Take what was done for the pilot study paper and complete this assignment:
As discussed in class, the structure of the second part of Assignment 3 is the lit review + RQ. Here’s what you’ll submit:
1. Title page in correct APA style (Be sure to have a clear and accurate title reflecting both cultures you’re studying)
2. Introduction (It’s optional if you want to include a small section on the background of the culture you’re studying); roughly 1-2 pages
3. Literature Review – remember to synthesize your sources, roughly 4-5 pages
4. RQ: Clear and concrete, don’t be too abstract, or too narrow; keep in mind the research instrument you’ll be developing, they should reflect the general RQ
5. Reference page – 10+ academic sources in correct APA style
The cross-cultural research proposal paper is the first step of your research project in order to complete the minor. You need to identify a research interest and do a full literature review in support of the topic. A literature review is a synthesized summary of previous research related to your topic. This will give the foundation for your research question and determine your interview questions. You are to consult at least 10 external academic sources which in some way relate to and support your topic area.
This paper, about 10-12 pages of text, needs to include:
Following a title page –
An introduction of the research topic with a rationale for the study (why/how did you select the topic), while providing some background information about the country/society/region, including history, political system, societal structure, cultural characteristics of the country as compared to the U.S. etc., but only topics relevant to your study. This portion should be kept minimal (approximately one page) as you want to leave the main part of your literature to focus on the actual topic. (roughly 1 page or so)
Literature on the specific topic you’re researching –This is a synthesized summary, NOT listing of existing sources on the topic. What has been done related to the issue you’re proposing? What is the significance of the topic? What methods are used and what are the main findings by previous scholars? (roughly about 4-5 pages)
Then, a well-phrased research question or questions, with any discussion or justification).
*This is the end of Assignment 3b, plus your references.
4. Once the question is formed, you’ll be presenting a method of data collection to help you answer the question(s). This is the method section of the paper. It is the actual plan for your data collection for your chosen research topic. The plan should be well thought-out and contain all necessary details about collecting data on the international site. (roughly about 3-4 pages). Specifically,
a). Identify a selected research method for this particular study, by which you’ll collect information that provides answers to your research question(s). Discuss why this is most suitable for your study.
b). Propose specific steps of your data collection process, e.g., for interviews, how many subjects you wish to contact, how many interviews you will conduct, how many times you want to meet them, for how long, what kind of settings in which the interviews will take place, etc. Give a description of the anticipated subjects you will target.
c). What measures will you take to ensure anonymity and risk-free from taking part in this study?
d). Describe the type of results you wish to find and the process/method of data analysis. What theoretical frames/theories will you be applying? What steps will you take to do so?
*Remember: Your interview questions and specific timetables should not be presented as a list or chart in the text, but rather, attached separately to the end of the paper.
5. The paper will conclude with method of data analysis for once you have them, and anticipated outcome of the project. (roughly 1-2 pages; total 10-12 pages in text.)
6. Your complete reference page following the correct APA style. You may cite online sources you’ve consulted and used in your text beyond the required 10+ academic sources. Reference sources such as dictionaries and encyclopedias are not actual sources and don’t need to be included in the reference list.
7. Attach your list of structured interview questions, a survey, logs for field work, coding sheets for observations, or any other instruments you plan to use for data collection.
8. A proposed timetable which provides the expected process of your data collection abroad. Think about what you need to do, steps you’ll take, and estimate approximate timeframe you’ll need to carry out each step in the duration of your planned stay. Don’t forget to incorporate into the timetable your actual courses and activities during the study abroad.
9. Finally, any documents (e.g. specific charts, photos, etc.), to the end of the paper as appendixes. These are not required unless you feel that they are necessary in order to enhance/support/strengthen your project.
*The final paper is Part III of Assignment 3 and is due at the end of the term.

What is the significance of referring to Navajo religion as a “place-based” tradition? What is the religious significance of the land for the Diné?
Why do you suppose that some Diné prefer to refer to their “way of life” rather than their “religion”? How is the term “religion” useful in this case, and how is it reductive or misleading?
How do the concepts of hocho and hozho interact with each other in Diné life and thought? Are they opposites? What practices do the Diné use to move from disharmony to harmony?
What roles do the Holy People play in Diné creation stories and ceremonies? Why does this chapter refer to them as “superbeings” rather than “gods”?
The First Amendment is said to secure the right to religious liberty for U.S. citizens. Why does this constitutional right seem to fail so often when it comes to lands held sacred by Native nations? Why did the courts rule against the Navajo in the controversial Snowbowl case?
