How do the articles demonstrate any of the concepts in du Pré or do you find a deviation from how they are represented?
response paper
Read Chapter Seven of the du Pre textbook along with the Douglas Bruce et al. article “Preferences for
Medical Marijuana” and the New York Times article “Labels like Alternative Medicine Don’t Matter: The
Science Does.”
2) Consider the concepts described in Chapter 7, particularly “Culture,” “Reflective Negotiation Model,” the
“organic model,” “the harmonic balance perspective,” “yin and yang” energy, “stigma,” “placebo” or
whatever concepts from the chapter you think are most interesting/relevant to your reading of the text(s).
3) You must draw explicit references from both the textbook and one of the articles. Cite appropriately.
4) How do the articles demonstrate any of the concepts in du Pré or do you find a deviation from how they are
represented?
a. Consider some of the themes brought up through class discussion or from your own experiences.
b. Compare and contrast the way textbook author du Pré describes culture and the way cultural
norms are suggested in either of the articles.
5) If you can think of an analogy from popular culture (such as film or television) or from your personal
observations that connect to this concept, please include a brief reference.
6) Be sure to provide your personal commentary in this paper. Do not simply summarize.
7) Give your paper a creative title.
8) Organization counts – even in a brief paper, there should be some structure that guides the reader through
your thinking: attention-getter, preview, transitions between paragraphs, a brief (1-2 sentence) summary
conclusion.
9) Grammar and spelling count – you might choose a very interesting focus, but if I struggle through reading
your description, you won’t receive a very strong grade. So be sure to proofread your paper or, even better,
