NEW CPP NEW DEADLINE:Reaction Paper 2

Reaction Paper 2 This assignment builds upon key sociological aspects of race and ethnicity. This is yet another opportunity to really consider, as budding Sociologists, what is happens between people! The assignment involves watching ONE TEDTalk of your choice (you have six different videos to choose from) and then writing your responses to several questions based on the TEDTalk video. Please number your responses in answering the questions. Your entire paper should be at least 4-5 pages in length, typed, double-spaced in 12-point font with one-inch margins, pages numbered, your name on the upper left corner, and edited for spelling and grammatical errors. Yes, you can label your "steps" in writing your responses but DO NOT use bullet points. Write in complete sentences with paragraphs. Make sure to cite any sentences/excerpt you use verbatim. The better strategy is to paraphrase. Write at a college level; minimize excessive spelling/grammatical errors (worth 1 point). Edit and spell-check! HOW TO CITE A TEDTALK IN ASA FORMAT: Remember, the ASA citation guide Download ASA citation guideis in the first Welcome module. Make sure to use it correctly when citing from any source. Students often think that the only time a citation is necessary is for a quote (it is, and you need to include the page number or exact place in the source). But even if you paraphrase, it is still good practice to cite in text. And, please include a Works Cited page this time (worth 1 point).

STEP ONE Choose to watch and write about ONE of the following six TEDTalks on race and ethnicity: https://www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=a4jPGhN5TCM https://www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=3m728kmKRJE https://www(dot)ted(dot)com/talks/sean_sherman_why_aren_t_there_more_native_american_restaurants https://www(dot)ted(dot)com/talks/liz_kleinrock_how_to_teach_kids_to_talk_about_taboo_topics https://www(dot)ted(dot)com/talks/sara_jones_my_story_of_love_and_loss_as_a_transracial_adoptee https://www(dot)ted(dot)com/talks/america_ferrera_my_identity_is_a_superpower_not_an_obstacle STEP TWO Write your responses to the following questions after you have watched the ONE TEDTalk video of your choice: Which TEDTalk video did you select to watch for this assignment? Why did you decide to watch this particular video? Describe in detail the overall “point” of the TEDTalk. What is the focus, main argument, central concept(s) or key social issue that it attempts to address regarding race/ethnicity? Discuss the talk in a few short paragraphs. Who is the person giving the TEDTalk? Describe them in terms of who they are, what their relation is to the content they're discussing, and why you think they are giving the TEDTalk. Do you think this person is qualified to speak on the topic? Why or why not? Choose one memorable moment from the talk. Describe why the moment stood out to you and is particularly memorable (this may require you to provide a little more information from the talk in order to set up the moment in a way that is understandable to someone who has not seen it!). How does the TEDTalk relate to this week's textbook reading (Lawston Chapter 10)? Explain one direct connection between the textbook chapter and the video/talk you watched. What do you think Sociologists would say about this TEDTalk? How does it help us better understand race and ethnicity (and what happens between people)? What is your overall impression of the TEDTalk? What was it like watching it (bored, excited, curious, angry)? What criticisms do you have, or what didn’t you like/agree with during the talk? Would you recommend this TEDTalk to someone else? Why or why not? Write TWO discussion questions based on the TEDTalk (as if you were the professor!). Think about asking questions on key aspects, take-home points or main arguments from the talk. What questions can you ask that would hold viewers accountable for the information, get them to think critically, and also apply their sociological imaginations? In writing your discussion questions, remember to be specific and clear! ------------ As a reminder, make sure to upload your Reaction Paper as either a WORD or PDF document.
