No works cited! Censorship vs. Free Speech and Artistic Freedom TOPIC: LENGTH: 1000 words minimum, 1250 maximum VALUE: 500 POINTS OBJECTIVE: Evaluating and Engaging in Argument DUE: 10/16 - PEER REVIEW (bring in 2 typed copies of draft) Failure to participate will result in a 25 point deduction from paper grade. 10/18 - FINAL DRAFT DUE Late papers marked down 1 full letter grade, 50 points, and not accepted after 10/25. FORMAT: An introductory paragraph with a clearly stated thesis; body paragraphs developing and supporting an argument with your analysis of Kinsley's and Ehrenreich's arguments as well as your own reasons, evidence, examples, analogies, and experience, with a concluding paragraph that brings closure to your argument. Use MLA citations when quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing the two articles. PROMPT: Examine the arguments for and against censoring Ice-T's “Cop Killer." Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the two positions, then take a stand. Should songs like this be protected as free speech and artistic freedom, or should they be banned because they advocate violent and illegal acts? Consider the fact that freedom of expression is one of the great benchmarks of democracy, built into the Constitution as the First Amendment which reads: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Most Americans support and many enjoy this unparalleled freedom. But with it, of course, is the potential for abuse by individuals or groups with their own causes and agendas. So a question naturally arises: Where do we draw the line? Should the cloak of democracy protect that as well? Your job is to decide where to draw or not draw the line. Please do NOT address whether children and teens should be shielded from songs like “Cop Killer.” That is a given. Focus on our society in general. GRADING: Based on the soundness of your argument and analysis, the quality of your support, and the eloquence of your prose. Good luck! Ice-T is the Issue Social Responsibility. - Michael Kinsley ..Or Is It creative Freedom? - Barbara Ehrenreich INTEGRATING SOURCE MATERIAL INTO YOUR ESSAY USING MLA CITATIONS 1. ALWAYS REFER TO A PUBLISHED SOURCE IN THE PRESENT TENSE. 2. WHEN FIRST INTRODUCING A SOURCE IN YOUR ESSAY, INCLUDE THE TITLE OF THE SOURCE AND THE AUTHOR'S FULL NAME. EXAMPLE: In the article, "Ice-T: Is the Issue Social Responsibility..." author Michael Kinsley calls Time Warner's defense of its decision to release "Cop Killer" by Ice-T "contradictory” (183). 3. After this, you need only refer to the author by last name: Criticizing the message of this controversial rap song, Kinsley states, “If Cop Killer has a message, it is that the murder of policemen is a justified response to police brutality" (183). Please note that the period goes outside of the quotation. 4. When not mentioning the author's name in a signal phrase, then place it in the parenthetical citation: He goes on to say sarcastically, “Killing policemen is a good thing” (Kinsley 183). 5. Please note that quotation marks always indicate that the words and/or sentences within are exactly the same as the words and/or sentences found in the source. Never change any words when quoting! There are only two tools that allow you to alter quotations: [Brackets - to insert your own word or phrase for clarity] or Ellipses to remove an unnecessary portion of the quotation that might not apply to the purpose of your essay or for the sake of creating brevity. Even if you find an error such as a misspelling or diction mistake, you must not change it, but instead follow it with [sic] which is a Latin abbreviation which means “error noted. For example: If you found “policeman” misspelled, here's what you would do: He goes on to say sarcastically, “Killing polisemen [sic] is a good thing” (Kinsley 183). Please note that you do not have to use ellipses if you open a quotation in the middle of one of the source's sentences: Incorrect: Kinsley is obviously being sarcastic when he says that gunning down cops is a good thing” (183). 6 Correct: Kinsley is obviously being sarcastic when he says that gunning down cops “is a good thing” (183). 6. Paraphrasing source material also requires parenthetical citations: Kinsley acknowledges that Ice-T has the right to free speech but argues that it should still be the record company's decision whether to give him the means to do it (184). OR While he acknowledges that Ice-T has the right to practice free speech, he argues that it should still be the record company's decision whether to give him the means to do it (Kinsley 184). Again, please note that the period goes after the parenthetical citation. 7. If you wish to quote someone that the author quotes, you must use “qtd. in” in the parenthetical citation: About the public's misperception of "Cop Killer,” Time Warner co-CEO Gerald Levin states, “It doesn't incite or glorify violence..." (qtd. in Kinsley 183). 8. If you wish to quote a sentence that has a quotation within it, change the double quotation marks to single quotation marks: Source, p. 185: Ollie North's Freedom Alliance has started a petition drive aimed at bringing Time Warner executives to trial for “sedition and anarchy. Your paper: Ehrenreich reveals, “Ollie North's Freedom Alliance has started a petition drive aimed at bringing Time Warner executives to trial for ‘sedition and anarchy" (185). 9. ALL PARAPHRASES MUST BE WRITTEN IN YOUR OWN WORDS. It is not sufficient to change merely a word or two by putting in synonyms. This is plagiarism even when the source is cited. Example of a plagiarized paraphrase: Of course Ice-T has the right to say whatever he desires, the author argues, but that doesn't necessitate any company to give him an outlet (Kinsley 184). See #6 above for an acceptable paraphrase that does not merely replace a few key words with synonyms. Try to restructure the sentence structure of your paraphrase, but be careful not to change the author's intended meaning.
