2E(you don’t need to write). In Unit 1, we considered questions about the relationship between education and work, specifically focusing on how our education can help us fashion our identities, use available resources, and find meaning in work. In Unit 2, we’ve taken a closer look at the ideas of a smaller group of authors about the current factors and obstacles shaping our academic, professional, and personal lives.
Using at least one of the Unit 2 authors and one additional source(not outside source but the unit 1 source i uploaded): 1) analyze the arguments in the course conversation about whichever theme you find appealing—e.g., personal, professional, or financial success, the successful approaches to the twenty-first century, and so on; then 2) suggest a gap in the current conversation, and 3) make the move to add to the conversation.
As with Unit 1, this paper must be able to be understood by those who have not read the authors you discuss. Be sure to articulate clearly how your work is making an original contribution to the ongoing academic conversation in our course texts. In addition to the Unit 2 texts, you may also draw on any Unit 1 material, but you may not draw on outside sources.
