CHOOSE ONLY ONE PROMPT FOR THE JOURNAL ENTRY. Prompt 1: Suppose you think your country’s form of distributive justice is seriously flawed. How could you argue for this view? What theory of justice explains this flaw? Argue that either the general distribution in a country or some specific distributive practice (like job distribution, or work in the household) is unjust and give your reasons in the context of a specific theory of justice we covered (Plato’s, Social Contract Theorists’, Marx and Engels’, or Okin’s). Consider a possible counterpoint (question or problem) to one of your reasons given.     Prompt 2: Does Okin’s claim about the injustice of current practices of family life coincide with your own observations of family life on our culture? Argue that it does or does not, and give reasons as your explanation. Consider a possible counterpoint (question or problem) to one of your reasons given.   Prompt 3: What is the just form of retribution or punishment for criminal acts? Should we give an ‘eye for an eye’ as Hammurabi said, should rehabilitation be the goal of punishment, should it be to make an example of the criminal, or something else? Consider one or two specific criminal acts and argue for your idea of retributive justice for those acts by connecting it to one or more of the theories of justice we have covered (Plato’s, Social Contract Theorists’, Marx and Engels’, or Okin’s). Consider a possible counterpoint (question or problem) to one of your reasons given.

Learning involves change. Most learning theories posit that your behaviors, perspectives, and/or beliefs are products of what you’ve learned in the past, and they will continue to be influenced by what you learn in the future. The purpose of this assignment is to allow you the opportunity to pause and notice what you’ve learned in this course (i.e., how you’ve changed) and intentionally reflect upon what this means for your future actions, perspectives and/or beliefs. This is partially retrospective, but there should definitely be a forward-thinking component. Please see http://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/openminded/?p=318 for a brief description of Reflective Learning.     The essay should address ALL of the following:  ?    Explain the most important concept, content area, or skill learned during this course.  ?    Why it is valuable to you (personally or professionally)? ?    What processes helped you learn it? (skills/strategies that helped with processing- organizing, focusing, elaborating, applying, writing, etc) ?    How can understanding it, and the process by which you learned it, influence your future endeavors?  I uploaded the powerpoint so you can pick a topic you want to write about.  Format requirements: 1-page paper (350-500 words), Times New Roman or Arial 12 point font, 1 inch margins.   Learning Objectives: ?    Justify value of learned content/skill ?    Predict the impact of the learning

FINAL REFLECTION Choose an object from your actual real life that could serve as an “artifact” of your 2020 COVID-19 experience. Imagine this: 100 years from now, a historian finds all the objects left by our class and puts together an exhibit of these objects in order to represent the COVID-19 quarantine, so that people in the year 2120 can understand it. Each object in the exhibit represents a different individual’s COVID-19 experience, and each object reveals or embodies something about this moment, its rhythms, its tone, what it was like, how it felt. We are those individuals! Your assignment is to choose an object to represent your experience, and use that object to explore/explain/analyze/reflect on your experience. You can choose any object, BUT NOTHING MEDICAL — no masks, no ventilators, no thermometers or pulse oximeters, nothing related to the medical field — and NOT YOUR PHONE, because that’s just too obvious. You must write at least 350 words. You must create more than one paragraph. Consider the following questions to get your writing ideas flowing enough to write 350 words. Make written notes before you start your reflection! You do not have to answer all of the questions in your reflection — only the ones whose answers feel relevant. Answer in enough detail to make your description unique. Don’t write answers that could apply to just anyone or any object. You don’t choose your blue hoodie because “I use it every day,” anyone can say that! You choose your blue hoodie because… “After a while I could not stand being around my family anymore and my inability to get privacy was making me feel crazy. But my sanity was saved by a blue hoodie. My blue hoodie was never my favorite. It isn’t as soft as my red one. But the blue one has the biggest hood, so I could pull it over my head and it would come out so far past my face that no one could see in to my face unless they were right in front of me, and I didn’t have to see anyone else unless I turned to face them straight on. That, plus a pair of headphones, and I could just stare out the window with Bob Marley playing in my ears and tell myself I was at the beach, with the blue waves rolling over me.” ^^^ THIS is an example of detailed description! But note that it is only ONE paragraph, not enough to fulfill the assignment. Remember, 350 words. Remember, MORE THAN ONE paragraph! Use your paragraphs to group your ideas, aspects of the object, facets of your experience, etc. — you can decide how to organize this paper, but it should be deliberately organized. HERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS TO GET YOU STARTED: Describe the object in detail. What does it look like? What is it used for? Is your relationship to the object visual, tactile, auditory, etc.? Is your relationship to the object passive, active, interactive, etc.? Get into the nature of YOUR EXPERIENCE with the object. How did you come to have this object? Where/when/who is it from? Is there a story to why it pleases you, entertains you, or comforts you? Why is it important to you? How does the object make you feel? What SUBTLE CUES or SMALL CHANGES do you feel in your body, speech, attitude, mind, etc., when you have/use/grasp/handle/look at/wear/etc. the object? What’s the difference between you with the object and you without the object? How does this object fit into the rhythm of your days? When do you use it, and how often? Do you use it on a schedule, at set times or regular intervals — or do you reach for it whenever you feel like it? To your mind, how does the object represent this moment in history? How is this object instructive of the 2020 COVID-19 experience? What does it have to teach future historians (or the people of 2021) about life during COVID-19?
