Introduction

Begin with an introductory paragraph that has a thesis statement at the end. The introduction should set up your topic, giving a preview and summary of the analysis you will present in the body of the paper. The thesis statement is the last sentence or two of the introduction and states what the main point structuring your paper will be.

Here is an Example of an Introduction.

Helpful Tips

  • The introduction should be one paragraph.

  • Explain the scope of your paper and set up the topics you will cover. Everything covered in your

    paper should relate back to the introduction and thesis statement.

  • Draw from what you learned while identifying thesis statements in the Week Two Locating Scholarly

    Resources assignment to help you craft your own thesis statement.

  • Review your instructor’s feedback on your thesis statement from your Week Three Summarize Your

    Sources for the Final Research Paper assignment. View Accessing Feedback in the Gradebook to see

    how to reviewing your instructor’s feedback.

  • See resources from the Ashford Writing Center on Moving from Prompt to Thesis--How to Turn a

    Prompt Into a Thesis Statement and Introductions and Conclusions. Part I

    Using the article by Miner (1956) and the feedback you received from your instructor on your worksheet in Week Three, describe one aspect of your own culture from an etic perspective. See the appropriate Sections in the Textbook in the List of Topics, based on your chosen topic from Week Three, for information on how to approach your paper from an anthropological perspective. You can describe American culture in general, as Miner does, or you can describe an American subculture, such as a specific geographical group (e.g., New Yorkers), a particular ethnicity (e.g., African Americans), or an age-related category of Americans (e.g., millennials).

    Use reputable statistics and/or scholarly research to support any factual statements. Do not rely solely on personal experience or opinion.

    Here is an Example of Part I

    Helpful Tips• This section should be two- to two-and-a-half pages long.• Demonstrate a culturally relativistic perspective throughout this section. Do not use opinionated or

    judgmental language.• Use the article by Miner to guide your own description. How would an anthropologist describe the topic

    you have chosen?• Use reliable sources to support your analysis. Review the ANT101: Evaluating Sources tutorial from the

    Ashford Library.• Review the In-Text Citation Guide. Use in-text citations every time you include information you learned

    from one of your sources.

    Part II

    Refer to the article you chose for Part II of the worksheet assignment in Week Three and describe an aspect of another culture from an emic (insider’s) perspective. You do not have to do research beyond reading your chosen article; however, if you do choose to conduct additional research make sure to use reputable statistics and/or scholarly sources to support any factual statements. Do not rely upon personal experience or opinion.

    Here is an Example of Part II.

    Helpful

    • This section should be two- to two-and-a-half pages in length.

    • Use what you learned in the “Locating Scholarly Sources” assignment from Week Two to find your

      source in the Ashford University Library.

    • Weight your discussion evenly between Parts I and II. Do not let one discussion overshadow the other.

    • Demonstrate a culturally relativistic perspective throughout this section. Do not use opinionated or

      judgmental language.

    • Use the article you have chosen to guide your own description. How would an anthropologist describe the

      topic you have chosen?

    • Review the In-Text Citation Guide. Use in-text citations every time you include information you learned

      from one of your sources.

      Conclusion

      End with a concluding paragraph that reinforces your thesis. Summarize and tie together your main points for the reader. Provide a brief self-reflexive analysis of what you learned while writing this paper.

      Here is an Example of Conclusion.

      Helpful Tips

      • Review Introductions and Conclusions. Your conclusion should be one paragraph.

      • The conclusion should relate back to your introduction and thesis statement. Reiterate what you have

        covered in the paper.

      • Incorporate some of your self-reflexive analysis from the Self-Reflexive Journal entry you created in

        Week Four.

      • Must describe an aspect of another culture from an emic perspective for Part II.
