Essay/Research Paper Instructions:
Write a five (5) to seven (7) page, typed, double-spaced essay on one of the topics below. The objective of this assignment is to give you an opportunity to practice applying the theory from this course to an analysis. This paper may require outside research, as it is important to survey the ideas of others with regard to the topic you have chosen to discuss. However, you must also situate yourself with relation to the questions. We want to know what you think, how you have made sense of the materials and the question on which you have chosen to write, and, of course, your ideas and opinions, albeit your ideas and opinions as informed by a critical and theoretical perspective. Remember that you must maintain your focus on your chosen topic throughout your paper.
Papers may be as creative as you wish, provided they explicitly answer the question and fulfill the requirements of this assignment. Be sure to be clear in your writing, to use proper APA citation practices, and to proofread your work carefully before you submit it.
Read each question carefully. Be sure you know what the question you have chosen to answer has asked of you.
Your grade will reflect presentation (including spelling, etc.), coherence and focus, clarity of exposition, your thoughts and ideas, as well as your selection of materials to discuss and your critical/theoretical reading of them. We will also be looking at your thesis statement and your ability to sustain an argument throughout the paper, along with your ability to introduce and conclude the argument. These criteria also apply to the questions that ask for more creative submissions. Be sure not to lose the theoretical focus of this course and assignment in writing your paper.
Choose ONE of the following topics/questions:
1. Write an essay applying the work of Habermas to the Occupy Wall Street movement. Be careful to outline not only what the movement is about, but also its procedures and objectives. Be sure to research its (recent) history, how it has been perceived and how it has responded to it detractors. Do not assume that your reader has the same understanding of what the movement is. To this end, provide a brief paragraph near the beginning of your paper outlining what the OCCUPY movement is. What do you think Habermas would say about this movement and its relationship to the new public sphere? What (new) means does it utilize? What role do electronic communications play in its formation and organization? What other forms of communication does it employ? Does it constitute a "new public sphere"? Feel free to include a discussion of Nancy Fraser’s critique of Habermas in your essay.
