Values Of Interpretive Communities
Interpretive communities have lasting effects on the lives of the people within them, changing the way they think about situations that they may face.
Many people go through multiple interpretive communities during the day, for example, a student goes through the student body, to multiple classes, to
extracurricular activities, and finally they reach their families. All of the different interpretive communities someone is a part of will help shape their
personalities as they grow up. I have been a part of many different communities as I have grown up, but the one that has influenced my life the most
has been the junior bowling program that I have been a part of for about fifteen years. The values that this group shares, shines through the children

Personal experiences can help shape the bowler or coach in the community, giving them different personalities and bowling styles. When asked,
Boudreau states that, "Failure itself pushes you back at the time, but allows you to grow and become better in the long run." Her failures are a
push for her, she strives to become a better bowler and a better person after she is forced to pick herself up from a failed attempt. When Boudreau is
faced with a failure she spends the next week or so working on a specific technique so she knows how to use it again in the future. Failures bring a
different meaning to Strehle, "my failures don't bother me too much, but if I failed because I missed a ten–pin, then I will practice a few more ten–pins
the next day". Failure brings them both to practicing and making themselves better, but each person goes about doing so in different ways. "My
past coaches and teammates, both good and bad have taught me what it means to be a bowler" (Strehle). Both coaches and players alike influence
his game and make him stronger as both a coach and a bowler himself. "I learn from the good and take from the not so good" (Strehle). Strehle
explains that as a coach in particular, he has learned from many different people, his father, for example, an amazing coach, inducted into multiple
coaching hall of fames, has shown Strehle the person he strives to become. On the other note, Strehle also says he has encountered coaches in his
career that have shown him exactly who he does not want to be, and traits he does not want to have. "You can learn just as much from a bad coach
as you can a good one" both coaches will teach you skills that will help you better yourself (Strehle). "A hands on, more aggressive coach may have
me more willing to try new things, whereas a laid back coach may make me

Interpretative and Objective Theory
Introduction Understanding the differences and similarities of interpretive and objective theory approaches is key to further expand one's knowledge
of communication studies. Author of A First Look at Communication Theory Em Griffin, describes interpretive theories as "the linguistic work of
assigning meaning or value to communicative texts; assumes that multiple meanings or truths are possible" (Griffin, p.15). He also defines objective
theory as "the assumption that truth is singular and is accessible through unbiased sensory observation; committed to uncovering cause–and–effect

Standard 4 creates a community of agreement, meaning that interpretive theory must be supported by other scholars, and must also become the subject
of widespread analysis. Standard 5 is the reform of society, and critical interpreters are reformers who can have an impact of society and generate
change. The last standard is Standard 6, and states that interpretive research must contain qualitative research; interpretive scholars use words to
support their theories by the use of textual analysis and ethnography.
So as you can see, both theories contain specific characteristics that set them apart as two different approaches to better understand communication. It is
key to remember that objective uses quantitative research, while interpretive uses qualitative research because if you can understand what the two
different types of research are, you can easily remember all of the other standards because of what the research styles are made up of.
Theoretical Orientation There are two different types of orientations that a theory can be, objective, which uses quantitative data and believes in
singular truths, and there is interpretive, which uses qualitative data and believes in multiple meanings and truths. Different types of studies can fall
under each of the two approaches, and will be seen further into the course as specific studies and theories are mentioned and examined. Some studies

The Interpretive Approach For Communication
The Interpretive Approach to Communication In communication, there are three different approaches: social science, interpretive, and critical. All
three approaches differ greatly in their paradigms, or belief systems, on how the study of communication should be approached. Of the three
approaches, the Interpretive Approach is the one that suits me the best. Why you might ask? Simply put, it just makes sense. The interpretive
Approach, also referred to as the Humanistic Approach, is looking at communication through a system of thoughts that celebrate human nature and it's
potential. Simply put, this approach looks specifically at human nature as it pertains to a specific person, or specific group, as a whole rather than the
general consensus. As with the other methods, the Interpretive Approach has it's own assumptions, theories and methods, ethical issues, and strengths
and limitations. When studying communication, there are certain assumptions to be made. These assumptions vary depending on the paradigm that the
researcher is following. In the Interpretive Approach, the major assumption is that humans construct their own reality, and researchers must tap into
and understand that reality. This could not be truer, as everyone has their own perception of the world around them and reality in general. It is also
assumed that the focus will be on the communicator. The Interpretive Approach draws focus on the creativity of humans rather than our predictability.

Essay On Interpretive Reading
Interpretive reading is very important in many ways to the modern world. Interpretive reading which forms the larger part of the art of public reading
is fun, informative, challenging but needs some day to day strategies to be successful. (39 words)
First, it is important to conduct proper research on various materials available for presentation. Proper selection of the literature to be presented sets the
base for application of other strategies that will enhance the presentation. A properly selected literature identifies with the theme of the presentation, the
purpose of the presentation, the age bracket of the audience and the expected outcome of the presentation in terms of message delivery. Proper choice of
words and phrases forms the backbone of effective communication. This is a key characteristic in many speeches of the great orators and leaders
whose words will continue to reign over generations even after they are long gone. (109 words)

It is important to know how to apply the skill in passing information. For example a supervisor in a company can apply a high tone when giving
instructions to the workers but will use a low tone in reporting to his manager. The tone of communication determines the level of control one has over
the other in communication. It brings out the inner feelings of the speaker preparing the listener for appropriate response. It is important apply tonal
variation with ultimate care to avoid sending inconsistent signals while speaking. Tonal variation is an important aspect of modern presentation as it is
used to express different moods. It is from the tonal variation of a speaker through which the audience is able to identify whether he or she is happy or
unhappy with the issue under consideration. It gives meaning to the words used and helps the listener to understand different moods of people and
then respond accordingly. (167

Theories are categorized as either interpretive or objective. A better understanding is the purpose of interpretive theories explored through text or
speech. Interpretive theories are apparent when looking at texts, meanings, value, and culture. Opposite of this is the objective theory, which seeks
accuracy. A more in depth look of objective theories will be discussed based on several scientific standards: explanation of the data, prediction of future
events, relative simplicity, hypotheses that can be tested, practical utility and quantitative research are the scientific standards. Objectivity is observed
through variables, predictions, surveys, experiments, and controlled settings. Although the listed objective standards are important, the qualitative
research portion is the most valuable.
Quantitative research is needed for the first scientific standard to exist, which is the explanation of the data. In the scientific community, quantitative
research corresponding to numbers is far more dependable than words. For instance, precision in numbers is needed in order to measure frequency. In
addition, we use numbers to measure time whether it be days, weeks, months or years. Numbers are crucial is measuring time, distance, money, weight,
and so on. Correspondingly, with numbers being very precise, there is less room for the researcher to be subjective. Numbers tend to show truth within
experiments and surveys and can somehow measure success and failures through

Interpretive Planning Paper
Interpretive planning is a process that identifies and describes significant visitor experiences in site such as a park, forest, zoo or other resource–based
recreation area; and recommends ways to provide, encourage, sustain, facilitate or otherwise assist those experiences (Harpers Ferry Center, 1998);
thus, interpretive planning teams seek to answer many questions concerning interpretive planning such as: who, what, why, where, when, and how
(Veverka Jone A., 1994; Harpers Ferry Center, 1998; Department of Tourism, 2015), which include:–Why objectives are important? –Why is this area

Descriptive (transcendental) phenomenology is a way of meaning–making by studying the phenomenon as it figures in consciousness (Giorgi, 1997).
Husserl thought that meaning–making is like a process where the consciousness starts to develop individual's reality (Smith et al., 2009). In order to
observe and describe individualВґs life world without advertently adding researcherВґs theories to findings, known facts and researcherВґs own views
must be bracketed (Giorgi, 1997; Koch 1995). Bracketing leads the researcher away from distractions and allows to concentrate on observed
phenomenon (Koch, 1995; Smith et al., 2009). However, it is argued whether it is possible to describe something without adding your own thoughts
and interpretation (Pringle, Drummond, McLafferty, & Hendry, 2011). In reality, it is difficult to study and observe something without making own

As I read, "The Dark Night of the Soul" by Richard E. Miller, I found it to be an interesting read. He inquires, why we read, why we write and what
might literate arts be said to be good for? In his essay he describes the school massacres that have occurred throughout the years. As he describes these
events, he asks a deeper question, "What is the point of continuing to read, write and learn in the face of such underlying dangers. I think that with all
that is happening, individuals/students should continue with education because reading, television, writing and communication makes a difference in
the lives of individuals around the world. The bottom line is that literary art has a way of touching students unexpectedly one way or another and
students should not just throw the art away because of society's perception.

Qualitative Interpretive Meta-Article Analysis
In the last few years, unarmed African American civilians were gunned down by police officials. These encounters left the community feeling
vulnerable to police violence and caused them to lose trust in the officers' and the justice system. Nordberg, Crawford, Praetorius, and Hatcher (2016),
article entitled "Exploring Minority Youth'sPolice Encounters: A Qualitative Interpretive Meta–synthesis" performed a qualitative interpretive
meta–synthesis to capture the experiences of the minority communities through the voices of the minority youth in describing their encounters with
police officials (p. 137). In this study, nine articles were analyzed that revealed five common themes associated with the youth experiences with police
officials. Those themes were identified as dangerous, controlling, prejudice, ineffective and dehumanization (Nordberg et al., 2016, p....show more

In all of the articles reviewed, the youth emphasizes danger, prejudice and dehumanizing encounters with police officials, seven out of the nine articles
revealed the police encounters as controlling, and six out of nine articles reported the police as being ineffective (Nordberg et al., 2016, pp. 144–145).
The minority youth experiences in these police encounters were negative and caused the youth to feel as though the police were not there to serve or
protect them from violence (Nordberg et al., 2016, pp. 144–145). This article can be of great benefit to anyone that seeks to bridge the gap between the
police department and the community. The report can help provide a better understanding of the youth encounters with police officials and inform

Sociological Approach To Deviance Essay
Exploration into the social world embarks upon the various methods and functions that are responsible for constructing the concise understandings of
sociology. The concept of deviance configures into the sociological outlook through the emancipation of social control. Hence, the factors associated
with deviant objectives immerse among the ways in which sociology is conducted. The enormity of sociological concepts happens to be broken down
into three definite approaches, which allows the fundamentals to be processed via perspective. Deviance, then can be explained within these methods
to procure the effects that each form has on social contexts. Therefore, the approaches to sociology and the forms of deviance determine significant
elements in the societal atmosphere.
As sociologists divulge into the complexities of their studies, there engages a pattern of similarities among differing areas of sociology. By close
examination of the repetitive patterns, a specific method evolves for researching and understanding that category of societal contexts. Therefore, an
evolution of three different approaches were conducted in order to achieve the extent of information available in sociology. Strategic methods allowed
multiple perspectives to examine the same content while reaching various objectives, hence acquiring numerous solutions to a singular issue. With the

The basic interpretive design best suits this research process as it seeks to explain this specific topic and explore multiple perspectives of high school
students from both countries that possess different approaches to learning and education. The basic interpretive design will be used to uncover
emergent themes within this topic through interviewing, documenting, and describing the phenomenon. I will focus on obtaining rich, descriptive
texts that will facilitate this understanding in order to make general conclusions about the emergent themes. The study of this central phenomenon in
question could not be carried out as a case study because it does not address a unique situation occurring in both countries. It is not an ethnographic
study, although it takes into account countries that have dissimilar cultures; this research will not attempt to give any sociocultural nor philosophical
interpretations and explanations of the data collected. A basic interpretive study focuses on how individuals interpret their experiences; create their
worlds, and the meanings they attribute to their experiences. Consequently, the overall purpose is to understand how high school students interpret their
experiences and whether or not those experiences have adequately prepared or inhibited their transition into undergraduate programs. The limitations of

mode is made for the readers to looking beyond what is said within the text. Use symbols and signs to figure out what the characters or the narrator is
trying to portray. Within the first five chapters, there was a theme that kept showing up. That recurring theme was the theme of "racism". There was no
instance in the story where another race showed the absolute hatred towards the black race, but there are little symbols within the first five chapters
that insist there is still racism directed at the minority race. There was an even that took place at one of Monk's paper readings and there was a guy

Interpretive Perspective On Urban Education
"If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they
learn" (Estrada, 2008). I wholeheartedly agree with this quote, as I believe that each
student is unique and has different needs, motivations, experiences, and aspirations. Yet,
it is the practice of many teachers and schools to focus on fulfilling their own needs and
preferred teaching styles to reach curriculum goals and district benchmarks that are often
controlled and regulated by politics and bureaucracy for economic reasons. Throughout

Example Of Interpretive Paradigm
5.2 Interpretive Paradigm The interpretive paradigm has its theoretical roots in hermeneutics, phenomenology and symbolic interactionism. The
qualitative research methodologies are based on interpretive research paradigm. This paradigm believes that we should conduct research to comprehend
social life and describe how people construct social meaning. It seeks to understand the meaning human actions and experiences and generate accounts
of those meanings from the perspective of the participants in the research. This approach to social science research rejects the positivist idea that the
research methods of physical sciences can be used in the social sciences to understand the human behaviour. Interpretivists argue that the fundamental

Thus, the reality as we know it is constructed through the meanings and understandings that we develop through our social experiences and
interactions. It believes that human beings are social beings who create meaning and constantly engage in making sense of their worlds. In order to
explain the social reality, Interpretivists describe how the meaning system of a group emerges and is sustained over time; and the theory contains
information that is detailed, situated in a context and involves minimal abstraction. Interpretivists consider the common sense as powerful everyday
theories that are useful in understanding people and are as much valid as science as they guide our daily lives. Interpretivists thus believe that good
evidence is one which is situated in the context of a person's social interactions, to which the meanings are assigned. Here, social dialogue is important
to generate findings and knowledge claims as it through the dialogue that conflicting interpretations emerge and negotiated between the community
members. It is through this dialectical process that we can have a better and sophisticated understanding of the social environment of the individuals.
So, it is important to foster a dialogue between the researcher and the

'The individual is relegated to being nothing more than a system outcome, not a thinking and acting human' (Bryman, 2008)
A researcher looking into the use of positivist methodology would look into the use of methods such as: survey's, questionnaires and statistic models.
They aim to identify and measure social structures; this type of research can be seen by looking into the study of Durkheim's study of suicide with
which Durkheim was referred to as a positivist. He believed that sociological theories must invest beneath the surface of phenomena and find out the
hidden underlying causes behind behaviour. He claimed that sociology and its findings should be more than that of a speculation and that it should
support its claims with evidence and statistics, Including important factors which can impact on the data which has been found. This includes taking
into account hidden factors such as; economic depression, family mortality, and the slave trade all of which have impacted in this study on the rate
of suicide. (Alcock, Margaret, Rowlingson, 2008) These methods have however been heavily criticised as being a flawed area for social research as
they are seen to exclude significant issues in which it fails to address. (Beckett, 2006) This includes the failure of taking into account essential
characteristics of human behaviour and social life which is unable to

How the use of literary devices can reveal a similar conflict
Interpretive fiction is a way of writing in which the writer's goal is to help take the reader deeper into the real world and provoke our thoughts,
broadening our awareness of life and our perspective. Many stories are examples of interpretive fiction because they give the reader not only the
fictional ideology, but also some insight on real–world issues and make the reader take the time to think about what is the big meaning behind each
and every story. Miss Brill, written by Katherine Mansfield and Identities, written by Wd Valgardson are both short stories that are examples of
interpretive fiction. Both of these stories have a deeper meaning related to the misjudgement of others, the effects it has on people, and the reality of
how people perceive the world and each other. One's self–perception differs from reality and often one only learns this reality through the collective
perceptions of the world with which we interact. Unfortunately, some of these perceptions can be guided by judgement.
Each protagonist has struggles in their lives which leads to their own motivation and their own journeys. In the story Miss Brill, her motivation comes
from her perception of her self–worth. The desire within Miss Brill to connect with others and be part of something that is "worth more" than her own
daily life, causes her to take the actions she does. Essentially, Miss Brill is content with her life, but only due to the

The case describes her determination and hard work. Raised by her mother Anne began earning her own money at the age of 15. Anne was the
first in her family to attend college and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree with a focus in finance. She understood from a young age that
work offered a direct payoff; the harder she worked the bigger her reward in the end. Anne, like me, had goals for her life. She had a direction and
path she wanted to follow and knew what she had to do to get there. She had chosen a career in private equity and knew that a person with these
aspirations spent a few years after college working and moving up within a firm before attending school. Anne was offered a position with Storrow

The Interpretive Mode Of Communication Essay
2. Interpretive Mode of Communication Interpretive Communication is a mode that relies heavily on the media to relay its message. It is one–way
receptive communication that is received by listening, reading, or viewing advertisements. Children, the most impressionable of consumers, are highly
influenced by advertisements and its particular appeal to the subconscious. The use of specific colors and licensed characters are two marketing
strategies that food marketers employ. These strategies fall into this mode of communication and influence children's opinions about brands and
products. 2a. Color Theory Color theory is a visual and psychological concept that helps explain why certain products are chosen instead of those from
competing brands. McDonald's, a fast–food–chain that has spent $528.8 million in food marketing, has specifically catered products towards children
through the use of color. In research done by Worcester Polytechnic Institute, they noted "...the use of bright colors (on products) is commonly used for
children to associate the product with fun and games. As an example, McDonald's actively uses bright colors throughout their marketing campaign and
in their restaurants in order to promote and facilitate these emotional reactions among children" (Worcester Polytechnic Institute, 2007). Marketers,
much like McDonald 's, have realized that there is a science behind specific colors and desires/moods. For instance, the color red, which is used in a

How To Interpret The Alchemist
There are lots of things that can be learned through the knowledge of one's background, beliefs, experiences, and ideology. The learning of the author
allows the readers to interpret the book differently and to help understand why certain types of literary devices were used. In the novel, The Alchemist,
it was important to know the background of the author, Paulo Coelho, before actually reading the book since it influences how a reader interprets the

The background information given to the readers help them learn about the writer and his beliefs. This helps guide the readers on a path in order to
interpret the story how the author planned it to be. During the interview, Paulo Coelho talks about being a catholic while not having it affect the way
he views the world (181). Not all religions have the same teachings but when I read the book, I felt that religion did not have a play in the story even
though it was clearly present throughout the story. Anyone can have control over their future and not have it based on fate or what "god" has already
set forth. The knowledge of the author and his background information allows the reader to put themselves in his shoes. Reading the story from a
writer's point of view allows the readers to undertand exactly what was going through the writer's mind and exactly what the writer meant when he was
writing the story. Without knowing who the author was, the story would not be properly interpreted and would not have as significant of an effect on the

Values Of Interpretive Communities

  • 1. Values Of Interpretive Communities Interpretive communities have lasting effects on the lives of the people within them, changing the way they think about situations that they may face. Many people go through multiple interpretive communities during the day, for example, a student goes through the student body, to multiple classes, to extracurricular activities, and finally they reach their families. All of the different interpretive communities someone is a part of will help shape their personalities as they grow up. I have been a part of many different communities as I have grown up, but the one that has influenced my life the most has been the junior bowling program that I have been a part of for about fifteen years. The values that this group shares, shines through the children ...show more content... Personal experiences can help shape the bowler or coach in the community, giving them different personalities and bowling styles. When asked, Boudreau states that, "Failure itself pushes you back at the time, but allows you to grow and become better in the long run." Her failures are a push for her, she strives to become a better bowler and a better person after she is forced to pick herself up from a failed attempt. When Boudreau is faced with a failure she spends the next week or so working on a specific technique so she knows how to use it again in the future. Failures bring a different meaning to Strehle, "my failures don't bother me too much, but if I failed because I missed a ten–pin, then I will practice a few more ten–pins the next day". Failure brings them both to practicing and making themselves better, but each person goes about doing so in different ways. "My past coaches and teammates, both good and bad have taught me what it means to be a bowler" (Strehle). Both coaches and players alike influence his game and make him stronger as both a coach and a bowler himself. "I learn from the good and take from the not so good" (Strehle). Strehle explains that as a coach in particular, he has learned from many different people, his father, for example, an amazing coach, inducted into multiple coaching hall of fames, has shown Strehle the person he strives to become. On the other note, Strehle also says he has encountered coaches in his career that have shown him exactly who he does not want to be, and traits he does not want to have. "You can learn just as much from a bad coach as you can a good one" both coaches will teach you skills that will help you better yourself (Strehle). "A hands on, more aggressive coach may have me more willing to try new things, whereas a laid back coach may make me Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Interpretive Theory Compared to Objective Theory Lindsey Corradino June 9, 2013 Texas Tech University Interpretative and Objective Theory Introduction Understanding the differences and similarities of interpretive and objective theory approaches is key to further expand one's knowledge of communication studies. Author of A First Look at Communication Theory Em Griffin, describes interpretive theories as "the linguistic work of assigning meaning or value to communicative texts; assumes that multiple meanings or truths are possible" (Griffin, p.15). He also defines objective theory as "the assumption that truth is singular and is accessible through unbiased sensory observation; committed to uncovering cause–and–effect ...show more content... Standard 4 creates a community of agreement, meaning that interpretive theory must be supported by other scholars, and must also become the subject of widespread analysis. Standard 5 is the reform of society, and critical interpreters are reformers who can have an impact of society and generate change. The last standard is Standard 6, and states that interpretive research must contain qualitative research; interpretive scholars use words to support their theories by the use of textual analysis and ethnography. So as you can see, both theories contain specific characteristics that set them apart as two different approaches to better understand communication. It is key to remember that objective uses quantitative research, while interpretive uses qualitative research because if you can understand what the two different types of research are, you can easily remember all of the other standards because of what the research styles are made up of. Theoretical Orientation There are two different types of orientations that a theory can be, objective, which uses quantitative data and believes in singular truths, and there is interpretive, which uses qualitative data and believes in multiple meanings and truths. Different types of studies can fall under each of the two approaches, and will be seen further into the course as specific studies and theories are mentioned and examined. Some studies could be concluded as Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. The Interpretive Approach For Communication The Interpretive Approach to Communication In communication, there are three different approaches: social science, interpretive, and critical. All three approaches differ greatly in their paradigms, or belief systems, on how the study of communication should be approached. Of the three approaches, the Interpretive Approach is the one that suits me the best. Why you might ask? Simply put, it just makes sense. The interpretive Approach, also referred to as the Humanistic Approach, is looking at communication through a system of thoughts that celebrate human nature and it's potential. Simply put, this approach looks specifically at human nature as it pertains to a specific person, or specific group, as a whole rather than the general consensus. As with the other methods, the Interpretive Approach has it's own assumptions, theories and methods, ethical issues, and strengths and limitations. When studying communication, there are certain assumptions to be made. These assumptions vary depending on the paradigm that the researcher is following. In the Interpretive Approach, the major assumption is that humans construct their own reality, and researchers must tap into and understand that reality. This could not be truer, as everyone has their own perception of the world around them and reality in general. It is also assumed that the focus will be on the communicator. The Interpretive Approach draws focus on the creativity of humans rather than our predictability. Following the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Essay On Interpretive Reading Interpretive reading is very important in many ways to the modern world. Interpretive reading which forms the larger part of the art of public reading is fun, informative, challenging but needs some day to day strategies to be successful. (39 words) First, it is important to conduct proper research on various materials available for presentation. Proper selection of the literature to be presented sets the base for application of other strategies that will enhance the presentation. A properly selected literature identifies with the theme of the presentation, the purpose of the presentation, the age bracket of the audience and the expected outcome of the presentation in terms of message delivery. Proper choice of words and phrases forms the backbone of effective communication. This is a key characteristic in many speeches of the great orators and leaders whose words will continue to reign over generations even after they are long gone. (109 words) Good understanding of the item of presentation is...show more content... It is important to know how to apply the skill in passing information. For example a supervisor in a company can apply a high tone when giving instructions to the workers but will use a low tone in reporting to his manager. The tone of communication determines the level of control one has over the other in communication. It brings out the inner feelings of the speaker preparing the listener for appropriate response. It is important apply tonal variation with ultimate care to avoid sending inconsistent signals while speaking. Tonal variation is an important aspect of modern presentation as it is used to express different moods. It is from the tonal variation of a speaker through which the audience is able to identify whether he or she is happy or unhappy with the issue under consideration. It gives meaning to the words used and helps the listener to understand different moods of people and then respond accordingly. (167 Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. Theories are categorized as either interpretive or objective. A better understanding is the purpose of interpretive theories explored through text or speech. Interpretive theories are apparent when looking at texts, meanings, value, and culture. Opposite of this is the objective theory, which seeks accuracy. A more in depth look of objective theories will be discussed based on several scientific standards: explanation of the data, prediction of future events, relative simplicity, hypotheses that can be tested, practical utility and quantitative research are the scientific standards. Objectivity is observed through variables, predictions, surveys, experiments, and controlled settings. Although the listed objective standards are important, the qualitative research portion is the most valuable. Quantitative research is needed for the first scientific standard to exist, which is the explanation of the data. In the scientific community, quantitative research corresponding to numbers is far more dependable than words. For instance, precision in numbers is needed in order to measure frequency. In addition, we use numbers to measure time whether it be days, weeks, months or years. Numbers are crucial is measuring time, distance, money, weight, and so on. Correspondingly, with numbers being very precise, there is less room for the researcher to be subjective. Numbers tend to show truth within experiments and surveys and can somehow measure success and failures through Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. Interpretive Planning Paper Interpretive planning is a process that identifies and describes significant visitor experiences in site such as a park, forest, zoo or other resource–based recreation area; and recommends ways to provide, encourage, sustain, facilitate or otherwise assist those experiences (Harpers Ferry Center, 1998); thus, interpretive planning teams seek to answer many questions concerning interpretive planning such as: who, what, why, where, when, and how (Veverka Jone A., 1994; Harpers Ferry Center, 1998; Department of Tourism, 2015), which include:–Why objectives are important? –Why is this area set aside and made accessible to the public? –What is the positioning of the tourism destination? –What are the likely and desired visitor experiences? (What will visitors want to do, feel, learn, experience; and what does the agency hope they will do, learn, etc.?)...show more content...

(What are impediments to visitor enjoyment of significant area resources and values? Should the agency match or redirect visitor's motivations and expectations? How can the agency serve diverse audiences? And which technique suits the best?) –How can the agency discourage activities that are detrimental to resources or other visitors' experiences, and promote activities that enhance resource protection and visitor enjoyment? –How can the agency meet visitor experience goals in the most cost–effective manner, considering long term costs and sustainable Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Example Of Interpretative Phenomenology This essay introduces interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), a qualitative research approach, which has recently gained popularity in health sciences (Smith, Flowers, & Larkin, 2009). The paper will start with a research question associated with health in order to give an example of forming a question in IPAresearch, and will be followed by introducing phenomenology in general and itВґs different approaches. Then, the key and the broad characteristics of IPA will be explained and brief overview of data collection methods and analysis will be introduce. Finally justification of the methodology and conclusions will be made. My qualitative research question of IPA is "How do people make sense of their life with chronic neck pain after...show more content... Descriptive (transcendental) phenomenology is a way of meaning–making by studying the phenomenon as it figures in consciousness (Giorgi, 1997). Husserl thought that meaning–making is like a process where the consciousness starts to develop individual's reality (Smith et al., 2009). In order to observe and describe individualВґs life world without advertently adding researcherВґs theories to findings, known facts and researcherВґs own views must be bracketed (Giorgi, 1997; Koch 1995). Bracketing leads the researcher away from distractions and allows to concentrate on observed phenomenon (Koch, 1995; Smith et al., 2009). However, it is argued whether it is possible to describe something without adding your own thoughts and interpretation (Pringle, Drummond, McLafferty, & Hendry, 2011). In reality, it is difficult to study and observe something without making own Get more content on HelpWriting.net

The individuals who view education as their number one priority see staying in school is important. Why is it important? Is staying in school going to benefit the student/individual? In this essay, I will explain why the literate arts are important and for what they are good. I will also give the opinions of others and what my views are. Richard Miller, the writer of " The Dark Night of The Soul" writes, " I have these doubts, you see, doubts silently shared by many who spend their days teaching others the liberate arts. Aside from gathering and analyzing information, aside from generating critiques and...show more content... As I read, "The Dark Night of the Soul" by Richard E. Miller, I found it to be an interesting read. He inquires, why we read, why we write and what might literate arts be said to be good for? In his essay he describes the school massacres that have occurred throughout the years. As he describes these events, he asks a deeper question, "What is the point of continuing to read, write and learn in the face of such underlying dangers. I think that with all that is happening, individuals/students should continue with education because reading, television, writing and communication makes a difference in the lives of individuals around the world. The bottom line is that literary art has a way of touching students unexpectedly one way or another and students should not just throw the art away because of society's perception.

  • 9. Qualitative Interpretive Meta-Article Analysis In the last few years, unarmed African American civilians were gunned down by police officials. These encounters left the community feeling vulnerable to police violence and caused them to lose trust in the officers' and the justice system. Nordberg, Crawford, Praetorius, and Hatcher (2016), article entitled "Exploring Minority Youth'sPolice Encounters: A Qualitative Interpretive Meta–synthesis" performed a qualitative interpretive meta–synthesis to capture the experiences of the minority communities through the voices of the minority youth in describing their encounters with police officials (p. 137). In this study, nine articles were analyzed that revealed five common themes associated with the youth experiences with police officials. Those themes were identified as dangerous, controlling, prejudice, ineffective and dehumanization (Nordberg et al., 2016, p....show more content... In all of the articles reviewed, the youth emphasizes danger, prejudice and dehumanizing encounters with police officials, seven out of the nine articles revealed the police encounters as controlling, and six out of nine articles reported the police as being ineffective (Nordberg et al., 2016, pp. 144–145). The minority youth experiences in these police encounters were negative and caused the youth to feel as though the police were not there to serve or protect them from violence (Nordberg et al., 2016, pp. 144–145). This article can be of great benefit to anyone that seeks to bridge the gap between the police department and the community. The report can help provide a better understanding of the youth encounters with police officials and inform authoritative officials of the current issue they face to help promote better practices amongst police Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. Sociological Approach To Deviance Essay Exploration into the social world embarks upon the various methods and functions that are responsible for constructing the concise understandings of sociology. The concept of deviance configures into the sociological outlook through the emancipation of social control. Hence, the factors associated with deviant objectives immerse among the ways in which sociology is conducted. The enormity of sociological concepts happens to be broken down into three definite approaches, which allows the fundamentals to be processed via perspective. Deviance, then can be explained within these methods to procure the effects that each form has on social contexts. Therefore, the approaches to sociology and the forms of deviance determine significant elements in the societal atmosphere. As sociologists divulge into the complexities of their studies, there engages a pattern of similarities among differing areas of sociology. By close examination of the repetitive patterns, a specific method evolves for researching and understanding that category of societal contexts. Therefore, an evolution of three different approaches were conducted in order to achieve the extent of information available in sociology. Strategic methods allowed multiple perspectives to examine the same content while reaching various objectives, hence acquiring numerous solutions to a singular issue. With the availability of a range of solutions came forth the sociological approaches: Positivist Sociology, Interpretive Sociology, Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 11. The basic interpretive design best suits this research process as it seeks to explain this specific topic and explore multiple perspectives of high school students from both countries that possess different approaches to learning and education. The basic interpretive design will be used to uncover emergent themes within this topic through interviewing, documenting, and describing the phenomenon. I will focus on obtaining rich, descriptive texts that will facilitate this understanding in order to make general conclusions about the emergent themes. The study of this central phenomenon in question could not be carried out as a case study because it does not address a unique situation occurring in both countries. It is not an ethnographic study, although it takes into account countries that have dissimilar cultures; this research will not attempt to give any sociocultural nor philosophical interpretations and explanations of the data collected. A basic interpretive study focuses on how individuals interpret their experiences; create their worlds, and the meanings they attribute to their experiences. Consequently, the overall purpose is to understand how high school students interpret their experiences and whether or not those experiences have adequately prepared or inhibited their transition into undergraduate programs. The limitations of my research design is in the collection of data, as basic interpretive studies focus on using interviews to collect data while other designs Get more content on HelpWriting.net

The allegorical and moral interpretive modes provide the readers with the best and clear insight on the story, and also both of these modes reflect each other well within the first five chapters. Beginning with the allegorical interpretive mode. This interpretive mode is made for the readers to looking beyond what is said within the text. Use symbols and signs to figure out what the characters or the narrator is trying to portray. Within the first five chapters, there was a theme that kept showing up. That recurring theme was the theme of "racism". There was no instance in the story where another race showed the absolute hatred towards the black race, but there are little symbols within the first five chapters that insist there is still racism directed at the minority race. There was an even that took place at one of Monk's paper readings and there was a guy by the name of Gimble. After Monk read off his paper, everybody in the their seats stood up and applauded him for writing such beautiful Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 13. Interpretive Perspective On Urban Education "If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn" (Estrada, 2008). I wholeheartedly agree with this quote, as I believe that each student is unique and has different needs, motivations, experiences, and aspirations. Yet, it is the practice of many teachers and schools to focus on fulfilling their own needs and preferred teaching styles to reach curriculum goals and district benchmarks that are often controlled and regulated by politics and bureaucracy for economic reasons. Throughout this quarter, my readings and reflections on class discussions have helped me to develop my thoughts, ideas, and experiences with schooling, the Charter College of Education's credential program, and the classrooms that I am currently involved in as a substitute and...show more content... I understand now that schools are carefully constructed spaces of domination and subordination that are meant to produce certain outcomes that may not be in the interest of ethnic minorities, recent immigrant families, like myself. In this comprehensive exam, I will be discussing my interpretive, normative, and critical perspectives on urban schooling.

In the section on my interpretive perspective, I will discuss the following: how the imposition of the western conceptions of time and space affect urban schooling; how education is a selective process that aids in maintaining the status quo of class division; and, how the feminization of the teaching profession continues to be dominated by a patriarchal bureaucratic Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 15. Example Of Interpretive Paradigm 5.2 Interpretive Paradigm The interpretive paradigm has its theoretical roots in hermeneutics, phenomenology and symbolic interactionism. The qualitative research methodologies are based on interpretive research paradigm. This paradigm believes that we should conduct research to comprehend social life and describe how people construct social meaning. It seeks to understand the meaning human actions and experiences and generate accounts of those meanings from the perspective of the participants in the research. This approach to social science research rejects the positivist idea that the research methods of physical sciences can be used in the social sciences to understand the human behaviour. Interpretivists argue that the fundamental causes...show more content... Thus, the reality as we know it is constructed through the meanings and understandings that we develop through our social experiences and interactions. It believes that human beings are social beings who create meaning and constantly engage in making sense of their worlds. In order to explain the social reality, Interpretivists describe how the meaning system of a group emerges and is sustained over time; and the theory contains information that is detailed, situated in a context and involves minimal abstraction. Interpretivists consider the common sense as powerful everyday theories that are useful in understanding people and are as much valid as science as they guide our daily lives. Interpretivists thus believe that good evidence is one which is situated in the context of a person's social interactions, to which the meanings are assigned. Here, social dialogue is important to generate findings and knowledge claims as it through the dialogue that conflicting interpretations emerge and negotiated between the community members. It is through this dialectical process that we can have a better and sophisticated understanding of the social environment of the individuals. So, it is important to foster a dialogue between the researcher and the Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Positivism vs Interpretivism Essay Compare and contrast positivist and interpretive perspectives underpinning social research– This essay intends to investigate by comparing and contrasting positivist and interpretive perspectives that surround social research. It will look into the use of methods such as quantitative and qualitative research and the effects and outcomes that this has in relation to social research. This will include the variations amongst them in both a positive and negative light.

'The individual is relegated to being nothing more than a system outcome, not a thinking and acting human' (Bryman, 2008) A researcher looking into the use of positivist methodology would look into the use of methods such as: survey's, questionnaires and statistic models. They aim to identify and measure social structures; this type of research can be seen by looking into the study of Durkheim's study of suicide with which Durkheim was referred to as a positivist. He believed that sociological theories must invest beneath the surface of phenomena and find out the hidden underlying causes behind behaviour. He claimed that sociology and its findings should be more than that of a speculation and that it should support its claims with evidence and statistics, Including important factors which can impact on the data which has been found. This includes taking into account hidden factors such as; economic depression, family mortality, and the slave trade all of which have impacted in this study on the rate of suicide. (Alcock, Margaret, Rowlingson, 2008) These methods have however been heavily criticised as being a flawed area for social research as they are seen to exclude significant issues in which it fails to address. (Beckett, 2006) This includes the failure of taking into account essential characteristics of human behaviour and social life which is unable to Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 17. How the use of literary devices can reveal a similar conflict Interpretive fiction is a way of writing in which the writer's goal is to help take the reader deeper into the real world and provoke our thoughts, broadening our awareness of life and our perspective. Many stories are examples of interpretive fiction because they give the reader not only the fictional ideology, but also some insight on real–world issues and make the reader take the time to think about what is the big meaning behind each and every story. Miss Brill, written by Katherine Mansfield and Identities, written by Wd Valgardson are both short stories that are examples of interpretive fiction. Both of these stories have a deeper meaning related to the misjudgement of others, the effects it has on people, and the reality of how people perceive the world and each other. One's self–perception differs from reality and often one only learns this reality through the collective perceptions of the world with which we interact. Unfortunately, some of these perceptions can be guided by judgement. Each protagonist has struggles in their lives which leads to their own motivation and their own journeys. In the story Miss Brill, her motivation comes from her perception of her self–worth. The desire within Miss Brill to connect with others and be part of something that is "worth more" than her own daily life, causes her to take the actions she does. Essentially, Miss Brill is content with her life, but only due to the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 18. Self Interpretive Essay Anne Riley Laid Off: One of the most interesting topics covered in class for me was that of emotions and moods. I have a hard time understanding when and how to express my emotions. This has been a real problem for me in all of my relationships, both professional and personal. Though I have never been laid off I feel I relate to the case of Anne Riley to some degree. Anne was able to better understand and recognize her emotions and in the long run benefited from that knowledge. The case begins with Anne Riley meeting with a recruiter from Goldman Sachs' Private Equity Group. She is hoping that this interview will eventually pay off with a permanent job upon her graduation. Throughout the case many descriptive words were used so ...show more content... The case describes her determination and hard work. Raised by her mother Anne began earning her own money at the age of 15. Anne was the first in her family to attend college and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree with a focus in finance. She understood from a young age that work offered a direct payoff; the harder she worked the bigger her reward in the end. Anne, like me, had goals for her life. She had a direction and path she wanted to follow and knew what she had to do to get there. She had chosen a career in private equity and knew that a person with these aspirations spent a few years after college working and moving up within a firm before attending school. Anne was offered a position with Storrow after a rough interview process. Anne soon relocated to a new city leaving her family, friends, and life behind her in New York. Being confident in her goals and plans Anne found a nice apartment, furnished it, and began a small family (adopted a dog). Like Anne, I too relocated to a new city in order to pursue my current job. I moved quickly leaving behind friends and relationships I had come to cherish. I moved into an apartment with my small family not knowing the area or anyone near us. I too felt confident in myself and knew I would be here for a while moving up in my career. I have invested in my education because I know that if I aspire to provide for my family I will need an education. I also will Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 19. The Interpretive Mode Of Communication Essay 2. Interpretive Mode of Communication Interpretive Communication is a mode that relies heavily on the media to relay its message. It is one–way receptive communication that is received by listening, reading, or viewing advertisements. Children, the most impressionable of consumers, are highly influenced by advertisements and its particular appeal to the subconscious. The use of specific colors and licensed characters are two marketing strategies that food marketers employ. These strategies fall into this mode of communication and influence children's opinions about brands and products. 2a. Color Theory Color theory is a visual and psychological concept that helps explain why certain products are chosen instead of those from competing brands. McDonald's, a fast–food–chain that has spent $528.8 million in food marketing, has specifically catered products towards children through the use of color. In research done by Worcester Polytechnic Institute, they noted "...the use of bright colors (on products) is commonly used for children to associate the product with fun and games. As an example, McDonald's actively uses bright colors throughout their marketing campaign and in their restaurants in order to promote and facilitate these emotional reactions among children" (Worcester Polytechnic Institute, 2007). Marketers, much like McDonald 's, have realized that there is a science behind specific colors and desires/moods. For instance, the color red, which is used in a Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 20. How To Interpret The Alchemist There are lots of things that can be learned through the knowledge of one's background, beliefs, experiences, and ideology. The learning of the author allows the readers to interpret the book differently and to help understand why certain types of literary devices were used. In the novel, The Alchemist, it was important to know the background of the author, Paulo Coelho, before actually reading the book since it influences how a reader interprets the story. In the introduction, Coelho wrote about the four obstacles that persistent when following one's personal legend (vi). This part in the introduction helps the reader interpret parts of the story that would not have been easily interpreted without knowledge of the author's mindset. One example of the introduction...show more content... The background information given to the readers help them learn about the writer and his beliefs. This helps guide the readers on a path in order to interpret the story how the author planned it to be. During the interview, Paulo Coelho talks about being a catholic while not having it affect the way he views the world (181). Not all religions have the same teachings but when I read the book, I felt that religion did not have a play in the story even though it was clearly present throughout the story. Anyone can have control over their future and not have it based on fate or what "god" has already set forth. The knowledge of the author and his background information allows the reader to put themselves in his shoes. Reading the story from a writer's point of view allows the readers to undertand exactly what was going through the writer's mind and exactly what the writer meant when he was writing the story. Without knowing who the author was, the story would not be properly interpreted and would not have as significant of an effect on the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
