POINTS: WORTH UP TO 50 DUE: Saturday, July 14 LENGTH: 1,000+ words (4-5 pages) NOTE: Assignments should be written as an essay, not just point-by-point responses. This gives you a better opportunity to integrate and explore ideas. Draw from our readers (eg, Collins, Singer, and anybody else that's been relevant, including URLS and WebBoard discussions). This assignment involves three parts: 1) Define, in your own words, define what the concept of GENDER JUSTICE means to you. Then, drawing from course material, explain on what basis you think that "gender injustice" is wrong. That is, if discrimination or unfairness toward women is functional for society or for the greater good, then why change the status quo? (note: NO OPINIONS! Draw from readings) 2) Next, find two substantive articles on the net, and include the URLS in a bibliography. Critique the articles in a strong paragraph each (both good and bad points). 3) Finally, conclude by discussing forms of gender injustice you see a) in the U.S. and/or b) Internationally.
