I do NOT want synopsis of the movie or show. I’ve usually seen them.
I AM looking for how the movie/show relates to class. Give me specific events, terms, ideas, beliefs that relate directly to class, with examples and discussion. Tell me how the class helped you better understand what you were watching, and how what you were watching helped you better understand the class. Be sure to discuss the religous elements, especially how they impact the society and worldview.

Instructions
Submit your final essay here. All work is screened for plagiarism.
The essay should be approximately 1500 words.
It MUST include MLA in-text citations for your primary text and 2 outside sources as well as an MLA Works Cited. Please consult Purdue OWL for help with both of these requirements.
Texts to pick from:
For the text you will focus on, you could pick something outside of the course you want to write about, but most students choose one of the readings they did a weekly “summary-response” on and do some additional research to dive deeper into that text. So, for example, students might write about the Lebanese movie The Insult, but this time read additional articles about the historical context of Palestine and Lebanon.
In other words, you can go back to a weekly response that you had more questions about or wanted to understand better out of personal curiosity. That makes it a little easier in a short semester than starting a whole new project, but you can also choose a text outside of our readings.
Please review the attached rubric.

-Use the JSTOR research database (CSU library barcode needed) to identify an article/research study by a Black Psychologist from the Radical School (i.e., Akbar, Nobles, Myers, Kambon, White, Azibo, et al.) and based on the subject and arguments made, why in your view does this article fall within the Radical School of Black Psychology? (If needed, see the “Directions for Accessing JSTOR at CSU H.Q. Brown Library” resource)
