Paper on the Great American Dumb Down/ Citizen ship crisis. How Americans have become ignorant to knowledge due to google, social media, laziness, etc. The Dumbest Generation, Bauerlein (2008) is the book that attempts to prove this need quotes from that book and 5 expert sources.
The rubric:
The position paper, a 8-10 page paper (with at least 5 expert sources), uses the readings and lectures in the controversy to make any relevant argument you would like. Ultimately, these papers should feature a single, overall argument and use credible evidence to back it up. This is not a paper where you summarize a reading or detail a historical event. Put simply, you have total freedom to make any argument relevant to the reading, but you must make it clear and support it thoroughly and carefully.
Use Graff and Birkenstein’s advice from They Say/I Say (in COMM 280) to help formulate and structure your paper. You can respond to the controversy, or to a single idea in the controversy, by 1. Agreeing with a difference or 2. Disagreeing and explaining why or 3. Agreeing and disagreeing simultaneously. Here are a few specific ways you might write a paper using the course readings relevant to that citizenship crisis. These are just suggestions, not limitations:
Agree with one of the authors but update his/her views to our current context or apply his/her views to an area not discussed in the reading.
Disagree with any important aspect of the reading and explain why.
Build your own theory or explanation related to that particular crisis in citizenship.
Exploring the importance of a historical period or theory briefly discussed in the readings more fully.
(I have a model paper that i can send to help show more/ give ideas)
