Assessment 1 Reflective Journal The purpose of this assessment exercise is twofold: first, it aims to get you to think critically about several key issues raised in your readings and the accompanying lectures; second, it aims to get you to begin using the critical terminology you have encountered in your readings and the accompanying lectures. Thinking critically means thinking in a way that demands and seeks clarity of ideas, precision with definitions, and an understanding of key presuppositions. Presuppositions are in many ways the most important focus of what critical thinking entails because it essentially demands that we interrogate what we take for granted, i.e., that which we don’t think about but nonetheless think with. Critiques of ‘white privilege’, ‘gender bias’, ‘homophobia’ and so on are all critiques of presuppositions, assumptions that are made about the world that aren’t factored into thought. When we think or say, ‘that’s no job for a woman’ (as people have said in the past about a range of professions) we are presupposing a set intrinsic limits and restrictions relating to our understanding of what being a woman entails. Overturning those assumptions has been a century long labour of critical thinking and activism. Taking that same critical mindset of refusing to accept assumptions at face value, your task with the following questions is to write short critical responses (250 words per question) that address the critical issues they raise. I have added a brief outline of the issues that I think these questions raise, but you should feel free to add your own, and to respond selectively (I don’t expect you to respond to all the issues). Question 1 (week 2) According to Nixon, we lack the representational means to represent slow forms of violence to ourselves. Why is this a problem? Issues to consider: • What does Nixon mean by representational means? • What makes slow forms of violence particularly resistant to representation? • How would things be different if we did have adequate representational means? Question 2 (Week 3) Birch says we need to need to nurture places where connection and ethical dialogue can take place. Why is this important?Issues to consider: • What does Birch mean by place? • What does Birch mean by ethical dialogue? • What does Birch mean by connection?• What will happen if we don’t nurture such places? Question 3 (Week 4) What does Moreton-Robinson mean by white sovereignty? Issues to consider: • What is meant by the term ‘sovereignty’? • Why does Moreton-Robinson use the term ‘white sovereignty’ rather than settler sovereignty, or colonial sovereignty? • Why is the issue of sovereignty a central concern for Moreton-Robinson? What other concepts does it displace or replace? Question 4 (Week 5) According to Danowski and Viveiros the anthropomorphic worldview is more respectful of the other-than-human world than the anthropocentric worldview.Issues to consider: • What do Danowski and Viveiros mean by worldview?• What is the difference (according to Danowski and Viveiros) between the anthropomorphic and the anthropocentric worldviews? • Why (according to Danowski and Viveiros) are they dialectically opposed and not simply opposites? • What is the significance (according to Danowski and Viveiros) of the difference between the anthropomorphic and the anthropocentric worldviews?

Thank you for the help, I took my time and ordered a 14 days long essay. It came much earlier, around 7 days after I ordered it. Oh, and it was good, of course. I like the writer who did that, will definitely use again.

What I received was great. I forgot to mention in the instructions field that I needed reference page and by default, there was 0 in the number of references. I was surprised to see a full-fledged reference page in my paper with relevant citations. Bravo!

When I first discovered this website I was hesitant on whether they will deliver a plag free paper. The support team reassured me of their plagiarism policy. In deed they kept their word as the paper I got was authentic and plagiarism free.
