Du Bois, Mitsuye Endo, Hannah Arendt, or Cesar Chavez. For this assignment, examine the life and actions of one of these individuals and then answer the following questions:
What value(s) did your research subject demonstrate?
How did this value help them become a moral agent of change?
What can we learn from this model citizen?
How can we use our choices and behaviors to set positive examples for others?
How might ordinary citizens become extraordinary moral agents of change?
OR
Option Two:
Subject to the note above, for this assignment, students will want to read and reference the following article.
What Truth Looks Like, Bryan Appleyard, New Statesmen, 2018
In the article by Bryan Appleyard, the author examines Derek Parfit’s use of photography to explore morality. For this assignment, you will emulate Parfit’s search for morality through photography and the portrayal of images. Find or create an image, or two, and compose an essay of no less than 600 words in which you connect the assigned course readings on values, with an individual acting as an agent of moral change. Be certain to help your reader understand how your image captures this week’s lesson on individuals as agents of moral change. Be certain to share your image(s) on your assignment post.
You can create your own photographs or find images from noted museums.
