Application Exercises

The idea behind this exercise is to get you to apply anthropological topics and terminology to a specific context of social behavior & cultural categories. The more anthropological terms you are able to correctly apply, the more credit you receive. The specific case to which you’ll be applying class material will a fictional world i.e. movie or tv show. This can involve multiple episodes of one show or multiple movies from one franchise. The film/show can also be in a language other than English – but in this case, please ensure there’s an English language summary of I that I can find online (provide a link).

Success Zones

WEEK 3: Essay 1: Success Zones (10 points) – 700-1,000 words

Consider your department or organization’s mission, and the problems you face in the workplace. Identify 2-3 problems you would like to work toward solving. Using the steps outlined on pp. 149-151 in Puccio, Mance, & Murdock, analyze the degree of importance and probability of success for each problem, as well as the “success zone” within which each falls. Based on this evaluation, identify one problem you’d recommend working on resolving, and provide a rationale as to why you chose the problem.

Crime Scene Research Paper

Crime Scene Research Paper
Step 1: Report
Select a criminal case with a computer forensics component that has not been covered in class materials
Suggested Cases:
Casey Anthony
Dennis Rader (BTK)
Jodi Arias
Lori Vallow/Chad Daybell
Aaron Hernandez
Research a criminal case and write a research report about how the crime scene and digital evidence was processed in that case
Summary:
Approximately 3-5 pages single spaced, Arial or Calibri font, 12 point, 1 inch margins
Summarize the case
Provide a brief overview of the case (Note: this should be brief, the purpose of the paper is analyzing the CRIME SCENE processing and should focus on the DIGITAL EVIDENCE component.)
Review the evidence & any available information
Describe the process investigators used to process the crime scene in this case
Include information about any mistakes that were made in the case
What was the outcome of the case?
Analysis:
Approximately 1-2 pages single spaces, Arial or Calibri font, 12 point, 1 inch margins
What would you do differently or the same?
Were there any issues in processing the crime scene/case that had an impact on the outcome/prosecution of the case?
Appendix:
Include visuals to support your report. This may include items from the actual case, such as: evidence logs, photos, search warrants, transcripts, other documents presented in court
Works Cited:
Cite any sources you use in APA – both in-text and a works cited page
Use at least 3 reputable sources to support your report.
Step 2: Conduct a “Background Check” on Yourself
Imagine you are one of the investigators in this case and will be presenting evidence in court. You need to ensure that there is nothing you have posted online or in your background that could be challenged by the opposing side that could put your case in jeopardy.
Remember the article: http://arstechnica.com/web/news/2009/03/officers-online-comments-used-against-him-in-court.ars
Research online to make sure there is nothing that could discredit your character as a witness.
Look for anything you can find online (i.e. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) that would question your values or credibility.
Write a brief summary of the process you took to conduct the background check and whether or not you found anything that could be questioned. You do not need to provide details or information about what you found, just the process and if you did or did not find anything. (Just a paragraph or two is needed. This does not need to be extensive.)
Include your background check summary after the works cited page in your report.

Notes:

write about ghosts and argue it is real.

Write about ghosts and argue that it is real, put in real life situations and examples of ghost being real. The paper should make the person reading it believe that ghosts are real. ( Thesis:
The existence of ghosts is supported by a variety of sources, including personal experiences, religious and cultural beliefs, and scientific evidence.) Use this thesis to write the paper and make sure the sources are legit and accessible. After each 1 paper is completed please send it to me so I can see how it is.

Re-write Essay: Gender Mainstreaming Policy Analysis

This assignment is to analyse the “Gender Mainstreaming Strategy of Umeå University” (file attached), by using Carol Bacchi’s ‘What’s the problem represented to be?’ WPR approach to policy analysis, based on the following questions:

· Question 1: What is the problem represented to be in the specific policy (file attached)?
· Question 2: What presuppositions or assumptions underlie this representation of the ‘problem’?
· Question 3: How has this representation of the ‘problem’ come about?
· Question 4: What is left unproblematic in this problem representation? Where are the silences? Can the ‘problem’ be thought differently?
Structure the paper in the following manner:

1. Briefly situate the policy in its socio-political and historical context with references to the course literature (max. 1-2 paragraphs),
2. Briefly situate the theoretical context of the WPR-approach (max. 1-2 paragraphs),
3. The WPR-analysis based on explicit examples from the policy (main body of the paper),
4. Concluding discussion (1-2 paragraphs).
5. References.
This paper requires editing – please include headlines and a more focused structure, as it is now it is far too long and repetitive.
TO BE EDITED/RE-WRITTEN: The theoretical context of Carol Bacchi’s WPR-approach is quite specific and cannot be summarized with the very general fields “feminist scholarship and political science” (which are not theoretical positions). This part is also quite general and does not show understanding of the theoretical setting of this specific methodology (e.g., writing “It also draws from post-structuralist and discourse analysis theories, which examine the role of language and representation in shaping power relations and constructing social reality” is not quite the same as explaining how language and power relate to each other).
TO BE EDITED/RE-WRITTEN: What is the problem represented to be in the University’s Policy on Gender Equality (file attached)? It is missing from this paper. It is a key question that needs to be answered.
This is a methodological exercise, and it is Carol Bacchi’s WPR methodology and theoretical understanding of power and gender that must guide the analysis.
