Post #2: Using either W.E.B. Du Boiss concept of double-consciousness or Charles Millss The Racial Contract as your primary lens, analyze the political and aesthetic negotiations of the gaze in Barry Jenkinss short film, contextualizing its visual language within the documentary legacy of Gordon Parkss photography, the reclamatory art of Kerry James Marshall, and the interrogative text-based work of Glenn Ligon.

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read Chapter 9 in your textbook With Good Reason: A Guide to Critical Thinking (Updated ed.). The University of Arizona Global Campus. When seeking to understand topics and construct solutions, it is important to appreciate the best arguments on different sides of the question. Understanding other perspectives can help you to be wiser and more effective in your approach to addressing the issue. In this paper, you will use the topic you have been researching in this course and present and evaluate the best arguments on opposing sides of the question. You will assess the quality of each argument. Finally, based on your research and reasoning, you will present your own argument about how this issue can best be addressed. For an example paper, look at the Week Five Example Paper sample. In your paper include the following elements, Introduction (approximately 150 words): Introduce readers to your topic and why it is important. Include a brief preview of what you will accomplish in this paper. You may include pictures or other media here. (This creativity is not part of your grade but can enhance the power and meaningfulness of your paper. Think of it like a magazine article about your topic. First Argument (approximately 200 words): Present the best argument (in standard form) for the side of the issue most supported by scholarly research. Cite at least two scholarly sources in your argument. Your argument may include premises from scholarly sources such as those you analyzed in week 3, but you can also add additional premises of your own to make the argument as powerful as you can. (Do not just use the same argument you analyzed for the week 3 assignment). Opposing Argument (approximately 200 words): Present the best argument you can for an opposing side of the issue. Put the argument in standard form and cite at least one credible (preferably scholarly) source to support the premises. Analysis of the Arguments (approximately 300 words): Evaluate the quality of the two arguments given above and explain which argument is stronger and why. Justify your position, not with opinion, but with an analysis of the quality of the evidence and reasoning. Address questions such as: How well supported are the arguments premises? How strongly does the conclusion follow from the premises? Are there any issues that affect the quality of the argument? How might someone with a different point of view object to the argument? Analyze which argument is stronger than the other and explain why. Justify your position, not with opinion, but with your analysis of the quality of the evidence and reasoning. Presentation of your own approach to addressing the issue (approximately 200 words): Based on what you have learned, present an argument for what you think is the best approach to solving/addressing this issue. Your argument can refer to a solution to this difficult problem or to a specific way you can contribute meaningfully to help with this cause. For example, if your topic is homelessness, you could address the best societal-level way to reduce homelessness or the best (most effective) way that you can help others find housing. Addressing an objection to your chosen approach (approximately 300 words): Present what you think is the best possible objection to your argument/approach to the issue and your best reply to this objection (e.g., How might you overcome any potential concerns or negative side-effects from your chosen approach?) Cite a scholarly or other credible source in this section (either in your presentation of the objection or in your response to it). Conclusion (approximately 150 words): Summarize what you have learned about how controversial topics should be addressed by critical thinkers. Discuss how a critical-thinking based approach could help address and contribute to solving this issue. You may include pictures (or other creative artifacts) in this section, including a visual of what an approach to addressing this issue might look like. (This is not part of your grade, but images can enhance the meaningfulness and impact of what you have presented.)

Students should plan to write 12 precis before the end of the term. Only the top 10 will be counted toward a final grade. Students should submit precis to turnitin.com before the end of the module. To earn credit, a student must:

Write a precis. A precis is a short description of a reading assignment, much like a book report. It should not contain any interpretation, examples, or objections. It should be limited simply to outlining the positions and arguments as they are found in the reading. Precis should be between 250-300 words (about a page), and should be typed, double spaced, 12pt font, or equivalent. To earn credit, it should be related to the chapter that we read for that module , and turned in during the week that we discuss and cover that chapter in class. It is of no value to write a precis after we have talked about it in class, so late precis will not be accepted for credit.

A precis should never directly quote any author, or any part of the text. Instead, summarize the main points, and cite your sources.

This week we learned about universal love or agape. A form of selfless love expressed to mankind or one’s community. This form of love is expressed to another with no intention of receiving something in return. Over the past several weeks, you considered several options to express agape or meaningful love through service. For this essay, select two meaningful expressions of love through service from the list below and complete them this week. Write a thoughtful essay describing which choices you selected, and how selfless love and service were expressed in your actions. Utilize 2 academic resources in your writing to discuss how mindful love through service connects to agape or universal love. In your conclusion, discuss how you plan to practice or cultivate this form of love in your life in the future.

Examples:

Engage in a meaningful action for humankind – this can be volunteering at a nonprofit, collecting trash in your local neighborhood, donating clothes or food to those in need, etc.

Complete a random act of kindness for a stranger – this can be paying it forward by buying a cup of coffee at the local Starbucks, offering a generous tip at a local store, cutting your neighbors lawn, assisting someone with carrying their groceries, or cleaning up a strangers trash.

Offer support to someone in need – whether this is through dedicated attention and listening, the lending of your skills or talents, or strengthened encouragement with the intention of receiving nothing in return. Connect with someone who might need unconditional love, you can do this through a phone call, a text message, or a hand written note.

Step away from gossip or judgement in a situation that you are faced with – instead offer forgiveness to someone who needs it, offer them understanding and encouragement (this could be someone you know or don’t know).

This essay should be greater than 2 – 3 pages in APA 7th edition formatting. Be sure to structure this paper like an academic essay (include an introduction and conclusion). Essay should contain a Title Page in APA style. APA format uses 12 pt and Times New Roman font. Create a citation every time you use someone else’s words, research results, or ideas in the body of the paper. Your Essay must include a Reference Page
