Philosophy

Description

The application paper is a paper where you select an idea, critical take, concept, etc. that you find of interest to our reading and show how it is relevant to contemporary social issues (via a news article/discussion – cases or examples are given in links after the readings to consider). The key is you show how an aspect of our reading (even if you are critical of it) proved revealing/insightful when grappling with current events. In the application papers we are testing the value/worth of certain theories or conceptual thinking. What needs to be worked on/added: More of Young’s conceptual work needs to be discussed to apply here. How is her historical and psychological analysis of cultural imperialism still relevant? In what way are added insights or sights of contestation revealed? Develop your work here – you can re-send.
