- "Cultural studies is an innovative interdisciplinary field of research and teaching that investigates the ways in which 'culture' creates and transforms individual experiences, everyday life, social relations and power. Research and teaching in the field explores the relations between culture understood as human expressive and symbolic activities, and cultures understood as distinctive ways of life. - "Combining the strengths of the social sciences and the humanities, cultural studies draws on methods and theories from literary studies, sociology, communications studies, history, cultural anthropology, and economics. By working across the boundaries among these fields, cultural studies addresses new questions and problems of today's world. Rather than seeking answers that will hold for all time, cultural studies develops flexible tools that adapt to this rapidly changing world."

Alex does not reference Cornel West.
Alex is writing a term paper on race and the United States. Alex reads this excerpt from Cornel West's book, Race Matters (1993): "The accumulated effect of the black wounds and scars suffered in a white-dominated society is a deep-seated anger, a boiling sense of rage, and a passionate pessimism regarding America's will to justice. Under conditions of slavery and Jim Crow segregation, this anger, rage, and pessimism remained relatively muted because of a well-justified fear of brutal white retaliation. The major breakthroughs of the sixties—more psychically than politically—swept this fear away. Sadly, the combination of the market way of life, poverty-ridden conditions, black existential angst , and the lessening of fear of white authorities has directed most of the anger, rage, and despair toward fellow black citizens, especially toward black women who are the most vulnerable in our society an din black communities. Only recently has this nihilistic threat—and its ugly inhumane outlook and actions—surfaced in the larger American society. And its appearance surely reveals one of the many instances of cultural decay in a declining empire." Which of the following would count as examples of plagiarism? Select all that apply.

• But valuing freedom doesn't require absolute complacency—doing nothing about evil -"Yet no one would accuse the person who intervened to save the innocent of not loving freedom; indeed we believe a genuine love of freedom requires precisely such action—intervention. Yet when we evaluate God's goodness and inaction in the face of evil, we seem to abandon this intuitively clear sense of freedom for one that contradicts it, believing inaction to be clear evidence God loves freedom"

John Hicks explanation of why God allows evil
- "People who find life meaningless are not complaining that they cannot tell what kind of stuff their body is made out of, or that they do not know whether they are in a black hole or under the ocean. Men and women whose lives lack meaning in that sense of the word are psychotic, not just down-hearted. They mean, rather, that their lives lack significance. And to lack significance means to lack point, substance, purpose, quality, value, and direction" (37) • My life does not signify, indicate, or relate to something of real importance or value • This allows us to question whether or not it's true that someone's life lacks valuable significance • It further invites us to contemplate what makes a life "significant"? What values can we connect our lives to in order to achieve significance? What are the best aims of life?

we are pursuing the possessions that protect, please, and comfort us.... but we seem to be forgetting about the soul, about what it is for thought to open out of the soul and connect person to world in a rich, subtle, and complicated manner; about what it is to approach another person as a soul, rather than as a mere useful instrument or an obstacle to one's own plans; about what it is to talk as someone who has a soul to someone else whom one sees as similarly deep and complex.

Were the involved officers morally justified in assuming Dylan was a legitimate threat and shooting him before actually witnessing with a gun, in order to ensure their safety?
Read the following scenario and then determine which one of the questions below is an example of a philosophical question. In June 2016 Fresno, California officers pull over Dylan Noble for driving in a suspicious manner. Officers immediately draw their guns and demand Dylan put his hands up. He does not fully comply with officers' instructions, and exits his truck without being asked to do so. Dylan then walks toward officers, ignores commands to get on the ground, and yells out "I f****** hate my life" while reaching for his waistband. One officer shoots Dylan two times. When he falls to the ground they demand that he put his hands "up." When Dylan reaches again for his waistband officers fire two additional bullets into him. Officer headcam video shows that no gun or weapon was ever apparent, and that officers fired before a gun was actually seen. Dylan was not armed; he had a plastic container with molding clay in his pocket.
