History of football Paper details: A Football History in 10 Objects/Images (Re-constructing and curating an argumentative narrative around 10 objects.) A Football History in 10 Objects/Images The second option is to “curate” – or rather construct a draft proposal for a “curation” – a small special exhibit or photo essay that tells a story related to football by using objects/illustrations. To do so, position your objects/images in an order to provide your curation with a structure. Briefly describe what each object/image is, as if they had “tags”. Write a brief explanation “blurb” that brings the objects/images together into a narrative. Remember: • Choose wisely: Think of how exhibits at museums use objects to tell us stories. The objects do not – or should not – simply add illustrations to a story that is already written. Rather, the objects/images drives what is written: The objects dictate what story can be told. • Describe: Make sure you say what the object/image is. By as descriptive as you possibly can in as few words as you can. • Explain: Make sure your explanatory blurb is succinct. Remember that you do not have many words to play with. Your explanation should help viewers see a logic or structure behind the items you chose to put on display. Your grade will be based on the overall quality of your curation, which we will assess on the following: • Your choice of objects/images • Your description of the objects/images • The written quality of your brief explanation that links the objects/images chosen by framing a historical narrative If you are thinking of choosing the “A Football History in 10 Objects/Images” option, I strongly recommend you have a look at special exhibits in museums and art galleries. One of the benefits of living in the capital region is that it is home to many such museums and art galleries that are not available elsewhere. Take advantage of the opportunity they present. Unfortunately, Canada’s Soccer Hall of Fame and Museum is located in Vaughn, the Canadian Football Hall of Fame and Museum is in Hamilton, and the National Football Museum is in Manchester. But, it may be worth having a look at the latter’s “A History of the World Cup in 24 Objects” as an example. See their online exhibit at: https://nationalfootballmuseum.culturalspot.org/home The goals of the written assignment are the following: • To conduct a structured research within set parameters (using a pre-determined web-site or historical documents); ! • To develop skills of critical and creative thinking that cross or transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries (such as eras/political regimes and the use of media as non- textual historical sources); and ! • To form and defend a particular original argument in convincing fashion by using the above-mentioned historical practices.

Ethical Issues (2 topics) Paper details: Write a paper, using APA format, on the both ethical topics provided (see attachment). It will be written as one paper but both topics need addressed (see example paper). This paper should be 8-10 pages not counting title, abstract, or reference pages. References used must be written in the US if articles and they also must be current. Topic 1: Employer required health vaccines and testing - Should employees have the right to make health care workers get vaccinations? This may include the flu vaccine, shingles, or other vaccines. Should employers have the right to require testing for hepatitis, nicotine, etc. when the employee does not get health insurance through the company? Topic 2: Childhood vaccinations - Should all children regardless of culture, religious affiliation or parental decision bate required vaccinations? Instructions and my thoughts (use in conjunction with sample paper example and instructions by prof) - Use the ethical principles to discuss - I think both topics should be made to have necessary vaccines and testing. Health of greater good trumps autonomy but both sides need discussed. I do not however think that you should be able to require testing of those that do not get insurance through the company. To me it is a violation of privacy
