This is a particularly important chapter because it will form the basis for a paper that you will be writing in steps, and will culminate in a major paper due in unit 7. The first step in this process, that you will complete this week, is to select a topic based on a social problem that you can apply to the 3 models of service delivery (medical, public health, and human services from chapter 6). This is the topic that you’ll use to write about for the course paper due in unit 7. Select a topic you naturally want to learn more about and one that is related to human services in some way. A social problem such as addiction, mental illness, teen pregnancy, COVID, or any other topic that can be explained from the lens of the models of service delivery from chapter 6 will work. If you’re unsure, just run it by me via email. You will do research on that topic to complete the unit 4 literacy assignment, which is essentially an annotated bibliography (summary of each source you find). Read the instructions carefully and let me know if you have questions. You do not have to use the template provided for the unit 4 assignment if the formatting doesn’t work for you. If that is the case, it is important to follow it and create your own with a Word doc. You need to find at least 2 credible sources for this assignment, in addition to the Introduction to Human Services book. Remember to provide a detailed summary of each source. There is a helpful link on the unit 4 page about how to do an annotated bibliography. The purpose of this assignment is to allow you to do research for the paper due in unit 7 and to allow me to approve your topic and sources so that I can be sure they will be useful for that paper.
Students will be required to write a short paper (4 to 5 FULL/COMPLETE pages) on two Black storytellers (director, writer, and/or producer) from the 20th or 21st century. [10%]
Be sure to include:
Brief biography
How do they function as a storyteller? Producer? Director? Writer?
What does their work include? What are their contributions? How are they significant? What stories are they telling?
Influence on culture? Influence from previous and on future generations? Why are they important?
You must cite your sources (inside the paper and a resource page; you are able to use informalthat is not peer reviewed or scholarly workand formalpeer reviewed articles and bookscitations as long as you cite your work)
Your “Big Question”:
If you had all the time and money in the world, what would you research or investigate? This assignment is designed to get you thinking about issues an topics that interest you, and to begin thinking about how one can apply holism to topics that don’t – at the surface – seem to relate to disparate subfields in anthropology.
NOTE: We began this exercise in Week 2 of class. Here, you should flesh out your “big question” from your notes. We will have other opportunities to work this out, leading to potential topics for the final MEAD Projects, examples for your elevator pitches, etc.
In a post of app. 250 words (yes you can have more), address the following.
1. Describe those human-primate problems, concerns, or issues drive you and inspire you through the lens of a mega-reserach project or public good project. What are the general issues, themes, concerns?
2. How would you go about looking at this issue engaging empiricism and holism?
3. What drives you to this topic or research? Explain how you “got here.”
The Short Activities Rubric will be used to grade this exercise.
1. Anthropological Perspectives (1) Exhibits awareness and understanding of ethnocentrism, cultural relativity, contexts, and power in all activities;
2. Course Concepts & Examples (1) Directly and appropriately utilizes course terminology in all writing and activities; Describes and utilizes appropriate examples from course materials (readings, films, individual fieldwork, media sources);
3. Follows Instructions & Puts in Effort (3) Is this a compare/contrast discussion? Did you find outside sources if required? Were you supposed to upload an image? Follow the directions!! And put in some effort.

After viewing the video linked above, please write 2-3 paragraphs sharing what you learned and/or thought about the information presented. DO NOT simply repeat what was said, as I have already seen the video. I want to know what you think about the information.
The first paragraph should be your interpretation of what message you think the speaker was trying to convey. The second paragraph should be your assessment as to how the message applies to preparing or delivering a successful presentation. A third paragraph may be included, if you like, that indicates whether or not you agree with the premise and why.
Different cultures share similar categories of nonverbal message channels but use differing messages to communicate nonverbally. Focusing on three of these channelsbody language, personal space, and touch write a research paper that describes how your culture (standard american english background) uses these channels to communicate nonverbally and compare two other cultures use of these channels to your own.

Why did the British colonists in what would become the United States choose racial slavery as a primary form of labor? The colonists did not arrive with race-based slavery in mind, but they would begin establishing it within a few decades. So then what other forms of labor did they use or attempt to use on a widespread basis, and why did slavery become so dominant?
