COM 203: Introduction to Communication Week 9, Day 2, 3/22 Agenda Quiz 2 (30 minutes) Discuss mass communication and perspectives on the effects of media Reminders: Paper 3 due on 4/10 Quiz 3 is on 4/12 Some questions…. Following questions….are they fiction or reality about the effects of mass media? Mass Effects….Fiction or Reality? Media is only make believe…people know it is not real But… News is not make-believe (at least it’s not supposed to be) Most film and television dramas (Modern Family) are produced to seem real to viewers Much of contemporary television are “reality shows” Before they develop the capacity to know what is not real, children confront the world through television ~ what they see is real. We willingly suspend disbelief while consuming media in the name of entertainment. Mass Effects….Fiction or Reality? Media is only entertainment But… News is not play or entertainment (at least it’s not supposed to be). Even if media content is only play, play is very important to the way we develop our knowledge of ourselves and our world (think about what we learn from “playing sports”) Mass Effects….Fiction or Reality? Media is merely a mirror that is showing us the “norm” But…. If this is true then it is a very selective mirror. Some questions to think on: What does a “typical family” look like on TV? When there is a “bad person” on TV what do they look like? What race or ethnicity do “heros” tend to be? What sex? How are jobs represented on TV with regard to sex? Mass Effects….Fiction or Reality? Media merely reinforces existing values…family, church, school, etc. have more impact But…. The traditional socializing agents (school, religion, family) have lost much of their power to influence in our complicated and fast-paced world. Moreover, reinforcement is not the same as having no effects. If media can reinforce the good in our culture, media can just as easily reinforce the bad. Mass Effects….Fiction or Reality? Media doesn’t impact important issues, only minor ones like fads and fashion But…. Fads and fashions are not unimportant to us. Think about how much time and effort is spent on selecting clothes, cars, phones, electronics, etc. Media helped make fads and fashions so central to our self-definition and happiness. Why are billions of dollars spent on media efforts to sway opinion about social issues such as universal health care, nuclear power, and global warming. Are these not important issues? MASS COMMUNICATION THEORIES Given the importance of mass communication and its many forms, there are quite a few well-developed theories regarding the meaning-making relationship between mass media and their audiences. Cultivation Theory Developed by George Gerbner in the 1970s. Deals with television effects and argues that television has long-term effects Effects are gradual but significant  an increased belief that the world is a cruel place Mean World Syndrome ...

Research Topics Please Note: You are free to develop your own research topic on a social work, community, or humanitarian topic of your choice. If you are stuck for an idea, some ideas for research within the university are presented. You can select one of these and discuss further with the lecturer. Issue: Discrimination in the Community Have people in your community experienced unfair treatment on the basis of age, gender, race or class? If so, In what areas of their lives? (ie work, accommodation, education, goods and services etc) What is the impact? Did they take any action to challenge or change things, why or why not? What programs work well to address unfair treatment – what are the key aspects of such programs? Issue: The role of arts in social work practice 1. How have art forms (for example, singing, music, acting, painting, dance, multi media) been used in different fields or areas of social work practice? You could select one art form and one area and research current use to narrow down your focus. For example – how is music used in hospital-based social work in Western Australia? Or, how is painting and drawing being used in child welfare work in Sydney? 2. How many social workers use the arts in their work practice, and/or how do they use the arts in their practice? Issue: The role of non-government organisations (NGO’s) in the child protection sector 1. What roles and functions are best undertaken by the non government sector in child protection work? 2. How can government best support and build the capacity of the non government sector? 3. What are the risks associated with NGO involvement in the child protection sector? How can those risks be successfully managed? Issue: Recruitment of child protection practitioners. Recruitment and retention of skilled and experienced child protection workers is one of the key issues impacting on successful delivery of child protection services. What are the key issues impacting on the decisions by staff to stay longer than 12 months, two years, 5 years. What are the key issues impacting on staff decisions to move on? What may have persuaded them to stay? Issue: The evolving profession of social work 1. Where do people with Social work degrees work after they graduate, and/or five, 10, 20 years later? 2. Where do people with other human service (eg. Humanitarian) related degrees work? Issue: Youth Work What impact do skate-parks, drop-in centres or other youth-focused community resources have on young people? Some possible questions are: How well used are these resources (you might like to pick just one)? What are young people’s views about the resource? What other types of resource would young people want to see? Issue: Domestic Violence Service Usage and Experience What is the current use of domestic violence services in the NT (or any other place you might choose)? - Some possible questions are: How many people use services annually? ...

Also, Hugo van der goes is not Italian, he is actually a Northern Flemish artist. His work was one of the few "Northern" paintings that made its way to Italy (due to the shipowner, Portinari). Your visual analysis on elements of art you mention, "The angels down on the right Is a group of angels magnificently dressed In their cheerful hats with red feathers and golden color cloaks and the magnificent beauty of their wings. Joseph Is represented as an old man, with a beard as painted In the old traditional way of style and texture to the composition. The shepherds are pretty mean looking with their rustic looking faces but their form of kneeling down Is gentle, and behind the three that are In the front shows some signs of movement Involved." Question 1. : Can you walk us through why discussing colors in a Northern Renaissance work of art reflects the Northern Renaissance? Question 2. : Also, when you mention texture - what textures do you specifically see? You also mention the "rustic looking faces" - again, in your opinion, how does this reflect, specifically, the Northern Renaissance? .

Almost from its inception, the personal computer marketplace became fragmented around choices about which operating system people thought was best or coolest, or about which choice of systems offered users the best integrated and reliable options versus price. But while that Apple vs. Microsoft debate rages on, look what's happened: the basic idea of personal computing has profoundly changed. It's not only about manipulating the contents of files anymore -- it's more about bringing streams of interaction to your fingertips, or to the blink of your eye. Other portable device makers have entered this marketplace -- Linux-based choices, Android-based systems (owned by Google), and other technologies are becoming more and more commonplace. Dual-personality systems (or "dual-boot") are much easier to buy and operate. And the devices themselves come with the underlying OS buried further and further away from what the user interacts with. For which kinds of computing and information systems do users really need to care about underlying technologies -- which is what an operating system is? Which kinds of users ought to pay more attention to how well a variety of devices and applications work together (and how seamlessly)? Which kind of user are you? And... do you want to be the other kind? Your initial post should be 2-3 paragraphs in length (about 250 words). .

ALL WORK MUST BE COMPLETELY ORIGINAL NO RECYCLED WORK MUST BE COMPLETED IN APA FORMAT Memory Models Learning about the structure of memory can improve your study skills. In this assignment, you will discuss the academic applications of memory models and try to apply the principles to yourself. Use the readings for the module and the terminology of the subject and respond to these questions: You are a teaching assistant for an undergraduate history class and need to prepare a test. You want evidence to show that students know the material well. What kind of test would you prepare? What kind of test do you think requires the most in-depth knowledge? Why? As Dan took his history test, he could not recollect many of the dates he had studied. Dan had memorized some important dates just before the test. While he was doing this, he was also talking on the phone. Which of Dan's memory stores—sensory memory, short-term memory (STM), or long-term memory (LTM)—do you think were most affected by his phone conversation? Why? Could Dan have done something differently to prevent forgetting the dates? Explain. Identify two different kinds of mnemonic devices that could help Dan remember dates for his history test. Explain how they could be used. Melissa is disappointed that she received yet another “D” on a test. She studied for several hours by reading and rereading her textbook and class notes. Based on the levels-of-processing memory theory, explain why Melissa’s method of studying was not very effective? What could she have done differently? Using Baddeley’s working memory model, give an example of two tasks that could successfully be performed simultaneously (For example, can you listen to music while studying at the same time?). Discuss two other tasks that probably would interfere with each other. Make sure to discuss your answers in terms of the visuospatial scratchpad, the phonological loop, and the central executive. Write your initial response in 4–5 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. By Saturday, February 14, 2015 , post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area .

all work must be original as it goes through a turnitin program Stereotypes Set by Culture and Society Sociology came into existence in the 19th century to explain the enormous changes occasioned by the Industrial Revolution, urbanization, and an individualistic mind-set. Unlike agrarian communities, the emerging urban populations were large, numbering in the tens of thousands. These city dwellers neither grew their own food nor knew each other. In characterizing individuals, they found it convenient to speak in categories or stereotypes. According to the structural-functional perspective, stereotypes served an important communication function, helping them to compare and contrast groups. The social-conflict perspective, on the other hand, argues that stereotypes serve the needs of those groups and categories benefitting from social inequality. Stereotypes help dominant groups to contrast social categories and to justify subordinating the less powerful. Furthermore, by lumping subordinate groups into faceless statistical categories, members of the dominant group dissipate the guilt they would have felt were they dealing with the subordinate categories as individuals. Based on your readings, the online lectures, and your understanding of the above-noted issues, prepare a response to the following question: Is it possible to speak of ethnic groups in America in terms other than stereotypes? Create a response in 3 paragraphs to the discussion question. Cite sources and include references in your response. Submit your response to the Discussion Area by Saturday, November 22, 2014 .

All this just need to be reworded. NOT APA nor MLA needed. Question 1 Distinguish between the concepts of mission and vision. Provide examples in your explanation. Your response should be at least 75 words in length. (needs to be re-worded) Mission and vision statement are used in many organization to lay out who they and to identify their business to the external and internal customers. A vision statement is the foundation of an organization. It clearly states to the internal and external customers what the organization is all about. For example for the 375th Air Mobility Wing vision statement is “The Vision of the 375 Air Mobility Wing is providing precise combat capabilities to the warfighter….always”. This clearly states what the vision of the organization is which is ensuring the warfighters have the combat capabilities to do their jog. With a mission statement it is used to state the values and of the organization and it is used to separate the organization from it competitors. For example the 375th Air Mobility Wing mission statement is “The mission of the 375th Air Mobility Wing is enabling combat power”. With this mission statement it clearly states that the organization will enable combat power which tells the employees within the organization that they are trusted with power ensure the warfighters have what they need in a timely manner. Question 2 Are "strategic management" and "strategic planning" synonymous terms? Explain. Your response should be at least 75 words in length. (needs to be re-worded) Strategic management and strategic planning are considered synonymous terms because they are both used to discuss how organizations make decisions regarding their business vision and mission and goals for the future. Even though the term strategic management is used in mainly within the realm of education and strategic planning is used more in the business world they both follow the same concept. Both strategic management and strategic planning focus around organizations focus on strategy to remain competitive and diverse through the changing economy. Question 3 Describe the strategic management process, and include how it is used by organizations. Your response should be at least 75 words in length. (needs to be re-worded) The strategic management process has three stages which are strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and finally strategy evaluation. When looking at the strategy formulation this requires an organization to create the foundation of their organization. This includes creating a mission and vision statement and looking at what external and internal threats or opportunities that will affect the organization. When looking at the strategy implementation this entails an organization to establish objectives that will need to be meet and according to what time frame these objectives will be meet. This requires employ.

All sources of information (whether the textbook or a web site) are cited Length : A quality post is one that is somewhere between 150 and 200 words. What do you believe are two or three of the most important cultural, political, religious or economic inheritances which the West received from the Byzantine or Islamic civilizations? Why? a list of hints and some clarification to help guide you on this discussion. First, the question is asking you what inheritances the West received at the time, not today. Be sure to focus on the Middle Ages, particularly the Dark Ages, when addressing this question. Second, try to focus on just a few inheritances. If everyone posts the same few inheritances, then it's hard to have a discussion because we keep repeating ourselves. Finally, influences are difficult to prove at the best of times, so don't get too hung up on right or wrong answers.

albn10 2015-02-22 17:31 can you answer this question? In this discussion, we will investigate confidence intervals and t tests for continuous data. To do this, we will revisit the TAA data that you studied in the Week Three assignment. You may recall from the Week Three assignment that you have available data on 12 tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), from 90 normal individuals (controls) and 160 hepatocellular carcinoma patients (cases). These data are in the Excel file MHA610_Week 3_Assignment_Data.xls ; the levels of the 12 TAAs are given in the columns with headings Ab14, HCC1, IMP1, KOC, MDM2, NPM1, P16, P53, P90, RaIA, and Survivin. First, randomly select three of the 12 TAAs for further study. Next, Perform two sample t-tests for comparing the levels of each of your three TAAs between the cases and the controls. Then, Use the t-tests to order the TAAs in terms of relative ability to discriminate between the cases and controls, from best to worst discriminator. Is this ordering helpful if you want to select a subset of TAAs to discriminate between cases and controls? Assume for now that you can judge the relative merits of your three TAAs by the magnitudes of their respective two-sided p-values from the two sample t-tests, so that your best discriminator is the TAA with the smallest p-value. Lastly, Construct and report 95% confidence intervals for the mean level of your best TAA discriminator in the controls, the mean level of your best TAA discriminator in the cases, and the difference in mean levels (cases - controls). Discuss whether your confidence intervals are concordant with the t-tests. source group groupid Ab14 HCC1 IMP1 KOC MDM2 NPM1 P16 P53 P62 P90 SD control 0 0.102 0.068 0.083 0.023 0.117 0.12 0.102 0.098 0.177 0.097 SD control 0 0.02 0.06 0.035 0.016 0.005 0.004 0.017 0.014 0.049 0.011 SD control 0 0.064 0.13 0.111 0.058 0.092 0.046 0.258 0.057 0.28 0.05 SD control 0 0.068 0.041 0.056 0.019 0.077 0.05 0.067 0.055 0.104 0.049 SD control 0 0.036 0.07 0.067 0.04 0.026 0.019 0.057 0.027 0.107 0.019 SD control 0 0.049 0.188 0.079 0.063 0.073 0.018 0.107 0.053 0.128 0.027 SD control 0 0.053 0.231 0.214 0.105 0.05 0.009 0.277 0.061 0.253 0.06 SD control 0 0.071 0.045 0.133 0.19 0.086 0 0.098 0.055 0.161 0.058 SD control 0 0.066 0.139 0.105 0.065 0.095 0.041 0.193 0.075 0.188 0.037 SD control 0 0.071 0.077 0.095 0.039 0.132 0.058 0.22 0.077 0.108 0.064 SD control 0 0.033 0.091 0.064 0.059 0.012 0.01 0.039 0.034 0.087 0.025 SD control 0 0.053 0.024 0.06 0.026 0.147 0.102 0.114 0.064 0.108 0.05 SD control 0 0.045 0.014 0.05 0.02 0.045 0.144 0.051 0.039 0.049 0.029 SD control 0 0.153 0.08 0.071 0.034 0.021 0.118 0.063 0.041 0.071 0.029 SD control 0 0.033 0.023 0.047 0.019 0.048 0.219 0.056 0.043 0.071 0.039 SD control 0 0.111 0.047 0.104 0.049 0.103 0.064 0.285 0.09 0.185 0.452 SD control 0 0.082 0.023 0.071 0.258 0.091 0.129 0.116 0.055 0.165 0.11 SD control 0 0.115 0.01 0.383 0.162 0.113 0.229 0.298 0.075.

All of the indigenous cultures that we have explored this week were at one time “discovered” by European explorers who often connected traditional art objects to take back with them to Europe as “curiosities.” These objets d’art inspired collectors and artists alike and opened the Western world up to new ideas, new cultures, and new art forms. This is Part 1 of a two-part assignment and spans Weeks 3 and 4 . Imagine that you are one of these intrepid European explorers who has set out to discover and collect the traditional art forms created by the four cultures we have learned about this week: India China Korea Japan As you “travel” and collect two works from each of your four cultures, you need to document some important field notes that will help you to explain what these treasures are upon your return home. These field notes need to include for each work of art: Name of the culture that produced the object Title or name of the object Date of the object Medium/materials used to create the object Current location Assignment Instructions Using the textbook and Internet sources, locate 2 traditional works of art from India, China, Japan, and Korea. Copy and paste the 8 objects into your Microsoft Word document and label each one: Name of the culture that produced the object Title of the work Date of the work Medium/materials used to create the work Current location Offer a citation of your sources for each image and the information you found in the textbook and on the Internet. Use your textbook to find out as much as you can about cultural context for each object. Go online and find some reference sources to provide you with more information. Thoroughly explain and analyze: What each object is How you think your European friends back home will react to each object, and why Why it is culturally important .

Albert and Baker form a corporation and start their business as the Lending Store, Inc. They begin making mortgage loans. They lease a large office building and eventually hire twenty employees. After several months it becomes obvious that one of their more experienced employees, Mary Smith, has some personal problems. Ms. Smith is 60 years old and has a permanent disability that requires her to work from a wheelchair. She is often late for work because of health issues and has some absences each month. She shows up ten minutes late for work one morning and Albert fires her on the spot without explanation. The company then promotes from within and allows John Jones to take Ms. Smith’s position. John Jones is 25 years old. He has no mortgage lending experience but is on time for work every day. 1. Mary Smith is unhappy about being fired.
