The theories of race
The post is of three assignments
1:Comparative Paper
Order Description
Prompt:
Each paper will apply a single theoretical idea from the theories of race (Racial Projects – Omi and Winnat).
Each comparative paper will start by posing a pointed question grounded in the theories of race. Students should make sure to quote and explicate a short passage from the referenced theoretical text in elaborating the question in the beginning of their paper. The paper will then continue by answering this question in terms of the historical materials presented in subsequent weeks. The conclusion will articulate a comparative response to the question posed, highlighting the similarities and differences between each case considered.
“Beyond economic class interests, what interests motivated white supremacist racial projects in conquest of the Southwest, Hawaii, and in the current “War on Terror.”
These racial projects are from the reading from Omi and Winat
The essay DOES NOT have to be comprehensive regarding theory. It is completely acceptable – indeed for most students recommended – to stick with a question rooted in a single theoretical idea. Less is more. I want you to show that you have really grappled with an aspect of the theory, and to carry through an analysis with precision and depth. This will be challenging with one idea, and nearly impossible for most students, given time and space constraints, if you try to incorporate several theoretical ideas.
More specifically, your paper should have five distinct sections which utilize the attached articles in their respective sections (the sections should have a header, but the essay should flow from into to conclusion):
Intro; = Omi and Winat Reading (In defining Racial Projects and their relation to the question)
Latin@ and Indigenous Racialization (Racialization of American Latin@s and American Indians); = Glenn Chapter 5
Whiteness and Asian Racialization (Expansion of Whiteness and theRacialization of Asian America); = Glenn Chapter 6
Muslim Racialization (Racialization of Muslims in the U.S. and the Terror Wars) =Jamal and Naber/ Saliata
Conclusion.
I have attached the articles that correspond to each of the sections,no other research in needed. These articles need to be cited in contextualizing each section, and in the discussion in its relation to the question.
Make sure that you are posing a clear analytic question in the introduction; that you are answering it in a pointed way in each historical section, providing ample evidence to support your analysis; and that you draw comparative generalizations across the four moments you have analyzed in your conclusion, pointing out similarities and differences across your cases.
Notes for Essay:
• Need a well developed Introduction
o Pose question in interesting way
o Connect question to the Racial Projects from Omi and Winat Reading
• Focused Essay
o With only relative history that connects to question and theory (the theory of racial projects from Omi & Winat)
• Can no just state facts, but need to discuss them
• Do not underestimate the differences
Need to go in depth analysis and differences
2:Differentiating between market structures
Order Description
Samsung.
Memory chips as the product line / industry.
You will apply important microeconomics concepts toward the competitive
strategies of an organization that operates in an industry of your choice
(This requires instructor approval of which organization to write about. Use
the instructor discussion thread. Do this earlier in the W4 [before
Friday]). You will evaluate the differences between market structures and
identify a group of competitive strategies consistent with the market
structure that best aligns with the market in which the organization
competes. You will assess how the market structure positively and negatively
affects the organization’s ability to earn an economic profit over time and
evaluate the effectiveness of the organization’s competitive strategies.
Select an industry. Identify an organization in that industry. Your selected
organization must be submitted for instructor approval — submit for
approval before Friday of W4.
Identify the market structure in which this organization competes. Clearly
indicate why the market structure was decided upon and how this market
structure differentiates from the other alternatives.
Describe the level of competition the organization will face. This is
dependent upon clearly identifying the correct market structure. [Make sure
to consult with the Colander text, and also the MJM Foodie vidoes].
Identify three or more competitive strategies of your choice that may be
used by the organization to maximize its profits over the long run. Evaluate
the effectiveness of these strategies in the market structure you
identified. Consider the following:
.Expected changes in supply and demand
.Price elasticity of demand
.Market structure
.Government regulations
Make recommendations related to the strategies the organization might
consider to maximize its profits and consider the following:
.
Cite the Colander text, MJM Foodie and a minimum of w published works,
referring to the company and its current or past performance, using APA.
