Task 4: Reflective writing II
Submission deadline: 4pm, 29th May 2017
The purpose of this assignment:
This is your chance to show what you have learnt and achieved in this paper, through writing which really reflects on your study and experience in this paper through class contact, your wider reading and through all of the previous assignments. It also gives you a chance to examine more deeply and analyse a particular theme from our study of culture and society that you think is important to highlight. In developing your writing, make sure you consider the instructions and the assessment criteria.
Instructions:
You will write a reflective piece of about 1200 words (no less than 1100, no more than 1350) in relation to a conceptual theme that you have found important in our study in this paper. The main theme is Human rights (women’s rights):
(You may build on the same theme as you had for your group work, or choose another theme, but if you choose one not covered in the paper, please check with your tutor first).
Using the theme you have chosen, please reflect on all of the following:
1. What this theme means conceptually, in relation to your understanding of the concepts of culture and society (Learning outcome 1)
2. How this theme relates to (or illustrates) issues of social and cultural diversity and change in today’s society (Learning outcome 2)
3. Why this theme is important in relation to your values, beliefs and identity and in relation to important human rights agreements, that you think should be considered and perhaps addressed by today’s society (and how) (Learning outcomes 3 & 4)
4. How you have seen this theme applied in relation to your own discipline’s approach to culture and society, and how you consider other disciplinary perspectives might deal with this differently (Learning outcome 5)
Please remember: Make sure your reflection includes reference to reading you have done in relation to the concepts.
Ensure your writing is in formal style, is fully proofread, and includes a list of references at the end.
Failure to provide a reference list will result in a D grade for this assessment.
