's definition is inadequate? Do you think Socrates' argument is legitimate? Why or why not? Discuss as critically and creatively as possible. 3) After attempting to define "virtue" unsuccessfully, Meno finally gives up and admits that he does not know what virtue is. Socrates then invites Meno to join a mutual inquiry regarding the nature of virtue. At this suggestion, Meno introduces a paradox which, if legitimate, would make inquiry into the nature of virtue impossible. What is the paradox, and how does Socrates respond to it? What do you think of Socrates' response? How, in other words, do you read the nature and the significance of Socrates' notion of "learning as recollection"? Discuss as critically and creatively as possible. 4) After arguing that all learning is recollection, Socrates lets Meno talk him into an investigation of the teach-ability of virtue. How does Socrates approach this question, and what seems to be his ultimate answer? Do you think the answer Meno and Socrates give to the problem is the answer Plato wants us to accept? Explain your answer, and in the process, discuss, if you wish, how you think virtue is acquired. Discuss as critically and creatively as possible. 5) One of the key implications of Plato's famous "Parable of the Cave" (despite it's rather tragic ending) is that true freedom involves attaining knowledge of ultimate reality – (otherwise, we will be perpetually enslaved to the "shadows on the wall" which are no more than illusions). In other words, Plato would have us believe that enlightenment is liberating. Of course, this notion is famously captured by the phrase, "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Considering this general viewpoint, t.

The text discusses “Theoretical Perspectives in Sociology” in chapter 2. As a student, you sociologically view the world in a particular way. Do you see the world as a place where things simply “work out” (structural functionalism), or is it constantly in conflict (conflict theory)? Perhaps you see the world primarily as a place that is about relationships between people (symbolic interactionism). Write an essay (750-1,000 words) that addresses the following: Define and explain the three ways to view the world “sociologically.” Identify which sociological perspective (structural functionalism, conflict theory, symbolic interactionism) most closely represents your view of the world. Describe the factors that have caused you to view the world through that perspective, such as personal experience in our society, popular culture, media, etc. In addition, use an example from world events that demonstrates evidence of your theory. Briefly explain why you did not choose each of the other two perspectives being careful to demonstrate that you understand the other perspectives. APA format .

Group 3 (Interpretation)

Jacques de Beaufort

This document provides instructions for a group assignment to interpret an artwork. Students are asked to choose one of the works listed and write a formal interpretation analyzing how the work affects them and identifying meaningful themes and ideas. They should use three strategies of criticism discussed in class - formal, sociocultural, and expressive theories. The interpretation should examine the work beyond just visual characteristics and consider how it relates to their own experiences and others. Students should address at least three categories that provide historical context about the work's creation, such as politics, philosophy, religion, the artist, geography, and cultural values of the time period. The objective is to demonstrate an understanding of interpretation and how a work generates meaning through various lenses.

First writing assignmentWrite a narrative summary of your notes d.docx

houndsomeminda

First writing assignment: Write a narrative summary of your notes describing what you experienced. Then, explain how each of the three sociological perspectives (structural-functionalism, symbolic interactionism, and social conflict) would analyze what you say. Your description of your observation should represent about 50% of your paper and your analysis another 50%, divided evenly between the three perspectives. At the end of your paper, discuss which perspective you think is the best suited to analyze your observation and why you think so. Short definitions: Structural functionalism = stability, survival, efficiency, predictability >> society Conflict = contradictions in society such as we are all equal but society is stratified (not equal) >> stress on members Symbolic interaction = meanings… how do we create meanings so that we can interact Example: Simple observation : I see a homeless man sitting by the side of the road and someone stops and yells get a job. Paradigm (theoretical approaches) Interpretations : Functionalism : Economics is an important part of the society and provides jobs. Part of our non-material (values, ideas, ideology) culture rests on the idea of hard work. This man is failing his responsibility to the society. Conflict : Although we state we are an equal society, not everyone has the same life chances (Weber). Some events may have given this man less opportunity or some structures of society deny him opportunity. We should correct the contradictions and find a way to help this member of the society. However, others may argue that he has plenty of opportunity and is not trying (probably a functionalist). Symbolic Interaction : What symbols and meanings are in play? Why do I think one man is homeless? Dress? Demeanor? What symbols and meanings is the “yelling man” using? What does this tell me about myself and society? SI is about how we interpret our world. Culture (material and non-material) and socialization as well as social control are important contributors when we think, react, and behave. Your observation paper should contain this type of analysis but to a greater degree. .

THE PURPOSE Knowledge After completing this assignment, .docx

oscars29

THE PURPOSE: Knowledge: After completing this assignment, you will understand: 1) The scope and diversity of psychology as a discipline. 2) How psychologists working from different philosophical and theoretical perspectives make different contributions to our understanding of particular psychological topics. Skills: After completing this assignment, you will be able to: 1) Assess the strengths and weaknesses of various explanations for your topic. 2) Explain how the Integration and/or competition between explanations from various perspectives helps psychology advance our understanding of human behavior and mental processing. YOUR TASK: Your task is to select ONE psychological topic you find particularly interesting. This may be a topic we have covered in the course or a psychological topic we have not covered. You will then examine this topic from three different philosophical or theoretical perspectives within psychology. For example, you could examine your topic from any of the following philosophical perspectives: physiological, behavioral, cognitive, social, humanistic, evolutionary, psychoanalytic, etc). Alternatively, you could opt to examine your topic more specifically using three different theories, which may or may not differ in their philosophical perspectives. For example, imagine that you choose “bullying” as your topic. You could examine how bullying is explained from a biological, behavioral, and social perspective (three different philosophical perspectives). Alternatively, you could choose to examine how three different theories attempt to explain bullying. Two of these theories might be theories from a “social” perspective and one might be a theory from a “biological” perspective. In either case, you must utilize and cite original sources for those perspectives in your analysis/discussion. This means that you must research your topic to find three different explanations for your topic. Your analysis cannot be based on personal opinion alone. Write-up: Your write-up should begin with a general overview of your topic and the reasons why it is particularly interesting or relevant to you. This introduction should be followed by an analysis of your topic from three different philosophical or theoretical perspectives. Your analysis should demonstrate a general understanding of your topic and the fundamental principles used by each philosophical or theoretical perspective to explain that topic (using at least three academic sources outside of your textbook as source material). In addition, you should discuss whether the explanations offered by the different perspectives are complimentary to one another or contradict one another. Finally, your analysis should include your own personal reflection of these perspectives and an informed assessment of what you see as the strengths and weaknesses of each based on your research of them. THE CRITERIA: Review the grading criteria for this .

riting About LiteratureGenerally, the essays you write in litera.docx

daniely50

riting About Literature Generally, the essays you write in literature courses attempt to answer interesting questions about works of literature. These questions are interesting for at least two reasons: a) their answers are not obvious, and b) their answers (or at least the attempt to answer them) can enrich other readers’ understanding and experience of those works of literature. Often works of literature seem to be intentionally posing these questions to us; they require us to do some work to get them to work. Readers have asked many different types of questions of works of literature, for example: What did the author want to communicate in this work? What does the work reveal about the author’s feelings, opinions, or psychology? What does the work reveal about the society in which it was written? What can we learn from this work about the issues or topics it deals with? What motivates the characters in the work to behave as they do? How are literary devices used in the work? How does the work create emotional or intellectual experiences for its readers? Is this work good or bad? Is this work good or bad for its readers? Some of these questions require information from outside the text itself; for example, to argue that a work reveals a writer’s psychological condition, it would be helpful to have some other evidence of that condition to corroborate your interpretation of the work of literature. Some of these questions ask about the world outside the work—about the author, his/her society, or our own society, for example—while others try to focus more on the features of the work itself. Analyses which try to make statements about the work itself is often called formalist criticism: it attends more to the structures and strategies employed in the work. Ultimately, such arguments generally do try to move beyond the work, to claim, for instance, that it is likely to create certain effects in its readers, or that readers will understand the writer’s intent more clearly if they pay attention to its formal characteristic. In LIT 100, we are going to be paying attention primarily to these formal features of literary works. In fiction, some of these features include tone, point of view, setting, character, etc. We will be paying less attention to extra-textual features, such as the author’s biography or the historical contexts in which the literature was produced and/or read; these elements are not less important than formal features, but they naturally vary greatly from one work to another and often require in-depth study to truly appreciate. To understand how Shakespeare’s social situation in London in the 1590s might have been reflected in his plays would require a whole course in Elizabethan history. On the other hand, the formal features we will be studying in this course can be found in literature of all eras and genres, though they may often be used to different effect by different writers at different times. Almost all fict.

Unit Two Workshop and EssayIntro to PhilosophyInstructions.docx

ouldparis

Unit Two Workshop and Essay Intro to Philosophy Instructions In the second unit in this class, we have focused on two things; we’ve looked at various texts in which the authors argue for a specific view on the mind-body problem and we have attempted to identify and report arguments. This assignment will bring these together. You are asked to consider the following question: how is the mind related to the body or brain? Ok, now that you’ve sorted that out, consider the passages below the instructions, from several of our our authors, namely, Descartes, Papineau, or Jackson. For this essay, you must consider one of these authors. Re-read the passage I have provided, in which he or she answers one of the above two questions. You might find that the author really answers both questions at the same time, or not. Having re-read the passage, you must next try to find not only the author's answer(s) to the above question(s), but the reasons offered in support of his view. What you must write in your Blue Book: Now - and only now! — is it time to write. Here is what your paper must contain: 1. First, identify which author you’ll be considering. 2. You must next state, clearly, simply, and accurately, what your chosen author would say in response to the above questions. This should not be more than a single paragraph — get to the point! This might even be called your thesis or controlling idea. It’s the idea you’ll be exploring in the rest of the paper. 3. Next provide the reasons why the author believes what you have just claimed he does. Consider no more than one reason per paragraph. So, if you find three reasons, then write at least three paragraphs for this part. 4. In each paragraph, explain each reason simply, clearly, and accurately. Then elaborate a bit on what that means and try to show why or how it supports the main claim, How does this reason help him or her? 5. You must also provide evidence! That is, you must provide textual evidence supporting your claim that the authors in question really has this reason you’re discussing. The best and easiest way to do this is to quote, briefly and accurately, the sentence in which the author actually says the reason, from the passage I provided. Then restate it in your own words, explaining the passage as I described in number 4, just above. Remember, though, the evidence does not speak for itself. You must interpret and explain it. But you also must remain true to the text you’re discussing and the textual evidence will make that happen. 6. Ideally, the reasons you present will indeed be relevant to the main claim you presented (i.e., the answer you claim your author would give to the question(s) above). Don’t provide reasons that are irrelevant or even contrary to the main claim! You are trying to support it, remember. Also note that all of this is reporting what the author said, not what you think. 7. Finally, evaluate what you have just said. The author said it, but is it right? Do ...

Essays Questions1. There are several consequences of relativi.docx

SANSKAR20

Essays Questions: 1. There are several consequences of relativism that we find unacceptable: lack of justification for criticism of other cultures, lack of justification for civil disobedience or moral law, and absence of justification for moral reformation. Explain why, as a result of accepting relativism, we are no longer able to offer justification for any of these practices. What do you think about these consequences— that is, are they severe enough that we should dismiss relativism as an untenable theory? 2. Explain the differences between subjectivism, ethical relativism, and emotivism by way of an example. That is, think of an example of a moral evaluation of an action, and provide an analysis of how each theory would explain the function, or meaning, of the moral evaluation. Then, choose a single theory, and explain one objection to that theory in your own words. 3. Give a detailed account of the differences between the varieties of objectivism we studied: divine command theory, natural law theory, and moderate objectivism. Specifically, explain how each theory would treat the moral principle: do not murder. What is the status of the moral principle, and how is it justified? Which of the three objectivist theories do you find most compelling, and why? 4. Natural law theory has several complexities that we discussed in class: teleological view of nature and man, the emphasis on rationality, and necessitation of free will. Explain in detail these elements of natural law theory, and how they come together to provide us with an objective morality. Provide an example of a moral standard that would be accepted by this theory, and how it would be justified. The Essay answer must be only 1 page no more and no citation needed. Example of how to apply the answers. Ex. Essay 4: Introduction. (what natural theory are) what and how you explained to me. Description of natural law theory. (Booth Introduction & Description.

End of Term Paper The paper requires you to reflect on a problem an.docx

christinemaritza

End of Term Paper: The paper requires you to reflect on a problem and to explain how some contrasting philosophical positions relate to it. The paper also requires you to take a critical stance. A paper assignment will be posted on Canvas well before the paper's due date. This paper is of moderate length (1,800 - 2,000 words). (Choose one of the prompts below.) Prompt 1: The problem: The relationship between the mind and the body The opposing philosophical positions: Cartesian Dualism and Physicalism (Use both Ryle and Putnam) - You will 1) Summarize both positions, 2) Explain the arguments for and against each opposing position (why does their position do a better job explaining the mind. You may use Nagel’s arguments in this part), 3) Offer your own assessment of the dialectic using your own examples and reasoning; which side you think offers a more plausible model of the mind and why? Prompt 2: The problem: What makes our actions moral? The opposing philosophical positions: Utilitarianism (use Bentham) and Kantianism. - You will 1) Summarize both positions, 2) explain how and when each position differs from one another with respect to their judgments of the moral worth of actions. Describe examples where they come to different conclusions. 3) Offer your own assessment of the dialectic by discussing which theory offers more or less plausible grounds for justifying our actions. You may end up siding with one over the other, agreeing with both, or disagreeing with both. Make sure to focus on the reasons why you came to this conclusion. Prompt 3: The problem: What aspects of our identity are fundamental to understanding what makes us a rational person? The (potentially) opposing philosophical positions: The Kantian account of personhood and the situated personhood of social epistemology. - You will 1) Summarize Kant’s account of what it is to be a person. Then, explain the importance of aspects of our situated identity in Mills’ and Fricker’s accounts of ignorance and responsibly listening to testimony. Offer your own assessment of each point of view and argue whether, with respect to understanding what we need to do in order to be rationality, these points of view are more likely to be incompatible or compatible. Make sure to focus on the reasons why you came to this conclusion .
