Write a narrative argument on a debatable issue, where you advance a solution to a societal/familial/emotional problem you’ve encountered.

Write a narrative argument on a debatable issue, where you advance a solution to a societal/familial/emotional problem you’ve encountered. Make sure this problem intersects in some way with our guiding question: “What should we do now that our progress (e.g. digital technology) is outpacing our morality?” Focus on a problem that keeps you up at night, that you’re curious about, that haunts you. Take a stance on the issue and rest on a solution that is in dispute.
Employ narrative elements in the service of your argument. A narrative is a story about an event, with a beginning, middle, and end. Narrative elements include characters, setting, dialogue, conflict, struggle, climax, and resolution. This element of the assignment is required. Creative thinking is one of the most important elements of critical thinking.

Analyze two literary or media texts for determinacy vs indeterminacy

DETERMINACY vs. INDETERMINACY

Both of these media texts should be non-journalistic or non-theoretical in basis. Think: Short stories, movies, novels, video games, songs/albums, and so on. Theoretical essays and journalistic reports may be useful as supporting evidence, but they should not be the primary media texts you are analyzing. Also note that your two primary media texts for analysis should be somewhat oppositional to one another. In other words, pick one text that reflects one side of your oppositional binary and another that represents the other side of the oppositional binary.

Discuss the personality characteristics, behaviors, or life course of this individual that contribute to your understanding of this person as an example of resilience.

During challenging times, it can be helpful for us to remember that human beings have the capacity for remarkable demonstrations of resilience despite the traumas they have endured. In place of the final group presentations, we would like you to complete a short individual presentation on resilience. It is our hope that through this assignment you will spend some time thinking about the concept of resilience, its definition(s), and the many people and communities that have been faced with trauma and have emerged in tact (and perhaps even developed in positive ways) as a result of what they have experienced.

ASSIGNMENT OVERVIEW: Review the various definitions of resilience that have been discussed in class and in assigned readings. Choose a definition that you feel best summarizes your conceptualization of resilience. Spend some time researching people who have faced trauma throughout history. Choose one person who you feel exemplifies an individual who has experienced trauma and who you would define as resilient. Create a presentation summarizing your conceptualization of resilience and discussing the individual you chose. If you do not have ability to do a video presentation, you can write up the assignment completely. Whatever you choose- please include the following information outlined in the assignment details.

ASSIGNMENT DETAILS:

In the paper, please include the following information:

Begin your paper by stating who you have chosen as an example of resilience.

In our class on resilience on April 15th, we will discuss the many definitions of resilience. State the definition or definitions of resilience that your example meets.

Discuss the trauma or traumas this person has experienced.

Please state the approximate age at which the trauma occurred, where and when they occurred, and how the trauma or traumas changed their life.

Discuss the personality characteristics, behaviors, or life course of this individual that contribute to your understanding of this person as an example of resilience.

Discuss 3 factors in this individual’s life that you think helped them to be resilient.

Include “evidence” of their resilience – such as a quote from something they have written or said in public regarding their life’s experience, a picture of something they have created related to their trauma such as a piece of music or art, a picture of the time they lived in or something else that visually relates to what they went through… be creative!

How does Picketty explain the history wealth inequality in the United States?

In this module you were introduced to the work of Thomas Picketty and his analysis of inequality in capitalist societies. For this module’s writing assignment, please answer each of the following questions.

(1) How does Picketty explain the history wealth inequality in the United States? To answer this question you will need to say what Picketty means by “r” and “g” and describe the role that the relationship between r and g plays in Picketty’s account.

(2) One of Picketty’s main concerns is that increased inequality of wealth will mean that inherited wealth plays an increasingly large role in determining the lifetime opportunities of members of a political society. Is Picketty right to be concerned with this? Should (democratic) political societies try to curtail inheritance (and other gifts) so as to promote more equal life chances? Or should (democratic) political societies respect the property rights of persons and the freedom of those who own wealth to pass it on to whomever they wish? What is your view about this controversial issue and how would you justify it?
