HUM 105 Great Ideas of World Civilizations
This week, for our second Discussion Forum,
take a look at the materials I’ve posted on Blackboard for you in the Materials
for the Four Units section, in Unit One. At the very least, for this discussion
forum, you should do the assigned reading (Outline on “Men and Women in
Western European History”, “Masculinity in Chinese History”, and
also look at the short PowerPoint on “Gender and Sexuality”. If you wish and have time, you can also watch
the clip from Mulan, a few minutes of the film Tough Guise on YouTube, and look
at the “Women in Art” video. Browse the materials in the “Guide
to Being a Good Woman” folder, and any of the other materials that catches
your eye. Spend a little time thinking about what you’ve seen and heard.
Then, some time between now and Thursday,
January 31st at 11:59 pm, post your first response to the forum: your answer to
the question below. It should be about 150 to 200 words, and refer to the
assigned readings and any other materials you chose to look at.
Then, between Friday morning and Sunday
night, post your second response. Your second response can be shorter, but it
should be a full response to a post of one of your classmates: at least three
sentences. That one needs to be completed by 11:59 pm, February 3rd. Please use
at least one direct quotation from the assigned readings (use quotation marks
and cite properly), and one reference to on-line materials in your first post,
and make sure you do at least one of the following for each of your two posts:
Be the first to post an answer to the
question.
Agree, but then add to what someone else
has already said.
Disagree with something already said, but
explain why you disagree.
Add a new element or new idea to the
discussion.
Do not just agree, disagree, go off on an
unrelated tangent, or base your argument on “It’s just my opinion”.
Give reasons. And be grammatical. This is college.
Here’s this week’s question: Are the
character traits we associate with masculinity and femininity entirely the
result of our biology? In other words, are men just naturally born more likely
to be more violent or aggressive and more sexually assertive than women? Are
women just naturally born more nurturing, timid, gentle, and submissive than
men? Or are we trained or do we choose to act according to the rules we’re
given by our culture?
Remember, you’re not required to agree with
or accept what I give you to read or see. Go ahead and question!
