This semester we are using the Grusky text to integrate significant articles on race and ethnicity. into the class.  Using the required readings and any other articles to total fifteen (15) Grusky articles write an annotated bibliography of each of the 15 articles. If you are unfamiliar with annotated bibliographies go to the Purdue of OWL site https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/01/ for further information. Include, with subheadings to delineate-do not insert the information in parentheses: a. Thesis (What is the main point of this book or article?) b. Topics (What topics are covered?) c. Argument (What are the main arguments?) d.  Historical/theoretical perspective (Fit in the historical and sociological theoretical perspective. How does this article fit into the historical approach to a sociological explanation of race and ethnicity? Which theoretical perspective does it support?) e. Non-sociological summary (Conclude a brief “elevator speech summary”, to a non-sociologist, explaining how this article fits into an understanding of race and ethnicity.) f.

Hello everyone, this week we are covering images of Indigenous people in North America and I will be leading the tutorial discussion.   In the text, The Truth About Stories: A Native Narrative. “Chapter II: You’re not the Indian I had in mind” by Thomas King he discusses how oftentimes Indigenous people in North America are pictured as having this particular ‘look’ and ‘image’. This particular look and image of Indigenous people in North America is one that commonly portrays Indigenous people as being “Noble Savages”. In the first video below, we see that Indigenous culture and people are oftentimes used as logos and mascots by institutions and professional Sport teams whether it is for the McGill ‘Redmen’, Edmonton ‘Eskimos’, Chicago ‘Blackhawks’, Washington ‘Redskins’, or Cleveland ‘Indians’. Likewise, in the second video below we see that oftentimes films such as ‘Pocahontas’ seem to portray Indigenous people as savage and primitive beings. In this week’s text, King mentions that photographers looking to take pictures of Indigenous people in North America would often carry boxes of First Nation paraphernalia such as wigs, blankets, painted backdrops, and clothing in case they ran into “Indians who did not look as the Indian was supposed to look” (41). In the text, King makes reference to contemporary Indigenous figures such as entertainment legend Will Rogers. King insinuates that when people think about Indigenous people they do not think about people like Rodgers because they do not “look Indian” (41). Overall, these stereotypes regarding Indigenous people in North America has resulted in some Indigenous people being viewed as not “authentic” or “real” due to them not fitting other people’s imagination of what they should look like. See Media link Video #1:   Play Video   See Media Link Video #2:   Play Video   Questions: #1).  Why do you think photographers and film makers are so obsessed with the image and portrayal of Indigenous people  as being ‘primitive’ and “Noble Savages”?  and why do you think there is so much less imagery of contemporary Indigenous culture and people? #2). How can we hold Universities, sport teams, and film makers accountable for the images they portray of Indigenous people? and how might this help us in changing the racist and stereotypical narratives of Indigenous people in popular culture?

Often, undergraduate psychology students have the misconceptions that in order to be employed, they must attend graduate school. This is absolutely false. There are many career paths that can be pursued with a bachelor degree in psychology. However, for some students, graduate school is the best choice. Do you plan to attend graduate school? If so, explain why, including how attending graduate school will help you to reach your professional goals? What steps have you taken to prepare? If not, explain why you do not need to attend graduate school at this time. What career do you plan to pursue upon graduation? How have you prepared for it?

follow the intruction, I have 800 words already, i need it to extend to 1500 words As you revise, I want you to focus on improving your close reading and analysis of the story. Right now, your audience has a hard time understanding your argument about the tale because they don’t receive concrete evidence of the argument in the passages or in your analysis. I’ve provided more detailed commentary below: – Your thesis right now is incredibly vague. You stick on the level of theme: you merely state that LRRH reflects on gender relationships. But you don’t actually clarify for your audience what the story is SAYING about those relationships, and how that commentary might reflect or critique the values of its culture (in this case, early-1800s Germany). You need to state—using specific language—the argument that you wish to make, and then explain what passages/characters/literary devices you will analyze to make this argument. – How does the story portray female activities? You should quote the specific passage you have in mind to let your audience see this. Also, do we really think firewood fetching is a feminine activity? It takes place outside of the home, after all. – What does it mean for the mother to act as an agent in favor of patriarchal norms? Consider the relevance of internalized misogyny and learned behavior. – What do woods tend to represent in fairy tales? Are they dangerous areas? – I don’t necessarily understand the importance of your commentary on the woods scene. Are you suggesting that there is a natural division between femininity and masculinity? – You are trying to cover the entire story, which means that a lot of your analysis is underdeveloped. In other words, you are trying to do too much. You need to choose 2-4 IMPORTANT moments in the story and stick closely with those examples to make larger claims about the story and its ideological function. pick the story from Little Red Riding Hood: Cinderella: Beauty and the Beast: Bluebeard: As you revise, I want you to focus on improving your close reading and analysis of the story.

You haven’t necessarily built as convincing case to this point that the Brothers Grimm are using this story to comment on gender relations. You really think that the grandmother being a woman is the deciding element for the wolf’s act? That he wouldn’t have committed violence if it was, instead, a baby boy or a crippled grandfather? I want you to be careful of concluding “men dangerous, women helpless” in your readings, because I think it’s more complicated than that. – The wolf is literally trying to get LRRH into a bed. Do more with this. 14:31  Kevin Franklin read Nov 6, 15:33 lowest bid only read Nov 6, 14:31 As you revise, I want you to focus on improving your close reading and analysis of the story.
