Ensure you have a clearly articulated thesis statement in your introduction.

Circumcision and FGC (Please read all instructions)

Coming of Age Rituals
MIcrolecture
Biological models of gender differences often rely on a Western ideal, ignoring cross-cultural variations of gender differences. Anthropologists such as Margaret Mead, who presented evidence that gender expectations in other cultures differ from the Western model, challenge this ideal.
Although differences are not universal, from an anthropological perspective, analyses of gender have identified two common constructions across cultures: men and women are differentiated and often segregated, as in the labor force, but this division is different for each culture. The other common construction is male domination, which was commonly determined by cultural traditions, even though the myth of biological determinism was used as an explanation for them. There are varied explanations for this persisted domination, in particular in the labor force, including the discussion by Marx and Engels about surplus or the relation of men and women with children.
Across cultures, higher status for women was determined by several factors, including access to child care, a child’s relationship and time spent with the father, greater control of resources, and property ownership. Segregation of men and women, in contrast, increased inequality, which included a greater likelihood of violence (rape) against women that is used to maintain gender inequality and ultimately male power.
Rituals offer a slightly different understanding of gender inequality because they are often symbols of gender inequity. Circumcision rituals for both males and females tend to occur in societies in which men have more power because they promote notions of difference and segregation that promote inequality. Other rituals, such as couvade (males’ experiencing symbolic pregnancy) and purdah (hiding oneself), control women.
An important issue in the cross-cultural discussion is the existence of multiple genders in other societies. Other genders challenge not only the existence of a biological dichotomy but also the hierarchy of gender because the other genders are often not marginalized in the societies in which they exist. As well, sexuality has not always been explicitly linked to the other genders. In fact, although homosexuality is common among both humans and nonhumans, it is the social response to homosexuality that differs across cultures, with some accepting it as a standard practice. In conjunction with this idea, heterosexual sexual practices also differ across cultures in acceptability, timing, place, and the roles of the partners.
Ultimately, so much cross-cultural variation of gender, gender divisions, and sexuality raises questions about present theoretical explanations of male dominance. And still, even with the pervasive social dominance of men, the experiences within each culture can be best understood through cultural relativism.
Learning objectives:
1. to be able to name cross-cultural evidence that male domination, sex-based division of labor, and particular forms of gender differentiation are not biologically inevitable
4. to be able to name some of the hallmark factors associated with societies that feature gender inequality and male domination
5. to understand the cross-cultural evidence that may change the way we consider issues such as rape, male and female circumcision, binary gender, and homosexuality

Assignment
1. For male circumcision, use the following topic: Should we continue to engage in male circumcision or make it more optional in Western society? Go beyond the popular idea of circumcision for health and hygienic
purposes.
2. For FGC, Female Genital Cutting: should we as a society step in and stop any female circumcision in other cultures, or do we have a right to stop what is part of another culture? Why are these rituals used in a society?

To illuminate your argument, you can also discuss other rituals, such as becoming a man and becoming a woman, and then compare with the rituals in our society.
Give your own opinion, backed up with citations from the readings. (Readings
are attached)

Strategy Selection, Implementation and Evaluation Assignment

Purpose:
This project is the last of four projects. You will generate a pool of alternative strategies, evaluate these alternative strategies, and select the best strategy using the tools and concepts learned throughout the course. You will develop implementation plans, evaluative plans to control the implementation process, and plan for post-evaluation measures. You will also draw from previous business courses to understand how organizations develop and manage strategies to establish, safeguard, and sustain their position in a competitive market.
Skill Building:
In this project, you build many different skills, including research, critical thinking, writing, and developing analytical skills related to various financial analysis tools and strategy tools used in business. In addition, you will select optimal strategies, design how to implement them, and evaluate the implementation process of the optimal strategies.

Write an approximately 250-word summary(mla format essay) of one of the articles we have read.

The essay has to be mla format and has to clearly present the other author’s main ideas, as well as a response, which uses a thesis and specific evidence and explanation to present your own ORIGINAL idea. In your response, you should “use” the other author’s ideas to develop your own claim. Use the author’s overall conclusions, main ideas, as well as key terms and examples. While you will be putting the other author’s arguments into your own words, avoid distortion or judgment in the summary. Then, write a response (approximately 250 words) to the article’s claims and assertions. You may draw on evidence that supports your position from your personal experience and observations, but also go back into the text to provide illustration for the generalizations you make about the other author’s claims. Your response should move from general claims to specifics and progress to a final position. Part I Summary (50 points) A successful summary will use CABIN and thus be: Comprehensive: conveys all the important information Accurate: correctly conveys the author’s ideas, findings and arguments Brief: conveys the information concisely, avoiding unimportant details Independent: makes sense to a reader who has not read the original Neutral: avoids judgements and opinions Part II Response (50 points) A successful response will demonstrate: a serious engagement with the text, which attempts to “listen” and understand as well as “talk back to” the other author’s argument a movement from generalizations to specifics, which develops the general claims with specific examples from the original text and/or your own observations and experience in an effort to convince your reader a clear explanation of how your examples support and develop your claims as we discussed during the Object Diagram exercise. Both the summary and the response will be evaluated on the quality of the prose and the proper use of grammar and MLA citation strategies. Your writing should enhance, rather than hinder, the reader’s understanding. The source is down below. Make sure to write about the character you thought learned the most valuable lesson or learned the biggest lesson and elaborate on that with quotes and an explanation plz.
