Weekly
Discussion Board posts:
Each student
must submit ONE weekly discussion board post on assigned readings every week.
The posts must be within 100-250 words range. They will be due every Tuesday by
5pm Sep 20 onward.
1) Pick any one
key concept/theme addressed in the assigned readings for the day.
2) Include one
quotation from the readings specified in the weekly module that you think your
classmates would benefit from revisiting and discussing. Explain the
significance of the quote―i.e. what is most interesting about it in relation to
feminism or gender and/or social justice under discussion in this course. You
may also connect it to other related issues or cases that we have discussed in
this course and you observe in the world today.
3) Raise one or two broad questions that emerge from the
readings. Fact-based questions (e.g. When was World War I?) do not count.
However, you may raise a fact-based question you want clarified in addition to
the other questions.
1. Pick one key concept /theme
addressed in the assigned readings for the day;Over the past decade, the number
of women in the military has increased. Women are now serving in all but a few
branches and have begun to reach new heights. They serve as Army Rangers, Navy
SEALs, and Marine Corps foot soldiers. Women are working at some of the most
important military posts and leading operations from behind the scenes. Their
role within the military has been changing rapidly and dramatically in the last
two decades, particularly due to the removal of the combat exclusion for women
in the military.
