Introduction

Begin with an introductory paragraph that has a thesis statement at the end. The introduction should set up your topic, giving a preview and summary of the analysis you will present in the body of the paper. The thesis statement is the last sentence or two of the introduction and states what the main point structuring your paper will be.

Here is an Example of an Introduction (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

Part I

Using the article by Miner (1956) and the feedback you received from your instructor on your worksheet in Week Three, describe one aspect of your own culture from an etic perspective. See the appropriate Sections in the Textbook in the List of Topics (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., based on your chosen topic from Week Three, for information on how to approach your paper from an anthropological perspective. You can describe American culture in general, as Miner does, or you can describe an American subculture, such as a specific geographical group (e.g., New Yorkers), a particular ethnicity (e.g., African Americans), or an age-related category of Americans (e.g., millennials).

Use reputable statistics and/or scholarly research to support any factual statements. Do not rely solely on personal experience or opinion.

Part II

Refer to the article you chose for Part II of the worksheet assignment in Week Three and describe an aspect of another culture from an emic (insider’s) perspective. You do not have to do research beyond reading your chosen article; however, if you do choose to conduct additional research make sure to use reputable statistics and/or scholarly sources to support any factual statements. Do not rely upon personal experience or opinion.

Conclusion

End with a concluding paragraph that reinforces your thesis. Summarize and tie together your main points for the reader. Provide a brief self-reflexive analysis of what you learned while writing this paper.

The Final Research Paper

  • Must describe an aspect of your own culture from an etic perspective for Part I.
  • Must describe an aspect of another culture from an emic perspective for Part II.
  • Must demonstrate a perspective of cultural relativism throughout, avoiding judgmental and opinionated language.

Summary of your source for Part II (include one to two paragraphs, totaling at least 300 words). Enter your summary in the space below. 5) Write a working thesis statement based on your sources. See this example. Working Thesis Statement: Page 1 of 1 1 GUIDELINES FOR SUMMARIZING SOURCES Summarizing Another good skill to help you incorporate research into your writing is summarizing. Summarizing is to take larger selections of text and reduce them to their basic essentials: the gist, the key ideas, the main points that are worth noting and remembering. Think of a summary as the "general idea in brief form"; it's the distillation, condensation, or reduction of a larger work into its primary notions and main ideas. As with directly quoting and paraphrasing, summarizing requires you to cite your sources properly to avoid "accidental" plagiarism. Moreover, a summary should not change the meaning of the original source. A good summary should be a shortened version that conveys the purpose and main points of the original source. Components of a Good Summary:        Write in the present tense. Make sure to include the author, the year, and title of the work. o For example:  In Pixar’s 2003 movie, Finding Nemo…  In Stephen King’s horror book The Shining (1977),…  In Emily Dickinson’s poem “Because I Could Not Stop for Death (1890),” Be concise: a summary should not be equal in length to the original text; it should be about 1/10 as long. Include 2–3 main points of the text or work. Include the conclusion or the final findings of the work. Avoid using quotations. A summary is not a paraphrase or a direct quote. If you must use the author's key words or phrases, always enclose them in quotation marks and cite. Don't put your own opinions, ideas, or interpretations into the summary. The purpose of writing a summary is to accurately represent what the author wanted to say, not to provide a critique. When Is a Summary Useful? You should summarize when…  you want to give an overview of a source's main ideas/points;  you can express a source's ideas or points in fewer words than the original text;  you need to give a brief synopsis of more than one source; or  you want an authority on the topic to support your ideas. Examples of Good and Bad Summaries Be careful when you summarize that you avoid stating your opinion or putting a particular bias on what you write. This point is important because the goal of a summary is to be as factual as possible. For example, here is an example of an inaccurate, opinion-laden summary about Pixar’s popular movie Finding Nemo: So there's a film where a man's wife is brutally murdered by a serial killer and his son is left physically disabled. In a twist of events, the son is kidnaped and kept in a tank while his father Created in 2015 2 chases the kidnapper thousands of miles with the help of a mentally challenged woman. Finding Nemo is quite the thriller. This example is a bad summary because it is very vague, and it contains the writer’s opinion as well as twists the events of the story into something it is not. Pixar’s Finding Nemo is not a thriller or a horror story like described above—it is an animated children’s movie about fish. Here is a better summary of Finding Nemo: Pixar’s Finding Nemo (2003) is a story about Marlin, a clownfish, who is overly cautious with his son, Nemo, who has a damaged fin. When Nemo swims too close to the surface to prove himself, he is caught by a diver, and horrified Marlin must set out to find him. A blue reef fish named Dory, who has a really short memory, joins Marlin and together they encounter sharks, jellyfish, and a host of ocean dangers. Meanwhile, Nemo plots his escape from a dentist's fish tank where he is being held. In the end, Marlin and his son Nemo are reunited, and they both learn about trust and what it means to be a family. (Finding Nemo, 2003) This paragraph is a better summary than the original one because:  it is accurate and factual;  it states the main characters and events of the story;  it gives the reader the crucial details without giving too many details; and  it tells the moral of the story/the conclusion without twisting the meaning. This summary is good because…  it states the author/director, the year, and the title of the work;  it is about 1/10 the length of the original passage;  it is clear and understandable to the reader;  it is void of any quotations or paraphrases, and it includes a parenthetical citation in correct APA format.

RELIGION
Introduction

We can describe religion as a cultural framework or structure of designated world views,
ethics, practices, or even entities that try to form a relationship with humanity to a transcendental
or a supernatural being. Different religions expect their followers to behave and act in a variety
of ways. Some may contain various elements such as divine, faith, sacred things or some form of
intimacy (Ducasse, 2014). Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Hindu are the most common types
of religions in the world. People of these faiths and other religions get distributed across the
world. However, some parts of the globe have a more concentration of a specific religion than
others. An example is the Middle East that has the majority of the people being Muslims while a
country like India has most of its citizens belonging to the Hindu community. Those people
whose religion get least represented in a region have been susceptible to discrimination.
Therefore, in my paper, I will highlight in details discrimination of Muslims in New Jersey both
from the etic and emic perspectives (Neusner, 2009).
PART 1
(From the etic perspective)
Having lived in New Jersey all my life, I can say that I am a real victim of discrimination
against religion. Even after moving to California, the memories of my childhood are still fresh in
my mind. It was not an easy life to soldier through the rough path of discrimination. It neither
knew nor age. During my time in elementary school, I had friends whom we got along well,
perhaps perfectly. I remember our friendship lasted for quite some time until one day they
referred to me as a terrorist. It was traumatizing. Even though the ...
