   Ashford 6: – Week 5 – Discussion 1 Impact of the Internet

The   Wild and the Human

 What does the film Grizzly Man teach us about the wildness of nature and how human beings ought to relate to it? What, if anything, was the mistake that led to Timothy Treadwell’s death? Did anthropomorphism (i.e., imagining the bears to have human characteristics) contribute to Treadwell’s death? Is nature indifferent to human interests as filmmaker Werner Herzog claims in his narration? Treadwell sees nature wonderful while Herzog sees it as Darwinian and cruel; is one of them correct or is there a third option? In what ways are both Treadwell’s and Herzog’s viewpoints on nature social constructions as Cronon would put it? Cite specific details from the movie to support your claims.
 

Review your classmates’ posts. As you analyze their examples, consider playing devil’s advocate and attempt to show how their analysis does not capture the essence of the either Treadwell’s or Herzog’s position. If you agree with others, enhance the discussion by including more supporting evidence from the articles or from your own outside research.  
 

Attend discussion on at least four separate days, and post a total of 800 words. There is no required word count for individual posts as long as all your posts together total 800 words. Nor is there a minimum number of posts, but you must post on at least four separate days by Day 7.
 

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your discussion.

This is an essay Midterm. You should choose 4 out of 5 essay questions to answer. This is an opportunity for you to synthesize your readings and discussions into coherent essays. You should aim for one to two well developed paragraphs in order to properly answer each question.  Before beginning consult the writing expectations and the grading rubric.  These are listed in the Syllabus as well as below.  Your essays will be evaluated based on the criteria in the grading rubric.  When you finish your Midterm you must submit your Midterm.

 
Each question is worth 25 points for a total of 100 possible points. Credit will not be awarded for completing five questions. If you complete all five essay questions, I will grade the first four.

You may access the Midterm more than once and make multiple submissions up until the deadline.  Midterms must be submitted by the deadline in order to earn credit.
