3. Submitted via inline window in Canvas. The safest way to do this is to write your essay offline in Word and then copy/paste it directly into the inline text window here in Canvas. Be aware that some formatting may disappear and this is ok.
4. Must use at least two sources–one must come from class at the minimum. Any second outside source must be scholarly (use the online search function in the library to find articles and/or eBooks). Journalism from reputable sources are useful to support and expand an idea, but be sure you are basing your primary arguments on resources we have read in class.

Length: 4-5 type-written pages
Assignment: Summarize and critique a scholarly article from an academic journal dealing with this issue. The first half of the essay should present a concise, objective summary of the author’s thesis, major supporting points and evidence, along with a clear understanding of the topic’s overall importance to the reader. The second half of the essay should present a detailed evaluation, assessing the validity of the author’s thesis, examining the implications of the argument as it relates to topics we have been discussing in class, and offering your own insight into the issues raised in the original article backed by evidence from your own research into primary source material.

Note: Be sure to choose an article by a modern scholar writing within the last 60 years. The article must examine directly a film or work of literature we are covering in class. Please choose an article that runs at least 8-12 pages. A link to a copy of the original article must accompany the essay. Direct quotes from the article, as well as paraphrases and specific references to key concepts and arguments should be cited in your essay. Be sure to include MLA-style citations for all quotes and other direct references taken from your research sources, and include complete bibliographic references on a works cited page at the conclusion.

Discuss Okun’s view of culture, binary, and the power of vision and why you think it is difficult to discuss racism in every day life. Analyze racism, evaluate the effects of racism, and compare racism and racialism. I have attached the source:

READ definitions below on what is racialism.
Racialism definition #1. (Sociology) the belief that races have distinctive cultural characteristics determined by hereditary factors and, that this endows some races with an intrinsic superiority over others.
Racialism definition #2. (Sociology) abusive or aggressive behavior towards members of another race on the basis of such a belief (ˈracist, ˈracialist n, adj racialistic adj)

This class is part of a behavior analysis course.
Two of the topics we discussed were the self-fulfilling prophecy and heuristic biases in terms of evaluating our or others’ achievements. With regards to the self-fulfilling prophecy we referenced stereotypes used in society to reference commonly held descriptors based on race, and how these could pigeon hole selected professions. Many success stories we are likely to read about can often be exceptions rather than portray and accurate picture, and this can lead to a heuristic bias for evaluating the ease of breaking out of SES brackets, much like when we experience more anxiety flying vs driving because the media reports plane crashes more often than car crashes leading to an over-estimate of the risk of that activity. The external attribution bias or self-serving bias describes how many might be more likely to take ownership of our successes and attribute external environmental factors for our failures, while doing the reverse for others e.g. “that individual failed because they are lazy.”
For your 3 point extra credit assignment use the below cartoon to identify what processes are in play that preserve barriers for Paula and make it unlikely that Richard will help fight on behalf of people like Paula. I have purposely avoided discussing demographic groups, but adding this factor would probably increase the in-group and out-group biases in play.

Submit at least 300 words discussing this topic. It says 0 points, but I add the points in after the assignment is completed to make sure it goes toward the extra credit rather than increasing the total

Must not be written by AI. Please let me know if any further clarification is needed.
We have extensively discussed the concept of locating oneself within a worldview. Specifically we have focused on self-locating relative to a set of norms—whether they are personal, social, cultural, religious, abstract or a complex combination of properties. For example, we began the course by self-locating in to the position of amputees by choice. Next, we moved on to finding a general location for ‘personhood’. One of the goals of this course is to understand our relative distance from practices, persons, perspectives, and norms. If we are precise about our self-location we can understand to what extent our understanding is limited.
Your task is to choose a social, cultural, religious, biological, abstract conceptual, or complex (relational) norm and to analyze the following components in an essay (see essay guidelines below):
Explain how this norm works as a ‘worldview’. That is, what are the values, practices, linguistic and conceptual components, and perspectives of the cultural norm?
What are the ways in which this cultural norm is communicated to its members? Here, focus on verbal, non-verbal, written, and any other form of communication. Be exact about the diverse ways in which the norm is communicated.
In what way does an outsider of this norm fail to understand the worldview? Discuss both the general and the specific: A) Discuss the failures of translation between a general outsider of the norm and the norm that you have chosen; B) Discuss the ways in which a specific “other” norm (here you can use any norm at all) would fail to understand the norm that you have chosen.
Give a solution to the problem that you have posed in 3. That is, how can we solve the failure in understanding/translation between norms? Can that failure of understanding be alleviated in any way?
Your essay must: Within each of our checkpoint weeks (see syllabus), we will be working on specific tasks for each of these components. You will be working on both topic development and structured writing. Directions will be provided during each of the checkpoint weeks.
