This paper should be a page and a half long and SINGLE-SPACED (a little over 550 words) You do not need to cite anything, as it is solely opinion-based. It is based on the American Anthropological Association Statement on “Race” (May 17, 1998) I will attach a link below so you can access the reading efficiently. It should NOT be a summary of what is stated but instead, it SHOULD be about your OPINION/STANCE of what is claimed by the association — it should be about how you take it/what you believe. Do you agree with the claims mentioned? Why or Why not? How do they vary in their approaches to the study of “race?’ What do you think about this? What about the representation of the general contemporary thinking and scholarly positions of a majority of anthropologists? What do you think about this, do you agree/is it justified? Why is this statement important? Among other questions. (These are just questions to get you going… the statement/document makes other points.. assertions) You must read and interpret them, state them and then offer your opinion. The assignment should address all the association’s points, but most of all, set forward your opinion on all their claims — your CRITICAL EVALUATION of them. You should read the article and get an idea before writing.
The response should be a well-captivated stance on what is claimed, with GOOD POINTS to back up your words. It should reflect careful and CRITICAL READING of the article and nothing less.
This SHOULD be clear, elaborate and FORMAL writing.
Please read THOROUGHLY before writing and offering your opinion and write formally with no grammar/punctuation mistakes and good sentence structure.
Must be a page and a half long. Singe-Spaced. Link for full reading is below; I put two ways to access the reading, use whichever is better for you.
