  • Exemplification – Effects of Smoking

    $10.00

    Essay #2: Exemplification

    Assignment:

    Exemplification uses one or more particular cases, or examples, to illustrate or explain a general point or an abstract concept” (Patterns 211).

    “Sweeping generalizations and vague statements are not nearly as effective as specific observations, anecdotes, details, and opinions…Exemplification is used in every kind of writing situation to explain and clarify, to add interest, and to persuade” (212).

    Exemplification essays usually begin with an introduction that includes the thesis statement, which is supported by examples in the body of the essay. Each body paragraph may develop a separate example, present a point illustrated by several brief examples, or explore one aspect of a single extended example that is developed throughout the essay. The conclusion reinforces the essay’s main idea, perhaps restating the thesis.” (215).

    Communicating our “ideas” requires the use of clear, detailed, and relevant examples in order to successfully reach our intended audience. All you need to do is develop a list of ideas (shoot for 10) related to topics or subjects of interest to you, try writing about 2 or 3 of those ideas, select the idea you feel most interested in, and draft an essay using a series of examples to help clarify for readers your idea. To write using exemplification is both practical and effective; readers will appreciate it!

    Suggestions:

    -Read over pages 211-225 in Patterns.

    -Use freewriting and journal writing to quickly develop a list of 10 topics/issues/questions that might serve as a basis for your essay. Things that are bugging you make good essay topics, so do “issues” you believe need attention and/or solutions.

    -Once you have the list generated, take 2 or 3 of the items for a “test drive”. Write 150 words or so on each of the 2 or 3 topics. Make sure you choose topics that you both care about and know about, topics that have a direct effect on your life.

    -Bring your experimental drafts to class and share them with a classmate. Consider the feedback you receive from your peers, and then begin drafting your essay.

    -Make a clear statement about your topic (thesis). Don’t be shy; say what you mean.

    -Then, begin writing a few examples that might help make your point clear. Your final draft must include at least 5 distinct, relevant examples.

    -Remember, one of the most powerful aspects of writing with examples is the ability to make abstract or unfamiliar ideas clear to most readers. Consider situations or issues analogous to the issue you have chosen. Analogies are very effective in reaching readers.

    -Utilize what you’ve learned already while writing the “Personal Narrative” essay to describe the details that will make each example clear to readers.

    Examples from Patterns to look over:

    -Deborah Rhodes’ “Why Looks are the Last Bastion of Discrimination” (246-250).

    -Zev Chafets’ “Let Steroids into the Hall of Fame” (253-255).

    Social Marginalism as a Common Factor in Terrorism

    Using the hypothesis that “Terrorism comes from the SOCIALLY MARGINALIZED”
    Therefore the hypothesis is that terrorism may be for political gain but has it’s roots in social marginalization. In the following three cases of terrorism, use this hypothesis to connect them all together.

    3. And the third religious terrorism Pakistan’s Lashkar E- Taiba

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lashkar-e-Taibain the 2008 Mumbai Attacks to analyze each according to four distinct requirements as outlined below:

    • A. Identify and describe the facts of each case separately, the individuals or groups involved, the perpetrators, declared objectives, the authorities, reaction, and the eventual outcome.
    • B. Apply your understanding of the case studies to analyze the processes leading to each event/case, the circumstances surrounding the ways each event unfolded, and the causes responsible for the subsequent results. If appropriate, distinguish between facts and commonly held myths about these cases.
    • C. Evaluate each of the three cases according to the same one assumption or hypothesis concerning causes of terrorism from the repertoire of theory you have acquired during this course.
    • D. Discuss the usefulness of the selected assumption/hypothesis “That terrorism comes from the socially marginalized” when applied to each of the three cases. Specifically, assess whether or not it is relevant and contributes to the analysis and understanding of each case.

    Your essay should be about 5 pages. Construct the reply by mirroring the format of the question and providing four distinct sections: A, B, C and D.

  • The social construction of reality

    $2.50

    The social construction of reality

    The Trayvon Martin murder trial illustrated the social construction of reality. The victim of the crime was defined, the aggressor’s motivations were assumed, and the context of the interaction was used to create a legal interpretation of what occurred. Only race was left out of the process.

    What do you think? Using the idea of the social construction of reality and interactionist sociology, what do you see in this case?

  • Critical Essay on Cultural Anthropology

    $25.00

    Critical Essay on Cultural Anthropology

    For the creative writing assignment, the idea is to think creatively about how to express your knowledge of cultural anthropology concepts.  For example, you could do a short fictional story from the point of view of an anthropologist studying a society you have never been to and would like to imagine and know more about. This essay needs to somehow connect to the difference of culture, social structure, race, foods, education, culture change, religion, or language from U.S. to the society you write about. (at least 5 of them)

    In assessing the creative writing I will look at the following areas:

    1. creativity – did you take a novel approach to an cultural anthropology topic?  Did you exhibit an openness to experimentation and thinking “outside the box” about the assignment?
    2. relevance – how well did you address a class topic? What sorts of connections did you make between class concepts and your story or poem?
    3. execution – did you write grammatically, typos, incoherent sentences?  Did you keep to a structure that flowed well and made it possible to follow your train of thought?
