I don’t know how to handle this Political Science question and need guidance.
WILL PROVIDE THE ESSAY THAT WAS SUBMITTED AND THE KEY POINTS NEEDED TO IMPROVE
NEED TO DO: Clearing the misunderstanding on format report essay, revise and improve. There’s really good background on
the first part of the paper, but usually, what works best is blending in observations from your interviews in that first part. Transcript (interview questions) is seen, but analysis from that transcript will work best. Interview observations needed to be integrated in.
ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPORT ESSAY ASSIGNMENT:
– First, focus on two
religious groups of interest.
–
Second, interview a believer from each group—I highly suggest focusing
on the concepts we’re reading and discussing in our assignments in your
questions.. take notes of their answers.
– Third, attend at least one meeting (social or worship—worship services are NOT required).
There are online broadcasting of religious services sponsored by each group and take
notes.
– Finally, write a paper of at least (1,000 words) that shows what you have learned AND applies your observations to at least 3
key concepts (social construction, conversion, media, gender/sexuality,
fundamentalism, conflict, politics, class and power, and perhaps most
notably of all, socialization—more on than in STS 494). The better you apply
the concepts, the better chance you have of full credit.
You may use your interviews and
observations in this exercise to help you answer any of the questions
given in the assignments.
IMPORTANT: Please do NOT simply give a mere transcript of what your
interviewees said to you OR a “research paper” about one or two
religions that doesn’t show you actually talked to anyone. Instead, insightfully report what you observed and
learned from your meetings and interviews in terms of the concepts we’ve
been discussing in this class.
*Your report must be factual and analytical as well as focused on relevant class concepts. Your interview question should be referenced in the report, in how they tie in to your concepts.
* Do not use other sources then the ones that will be given.
