Cultural Heritage Assignment

First select someone to interview that is of a different culture…Note: I did not say of a

different race. In other words

,

you could be African

–

American, then it would permissible

to interview someone that i

s Haitian.

If you practice the same religion as some one

from another country, such has Muslim, then you

must

select someone else.

In the first

paragraph you will want to discuss the country that the person comes from. Where is

that country, approx. how many people, what is their chief crop or what

they are

famous

for. You will use the Internet to gather the data and cite references.

You want to inquire

about their dietary habits, dating/marriage, religious customs, costumes /dress,

holidays,

or any other information that you feel is pertinent.

Cite References.

The paper

must be in narrative form like you are telling a story, not a question answer format as if

you were conducting an interview.

–

6

pages in length, double spaced. When going between

paragraphs on double space you do not

double double

the spaces.

The cultural

heritage assignment is your next phase in learning about different cultures.

C

ite

references

, you may add supporting data from the Internet that your interviewee

provides. You need

at least

three (3) references

, on a

separate reference page

, not

When citing something that the author from the

website states

then you

put that information in quotation marks and note the reference.

On the reference page note Reference Page which is APA

,

not Works cited, which is

MLA.

, This means that your reference page will be titled

“Reference Page”

The title

–

j.smith.

(this is an example) USE your last name

culture dash

A good way to post correctly is to title your pap

er this way

in your documents. This way when you put it in the Assignment Folder it will have this

title. I will have to download them from the assignment folder to my documents for

grading. This means you attach it not cut and paste.

This should help to make sure

that you post it correctly.

By providing a correct title will prevent the assignment from

getting lost in my documents

. For citing reference see the Course Document tab or

www.perdue.owl.com

Grading: Everyone does not have excellent writing skills, do the best that you can. The

format is serious, that is spelling, grammar and font. The red squiggly lines means the

word is misspelled. The green/blue squiggly lines means incorrect grammar. Do Not

start sentences with a conjunction, and, but because

, for

, and yet. Some conjunctions

work, but check your grammar books or the Internet. Citing references is important,

there are resources for you on the Course Document and External Links, and the

Re

ference page is in alphabetical order, see the resources.

You will be graded on

opening paragraph, content of paper, grammar/spelling, a correct reference page. If

you do not know how to do a correct reference page consult the External Links and the

Internet or other books that you may have

In an entry of at least 800 words, you are to reflect on health care and society.

You should address the following in your own words utilizing concepts from the course:

• What responsibility does society owe to the environment, and what legal strategies should be implemented to address societys impact on nature?
• How could the U.S. health care system be improved to create more affordable quality care for all? Be sure to include various theories and to consider minority and majority applications.
• How does the nature of social mobility in American society directly impact the family dynamic?
• How have the theories discussed in this course impacted your personal educational journey?

You must use at least one peer-reviewed or academic source to support your journal entry. All sources used must have citations and references properly formatted in APA Style.

Your goal in this assignment is to develop a case study utilizing scholarly resources and the theories presented in the unit. This will help you develop a deeper understanding of the practical applications of the theories discussed throughout our course and encourage critical thinking.

Your submission should be at least three pages in length but no more than four, not counting the title page (if used) and a references page.

A minimum of three peer-reviewed or academic resources are required, one of which must be found in the CSU Online Library. APA formatting should be used for citations and references. Please note that wikis and blogs are not acceptable resources.

Advocate for Social Change

For this assignment, you will conduct internet research about a significant person who was, or is, an advocate for social change. Choose a person who has had an impact on promoting positive social change whether through philanthropy, civil rights, teaching, or lifestyle.

Answer these questions in your discussion.

1. Introduce the person. Discuss what led them to become an advocate.
2. Discuss which of the sociological views (i.e., conflict, interactionism, or functionalism) help to explain the type of inequality being addressed by the advocate.
3. Did their advocacy invoke a change and or influence others? Discuss why, or why not.
4. What lessons do you believe we can take away from this person and apply today?

Make certain that your lessons include discussion about central equality issues today, including economic inequality and social mobility. Conclude the study with your thoughts about how your subject’s experience relates to the concept of the “American Dream”, or a similar thought regarding social structures in the region where they are from.
