For this assignment you will find an article pertaining to food culture and some sort of change that is occurring today. You must choose a food culture outside of the U.S. You will then write a paper that summarizes the article and discusses the internal and external pressures that are changing the food custom/culture and your conclusions. You may need to seek out other sources to dig deeper into the topic and answer all the rubric points. All sources must be cited in APA format in both a list at the end of the paper and in the body of the paper.
Articles can be found in journals, good-quality magazines, and newspapers. Please use the SJSU library as your main source for articles. If you have a question about the quality of the source, please send me a message to confirm that you can use it.
Here’s an example of internal and external pressures for a fictitious topic/article:
You find an article about rising saffron prices in India. External pressures (those outside of the country) might include decreased demand from other countries and global climate changes that have lowered crop yields. Internal pressures (those within the country) might include a decreasing number of saffron growers, civil war, or issues with infrastructure such as destroyed bridges or roads.
Example of Article Discussion Paper and Rubric as attached file.
