[SOLVED] Term Paper Java

Term Paper

You will write a 5-page paper (see syllabus for formatting guidelines) on Mark  Schuller’s Humanity’sLast Stand: Confronting Global Catastrophe book. The paper is due November 17th at 11:59 PM via Brightspace.

This book engages major problems facing the human species today. By examining the recent past, Schuller shows the lineage of these issues and how they connect with one  another. In addition, Schuller offers suggestions for how we can address these issues to create a more equitable, humane, and sustainable version of humanity. In your paper,   address the following questions based on the book chapters and class discussions. You must cite specific examples from the book for full credit.

1)  How can viewing things through an anthropological lens (utilizing

anthropological data, theories, and approaches) shape our understanding of major social, economic, political, and environmental issues?

2)  What is an ‘anthropological imagination’? How does an anthropological

imagination help us to see the interconnection of humanity’s experiences and issues?

3)  What is ‘radical empathy’? What does it mean to you to practice radical empathy in your daily life?

4)  How can radical empathy inspire movements of solidarity and eventually, social and structural changes?
