The 1905 Riot

We will use the online tool Hypothes.is for a group discussion of Walter Rodney’s “The 1905 Riot.” Our discussion document is private.
This assignment is based on the coursework through Week 4. It requires you to discuss “The 1905 Riot” with your classmates through a threaded discussion within the document itself. You should post the following:
A minimum of five (5) original comments on Rodney’s ideas, arguments and suggestions; and
A minimum of five (5) comments replying to the postings of others in the class.
Comment on whatever interests you. If someone makes an interesting comment on one of your original comments, build on that as much as possible. There are no right or wrong comments as long as you adequately support and explain your thoughts with reference to coursework materials or other resources (use footnotes in Chicago Notes and Bibliography Style 17th edition) and engage others in meaningful discussion. Citing “The 1905 Riot” does not satisfy this requirement.

This is an example of how you can enter your comments and footnotes:

You can find advice on when and how to use Chicago Style on our Blackboard course site under Information Literacy>Documentation Styles. I particularly recommend Purdue OWL (1) which includes numerous examples of footnotes.

The above example references a website. If you are citing a lecture on Blackboard you need to include the course title and the owner of the Blackboard site:
(1) Lecturer’s Firstname Lastname. “Lecture Title,” Course Title, Hunter College Blackboard. Publication Month Day Year. Accessed Month Day Year. URL.
If you are citing a book you need to include the page numbers of the cited material:
(1) Author’s Firstname Lastname, Title of Book (Place of publication: Publisher, Year of publication), cited page numbers.
If you are citing an anthology (for example, our textbook) you need to include details of the chapter or section and the page numbers of the cited material only:
(1) Author’s Firstname Lastname , “Title of Chapter or Section,” in Title of Book, ed. Editor’s Firstname Lastname ( Place of publication: Publisher, Year of publication), cited page numbers.
If you are citing an article you need to include the page number or numbers of the cited material only:
(1) Author’s Firstname Lastname, “Title of the Article,” Title of Journal Volume Number, Issue Number (Date): cited page numbers.
If you have not already done so, please look at the Hypothes.is tutorials on our Blackboard site under WEEK 1 Pt 1: ORIENTATION > WEB 2.0 TOOLS > Hypothes.is.

Choose
a country other than the United States and India research the following:

What
are the key diversity concerns for that country?
Which
groups are dominant and non-dominant?
What
are the participation rates, earnings, and employment differences among
the groups?
What,
if any, legislation exists regarding those groups in the country?
How
is diversity in the country you chose similar to or different from
diversity in the United States?

diversity-related factors would you emphasize or be most concerned about?

The document must include a cover page, abstract, main body, conclusion,
and references page.
Your paper MUST use in-text citations,
headings, and check proper use of paragraphs (APA Style 7th ed).

ed.). See “Tips” below if you need assistance with
APA style format. Points will be deducted for incorrect APA

Why are we so bad at dealing with risk?

1. This
section paper covers all course themes and materials for the course section: “Big
Question 1: Why are we so bad at dealing with risk?”

2. Please
react to the prompt below by writing an essay of approximately 8-10
pages Please cite any sources properly. (I don’t have a citation style
preference. Just pick one and be consistent.)

Please
read the following two articles:

Schulz
(2015) “The Really Big One” The New Yorker 20 July.

Schulz
(2019) “Oregon’s Tsunami Risk: Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea” The
New Yorker 1 July.

In 2015, Kathryn Schulz details the seismic
threat facing the coastal Northwest. For years later, she revisits the issue,
and the update doesn’t exactly paint a positive picture. Why are we so bad at
this? What explains the lack of mitigation relative to the size of the risk? Do
the politics render this situation (and others like it) hopeless?

In your analysis, feel free to take
issue with the prompt in its entirety or with specific segments. Remember to think
through the relevant course readings as you develop your essay. While you’re
under no obligation to bring in outside readings, each of the assigned
articles/chapters has a good bibliography that will point you in the direction
of other readings you could consider, particularly if you find the assigned
readings too limiting for the argument you want to make. And don’t feel like
you must reference or address every single reading from this section. Focus on
the ones that are relevant for your argument.
