Writing Assignment #2
The Six-Source Essay:
Expanded Synthesis
Summary of assignment
•
•
•
•
Task: The six-source essay asks you to synthesize the arguments of six sources
Length: Minimum of 1300 words. The instructor will give you comments on the first
draft and let you know if you need more development beyond 1300 words.
Format: APA
Sources: A total of six sources, all of which you will find through library searches.
Please use the same topic that you used for writing assignment #1. You will continue with
the topic you have selected and will conduct additional searches in the library databases,
hopefully focus the topic more, and determine the six or more sources to use in this essay.
o Please use only six sources. Please do not incorporate more than six sources into
this essay.
Articles to Use for the Essay
For this essay, you will select at least six articles on a topic of your choice. The articles should
be on the same topic but feature different perspectives, research methods, opinions, or
conclusions about some aspects of the topic.
For example, if you are majoring in cybersecurity, you might locate six articles about the need
for improved training for employees on mobile security issues. The six articles might take
different angles on the topic. The articles might disagree on certain points, possibly disagreeing
on the need for more employee training in this area, how to train employees in this area, or when
to integrate training during an employee’s tenure.
To use another example, if you are majoring in criminal justice, you might locate six articles on
the CSI Effect. The articles should take different perspectives on the topic. Perhaps three of four
of them will say that the CSI Effect exists and one or two will argue that it does not exist. Or
perhaps all agree that it exists but they all take slightly different approaches to addressing the
problem. Perhaps some were qualitative research studies, others were quantitative research
studies, and others were mixed-methods research studies.
Overall, try to determine categories of themes into which you can divide your six articles.
You are strongly encouraged to write on the same topic on which you wrote writing assignment
#1. You can simply expand on that topic for writing assignment #2. Please communicate with
the professor if you are considering any significant changes in your topic.
Point of view
For this essay, you will use third-person point of view.
Please do not use first person point of view (e.g., “I,” “me,” “we”) in writing this essay.
In addition, please do not use second-person point of view (“you” or “your”) in writing this
essay. For example, instead of “Smith argues that, as a director, you have a duty to coordinate
cybersecurity efforts...” you would write, “Smith argues that directors have a duty to coordinate
cybersecurity efforts…”
APA Style
The paper should be formatted in APA style. The link "APA 7th edition example student
paper" from Week 3 will be a helpful resource. In summary, you should observe the
following:
• Use one-inch margins.
Double space.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Use size 12 Times New Roman font.
Include a running head.
Include page numbers.
Include a title page.
Include a “References” page on which you list the articles in APA style
Do not include an abstract. This paper is not long enough to warrant an abstract.
Submitting the assignment:
You will submit a first draft of the essay to the assignment folder. The first draft will not be
graded. The instructor will provide comments to it.
After receiving comments from the instructor, you will submit a revised draft. The final draft
will be graded.

ENG 2205 Ashford University The Ramayana Journal
Write a minmum of a five-sentence paragraph addressing one of the prompts in MLA format on either Beowulf or The Ramayana.
Prompt ideas for Beowulf are as follows:
Using Beowulf as a paradigm for the heroic epic, which three elements strike you as the most characteristic or vital? Which of these would be most effectively expressed through character consciousness and which through a poetic or narrative consciousness?
Many of the poem’s defining features are derived from long-standing traditions of oral narrative. In contrast, what do you consider particularly “literary,” “written,” or “composed” about Beowulf?
Recall a challenge Beowulf faced that did not directly involve a monstrous enemy. How did this occurrence, presented as part of the linear narrative embedded within it, complement Beowulf’s heroic progress?
If you choose to write about The Ramayana, the following is the prompt to address in the journal:
From The Ramayana,
Define the role of dharma in connection to Rama's journey. Identify the elements of mysticism and metaphysics that help define Rama's piety. Who is his most important guide along the way in helping him make his decisions from your perspective and why is this so important in defining his role in the epic?

ASSESSMENT 2 CONTEXT
Theories About Gender and CommunicationAccording to Fixmer-Oraiz and Wood, a theory is a "way to describe, explain, and predict relationships among phenomena" (Fixmer-Oraiz & Wood, 2019, p. 34). Specifically, theories help make sense of the world around us. "Although we are not always aware of the theories we hold, they still shape how we act and how we expect others to act" (Fixmer-Oraiz & Wood, 2019, p. 34). Moreover, theories are a practical way of explaining what goes on around us, and although we sometimes believe theories are removed from the real world, they are directly connected to our everyday actions (Fixmer-Oraiz & Wood, 2019). It is important to remember the following:
A theory represents a particular viewpoint as an attempt to understand phenomena.
A theory offers more than explanations; it also influences attitudes and behaviors.
One theory should not be considered the theory on gender development; multiple theories work together to create a fuller picture.
The study of theoretical approaches to gender development and communication has been on the focus of researchers for many years. Before we can truly understand how males and females communicate, we must understand why we communicate a certain way. To do this we must study the theoretical approaches to gender development and communication.Specifically, gender is a social construct shaped by a number of social characteristics, larger normative expectations, personal experiences, and socializations. As communicators we must recognize the power of language and communication. We must understand why we use this to perceive, judge, and evaluate others.Communication Style Theories
Following are some of the main theories that help us better understand the why behind our communication styles:Symbolic Interaction Theory
Symbolic interaction theory helps us negotiate and define a situation. It helps us understand questions such as the following:
Who am I?
What should I do?
What can I expect from you?
What does this behavior mean?
The symbolic interaction theory suggests that cultural definitions of gender follow us into the workplace, along with specific value placed on "masculine" versus "feminine" behaviors. It suggests that, because you must interpret a new situation based on previous experience, you may have to "feel uncomfortable" to create the perception that is important to you. This discomfort comes from breaking social norms, that is, you are requiring others to actively negotiate a new definition of the situation.Performative Theory
The performative theory suggests that gender is an expression of identity. Language and how we communicate are part of how we perform this identity. It suggests that we are always engaged in a collaborative performance: male and female define each other. This may speak to the important boundaries we enforce culturally. We call this essentializing, where we assume a dichotomy between men and women. In this experience, gender is a lies on a continuum; it is neither a "he" nor "she." The performative theory suggests that we can create and support performances to provoke change to socially constructed categories of gender expectations. Routine performances are more important than dramatic departures if change is desired. Heed this word of caution: We are wired to protect self (self-esteem). Change can be seen as threat to our definition of self. Communicate accordingly.Standpoint Theory
This theory suggests that social location is culturally assigned. You experience society through the lens of the membership groups and the social locations you occupy. Critical evaluation of this location leads to a standpoint. In other words, a feminist perspective does not mean that only "women can understand women." Members of the majority group (the powerful) have a vested interest in preserving the existing hierarchy and their place in it. As a result, views of social life may be more distorted. There may be a deep need to protect definition of self. Those in subordinate groups must understand their own perspectives to survive. They may also have a clearer view of the network due to outsider status. The standpoint theory holds that you must invest time in understanding the power structure you work in. You will need the support of others seeking to change the communication dynamic in your workgroups.References
