This document outlines the requirements for Assignment 1, which has two parts. The first part asks the student to propose a topic for a visual argument, the intended format and audience, their motivations and potential objections. They must also consider identifying sources and establishing credibility. The second part asks the student to find an example brochure or PowerPoint that matches their intended design and explain any changes needed to appeal to their target audience.
· Create an informative 12-minute video or audio news segment on a .docxalinainglis
· Create an informative 12-minute video or audio news segment on a contemporary social issue.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies:
· Competency 1: Explain the nature of ethical issues.
o Explain the selected contemporary issue, with reference to practical instances.
· Competency 3: Engage in ethical debate.
o Describe the relevant contributions to the issue from at least two different academic disciplines.
· Competency 4: Develop a position on a contemporary ethical issue.
o Explain at least two distinct positions on the issue.
o Defend one's personal ethical position on the issue.
· Competency 5: Communicate effectively in the context of personal and professional moral discourse.
o Create a video or audio presentation that reports on a contemporary social issue from multiple perspectives
· Making responsible decisions about major public issues is more complex than a direct application of theory. One source of this complexity is the value of looking at the issue through a variety of disciplinary modes of inquiry:
· Psychology and sociology inform our views of individual and collective behavior.
· Mathematics and the sciences remind us that human life is part of a larger world.
· Literature and mythology encourage us to remember the power of good and evil.
· Medicine points out that what we do affects the health of our bodies.
· Communication and information technology help us learn to talk to each other.
Once again, your instructor has selected a few big issues that need to be considered from more than one of these disciplinary lenses. Learning how to integrate knowledge from multiple fields is a vital transferable skill for practical life.
Another source of complexity in dealing with a major issue is that there are many alternative solutions to think about. Intellectual honesty demands that we think critically about all of them.
· Be sure to describe and examine each alternative position fairly:
o Do not set up a simplistic version that will be easy to demolish rhetorically.
o Taking each opponent’s view seriously clarifies our own convictions.
· Apply critical thinking skills to the position you are defending, too:
o Think about what objections someone else might make to your view.
o Try to show clearly and honestly why you take this position.
Think of your thought on this issue as a chance to practice your skills for engaging in productive moral discourse from multiple points of view.
You have seen how difficult it is to work through a complex public issue by integrating disciplinary insights, debating alternatives, and defending your own position. Now, what are you going to do about it? Perhaps, there is another grand issue about which you care deeply, and the skills you’ve practiced here will work well in dealing with the complexity of that issue as well. The question remains, what will you actually do?.

Guide to Writing an Effective Policy Memo
Fundamentals
Policy memos are straightforward documents that analyze an issue and offer recommendations to
inform and guide a decision-maker. They might be written by policy advisors, advocates, or everyday
citizens seeking to effect change in their community. Although context, purpose, and audience may vary,
strong memos have similar qualities:
Style and Tone
Brevity: The busy reader seeks a concise memo.
Clarity: Memos are written for “uninformed but intelligent” readers, not policy wonks. Be direct,
specific, consistent, and avoid jargon or highly academic language.
Objectivity: Although most memos are written to convince a decision-maker to select a certain
policy, the author should consider multiple perspectives that address the strengths and
weaknesses of all policy options.
Structure
The specific sections of a memo may differ depending on the content, but many memos include:
1. Header (to, from, date, subject)
2. Summary of memo
3. Background and context
4. Recommendations
5. Alternatives
6. Limitations and barriers
7. Conclusion
Key Questions
Depending on the purpose of the memo, the answers to the following questions may inform your final
product:
Who is your audience? What do they know about the issue? What decision-making power do
they possess?
What purpose does the memo serve?
What problem is the policy addressing? Why is it important?
What population(s) is impacted by the policy?
What lever(s) do you (or other stakeholders) propose to address the problem? That is, how will
the policy make its target(s) change their behavior?
What are the benefits and trade-offs of the policy? What alternative policies exist?
What limitations or barriers exist? Consider implementation costs, resources, timing, and
political implications.

I. INTRODUCTION
In this project, you and your group will need to apply a theory of motivation from the course
textbook to a famous person of your choosing. This famous person must be someone who has a
motivation issue. You will need to 1. Explain this theory briefly, 2. Identify how this theory would
see the motivation challenge of the person you are studying and 3. Identify how this theory would
try to help this person with their motivation.
II. LEARNING OUTCOMES
The project addresses the following outcomes as defined in the Course Syllabus:
1. Demonstrate an understanding of motivational psychology through knowledge of motivational
behavioral principles.
2. Demonstrate critical thinking skills necessary to critically assess actual situations explaining human
behavior.
3. Evaluate scientific studies with an understanding of what constitutes a valid research method.
4. Demonstrate effective communication skills by reading primary and secondary source material,
discussing course content, and writing papers.
5. Demonstrate understanding of the diverse assumptions and values that motivate us and our
behaviors.
III. PROJECT FILES
The associated project files are on Moodle
IV. PROJECT SUMMARY (SCENARIO)
Motivation is a critical part of a healthy and productive life. Overcoming challenges to motivation
plays an important role in overcoming difficult times and achieving one’s goals. By understanding
how to apply a theory of motivation to another person, you will have a better idea of how to apply
this theory to yourself.
V. DELIVERABLES AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT
DELIVERABLE 1 (10%): CASE STUDY “MOTIVATIONAL ANALYSIS”
For this deliverable, you will need to prepare an analysis of motivation on the famous person in which you
apply a knowledge of motivation. Your submission must have one reference for each member in the group.
Your case study must follow provided rubrics and count 1000 -1500 words. You must include in-text citations
and a references in APA style. Your submission needs to have depth and to show that you have thought
through it well and researched it well. Where students only provide content that is common sense, quite
obvious, vague, simple, and lacking in depth (ie: Our famous person should motivate himself by being positive
and giving himself rewards), students will lose points. Students are welcome to encourage positive thinking in
their papers, but should also write in a way that is specific, practical, yet meaningful. To avoid providing
information that is lacking in depth, students are encouraged to ask themselves questions ...

The purpose of this discussion is to contrast theories, evidence, beliefs, and biases. Prepare and post a response to the following questions.
Introduction
In life, there are universal laws that govern everything we do. These laws are so perfect that if you were to align yourself with them, you could have so much prosperity that it would be coming out of your ears. This is because God created the universe in the image and likeness of him. It is failure to follow the universal laws that causes one to fail. The laws that were created consisted of the following: ·
Law of Gratitude: The Law of Gratitude states that you must show gratitude for what you have. By having gratitude, you speed your growth and success faster than you normally would. This is because if you appreciate the things you have, even if they are small things, you are open to receiving more.
Law of Attraction: The Law of Attraction states that if you focus your attention on something long enough you will get it. It all starts in the mind. You think of something and when you think of it, you manifest that in your life. This could be a mental picture of a check or actual cash, but you think about it with an image.
Law of Karma: the Law of Karma states that if you go out and do something bad, it will come back to you with something bad. If you do well for others, good things happen to you. The principle here is to know you can create good or bad through your actions. There will always be an effect no matter what.
Law of Love: the Law of Love states that love is more than emotion or feeling; it is energy. It has substance and can be felt. Love is also considered acceptance of oneself or others. This means that no matter what you do in life if you do not approach or leave the situation out of love, it won't work.
Law of Allowing: The Law of Allowing states that for us to get what we want, we must be receptive to it. We can't merely say to the Universe that we want something if we don't allow ourselves to receive it. This will defeat our purpose for wanting it in the first place.
Law of Vibration: the Law of Vibration states that if you wish on something and use your thoughts to visualize it, you are halfway there to get it. To complete the cycle you must use the Law of Vibration to feel part of what you want. Do this and you'll have anything you want in life.
For everything to function properly there has to be structure. Without structure, our world, or universe, would be in utter chaos. Successful people understand universal laws and apply them daily. They may not acknowledge that to you, but they do follow the laws. There is a higher power and this higher power controls the universe and what we get out of it. People who know this, but wish to direct their own lives, follow the reasons. Successful people don't sit around and say "I'll try," they say yes and act on it.

The Law of Attraction
The law of attraction is the most powerful force in the universe. If you work against it, it can only bring you pain and misery. Successful people know this but have kept it hidden from the lower class for centuries because th
Overview In Final Project Part Two, you will develop a multimedia p.docxhoney690131
Overview: In Final Project Part Two, you will develop a multimedia presentation in which you will have a chance to reflect on what you have learned about your issue or event, yourself, and diversity through analyzing its impact on society. You will also be able to apply your communication skills and integrate multimedia elements to communicate your message to an audience. This milestone is due in Module Five.
In developing this presentation, you will be able to use your analyses from the first part of this project as a starting point. The reflective nature of this activity prompts you to dig deeper and consider the implications posed by the critical analysis of your issue or event in diversity. How does studying diversity affect how you understand yourself, as well as the world around you? You’ll also be challenged to incorporate a dash of creativity to enhance your message.
Multimedia Presentation: For the second part of the project, you will create a multimedia presentation that incorporates audio narration and visuals to articulate how critically analyzing your issue/event in diversity impacts your own framework of perception and ability to constructively engage in society.
PowerPoint: You are required to include a combination of text and visuals in order to support your PowerPoint presentation.
Specifically, the following critical elements (which align to the critical elements required of the presentation in Final Project Part Two) must be addressed:
I. Issue/Event: For this section of your presentation, you will introduce the issue/event and how it relates to issues of diversity and any of the topics that have been discussed in the course.
Using appropriate research strategies, describe a social or global issue/event that is related to issues of diversity. i. What is the origin of the issue?
ii. What is the issue about?
Using appropriate research strategies, describe the impact of the issue/event on society.
i. Who is impacted by the issue?
ii. What is important to know about them?
C. Using relevant research or diverse perspectives, assess how society impacts the chosen issue.
Yourself: This section of your presentation explores how studying diversity influences your individual framework of perception with respect to your discipline of study or profession.
How has critically analyzing your issue/event in diversity informed your individual framework of perception? Consider how it has altered the way you perceive the world.
How can critically analyzing diversity influence your field of study or profession? How can studying diversity inform your understanding of the next big topic of study in your field or profession in the next five to ten years?
Society: This section of your presentation explores how studying diversity enhances your ability to engage constructively in society.
How does critically analyzing diversity add value to how you interact with people and understand social or global issues/events? Supple.

The Motivated Sequence
We are now ready to consider how the logical sequence of points within a speech can be adapted to the audience so that the proper response may be secured from it… We must learn to organize the speech as a whole so that its points will combine, both logically and psychologically, to achieve its purpose with the audience… The Speech must be built with the specific audience always in mind, and the structure of the speech must conform to the thinking process of the listener.
1. The Attention Step:
Gaining attention is your main task… but you must gain favorable attention and direct it toward the main ideas in your speech… In short, a good beginning should gain attention, gain goodwill and respect, and lead into the subject… There are eight methods by which these results can be obtained… If the factors of attention are adequately used in applying them.
1. Reference to the Subject of Problem: If the audience has a vital interest in the problem or subject…state it and plunge into the first main point.
2. Reference to the occasion: Speeches which are called forth by the nature of the occasion such as anniversaries, dedication, convention, special events.
3. Personal Greeting: A word from the speaker serves as a starting point, especially when the speaker has prestige… be modest and sincere.
4. Rhetorical Question: Audience is impelled to answer in their own minds.
5. Startling Statement: Shock technique… jars attention of audience into life either by a statement of startling fact, or unexpected phrasing or your opinion.
6. Quotation: Which aptly states the viewpoint of the speaker, it must be unusual and to the point.
7. Humorous Anecdote: Funny story or experience, must be in good taste and to the point.
8. Illustration: Actual incidents taken from real life, stories obtained from literature, and hypothetical illustrations…story must be interesting and be connected to the main idea (most effective method).
(Often two or more are combine…Be sure your attention step leads naturally into the next step of the speech.)
II.
The Need Step:
There are three kinds of need which may be shown, depending upon whether the purpose of the speech is: (These first two types of need step are used in persuasive speeches: those whose general end is to inspire, convince or actuate.)
1. To urge change A definite problem must be shown to exist… make audience dissatisfied with the condition in order to convince that something must be done, felt or decided.
2. To demand the preservation of the status quo After the satisfaction of the listeners with existing conditions or beliefs has been heightened, they must be shown the danger which threatens these conditions unless “something is done” to avert that danger.
3. To inform Here the audience must be made to feel the limited scope of their knowledge in the subject, and to realize the importance to them of information on that subject.

HUM 200 Project Part Two Speaker Notes Draft Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: An effective presentation includes a summary of the main points in the presentation slides, but the presenter adds additional content to unpack each
point on the slides. This is where speaker notes are particularly useful. Some presenters have the capability of memorizing the details and being cued by the
outline in the presentation, or even speaking off the cuff. However, for the purposes of this project, you will document your speaker notes to accompany the
presentation slides you will develop in Week 8. This step will help you consider the outline of your presentation and the content you will want to include on each
slide.
Prompt: Your presentation will have accompanying speaker notes to fill in the details you would include in the presentation, but not necessarily include in the
presentations slides. Your speaker notes can either be bulleted points for each step of your presentation or more developed paragraphs to help you deliver the
presentation. This part is up to you; either way, these notes should contain substantial details to address each of the required parts of your presentation.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Provide a brief overview of your artifacts, theme, and thesis statement. How are they situated within the domain of the humanities?
II. Explain how the theme, as it is expressed in the cultural artifacts, and thesis statement impact the audience. In other words, how is the theme relevant
to members of the audience? Why should the audience care about your thesis statement? Support your response with specific examples from your
exploration document.
III. Describe the evidence from subjective and objective cultural analyses that you have to support your conclusions about the impact of the theme and
cultural artifacts on you personally and on your audience. Support your response with specific examples from your exploration document.
IV. Explain why the theme and cultural artifacts are important to you personally. In other wo ...

Assignment 1: Discussion—Cultural Influences on Work and Leisure Time
American society places much emphasis on merit through work. Vacation periods in the U.S. are the shortest among industrialized nations. Many argue that advanced technology has only busied people’s lives further, instead of alleviating the time necessary to complete day-to-day tasks.
Using the readings for this module, Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, complete the following:
Examine Huizinga’s “Play Theory.” Why is “play” differentiated from other activity? What makes play “play” and not just another activity one does in the day?
Considering this theory, evaluate how culture influences your play and leisure time.
Support your statements with examples and scholarly references.

Assignment 1 Discussion—Communicating Negative InformationAs you .docxcarlibradley31429
Assignment 1: Discussion—Communicating Negative Information
As you learned in the previous module, delivering bad news requires communicating honestly and directly, but also effectively. Communicating negative information or giving feedback to an employee is especially important for both the employee’s as well as the organization’s morale.
Review the following scenario:
Nancy Douglas is an assistant accountant for the hardware division of Crothwall and Associates—an IT company founded in 1997 and currently worth five billion dollars. The company conducts performance appraisals twice a year. Nancy has worked for the company for a year and a half and has received a B grade on her performance for both the appraisal cycles. After her second appraisal, Nancy had made a ten-thousand-dollar accounting mistake. Nancy takes an hour to commute to work and is a single parent. She has two children, ages three and six, and is on medication for insomnia.
Assume that you are an assistant HR manager at Crothwall and Associates. You need to inform Nancy that she has received a C grade on her performance after the third appraisal and this is her only opportunity to improve the quality of her work.
Based on your analysis of the scenario, the module readings, the online library resources, and the Internet, develop a scenario, including dialogue, for the conversation between you and Nancy in this situation. The scenario should be a properly worded communication and use communication etiquette effectively.
Be sure to give reasons for your assertions and support them with scholarly research.

Assignment 1 Discussion—Biomes, Development, Pollution, and YouEa.docxcarlibradley31429
Assignment 1: Discussion—Biomes, Development, Pollution, and You
Each part of the United States has at least one ecological crisis based on location, biome, and industrialization pattern. For example, the Midwest was once a prairie with very fertile soil. However, when people realized that with the right watering and drainage system this area could become productive farmland, there arose ecological problems. The conversion of the prairie to farmland is the root cause of many ecological problems in this region.
Regardless of what biome you consider, humans have likely had an impact on the ecology of that area.
For this assignment, identify the biome in which you live. The following are a few examples of biomes:
Tropical rainforests: This biome has high average temperatures, high moisture levels, and high species diversity.
Prairies: The prairies have grassland-variable temperatures, variable moisture levels—depending on proximity to mountain ranges—and are mainly dominated by grasses and ungulate herbivores.
Deserts: These biomes have hotter average temperatures, low moisture, lower species diversity, and a composition of species limited mainly to those that are adapted to hot temperatures.
Temperate forests: The temperate forests have variable temperatures, high moisture levels, and higher species diversity.
Taigas: These biomes have colder average temperatures, lower moisture levels, and lower species diversity.
Tundras: The tundras have cold average temperatures, low moisture levels, and low species diversity.
Coral reefs: These biomes have high average temperatures and high species diversity.
Open oceans: These biomes have a wide range of temperatures and species diversity varies.
Chaparrals: The chaparrals have higher average temperatures, lower moisture levels, and are dominated mainly by grasses and shrubs.
Alpines: These biomes have low average temperatures, low precipitation, and receive high ultraviolet (UV) rays due to high elevation.
Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, respond to the following:
Explain how humans have impacted the biome in which you live. List the types of environmental damage that have been caused and the species that have been impacted.
Describe the major pollution issues for your biome, and elaborate on the sources of this pollution.
List any species that have become extinct in this biome.
Support your statements with appropriate examples and scholarly references.

Assignment 1 Discussion—A Life in ReviewIn late adulthood, most p.docxcarlibradley31429
Assignment 1: Discussion—A Life in Review
In late adulthood, most people engage in a process of life review. They recall their life histories and recount them to others as well. As people review the important events from their lives, they create a picture of their lives as an integrated whole. The last stage of Erikson’s theory is called ego integrity versus despair. As people complete their life reviews, they may feel a sense of integrity. This means they look back upon their lives with a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. Others may have a sense of despair. They often feel unfulfilled and have regret about choices they have made or events that have occurred.
Many people fear and dread the late adulthood stage of life because they believe what awaits them is ill health and cognitive decline. While that description fits some adults in later life, it certainly does not describe them all. Many older adults lead healthy, active lives and are closely connected to their families and communities.
Use your module readings and the Argosy University online library resources to research the process of life review.
Conduct your own life review and then respond to the following:
What do you look forward to about getting older?
What would you most like to look back on?
How do you view Erikson’s stage of integrity versus despair as it relates to your own life?
Support your arguments with research, citing sources.

Assignment 1: Discussion—Employee Impact on the Plan
An organization can come up with the best strategy but in order to execute and be effective/successful it takes human capital to implement. Employees (management and staff alike) need to be bought into any strategy and its proposed results—this can make or break a plan. Understanding organizational behavior is an important part of plan execution.
Using the module readings, the Internet, respond to the following for your own organization or an organization you know well:
What are the individual behaviors that you can observe that have the most dramatic impact on the organization’s performance (good or bad)?
What within the work setting drives these behaviors?
What are the implications of these behaviors for recruiting and training new employees?

This is how I typically sound in my writing...this can be used as a focal point for the discussion:
Organizational behavior (OB) is the study of individuals and their behavior within an organization. It is an interdisciplinary field that includes sociology, psychology, communication and management. (Cornell University Library Guides, 2011) Organizations are referred to as a group of people that share a common purpose within the same environment. Organizational behavior therefore refers to how groups of people behave within the organization due to the changes in culture with each stage of the business.
Power is the ability to make things happen, as you want them to through a person, team or organization. It can be getting anyone to do what you want done. However, influence is the possession of what you have when power is exercised. (Organizational Behavior, 2003)
My organization: Darden Restaurants. You can make anything up. :)

Guide to Writing an Effective Policy Memo
Fundamentals
Policy memos are straightforward documents that analyze an issue and offer recommendations to
inform and guide a decision-maker. They might be written by policy advisors, advocates, or everyday
citizens seeking to effect change in their community. Although context, purpose, and audience may vary,
strong memos have similar qualities:
Style and Tone
Brevity: The busy reader seeks a concise memo.
Clarity: Memos are written for “uninformed but intelligent” readers, not policy wonks. Be direct,
specific, consistent, and avoid jargon or highly academic language.
Objectivity: Although most memos are written to convince a decision-maker to select a certain
policy, the author should consider multiple perspectives that address the strengths and
weaknesses of all policy options.
Structure
The specific sections of a memo may differ depending on the content, but many memos include:
1. Header (to, from, date, subject)
2. Summary of memo
3. Background and context
4. Recommendations
5. Alternatives
6. Limitations and barriers
7. Conclusion
Key Questions
Depending on the purpose of the memo, the answers to the following questions may inform your final
product:
Who is your audience? What do they know about the issue? What decision-making power do
they possess?
What purpose does the memo serve?
What problem is the policy addressing? Why is it important?
What population(s) is impacted by the policy?
What lever(s) do you (or other stakeholders) propose to address the problem? That is, how will
the policy make its target(s) change their behavior?
What are the benefits and trade-offs of the policy? What alternative policies exist?
What limitations or barriers exist? Consider implementation costs, resources, timing, and
political implications.

DELIVERABLE 1 (10%): CASE STUDY “MOTIVATIONAL ANALYSIS”
For this deliverable, you will need to prepare an analysis of motivation on the famous person in which you
apply a knowledge of motivation. Your submission must have one reference for each member in the group.
Your case study must follow provided rubrics and count 1000 -1500 words. You must include in-text citations
and a references in APA style. Your submission needs to have depth and to show that you have thought
through it well and researched it well. Where students only provide content that is common sense, quite
obvious, vague, simple, and lacking in depth (ie: Our famous person should motivate himself by being positive
and giving himself rewards), students will lose points. Students are welcome to encourage positive thinking in
their papers, but should also write in a way that is specific, practical, yet meaningful. To avoid providing
information that is lacking in depth, students are encouraged to ask themselves questions ...

The purpose of this discussion is to contrast theories, evidence, beliefs, and biases. Prepare and post a response to the following questions.
Introduction
In life, there are universal laws that govern everything we do. These laws are so perfect that if you were to align yourself with them, you could have so much prosperity that it would be coming out of your ears. This is because God created the universe in the image and likeness of him. It is failure to follow the universal laws that causes one to fail. The laws that were created consisted of the following: ·
Law of Gratitude: The Law of Gratitude states that you must show gratitude for what you have. By having gratitude, you speed your growth and success faster than you normally would. This is because if you appreciate the things you have, even if they are small things, you are open to receiving more.
Law of Attraction: The Law of Attraction states that if you focus your attention on something long enough you will get it. It all starts in the mind. You think of something and when you think of it, you manifest that in your life. This could be a mental picture of a check or actual cash, but you think about it with an image.
Law of Karma: the Law of Karma states that if you go out and do something bad, it will come back to you with something bad. If you do well for others, good things happen to you. The principle here is to know you can create good or bad through your actions. There will always be an effect no matter what.
Law of Love: the Law of Love states that love is more than emotion or feeling; it is energy. It has substance and can be felt. Love is also considered acceptance of oneself or others. This means that no matter what you do in life if you do not approach or leave the situation out of love, it won't work.
Law of Allowing: The Law of Allowing states that for us to get what we want, we must be receptive to it. We can't merely say to the Universe that we want something if we don't allow ourselves to receive it. This will defeat our purpose for wanting it in the first place.
Law of Vibration: the Law of Vibration states that if you wish on something and use your thoughts to visualize it, you are halfway there to get it. To complete the cycle you must use the Law of Vibration to feel part of what you want. Do this and you'll have anything you want in life.
For everything to function properly there has to be structure. Without structure, our world, or universe, would be in utter chaos. Successful people understand universal laws and apply them daily. They may not acknowledge that to you, but they do follow the laws. There is a higher power and this higher power controls the universe and what we get out of it. People who know this, but wish to direct their own lives, follow the reasons. Successful people don't sit around and say "I'll try," they say yes and act on it.

The Law of Attraction
The law of attraction is the most powerful force in the universe. If you work against it, it can only bring you pain and misery. Successful people know this but have kept it hidden from the lower class for centuries because th
Overview In Final Project Part Two, you will develop a multimedia p.docxhoney690131
Overview: In Final Project Part Two, you will develop a multimedia presentation in which you will have a chance to reflect on what you have learned about your issue or event, yourself, and diversity through analyzing its impact on society. You will also be able to apply your communication skills and integrate multimedia elements to communicate your message to an audience. This milestone is due in Module Five.
In developing this presentation, you will be able to use your analyses from the first part of this project as a starting point. The reflective nature of this activity prompts you to dig deeper and consider the implications posed by the critical analysis of your issue or event in diversity. How does studying diversity affect how you understand yourself, as well as the world around you? You’ll also be challenged to incorporate a dash of creativity to enhance your message.
Multimedia Presentation: For the second part of the project, you will create a multimedia presentation that incorporates audio narration and visuals to articulate how critically analyzing your issue/event in diversity impacts your own framework of perception and ability to constructively engage in society.
PowerPoint: You are required to include a combination of text and visuals in order to support your PowerPoint presentation.
Specifically, the following critical elements (which align to the critical elements required of the presentation in Final Project Part Two) must be addressed:
I. Issue/Event: For this section of your presentation, you will introduce the issue/event and how it relates to issues of diversity and any of the topics that have been discussed in the course.
Using appropriate research strategies, describe a social or global issue/event that is related to issues of diversity. i. What is the origin of the issue?
ii. What is the issue about?
Using appropriate research strategies, describe the impact of the issue/event on society.
i. Who is impacted by the issue?
ii. What is important to know about them?
C. Using relevant research or diverse perspectives, assess how society impacts the chosen issue.
Yourself: This section of your presentation explores how studying diversity influences your individual framework of perception with respect to your discipline of study or profession.
How has critically analyzing your issue/event in diversity informed your individual framework of perception? Consider how it has altered the way you perceive the world.
How can critically analyzing diversity influence your field of study or profession? How can studying diversity inform your understanding of the next big topic of study in your field or profession in the next five to ten years?
Society: This section of your presentation explores how studying diversity enhances your ability to engage constructively in society.
How does critically analyzing diversity add value to how you interact with people and understand social or global issues/events? Supple.

The Motivated Sequence
We are now ready to consider how the logical sequence of points within a speech can be adapted to the audience so that the proper response may be secured from it… We must learn to organize the speech as a whole so that its points will combine, both logically and psychologically, to achieve its purpose with the audience… The Speech must be built with the specific audience always in mind, and the structure of the speech must conform to the thinking process of the listener.
1. The Attention Step:
Gaining attention is your main task… but you must gain favorable attention and direct it toward the main ideas in your speech… In short, a good beginning should gain attention, gain goodwill and respect, and lead into the subject… There are eight methods by which these results can be obtained… If the factors of attention are adequately used in applying them.
1. Reference to the Subject of Problem: If the audience has a vital interest in the problem or subject…state it and plunge into the first main point.
2. Reference to the occasion: Speeches which are called forth by the nature of the occasion such as anniversaries, dedication, convention, special events.
3. Personal Greeting: A word from the speaker serves as a starting point, especially when the speaker has prestige… be modest and sincere.
4. Rhetorical Question: Audience is impelled to answer in their own minds.
5. Startling Statement: Shock technique… jars attention of audience into life either by a statement of startling fact, or unexpected phrasing or your opinion.
6. Quotation: Which aptly states the viewpoint of the speaker, it must be unusual and to the point.
7. Humorous Anecdote: Funny story or experience, must be in good taste and to the point.
8. Illustration: Actual incidents taken from real life, stories obtained from literature, and hypothetical illustrations…story must be interesting and be connected to the main idea (most effective method).
(Often two or more are combine…Be sure your attention step leads naturally into the next step of the speech.)
II.
The Need Step:
There are three kinds of need which may be shown, depending upon whether the purpose of the speech is: (These first two types of need step are used in persuasive speeches: those whose general end is to inspire, convince or actuate.)
1. To urge change A definite problem must be shown to exist… make audience dissatisfied with the condition in order to convince that something must be done, felt or decided.
2. To demand the preservation of the status quo After the satisfaction of the listeners with existing conditions or beliefs has been heightened, they must be shown the danger which threatens these conditions unless “something is done” to avert that danger.
3. To inform Here the audience must be made to feel the limited scope of their knowledge in the subject, and to realize the importance to them of information on that subject.

HUM 200 Project Part Two Speaker Notes Draft Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: An effective presentation includes a summary of the main points in the presentation slides, but the presenter adds additional content to unpack each
point on the slides. This is where speaker notes are particularly useful. Some presenters have the capability of memorizing the details and being cued by the
outline in the presentation, or even speaking off the cuff. However, for the purposes of this project, you will document your speaker notes to accompany the
presentation slides you will develop in Week 8. This step will help you consider the outline of your presentation and the content you will want to include on each
slide.
Prompt: Your presentation will have accompanying speaker notes to fill in the details you would include in the presentation, but not necessarily include in the
presentations slides. Your speaker notes can either be bulleted points for each step of your presentation or more developed paragraphs to help you deliver the
presentation. This part is up to you; either way, these notes should contain substantial details to address each of the required parts of your presentation.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Provide a brief overview of your artifacts, theme, and thesis statement. How are they situated within the domain of the humanities?
II. Explain how the theme, as it is expressed in the cultural artifacts, and thesis statement impact the audience. In other words, how is the theme relevant
to members of the audience? Why should the audience care about your thesis statement? Support your response with specific examples from your
exploration document.
III. Describe the evidence from subjective and objective cultural analyses that you have to support your conclusions about the impact of the theme and
cultural artifacts on you personally and on your audience. Support your response with specific examples from your exploration document.
IV. Explain why the theme and cultural artifacts are important to you personally. In other wo ...

Assignment 1: Discussion—Cultural Influences on Work and Leisure Time
American society places much emphasis on merit through work. Vacation periods in the U.S. are the shortest among industrialized nations. Many argue that advanced technology has only busied people’s lives further, instead of alleviating the time necessary to complete day-to-day tasks.
Using the readings for this module, Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, complete the following:
Examine Huizinga’s “Play Theory.” Why is “play” differentiated from other activity? What makes play “play” and not just another activity one does in the day?
Considering this theory, evaluate how culture influences your play and leisure time.

Assignment 1 Discussion—Communicating Negative InformationAs you .docxcarlibradley31429
Assignment 1: Discussion—Communicating Negative Information
As you learned in the previous module, delivering bad news requires communicating honestly and directly, but also effectively. Communicating negative information or giving feedback to an employee is especially important for both the employee’s as well as the organization’s morale.
Review the following scenario:
Nancy Douglas is an assistant accountant for the hardware division of Crothwall and Associates—an IT company founded in 1997 and currently worth five billion dollars. The company conducts performance appraisals twice a year. Nancy has worked for the company for a year and a half and has received a B grade on her performance for both the appraisal cycles. After her second appraisal, Nancy had made a ten-thousand-dollar accounting mistake. Nancy takes an hour to commute to work and is a single parent. She has two children, ages three and six, and is on medication for insomnia.
Assume that you are an assistant HR manager at Crothwall and Associates. You need to inform Nancy that she has received a C grade on her performance after the third appraisal and this is her only opportunity to improve the quality of her work.
Based on your analysis of the scenario, the module readings, the online library resources, and the Internet, develop a scenario, including dialogue, for the conversation between you and Nancy in this situation. The scenario should be a properly worded communication and use communication etiquette effectively.
Be sure to give reasons for your assertions and support them with scholarly research.

Assignment 1 Discussion—Biomes, Development, Pollution, and YouEa.docxcarlibradley31429
Assignment 1: Discussion—Biomes, Development, Pollution, and You
Each part of the United States has at least one ecological crisis based on location, biome, and industrialization pattern. For example, the Midwest was once a prairie with very fertile soil. However, when people realized that with the right watering and drainage system this area could become productive farmland, there arose ecological problems. The conversion of the prairie to farmland is the root cause of many ecological problems in this region.
Regardless of what biome you consider, humans have likely had an impact on the ecology of that area.
For this assignment, identify the biome in which you live. The following are a few examples of biomes:
Tropical rainforests: This biome has high average temperatures, high moisture levels, and high species diversity.
Prairies: The prairies have grassland-variable temperatures, variable moisture levels—depending on proximity to mountain ranges—and are mainly dominated by grasses and ungulate herbivores.
Deserts: These biomes have hotter average temperatures, low moisture, lower species diversity, and a composition of species limited mainly to those that are adapted to hot temperatures.
Temperate forests: The temperate forests have variable temperatures, high moisture levels, and higher species diversity.
Taigas: These biomes have colder average temperatures, lower moisture levels, and lower species diversity.
Tundras: The tundras have cold average temperatures, low moisture levels, and low species diversity.
Coral reefs: These biomes have high average temperatures and high species diversity.
Open oceans: These biomes have a wide range of temperatures and species diversity varies.
Chaparrals: The chaparrals have higher average temperatures, lower moisture levels, and are dominated mainly by grasses and shrubs.
Alpines: These biomes have low average temperatures, low precipitation, and receive high ultraviolet (UV) rays due to high elevation.
Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, respond to the following:
Explain how humans have impacted the biome in which you live. List the types of environmental damage that have been caused and the species that have been impacted.
Describe the major pollution issues for your biome, and elaborate on the sources of this pollution.
List any species that have become extinct in this biome.
Support your statements with appropriate examples and scholarly references.

Assignment 1 Discussion—A Life in ReviewIn late adulthood, most p.docxcarlibradley31429
Assignment 1: Discussion—A Life in Review
In late adulthood, most people engage in a process of life review. They recall their life histories and recount them to others as well. As people review the important events from their lives, they create a picture of their lives as an integrated whole. The last stage of Erikson’s theory is called ego integrity versus despair. As people complete their life reviews, they may feel a sense of integrity. This means they look back upon their lives with a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. Others may have a sense of despair. They often feel unfulfilled and have regret about choices they have made or events that have occurred.
Many people fear and dread the late adulthood stage of life because they believe what awaits them is ill health and cognitive decline. While that description fits some adults in later life, it certainly does not describe them all. Many older adults lead healthy, active lives and are closely connected to their families and communities.
Use your module readings and the Argosy University online library resources to research the process of life review.
Conduct your own life review and then respond to the following:
What do you look forward to about getting older?
What would you most like to look back on?
How do you view Erikson’s stage of integrity versus despair as it relates to your own life?
Support your arguments with research, citing sources.

Assignment 1: Discussion—Employee Impact on the Plan
An organization can come up with the best strategy but in order to execute and be effective/successful it takes human capital to implement. Employees (management and staff alike) need to be bought into any strategy and its proposed results—this can make or break a plan. Understanding organizational behavior is an important part of plan execution.
Using the module readings, the Internet, respond to the following for your own organization or an organization you know well:
What are the individual behaviors that you can observe that have the most dramatic impact on the organization’s performance (good or bad)?
What within the work setting drives these behaviors?
What are the implications of these behaviors for recruiting and training new employees?

This is how I typically sound in my writing...this can be used as a focal point for the discussion:
Organizational behavior (OB) is the study of individuals and their behavior within an organization. It is an interdisciplinary field that includes sociology, psychology, communication and management. (Cornell University Library Guides, 2011) Organizations are referred to as a group of people that share a common purpose within the same environment. Organizational behavior therefore refers to how groups of people behave within the organization due to the changes in culture with each stage of the business.
Power is the ability to make things happen, as you want them to through a person, team or organization. It can be getting anyone to do what you want done. However, influence is the possession of what you have when power is exercised. (Organizational Behavior, 2003)

There is no universal agreed-upon definition of terrorism. Terrorism means different things to different people, governments, and organizations based upon context.
Write a 2-4-page paper in which you do the following:
Summarize, with citations, at least four different definitions of terrorism.
Note
: The definitions must come from sources such as U.S. government agencies (e.g., FBI, DOJ, CIA, DOD, DHS, DOS, DIA, NSA, etc.), international agencies and / or foreign governments (e.g. United Nations, England, Israel, etc.), or terrorism experts (e.g. Bruce Hoffman, Walter Laqueur, Brian Jenkins, Paul Pillar, etc.).
Compare and contrast two of the four definitions summarized in Question 1. Provide a rationale for the differences between the two definitions based upon the context of the people, governments, and / or organizations that developed the definition.
Select one of the four chosen definitions of terrorism that you believe most accurately defines terrorism. Recommend at least one change or enhancement that you would make to the definition. Provide a rationale for your response.

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
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.

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
