Motherhood Poems
Reminder: You can use “I” but you should also be using specific examples from the texts in order to support your interpretation or to analyze. You do not need to answer all questions–they are there to guide you. These should be a minimum of 150 words. This should be a paragraph or two, not just sentences answering each question.

You will need to respond to TWO poems. You may compare them or discuss them separately.

Use any of the following questions to think about the “Pregnancy & Motherhood Poems”:

What tone does the speaker portray in the poem toward the time of pregnancy, the pregnant body, the unborn or born child, and/or being a mother?
Focus on the images and metaphors that are used for pregnancy itself, the mother-child relationship, or the baby. What do these metaphors reveal about how the speaker feels about this experience?
How is the act of childbirth similar to the process of artistic creation; in what ways does the poem use this metaphor (not all of them do)?
What view of motherhood is presented in the poem? What kind of connection between mother and child is explored?
Does the speaker express ambivalence about the self-sacrificing expectations of motherhood? Does the writer celebrate pregnancy and childbirth as a creative and fecund time? Does the perspective of the speaker or the tone shift at all during the course of the poem?
Why might the duties of motherhood invoke special anxiety in women writers? Is it possible to love one’s children and still feel ambivalent about the cultural imperative to ignore one’s own needs, artistic and otherwise, to care for them?
Did you connect personally with any particular poet or poem? Why?

You must share an interest you have outside of school and ask two philosophical questions about it. Make sure to spend a little time explaining your interest, along with articulating the kind (metaphysical, epistemological, ethical, or logical) of philosophical questions you are asking about your interest.

(Some of my interests are football and sports gambling.)

Don’t use dictionary definitions; instead, rely on your experience to develop as clear definitions as possible.

*PLEASE DO NOT USE OUTSIDE SOURCES*

You need to read, interpret, articulate, and relate what Descartes is getting at by two epistemological claims listed below.

In the first paragraph of Part IV in Discourse on Method, Descartes states when doing his philosophical meditation he: “reject[ed] as absolutely false everything in which I could imagine the least doubt, in order to see whether, after this process, something in my beliefs remained that was entirely indubitable” (18). He then states in paragraph three that he: “could take as a general rule that the things we conceive very clearly and distinctly are all true, but that there is some difficultly in properly discerning which are those that we distinctly conceive” (19).

In your own words, articulate the epistemological principles that Descartes is laying out and relate them to one another.

Don’t use dictionary definitions; instead, rely on your experience to develop as clear definitions as possible.

Base your essay on one of the activities listed below.
1. Explain the evolution of state-sponsored social services within the framework of changing political ideology and the impact this has had on the recipients of services. State your reasoned assumptions, based on your analysis, on what might take place in the next 5 to 10 years in Canada.

2. Explain in detail how political ideology has impacted the human services sector, or field in which you work and the response you would take if you were the decision-maker for your organization or program. Draw on your own reflections of the main concepts from the course to support your position.

3. Evaluate and discuss the evolution of the social safety net within North America and elaborate how it has helped a specific marginalized group of society to rise above its circumstances and how retrenchment has impacted this group. Draw on your own reflections of the main concepts from the course to support your position.

4. Present opposing ideological positions in a debate format on a national social policy issue (health care, post-secondary education, unemployment, child care, poverty reduction, Aboriginal self-governance, etc.) drawing on course concepts regarding the level of ideal government involvement, using historical precedents and current circumstances, and reflecting on potential future implications.

In our reading and videos, we talked about functional congruence in sports advertising, which means that the brand should be aligned with the sport or athlete in terms of their attitudes, characteristics, and values. Please share one positive example AND one negative example of functional congruence in sports advertising. Tell your classmates why you think the ads are congruent or not congruent. (Please upload related screenshots or post video links so your classmates would understand your examples better.)
