   Your Partial Rough Draft must include:

  • An introductory paragraph containing a thesis statement that reflects the requirements of the Final Research Paper.
  • A discussion of how two specific and contemporary (currently existing) cultures approach the topic.
  • A comparison of your chosen topic across the two cultures you have selected.
  • A concluding paragraph that reinforces your thesis and summarizes your main points.
  • A bibliography that includes entries for each scholarly source you will use in your Final Research Paper.
  • In-text citations that show where you will use your source sin you Final Research Paper.
    
    

  As a reminder, your Final Research Paper will be a five- to seven-page research paper that contains the following components:

  1. A discussion of how two cultures (other than your own) approach the topic, including specific ethnographic examples. Be sure to choose two specific and contemporary (currently existing) cultures. Terms such as European, Asian, or African refer to continents, not cultures, and are not appropriate for this paper. Describe the culture briefly, including elements such as location, language, kinship, or other relevant information. This helps the reader understand the cultural context of your topic.
  2. A compare and contrast analysis how the two cultures approach the topic from a culturally relativistic perspective.
  3. A discussion on the cultural context of the topic and how it relates to symbolic systems such as religion, communication, or ritual. Here, you can use what you described in section A and discuss how it relates to your topic as it is found in the two cultures, which you discussed in section B.

  The Partial Rough Draft must be three to four pages in length, excluding the title page, and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least three scholarly sources from the Ashford University Library to support your claims. Cite your sources within the text of your paper and in your annotated bibliography. For information regarding APA, including samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, located within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar.rnative gender roles
