Brief Assignment 2

Hello Everyone,
Just a brief reminder that BA #2 is due, turned in to RaiderWriter, by midnight Monday night.

The instructions for this assignment are :
Description: In a 300-500 word essay, address one of the following prompts:
o In “The Holocaust” (363-365), Bruno Bettelheim confronts terminology that has become part of our vocabulary, part of recent history. Why does Bettelheim object to the use of the term holocaust? Do you agree or disagree with his objection? Why, or why not? In addition, review the “Language as Power” section in the text (194-199). What view(s) of language does Bettelheim’s essay reflect?
o In “Learning the Language” (367-369), Perri Klass states that in learning this new language she is also absorbing “the logic, the attitudes.” Give some examples of doctors’ attitudes and explain how these attitudes are revealed in their use of language. In addition, review the “Language as Power” section in the text (194-199). What view(s) of language does Klass’s essay reflect?

Please respond to one of the above prompts, ensuring that you have answered EACH part of the question. It should take at least 300 words to completely fulfill these requirements.

For our next class, please be sure to have read Chapter 11 (pages 391-433) in our textbook, and Chapter 3 (pages 36-48) in our handbook.
