ESSAY PROMPT: Select a country or culture other than your own. Write a comparison/contrast essay that compares what some people think about that country or culture versus the truth. Your thesis should dispel these stereotypes and alert the reader to the truth regarding this country or culture. Note: DO NOT hand in an essay that maligns, insults, degrades, denigrates, or stereotypes a group of people in ANY way. The purpose of this paper is to dispel stereotypes and write about your chosen group in a positive and realistic manner. SOURCES: You must include three sources in this paper. Your sources must come from interviews. You may interview friends, family, classmates, whomever you like. Tips:  You may want to interview people via email so that you can get their statements in writing.  Consider interviewing people who are not part of the group you are writing about and record their potentially stereotyped beliefs about that group.  Also consider interviewing people who ARE part of that group and record their accounts dispelling those stereotypes. Your third source may be a book or article from the library databases if you so choose. It CANNOT be an internet source. You are now an expert at parenthetical citation. For this essay, you will also be able to demonstrate that you are an expert at paraphrasing (if you choose to do so).
