Questioning Customs
Purpose:

The purpose of this essay is to convey to your audience why Customs should not be blindly followed. Certain Customs are in effect because they are handed down from generation to generation but do not necessarily apply to today’s societal needs.

Prompt:

Choose an American Custom to question. Historicize this Custom and make an argument for why and how it should be revised.

In a thesis driven, argumentative essay, argue why your chosen Custom be revised (replaced, altered, substituted, etc) to fit into today’s society. Using your own personal research, address this issue in an objective manner without using any personal narrative.

Points of Emphasis:
Contextualize/Historicize the Custom- Provide context for your audience
How did this Custom come to be? Why did it become a Custom?
This should not be the basis of your argument. You are writing an argumentative essay not an informational essay so you should not spend more than a full paragraph on this.
Counter Argument- This is an argumentative essay. You are not informing your audience of a Custom. In order to guide your essay (and your audience) provide a counter argument thesis and paragraph to ensure that your topic has enough controversy to make it worthy of discussion.
Form/Structure/Organization- Keep your audience in mind. Ensure that you are writing a well organized essay which contains well supported topic sentences which tie back to your thesis. Provide transition words and sentences to ensure that your audience can see a logical sequence in your argument.
Sources- Your essay needs the support of credible sources to make your points arguable. Use sources available to you in the Oviatt Library. You will be allowed to use ONE website, which must be approved by me (Websites in the .edu, .gov, and .org domains have a higher possibility of being approved).
Critical Thinking- It is eminent that you showcase your voice. Ensure that your point is being made by you. Your voice should prevail throughout the essay. Your sources are there to provide support, not to speak for you.

Requirements:

• 4-6 Double Spaced Pages
• Adherence to all MLA guidelines
• 4-6 Credible Sources
• Times New Roman Font
• 12pt Font Size

WHY DOES PLATO BELIEVE THAT ONLY THE PHILOSOPHER OUGHT TO RULE THE STATE?

POSTS 13, 14, 15, 16

POST 13 Act II

POST 14 Act III

POST 15 Act IV

POST 16 Act V

Every post requires two responses.

When you do Posts 13 – 16, i.e. Acts II -V

Remember to begin with a thesis statement, which always includes title of play, writer,

two sentences telling what’s the most important in the act, and then your personal opinion or feeling about what’s happening.

.

You can start something like:

Act II (or III, or IV) in Shakepeare’s play The Merchant of Venice, tells the story of…. (or focuses on, or relates…

Remember: the most important (to your opinion) quote + signal phrase, plus in-text quotes – with citing: only act, scene, page: (Act II, iii, p…)

Then always end with a conclusion or summing up your post.

In addition while doing your posts make an effort to answer at least some of the following questions:

1. Who is the protagonist of the play?

2. Who is the character that represents the title: The Merchant of Venice?

3. What is the role that money/wealth/gold play in the life of each character and in driving the plot.

4. Love vs Money – which is more important and which dominates the play?

5. What is the role that the number 3 plays in the story (as it often does in fairy tales). How many of these triplets can you find? And why do you think that Shakespeare uses so many 3s instead of any arbitrary number? Do you think he planned it and if so, why?

6. Shakespeare calls this play a comedy. Many readers feel the play is a tragedy. What do you think and why? Can a play be both a comedy and a tragedy?

7. Is Shylock a comic or a tragic character?

8. Is Shakespeare anti-Semite? Is the play anti-Semite? Or, contrary, is the play critical of anti Semitic behavior?

9. Do some characters in the play express anti-Semitism, what we call today “ hate-crime”?

10. Is the trial fair?

10. Is Shylock’s punishment fair?

Describe the American city  between about 1880 – 1920s. American cities varied by size, region, and historical origins, and each city had its own distinctive features, but I want you to identity the major themes of urban life (economic, political, cultural, geographical, psychological) and use those themes to create an overall impression of a “typical” or an “average” American city.

Using this book:

Jandt, F. (2010). An introduction to intercultural communication: Identities in a global community (6th ed.). Thousand Oaks, CA. SAGE Publications.

In Chapter 14, Jandt suggests that corporations can present the same communication challenges as those of cultures. In what ways are corporations similar to cultures? Where does the analogy between corporations and cultures end? You may want to provide commentary on Jandt’s mention of Southwest Airlines, or provide your own example. Be sure to refer to your readings for support. You can also choose the following topic or question: How do you define your "identity" and how do you express it, maintain it, and protect it? Give situational examples.

please properly footnote source materials

Hamlet is filled with Shakespeares elaborate play on seeming, i.e. how things seem to be and what is the reality behind the complex screen of appearances. Hamlet himself is the great dissembler, along with Claudius. “Seeming” is at issue in Hamlet’s relationships with Ophelia, with Rosenkranz and Guildenstern, even with his own mother, Gertrude: What is appearance and what is reality in these relationships? The one exception is Laertes. How, in his case, are the appearances completely ruptured at the end?

Assignment:
Your assignment is to argue/debate any essay in your textbook. You are debating the claims of the essay, offering a counter-argument. Make sure it’s something you really disagree with, so you can write a nice juicy essay. All topics must be approved by me by ___.
-first, you must argue using facts and research. Just because you are using the essay, doesn’t mean you get out of supporting your opinions. Stating that the writer is an idiot and therefore wrong, is not arguing.
-second, you must use evidence to support your assertions (SPECIFIC QUOTES from outside sources)
-make sure you are debating the claims of the essay, not just offering your opinion on the topic.
-types of evidence: statistics, examples, authorities, and textual evidence. (Keep in mind: Ideas not beliefs).
-make sure you have a clearly defined thesis
Essay Requirements
-5-7 pages in length.

– a works cited page and in-text quotations and citations in MLA format.

The essay you are counter arguing is the right here:

Nutrition activists are agitating for a panoply of initiatives that would bring the government between you and your waistline. President Bush earmarked $125 million in his budget for the encouragement of healthy lifestyles. State legislatures and school boards have begun banning snacks and soda from school campuses and vending machines. Several state legislators and Oakland, California, Mayor Jerry Brown, among others, have called for a “fat tax” on high-calories foods. Congress is considering menu-labeling legislation that would force chain restaurants to list, fat, sodium, and calories for each item.
That is precisely the wrong way to fight obesity, Instead of intervening in the array of food options available to American, out government ought to be working to foster a personal sense of responsibility for our health and well-being.
We’re doing just the opposite. For decades, America’s health-care system has been migrating toward nationalized medicine. We have a law that requires some Americans to pay for other American’s medicine, and several states bar health insurers from charging lower premiums to people who stay fit. That removes the financial incentive for making healthy decisions. Worse, socialized health care makes us troublingly tolerant of government trespasses on our personal freedom. If my neighbors’ heart attack shows up on my tax bill, I’m more likely to support state regulation of what he eats-restrictions on what grocery stores can put on their shelves, for example, or what McDonald’s can put between its sesame-seed buns.
The best way to combat the public-health threat of obesity is to remove obesity from the realm of “public health.” It’s difficult to think of a matter more private and less public than what we choose to put in our bodies. Give Americans moral, financial and personal responsibility for their own health, and obesity is no longer a public matter but a private one-with all the costs, concerns and worries of being overweight borne only by those people who are actually overweight.
Let each of us take full responsibility for our diet and lifestyle. We’re likely to make better decisions when someone else isn’t paying for the consequences

it can’t have anymore then 4 sources.
