The purpose of this assignment is to have you perform a critique of the way gender operates/is communicated/is enforced in an event that is happening in our lives. Pick something CONTEMPORARY from the newspaper, TV, or social media and make an argument about what type of gendered communication is occurring in the “story.” Use the book to support your claims about that which you are analyzing. Explain your position by backing up your claims with scholarly evidence and use articles from the BCC library (2 scholarly articles). The goal is to convince the reader to adopt your perspective about the gendered communication. What is this “story” telling us about the larger discourses surrounding power, gender, race, class, ability, etc? For this assignment you will be evaluated on your writing skills, your attention to persuasive appeals, and your use of evidence (focusing on particular parts of the “story” and relating them back to the theory from the book and external articles). This assignment will be 1,000 words and should contain an introduction, body, conclusion, a cover page and reference page all in APA, and will combine knowledge of all concepts discussed this semester.

PLSC 102 Term Paper on Political Ideologies
The purpose of this assignment, according to Thomas Jefferson:
“Difference of opinion leads to inquiry, and inquiry to truth.”
Check the list on Blackboard to see which issue of the following issues you’ve been assigned.
Illegal Immigration, Stem Cell Research, Affirmative Action, or US Foreign Aid (only non-military aid).
After getting your assigned issue from the list on Blackboard, address the following in at least 6-7 typed pages. You will need to use your lecture notes on the ideological spectrum, and outside research. In addition to books and journals, the following online databases will help you locate opposing views and recent laws/court decisions: Britannica Online, the Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center, ProQuest and LexisNexis (newspaper and newsmagazine searches), and the CQ Researcher. These and other MiraCosta databases can be accessed for free at MCC libraries or at home (using your Surf password). Simply click on “Library” on the MCC website, and then click on “All Online Databases” under “Online Resources.”
You should start your research with your textbooks (check the index), Britannica Online (or another trustworthy encyclopedia), and the Opposing Viewpoints database. Then, after you have a better understanding of your issue, you can move on to other specific sources such as newspaper and journal articles, newsmagazines such as Newsweek and Time, websites for political parties and other sources.
You will need to use at least 8 different sources for your paper other than your course textbooks. At least three of your sources must be something other than websites (i.e articles, books, etc). If you can find a source in print, but you choose to get it online (like a newspaper article from LATimes.com), it does not count as a website source. All sources must be cited in the paper and listed in a separate bibliography (citation format described below).
The paper must be double-spaced, with size 12 Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and your name, class, and date in the header (not in the body of the paper – click View-->Header&Footer). Do not use any cover pages or folders – only a staple in the upper left corner. Your paper must be in essay format (no outlines). Do not include an introduction or conclusion. Points will be deducted for spelling and grammatical errors, and for deviations from the format described below.
Section 1: Describe how contemporary American liberals approach this issue. You will need to provide an objective, unbiased description, so that most liberals would agree with what you have written. Specifically,
a) Describe their beliefs about this issue – are they in favor, opposed? More importantly, what arguments do they give to support their position?
b) Describe the specific changes they propose to address this issue. You will need to research and describe several policies or ideas for reform, including recent laws (state and federa.

Explain in detail how prejudice and discrimination differ.
Provide real-world examples of prejudice,conformity, and social influence, utilizing 3 or more recent (within the last 12 months) news stories.
Describe what happened in each news story related to the concepts (prejudice, discrimination, conformity, and social influence). Each news could be about a different concept, or the news stories you select could involve more than one.
Analyze how conformity and social influence were factors in what transpired in each event, identifying relevant psychological theories at work.

paper should be between 750 – 1500 words. APA formatting is required
find two advertisements from any source (newspaper, magazine, tv, etc). One will be an example of the ways that the advertisement perpetuates ideas about race and/or ethnicity in a negative, prejudicial, or stereotypical way. The other should be an advertisement that challenges those prejudicial and stereotypical ways. Compare and contrast the advertisements. What ages, genders, races, etc are present in each advertisement (think back to the discussion of social statuses from chapter 5). What message do those statuses send? What key message is being sent by each advertisement? Summarize a thesis statement of 1-2 sentences that wraps up succinctly one message that can be gleaned from each of the advertisements about race and ethnicity. This will be presented as part of your main body, and the discussion should include discussion of many of these topics: socialization, race and ethnicity, prejudice, discrimination, us/them, and norms and/or values. You will need to bring in the social construction of reality, as well.
Then, find two more advertisements. One should include white models, and one should include individuals of color as the models. Challenge yourself to pick them at random without trying to find the “perfect” example, as we want to see what the average ad does. Explain how this example from the media adds to the social construction of our perceptions of race and ethnicity. Be sure to provide ample evidence of how this process occurs, and the role that the social institution of the media plays in the construction of race and ethnicity. Your discussion should include a clear explanation of what the social construction of our perceptions of race and ethnicity is, and how cultural transmission occurs through the media. This will be presented as part of your main body.
For your concluding paragraph, you will bring together a solid conclusion about race and ethnicity, giving a nice sociological analysis.

Proposal for Discourse and Discourse Community Project
4-5 Body pages, 200 points
Due on BB by 11:59 p.m. on B.B. on Thursday, September 6
Write a proposal for a specific discourse community. You can start a business; propose an event; propose the creation of an app or videogame; create a new product; or something else intended for your discourse community. Identify your reader (investors, leaders of the discourse community, other?) and work to persuade why this proposal will work well and how it will benefit your audience. You will examine the secondary Discourse (identity of the individual member) and discourse community to understand how to engage these consumers. Then discuss your proposal and how it will engage your target audience (members of the discourse community). Please provide a Title Page, the Body of the proposal (contains the different sections), and a References (APA format) or Works Cited (MLA format) page. Please place the page number centered at the bottom of each page. Please consult sample on Blackboard. Use business block format to write this proposal document.
A Discourse, according to James Paul Gee, is an identity we learn through enculturation and perform through language, thinking, and action. A discourse community, according to John Swales, shares common goals; ways to participate and exchange information; genres; specialized vocabulary; and master members and novitiates.
Please select a discourse community that interests you. Introduce it in your opening paragraph; you will also introduce your proposal and purpose, too. Then examine the secondary Discourse, which focuses on the individual identity (use a heading titled Discourse of the Individual). Write several paragraphs discussing this individual identity. Then write another heading titled Discourse Community; this section will use multiple paragraphs to discuss the larger discourse community.
Please analyze how the secondary Discourse operates and causes problems and provides benefits (for example, does it favor a certain kind of person? How does it keep non-members out?). Do the same for the discourse community section: how does it operate and cause problems and provide benefits?
Then state your proposal (with the heading titled Proposal). Write your proposal and discuss how you will implement it and why it will work well (multiple paragraphs). Acknowledge counterarguments readers might suggest or potential problems and how you will respond to these arguments or work with these problems.
Incorporate your research throughout your paper (use research to support each section). Find sources to support your discussion of the Discourse section, Discourse Community section, and the Proposal section; the sources do not need to speak explicitly about each section; they can provide support by speaking to the theme or topic of the section. How do your sources represent your discourse community? Why? How have other o ...

A Discourse, according to James Paul Gee, is an identity we learn through enculturation and perform through language, thinking, and action. A discourse community, according to John Swales, shares common goals; ways to participate and exchange information; genres; specialized vocabulary; and master members and novitiates.
Please select a discourse community that interests you. Introduce it in your opening paragraph; you will also introduce your proposal and purpose, too. Then examine the secondary Discourse, which focuses on the individual identity (use a heading titled Discourse of the Individual). Write several paragraphs discussing this individual identity. Then write another heading titled Discourse Community; this section will use multiple paragraphs to discuss the larger discourse community.
Please analyze how the secondary Discourse operates and causes problems and provides benefits (for example, does it favor a certain kind of person? How does it keep non-members out?). Do the same for the discourse community section: how does it operate and cause problems and provide benefits?
Then state your proposal (with the heading titled Proposal). Write your proposal and discuss how you will implement it and why it will work well (multiple paragraphs). Acknowledge counterarguments readers might suggest or potential problems and how you will respond to these arguments or work with these problems.
Incorporate your research throughout your paper (use research to support each section). Find sources to support your discussion of the Discourse section, Discourse Community section, and the Proposal section; the sources do not need to speak explicitly about each section; they can provide support by speaking to the theme or topic of the section. How do your sources represent your discourse community? Why? How have other o ...

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

9th Grade Argumentative Summative One-Pager
- 1. As a culminating assignment for our work within the Power and Privilege Unit, you will write and create an argumentative newspaper column that addresses a specific systemic problem (racism, classism, sexism, islamophobia, etc) and proposes a solution to them. The learning intention for this summative is to develop and strengthen your argumentative writing skills, and apply your learning to the world you walk through and to come up with concrete solutions that someone your age can take up and make happen. This is your opportunity to stand up to those in power, combat systems in place, and serve as an activist for a community with the tool of writing at your disposal. Argumentative Summative Be in newspaper or magazine format/template Word Count: at least 500-700 words Include cited textual evidence of (2) historical events using the online school database Include a headline Include at least one picture Introduce a strong thesis statement/claim, have TWO arguing points or “body paragraphs,” multiple well- chosen, relevant, and credible facts or evidence to support EACH of your arguing points, a counterclaim, a rebuttal, and a conclusion. REEQUIREMENTS: What is the best way to combat Islamaphobia? What is the best way to create a more anti-racist world? What is the best way to combat sexism and misogyny? What is the best way to eliminate our class hierarchy? What is the best way to solve climate change? TOPICS OPTIONAL EXTENSION ASSIGNMENT: If you want to do an optional extension assignment, create a visual PSA (Public Service Announcement). You can utilize a flier or advertisement template on Canva. Make sure that your argument is clear/matches your newspaper column, and provide easy to read/relevant support for your argument.
