Lascaux cave paintings 20,000 yrs.
Homo sapiens vs. Neanderthals
� Neanderthals died out less than 30,000 years
ago

& cultural prowess of growing groups of
homo sapiens, made possible by symbolic
thought
Neanderthal symbolic thought

directed by global media empires that rely
on powerful communication technologies
Theme 3
3. The globalization of languages
� Some languages are increasingly used in
international communication while others
disappear
Theme 3: Shifting global
patterns of language use
� The globalization of languages is a process
by which some languages are used more in
international communication while others
decline or disapp.

The document discusses the concept of culture from several perspectives. It defines culture as the shared ways of thinking, acting, and creating material objects that make up a group's way of life. Culture includes both tangible aspects like technology and language, as well as intangible aspects like values and norms. The document examines how culture varies globally and is shaped by factors like economic development and technology. It also discusses the diversity of cultures within societies and debates around concepts like ethnocentrism, cultural relativism, and whether a single global culture is emerging.

It also discusses the diversity of cultures within societies and debates around concepts like ethnocentrism, cultural relativism, and the possibility of a single global culture emerging.
The document outlines the agenda for Session 12 which includes a critical review rubric, discussing cultural diffusion approaches and cultural contact/transfer, watching a documentary on Dadaab refugee camps, and reviewing key concepts from Chapter 5 of the Norton textbook on cultural diffusion, cultural contact/transfer, and shaping landscapes. A guest speaker will also discuss refugees, conflict, and cultural displacement.
This document discusses key concepts related to culture and society. It defines culture as the totality of learned behaviors and beliefs shared by a group of people. A society consists of people who share a common culture and heritage. All societies exhibit certain cultural universals, or practices that meet essential human needs. While cultural practices are universal, how they are expressed varies across cultures. The document also discusses concepts like ethnocentrism, cultural relativism, norms, values, and the role of language and symbols in shaping culture.
This document summarizes a research paper on the backlash against the globalization of language. It begins by discussing how globalization has impacted languages worldwide and caused some languages to decline while others have been influenced by foreign tongues. There is now emerging dominance of English as the global lingua franca, especially in science and academia, which some view negatively as "Americanization." Some cultures strongly resist the spread of English to protect their native language and culture. The paper explores this issue through analysis of sources on language endangerment, death, and politics. It argues that language globalization threatens cultural diversity by making languages homogeneous.
1. The document discusses concepts used in oral literature such as popular culture, discourse, oral testimony, text, and narrative/narration.
2. Popular culture refers to customs, beliefs, and material possessions that are widely accepted by most people in a society. It emerged after WWII due to industrialization and mass media. Discourse involves how people communicate and use language to structure their lives and society. Oral testimony provides verbal statements about past events.
3. These concepts are important for understanding oral literature and the cultures that produce it. Researchers must consider the context and language use within a society to best analyze oral traditions.
The document describes a family trip to Paris, France where they visited several famous landmarks. This includes the Eiffel Tower, Louvre museum, and the Versailles Palace. While touring the palace, the author describes being surprised to find a large sculpture of a balloon dog in the middle of the Hercules Room, an ornate room named after its ceiling painting of Hercules.

Abstract art relies on emotions, designs, shapes and colors rather than exact representation. It comes in various classifications like Abstract Expressionism, Cubism, and Neoplasticism. Abstract Expressionism focuses on spontaneity and showing feeling. Cubism analyzes subjects using geometry. Neoplasticism uses only horizontal and vertical lines with primary colors. Abstract art allows unlimited freedom of expression and interpretation of subjects in a nonrepresentational way.

The document discusses cultural changes that occurred in the United States during the 1960s. During this decade, families began adapting to new technologies while outside, political unrest grew. People began rebelling against social norms and embracing individualism, civil rights, and feminism. One perspective discussed is that these cultural shifts weakened society, while others saw them as important changes. The document then explores some of the key social movements and protests of the 1960s that drove cultural change in the US.
‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ Novel by George Orwell - Purpose of Newspeak.pptxNirav Amreliya
The document summarizes George Orwell's novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four" and discusses the purpose of Newspeak, the official language of the dystopian society Oceania. Newspeak aims to limit freedom of thought and speech by reducing vocabulary over time. Its goal is to make dissenting ideas impossible to express, thus bolstering the totalitarian regime's control over citizens. The summary also briefly outlines some scholars' analyses of how restricting language restricts independent thought and resistance to authoritarian rule.
Cultural anthropology seeks to understand human culture and societies through comparative and holistic study. It examines how cultures form and are expressed through various aspects of human life like beliefs, languages, arts, politics, and economics. Cultural anthropologists use ethnographic fieldwork and cross-cultural comparisons to understand both individual cultures and common patterns in human social and cultural development. The concept of culture is complex, and anthropologists debate how best to define and study it.

Part 1: In a couple of paragraphs, respond to at least two presentations from “My Ethnographic Project” and/or “Conversations in the Disciplines.” What did you learn about these researchers’ approaches to ethnographic research and writing? What did you find most interesting about their topics and/or about their research process?
Part 2: Either expanding on your writing from Tuesday or choosing a different topic, provide a detailed description of your autoethnographic project. In the first paragraph, describe the nature of the personal experience you will draw on in creating this autoethnography and explain its larger sociological importance. In the next paragraph or two, describe how you will use secondary sources and at least one additional research method (interviews and/or observation of a physical or virtual fieldsite) in developing your project. Provide details such as whom you plan to interview and what insight these interviewees can provide, how you will gain access to these fieldsites and a timeline for how you plan to study them, and/or the types of secondary sources (with possible links) that you will find most useful for studying this topic.
Videos about the Ethnographic Process:
1) “My Ethnographic Project,” prepared by DU Professor Alejandro Ceron and three anthropology students:
https://www.duethnographylab.org/
Centering on tattooing, music, food, and epidemiology involving people’s relationships to infected animals, these four short videos give excellent background to the ethnographic process and to what it’s like to develop a topic, to do ethnographic fieldwork, and to write about one’s ethnographic work.
2) “Conversations in the Disciplines,” April 2020. This video of our event from this quarter about ethnographic research contains talks by three ethnographers. Kelly Fayard talks about her work studying her own Native American culture. Alison Krogel talks about her ethnographic work on Quechua poetry and culture. Dinko Hanaan Dinko discusses his ethnography centering on water rights in Ghana.

Culture is the shared knowledge, beliefs, and values that are transmitted between generations through socialization. It includes both ideas and material objects. Culture and social structure are the two key components of society and the foundation of sociology. William Fielding Ogburn described how culture can lag behind technological changes, resulting in conflicts as new innovations are developed faster than traditions and values change. Language plays a central role in socialization according to George Herbert Mead.

Anti-Black Racism In Kathryn Stockett S The Help A Critical Discourse AnalysisAshley Hernandez
This document summarizes a research paper that analyzes the ideological construction of anti-black racism in Kathryn Stockett's novel The Help using Critical Discourse Analysis. It discusses the theoretical frameworks of anti-black racism, critical discourse analysis, and Teun Van Dijk's socio-cognitive approach. Van Dijk's approach analyzes discourse across three dimensions: text, social cognition, and social context. The research paper aims to understand how Stockett ideologically constructs anti-racism in The Help novel through these three dimensions. It uses qualitative methods such as library research and content analysis of the novel to conduct the critical discourse analysis.

Abstract art relies on emotions, designs, shapes and colors rather than exact representation. It comes in various classifications like Abstract Expressionism, Cubism, and Neoplasticism. Abstract Expressionism focuses on spontaneity and showing feeling. Cubism analyzes subjects using geometry. Neoplasticism uses only horizontal and vertical lines with primary colors. Abstract art allows unlimited freedom of expression and interpretation of subjects in a nonrepresentational way.

The document discusses cultural changes that occurred in the United States during the 1960s. During this decade, families began adapting to new technologies while outside, political unrest grew. People began rebelling against social norms and embracing individualism, civil rights, and feminism. One perspective discussed is that these cultural shifts weakened society, while others saw them as important changes. The document then explores some of the key social movements and protests of the 1960s that drove cultural change in the US.
‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ Novel by George Orwell - Purpose of Newspeak.pptxNirav Amreliya
The document summarizes George Orwell's novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four" and discusses the purpose of Newspeak, the official language of the dystopian society Oceania. Newspeak aims to limit freedom of thought and speech by reducing vocabulary over time. Its goal is to make dissenting ideas impossible to express, thus bolstering the totalitarian regime's control over citizens. The summary also briefly outlines some scholars' analyses of how restricting language restricts independent thought and resistance to authoritarian rule.
Cultural anthropology seeks to understand human culture and societies through comparative and holistic study. It examines how cultures form and are expressed through various aspects of human life like beliefs, languages, arts, politics, and economics. Cultural anthropologists use ethnographic fieldwork and cross-cultural comparisons to understand both individual cultures and common patterns in human social and cultural development. The concept of culture is complex, and anthropologists debate how best to define and study it.
This document provides an introduction to the social sciences of anthropology, sociology, and political science. It discusses the nature, goals, and perspectives of each discipline. Key points include:
- Anthropology studies human diversity and seeks to understand behavior across cultures. It aims to promote intercultural understanding. Sociology scientifically studies human interactions, groups, societies, and their development over time. Political science examines politics, power, and the formation of governments.
- The document outlines influential theorists in each field, such as Franz Boas in anthropology, Marx and Durkheim in sociology, and thinkers like Plato and Machiavelli who influenced early political science. It also presents theoretical perspectives like structural

Discussion Board Post:
Part 1: In a couple of paragraphs, respond to at least two presentations from “My Ethnographic Project” and/or “Conversations in the Disciplines.” What did you learn about these researchers’ approaches to ethnographic research and writing? What did you find most interesting about their topics and/or about their research process?
Part 2: Either expanding on your writing from Tuesday or choosing a different topic, provide a detailed description of your autoethnographic project. In the first paragraph, describe the nature of the personal experience you will draw on in creating this autoethnography and explain its larger sociological importance. In the next paragraph or two, describe how you will use secondary sources and at least one additional research method (interviews and/or observation of a physical or virtual fieldsite) in developing your project. Provide details such as whom you plan to interview and what insight these interviewees can provide, how you will gain access to these fieldsites and a timeline for how you plan to study them, and/or the types of secondary sources (with possible links) that you will find most useful for studying this topic.
Videos about the Ethnographic Process:
1) “My Ethnographic Project,” prepared by DU Professor Alejandro Ceron and three anthropology students:
https://www.duethnographylab.org/
Centering on tattooing, music, food, and epidemiology involving people’s relationships to infected animals, these four short videos give excellent background to the ethnographic process and to what it’s like to develop a topic, to do ethnographic fieldwork, and to write about one’s ethnographic work.
2) “Conversations in the Disciplines,” April 2020. This video of our event from this quarter about ethnographic research contains talks by three ethnographers. Kelly Fayard talks about her work studying her own Native American culture. Alison Krogel talks about her ethnographic work on Quechua poetry and culture. Dinko Hanaan Dinko discusses his ethnography centering on water rights in Ghana.

Culture is the shared knowledge, beliefs, and values that are transmitted between generations through socialization. It includes both ideas and material objects. Culture and social structure are the two key components of society and the foundation of sociology. William Fielding Ogburn described how culture can lag behind technological changes, resulting in conflicts as new innovations are developed faster than traditions and values change. Language plays a central role in socialization according to George Herbert Mead.

In this SLP you will identify where the major transportation modes are used in the EESC from SLP3: rail, inland water, ocean steamer, and/or OTR.
There are five basic transportation modes: rail, inland water ways, ocean, over-the-road, and air. We will not be concerned about air transport in this SLP as it is the least used and most expensive in general supply chain transportation.
Review and read these resources on these three transportation modes: rail, inland water, and OTR. Ocean is not included in these readings since it is mainly used for importing and exporting. This will be covered in more detail in LOG502. But you are asked to identify where ocean transport is used, but not in detail.
RESOURCES - SEE SLP 3 RESOURCES IN BACKGROUND PAGE

In this essay you should combine your practice responding and analyz.docxwhitneyleman54422
In this essay you should combine your practice responding and analyzing short stories with support derived from research. So far in class, we have practiced primarily formal analysis. Now I want you to practice "joining the conversation." In this essay you will write a literary analysis that incorporates the ideas of others. The trick is to accurately present ideas and interpretations gathered from your research while adding to the conversation by presenting
your own
ideas and analysis.
You will be evaluated based on how well you use external sources. I want to see that you can quote, paraphrase and summarize without plagiarizing. Remember, any unique idea must be credited, even if you put it in your own words.
Choose one of the approaches explained in the "Approaches to Literary Analysis" located at the bottom of this document. Each approach will require research, and that research should provide the context in which you present your own ideas and support your thesis. Be sure to properly document your research. Review the information, notes, and pamphlets I have distributed in class as these will help guide you.
While I am asking you to conduct outside research, do not lose sight of the primary text to which you are responding---the story! Your research should support
your
interpretations of the story. Be sure that your thesis is relevant to the story and that you quote generously from the story.
Purpose:
critical analysis, Argument, writing from sources
Length:
approx 1200 words
Documentation:
Minimum of 4 sources required (one primary source—the story or poem analyzed, and three secondary, peer reviewed journals). (Note: review the material in "finding and evaluating sources.ppt" to help you choose relevant and trustworthy sources.)
Choose from the following short stories:
The Lottery,
Shirley Jackson
A Rose for Emily,
William Faulkner
The Dead
, James Joyce
The Veldt
, Ray Bradbury
Hills Like White Elephants,
Ernest Hemingway
The Cask of Amontillado or The Tell-Tale Heart,
Edgar Allen Poe
Below are some examples.
They are just here to give you an idea of the type of approaches that will work for this essay.
1. Philosophical analysis: How do the stories by Jean Paul Sartre and Albert Camus reflect the philosophy of existentialism?
2. Socio/cultural analysis: What opinion about marriage and gender roles does Hemingway advance in "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber"?
3. Historical analysis:: What social dilemmas faced by African Americans in the 1960s might have inspired Toni Cade Bambara to write "The Lesson"?
4. Biographical analysis: What events in Salman Rushdie's life might have influenced the events in "At the Auction of the Ruby Slippers"?
5. Psychological analysis: How is John Cheever's "The Swimmer" a metaphor for the psychology of addiction?

If it has been a while since you have seen these films, they are available through online sources and various rental outlets. Although I have provided links to some of the films, I cannot guarantee they are still operable. If the links do not work, try your own online sources.
Dances with Wolves
(1990). Lt. John Dunbar (Kevin Costner) is assigned to the Western frontier on his own request after an act of bravery. He finds himself at an abandoned outpost. At first he maintains strict order using the methods and practices taught to him by the military, but as the film progresses, he makes friends with a nearby Native American tribe, and his perceptions of the military, the frontier, and Native Americans change dramatically.
Working Girl
(1988) Tess McGill (Melanie Griffith) works as a secretary for a large firm involved in acquiring media corporations such as radio and television. When her boss has a skiing accident, Tess gets a chance to use her own ideas and research, ideas that she has been keeping within herself for years – ideas that are arguably better, and more insightful into mass media practices, than her boss’s ideas were.
Schindler’s List
(1993). In Poland during World War II, Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) gradually becomes concerned for his Jewish workforce after witnessing their persecution by the Nazis. He initially was motivated by profit, but as the war progressed he began to sympathize with his Jewish workers and attempted to save them. He was credited with saving over 1000 Jews from extermination. (Based on a true story.)
Gran Torino
(2008). Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood), a recently widowed Korean War veteran alienated from his family and angry at the world. Walt's young neighbor, an Asian American, is pressured into stealing Walt's prized 1972 Ford Gran Torino by his cousin for his initiation into a gang. Walt thwarts the theft and subsequently develops a relationship with the boy and his family.
Describe the specific theories, assumptions, or “schools of thought” that the characters in the film have. How do their schools of thought differ?
How do the main characters change over the course of a film? How do their goals or desires change? Do they see themselves differently by the end of the film?
Which reflective theory from the course best illustrates the process the main characters go through during the film? How so?
Would you say that the main characters evolved or grew after learning something that was new, or a new approach, a new theory, or a new understanding of their place in the world?
I suggest that you refrain from reiterating the plotline. Rather, stay focused on character changes and the influences on those changes. Be sure to refer to the readings; use proper citations! This discussion will be scored based on the

You will turn this assignment into me via a Word Document attached to a separate email titled "extra credit assignment, Your Name" with your actual name in the subject line so I know to save the email for grading.
You need to analyze how businesses are handling the current COVID-19 crisis and I want to see if you can track down a press release from the organization, an email to their stakeholders, or even a screenshot of their website in which they explicitly address the actions they are taking in light of this new world we find ourselves in. However, the screenshots, hyperlinks to news stories, etc. are only one component of the assignment, your analysis is far and away from the more important component. Once you have tracked down two examples of how a business/organization is responding to the COVID-19 crisis, I want you to tell me how effective you perceive its action to be. Use any of the vocabulary or concepts that we have learned thus far in the semester to support your analysis. For example, is the business/organization using appropriate new media platforms to reach stakeholders? Is communication timely? Is the organization's tone sincere? What could have been done better? I am expecting one page, double-spaced for the length of your analysis, APA format. The images and or hyperlinks you compile will not be counted towards the length of your writing.

In the provided scenario there are a few different crimes being .docxwhitneyleman54422
In the provided scenario there are a few different crimes being committed and each could be argued multiple ways.
Steve could be charged with attempted murder. He was stabbing Michelle in the chest repeatedly. Due to the details of the scenario his charge could only be attempted because Michelle got up from the attack and charged Stacy. If she later died from her injuries Steve would/could be charged with murder. Even though he was “visibly drunk” he still maintained the purposely, knowing, or reckless intent to cause harm. He was coherent enough to make statements to her about how much he loved her, but still showed an extreme indifference to life and intent cause serious bodily harm. The biggest obstacle to a murder charge for Steve is his death. He cannot be charged with anything if he cannot be alive to defend himself. This takes care of the Steve factor.
Initially Stacy could be found guilty of murder. She knowingly and intentionally took the life of another (Steve). She also expresses an intent to kill when she stated, “I have had enough of you Steve”. From the scenario it is documented that she did not care for Steve and along with her statements, it can be shown that she was “just waiting for the opportunity” to kill Steve. In her favor is the fact that she attempted to stop Steve from harming another person. Her actions, while resulting in the death of another, were in the defense of a harmed person. She possibly saved the life of Michelle by using reasonable force to stop the stabbing.
Michelle could be charged with attempted murder as well. She stabbed Stacey in the chest while screaming, “how dare you”. She intended to cause death or serious physical injury. Again, if Stacey died from the wounds suffered, Michelle could/would be charged with murder. It could also be argued that Michelle had no malice aforethought. She was being stabbed and may not have known her actions were wrong. Her extreme circumstance clouded her reasonable decision making and all she was aware of is that her boyfriend, whom she loved, was just killed. This is unlikely but still a small possibility. Without more facts from the scenario it is difficult to fully play out all possibilities.

hundreds of executives, in fields ranging from high
tech and retail to pharmaceuticals and consulting,
many said they felt overwhelmed by their meetings—
whether formal or informal, traditional or agile, face-
to-face or electronically mediated. One said, “I cannot
get my head above water to breathe during the week.”
Another described stabbing her leg with a pencil to
stop from screaming during a particularly torturous
staff meeting. Such complaints are supported by re-
search showing that meetings have increased in length
and frequency over the past 50 years, to the point
where executives spend an average of nearly 23 hours
a week in them, up from less than 10 hours in the
1960s. And that doesn’t even include all the impromptu
gatherings that don’t make it onto the schedule.
Much has been written about this problem, but the
solutions posed are usually discrete: Establish a clear
agenda, hold your meeting standing up, delegate
someone to attend in your place, and so on. We’ve
observed in our research and consulting that real im-
provement requires systemic change, because meet-
ings affect how people collaborate and how they get
their own work done.
Yet change of such scope is rarely considered. When
we probed into why people put up with the strain that
meetings place on their time and sanity, we found
something surprising: Those who resent and dread
meetings the most also defend them as a “necessary
evil”—sometimes with great passion. Consider this
excerpt from the corporate blog of a senior executive
in the pharmaceutical industry:
I believe that our abundance of meetings at our
company is the Cultural Tax we pay for the inclusive,
learning environment that we want to foster…
and I’m ok with that. If the alternative to more
meetings is more autocratic decision-making, less
input from all levels throughout the organization,
and fewer opportunities to ensure alignment and
communication by personal interaction, then give
me more meetings any time!
To be sure, meetings are essential for enabling col-
laboration, creativity, and innovation. They often foster
relationships and ensure proper information exchange.
They provide real benefits. But why would anyone ar-
gue in defense of excessive meetings, especially when
no one likes them much?
Because executives want to be good soldiers. When
they sacrifice their own .

Stoichiometry Lab – The Chemistry Behind Carbonates reacting with Vinegar
Objectives: To visually observe what a limiting reactant is.
To measure the change in mass during a chemical reaction due to loss of a gas.
To calculate CO2 loss and compare actual loss to expected CO2 loss predicted by the balanced chemical equation.
Materials needed: Note: Plan ahead as you’ll need to let Part 1 sit for at least 24 hours.
plastic beaker graduated cylinder
electronic balance 2 eggs
1 plastic cup baking soda (5 g)
dropper vinegar (500mL)
2 identical cups or glasses (at least 500 mL)
Safety considerations: Safety goggles are highly recommended for this lab as baking soda and vinegar chemicals can be irritating to the eyes. If your skin becomes irritated from contact with these chemicals, rinse with cool water for 15 minutes.
Introduction:
The reaction between baking soda and vinegar is a fun activity for young people. Most children (and adults!) enjoy watching the foamy eruption that occurs upon mixing these two household substances. The reaction has often been used for erupting volcanoes in elementary science classes. The addition of food coloring makes it even more fun. The reaction involves an acid-base reaction that produces a gas (CO2). Acid-base reactions typically involve the transfer of a hydrogen ion (H+) from the acid (HA) to the base (B−):
HA + B− --> A− + BH (eq #1)
acid base
The base often (although not always) carries a negative charge. The acid usually (although not always) becomes negatively charged through the course of the reaction because it lost an H+. An example of a typical acid base reaction is below:
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) --> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) (eq #2)
The reaction is actually taking place between the hydrogen ion (H+) and the hydroxide ion (OH−). The chloride and sodium are spectator ions. To write the reaction in the same form as eq #1:
HCl(aq) + OH- --> Cl- + H2O (l) (eq #3)
Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) will dissociate in water to form sodium ion (Na+) and bicarbonate ion (HCO3−).
NaHCO3 --> Na+ + HCO3− (eq #4)
Vinegar is usually a 5% solution of acetic acid in water. The bicarbonate anion (HCO3−) can act as a base, accepting a hydrogen ion from the acetic acid (HC2H3O2) in the vinegar. The Na+ is just a spectator ion and does nothing.
HCO3− + HC2H3O2 --> H2CO3 + C2H3O2− (eq#5)
Bicarbonate acetic acid carbonic acid acetate ion
The carbonic acid that is formed (H2CO3) decomposes to form water and carbon dioxide:
H2CO3 --> H2O(l) + CO2(g) (eq#6)
carbonic acid water carbon dioxide
The latter reaction (production of carbon dioxide) accounts for the bubbles and the foaming that is observed upon mixing vinegar and baki.

Theme 2
2. The crucial role of transnational media

6. by which some languages are used more in
international communication while others
decline or disappear
Theme 3: Five key variables
1. Number of languages is shrinking
2. Migration and travel spreads languages
3. Foreign language learning disperses
languages beyond borders
4. Language use on Internet is sign of both
dominance and variety
5. Scientific publications impact intellectual

Paper #1
You will read a part of a “Room for Debate” Editorial Series
from the New York Times for this
assignment. To start drafting your paper, follow these directions
step-by-step.
STEP 1: Click on the PDF file in Blackboard associated with
this assignment. Print out the pages.
Read all the articles carefully. Note that the locating
information is given to you for your works cited
page on top of the introduction page. (Note: You may find it
helpful to use the libguide {Noodlebib
tool housed in the libguide} to construct the works cited.)
STEP 2: Once you have finished reading these editorials, you
will need to write a multi-mode paper
(: meaning your paper will both summarize and analyze).
Your paper should begin with an introduction and a thesis
unifying the two objectives in step 3 and
step 4. Should you need help with thesis statements,
introductions and transitions, please
reference the English learning module in our course OR the
Writing Center. NOTE: Remember this
is a humanities paper. There are MAJOR differences in the style
of writing between APA and MLA.
15. Review these differences before beginning your draft.
STEP 3: After the introduction, construct several body
paragraphs where you will summarize each
debater’s opinion. You will need to SUMMARIZE the debater’s
stance (pro-con) in light of the
question upon which the debate is centered. In order to
complete this step successfully, you will
need to refer to the “How to write a summary” handout found in
the English help learning module
to write your summary in the necessary manner. Take note on
the guideline regarding length—a
summary for this piece should be in the one to two short
paragraph range. Also note that
summaries do not include personal opinions or additional
information not found in the piece
being summarized.
STEP 4: Then, read the editorials again carefully, centering on
the reasons why the author is
either pro or con. You’ll see that the authors give different
reasons in the editorials. Using the
HCTSR (Holistic Critical Thinking Scoring Rubric in your
text), analyze and evaluate the critical
thinking evident in these editorials. ASSIGN EACH DEBATER
A NUMBER and justify it. What
critical thinking skills are apparent in their essays? Give me at
least TWO examples per debater.
Be sure to write about your reasons justifying in specific detail
why you gave the editorial the score
that you did. Point out words, thoughts, etc. that led you to your
evaluation. STEP 5: Bring your
paper to a conclusion. In your conclusion, give your personal
opinion of the issue, but your opinion
should not be in steps 3 or 4. The conclusion is the only place
your opinion should appear.
16. Otherwise, in the body of the paper, you are only evaluating
debates using the HCTSR criteria.
A NOTE ON DEVELOPMENT: You should think of the
concepts addressed in chapters one through
five to help lead you through this paper. Using the vocabulary
and terminology in those
chapters will help you produce a strong paper. I am looking for
evidence of mastery of
textbook terms, showing me you have read and understood the
reading from the text
through application in this paper. Students who use no material
from the textbook
should expect a much lower grade than students who correctly
use material in their
analysis. BACK YOUR OPINION UP with detailed
explanations. For instance, if you believed
that someone was particularly superficial or particularly strong,
tell me why by providing an
example with an in-text citation and a reference to one of the
textbook concepts.
Other notes:
Make sure your paper reads as a whole (- unified) and uses
transitions. If you are unsure about
style or anything contained here in the assignment, ask!
17. This paper should contain a Works Cited page in MLA style.
Again, seek help at the sources
mentioned should you need it.
APA or other citation styles are not acceptable for this course.
MLA style papers are always
double spaced with one-inch margins and 12-point Times New
Roman or Courier New font. All
quotations (anything that is word for word out of the articles
and paraphrased thoughts) should be
properly attributed with both in-text parenthetical citations and
a works cited page. Note that the
source link in the PDF of the articles has been provided for you
and that the source is not a print
source, but an electronic one.
A word about MLA style: Please note that if you choose not to
refresh your memory about
MLA or choose not to use the sources provided on our
classroom BB page or on the LC
Library webpage on how to do MLA sourcing and style, it will
bring your paper down at
least one full letter grade.
A paper answering all of the above questions in an acceptable
manner will produce a minimum of
three full-length double-spaced pages (excluding works cited,
which is not counted in the page
requirement).

Poverty, Prosperity and the Minimum
Wage
INTRODUCTION
Protests by fast-food workers, like these in
North Carolina in 2013, spurred the drive of minimum wage
increases around the country.Chuck Burton/Associated
Press
Americans saw the largest annual rise in real income in almost
50 years with 3.5
million lifted out of poverty as the economy grew and jobs
increased.
Is this good economic news also evidence that the minimum
wage increases enacted
in cities and states have proved their benefits?
For your Works Cited Page, this was accessed on

20. Advocates of minimum wage increases
plausibly argue that reduced turnover, higher productivity,
lower profits and the like absorb much of
the increase. I have no trouble believing that this happens in
many cases.
My reading of the economics literature also suggests that
businesses absorb some of the costs of a
higher wage bill by employing fewer workers and charging
higher prices for the goods and service
they produce.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated the
effects of increasing the federal minimum
wage from its current $7.25 per hour to $10.10 per hour would
generate $31 billion in extra earnings
for 16.5 million workers. “However,” according to the C.B.O.,
“those earnings would not go only to
low-income families, because many low-wage workers are not
members of low-income families. Just
19 percent of the $31 billion would accrue to families with
earnings below the poverty threshold,
whereas 29 percent would accrue to families earning more than
three times the poverty threshold.”
And a cost of a $10.10 minimum wage, again according to
C.B.O., is 500,000 fewer jobs.
The tradeoff, in sum: Some workers get a raise, and the cost of
that raise is fewer jobs for low-wage
workers. It’s also important to note that the vast majority of the
increase in earnings would go to
families that are not in poverty.
Beyond the question of whether this tradeoff is good or bad is
the question of whether there are
better policy alternatives to minimum wage increases.
One of the most significant issues facing the United States is
21. declining workforce participation among
men. At a time when men are not finding their place in the labor
market, shouldn’t we be finding ways
to make it easier for firms to hire workers, and not instituting
policies that will make it costlier?
Unlike minimum wage increases, earnings subsidies like the
Earned Income Tax Credit (E.I.T.C.)
make sure the dollars we redistribute find their way to the
working poor by explicitly targeting low-
income households. And expanding the E.I.T.C. would increase
employment.
Have minimum wage increases proved their benefits? Sure, in
the sense that there are benefits
associated with minimum wage increases. But we need to look
at costs as well — and there are real

costs. We need to look at the broader canvas on which we will
paint a minimum wage increase. And
we need to ask whether there are better policies to help reduce
poverty and increase household
income. There are.
Oh, and by the way, eight states saw their minimum wages
22. increase between 2011 and 2012, for an
average increase of 4 percent, and the headline from that year’s
Census report is that neither median
income nor the poverty rate budged. Median income and poverty
were flat for 2013 and 2014 as well,
even though 2013 saw 10 minimum wage increases and 2014
saw 18 minimum wage increases. In
2015, 24 states had a minimum wage increase, averaging 6.6
percent — similar to 2014.
It would be an error to overstate the success or the failure of
minimum wage increases in any of these
years.

Effects of Minimum Wage Increases
Extend Beyond the Law’s Reach
Maurice A. Jones, Virginia's former secretary of commerce and
trade, is the president and chief
executive officer of the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, a
nonprofit financial institution that
supports urban and rural development in the United States.
UPDATED SEPTEMBER 29, 2016, 3:22 AM
It’s too early to show empirically, but in my field we’re
convinced that minimum wage increases will
reveal their value over time as workers’ incomes rise.
What we do know now is that higher wages in the retail sector
have already been a boon to the
economy and to low-skilled workers, who make up most of low-
income America.
Many companies have raised wages in reaction. But more must
be
done to help struggling workers maintain and extend their gains.
This is particularly critical as manufacturing jobs evaporate and
more workers turn to employment
in retail and service industries. Some of the gains we’re starting
to see come thanks to higher
24. minimum wages for people who don’t yet have the training to
advance in a job.
The national conversation about low wages, in and of itself, has
brought about a shift in the economic
zeitgeist, too: Even in states that aren’t rolling out minimum
wage hikes, some giant employers, like
Target and Walmart, have anted up (both increased their
minimum wages by 10 percent — about a
dollar an hour — in the past year).
Nevertheless, for many low-income families, a job alone is not
enough. When employed people
cannot meet their basic expenses (which sadly often include
payments to predatory lenders), they
can’t build assets, either. And assets are a cornerstone of
financial stability, in addition to steady,
living wage jobs.
Supporting the 43 million Americans who still live in poverty
on a path toward financial well-being
requires tackling all the facets of financial life — including, but
not limited to, salary.
To climb into the middle class, low-income workers need other
supports, too: Employment services
that include skills training, financial coaching (to build positive
credit and balance the household
budget), and access to government income assistance can all
help people increase their monthly net
income and build assets.
That means more dollars going toward homes, college,
retirement savings and into local businesses
— the kinds of spending that fuel our economy and the
wellbeing of families and the places where
25. they live.
So while higher minimum wage jobs are imperative to living
with dignity and for a healthy economy,
and we are seeing their good effects, they are part of a broader,
more complex picture. We can’t wait
http://www.lisc.org/about-us/lisc-leadership/leadership-
bios/#mjones
http://www.lisc.org/
for $15-an-hour wages to take hold in every state of our union
to see what happens. Low-income
people need much greater access to financial empowerment
strategies that work today.
Benefits of Minimum-Wage Increases
26. Seem Too Good to Be True, But
They’re Not
Heather Boushey is the executive director and chief economist
at the Washington Center for Equitable
Growth, and the author of “Finding Time: The Economics of
Work-Life Conflicts."
UPDATED SEPTEMBER 29, 2016, 11:27 AM
Some ideas sound too good to be true. Some argue that one of
those ideas is: If you want higher
incomes and less poverty, then you pay workers higher wages.
This logic is leading policymakers
around the country to increase their local minimum wage. The
last increase to the federal minimum
wage was when it rose to $7.25 in 2009, which also coincides
with the end of the Great Recession in
June of 2009. Since 2009, 28 states and the District of Columbia
as well as 43 cities and localities
have raised their minimum wage.
The evidence isn't conclusive, but we have to seriously consider
that
raising the minimum wage has done more good than harm.
Advocates for increasing the minimum wage argue that it will
improve people’s earnings and make it
easier for them to support their families. Some even point to the
very good economic news earlier
this month — U.S. Census Bureau data show that for 2015,
median household income rose 5.2 percent,
up to around $56,500, the largest single-year increase since
record-keeping began in 1967. Incomes
rose across the board: For young people and in households

people, and for African-American families, white families,
Latino families and Asian American
families. We also learned that 3.5 million Americans rose above
the poverty line last year.
Given that so many places have raised their minimum wage, this
is proof at the very least that
policies to increase the minimum wage happened alongside real
income gains at the national level.
An economist’s caution, however, is that correlation is not
causation, meaning that just because the
two things happened along a time line that makes sense, it
doesn’t mean that one caused the other.
There continues to be debate over whether policies such as
raising the minimum wage actually raise
incomes because higher wages may be offset by employers
using less employee time, so that incomes
don’t actually rise in the end. While the weight of the empirical
evidence points to the conclusion that
there have been little or no employment effects from minimum
wage increases around the nation,
some argue that it hampers employment for some groups or that
the “Fight for $15” is a step too far.
What the recent upticks in income and decline in poverty tell us
is that we have to seriously consider
that raising the minimum wage has done more good than harm.
When we combine the income data
with the fact that we continue to be amid the longest job-
creating recovery since the end of World
War II — when the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics first began
tabulating this data — it’s hard to
argue that improving the lives of workers is a bad thing.
29. The average minimum wage rose 3 percent, so
its role in cutting poverty was probably modest, but corporate
wage
policies also helped.
What’s behind the pay growth? A tight labor market certainly
helps when it comes to raising wages,
but so do institutional forces. Over the past few years, a slew of
major companies
including Walmart, Target and McDonald’s have begun
instituting voluntary minimum wage standards
that specifically raise pay at the very bottom. Such pay policies
are a new and important development
in the American corporate landscape.
Public policy has also played a role, especially in some parts of
the country. Today, 29 states and more
than two dozen cities have their own minimum wages. The
recent increases signal a growing success
of the Fight for Fifteen movement, which has its origin in fast-
food organizing and the push for a
wage mandate in Seattle.
To be sure, the impact of minimum wages on employment and
incomes remains a controversial
topic. However, in my view, the weight of the evidence as
summarized by meta-analysis, as well as
results from careful studies that create reliable control groups
suggest that typical minimum wage
increases tend to have limited employment effects, while raising
pay and earnings at the bottom and
reducing worker turnover.
My own research, and my survey of past studies, also suggests
that higher minimum wages raise
family incomes for the bottom quartile of the family income
30. distribution, and has a moderate-sized
poverty reducing effect. For example, a 10 percent increase in
the minimum wage can be expected to
reduce poverty by around 2 percent.
Given the recent minimum wage increases in states like
California, Massachusetts and New York,
some portion of the reduction in poverty can probably be
attributed to changes in the minimum
wage. But the change in the (population weighted) average
statutory minimum wage across the U.S.
between 2014 and 2015 was around 3 percent; so it probably did
not play a very big role in reducing
poverty at the national level during that time, even though it
likely did so in some parts of the
country. Once some of the recent increases kick in, we are more
likely to see a more sizable impact of
the policy.

Culture in East and Southeast Asia: Time for a
Regional Paradigm?” japanfocus.org (2008)
Steger Chap 5: What is culture?
An aspect of social life concerned with the
symbolic construction, articulation, and
dissemination of meaning
Culture: 3 meanings
1. Human culture: symbolic expression,
universal to all human societies (Steger)
2. Cultural sphere: symbolic expression in one
group of societies that separates it from
another group
� “Western culture,” “Asian culture” “Islamic
culture”
3. National culture: symbolic expression in one
society that separates it from other societies
� “Chinese culture,” “Japanese culture,”
“Korean culture”
Homo sapiens—modern humans
33. � Homo sapiens are capable of symbolic
thought
� Words, objects, visual forms are invested
with meaning
Ex: China’s symbol of “soft power”
Stylized symbol
Manipulated symbol
Japan’s symbol of soft power
kawaii “cute”
Hello Kitty toast
Manipulated symbol: Goodbye Kitty
34. Manipulated symbol: USA
Steger’s 3 important themes
1. The tension between sameness and difference in the
emerging global culture
2. The crucial role of transnational media
corporations in disseminating popular culture
3. The globalization of languages: some languages are
increasingly used in international communication
while others may disappear
Downside of Media Corporations
� TV & Internet dominate social life; civic bonds
weaken
� Pop culture takes over; news and educational
programs have been transformed into
entertainment shows
� Cultural globalization includes weakening of
professional autonomy of journalism
� No more objectivity in news; business and politics
shapes the news for their own interests

Explaining the appeal of
Japanese popular culture
Hypothesis 1: “Asian fragrance”
� Japanese popular culture appeals to local
consumers in East and Southeast Asia
because of its Cultural Proximity.
� Therefore, cultural conf luence is geo-
cultural and not simply transnational.
37. Problem with “Asian fragrance”
hypothesis:
àIt does not explain the uneven appeal of
Japanese popular culture in the region.
[Also, does not explain appeal outside Asia.]
Explaining the appeal of
Japanese popular culture
Hypothesis 2: “Faceless”
� Japanese popular culture appeals to local
consumers in East and Southeast Asia
because it is non-national and no longer
recognized as particularly “Japanese”.
� Therefore, it is highly transferable and can
be easily indigenized into local pop culture
without a trace. Ex. Gambaru message
Problem with “Faceless”
hypothesis:
àIt does not explain the actual local
awareness of Japanese origin of animation,
film, music.
Explaining the appeal of Japanese
popular culture
38. Hypothesis 3: “Hybrid Product” (Iwabuchi)
� Japanese popular culture appeals to local
consumers in East and Southeast Asia because it
exports the Japanese experience of
indigenized Western culture to the rest of Asia.
� Therefore, Asian people encounter a mediated
West in Japanese popular culture.
Japan plays role of mediator
In East Asia, Japan was the first to modernize
beginning in the late 19th century
� In South Korea, Japanese popular culture
“projects modernity”
� People watching Japanese dramas in Taiwan
feel “ambivalent ‘anxiety and desire’ for
modernity”
Problem with “Hybrid Product”
hypothesis:
àEast Asia is treated as a passive player in a
universal globalizing process.
� Rest of East Asia = receiver of mediated
“global” culture
� Japan = indigenizer/mediator to “global”
culture
39. � West (U.S.) = giver of “global” culture
Otmazgin: Globalization ≠
Americanization
� Some equate globalization with
Americanization, but the Asian experience
complicates this picture, because Japanese
and other Asian cultural forms are being
circulated in and beyond Asia.
Otmazgin’s thesis of Regional Paradigm
It’s a mistake to see Japanese popular culture
as part of a universal global process; rather,
inter-regional relations shape the
circulation and consumption of cultural
products.
Regional paradigm
The regional paradigm challenges the idea
that globalization is a process of universal
homogenization on a U.S. model
(“Americanization”).

Real reasons for appeal of J Pop
Otmazgin makes 4 important observations:
1. Emergence of urban middle class
� Social convergence
2. Media platforms
3. Major metropolises “World Cities”
�Nodes where culture and consumerism meet
4. Metropolises dominate cultural f lows, not
nation-states
41. Observation 1
Chinese, Malaysian, and Indonesian urban
middle classes can aspire to the same cultural
access as their counterparts in Seoul,
Singapore, and Bangkok
� Erases boundaries between East and
Southeast Asia
Observation 1
Asian markets & communities are
converging
� RAISES ISSUE OF
SAMENESS/DIFFERENCE
Observation 2
Companies have created platforms from
which urban communities access popular
culture regionally.
� Related to Steger’s discussion of MEDIA
EMPIRES and the INFOTAINMENT
TELESECTOR in Chap. 5
Observation 3
Major metropolises are the central nodes
where culture and consumerism meet,
42. leading to new regional consciousness.
� Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong
Kong, Singapore, Taipei, Seoul, Bangkok,
Jakarta, Tokyo
� Related to Steger’s point in Chap. 5 that
media platforms impact global imaginary
Observation 4
Metropolises are more important than
nation-states for understanding cultural
f lows
� Related to Steger’s discussion of the
challenges to the NATION-STATE in

“Millions of youth in Hong Kong, Seoul, Shanghai, and
Jakarta covet the latest fashions from Tokyo, read
Japanese comic books (translated or in the original), and
watch Japanese animation series.

Globalization & Culture (2009)
Jan Nederveen Pieterse identifies three major
paradigms to describe globalization’s impact
on culture:
1. Pieterse: Homogenization (=Steger:
sameness)
2. Pieterse: Hybridization (=Steger:
hybridity)
3. Pietrese: Polarization (⌿Steger: new)
45. Pieterse: Awareness of difference =
function of globalization
� “Growing awareness of cultural difference is
a function of globalization. Increasing cross-
cultural communication, mobility,
migration, trade, investment, tourism, all
generate awareness of cultural difference.”
Pieterse, p. 60
