THESE ARE TWO ASSIGNMENTS PLEASE DON’T USE CHAT GPT.
THIS IS THE FIRST ONE—>Reflection: Conflict Perspectives
For this reflection paper I would like you to think about the following question:
1. We have discussed the idea that the conflict perspective focuses on how people define
right and wrong differently and sometimes disagree on what the law should be or do. For
this reflection, I would like you to find a video about an event (like the LA Riots, George
Floyd protests, or other type of civil unrest). Reflect on how that event may be an
example of the conflict perspective manifesting in the real-world. How is that event (or
the reaction to an event) demonstrative of disagreement between people about
right/wrong and the purpose of the law? Make sure to link the video at the bottom of your
response.
Remember to address all aspects of the questions! Your paper should be a minimum of 1.5 full
double-spaced pages. Standard writing conventions apply. All sources used (from class and
outside of class) should be cited using APA 7th edition citations (with a separate references page
that does not count towards your page count). Keep in mind that this assignment should not be
you regurgitating what others have said. This assignment should entail you proposing your own
thoughts and perspectives and using other articles to support your argument. Try to consider
potential critiques of your position as you write and address them in your paper. If you have any
questions, please email me or come to office hours.
THIS IS THE SECOND ONE—->Theory in Policy
For this assignment I would like you to apply the conflict perspectives we have been
talking about in class to an actual law, criminal justice policy, or event in United History. In class
I have provided examples of each. We critically examined the use of offender labels like sex
offender and questioned why such labels exist (pros and cons) and how these labels may do more
harm than good when it comes to rehabilitation and monitoring offenders. We have also
questioned policies like three strikes laws and civil asset forfeiture. We questioned the purposes
and effectiveness of these policies and how they tied into broader criminal justice issues like the
War on Drugs. Lastly, we discussed various historical events such as the Flint Water Crisis, the
East Palestine Train Derailment, and Native American Boarding Schools in both the US and
Canada. We discussed how those responsible are rarely held to account and discussed how these
incidents influenced the communities and people around them, potentially over years and
generations.
The assignment will require you to find a news article and/or a video of one such
example and discuss it. To be clear: this means I would like you to find a different event than the
ones we have covered in lecture. How would the conflict perspectives we have talked about seek
to explain these policies and/or events? I would like about a page summarizing the event,
policy, or law and then to 1 page reflecting on your content and applying the conflict
perspective to your reflection. Make sure to cite all outside sources (including videos!). APA 7th
edition citations are required. Please submit all assignments as word doc attachments. No PDFs,
links to Word Online, Google Docs, or other formats will be accepted. Please email me with any
questions.
Reflection Papers (5 x 25 points each = 125 points): These reflection papers will consist of you
responding to various prompts that I post on Blackboard. These papers should be 2-3 doubles
spaced pages in length. They will consist of your own personal reflections on papers, theories,
and other topics specified in the prompt. You may use outside sources to reinforce your point,
but you must use APA citations. Make sure to completely answer all aspects of the prompts to
get full credit. You are encouraged to submit case briefs early if you have the time to complete
them. Waiting until the day they are due is a recipe to forget the assignment and/or submit
poorer quality work than you are capable of
