Do you think there would be benefits that are grade/age specific? Explain.

/in /by

While academic gains have been seen in the subject areas of math and the sciences for female students, has this come as the cost of higher academic attainment for male students? Some argue that the gains experienced are due to co-educational settings, while others feel segregated classrooms are necessary to ensure educational equity to both genders.

The authors of your textbook pose the question, “Should schools or classrooms separate students by gender or sexual identities?” (Nelson, Palonshy, & McCarthy, 2013, p. 135). Is this a step in the right direction to remedy gender inequity or will the result be discriminatory practices?
Although the positions in this chapter allude to the effects that race, class, and ethnicity might have on an individual’s creation of his or her gender identity, they do not discuss those effects in any detail. Consider how the other facets of a person’s identity or situation in life might affect the choices they make about how much or how little to conform to various forms of masculinity or femininity. That is, does a person’s race, class, or gender affect how free people feel they are to deviate from gender stereotypes? Depending on your answers, what kinds of changes to the proposals in this chapter do you think are necessary to create gender equity in schools that takes race, class and ethnicity into consideration? (p. 149)
In your reflection, include your thoughts on:

Should schools or classrooms be separated by gender or sexual identities? Why or why not?
Do you think there would be benefits that are grade/age specific? Explain.
Support your statements with evidence from the required studies and your research. Cite and reference your sources in APA style.

Critically analyze information about crime, criminality and the administration of justice that is provided.

Cyber-Source Wiki Projects
All students will participate in a project that will result in the construction of a series of Wiki sites that will include sources related to the material we are discussing throughout the semester. This project will enable students to demonstrate their ability to: 1) use the internet as an information resource; 2) critically analyze information about crime, criminality and the administration of justice that is provided on the WWW; and 3) place the material being studied into a “local” perspective while using the class material to discuss the source from a “theoretical” perspective. It also allows the “students” to become “teachers” by demonstrating what they’ve learned from the class to one another so we can collectively learn together.
The formal elements of the Wiki Projects require that, for Sections 1 – 3-B of the class, each student must identify two different sources that relate to each particular section of the class. One of these sources must be drawn from a current scholarly source (published between the date specified in your syllabus and now) and the other source must be drawn from a non-scholarly (popular) site.
You will then prepare a brief critical analysis of the non-scholarly source relying the reading material assigned for the particular section of the class along with the current scholarly source you have located.
The “popular” web-based sources may be drawn from material posted through news servers or other popular (non-scholarly/non-academic) sources available in different locations on the WWW. Each student is required to post their critical review of the popular source on a “Wiki” page located at the class Wiki portal on or before the date posted in the Annotated Class Schedule. Each posting must include the popular site’s WWW address (url) and the date that site was last visited, the full citation information for the current scholarly source (using American Psychological Association citation format) and a brief summary and critical analysis of the source.
Each student’s summary must include specific discussion of how the source corresponds to the material included in the assigned reading for the section as well as how the information it deals with corresponds with the scholarly source that has been located. We will collectively engage in a discussion of these Wikis in large group discussion sessions held during each class session.
NOTE, THE NON-SCHOLARLY SOURCES ARE NOT TO BE DRAWN FROM SCHOLARLY OR ACADEMIC JOURNALS BUT SHOULD DRAW FROM OTHER SOURCES AVAILABLE ON THE WWW. CURRENT SCHOLARLY SOURCES CAN BE LOCATED USING THE SHSU LIBRARY’S SEARCH TOOLS.
Each source used in the Wiki Projects will be awarded up to 25 points for a total of 75 final semester points possible based upon: 1) the scholarly level of insight shown in the critical summary of your source (10 possible points); 2) how clearly and fully you are able to integrate the assigned readings into the analysis of the “issue” (10 possible points); and 3) the salience of cyber-site selected to the assigned reading material (5 possible points).
Section 1 – Contextualizing the Study of Crime, Criminality and Criminal Justice
This section of the class focuses on the questions: What is “crime?”; Who are the “criminals” our
system of justice processes?; and “What do we do in response to “crime” and “criminality”? It is
designed to encourage students to recognize the value of thinking about the “problem of crime”
and the “administration of justice” from a theoretical perspective and to think about this problem
from both systemic and global perspectives.
Required Reading:
Hopkins Burke (Chapters 1, 2 & 5) Slate et al. (Chapters 1 – 5) Criminal Justice Theory-An Introduction

Examine the cultural practice of Bride Kidnapping and formulate a thesis or claim for why the practice is acceptable or unacceptable morally.

/in /by

Read the Discussion Rubric carefully.
2. Then, after reading the Chapter on relativism and watching the video on Bride Kidnapping, examine the cultural practice of Bride Kidnapping and formulate a thesis or claim for why the practice is acceptable or unacceptable morally. Spend some time working on this thesis or claim. Please note that cultural relativism has problems, the biggest being the inability for equal rights. Make sure you are not just stating that you think is it fine because it is their culture. Try to think how you might view this if you were the one in their position. Many students say they would not like this and we do not practice this here thank goodness. That is a good start but go further to explain exactly what is wrong with doing this to any human being regardless of culture. If you think it is fine, make sure to tell us why it is okay to treat some people in this way and not others.
3. This article on Developing your Thesis opens in a new window, gives great advice and I would begin using it for this discussion board.
4. After you feel you have a good thesis or claim, provide solid reasons convincing us that we should be persuaded of your position. Simply telling us that is unethical without explaining what you mean and or not providing any reasons to persuade us, is not making a solid case. If your thesis is a good one, it will excite responses from your classmates. If we all agree with you, there is no point in making the claim. Choose something that at least half of us would disagree with. The next few sentences in your second paragraph should be reasons or evidence to support your claim.
