Assignment: Impacts of Covid19 Pandemic to Human Rights in the United States PPT

In your group you will brainstorm and decide what social pheonomenon your paper will examine. This can be anything we "do" in society today. Then you will decide which era everyone will contribute to the history section, which country you will contribute to the cross-cultural section, and which macro perspective you will contribute to the macro perspectives section.

Objectives

By participating in this assignment you are working towards accomplishing student learning objectives for the semester, by demonstrating the ability to use a societal framework in order to analyze any given situation rather than individual analysis.

Writing Prompt

A research paper examining how something that we do not usually think about in our daily lives has been socially constructed. This can be anything and creativity is encouraged. You will consider your "stuff" from three perspectives, and each group member will contribute one part per perspective (see below), to explain how that thing has come to be the way we know it today.

Every paper must have the following sections:

1. Historical Section: Each group member will pick a specific era in your "stuff's" United States history (go back as far as possible). Research and write about your era, and then put them together in chronological order in this section of the paper.

2. Cross-cultural Section: Each group member will pick a different country. Research and write about how your "stuff" is used in your country in the present-day, and then put each country together in this section of the paper.

3. Macro Perspectives Section: Each group member will pick another macro perspective that you can relate to your "stuff" (i.e. gender, politics, media...). You will research and write about how that macro perspective has shaped our understanding/experiences of your "stuff" in present-day, United States culture. Each section should have a subheading heading and be included in your final paper.

In the paper, you will take a sociological and objective approach. For example, if you are researching marijuana I DO NOT want a paper about why smoking marijuana is bad for people and should not be legalized (or, on the other hand, why you think it should be legal).

Visual Presentation:

You will also be responsible for turning in a visual presentation to represent your "stuff" and share what you learned with the class (approach it like, what would you use to accompany a presentation in a face-to-face class, i.e. PowerPoint presentation, Prezi, etc.,).
