Rethinking Slacktivism: Paper 1 Assignment
For this paper you will argue for a particular definition of slacktivism. You will support your definition with evidence and examples, and your final paper will be polished!
Explaining Your Definition of Slacktivism
Your definition of slacktivism will not be a single sentence. Instead, you will provide examples, apply readings from class, and incorporate your personal experience, resulting in a sophisticated and thought-provoking definition of slacktivism that lasts several pages (please do not include a Wikipedia or Urban Dictionary definition!).
As we talked and read about, the meaning of slacktivism is up for debate! So in defining slacktivism, you are making an argument. Use the strategies we’ve talked about:
- Make arguments for your definition. Your definition needs to be defensible and interesting, and use the argument strategies from class.
- Incorporate class readings. Use strategies discussed (summary, paraphrase, quotation analysis, etc.).
- ü Quote from Christensen –and remember that you can agree and disagree with him!
