Username for SOC0317

Piotr,

My name is Erika Moul, and I am a student in your SOC0317 class, and I am very confused by the Misplaced Pages assignments. I have made a username (Emm66) and have gone through the tutorial, but I do not understand how you will be tracking my activity. I hope that you can clear this up for me so that I am able to meet the Sept. 21st deadline for the Wiki assignment. Also, my group members are Angela Han and Mariah J(?).

Further, when I posted my blog commentary this morning, I noticed that my comment to another student's entry from last week does not appear on the blog. Do you have record of my making a second posting last week? (I had posted it on Saturday afternoon.) If there was a computer error and you did not receive the post, is there any way that I can make it up? If not, how will this affect my grade? Since the blog comments are 50% of our grade, I am very concerned about this matter. Thank you for your understanding - please advise.

Thank you for your time and attention. Sincerely, Erika Moul username: Emm66 | email: emm66@pitt.edu

Group 2 Article & Plan

Hello!

As we asked you in class - we would like to do Deviant Subculture. I made an article for it since there was none on Misplaced Pages - I am not sure if it will still be there because some speedy removal alert came up and I am unsure of how to address it, I added some headings to it.

Here is our preliminary plan for completing the article. As we complete the preliminary research we will further refine the outline and plan of action.

Overall/General Information

Definition

What makes a culture/group deviant

Examples

Past prime examples

Current prime examples

Prime examples of movements

Effect of Globalization

Discussion of what made prime examples prime and not present

Increase in tolerance

Strengthening of Groups

Networking

Strength in numbers

Global movements

We have divided preliminary research in the following way:

John - Overall definition and ways to categorize.

Kate - past examples of deviant subcultures and social movements.

Ragini - Present examples of deviant subcultures and movements.

Jessica - Present examples of deviant subcultures and movements.

Melissa - tolerance and networking.

Everybody will look for information and examples dealing with globalization.

Please let us know if this article and plan are acceptable!

Thank you Rgg6 (talk) 04:12, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Piotrus, the article almost got deleted because there was essentially no content beyond the definition. (I declined it, & added an underconstruction tag.) It would probably be of some help to try to have at least an initial paragraph and a general reference at the start. DGG ( talk ) 05:34, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi, we actually found an article "counterculture" which was essentially our topic.

We would like to switch to:

Topic: First World http://en.wikipedia.org/First_world

1. Overall Information a. Definition of a first world country i. GDP, GNP, prosperity – other number based quantities 2. Three World Model a. Origins b. Changes c. Relationship b/n the First World and the 2nd and 3rd floors 3. First World pre 1914 4. First World post 1914 5. Recent ( based on research – what do experts consider recent) changes in countries belonging to First World a. Globalization i. Pros- examples 1. Free trade ii. Cons - examples 1. Specialization can lead to people losing jobs b. Ascension and descent of certain countries in and out i. General information – why membership changes ii. Examples 1. Reasons particular to the country (as opposed to the general reasons listed above)

Division of Work among Group Members: Melissa – Overall Information, recent examples of countries entering or leaving first world Ragini – three world model Jessica F – first world pre 1914 Kate – first world post 1914 John Adams – globalization in connection with First World

Group 4 Plan, Pax Mongolica

Here is group four's flexible plan: We are expanding a stub on Pax Mongolica. The outline for the article is: 1. Introduction to the subject and academic term; 2. Rise and early years of the Pax Mongolica; 3. General Pax Mongolica period (what was covered in Before European Hegemony basically); 4. Latter years and "decline" of Pax Mongolica One person will work on part 1 and this same person will work on part 2; Two persons will work on part 2; Two persons will work on part 3 because it will be the bulk of the article; One person will work on part 4. As of now our plan is to have Stefan work on parts 1&2, Sean will work on part 2, Carly and Lauren will work on part 3, and Jessica will work on part 4. We have picked out several books to help us with our research and will use these appropriately. Gxlarson (talk) 04:38, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Eric: Definition of the Semi-periphery

Pat: Semi-periphery countries in the 13th century

Dan: Semi-periphery countries from the 13th to today

John: Semi-periphery countries Today

Chazz: Transitional Effects on Exising Systems

Thank you, Piotrus. I've had two articles on the Did you know page before. I don't know how to nominate an article and I thought the creator of the article couldn't nominate it. Thank You--David (talk) 15:23, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Group 6

Hello, our group will be covering the topic of proto globalization. (talk) 04:32, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Re:GA assignment

Food power was recently redirected to Embargo, and Deviant subculture has a PROD tag. Group 7 might also pick a more concise title (like "Gender in Chinese globalization" or something similar). Other than that, things are looking good. Should be an interesting term. Cheers, Nikkimaria (talk) 21:46, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

It has the potential to work as an encyclopedic article, but if it isn't well-done it definitely won't work. Depending on how able you think they are, you can either let them try it or suggest another topic. It's tricky, but it might turn out fine. The problem here is that the chance that it won't work - especially given their inexperience - is higher than the chance that it will. Short answer is, it's your call - let them try, or don't. Nikkimaria (talk) 22:26, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

That would work (I'd suggest calling it "Chinese globalization" or "Globalization in China"), but you're right - it would be very broad, and as a result unlikely to achieve GA without an incredible amount of work. It's a question of balance - the gender topic is narrower, but this one is easier to find good encyclopedic information for. 23:51, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Group 1 : Polyethnicity plan / mini-outline

We first decided to create headlines we would like to fill in, so we came up with:

Defining Poly ethnicity

basic concept

Conceptual History

the history of the concept, its origins, etc

Polyethnicity throughout History

a lot of what we have read in the book thus far, as well as other significant examples

Poly ethnicity and Ethnic Identity

this will highlight how widespread polyethnicity is, but how cultures are able to retain ethnic identity. This could ultimate feed into the idea of homogeneity

The Assimilation of Ethnicities

this will discuss how it is possible for some cultures to eventually assimilate, or combine. Specific examples will be given

To begin our research, we are all meeting at the Hillman Library and pulling many books that have polyethnic concepts in them. Once we get a solid amount of books, we are going to divide up all the reading between the group, note everything (including page numbers and whatnot), and then meet up to see what we have.

The other thing we will have to do (hopefully you can direct us here) is rename the article on Misplaced Pages. Currently, it is found under Polyethnicity. This could problematic, because "polyethnicity" does not actually seem to exist as a word. I am not really sure if we do anything about that. The word that does actually exist is polyethnic.

Extra Credit

I made some edits to my old high school's wiki. I added a lot of references within the athletics section, as well added a new tidbit.
