Overview
MIND MAP or GRAPHIC ORGANIZER (1 PAGE) AND WRITE UP (3 PAGE SUMMARY)
ASSIGNMENT:
One of the main themes of this course is how eco-social justice issues are connected. In this unit we had a quick introduction to the idea that animal rights and women’s rights are connected. How true is this argument? To what extent are the rights of animals and women connected? Why are they connected?
Instructions
- Answer the questions: To what extent are the rights of animals and women connected? Why are they connected?
- Remember that a “to what extent” argument is asking you to make a judgement about “how much” – a little, somewhat, significantly, a lot? Back up your arguments with examples.
- Research these questions after reviewing what you already learned in this unit. Some good Google searches to get you started are:
- i. Ecofeminism
- ii. Animal rights and feminism
- iii. Animals and female oppression connections
- STRUCTURE OF ASSIGNMENT IS IN THE FORM OF A MIND MAPPING
- ON A SECOND PAGE COULD YOU do a write up explaining the mind map in 2 page summary explaining the information so it can be verbally presented.
