Your first homework assignment for the semester is question #3.  This question is not based solely on your opinion but instead your understanding of the chapter.  Please refer to pages 12-14 of the fourth edition.

How would you balance cultural relativism and universal human rights?  Do you think you could remain neutral in your judgement of all the behaviors you might see in a small-scale society?

Much like the Introductory Quiz, this assignment will act as a roll call.  At the end of the week I will take roll based on who submitted the homework assignment and who did not.  If you submitted it by the due date you will be marked present, if not you will be marked absent for the week.

Instructions for Written Research Proposal A project proposal is the first step in the development of a research project plan. The project proposal is a relatively short (3-5 page) document that includes the goal(s) of the research project, the objectives, a background section, a short version of the approach, expected results, and references. Like a good resume, a good research proposal should peak the prospective client’s or grantor’s interest (instructor’s in this case) in the first section of the proposal, and is more of a detailed annotated outline in advance of a more detailed research project plan. The proposal must be: 1. A minimum of 4 pages in length. 2. Include no more than 2 figures or illustrations, each being no more than 1/3 of a page in size. 3. #11 font and 1.5 spacing. 4. Include a title and all of the sections listed in the outline of a proposal below.
