CHABOT—Summer 2017—1st PAPER—ENGLISH 1A --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 4 questions to consider in doing this paper. You should plan to answer all of them.
1. You will want to explain what Gilligan means by shame, and discuss his theory about what causes violence.
2. You will want to discuss the influence of childhood and environment in the “creation” of violent persons.
3. You also should discuss 3 or more ideas in the book that a parent could use to help them in raising a child.
4. 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.
We will be doing drafts of the paper between now and the time it is due. It is important that you manage your time, and that you bring your draft on draft days.
The final draft is due on July 3.
The page minimum is 6—BNDJTM (But Never Do Just The Minimum.)
