Comparative Research Paper – SOCIO-ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE FAMILY
Students will write a brief comparative paper (4-5 pages, double-spaced) that explores a topic of their choice through an analysis of two scholarly journal articles. The paper should include a discussion of the main arguments of both articles, the methods used to collect data, the most significant evidence and examples raised, and the conclusions of each article. More importantly, your paper must also provide a critical comparative analysis.
Some possible questions to consider in your paper are:
When were the articles published? Why might this be significant when comparing their methods, findings, and conclusions?
How did the choice of approach to research shape the findings and conclusions? How do the approaches, or methods, used in each article compare?
Do you think anything was missing from the analysis provided in the articles? When the articles are considered together, do they present specific or representative conclusions?
How do these articles connect with other course material and the broader themes in the course?
Are theories reinforced or contradicted? How does the information provided in your articles allow for a deeper understanding and stronger critical analysis of theories and research that has been previously discussed in the course?
These questions are suggestions only. Keep in mind that the more original your analysis and ideas, the better. You must not use any sources beyond your two chosen articles and any assigned course materials.
TOPICS AND RESEARCH:
You can choose any topic of your choice that falls within the scope of the course. Your comparison may consider articles that explore different time periods, different communities, different geographic locations, or other approaches to the same general topic.
