Using the essay assignment handout, please write a (solid) paragraph explaining what direction you plan to take with this essay. Include which readings you will be working with, your viewpoint on the subject, and a couple of points you hope to make. Turn in via Turnitin before midnight!
The proposals themselves ranged from quite well done to fairly bare bones:
Example One: Very good!
Stereotypes
have been a prominent part of culture. Can we reverse our thinking
despite the very clear snap judgments made and should we remove all
stereotypes, positive and negative? I will be using “The End of
Race” (Olson), “Paper Tigers” (Yang), and Blink! by
Malcolm Gladwell to analyze this topic. I will be exploring the idea
of stereotypes and how one can decide to choose how they are instead
of others assuming. I want to cover the way women are viewed in media
and how snap judgments can alter entire cultures and individuals. I
feel that snap judgments are constantly made whether someone wants to
make them or not, whether they want to control them or not, and we
all have made snap judgments. I also feel as though we can only
eradicate assumptions about people if we stop assuming positive or
negative assumptions all together. I also feel that women are seen as
objects in media and they are assumed to only serve that purpose.
Lastly, I feel that anyone can choose who he or she is and should
feel safe in their decision in who they are as a person.
As
of now I will be writing my essay on “The End of Race” by Steve
Olson. I do believe racism can come to an end, but it will not be
easy. I am going to answer the questions you have given us and maybe
add a few myself. As of right now I am going to use “The End of
Race” story for sure, and not yet decided on what other sources I
want to bring in, weather it be my own article or something you have
given us.
Next up, rough drafts!
