Discuss a real-world intercultural communication problem.

Term Paper
As part of the upper division general education program, this course is writing intensive. To meet that standard, you will prepare a term paper that is a minimum of 2,500 words in length (approximately 10 pages), not including your title page or list of references. Since this is a course in communication, how you communicate your ideas in this paper (i.e., grammar, spelling, proofreading, clarity, style, referencing, etc.) substantially influences my evaluation of your work. If your paper does not reflect upper-division writing proficiency, it will earn no credit. You will need to integrate a minimum of 7 credible, academic sources into your discussion, properly citing and referencing them using a standard format (I prefer APA style, but MLA or Chicago are acceptable as well).
While you have an incredible degree of freedom in determining the direction of your paper, I expect that your discussion will cover the following four major topic areas, in the following order:
⦁ PROBLEM: Discuss a real-world intercultural communication problem. This should be very specific and narrow. For example, it is not sufficient to use something as vague as “sometimes people from different cultures misunderstand each other.” Instead, your statement of the problem should specify the context of the communication problem (Workplace? Interpersonal? Family? Education? Healthcare? Something else?), specify who is involved, specify what cultures are involved, and give evidence of how culture relates to the problem Further you should also clearly describe one specific, non-fictional example of how this problem plays out. While you may use your own personal experiences to illustrate your discussion of the problem, you must also go beyond your own personal experiences and cite credible evidence of the problem. Overall, I am looking for you to give clear, compelling evidence that a problem exists, evidence of the inherency (also known as the source or cause) of the problem, and evidence that harm results from the problem. I would strongly suggest that you discuss your statement of the problem with me well in advance of moving forward with any other part of this paper. It would be important that you start off on the right track, and you should take the initiative to ensure that you are by consulting with me.

⦁ THEORY: Discuss a specific theory of intercultural communication in substantial depth. You may select any theory discussed in your textbook, and your textbook is a good initial source. Start by picking a chapter in your textbook that seems to help you better understand the intercultural communication problem you discussed in part 1, above. Look for specific concepts and ideas, that are of interest to you and that could be explored more deeply. Consider looking up some of the original sources that your textbook cites. Go substantially beyond your textbook and use a number of primary academic sources to further round out your discussion and demonstrate your in-depth understanding of this theory. I am looking to see a good number of credible, academic sources cited here. This section should be cited heavily. Avoid using quotations – paraphrase your research into an original discussion. Make sure that your source citations are accurately and correctly documented.

⦁ ANALYSIS & APPLICATION: Discuss how this theory applies to the communication problem you discussed in the first part of your paper. You should bring together a specific element of the problem and a specific element of the theory, and draw reasonable conclusions from applying the theory to the problem.
4. PRAXIS: Throughout your textbook, and particularly in Chapters 1 and 10, Sorrells (2013) emphasizes the importance of taking action – of applying your understanding of intercultural communication to make a difference and engage as a global citizen. In this section of your paper, based on your analysis and application in part 3, discuss what can be done to help resolve (or at least work toward a resolution) of the problem you discussed in the first part of your paper. Please focus on yourself and your behaviors. It doesn’t do much good to hope someone else acts differently; in this section of the paper, discuss what action YOU can take.
Of course, the body of your paper should begin with a strong but brief introductory paragraph end with an even more concise concluding paragraph, contain well-structured paragraphs that start with a topic sentence and end with a transition to the next paragraph, and all reflect mastery of all of the other skills and techniques appropriate for university level writing.
Note that in the above description I talk about some “minimum” expectations for your work. A paper that just barely meets the most minimal of expectations is NOT “outstanding” and will most likely earn an “average” (“C”) grade. If you are attempting to earn a grade higher than a “C,” then your work should go well beyond the minimum requirements, employ skilled use of language, contain no errors in grammar or style, and reflect an insightful, sophisticated, and truly original treatment of your topic.

Discuss the concept of epigenesis in light of your family history.

The Reaction Paper Assignment

You will be writing a 1,000 word Reaction Paper in this course using the instructions and links found below. You will be completing the following tasks and gathering the following information for your paper:

Watch the epigenetics video from PBS. Begin your paper by defining epigenetics in your own words and discussing your reaction to the video.
Research and locate one article on epigenetics (select a study on research conducted on humans, not plants or insects) from a reputable academic source:
Reputable Sources:

journal articles
government publications based on research
Do not use:

magazines of any sort
Wikipedia
How to Perform Your Research

Use the College Library in person or online (log in with your MDC ID number. Your password is the last four digits of your MDC ID unless you have changed it).

Read the epigenetics article you find. Continue your paper with a discussion of the epigenetics article. Be sure to paraphrase (put things in your own words) and be sure to cite the author(s) of the article you find using APA style (see the section below on using APA style). Aim for about a page for this part of your paper.
Complete the Family History-Dr. Oz.pdf . Discuss the concept of epigenesis in light of your family history. Aim for one page for this section of your paper.
Complete theBlueZones.com Vitality Compass Life Expectancy Questionnaire. From the BlueZones home page, click on Live Longer and then on Vitality Compass. Print the report and integrate your findings into your discussion. Aim for another page.
Discuss how you can improve your health and longevity in light of your findings in these questionnaires, your understanding of epigenetics, and your knowledge of your family history. This should be your final page.
You can go over or under a page for any of the sections of the paper as long as your total paper is 1,000 words not counting the references.

General Rules for an “A” Paper

Double-spaced, 12-point font, 1-inch margins
Covers all 6 tasks
SpellcheckedCollege-level grammar

Submit the paper by the deadline in the Calendar & Checklist (usually at the end of Week 12 in 16-week semesters, and Week 9 in 12-week semesters) in the Turnitin Drop Box located in the Papers section of the Course Content area of the Course Menu.The Turnitin Drop Box will open the day after the Midterm Exam closes so that you have time to submit your paper, review the originality report, and resubmit your paper if necessary until you have a plagiarism score of under 10%. If you resubmit, note that it takes 24 hours for your new score to show up in the Turnitin Drop Box.
Submission to Turnitin Drop Box

You will be submitting your paper in the Turnitin Drop Box in Blackboard in this same folder (Course Content area, Paper). You do NOT have to go to Turnitin to submit your paper. The paper will open after the midterm exam and will remain open until the due date shown in the Calendar & Checklist.
About Turnitin

Turnitin is a plagiarism checking software. It checks to see if your work is original. We have set the Turnitin Drop Box so you can submit your paper as many times as you want until the due date. That will allow you to check your plagiarism score and see where your work is not original. You can then rephrase that section and put it into your own words. The expectation in this course is that your paper scores no more than 10% in plagiarism. You will be able to resubmit your paper as many times as you need to in order to get it right. Note that it takes 24 hours to see your new plagiarism score after resubmission. No more than 2 or 3 quotes in the entire paper, please.
Avoiding Plagiarism

You must be careful not to copy someone else’s ideas and not to copy and paste ideas from the sources you find. Copying and pasting from someone else’s work is considered plagiarism. You may use other people’s ideas, but you have to put them in your own words and reference the source. Putting things in your own words is called “paraphrasing.” And you must put the reference right after the idea. Needless to say, submitting plagiarized papers, including those copied from one of the Web sites that have “free” papers or even papers you can buy, will result in a penalty. That penalty is up to your instructor, but it will result in at least your receiving a ZERO GRADE for the paper. The paper is worth 10% of your grade in this course. Don’t risk it!
APA Style and References

One thing you will need to do in college is learn how to find and use references. References support your ideas. College-level work must be supported by research. You are expected to do that for this paper. You will research, locate, and use one reputable source from the literature on the topic of epigenetics/epigenesis. The “literature” is composed of studies that have been conducted in a scholarly way to support ideas. Scholarly sources can be found in journals or in some Web sites, especially those that come from .edu domains (.edu is short for “educational” Web sites) or .gov domans (.gov are government sites). The College Libraries have dozens of good journals you can use. You will be using the College Library for this paper. You may do the research in person or use the Web to access our library. See your librarian for more information on finding credible sources.
In APA style, you cite a source in two places: within the body of the paper where you use the idea or words of the author of the paper; and again in the Reference List at the end of the paper. For example, you might say, “According to Researcher A (2011)…epigenetics is…” What you must do is supply the researcher’s name within a sentence or at the end of a sentence in parenthesis (Researcher A, 2011). Then you give the full information for locating the study in the Reference List. That’s what Reference Lists are for: they allow the person reading your paper to look up your source if they want to. So remember, citing references APA style, requires two things: 1) that you cite the reference within the body of the paper, and 2) that you list the full reference at the end in the Reference List.
APA Tutorial

There are multiple tutorials and other training sources on APA style at the APA Web site. You do NOT have to buy the APA Manual to do this paper.

Decide what the problem is, why it is a problem and then discern what you hope to do about it.

Develop a 1- page description of what you will be doing. There are several ways to get at what social justice action you would like to work on. One way is to look locally, nationally, or internationally and discover a problem that you really think is unfair. In this brief paper, you should decide what the problem is, why it is a problem (what values or beliefs does this state of affairs violate for you?), and then discern what you hope to do about it (what actions you will engage in).
