PART 1 OF THE ASSIGNMENT: THESIS STATEMENT
I strongly suggest you make an appointment with me on Zoom to review your proposal. Email me to set up an appointment. This should help you narrow and organize your topic of interest.
Instructions
1. Look into the list provided for possible topics published under Paper Part 2 link in the assignments menu. You can also find them below.
2. Map of your paper. It should include:
Thesis statement: Specific problem/question that you will be addressing.
Outline: Three main argument you will use to support your thesis.
Potential bibliography of five academic sources.
What is a thesis statement?
A thesis statement is “a proposition stated as a conclusion which you will then demonstrate or ‘prove’ in your paper.” It is the cornerstone on which your research will be built upon. It is usually stated in the form of an assertion or statement you resolve through your research.
Example:
“Key decisions in large U.S. cities are made by a handful of individuals, drawn largely from business, industrial, and municipal circles, who occupy the top of the power hierarchy.”
A thesis takes a position on an issue. It is not neutral. You must take a position or develop a claim about a subject, you need to convey that position or claim in a thesis statement in your research paper. It announces, in addition to the topic, the argument you want to make or the point you want to prove. This is your own opinion that you intend to back up. This is your reason and motivation for writing. A thesis statement:
i) tells the reader how you will interpret the significance of the subject matter under discussion.
ii) is a roadmap for the paper; in other words, it tells the reader what to expect from the rest of the paper.
iii) directly answers the question asked of you. A thesis is an interpretation of a question or subject, not the subject itself. The subject, or topic, of an essay, might be Women, Nature, and Religion or Feminism and Religion; a thesis must then offer a way to understand the intersection of these concepts.
iv) makes a claim that others might dispute.
v) is usually a single sentence somewhere in your first paragraph that presents your argument to the reader. The rest of the paper, the body of the essay, gathers and organizes evidence that will persuade the reader of the logic of your interpretation. After you have done some preliminary research and reading on your narrowed-down topic, you should formulate a single-sentence thesis statement.
Paper Topic Options
The term paper may be on any one of the following topics. These are broad platforms, make sure to narrow it down. I will also entertain student suggestions for term paper topics.
The bioethics debate around sexual morality: roles of genetics and reason.
Feminist theology and their commentary on: (Focus on a particular religion)The problem of evil: how do women read scripture to justify evil events such as genocides and mass violence.
Environmental abuse.
Family and reproduction.
Education and inclusivity.
Mysticism and the experience of the holy.
The coming of modern democracy as the harbinger of changing sexual morality.
Equality for women and the authority of scripture. (Focus on a particular religion.)
Christian theology and the quest for women’s equality in society.
The ends of sex in ______ and _______ (choose two well -known religious thinkers who have written extensively on the topic).
GLBT members and ministers: analyze the current state of acceptance in two Christian denominations.
Judaism and homosexuality.
Islam: identifying the barriers to women’s religious, familial and social equality. (Best choose a particular Muslim nation or it can get too complicated.)
The goddess today: feminine representations of the sacred. The shifting faces of the Virgin Mary for Latin American women (Choose a country. You can also look into the case of Chicanas in the U.S.).

Drawing from your reading on the Social Construction of Beauty, what amused you, surprised you, or disturbed you? How does this compare to your previous understanding of Asian/Asian American women? Your answers should be between 500-600 words. Don’t forget to include a creative title.
Please see attached

Reflection Guidelines
All reflections are evaluated for completion. As long as you meet the requirements listed below, you will receive full credit for each assignment.
Please write freely as these reflections should function like a journal entry.
Each reflection should be a mix of personal reflections and critical analyses. You can be candid in your responses, but I do expect some academic analysis (this can be as simple as assessing how the materials are connected/build upon each other, what the authors did well, where arguments can be improved, etc.).
Most importantly, I really want to know what you think about the weekly materials, so please do not summarize the materials. You can quote (sparingly) if you want to, but these reflections should primarily be in your own words and should reflect your own views/beliefs.
Be sure to refer to 2-3 of the weekly materials (again, you can just refer to the article/author/concepts/etc. No need to provide a summary)
Reflection must be between 250-500 words.
