Step 1: Submission (earn up to 100% of the possible points for the assignment)
Your submission should include all of the following components:
Content
Describe a “real life” instance of your selected social issue in a professional or a personal setting.
Discuss your perspective on your selected social issue, including the reasons for your viewpoint.
Discuss how your core values inform or influence your perspective on your selected social issue.
Demonstrate that you are really thinking about your issue—don’t settle for easy answers, don’t pretend that conflicting evidence doesn’t exist, and don’t feel that you have to take an either-or position.
Discuss the complexities of your selected social issue. For example, do not just conclude that using academic language is always good, or that government surveillance is always bad, or that wealth automatically leads to health. Think about the intricacies of these issues and how they play out in everyday life.
Organization
Include an introductory paragraph, where you clearly outline a “real-life” instance of your social issue and you give a thesis statement that indicates your perspective (see learning resource: Writing Your Introduction for an example).
Include 3-5 body paragraphs where you include details, examples, and quotes from at least three of the course readings and two additional readings to help you develop and support your key points (see learning resource: Writing Your Body Paragraphs for an example). 
Include one body paragraph where you discuss how your core values inform or influence your perspective on your selected social issue (see learning resource: Writing Your Body Paragraphs for an example).
End your essay with a concluding paragraph where you restate your thesis, summarize your key points, and leave the reader with the “so what?” (see learning resource: Writing Your Conclusion for an example).
Language Choices
As a writer, you are free to decide how you use language, keeping the following in mind:
style: your language choices should result in a consistent writing style that is purposeful and aligned with your goals
readability: your language choices should ensure that your ideas are clear and easy to follow
When composing your paper, think about the conventions for academic writing, including:
punctuation: this includes things such as recommended use of commas, colons, and apostrophes.
word-level accuracy: this includes things such as capitalization, spelling, word-tense, and usage.
sentence-level accuracy: this includes things such as sentence boundaries, subject-verb agreement, and pronoun-antecedent agreement.
Take time to review your language choices after you’ve written your essay. Think about your goals for the style of this essay and your own writing habits (like using “text-speak,” omitting capitalization, or writing sentence fragments). Revise as necessary to accomplish your style and readability goals.
Reading your paper aloud is helpful technique when reviewing your language choices for style and readability.
Sources and Documentation

Note that it is possible to earn a B (up to 85%) on this assignment by using only three sources from the course readings and no reference page. To earn an A (up to 100%) will require an additional two sources and reference page, if needed.

OBJECTIVE: This is an introductory exercise. We’ll see how symbols not only represent each of us as an individual, but also how we use symbols in our everyday ‘western’ culture – and how these symbols can be interpreted in different ways, depending on our culture, age, and when and where we are in history! Even though this is a fun exercise, it is a good exercise in cross-cultural interpretation!!
Instructions: think of an object – any object – that represents who you are. Examples of what people have shared are: picture of a friend/family member; piece of sentimental jewelry; an electronic device (ie, phone); car; musical instrument; piece of clothing; cooking utensil or pic of food; sporting equipment; award or trophy – really, it can be anything! Please share a picture of it here. Answer the following questions: (1) what is the object? (2) a. What does your object say about you that is ‘obvious’? For example, if your object is a basketball, it says you like basketball. b. What does you object say about you that someone else may not know? For example, the basketball was given to you by your grandfather, who was the biggest influence on you and played in the NBA. (3) What does this object say about the culture and country you live in? If you were from a different country, would you understand what this object is? Would you misinterpret this symbol if you were in a different culture?
