Critical Thinking and Paragraph Development 1.

In the essay Thoughts of Restitution, Randall Robinson argues that There is no linear solution to any of our problems, for our problems are not merely technical in nature. By now, after 380 years of unrelenting psychological abuse, the biggest part of our problem is inside us: in how we have come to see ourselves, in our damaged capacity to validate a course for ourselves without outside approval. How does this correlate to what Dates and Barlow argue about cultural dominance and the mass media as producers and transmitters of ideologies? 2. Explain at least two of the paragraph developmental strategies Randall uses in his essay. Provide examples that illustrate how he uses these strategies. 3. How does Robinson craft his introduction in his essay? Which approach does he take to introduce his topic? Does he use more than one introductory strategy? If so, what were they? Explain whether or not his approach was effective. 4. How does Robinson conclude his essay? Which approach does he take to introduce his topic? Does he use more than one closing strategy? If so, what were they? Explain whether or not his approach was effective.
