Description
Be sure you have completed and submitted the Thesis Statement and Outline Assignment before completing this one. That assignment had you create an outline with your plan to write your introduction, body, and conclusion paragraphs for your Space/Place Analysis.
Assignment Resources:
• Space Place Analysis Assignment Sheet.pdf 0 Remember, for this project you are analyzing the connections between your chosen topic (Identity, Access, Culture, Diversity, Inclusion, or Community) and the spaces/places you occupy.
Assignment Instructions:
1. Using Methodist’s Davis Memorial Library website, find one source you can use in your Writing Project #1 to provide support for your topic. This source can be a book, article, periodical, video, etc. The Using Library Resources webpage will help you find sources.
2. In a Word document, start with your APA-style title page for this assignment. Include your title, name, course name, instructor name, and date. (See the Research and APA Style Powerpoint slide 18).
3. Read/view your library source, take any notes, then answer the following questions on the second page of your document:
4. Refer to your Thesis Statement and Outline Assignment and choose one of your main topics in which you can incorporate your source. Next, you will write ONE BODY PARAGRAPH from your space/place analysis (due M 11/7). (You are not writing the entire essay, just one paragraph.)
– Your paragraph must use textual evidence or information from the library SOURCE. In your paragraph, you must provide 2 DIRECT QUOTES from the source. (Remember the ICE Method when using quotations. – Introduce, “insert quote”, Cite, & Explain. (See Applying Information From Sources for more information on using sources.)
– Remember, overall, each body paragraph of your final paper should discuss 1 MAIN POINT related to your topic (Identity, Access, Culture, Diversity, Inclusion, or Community). As in my example 1, my topic is DIVERSITY and my 3 main points are virtual spaces, physical artifacts, and personal interactions. When writing my body paragraph, I should only talk about one of those main points. When writing the rest of my essay, I will create separate paragraphs for the other 2 main points.
5. After typing your body paragraph, create your APA Reference page. On this page, list the correct APA entry for your library source. (See the Research and APA Style 7th Edition Powerpoint, slides 21, 33 for more information.)

Don’t blame the eater; the connection between fast food and obese kids
Zinczenko, David. The New York Times 152 (23 November 2002): A3
If ever there were a newspaper headline custom-made for Jay Leno’s monologue, this was it. Kids taking on McDonald’s this week, suing the company for making them fat. Isn’t that like middle-aged men suing Porsche for making them get speeding tickets? Whatever happened to personal responsibility? (1)
I tend to sympathize with these portly fast-food patrons, though. Maybe that’s because I used to be one of them. (2)
I grew up as a typical mid-1980’s latchkey kid. My parents were split up, my dad off trying to rebuild his life, my mom working long hours to make the monthly bills. Lunch and dinner, for me, was a daily choice between McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken or Pizza Hut. Then as now, these were the only available options for an American kid to get an affordable meal. By age 15, I had packed 212 pounds of torpid teenage tallow on my once lanky 5-foot-10 frame. (3)
Then I got lucky. I went to college, joined the Navy Reserves and got involved with a health magazine. I learned how to manage my diet. But most of the teenagers who live, as I once did, on a fast-food diet won’t turn their lives around: They’ve crossed under the golden arches to a likely fate of lifetime obesity. And the problem isn’t just theirs — it’s all of ours. (4)
Before 1994, diabetes in children was generally caused by a genetic disorder — only about 5 percent of childhood cases were obesity-related, or Type 2, diabetes. Today, according to the National Institutes of Health, Type 2 diabetes accounts for at least 30 percent of all new childhood cases of diabetes in this country. (5)
Not surprisingly, money spent to treat diabetes has skyrocketed, too. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that diabetes accounted for $2.6 billion in health care costs in 1969. Today’s number is an unbelievable $100 billion a year. (6)
Shouldn’t we know better than to eat two meals a day in fast-food restaurants? That’s one argument. But where, exactly, are consumers — particularly teenagers — supposed to find alternatives? Drive down any thoroughfare in America, and I guarantee you’ll see one of our country’s more than 13,000 McDonald’s restaurants. Now, drive back up the block and try to find someplace to buy a grapefruit. (7)
Complicating the lack of alternatives is the lack of information about what, exactly, we’re consuming. There are no calorie information charts on fast-food packaging, the way there are on grocery items. Advertisements don’t carry warning labels the way tobacco ads do. Prepared foods aren’t covered under Food and Drug Administration labeling laws. Some fast-food purveyors will provide calorie information on request, but even that can be hard to understand. (8)
For example, one company’s Web site lists its chicken salad as containing 150 calories; the almonds and noodles that come with it (an additional 190 calories) are listed separately. Add a serving of the 280-calorie dressing, and you’ve got a healthy lunch alternative that comes in at 620 calories. But that’s not all. Read the small print on the back of the dressing packet and you’ll realize it actually contains 2.5 servings. If you pour what you’ve been served, you’re suddenly up around 1,040 calories, which is half of the government’s recommended daily calorie intake. And that doesn’t take into account that 450-calorie super-size Coke. (9)
Make fun if you will of these kids launching lawsuits against the fast-food industry, but don’t be surprised if you’re the next plaintiff. As with the tobacco industry, it may be only a matter of time before state governments begin to see a direct line between the $1 billion that McDonald’s and Burger King spend each year on advertising and their own swelling health care costs. (10)
And I’d say the industry is vulnerable. Fast-food companies are marketing to children a product with proven health hazards and no warning labels. They would do well to protect themselves, and their customers, by providing the nutrition information people need to make informed choices about their products. Without such warnings, we’ll see more sick, obese children and more angry, litigious parents. I say, let the deep-fried chips fall where they may. (11)

4.To include the entire passage from “Five Ways to Boost Your Will Power” in your own essay, what should you do according to MLA style?
Some tips for boosting willpower include:
Do something physically challenging. Adopt a new habit, such as brushing your teeth with the opposite hand or adjusting your posture every 30 minutes, both of which have been validated in research. Or learn a new skill like rollerblading, Zumba, or ballroom dance. Exercise every day, preferably outdoors. A 2010 review of 10 studies found that the biggest mood–boosting, stress–reducing effects of exercise came from five–minute doses. Getting active outside provided an added bonus of increased willpower in some studies, she said, possibly because being around nature reduced stress more than being indoors.

Voluntourism: An Opportunity Too Good to be True
Read the speech “Voluntourism: An Opportunity Too Good to be True” and consider the advertisement “The Opportunity of a Lifetime.” Then, answer the question.
A Speech to the Student Body of Evergreen High
[1] Picture this: It’s Spring Break, and you fly off to some country where there’s lush rainforests and beautiful, blue coastlines to explore. There’s also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this “volunteer plus travel” experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.
[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are “helping” are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that “Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist…encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help.”
[3] Proponents of the “volunteer plus travel” experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism “can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening” (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist’s eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.
[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town’s animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).
[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average “voluntour” travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world’s citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you’ve returned home. But do not voluntour.
[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don’t turn someone else’s hardship into your vacation.
“The Opportunity of a Lifetime”
Both texts (the speech and the advertisement) address voluntourism. However, each text has a different purpose, which is reflected by the details each writer chose to include. Consider the words and images used.
Read: Armstrong, Joslyn, et al. “‘A Dream Deferred’: How Discrimination Impacts the American Dream Achievement for African Americans.” Journal of Black Studies, vol. 50, no. 3, Apr. 2019, pp. 227-250. Academic Search Complete. doi:10.1177/0021934719833330.
In reading Joslyn Armstrong et al’s “A Dream Deferred,” some guidance will be helpful. To wade through the research is daunting, so do not read the whole of the document. Read the following sections only to be able to answer the discussion questions:
These sections will enable you to consider the study’s purpose and its conclusions in order to answer question 1 of this week’s discussion.
1. Do you see this study as an accurate picture of the American Dream’s impact (or lack of it) on minorities in America? Why?
2. What do you propose is the leading issue holding people back from achieving the American Dream? Why?
3. Can you see any way forward that is equitable on all fronts/issues hindering Americans from achieving the American Dream? Describe your plan in detail.
