Dear Mr./Ms.(Student Name):
My name is Randy Ready and I serve as your point of contact for the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security (DHS). As a component of our nation's critical infrastructure, your
company's operations are vital and essential, not only to your community, but to our country’s
homeland security efforts as a whole. Therefore, it is imperative that your organization take
certain steps and measures that will ensure your essential services will continue in the midst of
a critical incident. To that end, I am requesting a report be forwarded to me as soon as possible
that provides the following information:
Summary concerning your organization and what you feel your roles/responsibilities are
related to overall homeland security efforts.
The steps your organization has taken, whether internally or externally, to ensure these
expectations are fulfilled.
Conversely, provide information concerning challenges your organization faces that
serve as an impediment in meeting your homeland security commitments.
Lastly, what do you expect from DHS in this collaborative effort and how can we as a
Federal agency enhance our level of support?
I look forward to receiving your report, as it will serve as a vital component of our future planning
efforts. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time.
Randy Ready
Regional Liaison,

Discussion: Task Groups
Group work is a commonly used method within school settings. Because peer interaction is important in the emotional and social development of children, the task group can serve as a wonderful therapeutic setting and tool; however, many factors should be considered when implementing this type of intervention.
For this Discussion, read the Van Velsor (2009) article.
By Day 3
Post
your understanding of task groups as an intervention for children. Use the model for effective problem solving to compare and contrast (how to identify the problem, develop goals, collect data). How does this model differ from a traditional treatment group? What are the advantages and possible disadvantages of this model? Describe how you might use this model for adults. What populations would most benefit from this model?

Dear Mr./Ms.(Student Name):
My name is Randy Ready and I serve as your point of contact for the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security (DHS). As a component of our nation's critical infrastructure, your
company's operations are vital and essential, not only to your community, but to our country’s
homeland security efforts as a whole. Therefore, it is imperative that your organization take
certain steps and measures that will ensure your essential services will continue in the midst of
a critical incident. To that end, I am requesting a report be forwarded to me as soon as possible
that provides the following information:
Summary concerning your organization and what you feel your roles/responsibilities are
related to overall homeland security efforts.
The steps your organization has taken, whether internally or externally, to ensure these
expectations are fulfilled.
Conversely, provide information concerning challenges your organization faces that
serve as an impediment in meeting your homeland security commitments.
Lastly, what do you expect from DHS in this collaborative effort and how can we as a
Federal agency enhance our level of support?
I look forward to receiving your report, as it will serve as a vital component of our future planning
efforts. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time.

Discussion: Task Groups
Group work is a commonly used method within school settings. Because peer interaction is important in the emotional and social development of children, the task group can serve as a wonderful therapeutic setting and tool; however, many factors should be considered when implementing this type of intervention.
For this Discussion, read the Van Velsor (2009) article.
By Day 3
Post
your understanding of task groups as an intervention for children. Use the model for effective problem solving to compare and contrast (how to identify the problem, develop goals, collect data). How does this model differ from a traditional treatment group? What are the advantages and possible disadvantages of this model? Describe how you might use this model for adults. What populations would most benefit from this model?

Learning about Language by Observing and ListeningThe real.docxfestockton
Learning about Language by Observing and Listening
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking
new landscapes, but in having new eyes. Marcel Proust
The UCSD experience encompasses academic as well as social learning. Therefore, we learn not only from our courses, but from the people we meet on campus and the experiences we have with them. Life is a journey of self-discovery. As individuals, we are constantly seeking to determine who we are and where we belong in the world. Throughout this process, language is both a bridge and a barrier to communication and human growth.
The general subject matter for this essay is language or language communities. The source of your information will be what you observe and hear by listening to others. The goal is to do a project based on what our own minds can comprehend from diligent observation, note-taking, and reasoning. You should arrive at a reasoned (not emotional) conclusion. The conclusion/result of your experiment is your thesis and should be presented in the opening paragraph in one sentence. Secondary material should not be brought into this essay. Thus, this is not an essay that needs to be the result of academic texts or online sources. The research is what you see and how you interpret what you see and hear. It will be up to you to determine what particular focus your essay will take and wahat meaning you wish to convey to your reader. Do the exploratory writing activities on pages 73-76. These activities will guide you through an analysis of some of the reflections you completed in the first part of your book. Once you determine your focus, you will use the information you have already gathered and additional information you will research to clarify your ideas and provide evidence for the points you wish to make.
If you prefer a more direct prompt, the suggested topics listed below might be helpful to you. Choose one of the following topics to establish a focus and direction.
1) From your observations and conversations, what assumptions and stereotypes do we make about people based on language and behavior? What did you learn from the experiment?
2) You may examine body language as well as verbal language. Explore nonverbal communication in a group. What conclusions can you come to regarding the group based on nonverbal behavior?
3) Did you observe language differences between men and women here at UCSD Notice the ways in which men and women treat one another. Observe the language you hear on campus.
How do women greet one another? How do men greet each other? Do not just note the similarities or differences. Explain and interpret the information.
4) Observe and identify a code language on campus, on your job, or in your personal arena. How is language used? Is it effective? Analyze.
5) Have you become keenly aware of code switching? Who utilizes this language? In your observations and conversations, did you find code switching to be an acceptable form of lang.

QUESTION:
A recently elected Government, concerned about rising gun crime by drug dealers, has introduced a Bill into Parliament to bring back the death penalty for any person convicted of causing death by the use of a firearm and which is also related to an illegal drug trade.
Human Rights UK (HRUK), part of a worldwide protest organisation called ‘Global Human Rights’ is opposed to the death penalty in any circumstances. HRUK has many thousands of members across the UK. The organisation is split into county groups and there is a thriving branch of over 1200 members in Penfield.
Sam Jones, the leader of the Penfield branch, has proposed a local demonstration against the Bill to take place on the 1
st
May 2014. The demonstration includes a march from the Town Hall in Penfield City Centre to the local War Memorial followed by speeches from senior members of the organisation.
The Chief Constable of Penfield Police, having been informed of the proposed protest is concerned about rumours that a small counter protest has been organised to disrupt the protest by a far right group opposed to human rights. He has issued a Notice to HRUK and Sam Jones under the Public Order Act 1986 which imposes the following conditions on the HRUK demonstration planned for 1
st
May 2014:-
Notice from the Chief Constable of Penfield Police:
1) any demonstration to be held by the HRUK between 1st March 2014 and 1
st
October 2014 should be held in Penfield Country Park, at least 25 miles from Penfield City Centre;
2) the maximum number of demonstrators shall be 25;
3) the maximum duration of the demonstration shall be 2 hours;
4) there should be no public speeches and;
5) that in the event of any counter demonstration or hostility shown towards HRUK members, the Penfield Police reserve the right to cancel the demonstration immediately
Advise, giving reasons, whether Sam Jones and/or HRUK can use the Human Rights Act 1998 to challenge the decision of the Chief Constable.

Leadership Throughout HistoryHistory is filled with tales of leade.docxfestockton
Leadership Throughout History
History is filled with tales of leaders who were brave, selfless, and achieved glorious accomplishments. Your text discusses how leadership theory has been categorized throughout time, from the culture of ancient Egypt thousands of years ago, to the “toolbox” style of today.
The first category, known as the “Great Man” phase, focused on the traits that make an effective leader. This period ranges from circa 450 B.C. to the 1940s, and includes classic examples such as the aforementioned Egyptian period and the expansive influence of the Roman Empire.
The second category, known as the Behavior phase, spanned the 1940s to the 1960s, and focused on determining the types of behavior that leaders utilized to influence and affect others.
The final category is the Situational phase. This line of research began in the 1970s and is still present today. It suggests that leaders have a broad understanding of the various types of leadership styles, and can choose the appropriate one to handle a given situation.
I
n this Journal, discuss each phase, do research and provide examples of influential leaders from each phase, and explain how and why they were so influential.
Your Journal entry should be at least 500 words, and cite appropriate references in APA format.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
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.

Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
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

Around 100 people died while at least 230 got injured (Duval,
2016). The figures saw the fire enter the
world’s books of history regarding fire calamities. The fire
broke out when onstage pyrotechnics kindled
soundproofing froth in the backstage. One minute hardly ended
and the whole stage was engulfed.
23The fire then spread quickly throughout the club. The bulk of
the
audience dashed towards the main entrance; however, they
could not rescue themselves quickly because of
big crowd according to Duval (2016). The back entrance could
have helped in exiting but the club’s
bouncers prevented those who tried to use it maintaining that it
was exclusively for the band. Around 90% of
the deaths occurred at the main entrances where the fatalities
were overawed by smoke inhalation.
According to specialists, this calamity was avertible. Dynamics
of the Fire Immediately the fire hit headlines,
it became a subject for various forms of inquiry.
10The Fire Research Division at the National Institute of
Standards and
Technology (NIST)
specifically launched a probe into the causes of the fire in a bid
to develop prevention and control solutions
for the future (Barylick, 2015). In its report, NIST established
16. that the flammable soundproofing acoustic form
was the cause of the fire while the hazardous mixture of the
building materials were among the core factors,
which facilitated the fire making it severe. The club was wood-
framed, for a case in point, while its ceiling
was also made from combustible wood materials. Other factors
included lack of automatic sprinklers and
inadequate exits according to Barylick (2015). The fire
20reached flashover within a minute, causing all inflammable
materials to catch
fire and burn.
This resulted into an
5intense black smoke, which engulfed the club within
approximately 5½ minutes.
A video footage of the calamity displays its ignition, rapid
growth, and the
billowing smoke, which hardly allowed escape, as well as the
blocked egress, which
further mired evacuation. Practically, this fire was
as a result of an architectural error in the designing and
construction of the club (Barylick, 2015). Fire safety
was not considered in all architectural stages. The acoustic
foam only ignited the fire, but it is the
inflammable
17materials that were used in the construction of the building

that sustained the fire and led to its rampant and quick spread.
If incombustible materials such as concrete
were used in the ceiling and frames of the building, for
instance, specialists reveal that the fire would not
have been that fatal and would not have spread so fast and
stayed for that long. The club’s temperature
situation also sustained and expedited the fire. According to
FDS simulations and fire experts, the club’s
temperature facilitated the ignition of the burnable surfaces and
structures in the club (Barylick, 2015).
Inquiry reports showed that the
4heat release rate (HRR) of 1500kW/m2 and a maximum
burning rate of
0.008kg/m2s in the
club created a conducive environment
4for the initial burning locations and burnable surfaces
respectively.
Revisiting The Fire’s Lessons: The New Codes Entering the
world’s books of history of calamities, The
Station Nightclub Fire Outbreak no doubt taught the world a lot
of lessons particularly regarding its
prevention and control. From these lessons, new and tougher
building and safety codes were established.
The 2003 model codes required the installation of all premises
18. with sprinkler systems as one of the
precautionary measures for fighting any fire calamity
(Firehouse, 2018). There was also
8the tentative interim amendment (TIA), which was approved in
July 2003. It
required that sprinklers are fitted in the existing nightclub
facilities venues with
capacities of more than 100
people. Additionally, Firehouse (2018) reported that the board
delineated that restrictions are executed on
festival orchestra in both
2new and existing facilities if the capacity is more than 250
persons, unless
the facility meets the life safety credibility. The Conducted Fire
Dynamics Simulator Model Overview and
Purpose
2The focus of this simulation was to probe the conditions,
which may have
been present in the club in the fire’s early stages
(Madrzykowski, Bryner & Kerber, 2006). Thus, the main
3purpose of the simulation was to determine the cause of the
fire.

Pictures from the WPRI video were used in the development of
the model input in the establishment of the
location of the different inner surfaces in the club. They were
also utilized
1as a general resource for verifying the physical organization of
the club. The
simulation was performed for 300 seconds to scrutinise the time
period from
ignition to the estimated moment of application of water by the
fire
brigade team (Madrzykowski, Bryner & Kerber, 2006). The
computation encompassed
1simulated fire and smoke spread, potential temperatures,
oxygen
concentrations, and visibility, which may have been present in
the actual
occurrence. All these parameters were then compared to
published tenability
standards.
1The full simulation results were then compared with the WPRI
video recording
of the incident
20. to test their credibility.
1In addition, analysis of the simulation considered published
tenability
criteria and the location of the victims within the nightclub.
Results and
Recommendations The simulation results revealed that
24conditions that existed in the initial stages of the fire
facilitated its ignition and spread. The first one is
1the significant differences in temperature between the 1.5 m (5
ft) elevation
and 0.6 m (2 ft), which occurred in the main barroom and the
main entrance
(Madrzykowski, Bryner & Kerber, 2006). The oxygen volume
fraction also facilitated the evolution of the fire.
However, the simulation indicated that the

which maintained a
level of tenability
in areas around the windows and the main entryway. Moreover,
the simulation showed that sprinklers would
have prevented flashovers in the incidence. From these findings,
the following recommendations, among
many others were reached according to Madrzykowski, Bryner
and Kerber (2006); • • systems. Limitation of
nightclub’s capacity to 100 Mandatory
16installation of NFPA 13-compliant automatic fire sprinkler •
Clear
identification of
flammable
7materials such as non-fire-retarded polyurethane foam. They
should
also
7be specifically forbidden for interior finish material in all
nightclubs • Strict
regulation of
the use of pyrotechnics in nightclubs • Endorsement of the use
of
2up-to-date fire safety codes across the board; hence,
eliminating the umbrella
clause.

to develop prevention and control solutions
for the future (Barylick, 2015). In its report, NIST established
that the flammable soundproofing acoustic form
was the cause of the fire while the hazardous mixture of the
building materials were among the core factors,
which facilitated the fire making it severe. The club was wood-
framed, for a case in point, while its ceiling
was also made from combustible wood materials. Other factors
included lack of automatic sprinklers and
inadequate exits according to Barylick (2015). The fire
20reached flashover within a minute, causing all inflammable
materials to catch
fire and burn.
This resulted into an
5intense black smoke, which engulfed the club within
approximately 5½ minutes.
A video footage of the calamity displays its ignition, rapid
growth, and the
billowing smoke, which hardly allowed escape, as well as the
blocked egress, which
further mired evacuation. Practically, this fire was
as a result of an architectural error in the designing and
construction of the club (Barylick, 2015). Fire safety
was not considered in all architectural stages. The acoustic
foam only ignited the fire, but it is the

that sustained the fire and led to its rampant and quick spread.
If incombustible materials such as concrete
were used in the ceiling and frames of the building, for
instance, specialists reveal that the fire would not
have been that fatal and would not have spread so fast and
stayed for that long. The club’s temperature
situation also sustained and expedited the fire. According to
FDS simulations and fire experts, the club’s
temperature facilitated the ignition of the burnable surfaces and
structures in the club (Barylick, 2015).
Inquiry reports showed that the
4heat release rate (HRR) of 1500kW/m2 and a maximum
burning rate of
0.008kg/m2s in the
club created a conducive environment
4for the initial burning locations and burnable surfaces
respectively.
Revisiting The Fire’s Lessons: The New Codes Entering the
world’s books of history of calamities, The
Station Nightclub Fire Outbreak no doubt taught the world a lot
of lessons particularly regarding its
34. prevention and control. From these lessons, new and tougher
building and safety codes were established.
The 2003 model codes required the installation of all premises
with sprinkler systems as one of the
precautionary measures for fighting any fire calamity
(Firehouse, 2018). There was also
8the tentative interim amendment (TIA), which was approved in
July 2003. It
required that sprinklers are fitted in the existing nightclub
facilities venues with
capacities of more than 100
people. Additionally, Firehouse (2018) reported that the board
delineated that restrictions are executed on
festival orchestra in both
2new and existing facilities if the capacity is more than 250
persons, unless
the facility meets the life safety credibility. The Conducted Fire
Dynamics Simulator Model Overview and
Purpose
2The focus of this simulation was to probe the conditions,
which may have
been present in the club in the fire’s early stages
(Madrzykowski, Bryner & Kerber, 2006). Thus, the main
3purpose of the simulation was to determine the cause of the
fire.

Pictures from the WPRI video were used in the development of
the model input in the establishment of the
location of the different inner surfaces in the club. They were
also utilized
1as a general resource for verifying the physical organization of
the club. The
simulation was performed for 300 seconds to scrutinise the time
period from
ignition to the estimated moment of application of water by the
fire
brigade team (Madrzykowski, Bryner & Kerber, 2006). The
computation encompassed
1simulated fire and smoke spread, potential temperatures,
oxygen
concentrations, and visibility, which may have been present in
the actual
occurrence. All these parameters were then compared to
published tenability
standards.
1The full simulation results were then compared with the WPRI
36. video recording
of the incident
to test their credibility.
1In addition, analysis of the simulation considered published
tenability
criteria and the location of the victims within the nightclub.
Results and
Recommendations The simulation results revealed that
24conditions that existed in the initial stages of the fire
facilitated its ignition and spread. The first one is
1the significant differences in temperature between the 1.5 m (5
ft) elevation
and 0.6 m (2 ft), which occurred in the main barroom and the
main entrance
(Madrzykowski, Bryner & Kerber, 2006). The oxygen volume
fraction also facilitated the evolution of the fire.

Abstract
This paper explores four published articles that report on results
from research conducted
on online (Internet) and offline (non-Internet) relationships and
their relationship to
computer-mediated communication (CMC). The articles,
however, vary in their
definitions and uses of CMC. Butler and Kraut (2002) suggest
that face-to-face (FtF)
interactions are more effective than CMC, defined and used as
“email,” in creating
feelings of closeness or intimacy. Other articles define CMC
differently and, therefore,
offer different results. This paper examines Cummings, Butler,
and Kraut’s (2002)
research in relation to three other research articles to suggest
that all forms of CMC
should be studied in order to fully understand how CMC
influences online and offline
relationships.

Varying Definitions of Online Communication and
Their Effects on Relationship Research
Numerous studies have been conducted on various facets of
Internet relationships,
focusing on the levels of intimacy, closeness, different
communication modalities, and
47. the frequency of use of computer-mediated communication
(CMC). However,
contradictory results are suggested within this research because
only certain aspects of
CMC are investigated, for example, email only. Cummings,
Butler, and Kraut (2002)
suggest that face-to-face (FtF) interactions are more effective
than CMC (read: email) in
creating feelings of closeness or intimacy, while other studies
suggest the opposite. To
understand how both online (Internet) and offline (non-Internet)
relationships are affected
by CMC, all forms of CMC should be studied. This paper
examines Cummings et al.’s
research against other CMC research to propose that additional
research be conducted to
better understand how online communication affects
relationships.
Literature Review
In Cummings et al.’s (2002) summary article reviewing three
empirical studies on
online social relationships, it was found that CMC, especially
email, was less effective
than FtF contact in creating and maintaining close social
48. relationships. Two of the three
reviewed studies focusing on communication in non-Internet
and Internet relationships
mediated by FtF, phone, or email modalities found that the
frequency of each modality’s
use was significantly linked to the strength of the particular
relationship (Cummings et
al., 2002). The strength of the relationship was predicted best
by FtF and phone

communication, as participants rated email as an inferior means
of maintaining personal
relationships as compared to FtF and phone contacts (Cummings
et al., 2002).
Cummings et al. (2002) reviewed an additional study conducted
in 1999 by the
HomeNet project (see Appendix A for more information on the
HomeNet project). In
this project, Kraut, Mukhopadhyay, Szczypula, Kiesler, and
Scherlis (1999) compared
the value of using CMC and non-CMC to maintain relationships
with partners. They
found that participants corresponded less frequently with their
Internet partner (5.2 times
per month) than with their non-Internet partner (7.2 times per
month) (as cited in
52. Cummings et al., 2002). This difference does not seem
significant, as it is only two times
less per month. However, in additional self-report surveys,
participants responded
feeling more distant, or less intimate, towards their Internet
partner than their non-
Internet partner. This finding may be attributed to participants’
beliefs that email is an
inferior mode of personal relationship communication.
Intimacy is necessary in the creation and maintenance of
relationships, as it is
defined as the sharing of a person’s innermost being with
another person, i.e., self-
disclosure (Hu, Wood, Smith, & Westbrook, 2004).
Relationships are facilitated by the
reciprocal self-disclosing between partners, regardless of non-
CMC or CMC. Cummings
et al.’s (2002) reviewed results contradict other studies that
research the connection
between intimacy and relationships through CMC.
Hu et al. (2004) studied the relationship between the frequency
of Instant
Messenger (IM) use and the degree of perceived intimacy
among friends. The use of IM
53. instead of email as a CMC modality was studied because IM
supports a non-professional

environment favoring intimate exchanges (Hu et al., 2004).
Their results suggest that a
54. positive relationship exists between the frequency of IM use and
intimacy, demonstrating
that participants feel closer to their Internet partner as time
progresses through this CMC
modality.
Similarly, Underwood and Findlay (2004) studied the effect of
Internet
relationships on primary, specifically non-Internet relationships
and the perceived
intimacy of both. In this study, self-disclosure, or intimacy,
was measured in terms of
shared secrets through the discussion of personal problems.
Participants reported a
significantly higher level of self-disclosure in their Internet
relationship as compared to
their primary relationship. In contrast, the participants’ primary
relationships were
reported as highly self-disclosed in the past, but the current
level of disclosure was
perceived to be lower (Underwood & Findlay, 2004). This
result suggests participants
turned to the Internet in order to fulfill the need for intimacy in
their lives.
55. In further support of this finding, Tidwell and Walther (2002)
hypothesized CMC
participants employ deeper self-disclosures than FtF
participants in order to overcome the
limitations of CMC, e.g., the reliance on nonverbal cues. It was
found that CMC partners
engaged in more frequent intimate questions and disclosures
than FtF partners in order to
overcome the barriers of CMC. In their 2002 study, Tidwell
and Walther measured the
perception of a relationship’s intimacy by the partner of each
participant in both the CMC
and FtF conditions. The researchers found that the participants’
partners stated their
CMC partner was more effective in employing more intimate
exchanges than their FtF

partner, and both participants and their partners rated their
CMC relationship as more
intimate than their FtF relationship.
56. Discussion
In 2002, Cummings et al. stated that the evidence from their
research conflicted
with other data examining the effectiveness of online social
relationships. This statement
is supported by the aforementioned discussion of other research.
There may be a few
possible theoretical explanations for these discrepancies.
Limitations of These Studies
The discrepancies identified may result from a number of
limitations found in the
materials reviewed by Cummings et al. These limitations can
result from technological
constraints, demographic factors, or issues of modality. Each of
these limitations will be
examined in further detail below.
Technological limitations. First, one reviewed study by
Cummings et al. (2002)
examined only email correspondence for their CMC modality.
Therefore, the study is
limited to only one mode of communication among other
alternatives, e.g., IM as studied
by Hu et al. (2004). Because of its many personalized features,
57. IM provides more
personal CMC. For example, it is in real time without delay,
voice-chat and video
features are available for many IM programs, and text boxes can
be personalized with the
user’s picture, favorite colors and text, and a wide variety of
emoticons, e.g., :). These
options allow for both an increase in self-expression and the
ability to overcompensate
for the barriers of CMC through customizable features, as stated
in Tidwell and Walther

(2002). Self-disclosure and intimacy may result from IM’s
individualized features,
which are not as personalized in email correspondence.
Demographic limitations. In addition to the limitations of email,
Cummings et
al. (2002) reviewed studies that focused on international bank
employees and college
students (see Appendix B for demographic information). It is
60. possible the participants’
CMC through email was used primarily for business,
professional, and school matters
and not for relationship creation or maintenance. In this case,
personal self-disclosure
and intimacy levels are expected to be lower for non-
relationship interactions, as this
communication is primarily between boss and employee or
student and professor.
Intimacy is not required, or even desired, for these professional
relationships.
Modality limitations. Instead of professional correspondence,
however,
Cummings et al.’s (2002) review of the HomeNet project
focused on already established
relationships and CMC’s effect on relationship maintenance.
The HomeNet researchers’
sole dependence on email communication as CMC may have
contributed to the lower
levels of intimacy and closeness among Internet relationships as
compared to non-
Internet relationships (as cited in Cummings et al., 2002). The
barriers of non-personal
communication in email could be a factor in this project, and
61. this could lead to less
intimacy among these Internet partners. If alternate modalities
of CMC were studied in
both already established and professional relationships, perhaps
these results would have
resembled those of the previously mentioned research.
VARYING DEFINITIONS OF ONLINE COMMUNICATION
8
Conclusions and Future Study
In order to gain a complete understanding of CMC’s true effect
on both online
and offline relationships, it is necessary to conduct a study that
examines all aspects of
CMC. This includes, but is not limited to, email, IM, voice-
chat, video-chat, online
journals and diaries, online social groups with message boards,
and chat rooms. The
effects on relationships of each modality may be different, and
this is demonstrated by
62. the discrepancies in intimacy between email and IM
correspondence. As each mode of
communication becomes more prevalent in individuals’ lives, it
is important to examine
the impact of all modes of CMC on online and offline
relationship formation,
maintenance, and even termination.
The

the

The HomeNet Project
Started at Carnegie Mellon University in 1995, the HomeNet
research project has
involved a number of studies intended to look at home Internet
usage. Researchers began
this project because the Internet was originally designed as a
tool for scientific and
corporate use. Home usage of the Internet was an unexpected
phenomenon worthy of
extended study.
65. Each of HomeNet’s studies has explored a different facet of
home Internet usage,
such as chatting, playing games, or reading the news. Within the
past few years, the
explosion of social networking has also proven to be an area
deserving of additional
research. Refer to Table A1 for a more detailed description of
HomeNet studies.

Writing Assignment Expectations
I wanted to go over what I expect out of the writing assignments
during this course unless otherwise noted in the assignment.
Formatting:
APA 6th Edition Writing Style Guide is what you will use to
format your papers. I suggest you purchase this guide but if
that is not possible, I have provided many APA documents to
assist you. They are found in the Course Materials
announcement and in the Course Materials section of the
classroom.
Running head:
You must have a correct Running Head in your paper. I have
provided an example below:
75. It should look like the following on the Title Page and be in the
Times New Roman 12 point font:
Running head: TITLE OF YOUR PAPER
1
On the rest of the paper as follows and in the Times New
Roman 12 point font:
TITLE OF YOUR PAPER
2
Title Page:
You must have a correct Title Page. Only put the items
required by APA on the Title Page
Title of Paper
Student Name
University Name
Abstract:
You must provide an Abstract page which is on page 2 of the
paper by itself.
The abstract paragraph should contain your research topic along
with a summary of the key points of your paper.
The Abstract paragraph is never indented. Each line of the
Abstract paragraph is placed against the left margin.
Content: (Introduction, Body of Text, Conclusion)
Introduction:
76. The first line of the paper is always the title of the paper
centered on the page. The Introduction is not labeled as it is
known by default to be the first paragraph of the paper.
When writing an introduction, it should include the following
and it should be in your own words:
1. Introduce your topic.
2. Create some interest in your topic.
3. Provide a little background information on your topic.
4. Identify your main idea
5. Preview some of the key points of your paper.
Your introduction will also include a thesis statement which
will be covered by points 4 and 5.
Body of Text:
The body of text will include the information to back up your
thesis statement. It will include proper headings throughout to
help the reader identify the key points of the paper.
Conclusion:
The conclusion should accomplish the following:
1. Restate the main idea of the paper.
2. Summarize the main points of the paper.
3. Leave the reader with an interesting final impression.
Reference Page:
The Reference page is always on the last page of the paper by
itself. It will contain all the sources you used in the paper.
Sources must be in alphabetical order, and every line must be
double spaced. Remember, only the first line of a source is
placed against the left margin, each additional line of that
source is indented ½ inch. I have provided an example below:
77. Author, A. A. (Year of publication). Title of work: Capital
letter also for subtitle. Location:
Publisher.
Citing and Referencing:
Always, cite and reference every source you use in your paper.
Not citing or referencing your sources or citing or referencing
incorrectly will not be tolerated. APUS takes plagiarism very
seriously. Please be sure to review the APUS plagiarism policy.
Never use Wikipedia as a source in any paper. It is not an
academically recognized source.
Citing:
Example: (Author Last Name, Year of Publication) or if there is
no author, then use the following example (Publishing
Organization, Year of Publication). You can also cite like the
following example: Smith (2009) discusses the need for
additional building codes to keep ensure the safety of all
occupants.
Referencing:
Never place just a website address on the Reference page as a
source. APA has specific instructions for electronic sources.
A basic, but not thorough representation for referencing an
electronic source is as follows:
Author (last name first and the remaining initials. If there is no
author then use the publishing organization. (Year of
Publication). Title of the article (Be aware that only the first
word, a word after a colon, and proper nouns are to be
capitalized in the article title). Publishing organization if the
article contained an author. Retrieved from and then the web
address if it is a source your retrieved online.
78. You will need to look up, on the Internet, some of the minor
differences from what I have shown above when referencing
books, journal articles, newspapers, etc.
Other Grading Items:
· You should not have any punctuation, grammar or spelling
mistakes.
· Your paper must answer the questions presented for the
assignment in a well written and organized manner.
· Never use contractions in a formal paper unless it is from a
direct quote.
· Never copy and paste from a source directly into your paper.
With all of the APA guides that are available in the class and on
the Internet, there are no excuses for turning in an improperly
formatted paper.
If you meet these expectations, you will receive a good grade.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
