Introduction:
- Start with a brief overview of the course and its objectives, highlighting the central themes of inequality and societal structures.
- Introduce the concept of synthesis and its significance in integrating ideas from various sources to form a cohesive understanding.
Body: Section 1: Themes and Connections
- Identify and discuss the key themes that emerged throughout the course. These could be concepts like systemic oppression, privilege, discrimination, social mobility, etc.
- Demonstrate how these themes are interconnected and build upon one another to shape our understanding of inequality.
- Provide specific examples or case studies discussed in the class to illustrate these themes.
Section 2: Independent Conclusions and Analysis
- Share your own insights and conclusions that have developed over the duration of the course. How has your understanding evolved, and what new perspectives have you gained?
- Analyze the various viewpoints and theories discussed in class. Have you found any common ground between seemingly contrasting ideas? Or have you identified limitations in certain theories?
- Discuss any personal experiences or real-world examples that resonate with the course content, showcasing your ability to apply the knowledge gained.
Section 3: Broader Context and Unexplored Concepts
- Situate the course content within a broader societal context. How does the understanding of inequality gained from this course align with or challenge broader narratives about society?
- Explore any axes or concepts that were not covered extensively in the class but could still be relevant to the study of inequality. This demonstrates your ability to think critically and expand your analysis beyond the class material.
Conclusion:
- Summarize the central themes and ideas discussed in the essay.
- Emphasize the importance of continued reflection and exploration of these concepts even beyond the course.
- Conclude by discussing how this understanding of inequality can be applied to effect positive change in society.
Remember, your synthesis essay should not merely rehash what you’ve written in previous assignments but should weave together these ideas into a coherent, insightful whole. When you’re ready to share your essays and portfolio, I’ll be here to assist you in refining and enhancing your synthesis.
QUESTION
Description
Now it’s time to think about preparing a synthesis of your learning in this class. What do we mean by “synthesis”?
Synthesizing is a process of combining ideas from multiple places into a coherent whole.
When you are synthesizing something, you are compiling information in a new way that reflects your own independent conclusions and analysis. In this class, we have discussed many diverse and often controversial subjects. It has been my goal and my hope that throughout this course you have learned more about how society works to create and maintain inequality. One of the best ways to reflect on what you have learned is to write about it.
Offline, in a word processor, write a 400-600 word essay synthesizing the class. Remember, you are not just paraphrasing or describing the research.Push yourself to go beyond your discussion posts by making new connections or offering new conclusions.
You might use this opportunity to situate your essa in the content of the course more broadly, relate other ideas in the class to each other, draw out one or two themes that you think are central to understanding inequality, or explore how axes or concepts that we did not cover in class can be understood or are related to the material we covered.
