Weight: 20% of the Final Grade
Length and Formatting: 6-8 pages, typed, double-spaced, with a left-justified margin, black 12-point, Times New Roman font, written in 3rd person.
Brainstorming for the Essay: Think about essays one and two write a few sentences about what Ethical Perspectives are at play in and among Social Circles, Communities, Education, and Employment within those essays. Next, in one sentence try to flesh out what Ethical Perspective Trevor Noah is pointing out, and what are the main points with which he seemed to want to leave readers. (Remember this is not a book report, you are using Trevor Noah as a starting point to help ground and provide evidence for your Synthesis.) Then, underneath each sentence list the evidence provided by each of the writers such as: examples? Numeric data? Or Something else? Explanatory Synthesis of an Ethical Perspective on a Cultural or Ethnic Group.
Assignment: What is an ethical position that the population should adopt, on the role of cultural activism in relationship to formal or informal situations among Racial Group Dominance and Subordination? Consider: The value of how social circles among cultures work, how communities view cultural activism that is not of their own native origin, how educational and employment opportunities differ.
There is not one definitive answer here, but a range of possible positions, each of which may affect how we see and treat people who continue to survive in a socially controversial world. For example, the position that the majority population takes on this topic may influence the level of respect that your readers give to people who learn how to deal with different cultures. Or the position that you propose may ultimately influence the value with which many of your peers continue forming their own social circles, communities, education, or employment.
- As you write your paper, you should give specific evidence from 3 of the (individual chapters) within Trevor Noah.
- You should provide what the perspectives are within social circles, communities, education, or employment; the perspectives may overlap with one or more of the works that you cite, but even so, the highlighted position should come across clearly.
- Include one visual to illustrate your own perspective. Explanatory Synthesis of an Ethical Perspective on a Cultural or Ethnic Group
Audience: Imagine that your paper will be read by local city leaders who can influence the higher education and job training options in Houston. These leaders are studying the perspectives of community members like you before they do further research and then make recommendations to local leaders in education, business, and industry about the kinds of postsecondary education and/or job training to support in the coming years.
