This assignment asks that you write a research paper on “cultural appropriation : cultural appreciation.”
You should identify two specific incidents where you think it represents cultural appropriation and the other is cultural appreciation.
Use the ideas you learned to discuss what is terribly wrong with what was done, or what was done sensitively, respectfully toward other culture.
You should look for at least two articles from Proquest and two from JSTOR to help you address the examples of your choice. You may find more.
In the introductory paragraph, define cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation and briefly give the backgrounds of the examples of that you have selected. You should also have a thesis, the last sentences, in your introductory paragraph.
Your thesis should include the four ideas you want to discuss, two on cultural appropriation, and two on cultural appreciation, plus a personal comment. You should be able to find the themes at the bottom of this site: https://bust.com/style/193076-cultural-appropriation-vs-appreciation.html (Links to an external site.)
The remaining parts of your essay is your chance to provide break down the example into four specific parts to discuss, using an example to explain two ideas about cultural appropriation, and the second example to explain two ideas about cultural appreciation.
Do not stray from the topic and thesis; rather, conduct your discussion in such a way where it expands on your thesis. You should follow the topic paragraph structure we have worked on all semester: topic sentence, textual supports and commentaries.
As this is the major research paper, you should also have a Citation Page. The citation page must follow the MLA format and it should have at least seven citations, two of which must be from Proquest, and two from JSTOR. The other three are from sources of your choice.
