Assignment Task:
Explanatory Synthesis of an Ethical Perspective on a Cultural or Ethnic Group
Length and Formatting: 6-8 pages, typed, double-spaced, with a left-justified margin, black 12-point, Times New Roman font, written in 3rd person.
Brainstorming for the Essay: Think about essays one and two write a few sentences about what Ethical Perspectives are at play in and among Social Circles, Communities, Education, and Employment within those essays. Next, in one sentence try to flesh out what Ethical Perspective Trevor Noah is pointing out, and what are the main points with which he seemed to want to leave readers. (Remember this is not a book report, you are using Trevor Noah as a starting point to help ground and provide evidence for your Synthesis.) Then, underneath each sentence list the evidence provided by each of the writers such as: examples? Numeric data? Or Something else?
Assignment: What is an ethical position that the population should adopt, on the role of cultural activism in relationship to formal or informal situations among Racial Group Dominance and Subordination? Consider: The value of how social circles among cultures work, how communities view cultural activism that is not of their own native origin, how educational and employment opportunities differ.

There is not one definitive answer here, but a range of possible positions, each of which may affect how we see and treat people who continue to survive in a socially controversial world. For example, the position that the majority population takes on this topic may influence the level of respect that your readers give to people who learn how to deal with different cultures. Or the position that you propose may ultimately influence the value with which many of your peers continue forming their own social circles, communities, education, or employment.
- As you write your paper, you should give specific evidence from 3 of the (individual chapters) within Trevor Noah.
- You should provide what the perspectives are within social circles, communities, education, or employment; the perspectives may overlap with one or more of the works that you cite, but even so, the highlighted position should come across clearly.
- Include one visual to illustrate your own perspective.
Audience: Imagine that your paper will be read by local city leaders who can influence the higher education and job training options in Houston. These leaders are studying the perspectives of community members like you before they do further research and then make recommendations to local leaders in education, business, and industry about the kinds of postsecondary education and/or job training to support in the coming years.
Research: If you choose to obtain outside sources you are limited to 2 sources only. Do not use Google. Resources that can be used for this assignment should only be comprised of in-class text, Jstor, or the Library. If you choose to utilize quotes from these sources for this paper, you will need to make sure you are introducing the quote or quotes correctly, make sure that it is absolutely necessary to have the author's words exactly and not your own words.
Rationale: Accurately and respectfully synthesizing other people's texts is a large part of working with complex ideas and identifying your own position in relation to others' ideas marks you as a discerning thinker and writer. These are among the skills that you will continue refining in ENGL 1302 and beyond. Additionally, this assignment gives you your most formal audience yet, and in doing so, the assignment forces you to polish your prose by the time you complete your final draft. Many, though not all, college and professional writing situations will require a writing tone that is formal but not stuffy. With Paper #3, you can practice using that tone.
