Engage in a dialogue with your classmates–do you even remember the event he/she lists? What else do you have to say about someone else’s event? Your response to someone else must be at least FOUR sentences. You can certainly respond to more than one person.
The point of this post is to brainstorm possible topics for the Scandal Paper assignment. You do NOT have to choose the event you post here, but you certainly may. You may also select a topic for the paper that someone else posts. That is not a problem. The Discussion serves to generate a variety of ideas for anyone to select.

There have been many different scandals that were controversial within the past 100 years, but I decided to pick a more recent scandal. The most scandalous or controversial news event that I could think of would be the Harvey Weinstein scandal. This scandal is recent and rocked all of Hollywood while making front page news. Being a Oscar winning producer, Weinstein shocked people worldwide when this major scandal regarding him emerged. This scandal received widespread media coverage. Over the span of several decades, over 80 women came forward to allege that the movie mogul either harassed, raped or made inappropriate advances towards them, prompting national attention. Some of these women included Cara Delevingne, Kate Beckinsale, Angelina Jolie, and Salma Hayek. This became a major scandal within the entertainment industry and made people think about what was really going on behind the scenes. In May of 2018, Weinstein was arrested, and charged with rape as well as other offenses. He would later be released on bail but the effects of the scandal was just the beginning.The fall of Harvey Weinstein sparked the #MeToo and Time’s Up influential movements all across platforms including social media. Celebrities, actors, actresses, politicians and everyday civilians came together and brought light to this scandal by making their voices be heard, and letting others know that it was okay to come forward. This scandal would later influence what would become known as the “Weinstein Effect”.

1. Read A Critical Focus: Exploring Claude Debussy’s “Clair de Lune”
2. Carefully listen to the song “Clair de Lune” and critically examine its components, style, context, and influence. Listen for and try identifying at least TWO basic elements of music described in Chapter 6. You may also wish to refer back to the Chapter 6 Required Online Exploration resources
3. Read the essay “Musical Impressionism: The Early History of the Term” by Ronald L. Byrnside from The Musical Quarterly, Vol. 66, No. 4 (October, 1980), pp. 522-537, published by Oxford University Press.
4. Now that you’ve carefully examined and researched the work of music, go to the Chapter 6 Clair de Lune Analysis Discussion forum, and write a new thread of at least 200 words, in which you:
Describe Claude Debussy’s “Clair de Lune” analytically. In doing this, identify at least TWO basic elements of music described in Chapter 6 (section 6.1) “The Basic Elements of Music”.
Explain whether “Clair de Lune” is Apollonian or Dionysian, and provide evidence supporting your argument.
Knowing that “Clair de Lune” belongs to a musical school known as Impressionism (based on your research) describe the similarities and differences between Impressionism as an artistic movement (as we learned about in Module 5) and as a movement in music. Use evidence from “Clair de Lune” and your exploration of Impressionism to support your arguments.
Be sure to use and cite “Musical Impressionism: The Early History of the Term” by Ronald L. Byrnside and/or another essay you have already found and read as a research source article concerning the musical school and movement known as Impressionism.

In Plato’s Gorgias, callicles says to Socrates: ”… For the truth is, Socrates, that you who pretend to be engaged in the pursuit of truth, are appealing now to the popular and vulgar of right, which are not natural, but only conventional. Convention and nature are generally at variance with one another….” What does Callicles mean? What is his view of natural justice? How, according to Callicles, does it differ from conventional justice? Meanwhile, Thrasymachus states in Plato’s Republic that ” justice is nothing else than the interest of the stronger…” What do you take thrasymachus to be saying? How does Socrates challenge Thrasymachus’s definition of justice? What is your view of Thrasymachus’s claim that the rulers, who rule because they are strong, infallibly know what is in their best interests? Please compare and contrast the two accounts of justice mentioned above. Are callicles and thrasymachus basically making the same point? If their views of justice differ, how do they differ? How does Palmer characterize rational thought in the first chapter of his textbook? Is there a difference between thinking rationally and asserting one’s strength? Please explain your views, be thorough, and show that you have read the material closely.

Research Paper Outline
FSGN 1101(2) Introduction to Gerontology
Value: 10%
Due: February 27, 2019 by 6pm
Students must submit a 2 page outline of their research papers via Moodle (4 page total with
title page and reference list page). The research question must be related to a topic discussed in
class. Students are encouraged to explore a topic of particular interest to them or to choose
one from the list below.
Students are encouraged to begin searching for resources on their topic to determine if there is
enough published information about the topic to write the paper and to begin to develop the
paper outline. Research topics are to be related to course content covered in Sections 6,
(psychology), 7 (healthcare), 8 (family life & social support), 9 (leisure, recreation & service).
If you’re not sure if you have developed an appropriate research question, email the instructor
your question at least one week BEFORE you submit your paper outline.
Some Suggested Research Topic Ideas
Psychology of Aging
• Resilience in older life
• Creativity and aging
• Rethinking dementia
• Implications of plasticity and cognitive reserve as we age
• New models of intelligence
• Aging with a developmental disability
Healthcare
• Implications of health care rationing
• New models for an aging population
Introduction to Gerontology FSGN 1101
• Person centred care
• Health promotion among seniors
• The promise of technology
• Pathologizing aging
Family Life & Social Support
• Ethno cultural differences in social support
• Baby boomer support for siblings: Cohort differences
• Filial obligation and social support
• Caring for older parents (or older spouses, nonrelatives)
• Caring for persons with dementia (differences, challenges, best practices)
• Combining work and eldercare – short and long-term consequences
• Maintaining family in long term care
Leisure, Recreation and Service
• Volunteering among older persons (gender differences, cultural differences, etc.)
• Changes in spiritual need as people age
• Spirituality and aging: different religious traditions
• Living a meaningful late life
• Aging and lifelong learning
Research Paper Outline Requirements
The outline should be 2 pages (300-500 words), plus separate title and reference pages (total 4
pages). Use the following format when completing your outline:
1. Title Page: Follow APA format.
2. Research Question: Write your research question. Strong questions are always specific and
targeted. The more specific you can be, the better the paper will be. You will build your paper
around this question.
3. Introductory paragraph – Describe in one paragraph (approx. 100-200 words) why this
question was chosen and why it is important to understand it. This is not an opinion piece or a
personal reflection. It is a research paper and your arguments must be supported. Please keep
that in mind here and as you write the paper.
4. Investigation Plan: Describe in one paragraph (approximately 100-200 words) the plan for
investigating this question using a gerontological perspective. What makes this study a
gerontology study (besides the topic)? To address this you will need to think about the theories
and methods that are used in gerontology, and how gerontology’s way of thinking about aging
Introduction to Gerontology FSGN 1101
may be different from other disciplines (such as biology, or psychology or English literature –
although there may be some points of connection between these disciplines). In addressing
these questions, consider what it is that makes gerontology as a field of study distinct.
5. Reference List: Include 3 references for published peer-reviewed academic research in APA
formatting.
6. Grammar & Spelling: Proof read before submitting to ensure you have spelled all words
correctly and have used good grammar.
The outline is the plan for your research paper. You need to give each of the components of the
outline due consideration and you need to think about how each component relates to the
other. For example, do your references actually help you to address your question, or are they
just general references on the overarching topic of aging? Your grade will reflect how well the
different aspects of the outline fit together, and show your understanding of a gerontological
perspective.

Research Paper Instructions: Assignment Checklist
Check off each step as you work through it, in order to ensure that all steps have been
completed correctly. If you have questions as you work through the steps, ask before/after
class.
Choose a topic that we discussed in class that you are interested in from Sections 6-9 (see a
suggested list of topics in the outline assignment instructions document on Moodle but feel
free to choose something different). Start searching for resources on the topic to use to build
your paper and see if there is enough published information about the topic to write the
paper. Create a research question that can be answered through the published research in
the field. If you’re not sure if you have chosen an appropriate research question, email me
your question BEFORE you submit your paper outline.
Review your scholarly sources, reading each one and taking notes of the points you
want to use in your paper. Relying on too many direct quotations will also result in
grade deductions. Please include references to show where you get your information
from. To avoid plagiarism, it helps to take your notes in your own words, paraphrasing
the journal articles.
Complete and submit your the outline for your paper, including the reference list of your
sources. It will be the map for your paper. See the document on Moodle with specific
instructions for completing your paper outline (due February 27, 2019)
Get writing! Your paper should clearly state your research question, have a c
Introduction to Gerontology FSGN 1101
introduction, main body (with sub-topics) and a conclusion, all clearly marked by
headings. Common mistake: Remember that we do not introduce new topics or
ideas in the conclusion section of a paper.
Write and revise. Writing a research paper should not be a one-time process. Begin
early and come back to your work. It will be important to read through your paper to
gain a perspective on what you may have missed, or what you have repeated. It can
be helpful to read your paper out loud; it allows you to hear when sentences sound
awkward. Let a friend/fellow classmate/parent read your paper and give feedback.
Proofread, proofread, and proofread. Losing marks for grammar, typos and incorrect
formatting is completely avoidable.
Edit your work. Be sure that your entire assignment, including citations, is written in
American Psychological Association (APA) format. The Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) is an incredibly useful source for students new to APA. Be sure that your assignment abides by the formatting rules above.
Upload your assignment to Moodle. Your assignment will be graded.
