Order Description
THE MAIN ISSUES FROM THE ARTICLE COMES FROM THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO:
SO DISCUSS WHERE RELEVANT
The paper should:
Identify a specific social issue
Discuss the identified issue in its broader context, at the same time integrating relevant theoretical perspectives
Use relevant research to build a logical argument and discussion;
Propose some potential directions of future research.
Some things to keep in mind:
State clearly what is the main focus of the paper.
Build a logical argument: your argument should be clear and logical. Avoid broad generalisations, be objective in considering evidence, and address counterarguments to what you propose.
Use evidence to support your argument: Your argument should be based on empirical evidence that comes from studies that are clearly described. The evidence to support your assertions should be clear.
Overall writing style: it should be straightforward, clear, and easy to follow. Your paper should be well-organised and written for a professional audience. The paper should be carefully proofread before submission.
Referencing style: The paper should follow Harvard format.
BODY:
Intro: what is racism
Theoretical background: why are people racist, explain the link between both RELATIVE DEPRIVATION THEORY AND SOCIAL IDENTITY THEORY TO SUBTLE RACISM
Social analysis: talk about the effects of prejudice (ie mental health, social health) and how to overcome racism (ie common goals, working together, material that was covered in lectures)
Conclusion: summarize the work and suggest future research
OTHER POINTS TO BE FOLLOWED:
Use examples of the research you plan to use in the social analysis section, for example intergroup behaviour and research by Yin Paradies and colleagues on effects of prejudice and discrimination on health.
Preferably use journal articles and academic books (or book chapters). Reports, like government reports, are also a good source. We also urge you to avoid textbooks, and go for more theoretical or empirical work. Newspaper articles can be used in certain contexts (e.g., to establish a specific incident or phenomena you are wanting to discuss, like the attacks on Indian students and cab drivers a few years back), but you should place far greater emphasis academic work like journal articles and books/chapters.
