  • “Exploring Perceptions of Race: A Survey of Adult Respondents”

    Dont worry about the field notes mentioned.
    Assignment Instructions
    Why do so many researchers still treat race as a scientific concept? For your assignment this week, you will ask respondents about their definitions or understandings of race. In this article, an anthropologist asked scientists, too, for their definitions of race: 
    https://slate.com/technology/2019/05/race-science-angela-saini-new-book-superior-deconstructed.htmlLinks to an external site. 
    For this assignment and paper, you will first survey 20 adult people of your choosing to ask them about their attitudes about race. Do not survey or interview children, inmates, or anyone else who cannot give legal or voluntary consent.
    Please tell your adult respondents that you are completing a research project and paper for your online Cultural Anthropology course on people’s understandings of, and attitudes about, race.
    Important: Your respondents must remain anonymous. To maintain their confidentiality, in your field notes, you must codify them and not list their names. You may number each subject or use initials instead, but no first or last names should be included.
    Explain no more. If respondents do not understand any of the five questions, please ask them to simply answer to the best of their ability and understanding, and explain that you are unable to discuss the question any further, according to assignment requirements. 
    Ask each of the 20 people the following 5 questions, and no more, and record their responses in your field notes, which you will submit with your paper: 
    1) How many races are there? 
    2) What are those races? (Please list them.) 
    3) What is your race? 
    4) What is your gender? 
    5) What is your age? 
    Then, in a 3-to-4 page double-spaced paper, in Times New Roman 12 point font, no longer and no shorter, explain your results.
    Do you observe any patterns of responses based on respondents’ cultures, sub-cultures, or any particular socioeconomic background?
    What about gender?
    What about age?
    Do people of particular age groups respond in a similar way?
    Why do you think you observed the responses that you did? 
    How do the responses compare to the anthropological understanding of race

  • Sustainable Water: A Mental Model and Its Intersection with the MESH Project

    Please add images and links to add context and depth. Your group post should include several multimedia elements that help document your mental model on sustainable water, considering the following as prompts: 
    “What is sustainable water to you? For whom? And for what?” 
    How does your mental model of sustainable water crosswalk with your final MESH project? 
    Has your mental model (or “the way you see it”) on water changed since you started this course? If yes, how and why? If not, what remained the same or was strengthened? 
    Use 2-3 examples of how you might incorporate the water readings and/or resources within this course in your final MESH project. Apply knowledge gained from your research for your final course project and highlight any other intersectional MESH themes (e.g., health, energy, food, environmental justice) in your EdGE post. 
    I am adding my mesh paper I wrote and the mental model so you can refer back to it. I alsI added a document with a bunch of readings from class. If you can choose 2-3 to refer back to for the example part and cite in apa with reference page

  • “Copyright Infringement and the Impact of Sharing on Social Media: A Case Study of Peter and LinguaXL Chat Group”

    Background: 
    Peter attends a concert of his favorite musician Mike Rock, who performs the self-composed song
    “Sunshine” on stage. Peter films this performance with his smartphone to have a personal memory of the concert.
    The audio-video file is saved directly to the hard drive of his smartphone.
    Peter is also a member of a chat group on the messenger service LinguaXL. In this chat group, his extended circle
    of friends and acquaintances exchange information about “this and that”. Since several members have
    administration rights and thus the authority to add new friends, the group is constantly growing. Now there are
    already 45 people, not all of whom Peter knows personally, but who have been added to the group as “friends of
    his friends” over the past few months.
    After the concert, Peter is still so enthusiastic about his experience, that he joyfully posts his video of the song
    “Sunshine” to the group chat. By sharing in the group, on the one hand, the file is stored on the hard disks of all
    group members’ end devices; on the other hand, the file is also permanently available in the group chat, so
    members can view and re-download the video again at any time, even if they deleted it from their hard drive. 
    Task: 
    Are there copyright infringements on Peter’s part? Under which conditions is a work protected by copyright
    created by another? Who owns copyright and how does copyright benefit creators, copyrights holder(s),
    consumers, society, economy and culture as a whole?
    Structure:
    − Introduction (case context and explanation) 
    − Main part (presentation, editing and solution of the case)
    − Conclusion (discussion and further transfers)
    Components of the Case Study:
    − Title page 
    − Table of contents 
    − List of figures and/or tables (if necessary) 
    − List of abbreviations (if necessary) 
    − Text part with introduction, main part, conclusion 
    − Bibliography
    − List of appendices (if necessary) 
    − Appendices and materials (if necessary)
    Important: 
    -In-Text Citations !!!
    -Critically discussing and analyzing the issues(This involves evaluating different viewpoints, examining the implications, and presenting a well-rounded argument. Consider the strengths and weaknesses of various perspectives and provide a nuanced discussion)!!!
    -A maximum of three levels (1. Main heading, 1.1 Section, 1.1.1 Subheading)

  • “Exploring Texas Politics: Identifying Local Representatives and Understanding the Political System”

    Not many of you are familiar with Texas politics or the way the political system is organized. I always like students to start thinking about Texas politics by forming an opinion about individual politicians and their personalities. Next students need to understand the complexity of the political system in terms of voting and political party organization. Do a keyword search for “who is my representative” to start. From there you should be able to answer the following questions. Email me if you have any difficulty. This assignment revolves around Texas Politics. Answer the following questions. Answer each question below.
    What county do you live in? What is your voting precinct number? This is based on your address of residence. You may contact the elections administrator of your county either by phone, locating their web page, or do a keyword search of “what is my voting (or election) precinct”. Voting precincts are different than commissioner precincts and justice of the peace precincts so make sure to know the differences. The precinct you live in determines which races will be on your ballot and where you vote on Election Day. Travis County allows voters to vote at any voting place. Not all Texas counties do and so voters must vote in the voting location identified by the county for a particular precinct(s). Voting precincts are the most local (basic) voting unit and by law cannot have more than 5,000 registered voters.

  • Title: Revising and Editing: Putting the Pieces Together

    It is time to put all the parts of the essay together. Before you submit it in one MSWord document, please revise and edit it carefully; simply putting the pieces together without significant revising and editing will not gain you many points.
    Begin with the topic you wrote about in the Week 2 Discussion:
    Revise your introductory paragraph with your hook, 2-3 sentences of supporting details and/or evidence, and thesis statement.
    Revise all three of your body paragraphs. Make sure you are putting your best arguments forward.
    Do not use direct quotes. We are focusing on paraphrasing ideas from outside sources in this class.
    Revise your conclusion.
    Revise the whole essay using ARMS (add, remove, move, substitute).
    Edit the whole essay using CUPS (capitalization, usage, punctuation, spelling).
