Unit 2 Essay

On this Essay I have chose to take a closer view on #stopasianhate. Stopasianhate was created to stop Asian violence due toCovid-19. Many Asian women were killed, hurt, and other cruel. How did they support that? Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya was a artist in New York that created ” I Still Believe In Our City “. Phingbodhipakkiya art”s were panels that had symbolic imagery, bright colors and even portraits for ASIAN in New York to stand their ground.She had her art everywhere including museums, galleries, conferences, classrooms, speakeasies, rallies, digital screens, and on buildings all over the world.

FINAL EXAM READINGS

The readings for the final exam are: “The Case for Black Joy,” by Hadiya Roderique, and “Disobedience as a Psychological and Moral Problem,” by Erich Fromm.

We will look at these together at the end of the semester, but YOU NEED TO STUDY THEM ON YOUR OWN, TOO. The best preparation for the exam is to read these repeatedly throughout the semester, until you feel them in your bones.

After you read this essay, post a reply using the “terms and ideas” model. Watch the Terms and Ideas” video and read more about that model here.

A reminder on the form:

  1. Read the article (or essay or poem) first. Take note of things you need to look up. Look them up. Check that you are using a definition that makes sense.
  2. Mark sections of the text that introduce interesting ideas. This is much easier to do if you are reading on paper! If you are reading on-screen, write notes in a notebook. I know, it’s easier not to, but you will really, really wish you had done this when it is time to write a paper on this topic. Plus it makes you smarter.
  3. In you reply, list at least 3 terms you looked up. This can mean just looking a word up in the dictionary — such as “tabernacle,” in the James Baldwin — or looking up a broader concept — such as “Congo Square” in wikipedia or similar. (Yes, wikipedia is fine for this purpose.)
  4. PROVIDE A SOURCE FOR YOUR DEFINITION. If you copy it word for word — which is fine for this assignment — PUT IT IN QUOTATION MARKS. You don’t need to use full MLA format for this assignment, though you are welcome to. A URL in parentheses or a link is fine. But get in the habit of giving credit to your sources.
  5. Next, write 1-3 paragraphs about an idea in the text you think is worth further examination.
  6. After making your reply, return to the post and comment on 2-3 of your classmates’ replies. You may learn something! There are a lot of smart people around here.
