Foucault’s Concept of Disciplinary Power
Hi I need help with a mini essay due on Thursday night. Use the 2 readings below and no other outside resources to answer the prompt. The prompt is as follows:
“Intersectional feminist theory illuminates how we are comprised of an array of social identities that are subject to interlocking systems of oppression that form a matrix of domination. How does this theory expand Foucault’s concept of disciplinary power, such as with the medical gaze? Explicate a specific example of this intersectional expansion of Foucault from the assigned reading: Kai Shappley: A Trans Growing Up in Texas.”
Sexual trauma
Question Description: One in 6 females and one in 33 males have experienced some form of sexual trauma in their lives (RAINN, 2009). Many who seek treatment present with issues unrelated to sexual trauma. Given the high percentage of sexual trauma survivors, it is very likely that you will encounter clients with such a history during your career, regardless of your specialization. Therefore, it is important to familiarize yourself with a sexual trauma framework and skills specific to working with this population. While sexual trauma mostly occurs on an individual level, it also can have a significant impact on the family system. As a practitioner, you may intervene with the individual survivor, the parent(s) of a child who has been sexually abused, the spouse of a rape survivor, and/or the family system as a whole.
For this Discussion, select two types of sexual trauma from the readings this week and think about two interventions you might use for each and why.
Major sociological perspectives
Refer to Chapter. 1 to review the three major sociological perspectives.
Use all three perspectives (functionalism, conflict and interactionism) to analyze any current issue:
(Global warming, terrorism, gender roles, personal branding, science and technology, utopian society, economy, leadership, discrimination, relationships, health, gun control, immigration, disabilities, minimum wage, abortion, cohabitation, etc.). You can choose one to make it easier for you 🙂
Write a 700- to 1,000-word essay in which you complete the following:
Give a brief introduction that identifies the issue you have chosen and why.
Describe in three separate paragraphs how each perspective would view or explain the issue.
Protagonist and antagonist
ASSIGNMENT: Write a character analysis. A character’s development generally has an important impact on a story’s major themes. Choose a key character (the story’s protagonist) or characters (the story’s protagonist and antagonist, etc.) in one of the following stories and discuss how the character’s development contributes to a major theme in that story. Completing this task requires that you are able to state succinctly the theme of the short story.
Write a 500 to 700-word analytical essay about one or more characters from one of the short stories listed below. You must include at least three direct quotations from the short story itself. You are not permitted to use other sources of information (i.e. web sites, articles, books, etc. about the short story). Doing so will result in a Code of Conduction violation.
