As you read the above, track and take notes on the following key concepts:

For Memmi:
colonialism, colonizer, colonizer who rejects, colonizer who accepts, decolonilization,

usurpation, mutilations of the self, countermythology, assimilation, Nero complex, solidarity

of the vanquished, composite identity, false consciousness, defensive racism, the mark of the

plural.

For Fanon:
abandonment complex, collapse of corporeal schema, counterassimilation, cultural resistance,

disalienation, epidermal racial schema, massive psychoexistential complex, corporeal schema,

historico-racial schema.

The Memmi and Fanon readings introduce us to the phenemonology of how colonialism affects the

psyche of both colonizer and colonized. Allen and Hedges & Sacco explore the creation of

internal colonies in the US, dating from early (and continuing) efforts to colonize Native

Americans and African Americans, to internal colonies created currently as colonialism has

morphed into transitional capitalism, neoliberalism, or neocolonialism.

In Hedges & Sacco’s chapter on Camden, “days of seige,” we are confronted with what they call

a “zone of sacrifice,” a city and its inhabitants and ecosystem that have been experiencing a

“slow moving Katrina.” It is also a city affected by those who are wounded who reach out to

others who are wounded.

To prepare to write this essay, please reflect as you read it on what this portrait of Camden

has to do with psychology. Indeed, what does it do with your psychology. the situation in

Camden affects not only the structure of our psyche, but the contents of what is in our

conscious and what is in our unconscious.
In a 3 page essay, explore the question: What does Camden have to do with your psychology,

your psyche? Claim your own social location(s) vis-a-vis Camden and the themes Hedges & Sacco

Highlight. How do they affect the structure and content of your psyche?

“Wooden” is a large factory in Littlebury. Littlebury is a small town with a population of approximately 1,200 people. Wooden is the largest employer in the town. In Littlebury, everyone knows each other, as they are either related or friends. Wooden specializes in creating wooden objects from shaving and shaping logs. The factory takes in approximately 1,000 logs a day and operates on a 24/7 schedule. The activity generates an enormous amount of wood dust. There is dust at least an inch thick on all of the equipment, flat surfaces and ceiling rafters. There are some areas in which the dust could be as much as three inches thick.
Wood dust is a combustible material and, given the right circumstances (ignition source, amount of dust, etc.), can be explosive. Also, inhaling fine wood dust can create respiratory illnesses.
Employees have complained over the years about the dust, but the employer still has not created a method to frequently clean the factory. One day Karen, a co-worker, tells you that while she was operating her machine she noticed three quick sparks in the air near her work station. Karen informed her Section Manager about this incident, but the response was that she shouldn’t worry about it. She is now scared that the factory may explode at any moment.
Your Assignment
You are an employee at this factory. You have worked there for over 10 years and know everyone from the owner to the co-workers. This situation has you nervous as well, but you don’t know what to do because you do not want to get anyone in trouble. You decide to speak with several people at the factory.
K E Y P L A Y E R S
Jason Rhine, Safety Coordinator: “There is no way an explosion could occur. Everyone knows that wood dust is not explosive. Karen probably just saw some type of light reflection. Look, in order to ease your mind, I will schedule a major clean up of the facility next month. Just sit tight.”
Alex Riveria, Area Manager: “Do not make any trouble. A major clean-up of the entire facility will stop production for at least two days. Just clean your work area. I have been in this industry for over 30 years, I know a dangerous situation when I see it. Let the experts handle this.”
Karen Parse, Co-Worker: Please contact OSHA. You can make a complaint and they will investigate and handle it. I can’t call since I was just hired two weeks ago. I cannot make any waves, but you have been here long enough. You won’t have any problems. I am so scared because a plant back in my hometown exploded about two months ago because of wood dust. This is really dangerous!
Tony Lord, Owner: “You cannot prove that there is an explosion hazard here. You should only come to me when you know definitely that there is a safety issue. I will consider anything else as slander against me and my company. I do not take too well to disloyal employees.”
Y O U D E C I D E

final essay- interview two people a generation apart

You must interview two people a generation apart (15yrs min) and your research subjects must be outside of your own (either) race, class or gender. It’s up to you to construct a good qualitative interview/set of questions. The objective here is to find out a little bit about their background/lived experiences. You must include probing questions that reveal facts about their sexual pracitces/behavior/orientation and gender identity (race, class, religious identity, –are also welcome). Did they sometimes possess characteristics of an insider/outsider? For example, if you’re interviewing a self-identifying ‘queer Chicana’ – were they accepted in their community as Chicana but simultaneously rejected because of their queer identity—if so, how did they negotiate the complexities of their sexual identity within their community? —Open ended questions are sometimes a good way to go as it gives the interviewee freedom to voice and identify certain aspects of their own experiences that you might not have considered or that they feel/deem important to discuss or highlight. Most importantly – you need to adhere to ethics while interviewing at ALL TIMES– and let your interviewee know that they don’t have to answer any questions that they’re not comfortable answering in order to ensure a safe and respectful space (during the interview). From a generational perspective – how might these sexual experiences be the same or differ? It will be a comparative paper – but it’s also a good opportunity to connect with these interviewees and also exercise your qualitative research skills.

Essay – Gender, Sports, and Beauty

OVERVIEW
According to contemporary scholars, gender should be considered a social problem worthy of
sociological exploration and research (Connell 1983). Indeed, gender is regularly at the heart of
many current social issues ranging from health, sports, and advertising, to politics, popular
culture, and sex. Often these issues are presented in ways that make gender either highly visible
or completely invisible, even though we know that gender structures almost every aspect of our
behavior and institutions. In this easy, you will synthesize course content from two different
weeks in order to conduct an analysis of a current social issue and explain its relation to gender.
DETAILS
1. Select TWO different weeks from the second half of the course that you feel fit
together well and that you would like to think about and analyze. Regardless of the
weeks you choose, your analysis must be framed through the lens of gender. For
example, if you are interested in beauty and sexuality, your analysis should then focus
on “Gender, Beauty, and Sexuality.” If you are interested in sports and the body, then
your analysis should concentrate on “Gender, Sports, and the Body.”
2. After deciding on two topics, locate a current event/news story that illustrates both
aspects of what you will be analyzing. For example, if you are interested in “Gender,
Sexuality, and Politics,” then a news story about a well-known political sex scandal
would work well as a focus for your analysis.
Your essay must put forth an argument—something you assert in the essay and then illustrate
using course concepts, readings, and your current event/news story. Your essay should aim to
make connections between the readings and concepts from the two weeks (i.e., synthesis), and as
always, you must provide a full and complete explanation of the concepts you introduce in the
essay. Full and complete explanations utilize all of the resources at your disposal and illustrate a
mastery of the course content, lectures, and readings. Once finished, your essay should have
provided a sociological analysis of the current event/news story that helps readers make sense of
the phenomenon more clearly. In other words, your task is to explain the event using the
analytical tools gained in the course, while also showcasing your knowledge of relevant concepts
and readings.
CITATIONS
You must cite a minimum of three course readings in your paper, and one supplemental reading.
I will post a variety of supplemental readings on the MyRipon portal that you may use. If you
want to use a reading outside of course texts or those I post online, it must be approved by me
ahead of time (that is, before I grade your paper and see a reading I did not approve). The
supplemental readings I post will cover a range of topics and concepts introduced in lecture, and
2
will give you more resources for writing your papers. Better papers usually cite more than the
four minimum sources, as they are typically synthesizing additional course information. You
should cite lecture notes when a reading is not available for the concept you are trying to
support/explain. However, lecture notes do not count toward your four citation minimum. The
citation style should be ASA (American Sociological Association), and a link to the ASA Style

Philosophy Essay

When taking into consideration how I would respond in two possible cases in a zombie
outbreak, both involving a man about to murder his curable, zombie wife and children, my views
seemed to carry a bit of dispute. The first case consists of the man with a rifle, allowing you to
take the gun and kill the man slightly more indirectly. While the second scenario involves no
weapons, requiring you to very directly kill the man with your own hands. I think both of these
cases follow a direct correlation with the previously discussed trolley cases, in that the first case
allows you to pull a lever, killing one man and saving four, while still keeping a distance from
the situation. And in the second case, you are required to directly push a man off the bridge to
save four people. The difference between both cases seems to come down to direct and
indirectness. My view on the first case, in both the zombie and trolley scenarios, follows
utilitarianism, while the second case brings out a deontology view.
When it comes to personhood, it isn’t about whether I am seeing one person as more
important than another, but rather if I would find myself capable in the situation to have a direct
hand in choosing someone’s, anyone’s, death. In case one of the zombie situation, one must
make a more indirect choice. This scenario could allow for slightly greater rational thinking. If
it would be easy to kill the man with his gun, then really the only decision seems to be whether
more or less people die. This is where utilitarianism comes into play. It is an obvious utilitarian
choice to simply shoot the man because this creates greater happiness by saving more people (his
wife and children). Some may argue that the choice to just kill the man could end up not being
the best, or most pleasurable, option. Say if the man was actually on the verge of solving world
hunger, or if one of his children grows up to be a serial killer. Then the choice to kill the man
and save his family no longer maximizes happiness. This is when it comes down to rule
utilitarianism, stating that we can generally assume that saving more people is better than one. In
a quick decision, we cannot possibly assess every outcome, so the best decision is the one with
the most immediate happiness.
In the second zombie scenario, involving no weapons, my view seems to take a turn. If
needed to actually beat a man with my own hands, I don’t believe I would do it. This decision
clearly doesn’t follow utilitarianism, seeing as it really only has to do with my happiness of
avoiding beating a man. So, the choice seems to fall under deontology, most specifically the 2nd
formulation of the Categorical Imperative, stating to, “Act so as to treat humanity as an ends,
never as a mere means.” If I were to kill the man, it would just be to save his family, and thus
would be treating him as a mere means to get to a goal. I obviously would not want to kill the
man, so it would not be my goal, or an end. This would be wrong from a deontologist point of
view. The right decision would be to avoid treating anyone as a means completely, that being to
not kill the man, just to save his family. But this seems to end with all the wrong consequences.
This act results in an entire dead family, and one grieving old man. I completely agree that this
is the wrong result. While I don’t believe I could brutally kill the man, I do think that it would
end up being the wrong choice not to do so.
Clearly, sometimes consequences matter. In my mind, both cases should end in killing
the man to save more people, but that doesn’t mean that I could do so myself. Yes, utilitarianism
may seem to be the right answer in both scenarios, but that doesn’t mean we have to follow it.
Morality isn’t always easy.

• First item on the list is what position the essay you read defends

• Second, the reasons you see offered in favor of that position

• Third, the objection to that position

• Finally, the response to the objection.

You should then assess the argument for clarity, completeness, and whether it is compelling.

• Clarity: Did you understand it? Was any of it unclear? Were there grammatical errors (significant or insignificant)? How many times did you have to read it to understand it.

• Completeness: Did they do everything the essay asks them to do (i.e. does your list have all four of those items)? What is missing? Are things out of order? (Do they have their support reasons after their objection?)

• Compelling: Did you find the argument convincing? Did they offer a strong objection or a weak one? Were their reasons (in defense of their view and in response to the objection) good, strong, interesting?
