Description

Section 3: The final section continues an analysis of the culture and conflict theme of your project, but develops an angle of policy recommendation.Given the group and problem as you see it from your research, what do you think should be done? What approaches should the government and international community take in regards to resolving the conflict? You may consider solutions that have been used elsewhere. Be explicit. Cite your sources. Be sure to reflect on your previous sections in this final section as you wrap up the project, and continue to reflect explicitly on our course material.  Connect your group with the subject matter of the class.

 

1. Please follow the format section of the project instructions, and make use of the comments and feedback I have supplied on your first two sections.

 

2. The final section of your paper should tie together your paper by drawing together the themes of conflict you have been developing.

 

3. The final section picks up on the analysis of the conflict theme you began in Section II, but develops an angle of policy recommendation. Given the group you are researching and the problem they are facing (or faced) as you have developed it in your project, what do you think should be done to resolve the conflict?

 

4. What approaches should the national government and international community take in regards to resolving the conflict? You may choose to offer some broad and idealistic resolutions, but also address solutions that could likely be implemented, given some pressure from governing bodies. Please offer some specific solutions. Be precise with your recommendations. Are there any precedents for your policies? Cite other solutions and sources—this strengthens your argument.

 

5. Make sure that you continue to set your discussion and recommendations into the context of the course—this means that you explicitly use our course material as a way to compare/contrast, bring focus, and in general make a stronger argument for your recommendations. You must cite the course material (for instance Maybury-Lewis, Koltyk, videos we have watched, etc.) as you do this. Show the sources for this comparative angle. Choose material that links well with your topic.

 

 

Project Topics: You may choose one indigenous or ethnic group (not a religious order, sect or cult), and learn about that group’s culture, history and conflicts. (i.e. Lakota, Sarayaku, Maori).  You may discuss two closely related indigenous groups (i.e. Pomo and Miwok).  You may choose a geographical area, and learn about the indigenous groups / ethnic groups in that area, their history and their conflicts.* (i.e. Tibet; Somalia; Belgium).

 

 

Information Sources:

Internet resources: An excellent place to start is Cultural Survival’s home page: www.cs.org. You can also use the International Work Group on Indigenous Affairs’ website: www.iwgia.org, and Survival International: www.survival-international.org. Remember that these resources should be used as supplements to the above sources. Do not rely solely or mainly on web sources.

 

 

Instructions for the Project:Each section of the project is a short paper, in essay format, with a references cited page. Please use APA style for citations and references in your research paper. Papers should be typed, double-spaced, with pages numbered. Use Times New Roman, size 12 font. Only papers printed in black ink will be accepted. Please staple together pages, and please include a cover sheet (put your name and section number in the top right hand corner of the first page). Do not place your papers in folders or covers.

FormatIn all of the writing about your chosen topic, you must cite your sources in-text.  You should make reference to bibliographic material and course readings in the body of your paper. When quoting directly be sure to use quotation marks to indicate this. Even when you have paraphrased someone else’s material, and do not use quotation marks, you must cite the author you are paraphrasing. References should be placed in the body of the text, in parentheses, like this: (Gilmore 1992:105). This indicates the page number for the material you used. Web addresses (urls) should not appear in the body of the paper—use an author if you have one and a title if you do not. Your own thoughts and examples should be used to draw the readings together in a fresh and coherent fashion.All sections should include a “References Cited” section, which will expand with each phase of the project. Please include this with each section, so that you will show references cited for the current section, and on a separate page, the references you have used previously. Each section should draw on at least 3 references. In the end you should have used 9-10 different sources, with only a total of 2-3 of them from website material or non-academic magazines (Newsweek, etc.).
