What are the details of our daily existence? What systems dominate our lives? What meanings can we make of our situation?

This social studies/humanities course will steal from various disciplines - including anthropology, critical theory, cultural studies, economics, futurology, history, philosophy, political science, psychology, and sociology - to help us make sense of our situation.

A major goal of the course will be to focus your attention on your own life. Together we will investigate major systems that create and rule our lives including capitalism, school, family, popular culture, and the US government. And we will figure out how to interpret our lives, and these systems, and the collision of our lives and these systems.

We will detour into the future and the past but our journey will be primarily contemporary.

HW 18 - Big Paper 1 Rough Draft

Revise your outline based on your triangle partners' suggestions. Then use it to write a rough draft of a big paper on some aspect of the digital-representational-experience.

This paper should be a mini-exhibition - 5 pages or more. Should include a clear and interesting thesis, 2-4 major arguments supporting the thesis, and cited evidence supporting the major arguments. Should also include brief sections on "Connections", "Opposing Viewpoints", and "Significance". Should include a works cited list.

Your revised draft will be graded using the Revised Social Studies Research Rubric for exhibitions at SOF. You can find it here to download.

The rough draft should be spell-checked, printed, read, edited, and then posted online by November 4th at 8:30am.
