CHABOT—SPRING 2016—1st PAPER—ENGLISH--McFARLAND
For our first paper we will be
coming to a deeper understanding about Gilligan’s theory of violence. In part,
we will be doing this by considering how different aspects of the theory might
actually offer insights for a parent in raising their children. You have 5
questions to consider in doing this paper. You should plan to answer at least 4
of them.
1. You will
want to explain what Gilligan means by shame, and discuss the role it plays in
his theory.
2. You will
want to discuss the influence of childhood and environment in the “creation” of
violent persons.
3. You will
want to discuss what is meant by “violence is a symbolic language,” and in
light of this concept, offer your opinion about spanking—physically disciplining
children.
4. You also
should discuss 3 or more ideas in the book that a parent could use to help them
in raising a child.
5. Finally,
what relationship do you see between Gilligan’s concept of “Structural
Violence” and the notion of “Family.”
Throughout this essay, you
should bring in ideas and examples found in our books, handouts, or even other
outside sources in order to support your points. Of course you MUST
integrate quotes. You need to average
1-2 quotes per body paragraph. We will be talking about how to effectively do
this.
When you write this essay you do
not need to number the questions. Rather, we will rely on your use of KEYWORDS
and CONCEPTS in the paragraph topic sentences to know where you are in the
essay.
In this paper you often will be
summarizing and paraphrasing the ideas of others—we will need to make certain
that in doing so that you do not plagiarize. This will be a crucial
part of your assignment here.
