Ethics – Outline, Written and Visual assignment

All three parts will be based on this :

I want to use Parkins concept of empathy to demonstrate that empathy is more than just feeling sorry for others, its also about attempting to comprehend their actual lives. To explain why these struggles occur Ill discuss concepts like racialization and racial capitalism. Ill also demonstrate how Latinx communities support one another and stand up for themselves. “

Introduction:

• Hook the reader
• Consider including:
• Personal connection/anecdote
• Relevant news/ current events or overarching trends
• Identify and describe the focus/problem
• A research problem is a definite or clear expression [statement] about an area of concern, a condition to be improved upon, a difficulty to be eliminated, or a troubling question that exists in scholarly literature, in theory, or within existing practice that points to a need for meaningful understanding and deliberate investigation. A research problem does not state how to do something, offer a vague or broad proposition, or present a value question.

• Thesis statements: breaks down an issue or an idea into its component parts, evaluates the issue or idea, and presents this breakdown and evaluation to the audience.

Discussion:

(2-3 pages) The discussion is your analysis of the timeline in relation to the problem. Using theory, youll consider why the events happened the way they did and why certain actions were taken and/or had certain effects. This section is often considered the most important part of a research paper because it most effectively demonstrates your ability as a researcher to think critically about an issue, to develop creative solutions to problems based on the literature, and to formulate a deeper, more profound understanding of the problem you are studying.

• Reference a minimum of 3 events from your timeline with citations.
• Identify, define, and cite the theory/theories you are using to support your analysis
• Be sure to answer the following questions:
• What theory/theories are you using to support your analysis?
• What barriers were faced? How were they overcome?
• How does the timeline relate to the course material?

• Use Quotes Sparingly: Some short quotes are appropriate if you want to emphasize a point, or if what an author stated cannot be easily paraphrased. Sometimes you may need to quote certain terminology that was coined by the author. Do not use extensive quotes as a substitute for using your own words in reviewing existing literature.
• Use your own voice dont try to sound academic

Conclusion:

(1/2-1 page) What’s next? What recommendations do you have for policy or practice?
