Cycle Of Oppression

For your final exam answer please use the following readings and questions for your paper: Part IX: Social Change: Revisioning the Future and Making a Difference Read “Part IX – 4: “Interrupting the Cycle of Oppression” by Andrea Ayvazian and Part IX -5: “The Pitfalls of Ally Performance: Why Coalition Work Is More Effective Than Ally Theater” From Part IX, read, “Interrupting the Cycle of Oppression: The Role of Allies as Agents of Change” by Andrea Ayvazian and “The Pitfalls of Ally Performance: Why Coalition Work Is More Effective Than Ally Theater” by Anderson and Accomando. What is an ally? Does Ayvazian’s use of the term provide an adequate model for people in dominant positions in the culture or people with relative power to enact social change? Why or why not? What do Anderson and Accomando say about coalition work? Write an essay in which you compare Ayvazian’s and Anderson and Accomando’s articles and their use of the term “ally.” Where do you see their arguments as overlapping? How are they different? How can you apply these concepts to your own life and position in relationship to social movements? Make sure you provide some concrete examples in your paper. There is no page limit for the exam, however in order to maximize the potential of earning full credit, please answer all of the questions to develop your essay. My recommendation is to write a minimum of 3 – 5 pages, double spaced. This is just to give you some guidance if you come up with more or less you will be graded on the quality of your work, not the quantity.
