  • “Exploring Human-Nonhuman Relationships: A Critique through Foundational, Contemporary, and Indigenous Perspectives in Hurricane Diane”

    LWR 346 – Paper #1: A Critique of Human-Nonhuman Relations
    We have read a diverse cross-section of American writers regarding human relationships with the nonhuman, or natural, world. These thinkers all work beyond the useful scientific understanding of nature, and focus instead on the often overlooked – but equally important – spiritual, aesthetic, and philosophical perspectives. For this first paper, then, I would like you to place these thinkers in conversation through Madeleine George’s play Hurricane Diane.
    Paper Prompt:
    There are two parts to this paper:
    In the first part, I would like you to explore the following three groups, where in each case, you explain how the writer critiques the human relationship with the nonhuman world, as well as how they imagine positive relationships might be cultivated:
    Choose one Foundational American writers (Emerson, Thoreau, Muir, or Austin).
    Choose one Contemporary American writers (Hay, Leach, Haraway, Tsing, Hogan, or Abram).
    Choose two essays by Indigenous American author Robin Wall Kimmerer, from her book, Gathering Moss.
    In the second part, I would like you to carefully analyze Madeleine George’s Hurricane Diane as a case study, demonstrating the concepts you have drawn from the above three groups.
    For example, you might begin by using ideas from Muir to describe both a negative and a positive relationship with the natural world. Then, you might construct a negative & positive relation that includes ideas from Haraway. Then, from Kimmerer, you might analyze “The Owner” and “Learning to See” in order to describe a third negative and positive aspect to the relationship.  While you may find some similarities across the authors, be sure to also show us the uniqueness of each argument – after all, none of the writers are identical!  Finally, you can now demonstrate the major points you have just made through a careful reading of the play, Hurricane Diane.
    Parameters:
    This essay should include five sources: 1 foundational writer, 1 contemporary writer, 2 essays from Kimmerer, and Hurricane Diane. 
    This paper should include at least one direct quote from each of the nonfiction sources. You may want more than one quote from Hurricane Diane. Please use MLA citation (parenthetical and works cited).
    This essay should be at least 1250 words (about 5 pages), but it may be longer.
    Paper submissions can be in the following formats: .doc, .docx, .pdf, .odt, .rtf
    The paper is due on Canvas by the end of the day (midnight) on Sunday, April 2nd!
    Feel free to email, or visit me during my office hours, or talk to me after class if you have any questions. (see the next page with works cited help!)

    4) All sources MUST be cited in MLA format. You can easily find examples of MLA format on the internet. You may also contact your English teacher for examples.
    5) You MAY USE a first-person source (father, mother, family member, etc.), that has credible knowledge of the subject matter (attorney, police officer, prison guard, etc.). You MUST document and quote their contributions.
    6) Paper MUST have a cover page and a works cited page. Neither page counts towards the four content pages.
    7) Your cover page should include the header above and the title of your paper on the center of the page.
    Topic
    We have discussed, in detail, the American Criminal Justice System. The topics we studied include but are not limited to.
    Criminal Justice Final Exam May 2024
    Directions
    1) Police-Community interaction
    2) Types of crimes
    3) Punishments and sentences, including alternatives to prison
    4) The American Court System
    5) The American prison System (see below for additional information). 6) The role race and social standing plays in the criminal justice system. 7) The strengths and pitfalls of our criminal justice system overall.
    Page 1 of 2
    With the above lesson topics in mind, compare and contrast The American Criminal Justice System with ANY other foreign criminal justice system (China, Japan, Great Britain, Iran, Korea, etc.).
     Part of your paper MUST compare the prison system in the country you choose to the prison system in the United States.
     ONE country must be used for the entire paper so make sure the country you select has enough substance to intelligently complete a five-page paper.
     You MUST thoroughly address the above topics and have documented facts to support your positions.
     You MAY pick other aspects of our justice system to compare, however the above topics must be addressed.
     You MUST also state your thoughts on the strengths and pitfalls of the foreign system you chose.
     You MUST discuss FACTS from two of the many cases we studied (Hernandez, Batman, OJ, Otto, etc.) to illustrate the “strengths and pitfalls” of our Criminal Justice system. Use one of these cases as a “what if” for the overall report. What if this happened in Iran (Korea, Japan, etc.). You may then compare and contrast each aspect of the case. (crime, arrest, court, prison)
    This is your final exam. You must demonstrate full depth and knowledge of the subject. This is not an opinion piece, although, when appropriate, you may offer it to enhance your position. The paper needs to be based on established law and the factual reality of criminal justice. Your sources MUST be from legitimate and recognized media. The internet is fine, if it is FACT based and not opinion. AI is also fine but ONLY IF you document it according to MLA.
    ***** Please note that you will receive a zero if you plagiarize. This not only includes using someone else’s paper but also includes not citing your sources. All papers will be electronically checked for plagiarism. I cannot stress enough the importance of documenting your sources using MLA format. ******

  • “Grilling Socrates: Nietzsche’s Critique of Reason and the Search for Truth”

    Nietzsche grills poor Socrates for his seemingly obsessive concern with “reason” — for his insistence, often at the expense of anyone he debated with, on providing an “account” of some crucial idea that came up in discussion. This is really clear in the Euthyphro, where Socrates does not relent in his desire for Euthyphro to provide a rational account of the “form” of holiness. And Euthyphro can’t do it! Do you think that Nietzsche’s criticism of Socrates on this point means that Nietzsche is abandoning “reason” altogether? Or is something else — possibly not even having anything to do with “reason” itself — going on? Do you think Nietzsche is advocating for irrationalism?
