Stewart-Steele1

**MWP #1:**

**Profile of a Culture or Ethnic Group**

Weight: 20% of final grade

Length and Formatting: 2-3 pages, typed, double-spaced, Black 12-point Times New Roman font, using standard MLA format.

Assignment Preparation: Brainstorm about a culture or ethnic group. (Useful for Mind Map Assignment) Think of all the ways that a culture or ethnic group has impacted the way individuals live, learn, and behave socially. Next, beside each of your top picks with the category’s, clarify for yourself why that impacts the culture or ethnic group specifically. Then write for 5-10 minutes about what outsiders in general might think about the culture or ethnic group. After this, list who on Campus or within a community might be a good insider for information regarding the culture or ethnic group, and why?

Assignment: Write a profile of a culture or ethnic group that surrounds beliefs, education, and social preferences. Remember this assignment is not about you but about profiling a culture or ethnic group, therefore the essay should be written in 3rd person.

Work to Describe the culture or ethnic groups key features: What makes it a distinct culture or ethnic group, and what experiences or outcomes may someone have who enters that culture or ethnic group reasonably expect?

The profile you provide should work to enlighten your readers about the culture or ethnic group that you have chosen. Your readers should leave your essay not with a general encyclopedia-level understanding of the culture or ethnic group, but with a refreshed and expanded understanding—beyond common knowledge or stereotypes—of what the culture or ethnic group concerns. Focus your paper on 3 key takeaways for your readers.

Audience: First-year college students who have not thought extensively about other cultures or ethnic groups in which you have chosen to write about. They are comprised of an indifferent audience that encounters your essay in a booklet called “Campus Life” written for undergraduates and focusing on the many options for work and study at the College.

Research: If you choose to obtain outside sources you are limited to 2 sources only. Do not use Google. Resources that can be used for this assignment should only be comprised of in-class text, Jstor, or the library. If you choose to utilize quotes from these sources for this paper, you will need to make sure you are introducing the quote or quotes correctly, make sure that it is absolutely necessary to have the author's words exactly and not your own words.

Rationale: This assignment forces you to describe and explain a topic with a sense of your purpose and audience—fundamental concerns for anyone who wishes to write rhetorically. Furthermore, it pushes you to be specific, to commit to 3 key points rather than try to list and explain several points about your topic. Doing this will give you practice organizing your ideas differently than via the five-paragraph theme; this is a crucial step for college writers.

**Mind Map Instructions**

**Purpose:** Mapping out your ideas helps with the writing process, and for some, seeing that process visually helps with organization. Before diving into writing, you will spend some time collecting your thoughts and how those thoughts function in your essay.

**Assignment**: Create a power point that is a both
**written** and a
**visual** representation of your thoughts. Tip: Use your brainstorming activity from the essay instructions.

**Constraints:** You will create a 7-slide power point that establishes a visual flow chart of your essay. The power point will need to include the following:

· Heading Information MLA format (slide #1)

· Introduction (slide #2)

· Thesis Statement (slide #3)

· 3 key terms (slides #4, #5, #6)

· Conclusion (slide #7)

**Complete your Brainstorming activity found within the essay instruction before you attempt this assignment.**

**Components:**

**Introduction:** Your introduction is a way to help the reader understand what the main idea is of your essay, or what your essay will be comprised of. Think of your reader as a person who knows nothing about what you have learned or read about. Meaning provide background information about the major subject, here you should provide a minimum of
**four sentences**.

**Thesis:** Your thesis should do two things, help the reader transition from your introduction into

the body of your essay and support the ways you have chosen to argue your main idea. Your thesis should include your key terms and be presented in the same order you have selected for your body paragraphs (Chronologically, Logical, or Importance). Your thesis should be only
**one or two sentences.**

**Key Terms:** First work on the body of your essay (labeled Key Terms there should be 3 for this essay); doing so helps you focus your ideas before attacking the introduction or your thesis. Write a minimum of
**three-four sentences** about each key term. Your key terms should flow in order, whether that be (Chronologically, Logical, or by Importance). The order you choose should in some way link itself to the next key term.

**Conclusion:** After you have your key terms in order, focus on what you want, the reader to take away from your essay. (The Conclusion). Write
**three sentences** with your reader in mind. What are you trying to help the reader understand, take on as their own beliefs, and or what do you want the reader to do with the information you have provided?

**Research:** You should be using your knowledge for this essay.
**DO NOT use google** to gain information. If you need to further your knowledge you can obtain Scholarly journals/ articles from the following approved search engines; Jstor, and libraries Data Base. I have provided you with these links within the course forum. Make sure to keep notes of your research (if needed) for both in text citations and a work cited page.

**Profile of a Culture or Ethnic Group**

Weight: 20% of final grade

Length and Formatting: 2-3 pages, typed, double-spaced, Black 12-point Times New Roman font, using standard MLA format.

Assignment Preparation: Brainstorm about a culture or ethnic group. (Useful for Mind Map Assignment) Think of all the ways that a culture or ethnic group has impacted the way individuals live, learn, and behave socially. Next, beside each of your top picks with the category’s, clarify for yourself why that impacts the culture or ethnic group specifically. Then write for 5-10 minutes about what outsiders in general might think about the culture or ethnic group. After this, list who on Campus or within a community might be a good insider for information regarding the culture or ethnic group, and why?

Assignment: Write a profile of a culture or ethnic group that surrounds beliefs, education, and social preferences. Remember this assignment is not about you but about profiling a culture or ethnic group, therefore the essay should be written in 3rd person.

Work to Describe the culture or ethnic groups key features: What makes it a distinct culture or ethnic group, and what experiences or outcomes may someone have who enters that culture or ethnic group reasonably expect?

The profile you provide should work to enlighten your readers about the culture or ethnic group that you have chosen. Your readers should leave your essay not with a general encyclopedia-level understanding of the culture or ethnic group, but with a refreshed and expanded understanding—beyond common knowledge or stereotypes—of what the culture or ethnic group concerns. Focus your paper on 3 key takeaways for your readers.

Audience: First-year college students who have not thought extensively about other cultures or ethnic groups in which you have chosen to write about. They are comprised of an indifferent audience that encounters your essay in a booklet called “Campus Life” written for undergraduates and focusing on the many options for work and study at the College.

Research: If you choose to obtain outside sources you are limited to 2 sources only. Do not use Google. Resources that can be used for this assignment should only be comprised of in-class text, Jstor, or the library. If you choose to utilize quotes from these sources for this paper, you will need to make sure you are introducing the quote or quotes correctly, make sure that it is absolutely necessary to have the author's words exactly and not your own words.

Rationale: This assignment forces you to describe and explain a topic with a sense of your purpose and audience—fundamental concerns for anyone who wishes to write rhetorically. Furthermore, it pushes you to be specific, to commit to 3 key points rather than try to list and explain several points about your topic. Doing this will give you practice organizing your ideas differently than via the five-paragraph theme; this is a crucial step for college writers.

I. Introduction

A. Hook: Have you ever bought a shirt that looked great, was super cheap and trendy at
first, but then ripped or faded after just one wash? That’s fast fashion.

B. Background info: Fast fashion is all about trendy clothes made really fast and sold for
dirt cheap because of the way it’s being produced.

C. Background info: It’s fun because you can stay in style without spending much, but it
comes with big problems most people don’t think about.

D. Thesis statement: Fast fashion is a problem because it treats workers badly, it hurts the
environment, and it makes us buy way more than we need.

II. Body Paragraph 1

B. Supporting point: Workers in other countries are often underpaid and overworked.

Detail: Many workers get paid almost nothing for very long hours.

Detail: Factories can be unsafe and unhealthy places to work.

C. Supporting point: Big brands focus more on profit than workers’ well-being.

Detail: Even when brands claim to be “ethical,” conditions rarely improve.

Detail: Workers’ rights are often ignored in favor of speed and low costs

D. Supporting point: The system keeps workers trapped in poor conditions.

Detail: People making the clothes have little power or protections.

Detail: Labor issues are often hidden from consumers.

III. Body Paragraph 2

A. Topic/transition sentence: Fast fashion also causes serious harm to the environment.

B. Supporting point: Producing cheap clothes uses a lot of natural resources.

Detail: Making clothes takes huge amounts of water and energy.

Detail: Factories release pollution into the air and water.

C. Supporting point: Clothes are made cheaply and thrown away quickly.

Detail: Cheap fabrics don’t break down, which harms the environment.

D. Supporting point: Synthetic fabrics pollute oceans.

Detail: Tiny plastic fibers from polyester and other fabrics end up in water systems.

Detail: These microplastics hurt wildlife and ecosystems.

IV. Body Paragraph 3

A. Topic/transition sentence: Fast fashion encourages overproducing and waste.

B. Supporting point: Constantly changing trends make people feel the need to buy more.

Detail: New styles appear all the time, making old clothes feel outdated which influences
more people to keep up to date with the fashion and buy more clothes that aren't even
good quality.

Detail: People often replace barely-worn clothes with the latest trends.

C. Supporting point: This makes it harder for sustainable fashion to compete.

Detail: Thrift stores and ethical brands struggle against cheap fast fashion.

Detail: People get stuck in a cycle of buying cheap, low-quality items.

D. Supporting point: Overconsumption has long-term social and environmental effects.

Detail: It leads to waste and clutter.

Detail: It reduces demand for better-quality, sustainable clothing.

V. Conclusion

A. Restatement of thesis: Fast fashion is harmful because how people are overconsuming
these products which are making the factories produce more where they mistreats
workers, damage the environment, and encourage overconsumption.

B. So what?: If we slow down, buy better-quality clothes, reuse items, and support thrift or
sustainable brands, we can help both people and the planet.
