Assignment
Critical thinking is the process of actively applying analyzing and evaluating information gathered from observation, experience or communication and can be a guide to belief and action.  In order to complete this assignment, I would like you to complete an annotated bibliography and opinion paper on any topic covered by this class.  Consult the PowerPoints and your book for ideas.
Don’t over analyze this – you are very opinionated even if you don’t think you are.  If I say to you “Popeye’s has the best fried chicken in the world”, you immediately think yes, no or I don’t know and you have a reason for this.  Maybe you tried it or maybe you like the commercials, and that has influenced you.  In a way, this is critical thinking at a very base level.  For this assignment, pick something you feel strongly about and then research it.  I have had students submit successful papers with completely opposite opinions to me because they showed how they came to their opinions.  If you have been in debate club or even a heated argument, you will have experiences this.
 
 What you turn into me

  • Annotated bibliography for 10 sources
    • Cite source using any method such as APA – videos, news articles, etc can cut and past URL
    • Summarize your source 1 to 2 paragraphs
  • Opinion paper based on your 10 sources – 3 to 5 pages double spaced 12 point font normal margins

 
Here are some examples of submitted work to give you a feel for this

Just a final note about this process.  I use annotated bibliographies in my research, we usually call them literature reviews.  If you are writing a thesis or dissertation, you want to know what is published about the subject before you submit your results.  Below is a literature review that I conducted in grad school.  Be aware that I formalized this as another professor wanted the results and so I am writing it that way.  Usually my literature reviews are written for me only and are a mess.  You can write your annotated bibliography for yourself, you can use bullet points if you like.  Also, if you are using a book, you only need to use the chapters required, you don’t need to summarize the entire book.

To access the movie, you can go to the HCCS library anthropology page, link below and using the search bar at the very top of the page to search the entire library, type “becoming human”, this will give you a list of results, the first result gives you a page that contains links to all 3 movies at the very bottom.  If you click on a link it launches Kaltura and the movie.

This is available on the hccs.edu library website – you can search for becoming human and should be able to link to a kaltura streaming version.  It was originally a PBS production at https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/evolution/becoming-human.html.  Please be sure you are watching Part One subtitled “First steps” for this assignment as there are 3 parts.  Upload your answers onto Canvas as if you were doing a homework.
 

  1. How did they date the child’s skull (Selam) that they found and what species is Selam?

 
 

  1. How old was she when she died and how do they know this?

 
 

  1. What bones confirm that Selam is bipedal and what are some of the theories that this movie mentions that try to explain why we are bipedal?

 
 

  1. What was the environment like for Selam and her family and how do we know that?

 
 

  1. What technique did they use to find when chimps and apes (humans) diverged from a common ancestor?

 
 

  1. How old is the fossil found in Chad and what part of the skeleton did they find?

 
 

  1. How did they find out of the Chad fossil is bipedal?

 
 

  1. Darwin thought that coming out of the trees led to bipedalism and bipedalism led to larger brains but the skeletons don’t show that bipedalism necessarily led to larger brains as many species survived and thrived and brain size didn’t change for 4 million years (Lucy, Chad skeleton, etc.), so why do adult humans have larger brains than chimps and is Selam’s brain more like a human or a chimps?

 
 

  1. Why is the genus Homo habilis from 2 MYA nicknamed handy man and how do we know that stone tools were used?

 
 

  1. What are some of the changes to the Homo habilis brain?

 
 

  1. 2 million years ago what jump started human evolution including al Larger brain and tool making? How do scientists prove that this occurred?

International Health Education

Select a country you do not live in to research its culture, history, and common health-related problems. You can use a variety of literature to develop your answer.

State the health issue and identify the institution responsible for health promotion as well as the forms of media or printed materials implemented to increase health awareness (locally and globally).

In your opinion, what are the major challenges public health organizations face when addressing global health concerns?
