4-1 discussion: critical or interactionist?

Essay Help

Critical and interactionist theories of criminology offer a range of possible explanations of criminal behavior. Some of these theories vary only slightly from one another, and some are considered to be quite radical. For this discussion, you will consider what you have learned from the resources in this module and describe which theory you believe offers the best explanation of either property crime or violent crime, identifying its strengths and weaknesses, and describing a way that this theory might help criminal justice professionals reduce crime.

In your initial post, identify the critical or interactionist theory you believe offers the best explanation of either property crime or violent crime, and justify why you chose that theory. Consider the following in your response:

  • What are the strengths of this theory?
  • Which criticism of this theory do you believe is most valid?
  • Based on this theory’s explanation of possible reasons for criminal behavior, how does this theory influence the practices criminal justice professionals may use to reduce crime?
  • Use the “Critical and Interactionist Theories” resources to support your response.

For your two peer responses, respond to one peer who chose the same critical or interactionist theory and one peer who chose a different theory. (If no one chose the same theory you chose, respond to one that is similar to yours or in the same category.) In your responses, consider the following questions:

  • Is there something in their support of the theory they chose that you did not consider?
  • Which of their points make the most sense to you, even if you do not agree with the theory they chose?
  • What is another possible way their chosen theory might help criminal justice professionals reduce crime?

HIST 1302 Common Assignment - Part 2

Meets Course Learning Objectives 1, 2, and 3

Due: 11/5/23

 

This assignment is Part 2 of the HIST 1302 Common Assignment. The Common Assignment is designed to build a set of skills that students can take with them in their college career and beyond. As a whole, the Common Assignment will provide students with resources and opportunities to practice the following skills:

· The ability to read and understand primary and secondary historical sources.

· The ability to use sources to understand and expand upon the history presented in the textbook and lectures.

· The ability to create an argument and use sources to examine historical questions.

The HIST 1302 Common Assignment - Part 2 works with all three of these skills. The first section that contains the resources for the assignment, you will find resources on reading and understanding both primary and secondary sources. The History department at Weatherford College has identified the ability to read and understand these sources as a key skill needed in history, and it is one that we have determined a need to work with in our classes.

The second section is the assignment itself. You will be asked to evaluate two primary and two secondary sources and use the sources to evaluate a set of historical arguments. You will apply the skills from the resources below as well as those from the HIST 1301 Common Assignment - Part 1. The feedback you receive from this assignment will help you as you move on with the HIST 1302 Common Assignment, as you will be asked to use the abilities to read and understand sources as well as the ability to use sources to support historical arguments in Part 3.

Section 1

This section of the assignment is designed to evaluate the following skill that we look for in history:

Skill
: Applying Sources to Historical Arguments

The first skill you will use is the ability to effectively read and then demonstrate understanding of a historical source. This skill will be used in later parts of the HIST 1301 Common Assignment so that you can use sources to answer historical questions.

· Chapter 24 - The New era

· The whole chapter provides context, and the specific section to review to understand the historical context of the documents is the "Nativism and Immigration Restriction" section from pages 481-82.

·  A brief overview of the Immigration Act of 1924 can be found here: 
The Immigration Act of 1924 (The Johnson-Reed Act)
Links to an external site.

· A lighter and humorous discussion of the immigration debate in the 1920s can be found in the Crash Course US History video, 
"The Roaring 20s."

HIST 1302 Common Assignment - Fall 2023 - Part 2 INSTRUCTIONS & SOURCES

HIST 1302 Common Assignment - Part 2

Meets Course Learning Objectives 1, 2, and 3

Due: 11/5/23

 

This assignment is Part 2 of the HIST 1302 Common Assignment. The Common Assignment is designed to build a set of skills that students can take with them in their college career and beyond. As a whole, the Common Assignment will provide students with resources and opportunities to practice the following skills:

· The ability to read and understand primary and secondary historical sources.

· The ability to use sources to understand and expand upon the history presented in the textbook and lectures.

· The ability to create an argument and use sources to examine historical questions.

The HIST 1302 Common Assignment - Part 2 works with all three of these skills. The first section that contains the resources for the assignment, you will find resources on reading and understanding both primary and secondary sources. The History department at Weatherford College has identified the ability to read and understand these sources as a key skill needed in history, and it is one that we have determined a need to work with in our classes.

The second section is the assignment itself. You will be asked to evaluate two primary and two secondary sources and use the sources to evaluate a set of historical arguments. You will apply the skills from the resources below as well as those from the HIST 1301 Common Assignment - Part 1. The feedback you receive from this assignment will help you as you move on with the HIST 1302 Common Assignment, as you will be asked to use the abilities to read and understand sources as well as the ability to use sources to support historical arguments in Part 3.

Section 1

This section of the assignment is designed to evaluate the following skill that we look for in history:

Skill
: Applying Sources to Historical Arguments

The first skill you will use is the ability to effectively read and then demonstrate understanding of a historical source. This skill will be used in later parts of the HIST 1301 Common Assignment so that you can use sources to answer historical questions. 

The following resources will help you develop this skill:

Section 2

This section of the assignment contains the assignment for HIST 1302 Common Assignment - Part 2.

Assignment: 

For this assignment, you will read two primary and two secondary sources on a historical topic and then demonstrate that you understand what they are saying and can use the points made in the sources to support historical arguments. Before starting on the assignment, you should review the resources in Section 1. You are also encouraged to use those resources while you are working on the assignment.

For the HIST 1302 Common Assignment - Part 2, the sources are four documents on the immigration debate of the 1920s.


Historical Context

Before reading these documents, you need to have an understanding of the historical context. Thus, prior to starting on the two documents, you should first review the following:

· Chapter 24 - The New era

· The whole chapter provides context, and the specific section to review to understand the historical context of the documents is the "Nativism and Immigration Restriction" section from pages 481-82.

·  A brief overview of the Immigration Act of 1924 can be found here: 
The Immigration Act of 1924 (The Johnson-Reed Act)
Links to an external site.

· A lighter and humorous discussion of the immigration debate in the 1920s can be found in the Crash Course US History video, 
"The Roaring 20s."
Links to an external site.
 The specific section to watch runs from 9:39-11:13.

· [

The Documents

That historical context will help you read and understand the documents. For the assignment, you are going to be asked to read and demonstrate understanding of two primary and two secondary sources:

1.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman, "Is America Too Hospitable?" 
The Forum, October 1923, pp. 1983-1989
Links to an external site.

2.
John E. Milholland, "Immigration Hysteria in Congress" 
The Forum, January 1921, pp. 68-76

3. Ngai, Mae M. “Nationalism, Immigration Control, and the Ethnoracial Remapping of America in the 1920s.” 
OAH Magazine of History, vol. 21, no. 3, 2007, pp. 11–15.. - as this is a JSTOR article, you can access it in two ways. If you are on campus, you can use the direct link:

The Assignment

[The assignment for HIST 1302 Common Assignment - Part 2 is to use the given documents to provide arguments for a historical argument. In this case, we are using the 4 given documents as well as the resources for historical context from Section 1 to evaluate the immigration debate of the 1920s. You will need to read and understand the primary and secondary sources that you are given here. The resources above, as well as your feedback from HIST 1302 Common Assignment - Part 1 are essential in completing this step. You are not asked here to write out your understanding of the documents as you were in Part 1, but you will need to have a full understanding of the four documents to complete this assignment.

You have been given:

· One primary source document that argues against immigration in the 1920s -- Charlotte Perkins Gilman, "Is America Too Hospitable?" The Forum, October 1923, pp. 1983-1989

· One primary source document that argues for immigration in the 1920s -- John E. Milholland, "Immigration Hysteria in Congress" The Forum, January 1921, pp. 68-76

· Two secondary sources that look at the arguments for and against immigration in the 1920s -- Ngai, Mae M. “Nationalism, Immigration Control, and the Ethnoracial Remapping of America in the 1920s.” and Allerfeldt, Kristofer. “‘And We Got Here First’: Albert Johnson, National Origins and Self-Interest in the Immigration Debate of the 1920s.”

Your assignment is to lay out the arguments for and against immigration restriction in the 1920s, and you will complete it through these steps:

1. Using the sources, you will identify three major arguments for immigration restriction in the 1920s and three main ideas arguments against immigration restriction in the 1920s.

· For the three ideas of each argument, you will provide the following:

1. In which document or documents did you find the idea.

2. Either a passage or quotation that you used to identify that idea.

· With this, you need to both give the passage or quotation and provide the page number(s) where you found the passage or quotation.

2. Using that information, you will be asked to bring these ideas into two written responses, one explaining what the arguments for immigration restriction in the 1920s were and one explaining what the arguments against immigration restriction in the 1920s were.

· Each response should be 1-2 paragraphs long (around 200-400 words).

· Each will need to make direct reference to the sources given in this assignment and will need to use direct evidence in the form of quotations or direct paraphrasing from the sources.

· You are also welcome to use any other classroom resources that are in Section 1 to help explain the two positions. Any direct references or paraphrasing need to be given an in-text citation, although a Works Cited is not required for this assignment. 

3. You are NOT allowed to use any sources for this assignment outside of those given in the assignment here unless specifically allowed to by your professor. The articles here provide everything you need to complete the assignment, and no other sources or resources are allowed in completing the assignment.
