Assignment: The Opposite of Hate- Major Writing

Our next writing assignment will tie into an idea or theme drawn from either Chapter 2 (How We Hate: The Former Terrorist), Chapter 3 (Hating is Belonging: The Ex-White Supremacist), or both chapters. You will shape your writing for an academic rhetorical situation, with an academic audience. You may either

I. Inform an academic audience about scholarly research on your topic, OR

II. Research a controversy on your topic, and use scholarly research to explore multiple sides of the issue, ultimately arguing in support of your own position in this controversy.

Some possible topics to get you started:

1) an exploration of our discussion topic from Chapter 2, Kohn's statement that "[h]aving reasons to hate doesn't make hate reasonable" (70).

2) Fromm's "rational, reactive" versus "character-conditioned" hate

3) the Palestinian/Israeli conflict itself, or perhaps a subtopic such as examining the legality and/or ethics of Israeli settlements in occupied territories or the history behind the establishment of the state of Israel

4) an in-depth analysis of Sherif's Robbers Cave study (or any other research project that Kohn describes in Chapters 2 and/or 3), its implications, and its influence on subsequent research

5) connections-spaces and their role(s) in promoting healing and community

6) a profile of a particular white supremacist or other extremist group, such as its history, current status, major figures, recent activities, etc.

7) another topic of your choice from Chapter 2, Chapter 3, or both chapters!

Expectations - to get a passing grade on this SA, you should do the following:

1) Write an informative research paper that provides an overview of some of the research, controversies, and/or issues about your chosen topic and takes an objective, neutral stance (it would be appropriate, however, to evaluate the merits of and/or critique a specific research study, if you wish). You are reporting out on a topic of interest, NOT establishing a claim or position!...OR

2) Write an inquiry research paper that asks a central question about a topic, reviews a variety of perspectives and research with a balanced eye, and answers the question...OR

3) Write an argumentative research paper that describes a controversy on which you take a position, and then examine arguments and evidence both in support of and in opposition to your position
