Globalization

  1. Globalization: Choose a specific example of how globalization has affected a particular place or group
    of people. You can choose an example from the lectures and/or readings, or one that you addressed in
    your annotated bibliography, or a new example derived from an academic source.
    Expand the example into a case study of the local-level effects of globalization. How has the local culture
    changed as a result of globalization? What have the people gained and what have they lost? Has global
    capitalism been fair to them?
  2. Territory: Analyze an example of conflict over territory that we covered in the course. Who are the
    people at risk of being displaced? What are some of the ways in which they try to hold their territory?
    Who is trying to take it from them, and why?
  3. “The frame”: In the concluding chapter of Renegade Dreams, Laurence Ralph makes a series of
    suggestions as to how we might interpret urban violence and poverty in the United States. Summarize
    Ralph’s concept of “the frame” and the ethnographic data upon which it is based. How might this
    concept be relevant to other low-income neighbourhoods?
  4. Your own topic from assignment #2: Assignment #2 required you to create your own research
    question, and to annotate three academic sources related to that question. Now you have the option of
    turning this work into a complete essay. Answer your own research question with an argument that is
    informed by the three sources you found, plus at least one source from our course syllabus (this can
    include the textbook). It is highly recommended that you only choose this option if you earned a B
    (7/10) or higher on assignment #3.

    Step Two: Review the Course Material
    o Look over the syllabus and identify the readings that are relevant to your topic. What have
    anthropologists said about this issue?
    Step Three: Find External Sources
    o Search the York library for at least two academic sources (from outside the course) that are
    relevant to your topic. You can use the sources you found for your annotated bibliography.
    o Another good strategy is to look up the sources that were cited in the material from our course.
    Step Four: Argument and Outline
    o Once you have read your external sources, start drafting an argument. We will go over how to
    craft a good argument in the seminars leading up to the essay.
    o Make a rough outline of your argument, two or three points that support it, and the evidence
    you will use to prove these supporting points.
    o Make sure that all the questions contained in your essay topic are answered by your argument
    and/or supporting points.
    Step Five: Writing and Editing
    o Turn your outline into prose.
    o Leave yourself plenty of time to make sure you have done your best work. Check that all of your
    points are relevant to your argument, that your paragraphs are well-organized, and that there
    are no typos.
    o Editing is very important and often overlooked. It is nearly impossible to do better than a C+ if
    you do not edit your work.
