TITLE: (TP 03) Theme Paper 03: Contemporary Diversity Issue
DUE DATE: The goal for this week is for you to complete your research and outline your paper. Next week, the Sunday after after Thanksgiving, you will turn in your Theme Paper 03. You have two weeks, inclusive of Thanksgiving, to work on this assignment. Ideally, you will do your research this week, and then complete your write-up during Monday through Wednesday, November 25, 26, and 27. However, the assignment will not close until Wednesday, December 04 due to your standard three-day grace period.
GOAL OF YOUR THEME PAPER: The goal of your Theme Paper 03 is to pick a contemporary issue surrounding a topic related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and then analyze your issue from an OBJECTIVE perspective using the sociological tools you learned this semester. Specifically, you will explore your issue from both a progressive (social construction) perspective and a conservative (essentialist) perspective. You will conclude your Theme Paper 03 by offering your informed position based on your research.
RESEARCH: You will need to find a minimum of four (4) sources covering your topic of interest. These sources can be websites, blogs, newspaper articles, television news broadcasts, and so forth. Make sure that your sources are from well-known and respected sources. AVOID “fake news” and conspiracy outlets.
BALANCED! Your sources must be balanced! One-half of your sources (n = 2) must come from a conservative/essentialist (right-wing) leaning organizations and one-half of your sources (n = 2) must come a processive/social constructionism (left-wing) leaning organizations. Do your very best to get your 4 sources from 4 different organizations.
