TIPS ON WRITING A GOOD PAPER Anthropology 41A INTRODUCTION  Your introduction should catch your reader’s attention and outline what your paper is about. Problem (state the issue you are examining) • Background (contextualize the problem, provide background information) • Thesis (what is your main argument, what is the paper about) • Question (what are some questions the paper wants to answer) • • Structure (should follow the order of the thesis, should flow logically from each other, transition words and/or sentences) • Sentences (keep paragraphs short, short sentences, clear and pithy) • Language (formal language, not conversational) • General to specific (when making points, start with a general argument, then provide specific examples to back up your argument) • Quotations (try and use quotes from your sources to back up arguments) • Class resources (incorporate things from the class, readings, lectures, films, try and link concepts from your paper to those we’ve discussed in class BODY/ANALYSIS  This is the main content and bulk of the paper, where you make your argument that was presented above in your thesis. CONCLUSION   This should summarize your overall paper with a few concluding points.  Summary (make final points about your arguments, what you learned from this paper, final analysis) Finalize (make sure your arguments are closed, no gaps) USE OF CITATIONS Citations go at the end of the sentence: NO: When you quote something “from a newspaper or journal,” (Douglas 2008) make sure you cite the source.  YES: When you quote something “from a newspaper or journal,” make sure you cite the source (Douglas 2008).  Citations go inside the period:   NO: When you cite something, “make sure that you use the correct format,” reminded the professor. (Douglas 2008) YES: When you cite something, “make sure that you use the correct format,” reminded the professor (Douglas 2008). CITATIONS, CONT…  For books, articles, etc:   For articles with an author:   New York Times 2010; Reuters 2010 For lectures:   Jones 2009 For articles without an author:   Ex: Blaut 1993:23 Douglas 2010 For Internet sources*:  World Bank 2009; UNDP 2010 * Please note that Wikipedia is not a valid reference; you can use this for background information, but it should not be used as a reference for the paper. USE OF QUOTATIONS There should be lead in/outs to quotations, to contextualize the quote: NO: “Be sure to turn in your papers on time.”  YES: As Professor Douglas said in lecture, “be sure to turn in your papers on time.”  YES: “Always turn in your papers on time,” the professor reminded the class.  When using quotations, the first letter does not need to be capitalized: NO: As we discussed in class, “Do not plagiarize your papers.”  YES: As we discussed in class, “do not plagiarize your papers.”  USE OF NUMBERS Do not start off sentences with a number: With numbers, there is not hard rule, but in general:    NO: 50,000 people were injured in the explosion last week. YES: An estimated 50,000 people were injured in the explosion last week. From 1-10, write out the numbers:    When my friend was eight years old, she fell off her bike. I have been living in California for the past five years. For numbers above 10, use the numerical figure.   When my friend was 15, she fell into the lake. It was nearly 30 years ago that my friend left her hometown. OTHERS… The comma is your friend: If you introduce an acronym for the first time, always write it out followed by the acronym in parenthesis: NO: It is not appropriate for example to keep a sentence going where you never put in any commas in part because it will sound weird and eventually you run out of breath to read the entire sentence if there are no breaks in it.  YES: When in doubt, read the sentence out loud, and then decide where there should be breaks.    The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) The World Health Organization (WHO) IT IS CONSIDERED PLAGIARISM IF…  You take a phrase from an article without putting quotations around it and do not cite it.  NO: The story of Cortes has been of defeat for some, of reaffirmation for others.  YES: The story of Cortes has been “of defeat for some, of reaffirmation for others” (Portilla 1992:xxii).  You paraphrase an author without citing him/her.  NO: The story of Cortes has been of losing for some, of reconfirmation for others.  YES: The story of Cortes has been of losing for some, of reconfirmation for others (Portilla 1992:xxii).  You take an idea or key phrase from an author without quoting the idea/phrase or citing it.  NO: One theory of nationalism is that it is an imagined community.  YES: One theory of nationalism is that it is an “imagined community” (Anderson 2006). PLAGIARISM, CONT…  In general, if you take any idea, phrase, sentence, paragraph or piece of work that is not yours and pass it off as your own without proper quotation marks and citations, it is plagiarism.

Historiography: Hong Kong Protests
Historiography focusses on the way an event got approached and how it got written. It
also deals with the conflicting objectives that different authors wrote about it over time.
Historiography also involves the way such factors shape people's understanding of the real event
and the nature of history. The Hong King riots is a recent event that has attracted widescale
attention globally. The nature of the riots and the surrounding factors influencing it are worth the
attention it gets. Several matters are at stake in this case, such as democratic rights of protestors,
human rights, among others. The Hong Kong riots are anti-government protests that have since
rocked Hong Kong from June, and there seems to be no end in sight. The protests that started in
June were due to the tabled bills that sought to extradite individuals to mainland China. Several
protestors expressed concerns that the move could undermine judicial independence as well as
endanger dissidents. It was about the perceived rights that the residents have enjoyed for a long
time. Initially, Hong Kong was under British rule until 1997 when it got returned to mainland
China. Hong Kong was then placed under the “one country, two systems” arrangement that gave
it more autonomy compared to mainland China. The arrangement also saw Hong King have
more rights for its citizens. Despite the controversial bill getting withdrawn in September,
demonstrations continued that demanded inquiry on the police actions and full democracy.
Currently, the clashes between the police and demonstrators are getting more violent as the

used in this article offer different insights and weigh on the matter. The authors have expressed
different perspectives concerning the event. For instance, according to the Atlantic, the protests

opinion addressed to the US for double-standards.
“Hong Kong’s Protesters Are Outfoxing Beijing Worldwide” by The Atlantic
The article “Hong Kong’s Protesters Are Outfoxing Beijing Worldwide” from the
Atlantic is a commentary on the Hong Kong riots impact around the world (The Atlantic). The
article also discusses how the protest managed to surpass and make the protestors win public
opinion worldwide. It also discusses the specific number of nations that so far came out in
support of the movement. Some of the cities were in various locations across the world,
including North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The author argues that the public opinion
battle on the global scale is a loose situation for the Chinese Communist Party. He also
highlights the impact that the protests had on the repressed groups in areas like Tibet and
Xinjiang. The author also indicates that the protests are a success since it managed ...
