In this posting, we are going to examine how we look (and think) about bodies, specifically women’s bodies. Though males participate in beauty ideals and disciplinary “beauty” practices, women are more objectified in our culture and held up to beauty standards much more strictly than males so we are focusing more on the female form here. I would like for you to do either of the following:

A. Interview a woman about her body

B. If you are female, answer questions about your own body image (if you are not comfortable talking about yourself, then please interview another woman).

You will then share your information in our discussion posting. Using Miss Representation as your guide and the essays, you are to reflect on the way images of age, race and gender in the media are reflected in what these women (or yourself) say. Some questions to consider for the interview and subsequent discussion:

Do (you) women have a beauty ideal? What kind of disciplinary beauty practices do (you) women participate in? How does fashion operate in women’s lives? What happens if women ignore fashion? What is the relationship between fashion and gender? Do (you) women see their bodies as sources as despair or empowerment? Is there a part of (your) her body that (you) she has a problem with and would like to change? How do (you) women actively challenge or contribute to popular ideas of beauty (do they adhere to a certain standard)? What do (you) women believe their bodies say about themselves? Do (you) they want to change their bodies? Do (you) they want to change the message that they may receive? How important is (your) the woman’s mobility and/or disability to her understanding of herself? How might (you) women resist these “beauty” ideals?

The UCR is the official data collection method for reporting crimes known to the police or to the FBI for inclusion in the official crime stats. The NCVS is a survey method to collect data by asking a representative sample of the population about whether they have been the victims of crime.

•How does the information collected vary in terms of crime rates between UCR and NCVS?
•How are they similar?
•If differences exist, what accounts for the differences?

1. Respond to the following question, or a question that is logically similar to it (if it is very different, clear it with instructor); your clear and defensible response to it will be your thesis:
a. What is the meaning of life?

2. Present at least two arguments for your position and demonstrate your understanding of some main points and arguments of at least three of the readings we’ve read in the course.

3. Word minimum: 3000 words. Word maximum: 4000 words.

4. Make sure you have a clearly stated thesis that begins with the words “In this paper I will argue that . . .” and that appears in the first paragraph of the paper. The thesis should contain a normative claim.

5. Reference any ideas you use from other sources, and make sure you properly cite all works consulted.

6. Consider one or more alternative analyses/interpretations to at least one aspect of the position you take. Respond to any alternative approach by explaining why you think it is the wrong approach, or allow that some part, or all, of the approach is correct and give reasons why.

7. Use your own words, except where explicitly quoted and/or referenced. Failure to do this could result in a zero for the assignment (see syllabus for definitions and consequences of plagiarism).

8. Use Times New Roman, 12 point font, double spaced. Insert page numbers, preferably on the bottom right of the page. Do not right justify.

9. Proofread carefully for typos of grammar, punctuation, spelling, and awkward or unclear sentences. These are common errors of haste that can make reading your work difficult and will affect your grade. Use complete sentences. Proofread your work several times carefully. Omit needless words. (This webpage is an invaluable source of good writing style; reading or at least consulting it will be of great benefit to you.)

10. It will be assumed that you have read and understood the course text Writing Philosophy by Lewis Vaughn. Follow the guidelines provided in this book in writing your paper, as well as the ten criteria from the Paper Rubric on Moodle.

11. Format your paper according to Appendix A of the Vaughn book, (though do not use a title page) and document according to Appendix B. Other methods of citing sources are acceptable, though consult instructor to be sure.

Step by step:

1) Download this document to your desktop, class folder, or other location on your computer. Put your name and date at the top where indicated and delete all instructions.
2) Name the file according to this model (where you put your last name and first name in place of the model words):

FA_Lastname_Firstname_225_Summer_1_2015.doc

3) Type paper into this document and SAVE.
4) Upload your document using the UPLOAD FA panel on the Moodle course page. Convert to Word .doc, .docx, or .rtf file. (i.e., I will not be able to open wpd, wps, or other file types; if you use of one these your paper may be considered late.)
5) Good luck!
