Anthropology – Geertz

/in /by

Instructions Geertz also tells us that we need to ‘see’ and build the system of meaning. That is because meanings are related to each other. People’s actions are symbolic, and they aremeaningful in a particular way only in that context. (Their meaning might change if contexts are changed). For example, a wink is perceived as a wink (and not as a twitch) only by someone who understands the meaning behind it and who is involved, either directly or indirectly, with the actor who is winking. For an outsider the wink can be seen as an involuntary twitch, a parody of someone’s wink or a twitch, or even a rehearsal wink (see Thick Description, p.6-7). Geertz argues that culture is a symbolic system and thus anthropological work is a search for meanings (as opposed to a search for laws of human origin or evolution, or laws of the operation of human mind – the concern of previous anthropologists). And the search for meaning necessarily requires an attention to cultural particularities and avoiding generalizations. Foucault makes us aware of the presence of power in space, bodies, and time. Your goal is to try to ‘see’ the working of power in your blocks. This does not mean that you need to find a soldier or go to a nearest school to look at how the bodies and minds of young people are being disciplined. The signs and workings of power are visible from things as mundane as street lights; passerby waiting for a green light; the bodies hurrying during rush hour; clothing: dresses, suits, and shoes that confine and/or enable movements; the same clothes can contain other meanings than being the tools for confinement; the sizes of sidewalks that force people into limited space; road-crossing signs that limit and control the movement of passerby on the roads; enclosures such as gates, fences, green spaces; the open spaces that are both inviting, but also restricting due to multiple gazes ; surveillance by police and other actors; surveillance by non-police; self-surveillance due to expected norms (i.e. not talking loudly in the public) Both Geertz and Foucault essentially teach us to look deeper at the things that you observe and to rethink things that we might take for granted. Write not more than 3 pages on an activity that is very familiar to you and explore their deeper meaning.

Dealing with Diversity in America from Reconstruction through the 1920s

/in /by

It is a position paper in which you support a thesis statement by reason and historical examples. After the Civil War, the United States had to recover from war, handle western expansion, and grapple with very new economic forms. However, its greatest issues would revolve around the legacies of slavery and increasing diversity in the decades after the Civil War. In the South, former slaves now had freedom and new opportunities but, despite the Reconstruction period, faced old prejudices and rapidly forming new barriers. Immigrants from Europe and Asia came in large numbers but then faced political and social restrictions. Women continued to seek rights. Yet, on the whole, America became increasingly diverse by the 1920s. Consider developments, policies, and laws in that period from 1865 to the 1920s. Examine the two statements below and drawing from provided sources, present a paper with specific examples and arguments to demonstrate the validity of your position. Topic and Thesis Statement—choose one of the following as your Thesis Statement: THESIS STATEMENT 1: Political policies in the period from 1865 to the 1920s generally tried to promote diversity and “the melting pot” despite the strong prejudices of a few. THESIS STATEMENT 2: Political policies in the period from 1865 to the 1920s generally tried to hinder or restrict diversity and “the melting pot”, in part because of widespread prejudices. Plan to make that thesis statement the last sentence in your introductory paragraph. The general subject is DIVERSITY and policy in that period of history. You may moderate the wording slightly to fit more precisely the position you wish to take. This is NOT a simple statement of a topic; it is a statement of a position you are taking about that topic. p.s.—Valid arguments and “A” papers can be made with either thesis. So, you choose the one you think is the stronger position. After giving general consideration to your assigned readings so far and any research (using sources listed on this sheet), select one of the positions above as your position—your thesis. (Sometimes after doing more thorough research, you might choose the reverse position. This happens with critical thinking and inquiry. Your final paper might end up taking a different position than you originally envisioned.) Organize your paper as follows with the four parts below (see TEMPLATE also), handling these issues:

Feasibility Analysis

/in /by

“A feasibility analysis is a chance to open your eyes, ask yourself some very tough questions, then check to see whether your idea, as originally conceived, needs to be modified, refocused, or changed dramatically. (Or perhaps even scrapped altogether.)” (Abrams, as cited in Scarborough & Cornwall, 2015, p. 237). With this assignment, you will be addressing the fundamental question: Does this business have profit potential? Referring to the same business you either started or purchased in the first assignment, write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you: Conduct a feasibility analysis in which you research: Industry and Market Feasibility Product or Service Feasibility Financial Feasibility Entrepreneurial Readiness Based on your assessment, does the business idea need to be modified, changed significantly, or abandoned? (Note: If you abandon the business idea, then you will need to select and analyze a new business that has profit potential.) Include at least two (2) references outside the textbook. Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements: This course requires use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format may be different than other Strayer University courses.

The Web

“The Innovators” book chapter 11 ( The Web ). This is the link of the ebook version: https://www.vianolavie.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/388/2019/02/INNOVATORS-by-Walter-Isaacson-Tulane-Copy.pdf Throughout the semester, students will read 1 chapter of the book, The Innovators Chapter 11 ( The Web), and write one paper for this chapter. The paper should be single-spaced, 2-page (excluding cover page and references), and typed in Times New Roman in font size 12. The paper should have a title, and consists of at least two sections: 1) A brief narrative of how an IS/IT (Information system and Information Technology) is realized, initiated, designed, and implemented in terms of what/when/where/how this happened, and key character players involved in the series of events. And, 2) Aha! Moment: Key observations/lessons/implications you have learned from the reading from the perspective of business IS. 1. Please keep a balance of the two sections: Half to half: Story Summary vs. Aha! Moment. For the second section of the paper, we are trying our best to stick with the stories and characters and dig deeper at the following aspects to make the reading relevant to the real IS business world, • Observations/lessons/implications you have learned from the reading can be further enhanced by the appropriate resources (e.g., the textbook materials). • You may want to provide some explanations of the concepts, practice, and theories of business IS using any other resources. • Observations/lessons/implications you have learned from the reading should integrate personal observations and experience, and business cases to illustrate the contexts, content, and/or technical configurations. • The plain easy business language will be strongly preferred to explain concepts, practice, and theories of business IS that is understandable to IT professionals and business users
