World History Discussion Question

/in /by

In this assignment, you will read an article that presents several points of view about whether World War I was a cultural turning point. You will consider each opinion as well as your own ideas about the effects of the war on global culture, and then discuss the topic with your classmates. The link between war and its effects on culture is an important one. Understanding how world wars influence global culture, and taking it one step further to how the global culture is influencing the current events of today, can help you understand this modern world and the way global interactions influence and change societies.

Historians do not always agree on historical matters, especially when concerning causes and effects. Click the link to read a feature on World War I’s effect on culture:  http://college.cengage.com/humanities/perry/humanities/1e/students/summaries/ch24.html

The two viewpoints described in the article are summarized here.

•Viewpoint 2: It [WWI] left unforgettable landscapes of destruction that marked the rupture from a safer past and produced a sense of foreboding that the next decades amply justified.

•Viewpoint 3: The war intensified intellectual patterns that already existed and helped to make sense of an experience that confounded any notion of an ordered universe. The challenges that cultural modernism posed to rationalism and objectivity before the Great War seemed validated beyond criticism by the events of 1914-1918.

Assignment is to :  Choose one of these viewpoints and defend it. Your defense should be at least one paragraph, with specific examples.

                           Sophocles unveiled the true meaning of human tragedy in the play; Oedipus the King.  In this story the writer expressed how we as humans can walk through life, blind and ignorant to our everyday lives as well as our past. In life we tend to judge other people on the way they live, the outlook they may have on a topic, as well as the misfortune they may have experienced. These things are tragic, simply because most times our actions as well as reactions unmask our true personalities to others, however never really knowing yourself is the true tragedy. The smart and powerful king, Oedipus, was blind to the fact that his life was destined to be filled with hate and pain.  Several attributes in his personality caused tragedy in his life, due to being quick to anger, slow to listen, and quick to speak. As a fearless leader, Oedipus, lacked the ability of understanding, Oedipus failed to understand that he, as human, has limitations and there is life outside of his own world, lacking patience and staying ahead of others lead the king to face his fate and experience tragedy as we know it.

There are very different views of what types of evidence are most credible in evaluating the effectiveness of psychological treatment research. In this discussion you will analyze basic applied psychological research as well as evaluate how researchers applied a research process in the development of specific components. To begin, read the following articles (which can be accessed through the ProQuest database in the University Library): 

  • “Evidence-Based Practice in Psychology: Implications for Research and Research Training”
  • “Practice-Based Evidence: Back to the Future”
  • “Psychological Treatments: Putting Evidence into Practice and Practice into Evidence”

After reading the articles listed above, select two of them.  Analyze the basic applied research within each of your two selected articles by answering the following questions:

  • What is the main point-of-view in each article? 
  • What are the primary assumptions each author makes?
  • Which author are you inclined to agree with?  Support your choice with scholarly reasoning and cite your evidence. 

You are required to include one peer-reviewed source that was published within the last five years to support your perspective.  You may not use any of the sources that were assigned for this course.  For assistance finding articles view the “Searching for Articles” and the “Peer-Reviewed Articles” tutorials which are available under
Tutorials on the
Getting Research Help tab at the top of the  University Library homepage.

Cultural Change in a Global Environment. 3 Pages

/in /by

The main focus of these answers ought to be material from chapters 14-16. It is assumed that you understand the concept of culture (chapter 8), so do not focus on that chapter for this question.

You are to write an essay explaining how to understand culture change in a global environment, using an anthropological approach.

In your essay, include- and define- five anthropological concepts (ideas ) that you think are useful for understanding culture change in a global environment. BOLD AND CAPITALIZE each concept the first time you use it in the essay.

·Define each concept , as you introduce it, IN YOUR OWN WORDS, and

·DEVELOP at least one specific example in your essay. Use real data and solid information in your examples where you can. It is useful to look up outside sources for examples. Include your sources. (You will be graded down for general statements or “off the top of your head examples.”)

Grading question 1:

20 points will be on the logic of your essay and the extent to which you are using an anthropological approach (avoid ethnocentrism and think holistically- think about how one aspect of culture affects another).

  30 points will be on your definition of the five concepts you include in  the  essay and the effectiveness and accuracy of your examples in the context of the essay (6 points for each concept).

·

Hint: If you do not know what a concept is, please look it up. Most concepts in the text are identified in highlighted yellow boxes at the bottoms of the pages, but in order to understand them you must read abut them in the chapter. Do not depend on the definitions at the bottoms of the pages. REMEMBER, concepts are used to help analyze. They are out tools in anthropology.
