sports in film and literature annotated bibliography 1

/in /by

this is an annotated bibliography – include minimum 5 sources and write at least 200 words for each source

Source requirements: Minimum of FIVE. No encyclopedias or blogs. Three sources from JWU Library databases!

Use own words and DO NOT PLAGIARISE!

It is common for sports stories to connect to historical moments and sociological concepts. Greek philosophical ideas help us understand the idea of the hero. The history of civil rights in the U.S. helps us understand the film 42. Gender issues surface in Dare to Dream. There is always a context for our stories. Sometimes it is spelled out in the story, and sometimes there are aspects that are not explicitly considered.

For this assignment, you will be exploring an idea that reaches a sports story beyond the bounds of the details of the story. For example, the story of Cubs fan Steve Bartman says a great deal about fandom, about how fans affect how stories are told and remembered. A research paper placing that story in the context of the psychology of sports fans could have as a thesis something like: The hysteria found in the story of Steve Bartman, the man who became the hated scapegoat for the loss by the Chicago Cubs’ loss in Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS, can be explained through the psychology of sports team identification. In this case, it is “the psychology of sports team identification” that you would need to research.

A League of Their Own is a film that uses sports to reveal how women’s societal roles were changing in the 1940s in great part due to World War II. A paper using this context as the basis for the research paper would have a thesis something like: A League of Their Own is much more than a movie about the first women’s professional baseball team; it also tells the story of the changing roles of women in US society during World War II.

For this assignment, you will need to select a work (either literature or a full-length film) that we will not be covering in class or that is not used as an example for the assignment. Regardless of how you put the sports story in a historical or social context, you will need to develop a thesis statement that will allow you to research a social/historical issue related to the film (or literature).

For example, for the film Dare to Dream,

the issue could be gender inequality in sports.

the thesis could be: While the film Dare to Dream is about the first women’s professional US women’s soccer team, it raises the issue of the on-going gender inequality in that sport.

The next step is to conduct college-level research that could be used to develop that thesis. This research will result in the creation of an Annotated Bibliography.

The directions for this assignment, along with an example and the rubric that will be used to grade it follow.

Annotated Bibliography

What’s the purpose of an annotated bibliography?

  • To gather and summarize information into one document about the historical/sociological topic that you are researching related to the film you have chosen
  • To create a quick reference sheet which will remind you of what your various sources presented and how they are useful to your paper
  • To preserve a record of research about your topic which may be shared with others in your field

How to do it:

Make an MLA works cited list of 5 sources you’ve found on your topic. Bold the Works Cited entries and indent correctly. These should be the STRONGEST sources you have found, which means you will probably have to find and investigate at least 10. A GREAT resource for MLA format rules is https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_formatting_and_style_guide/mla_formatting_and_style_guide.html Be sure to use 8th edition rules.

Beneath each citation, write an annotation paragraph. These will not be bolded. Each will include:

1.a summary of the type of information in the source

2.an evaluation of the author’s background or authority (This might mean that you will need to do additional research into the author, the organization, and/or the publication.)

3.an explanation of how the source can be used to develop your preliminary thesis

Organize your citations alphabetically, using hanging indentations (traditional Works Cited page format). See the MLA Forman and Style Guide for details about MLA Formats for Works Cited citations: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_formatting_and_style_guide/mla_formatting_and_style_guide.html

REVIEW OF SOURCE REQUIREMENTS

Minimum of FIVE sources for the final Annotated Bibliography

No source can be an encyclopedia (including Wikipedia or specialized encyclopedias)

No Source can be from a blog

Three sources must be accessed through the JWU Library database Academic Search Complete (EBSCO) OR History Reference Center (EBSCO) If you can find NO relevant sources through these databases (which would be VERY unusual), please let me know during your initial research, and we will determine another database for you to use.

All sources must be appropriate for college-level academic research

Cultural Issues in Health Care

/in /by

Lead-in:

Recently, Kalamazoo, Michigan was noted to have the highest Black Infant Mortality Rate (BIMR) in the State of Michigan.  This might seem like a curious statistic when compared to Detroit or Wayne County which have higher populations of African-Americans.  Kalamazoo also has two high quality hospitals in the community. Yet more African-American babies were dying in this community than any other in Michigan.  Is there an issue related to health disparity at work in Kalamazoo?  Although it is generally known that healthcare disparity exists in the United States, it is difficult to understand in a country with as many resources and services available to its citizens. This assignment gives you the opportunity to research disparity and gain some insight into its causes and impact (Wallace, personal communication, 2013).

To Prepare for the Assignment: Complete the assigned reading Locate a peer-reviewed journal article(s) on the topic Review the rubric for this assignment in the syllabus

 

With these thoughts in mind,

 

Assignment:   Research peer-reviewed journal articles on healthcare disparity issues. Prepare a 2-3 page APA paper (not including title page and references) covering the following: Subject Descriptions, Summary of Findings, Recommendations if possible and Conclusions. See the Rubric for further details.

Hito Steyerl, How Not to be Seen: A Fucking Didactic Educational .MOV File

https://www.artforum.com/video/hito-steyerl-how-not-to-be-seen-a-fucking-didactic-educational-mov-file-2013-51651 Katherine Hayles, “Virtual Bodies and Flickering Signifiers”(from her 1999 book How We Became Posthuman)

Please consider the two pieces in terms of ideas we’ve raised so far, as well as what Hayles articulates in her essay.

We are circling us around the concept of the black box. Remember this symbol is associated with that which can be seen, and seen in action, but not seen inside. The outside is visible, but the interior is closed, locked, encrypted.

The aim for us to eventually explore how this symbol, and literary approaches that resemble or resonate with it, can help us think about the electronic black boxes of our time — like our phones, with their hidden software processes, or like the shady methods by which oligarchs and certain presidents hide their wealth in real estate. I’m more interested in the symbol because it feels resonant with this moment in history than I am just because I like nonsense. (Though I do.)

 

Please incorporate specific quotes and references from the work as examples to support your ideas and observations. I don’t want to see posts without specific examples, or claims made without evidence. (Note that claims are different from questions.) Failure to include examples will result in a significantly lowered grade. In addition, please revisit the syllabus for my grading policy on discussion and workshop posts.

 

Part B: RESPONSE YOUR 2 PEERS (250 WORDS EACH X 2=500 WORDS)

 

Student A

Okay so watching Hito Steyerl, How Not to be Seen: A Fucking Didactic Educational .MOV File, 2013, I really didn’t know what to expect, but I REALLY did not expect to see this. At first I thought it was hysterical and was laughing, but as it went on it was kinda eerie. I was half expecting something to jump out to scare me. The robotic voice that slowly talks about hiding and the creepy music, made it all seem as though someone was talking about ways to hide away from life. As if it someone going through depression. But, then it begins to state things that are invisible; war, love, and capitalism. The robotic monotone voice lacks the ability to add expression in its voice so some words were less clear. It lists things very blatantly then goes on to talk about history and shows you photograph resolutions. Honestly I am really confused as to what the point of this video is, not saying it is not a very interesting art piece it’s just…… very different. Closer to the end of the video it repeats lesson one and to be honest I felt as if I was going crazy. Then suddenly it turns into a music video!! WHY?! After watching the full video for some reason I feel weird. Anyone else?

The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.

You are the manager of the production department, and the project manager will come from your group. This will be a first, as normally the project managers come from the marketing department. You need to assess the various people in your group and identify the person with the best skills. You will start by creating a job description for the position, focusing on the skills needed. Go to the Discussion Board and post at least 5      paragraphs that list skills that are needed by the project manager for      each phase in the Project Life Cycle, emphasizing the differences in      skills needed between the various phases. Next, craft a high-level job posting that identifies      the responsibilities, the skills required, and the experiences needed. 

In your own words, please post a response to the Discussion Board and comment on other postings. You will be graded on the quality of your postings.

For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.
