For your final project in this course, you will develop a compelling question that
blends the self, the other, and concerns related to the course topic , and delves deep
into the personal, social, cultural, creative, scientific (etc, etc. etc.) implications of
these differences.
Use Walker, Wallace, or Rodriguez structural models
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Global development
Self and other
awareness?
situation bias?
Veil of Ignorance - mental changes considering circumstantial reversal
WALLACE - narrow question, extends to broader ideas in a meandering sort of way - that's how my mind works to some degree, and I'm comfortable with that, so that might be easiest...
Beginning question
-exploratory, +more questions
-train of thought/reasonings/transitions into more questions, also maybe some tentative answers?
-more explanation, more answeryish things, + questions
-+questions, only vague answers and rhetorical/thoughtful questions if possible
End
Topics I want to explore:
Veil of Ignorance
-what happens if you were on the receiving end
-pride?
-pride, dignity, sense of self - what is their sense of self once they begin to rely on it?
-how much do ppl feel the need to justify themselves/rely on their self rather than the other
-at what point in poverty? compare those who originated in poverty to those who became impoverished....obviously cases for both? Sometimes international aid become a way of life for many
Who is the "other": for both the givers and the receivers....giver perhaps broader because of technology and not being as isolated - poor don't have access to everyday news + etc
Race
Perspective
Perspective of other people on why you'd help - contribute to aid
Simple beginning question
How much does it cost for a tube of toothpaste?
