Analyze the role of any character in Monkey Beach. Consider the characters spoken language, how Robinson describes and details the characters behaviour or interiority, and the ultimate function of the character over the course of the novel. This is not meant to simply be a representation of the character. Rather, the analysis of the character is meant to say something potent concerning the character and his/her role to the larger project of the novel.
Answer the following question in one essay:
How are the economic, cultural and political dimensions of globalization connected? In your opinion, which
connection is most important? Why?
Hints: There is no right or wrong answer to this question, but your discussion needs to reflect a clear
understanding of each of the three dimension of globalization. You should also make an argument, i.e. have
a thesis, and discuss supporting and contradictory evidence.
Required length: 3 pages, plus a separate Works Cited/ Reference page (typed, 1.5 spaced, standard font and
margins). You may go over length, but no more than 5 pages.
Required sources: You need to utilize the course readings and lectures from Topics 2-4. Specifically, you need
to integrate
–at least 4 lectures
— the Steger textbook
— least 5 other articles that are assigned for this class:
At least 2 from the economic dimension of globalization,
At least 2 from the cultural dimension of globalization
At least 1 from the political dimension.
— In addition, you may also integrate any videos assigned or shown in class.

Your grade will be determined based on how well it satisfies the following criteria:
1. The strength of your thesis and argument.
2. Effectiveness of integration of course readings, videos and lectures.
3. Correct format, correct grammar/spelling and correct citations.
Correct formatting: use of standard font and standard margins, including page numbers.
Correct grammar/spelling: your paper was proofread and is free from grammatical and spelling errors.

Cited, Bibliography) lists your sources. Papers with major citation problems and those lacking a reference
page will receive an automatic D. Papers without citations will automatically receive an F.
Be analytical, not descriptive! Present a thesis and make an argument. (Note: you should also include a
counter-argument and convince the reader of why your argument/thesis is the stronger one)
o Organize your paper! Your paper should be divided into three parts: an introduction, a discussion and a
conclusion. In the introduction, you should introduce the basic topic and spell out what your paper seeks
to accomplish. Your introduction should also present a thesis and convey the basic points of the argument,
as well as tell the reader how your argument is organized. The discussion, then, explores the issue(s) in
details, presenting two (or more) sides of the issue at hand and revealing how and why you developed
your thesis. The concluding section of your paper summarizes the key points and might offer some
additional remarks. It is strongly recommended that you make an outline before you begin writing.
IMPORTANT: As discussed above, cite your sources!
Compare one male sporting event with the same female sporting event somewhere in the United States (soccer for example) while addressing, afterwards, the following issues: From your observations of the two sporting events, as well as your own experiences, what are the similarities and differences in the ways that American male athletes and female athletes think about sports, play sports, and reap rewards from sports? What are the similarities and differences in the ways that coaches coach, fans support, and the sports media cover male athletics and female athletics, and to what degree, if at all, do these shape the way that male athletes and female athletes experience sports? Finally, which of the two sport experiences do you prefer and what, if anything, do you think male athletes can learn from the way female athletes experience sports, and what can female athletes learn from the way male athletes experience sports? You can watch the sporting events in person, on TV, or online.
