This exаm questiоn is the sаme аs yоur Weekly Assignment оn Afrocentricity. Please reproduce this assignment for this final exam. Assignment Directions: Afrocentricity is a theory, but like our Cultural Studies chapter does appear more like an approach or worldview in a way distinct from other theories we've learned thus far. 1) First, read this brief background on former Archbishop of South Africa, Desmond Tutu. Tutu was Archbishop during the period of South African apartheid. The background includes a brief explainer on apartheid as well. Desmond Tutu was Archbishop of Cape Town, South Africa from 1986 to 1996. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984. Archbishop Tutu was globally renowned for his fight against white, South African apartheid. Apartheid is a political, social, and economic system whereby a minority group hold power and disenfranchise a majority group. Disenfranchisement includes refusal of human rights, implementation of unequal laws, and the imposition of segregation. Apartheid is a racialized system, driven by motives of one group to dominant another group. In South Africa, Dutch, White South Africans had colonized South Africa since the 1600s and later instituted a system of apartheid over Indigenous, Black South Africans. This system of apartheid was in place effectively between 1948 to 1996 when it was abolished. From the 1950s onwards, international groups followed the requests of Black South African peoples to impose sanctions on South Africa according to the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction (BDS) movement in order to end the South African apartheid system. In 1986, Archbishop Desmond Tutu spoke at Stanford University to call on U.S. Americans to join BDS and the wider fight to end South African apartheid. 2) Next, view this video, which includes clips of former Archbishop of South Africa, Desmond Tutu’s, speech at Stanford University. 3) Please only answer the prompt according to the clips in the video I have posted. Do not draw on Tutu’s longer speech at Stanford University or other speeches. How does this speech perform Afrocentrism? That is, how does this speech—either its message or its performance—articulate the main goal of Afrocentricity, or “liberating the African diaspora from Eurocentric ways of thinking?” Your answer should draw from as many aspects of Afrocentricity as possible, including core assumptions of Afrocentricity, principles of Afrocentric communication, concepts of Afrocentricity, or tools of Afrocentricity. Your answer must include at least three ways that this speech performs Afrocentrism.
Cheri recently stаrted dаting Briаn. Whenever the twо оf them hang оut with Brian’s friends, Cheri notices that she stays more quiet and keeps to herself despite being an extroverted person. When the friends make jokes, she laughs at them even though she doesn't think they are funny. She tells her best friend, Zaynab, that it’s like she becomes a totally different person when she's around Brian’s friends. Using one of the theories discussed in the course, Co-Cultural Theory, Feminist Standpoint Theory, or Communication Accommodation Theory, 1) explain why Cheri may be changing her behavior when around her boyfriend’s friends. 2) Identify the theory you will be using and 3) include specific elements of that theory in your answer. Your answer should be between 4 and 8 sentences.
