    Instructions: You w<\/span>ill craft a Cr<\/span>itic<\/span>al Discourse Analysis<\/span> <\/span>(CDA) of t<\/span>opic<\/span>s within 2 of your recent readings. The topics you c<\/span>hoose to focus on are very lar<\/span>ge<\/span> ideas bu<\/span>t this is a short paper, so you will have to <\/div>\n
    be diligent in focusing very closely on your chosen t<\/span>opic<\/span> t<\/span>o capture it succinc<\/span>tly and <\/span>w<\/span>ith strong, <\/div>\n
    accurate, dynamic<\/span> writing. There is no way to cover the breadth nor depth o<\/span>f any giv<\/span>en top<\/span>ic <\/div>\n
    here, but the short format allows us to c<\/span>apture a tight assess<\/span>m<\/span>ent of what are the most <\/div>\n
    important, c<\/span>rucial, and critical aspect(s)<\/span> of your cho<\/span>sen topic. <\/span><\/div>\n
    *You <\/span>can c<\/span>hoose from <\/span>any of th<\/span>e readings <\/span>that <\/span>are published <\/span>on the <\/span>Canvas m<\/span>odules, apart <\/span>from <\/div>\n
    the Guajardo & Guajardo short article. <\/span><\/div>\n
    Instructions: <\/span><\/div>\n
    1. <\/span>Choose <\/span>your <\/span>2<\/span> <\/span>readings; <\/span>Read <\/span>them <\/span>closely. <\/span>Wha<\/span>t <\/span>is <\/span>the <\/span>to<\/span>pic <\/span>at <\/span>hand? <\/span>What <\/span>is <\/span>the <\/span>p<\/span>roblem-<\/div>\n
    the social issue? <\/span><\/div>\n
    2. <\/span>Choose <\/span>which <\/span>“important” <\/span>aspects\/f<\/span>acto<\/span>rs\/definitions\/elements\/conc<\/span>epts\/events\/<\/span>ideas <\/span>are <\/div>\n
    central and <\/span>critical to the <\/span>problem-the <\/span>soc<\/span>ial <\/span>issue. (see <\/span>Grid of <\/span>Socio<\/span>political Regularities <\/span>image <\/div>\n
    at bottom<\/span> to help gener<\/span>ate ideas) <\/span><\/div>\n
    3. Draw upon the foll<\/span>o<\/span>wing <\/span>2<\/span> Principles of Critical Di<\/span>scourse Analysis to reflect on yo<\/span>ur cho<\/span>sen <\/span>2 <\/div>\n
    readings <\/span>and those <\/span>“im<\/span>portant” aspects <\/span>therein—<\/span>apply <\/span>BOTH Principles <\/span>1 & <\/span>2 to <\/span>BOTH of <\/span>your 2 <\/div>\n

    separately. You can al<\/span>so integrate the two readings if it makes sense to <\/span>do so.<\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n
    This assi<\/span>g<\/span>nment will chall<\/span>enge you <\/span>to distill a large topic down to <\/span>the most cri<\/span>tical and <\/div>\n

    Focus on what is crucial to <\/span>problem, and do not try to cover eve<\/span>rythin<\/span>g. <\/span><\/div>\n
    Here is an image of a hypot<\/span>hetical “grid of sociopolitical regulari<\/span>ties<\/span>” which provides <\/span>a <\/div>\n

    behave like<\/span> weather patterns<\/span>—<\/span>pushing togethe<\/span>r and pulling apart with forces, pressures, <\/div>\n
