  • Masculinity and Femininity in The Odyssey

    $7.50

    Masculinity and Femininity in Homer’s “The Odyssey”

    The major writing assignment for this week is to compose a 500 or 600–word paper that analyzes how gender—masculinities and femininities—is portrayed in TheOdyssey. One way to approach this assignment is to consider how male characters think and speak about female characters (human and/or divine). How do the males treat female characters? How do the female characters treat the males? What patterns emerge? Based on those patterns, can you identify models of femininities and masculinities in The Odyssey? In other words, are particular behaviors, conditions, or roles associated with men but not women and vice versa? Second, analyze at least two major male characters. What does this reveal? Now carefully consider two female figures (human and/or divine).  How are they represented? Using the data that you gathered, describe what the ideal ancient Greek woman and man might have been like. Next, decide if any of the female and male characters violate rules that apply to women’s and men’s behavior and, in so doing, offer the audience negative models of gender. Reflect on The Odyssey’sending—who wins and loses and why? What do the ultimate fates of the female and male characters reveal about ancient Greeks’ ideas about gender?

    Do not simply answer all these questions in order to develop your paper. These questions are designed to catalyze critical thinking, and you should use the writing process described in the online lectures.

    As you prepare to write this week’s paper make sure you understand how many things you are being asked to do.

    • How is gender portrayed in The Odyssey?
    • With regard to gender, what do different elements of The Odyssey (such as genre, epic, myth, or hero) reveal about the culture, era, region, or important philosophies and values?

  • The Fallacy of Marijuana Legalization

    $7.50

    The Fallacy of Marijuana Legalization

    34-160 (02): Reasoning Skills (Guetter)
    1. Begin by choosing any ONE of the following as the centrepiece for your ‘Fact-and-Arguments’-style
    B1. an argument involving a ‘straw man’ fallacy and ‘equivocation’; or
    B2. a cogent (or sound) argument involving conversion and contradiction; or
    B3. a cogent (or sound) argument involving constructive dilemma and disjunctive syllogism; or
    B4. a cogent (or sound) argument involving reduction ad absurdum.
    2. Next, apply your understanding of B1, B2, B3, or B4 to any ONE of the following statements in 2.1.B, p. 70
    (treating those statements as conclusions rather than premises):
    3. Marijuana should be legalized; or
    6. Society has an obligation to provide housing for the homeless; or
    12. Nuclear deterrence is irrational; or
    16. a claim of your own invention.
    This yields 16 possibilities: B1 applied to 6, B4 applied to 3, etc.
    Notes:
    1. In addition to information re: course/section, date, and student name/number, the title-page must include the Letter-Number combination of the logical topic you intend to write on (from #1 above) followed
    by a descriptive title contents (from #2 above; if you select 2.16, you will need to come up with your own title). Use the Letter-Number combination together with a one-word indication of your
    subject-matter for the complete filename of the file you upload to turnitin, e.g. ‘A4 and Marijuana’, ‘A1 and Society’, ‘A3 and Nuclear’, and so on.
    The Letter-Number combination is necessary to tell your TA/GA which specific logical topic you intended to write . A complete descriptive title for your work is insufficient for this purpose, and a oneword summary of that title is even less so. In short, no Letter-Number combination = nothing to evaluate.
    2. A requirement of first-class work is that it shows something (e.g. equivocation) without naming it anywhere i including its title page (e.g. ‘she equivocated’).
    3. The required length is approximately 900 words, double-spaced (about three pages, excluding title-page). A set of loose pages, whether held together with dog-ears or a paper clip or in a plastic cover or anything else will be returned to you until it is stapled together (just one, in the upper left corner); a stapler is about $1 at any Dollar Store. Get your own now.

    Solution for B1 and Marijuana, which means the “facts and arguments involving a “straw man” fallacy and “equivocation” regarding marijuana should be legalized”

    • Remember the goals of the course – perhaps there’s a way to relate it to your personal vision of contribution or the interconnectedness of things.
    • Give some thought to the best style to use – . Make sure the medium & method suit the message.
    • Consider taking your “finished writing” to a writing clinic or coach and getting some feedback on how to improve it. Likely you’ll find that this “finished” draft can be improved a lot.
