For this final paper you should show how one or two of our readings advance(s), critique(s), or amends(s) our understanding of one of the terms we have touched on this semester. Your essay should argue that this work or works theorize(s) this term in a new way. Put another way, you should illustrate how this work or works allow(s) us to recover a different definition of this term.

Possible terms to use for the paper include (but are not limited to) the following:

Commons

Here is how you should approach the paper:

Choose a reading or two from our syllabus that interests (intrigues, bothers, or confuses) you. If you choose to use two readings, keep in mind the following: papers that analyze works published around the same time period tend to result in stronger essays than the essays that analyze works from radically different time periods; and comparative papers (papers using two readings) are easier follow if you analyze one work and THEN the other rather than alternating back and forth between the two.

Choose a relevant critical term

Begin taking relevant examples from the readings and start to structure your paper based on YOUR interpretation of those examples

Try to come up with a working thesis about what the work or works illustrates about your term.

Remember: The majority (~80%) of the paper should be detailed literary analysis, which is clear and well organized. Make sure you clarify the significance of key words or phrases, recurring tropes, metaphors, etc. in the passages you cite.

The introduction and conclusion (20~%) will serve to frame your analysis. For the introduction, you will need a good dictionary. The Oxford English Dictionary is your best bet. It is available online through the UNA library website (go to the library search engine, then go to search, Databases by Title, then search under the letter O). The paper’s introduction should include (in quotation marks) one of the dictionary’s definitions of your key term, which should be contextualized and properly situated in this paragraph. Treat your introduction as a place for connecting the dots between this definition, the work or works you analyze, and your thesis or argument.

Work for substantial body paragraphs (7-10 sentences) throughout the paper. Remember that short paragraphs likely mean that you have not fleshed out your paragraph’s main idea.

Other strategies:
Share your thesis with a friend. See if he/she has any ideas for making it more argumentative or for more making it clearer.
Take the paper to the writing center for specific help.

**No need to include a works cited page, but note that I do run suspect writing through an online search. Use quotation marks when you use any language that is not your own.

Part A:

People of all ages commonly hold negative attitudes about aging. This assignment introduces the topic of aging and ageism by having you examine your own stereotypes about older people.

Draw a circle on a piece of paper with the word young in the middle of the circle. Next, write all of the words that come to mind regarding youth around the outside of the circle.

Repeat the circle association in step 1 – only this time use the word old instead of young.

Then think about the following:

– What do you notice about attitudes toward younger people vs. older people?
– In what situations have you felt people prejudge you because of your age?
– How have negative attitudes affected how you feel or what you do?
– How have positive attitudes about young people helped you?
– Did you find any similarities between your young and old circles?
– Have you ever experienced or known anyone who experienced prejudice or discrimination based on age? (Possible occasions for age discrimination are when applying for a job, renting an apartment, or trying to participate in an activity intended for another age group.)

Think about attitudes toward older people. What kind of negative and positive connotations does the word old have?

We will never know what it is like to be a different gender or a different race but we hope, however, that we will all know what it is like to be old.

Part B:
TASK: Thinking about information in the text and your personal results from this exercise address the following questions in your response.

– Old is a relative measure of time, yet it conveys strong, mostly negative impressions. How might these attitudes about old affect one’s attitudes about growing old? About being with older people? How might negative attitudes about aging influence public policy, health careers and social programs for older people?

For this assignment, you will develop a rebuttal while examining a position taken on a podcast episode.

Step One:
I have chosen two podcasts for you to explore that discuss a concept or event and present a position that is unique and unconventional. Your first task is to review the following websites and review the episode lists. When you find a title that interests you, read the episode description. If you are still intrigued, then listen and enjoy. If the podcast creators present an argument that you want to refute, then you are ready for the next step. If not, then you need to find another episode. Note: You should not have to restart the process more than once or twice if you read the episode descriptions very carefully.

http://revisionisthistory.com/ — “Each week for 10 weeks, Revisionist History will go back and reinterpret something from the past: an event, a person, an idea. Something overlooked. Something misunderstood.”

http://freakonomics.com/about/where-to-listen-to-the-podcast/ — “Have fun discovering the hidden side of everything with host Stephen J. Dubner, co-author of the best-selling “Freakonomics” books. Each week, hear surprising conversations that explore the riddles of everyday life and the weird wrinkles of human nature—from cheating and crime to parenting and sports.”

Step Two:
Once you have chosen your podcast episode, you are ready to post your rebuttal.

1. At the top of your post, please include the link to your podcast episode. You can post the link by using one of the icons on the post menu bar. Once you have copied the episode URL, click on the icon that looks like two connected links and paste the URL to the text box and click on “Insert Link.”

2. Now, please post your response to the following questions (approx. 200 words).

– What claim is the podcast making?

– What logical fallacies are utilized why making this claim?

– What type of support is missing from the argument that could have made the claim more effective?

Essay Sample
l. Thesis
Your thesis should give a short summary of the conspiracy. Then, it should mention the conspiracy
theorists and the fallacies that they use.
Example
ln 1700s, a group of intellectuals formed a group called the Bavarian llluminati whose goal was to argue
against the control of the church in state affairs and for the end wars. lts founder, Adam Weishaupt
started the llluminati to push for the secular ideas of the Enlightenment. Conservative religious groups
convinced the German government to outlaw the llluminati. Since then, many people have accused the
defunct group of controlling governments and generally being behind every bad occurrence. John
Robison, Nesta Helen webster, and william Guy carr have written books discussing their llluminati
conspiracy theories, employing fallacies such as appeal to emotion, non sequitur, ad hominem, straw
man, and doubtful cause.
ll. Body
Your essay should quote each conspiracy theorist and then point out the fallacies used by them
Example
William Guy Car argues, “[Communism] was to be used to enable the llluminati to foment future wars
and revolutions’ Clinton Roosevelt (a direct ancestor of F.D.R.) Horace Greeley, and Chas. Dana were
appointed a committee to raise funds for this new venture. The fund they raised financed Karl Marx and
Engels when they wrote “Das Capital” and “The Communist Manifesto” in Soho, England,, (1). Clinton
Roosevelt, Horace Greeley, and Charles Dana are mostly liberaljournalists and politicians. Karl Marx did
write for the newspa per, The New York Tribune, that Greeley and Dana edited, but Marx wrote antislavery
articles and not articles touting his philosophy. To say that they funded Marx and Friedrich
Engels is a straw man fallacy. Car distorts the fact by implying that Marx’s journalistic work funded him
to write his books when instead most money for the books came from Engel’s rich family. plus, to accuse
Greeley and Dana of some long-term plan to foment future wars by simply paying one out of many
reporters on their staff is a doubtful cause fallacy. The two men could not have caused Marx,s book to
become a basis for so many revolutions. car’s hindsight is all too perfect.
lll. Conclusion
Here, you can put a naysayer in the text and say why the theorists believe in these conspiracies. Don,t
agree with them, but talk about the social reasons that pushes these people to spout such theories
