Consider the various perspectives on humor that we have read and discussed. Choose one question among the several that have arisen. To write your Summary & Synthesis essay, articulate a level-three question that you see highlighted in our course texts. Summarize and synthesize the conversation that three authors would have about this controlling question. (The controlling question is “How does a joke positively or negatively affect different society groups or different people from different cultural backgrounds ”, and you can modify this question appropriately to make a more open-ended question. )
A successful essay will be organized effectively around a clearly articulated question or idea; will summarize arguments concisely and accurately; will articulate clear connections between authors’ ideas; will make good use of textual evidence via quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing; and will be clearly written.

Take a look at the numerous viewpoints on humor that we’ve read and discussed. Choose one of the various questions that have arisen. Write your Summary & Synthesis essay by articulating a level-three question that you see highlighted in our course materials. Summarize and synthesize the conversation between three authors about this dominating question. (The guiding question is “How does a joke influence different society groups or different persons from diverse cultural backgrounds?” You can adapt this question suitably to make it more open-ended.)
