Description NO AI NO AI NO AI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!How to Complete this Assignment I know these instructions are long. Read every word. I promise it will only help your grade to do so. You will find 5 debate questions with two position options each below. For this discussion board, you will take both positions in one of the questions and then debate other classmates on their positions. Example Debate Question: Is technology a catalyst or hindrance to social change? Position A: Argue that technology plays a significant role in accelerating social change by providing platforms for communication, mobilization, and access to information. Position B: Argue that technology creates barriers to social change, such as social isolation, privacy concerns, and reinforcing existing power structures. For this discussion, you would first need to clearly define social change and technology as it pertains to each position. Then list several (I like three) examples on how technology as you defined it helps or hinders social change as you defined it. What to do: You will choose one debate question from below and argue both sides. This is regardless of how you feel about this particular topic. You will spend about 150 words on each side justifying your positions using the lecture notes, mini lectures, or academic sources. You will cite both in-text and a works cited section. If you do not cite your sources, or if you use no sources, you will receive a 0 on this assignment. Next, find a classmate who chose a different question than you did, read both sides, and then post your opinion. You will use their argument to justify yours. This needs to be deeper than "I agree with you" or "I really liked how you said this." You will do this two times, so there should be a total of at least 3 posts. I am looking for quality over quantity here though, so keep that in mind as you complete these assignments. Discussion Board dos: Meet the minimum requirements. This should go unsaid, but you should post at least 3 times. The word count minimum should also be met for each post. Your initial responses where you take and justify your positions should be completed before midnight on the due date listed (midnight on Tuesday). Your two debate responses to classmates should be completed after the due date but before the end of the week (midnight on Thursday). This format allows everyone to set a position first and then come back to have choices for debating. Type directly into the text box. Do not upload an attachment! Important: title your discussion board. At the top of your post, you should type the question you chose. Then title each of your sections/positions accordingly. This makes it easier for everyone to find your position quickly. Discussion Board don’ts: Personal experiences are not evidence for a position. Just because you have had a particular experience does not make it a universal truth. Use lecture notes, minilectures, and/or academic sources to justify your positions. Absolutely no ad-hominem attacks. These will not be tolerated. Just because you disagree with someone, doesn’t mean you get to attack them as a person. Your post will be deleted, and you will receive a 0 on this assignment if there are any instances of this(name calling for example). You will also be referred to the disciplinary board if it is repeated or if there are direct threats made. Do not post all three of your responses on the same day. Follow my guidelines (found in the do’s section). Do not attach files of your writing (i.e. word documents/PDFs). No one will read them (I have learned from experience). See #4 in the do’s list. Don't forget to cite your academic sources correctly. If there are no sources cited, you will receive a 0 on this assignment. Discussion board posts cannot be late. That is, if you wait until after the due date to post your two positions on the chosen question, your posts will not be graded. For a shot at full credit: Post your initial positions for one of the 5 questions with justification before the due date. Meet minimum length requirements. Come back after the due date and post rebuttals to two classmates. Notes: I use SafeAssign to check for plagiarism, so make sure you cite, use quotations, and provide a works cited page as appropriate. I use CopyLeaks to check for the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). I understand that no software is 100%, but this one is the best out there as of this course. Debate 1: Rehabilitation vs. Punishment Question: Should the criminal justice system focus more on rehabilitating offenders or on punishing them for their actions? Opposing Opinions: Rehabilitation: The emphasis should be on addressing the root causes of criminal behavior and providing opportunities for offenders to reintegrate into society. Punishment: Stricter punishments serve as deterrents and ensure justice for victims, maintaining social order. Debate 2: Labeling Theory and Stigma Question: Does labeling individuals as "deviant" contribute to their continued deviant behavior, or does it help society identify and manage potential threats? Opposing Opinions: Labeling and deviance: Labeling theory suggests that attaching deviant labels can lead individuals to adopt deviant identities and behaviors. Social management: Labeling serves as a way to identify potential threats to social order and helps society respond and intervene when necessary. Debate 3: Surveillance and Privacy Question: Does increased surveillance, both online and offline, enhance social control and reduce deviant behavior, or does it infringe upon individual privacy rights? Opposing Opinions: Enhanced social control: Surveillance deters criminal activities, making communities safer and preventing deviant behavior. Privacy rights: Surveillance compromises individual privacy and can lead to a surveillance state, limiting personal freedoms. Debate 4: Single-Gender Education Question: Is single-gender education beneficial for students by minimizing gender stereotypes and accommodating different learning styles, or does it reinforce gender segregation? Opposing Opinions: Gender-specific education: Single-gender education caters to different learning needs and minimizes gender biases, enhancing educational experiences. Gender segregation: Single-gender education perpetuates gender stereotypes and limits opportunities for diverse interactions and perspectives. Debate 5: Gendered Toy Marketing Question: Does gendered marketing of toys reinforce traditional gender roles and expectations, or does it reflect children's natural preferences? Opposing Opinions: Reinforcing gender roles: Gendered toy marketing enforces stereotypical expectations about how boys and girls should play and behave. Reflecting preferences: Gendered toy marketing responds to market demand and reflects the differing preferences of children without necessarily shaping them.
