Using any terms and concepts from Schaeffer Chapters 5-6 only, and following the essay rules from the syllabus as outlined below, answer the following questions: Over the last year, we have witnessed very large protests over the development of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) at the Standing Rock reservation. Explain how this large scale protest reflects the important historical movement from specific ethnic group identities such as “Hopi”, “Navajo”, or “Cherokee” for example, to the more socially constructed pan-ethnic political grouping of “Native Americans”.
1) The essay will entail your applying sociological terms and concepts to a current event.
2) You are required to cite sociological terms and concepts using only direct quotes with quotation marks and page numbers from the Schaeffer text.
3) You may research the topic online, however, internet sources are not allowed to be referenced or cited, nor are any other outside sources. Schaeffer only.
4) The paper must be submitted to SafeAssign via Blackboard. The SafeAssign program detects plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty (see Academic Dishonesty Statement in the syllabus).
5) To receive full credit, the essay must be a minimum of 2 full pages of text. This means the title page and the reference page DO NOT COUNT. Failure to meet the 2 page minimum will result in a 1-letter grade reduction for every page you are short (i.e. 1.99-1 pages is one letter grade, .99-.01 pages two letter grades.)
6) Essays will be penalized 20% for every 24 hours they are late starting at the time due, on the due date below. This means a paper turned in 1 minute late is reduced the same as a paper turned in 23 hours and 59 minutes late.
7) Font must be double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-pitch, one inch margins all around and left-justified only.
8) There must be a title page and the first page of text must begin at the very top of page one---neither headers nor footers, such as a running head or last name, are allowed.
9) Failure to follow any (no matter how trivial) of these rules will result in your paper receiving no better than a C- (70%) grade, prior to actual grading for content and style.
Grading Rubric: Use/application of sociological terms/concepts (70%), following all directions (20%), cleanliness/typographical/grammatical/spelling professionalism (10%)
DUE: Submitted to Blackboard on or before October 18th at 12:00pm.
