Sociology Weekly Reflection, 4-6 double spaced, or 2-3 single spaced, pages
Format: 12pt font, Times New Roman,
4-6 double spaced, or 2-3 single spaces pages
Hello, I need help with my weekly reflection for Sociology class. I will provide you with (1) Powerpoint, (2) the reading, and (3) the YouTube links of the videos we must mention in detail in the reflection. The reflection is not an essay with an intro, body, and conclusion, but rather just shows the understanding of this weeks material and develop an analytical perspective on it. It is highly encouraged to use quotes from both the readings and Powerpoint.
Down below I will attach the syllabus instructions for the weekly and the “Orientating Question” that was emailed to us after the lecture to help guide our reflection. THANK YOU.
TA (Teacher grading assistant) NOTE: “try to bring in more specifics from the lecture, readings and documentary, and cite them. So for example, when you describe Indonesia’s economy, say something to the effect of “As shown in lecture #2″. That makes it easier to see how you’re incorporating the ideas from different sources and gives credit where it’s due.”
Read these guidelines carefully. Each week, on 8 occasions, you will prepare a reflection essay of approximately 2-3 pages (single-spaced). These are not academic papers in which you need an introduction, hypothesis, conclusion, etc. They are reflections and you may use a more informal style, even stream of consciousness prose. Please note: there are two criteria we will use in grading these assignments:
Does your reflection demonstrate that you have participated in and paid attention to the lecture/powerpoint, done the readings, and engaged with the documentary?
Have you developed analytical discussion, including bringing in the terms, concepts, and theories that we discuss in the lecture and are in the readings? Have you shown how the three (lectures, readings, documentaries) are related to one another, and have you identified and discussed the underlying theme(s) that run through all three?
In addition, I will generally send out an email shortly after class with several orienting questions that you should respond to in the context of your reflection. We will be looking very carefully to see how you respond to these orienting questions, especially with regard to the readings.
Note that these reflections should not be a summary of the lecture, readings, and documentary, and nor should they be a question and answer format. Avoid mere description. The purpose is three-fold: 1) that you demonstrate you have attended the lectures done the readings, watched the documentaries, and given thought to them; 2) to identify what you did not understand and what you think is important to discuss in class, in relation to the course, and; 3) this is crucial, that you are able to synthesize the three (lecture, readings, documentary) to develop a meaningful analytical discussion on the topic of the week.
As you write these reflections, you should use the sociological concepts and terms you have acquired in the course and through the readings. We will be looking for this as we grade.
First of two essays: Discuss the Makdisi book in 4-6 double spaced, or 2-3 single spaced, pages. Specifically, discuss your understanding of the Israeli occupation, how it came about in the context of the creation of the state of Israel and the Israel-Palestine conflict. What was your understand of this conflict/occupation prior to reading this book? How does the account in this book contrast with mainstream and media accounts of this topic in the United States? What are the differences and also the similarities that Palestinians living under Israeli occupation with women banana workers, transnational immigrant workers, the poor in South Africa, the Zapatistas, and so on)? How might you relate this topic more broadly to globalization and resistance? Very importantly, how is this case study of Israeli colonialism linked to the topics we have been covering in this course? Make sure that your discussion is analytical, rather than merely describing the reading, and that it links the reading to the topics of the course.
Also, please read below “Instructions for Dec. 1 Meeting”. To get up to 5 extra credit points, you should include in this essay also discussion of the three items indicated in these instructions for Dec. 1, and incorporate them into the essay, writing an extra page or two
Three Questions in Regard to Conflict experienced in teams.
Label the questions with respective number
1. Identify some of the sources of conflict often experienced in teams. Select one of the sources and describe an exercise the team could utilize to overcome the conflict.
Your response should be at least 200 words in length.
2. Since violated expectations often lead to conflict for individual and team relationships, explain some of the most common expectations that leaders and subordinates often violate. Share personal work-related or community-based examples to solidify your understanding of the concept. In addition, discuss how these types of problems were handled in your workplace or team-building scenario. Were the methods used correct or incorrect? Explain your answer.
Your response should be at least 200 words in length.
3. Select one of the team mediation techniques (negotiation, role clarification, or start-stop-continue), and describe how you would use this technique to defuse a team conflict situation. Include an example of one of the techniques that you have witnessed in your work environment.
Your response should be at least 200 words in length.

Communication and Social Process class encyclopedia
You will keep a record of your reading, observations, questions, and commentary throughout the course, generating approximately 30 pages of double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 point, one-inch-margined text for the semester. Your primary task is this: regular and sustained research, reflection, and writing on any aspects of the course materials that interest you. You do not have to discuss every concept or every figure mentioned in our readings and discussions, but you should discuss many of them. And you should always do so in your own words (see the note below regarding plagiarism). At a minimum, your course encyclopedia should include the following:
Definitions of key terms mentioned in our readings and discussions (e.g., ethics, identity, language, signification, the unconscious, jouissance, etc.). Your definitions should be anchored in primary sources (e.g., assigned readings) as well as secondary sources (e.g. reputable dictionaries, online encyclopedias, published scholarship, and the like, several useful examples of which are posted on iLearn). And you should always cite your sources, ideally using footnotes, in keeping the Chicago Manual of Style: http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citation…. In addition to defining key terms, you should illustrate them with brief yet concrete examples of communicative action (e.g., recent moments in political culture, illustrative film sequences, lyrics from songs you like, ordinary social interactions you’ve witnessed, curious moments in celebrity culture, etc.).
Biographies of key figures mentioned in our readings and class discussions (e.g., Aristotle, Descartes, Bentham, Heidegger, Lacan, Deleuze, Haraway, etc.). Again, be sure to cite your secondary sources, and again please follow the Chicago Manual of Style.
Summaries of key arguments, basic attitudes, and/or central issues in our discussions and readings. You are also strongly encouraged to record and comment on intersections you see between the concepts and figures we are discussing in class and the ordinary, everyday phenomena you encounter in your daily lives.
Below are a few more tips on how to proceed:
Your encyclopedia should not simply regurgitate materials from lectures and class discussions. Instead, it should build on these materials, using them as foundations, scaffoldings, launch pads, springboards, etc. for new inquiries of your own—inquiries that stretch course materials in new directions, extending them into new terrains of social, political, and intellectual life that interest you. (See, for instance, the sample course encyclopedias posted on iLearn.)
You may use one writing style or multiple styles. And you can organize your encyclopedia several different ways: by date, by text, or even by category, dividing the entire project into several basic headings (e.g., Concepts, Figures, Arguments). However you decide to proceed, remember that the point of this semester-long assignment is to strengthen your ability to understand and articulate central concepts, figures, and events. (Again, take a look at the sample course encyclopedias posted on iLearn for examples.)
Finally, here is a simple, non-totalizing grading rubric, just to give you a sense of how your course encyclopedias will be evaluated:
“A” quality = many strong entries and conceptual syntheses across course content + many high-quality scholarly secondary sources to support your arguments (e.g., articles published in peer-reviewed journals, books published by university presses, and the like) + at least one new and profound insight on each page.
“B” quality = most but not all of the features mentioned above
“C” quality = your personal reflections + Wikipedia + a few new insights
“D” quality = typed-up class notes + a few reflections + mostly shallow insights
