This part of the final project is a summary of your ongoing work on the final paper; it should include three paragraphs, one covering each selected work. You should also make sure to re-state what your subject is.
Identify how the subject you chose in Part 1 appears in three different examples, each from a different Humanities discipline (visual art, music, dance, poetry, prose, theater, film, religion). For instance, you could choose a poem, a painting and a scene from a film, all of which express and represent the theme of anger. Or, to be even more specific, if you choose the emotion of “love,” the final paper could analyze and discuss love as it is expressed in Shakespeare’s Sonnet 147 (literature), Boticelli’s Birth of Venus (visual art), and in the ballet Swan Lake (dance).
Write one short paragraph (3-5 sentences) about each of your selections in which you:
Identify a reliable and appropriate example (a good-quality image, recording, video, etc.).
Identify and cite the source, including the artist, creator etc. as well as where you found the example.
Explain why you find the example relevant for this assignment.
Identify one tool, concept or method from the Learning Resources you might be able to use to talk about it.
STOP: Before you hand in your assignment, make sure to ask yourself the following questions:
Have I chosen three examples from three different fields of the Humanities?
Are each of the examples I chose specific, reliable, appropriate, relevant to my topic?
Have I offered an explanation for each example that offers a reason for including it?
Have I provided a specific and appropriate interpretative tool, concept or method that I will likely use to interpret each example?
Have I provided a list of resources and do all of my citations conform to MLA 8th edition guidelines?
Have I proofread this assignment for grammatical, structural, and spelling errors that might impede someone from understanding what I am trying to say?
All three examples are specific, reliable, appropriate, relevant and chosen from three different fields of the Humanities.
My Topic Selection
The topic that I choose to research is social inequality. I choose this because this is one of the most prominent issues in out country today. I also found it interesting that countries with lower levels of social inequality have more efficient economic performance and human development, as well as stronger structured political institutions. I would like to explore why we have such a high level of social inequality, and how, if possible, can we reverse this issue.
