Film Analysis Assignment
Purpose:
To encourage you to become critical observers of interpersonal communication skills, choose a movie to review from the suggested film list. After watching the film write a 4-5 page (minimum of 1000 words) paper using these guidelines. All papers must follow APA or MLA guidelines, use Times New Roman font, be double spaced, 12 point font, and 1 inch margins.
Instructions
: This assignment is to be completed in three parts (see below). Choose a film from the list provided below. Watch the film and write an analysis paper based on concepts covered in this interpersonal communication class. You may need to watch the film more than once to complete this assignment.
In the
introductory paragraph
, provide the following elements:
Offer a creative opening for the paper that grabs the reader’s attention.
Briefly
summarize the film. The summary could include: the title, the plot, and the main characters.
Offer a clear
thesis
for the essay. A thesis statement explains to the reader how you plan to interpret the subject, tells the reader what to expect from the paper (road map), and answers the ‘so what’ question about how this film can be interpreted using vital interpersonal communication theories and concepts.
Provide an overview of how the paper will be organized that includes the specific concepts that will be discussed.
In the
body
of the essay, using separate paragraphs, analyze five (5)
different
interpersonal communication concepts
from at least three (3) different chapters
that are demonstrated in the movie.
For
each
interpersonal concept:
Define
the concept using the textbook and provide an example from the film that demonstrates the concept. Be specific: describe the character(s) and/or event(s) where the concept is demonstrated and use terms from the text.
Evaluate
whether the concept is applied effectively or ineffectively (good example or bad example). Take a position and explain why you believe this to be true. First-person language is acceptable.
Analyze
the consequences of the concept’s effective or ineffective application. Consider short-term and long-term consequences to the character(s) and plot. In other words, project beyond the movie. If the movie continued, or had a sequel, how do you think the consequences would impact the character(s).
What does it mean to analyze?
When your instructor asks you to write an
analysis
, don’t panic. All they want is for you to take something apart to see how it works. To write an analysis, think about how each part of something contributes to the success of the whole.
CAUTION: Make sure that you are not just summarizing the scene from your movie. Go beyond telling us what you are talking about. Describe
how
and
why
its elements function.
Summarizing = WHAT Analyzing = HOW & WHY
In addition to using theories from the textbook, utilize at least one credible outside source as part of your analysis of a specifi ...

Literary Analysis Essay Assignment
A literary analysis essay typically requires you to write about the meaning you have inferred
from a piece of literature (e.g., a novel, film, play, poem, etc.). You are expected to have a
thesis and support it with evidence (examples) from the literary work. Typically, you’ll analyze
the idea or message, plot, characters, tone, use of symbolism, writing style, or any other
devices that the author has used. Analysis of a film or play might focus on visual effects,
lighting, sequencing or how an actor portrays a character.
In a literary analysis essay, you do not focus entirely on the plot. Rather, you look at how the
plot was designed, why it was developed, the choices an author made and whether these
choices are effective choices. Although some context may be needed so readers can
understand, you are not being asked to write a book report. The purpose is not to give a
summary of the plot to prove you have read and understood it. Instead, you will offer an idea
and present it through careful examination of the author’s or director’s choices. You are
expected to refer to portions of the text or film to support your ideas. The goal is to make
readers learn something new about the literary piece, or watch or read it with “new eyes.”
Here is a summary of a long, 15-page paper, “Gender Roles in Disney Films: Analyzing
Behaviors from Snow White to Simba,” written by a graduate student:
For this Assignment:
The purpose of this assignment is to help you develop your analytical skills, your ability to
support an idea with evidence from a text or image, and your ability to organize logically what
you want to say. With a peer partner, you will write a 500-word literary analysis essay in which
you compare/contrast TWO FILMS.
Choose your films and your topic carefully after brainstorming together. Later in the semester,
both of you will present your analysis to the class in a short presentation. When choosing a
topic,
While television cartoons have served as focal points for researchers concerned about gender
depictions in Disney works, their film counterparts have received little attention. This study
analyzed Disney full-length animated films to identify the gendered “world view” they
provide for young viewers. Prosocial and antisocial behaviors were examined to determine
the prevalence of gender stereotypes within the films. Specific attention was paid to gender
issues regarding victims of antisocial acts, contrasts between heroes and heroines, and
differences between female and male villains.

COM 203: Introduction to Communication Final Analysis Paper
150 points
Your final paper will be related to the movie The Devil Wears Prada. We will watch this movie during class time, but if you are absent from class on the day(s) the movie is shown, it will be your responsibility to obtain a copy of the film and watch it outside of class on your own time. The movie exemplifies many of the different types of communication interactions we have learned throughout the course. Pick
1 type of interaction
that you will focus your paper on:
Ø
Interpersonal relationships (both romantic and friendship)
Ø
Organizational communication (superior/subordinate, and colleagues)
Ø
Small group communication
Ø
Intercultural communication (remember this is not just based on race/ethnicity but may also
include people from different social circles or different priorities)
Note: When making this decision it is important to consider which topic is of most interest to you. You may want to watch some of the movie before making your decision. Therefore, I recommend you take notes on each type of interaction so that you can make your decision at a later time.
Within each of these types of interactions you will see a number of different communication principles we have learned throughout the course. You will pick a
minimum of 3 principles
to focus on:
Ø
Verbal communication (language, language functions, connotative/denotative, concrete/abstract, direct/indirect perception checking)
Ø
Nonverbal communication (nonverbal codes)
Ø
Listening and adapting to others (listening styles, barriers to listening, noise, perception
checking)
Ø
Leadership and power
Ø
Organizational climate and culture (upward/downward, communication traits, bureaucracy)
Ø
Diversity (labeling, prejudice, discrimination, ethnocentrism/chauvinism, cultural
dimensions, role-taking, assuming similarity/differences, in-group/out-group)
Ø
Relational escalation and de-escalation
Ø
Conflict and conflict resolution
Ø
Mass communication and media literacy (convergence, platform agnostic, media multi-
taskers, media addiction, concentration of ownership, hyper-commercialism, product placement)
Note: Each bullet point counts as one principle. For example you might choose (1) verbal communication, (2) leadership and power, and (3) organizational climate and culture. Within each of these categories you can focus on as many subtopics as you wish. However, if you only discuss language, its functions, and connotative/denotative language that only counts as one principle, not three!
Finally, you must include a
minimum of 1 communication theory
we have discussed in class:
Ø
Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis
Ø
Expectancy Violations Theory
Ø
Uncertainty Reduction Theory
Ø
Social Penetration Theory
Ø
Social Exchange Theory
Ø
Relational Dialectics Theory
Ø
Structuration Theory
Ø

1. For assistance with these calculations, see the Recommended Resources for Week One. Data, even numerically code variables, can be one of 4 levels – nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio. It is important to identify which level a variable is, as this impacts the kind of analysis we can do with the data. For example, descriptive statistics such as means can only be done on interval or ratio level data. Please list, under each label, the variables in our data set that belong in each group.

1. The first step in analyzing data sets is to find some summary descriptive statistics for key variables. For salary, compa, age, Performance Rating, and Service; find the mean and standard deviation for 3 groups: overall sample, Females, and Males. You can use either the Data Analysis Descriptive Statistics tool or the Fx = average and = stdev functions. Note: Place data to the right, if you use Descriptive statistics, place that to the right as well:
Salary
Overall = 45
Male = 52
Female = 38
Compa
Overall = 1.062
Male = 1.056
Female = 1.069
Age
Overall = 35.72
Male = 38.92
Female = 32.52
Performance rating
Overall = 85.9
Male = 87.6
Female = 84.2
Service
Overall = 8.96
Male = 10
Female = 7.92
Standard Deviations
Salary
Overall = 19.20140301
Male = 17.77638883
Female = 18.29389698
Compa
Overall = 0.07682507
Male = 0.083789061
Female = 0.070344699
Age
Overall = 8.251258407
Male = 8.38609961
Female = 8.251258407
Performance rating
Overall = 11.41472375
Male = 8.674675786
Female = 13.59227722
Service
Overall = 5.717713258
Male = 6.357410374
Female = 4.906798005
2. What is the probability for a:
a. Randomly selected person being a male in grade E?
= 25/49*12/49
= 0.1249
b. Randomly selected male being in grade E?
= 10/25
= 0.4
c. Why are the results different?
When we look at the first instance it would show that a person would be randomly chosen from the total population, and I look at the second the individual or person is chosen randomly from a group of only males.
4. For each group (overall, females, and males) find::
a. The value that cuts off the top 1/3 salary in each group.
Overall = 58
Male = 62
Female = 41
b. The z score for each value.
z = (X - μ) / σ
Overall = (58-45)/19.20 = 0.67708
Male = (62-52)/17.77 = 0.5627
Female = (41-38)/18.29 = 0.1640
c. The normal curve probability of exceeding this score.
Overall = 0.2332
Male = 0.2147
Female = 0.1332
d. What is the empirical probability of being at or exceeding this salary value?
Overall = 0.2525
Male = 0.2214
Female = 0.1564
e. The score that cuts off the top 1/3 compa in each group.
Overall = 1.096
Male = 1.086
Female = 1.096
f. The z score for each value.
z = (X - μ) / σ
Overall = (1.096-1.062)/0.07683 = 0.4425
Male = .

Within each of these types of interactions you will see a number of different communication principles we have learned throughout the course. You will pick a
minimum of 3 principles
to focus on:
Ø
Verbal communication (language, language functions, connotative/denotative, concrete/abstract, direct/indirect perception checking)
Ø
Nonverbal communication (nonverbal codes)
Ø
Listening and adapting to others (listening styles, barriers to listening, noise, perception
checking)
Ø
Leadership and power
Ø
Organizational climate and culture (upward/downward, communication traits, bureaucracy)
Ø
Diversity (labeling, prejudice, discrimination, ethnocentrism/chauvinism, cultural
dimensions, role-taking, assuming similarity/differences, in-group/out-group)
Ø
Relational escalation and de-escalation
Ø
Conflict and conflict resolution
Ø
Mass communication and media literacy (convergence, platform agnostic, media multi-
taskers, media addiction, concentration of ownership, hyper-commercialism, product placement)
Note: Each bullet point counts as one principle. For example you might choose (1) verbal communication, (2) leadership and power, and (3) organizational climate and culture. Within each of these categories you can focus on as many subtopics as you wish. However, if you only discuss language, its functions, and connotative/denotative language that only counts as one principle, not three!
Finally, you must include a
minimum of 1 communication theory
we have discussed in class:
Ø
Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis
Ø
Expectancy Violations Theory
Ø
Uncertainty Reduction Theory
Ø
Social Penetration Theory
Ø
Social Exchange Theory
Ø
Relational Dialectics Theory

1. For assistance with these calculations, see the Recommended Resources for Week One. Data, even numerically code variables, can be one of 4 levels – nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio. It is important to identify which level a variable is, as this impacts the kind of analysis we can do with the data. For example, descriptive statistics such as means can only be done on interval or ratio level data. Please list, under each label, the variables in our data set that belong in each group.
Nominal
ID
Gender
Gender 1
Ordinal
Degree
Grade
Midpoint
Interval
Salary
Age
Performance Rating
Service
Ratio
Compa
Raise
1. The first step in analyzing data sets is to find some summary descriptive statistics for key variables. For salary, compa, age, Performance Rating, and Service; find the mean and standard deviation for 3 groups: overall sample, Females, and Males. You can use either the Data Analysis Descriptive Statistics tool or the Fx = average and = stdev functions. Note: Place data to the right, if you use Descriptive statistics, place that to the right as well:
Salary
Overall = 45
Male = 52
Female = 38
Compa
Overall = 1.062
Male = 1.056
Female = 1.069
Age
Overall = 35.72
Male = 38.92
Female = 32.52
Performance rating
Overall = 85.9
Male = 87.6
Female = 84.2
Service
Overall = 8.96
Male = 10
Female = 7.92
Standard Deviations
Salary
Overall = 19.20140301
Male = 17.77638883
Female = 18.29389698
Compa
Overall = 0.07682507
Male = 0.083789061
Female = 0.070344699
Age
Overall = 8.251258407
Male = 8.38609961
Female = 8.251258407
Performance rating
Overall = 11.41472375
Male = 8.674675786
Female = 13.59227722
Service
Overall = 5.717713258
Male = 6.357410374
Female = 4.906798005
2. What is the probability for a:
a. Randomly selected person being a male in grade E?
= 25/49*12/49
= 0.1249
b. Randomly selected male being in grade E?
= 10/25
= 0.4
c. Why are the results different?
When we look at the first instance it would show that a person would be randomly chosen from the total population, and I look at the second the individual or person is chosen randomly from a group of only males.
4. For each group (overall, females, and males) find::
a. The value that cuts off the top 1/3 salary in each group.
Overall = 58
Male = 62
Female = 41
b. The z score for each value.
z = (X - μ) / σ
Overall = (58-45)/19.20 = 0.67708
Male = (62-52)/17.77 = 0.5627
Female = (41-38)/18.29 = 0.1640
c. The normal curve probability of exceeding this score.
Overall = 0.2332
Male = 0.2147
Female = 0.1332
d. What is the empirical probability of being at or exceeding this salary value?
Overall = 0.2525
Male = 0.2214
Female = 0.1564
e. The score that cuts off the top 1/3 compa in each group.
Overall = 1.096
Male = 1.086
Female = 1.096
f. The z score for each value.
z = (X - μ) / σ
Overall = (1.096-1.062)/0.07683 = 0.4425
Male = .
Assignment #2 Instructions Evaluating MediaFor this assignment,.docxdavezstarr61655
Assignment #2 Instructions: Evaluating Media
For this assignment, students will write an evaluative essay comparing two media. You'll use the short story "The Bear Came Over the Mountain" and the film Away from Her. You will begin working on this assignment (reading, viewing, drafting) in Unit 5, but submit the final paper in Unit 6.
An evaluative essay has three main components:
1. criteria
2. judgment
3. evidence
For this essay, the short story is the source material. You're going to evaluate how well the film stands up to the short story. So, first, you must establish criteria. What makes the short story successful? You want to think about this very carefully as you read and make notes. Notice elements of plot, structure, character, and point of view. You'll write about these in the first section of your paper.
Then, you'll judge the movie based on the criteria you've established. Determine whether or not the film meets the criteria you established in the first part of the paper. Include evidence from both the text and the movie to support your judgments.
Finally, make an ultimate judgment. Does the film live up to the standards set by the story?
This essay should:
· have specific criteria, using the short story as source material
· use that criterion to make judgments about the film
· support the judgment with evidence from the text and film
· be 1000 -1200 words long
· have an explicit thesis statement, with the main idea (the topic of the paper) and a controlling idea (what you, as the author, is saying about the topic)
· In this case, we're making a judgment, and that should be included in the thesis. Remember -- this judgment is not about the film or text being good or bad. It's about whether or not the film lives up to the criteria established in the short story.
· include an integrated, direct quote from the text/film to support the thesis in each of the body paragraphs
· be written using APA formatting guidelines
· use APA guidelines for citation, both in-text and on a References page
· avoid using 1st- or 2nd-person references (focus on objective 3rd-person references instead)
· be submitted as a MS Word .docx file
Quotations and In-Text Citation:
Quotations must be in quotation marks and all quotations must be cited. Here is a correct citation for a quotation:
Mrs. Mallard knew that "There was something coming to her, and she was waiting for it." (Chopin, 1894, 15).
Notice, as well, that this particular quotation has a lead-in, introductory phrase, as should all of your direct quotes.
References Citation:
Since we're accessing the story on the web, you will site it as a page on a website.

Literary Response for Setting as a Device
Essay ENG 130: Literary Response for Setting
This assignment focuses on your ability to: learn how to interpret the literary device of
setting and how it affects all of the elements of the story.
The purpose of completing this assignment is: as a student, in your career, and
individual lives, you will often need to look beyond the plot and summary of what you are
reading, and put a different spin on it. An example of this might be interpreting data and the
varying components of how that data was created, as well as what to do with the data as you
move forward.
______________________________________________________________
Prompt (What are you writing about?):
How does Setting affect/contribute to the plot of your chosen story?
Note: Remember that Setting is not only the place in which a story occurs. It is also mood,
weather, time, and atmosphere. These things drive other parts of the story.
Instructions (how to get it done):
Read through all of the instructions of this assignment.
Read all of the unit resources.
Select one of the short stories to write about.
Your audience for this essay is people who have read the stories.
Decide in what three ways the setting contributes to the plot of your chosen story.
Formulate a thesis about setting and these three areas.
Your essay prompt is: How does Setting affect/contribute to the plot of your chosen story?
Your essay will have the following components:
o A title page
o An Introduction
o A thesis at the end of the introduction that clearly states how setting affects the story
o Supporting sections that defend your thesis/focus of the essay
o Text support with properly cited in-text citations
o A concluding paragraph
o A reference page
Requirements:
Length and format: 2-3 pages.
The title page and reference page are also required, but they should not be factored into the
2-3 page length of the essay.
It should also be double spaced, written in Times New Roman, in 12 point font and with 1 inch
margins. Essay should conform to APA formatting and citation style.
Use the third-person, objective voice, avoiding personal pronouns such as “I,” “you,” “we,” etc.
Please use the short story sources and any outside sources you need to create a properly-
formatted APA reference page.
Use APA format for in-text citations and references when using outside sources and textual
evidence.
Skills to be assessed with this assignment: creating effective thesis statements, incorporating
text, responding to literature.
Please be cautious about plagiarism. Make sure to use in-text citations for direct quotes,
paraphrases, and new information.
Sources: Choose one of the stories that you read in Unit 2/Setting Unit

1. Summary & Creative elements –costumes (or clothing in a doc) can either enhance the movie or betray its intent. Colors can be vivid and lift the atmosphere or mood in the movie or they can be dull and make it seem depressing. Good sound effects or music enrich the viewing experience while bad ones only destroy everything. Moreover, camera movements and angles also add elements to the story. Take notes of symbols in the story, if any.

Focus on These Three Parts of Communication- The Rhetorical Triangle
1. Purpose
2. Audience
3. Context
Purpose
Know why you are writing
What are you trying to accomplish?
What reaction are your trying to get?
What results are you after?
With every sentence ask if you are advancing the cause.
Search for the best words to get your point across
What do you want the reader to:
Think?
Feel?
Do?
Understand Your Readers
What are their goals and priorities
What pressures do they face?
What motivates them?
Respect Your Reader’s Time
If you don’t get to your point pretty quickly, they'll ignore you
At the slightest need to struggle to understand you, they’ll stop trying – and think less of you
Prove quickly that you have something valuable to say
Why should they read what you wrote? What’s in it for them?
Words Have Consequences
Words have consequences and should elicit sincere meaning.
Your communication should be respectful of the audience, be clear about the purpose and relate to the context of the situation.
What Have You Told Them?
Consider this - what do they know that they did not know before they read your message?
What do they need to know?
Were you specific?
Did you give a timeline?
Did you reduce their anxiety?
Did you write in a way that assumes they are intelligent?
What Conversation Are You Having With Yourself?
When writing ask yourself: What do you want people to think after they read this message? What do you want them to do? How do you expect them to react it? Have you been as clear as possible?
Are you talking to fellow employees or to shareholders and customers?
Tailor Your Message To Your Audience

The Architect – who organizes information and draws up an outline
The Carpenter – who puts your thought into words – layout sentences and paragraphs
The Judge – who polishes the expression, checks for tone and misinterpretation, corrects grammar and punctuation
Organizing Paragraphs
A paragraph is a unit of thought, not of length.
It makes a point, a point different from what the previous paragraph made and different from what the next one will make.
A bad paragraph is one where the reader has no idea until the end what the point is.

Understanding Culture
Food, Faith, & Culture
Dr. Fred Foy Strang
For this exercise you are conducting anthropological “field research” through participation,
participant observation, and data recording. This is a simple foray into the field so it does not
include a formal literature review or establishment of hypotheses. Our task is simply to
experience and reflect upon a ‘hands-on’ opportunity for actual observation, data recording, and
preliminary analysis.
Food is an important part of everyone’s culture. Food is also connected to religious
observance and spiritual ritual for many different faiths, including Christianity, Judaism,
Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. The role of food in cultural practices and religious beliefs is
complex and varies among individuals and communities.
Focus on the Issue (Food, Faith, & Culture)
• To examine local and non-indigenous cultural influences reflected at various at public
eateries?
• To discover where these distinctives find convergence or how local culture is
reflected in the eatery/food.
• To observe social dynamics and cultural practices in public eateries and postulate
connections to local culture and/or religion.
Focus on Observation
What are the surroundings? What are people wearing? What language(s)/dialect(s) is/are
spoken? What customs are observed? Who is involved in these customs? What do you
notice about the participants (workers/owners/customers).
Focus on Interaction
Who is serving you? What do you observe about their work? Are their other people
involved in the establishment? What are their roles? You are encouraged to engage in ‘non-
directive interviewing’ on the topic of food and its relationship to culture & religion. (This is
simply getting a responder to talk and converse about a certain subject as opposed to
‘directive interviewing’ which asks specific questions or utilizes surveys.)
Focus on Participation
Place an order for something to eat. How is the food you ordered and will eat related to the
cultural influences you are observing? How do you pay for your food and recognize the
service you received?
Focus on Analysis
(This will be a minimum of 4 double spaced pages and a maximum of 7).
Document your research in a formal report format. Include in your analysis preliminary
answers to the initial issues. Finally, postulate a relationship between food, culture and faith.
What questions require further research? What kind of research might that be?

One major technological advancement I think will affect profiling practices in the future is CGT (Criminal Geographic Targeting). CGT is a computerized geographic profiling technique used in police investigations of complex serial crimes (Rossmo, 1995). A criminal analysis technique that uses the locations of a connected series of crime sites to determine the most probable area of the offender's residence. According to Rossmo, geography plays an important role in the offender's selection of suitable victims, which is why this program will be important in the future. The CGT produces a map showing specific details, for example, patrol saturation, grid and area searches, police information and record systems, outside agency databases, and zip code prioritization. This process includes investigation reports, witness statements, autopsy reports, and psychological profiles (1995). In addition, a detailed examination of a crime scene, interviews with lead investigators, crime analysts, and demographic data (Holmes & Holmes, 2004).
The computer revolution has arrived in our world and is becoming the next major advance in our arsenal of weapons against crime. The computer revolution has dramatically influenced the criminal justice system and is used to track crimes and criminals. The future of computerized monitoring, for example, is that of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which uses a tracking system called the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN). In addition, computerized profiling may soon help law enforcement personnel define efficiently the types of personalities associated with violent crimes such as murder, rape, and serial murder (Holmes & Holmes, 2004).

I think the technology advancements in criminal profiling in the future and I do believe that GPS and Drones will be more effective in the future because with GPS it can give the location of the suspect, it helps with high-speed chases, and it even help the law enforcement where the victim was last seen through their cellphones tower and GPS systems. GIS systems help with keeping track of police vehicles and give the department their location at any time. Drones give more adapt process of the suspect and it can help you cover more area to help in locating the suspect, give you more details of crime and help in finding evidence that law enforcement missed during their first investigation. Drones can reach harder places and can be beneficial to the crime scene.

The Christianity Religion
Christianity is the largest religion in the world. It involves a large number of people globally who adhere to it. The religion has a number of customs and tenets that have to do with dying, bereavement, rites of grieving, burial and cremation. One of the most active areas of inquiry worldwide has been attempting to comprehend how different religions view death. This subject is significant since everyone must undergo death at some point in their lives. Students that are studying religion and culture will find this information useful. Additionally, this information will be extremely helpful to anyone who is interested in Christianity or, more specifically, death.
Christians consider that a person's physical existence begins at birth and ends at death. They have a steadfast conviction that there is only one journey through this world, and it ends in death. Christians believe that each person only experiences death once during their lifetime and that it can happen to anyone at any time. Anyone can die, regardless of their age or gender; in other words, whether you're young or old, male or female, you must pass away. They hold the view that God, their heavenly and spiritual father, decides who lives and who dies as well as planning everyone's death (Vail III & Soenke 2018). They refer to death as God's will, which they are obligated to accept despite their heart desires. They believe there is life after death. They hold the view that after passing away, the souls of the deceased begin a new existence.
Undoubtedly, one of the most frequently discussed subjects in literature is death. Themes like pain and grief, love, perseverance, illness, and immortality are frequently depicted in combination with death and are hence closely tied to it. Death typically has themes of pain and grief, particularly when it affects persons who were close to the departed. Mourning stems from suffering and grief (Vail III & Soenke 2018). Mourning is the sentiment of sadness for another person's passing. Christians believe that after a death, the bereaved person's immediate family should get together and grieve with them. They view it as something that has an impact on society as a whole. They pray for God to comfort the family members during the period of grieving. They also give God, who they believe is in charge of the departed, the soul of the individual who has passed away.
Once an individual has passed away a ceremony is carried out to celebrate the life of the deceased person, a funeral ceremony. Some of the ceremonies are held publicly or privately depending on the choice of the family members. During the ceremony, they share about the person’s life and bury their body. After the funeral ceremony, the body is either buried or cremated. Burring involves covering the body underground while cremation involves burning the body into ashes. Death is a stage.

Assignment #2 Instructions: Evaluating Media
For this assignment, students will write an evaluative essay comparing two media. You'll use the short story "The Bear Came Over the Mountain" and the film Away from Her. You will begin working on this assignment (reading, viewing, drafting) in Unit 5, but submit the final paper in Unit 6.
An evaluative essay has three main components:
1. criteria
2. judgment
3. evidence
For this essay, the short story is the source material. You're going to evaluate how well the film stands up to the short story. So, first, you must establish criteria. What makes the short story successful? You want to think about this very carefully as you read and make notes. Notice elements of plot, structure, character, and point of view. You'll write about these in the first section of your paper.
Then, you'll judge the movie based on the criteria you've established. Determine whether or not the film meets the criteria you established in the first part of the paper. Include evidence from both the text and the movie to support your judgments.
Finally, make an ultimate judgment. Does the film live up to the standards set by the story?
This essay should:
· have specific criteria, using the short story as source material
· use that criterion to make judgments about the film
· support the judgment with evidence from the text and film
· be 1000 -1200 words long
· have an explicit thesis statement, with the main idea (the topic of the paper) and a controlling idea (what you, as the author, is saying about the topic)
· In this case, we're making a judgment, and that should be included in the thesis. Remember -- this judgment is not about the film or text being good or bad. It's about whether or not the film lives up to the criteria established in the short story.
· include an integrated, direct quote from the text/film to support the thesis in each of the body paragraphs
· be written using APA formatting guidelines
· use APA guidelines for citation, both in-text and on a References page
· avoid using 1st- or 2nd-person references (focus on objective 3rd-person references instead)
· be submitted as a MS Word .docx file
Quotations and In-Text Citation:
Quotations must be in quotation marks and all quotations must be cited. Here is a correct citation for a quotation:
Mrs. Mallard knew that "There was something coming to her, and she was waiting for it." (Chopin, 1894, 15).
Notice, as well, that this particular quotation has a lead-in, introductory phrase, as should all of your direct quotes.

1. Purpose
2. Audience
3. Context
Purpose
Know why you are writing
What are you trying to accomplish?
What reaction are your trying to get?
What results are you after?
With every sentence ask if you are advancing the cause.
Search for the best words to get your point across
What do you want the reader to:
Think?

Do?
Understand Your Readers
What are their goals and priorities
What pressures do they face?
What motivates them?
Respect Your Reader’s Time
If you don’t get to your point pretty quickly, they'll ignore you
At the slightest need to struggle to understand you, they’ll stop trying – and think less of you
Prove quickly that you have something valuable to say
Why should they read what you wrote? What’s in it for them?
Words Have Consequences
Words have consequences and should elicit sincere meaning.
Your communication should be respectful of the audience, be clear about the purpose and relate to the context of the situation.
What Have You Told Them?

What do they need to know?
Were you specific?
Did you give a timeline?
Did you reduce their anxiety?
Did you write in a way that assumes they are intelligent?
What Conversation Are You Having With Yourself?
When writing ask yourself: What do you want people to think after they read this message? What do you want them to do? How do you expect them to react it? Have you been as clear as possible?
Are you talking to fellow employees or to shareholders and customers?

The Madman – who gathers the material and generate ideas
The Architect – who organizes information and draws up an outline
The Carpenter – who puts your thought into words – layout sentences and paragraphs
The Judge – who polishes the expression, checks for tone and misinterpretation, corrects grammar and punctuation
Organizing Paragraphs
A paragraph is a unit of thought, not of length.

Understanding Culture
Food, Faith, & Culture
Dr. Fred Foy Strang
For this exercise you are conducting anthropological “field research” through participation,
participant observation, and data recording. This is a simple foray into the field so it does not
include a formal literature review or establishment of hypotheses. Our task is simply to
experience and reflect upon a ‘hands-on’ opportunity for actual observation, data recording, and
preliminary analysis.
Food is an important part of everyone’s culture. Food is also connected to religious
observance and spiritual ritual for many different faiths, including Christianity, Judaism,
Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. The role of food in cultural practices and religious beliefs is
complex and varies among individuals and communities.
Focus on the Issue (Food, Faith, & Culture)
• To examine local and non-indigenous cultural influences reflected at various at public
eateries?
• To discover where these distinctives find convergence or how local culture is
reflected in the eatery/food.
• To observe social dynamics and cultural practices in public eateries and postulate
connections to local culture and/or religion.
Focus on Observation
What are the surroundings? What are people wearing? What language(s)/dialect(s) is/are
spoken? What customs are observed? Who is involved in these customs? What do you
notice about the participants (workers/owners/customers).
Focus on Interaction
Who is serving you? What do you observe about their work? Are their other people
involved in the establishment? What are their roles? You are encouraged to engage in ‘non-
directive interviewing’ on the topic of food and its relationship to culture & religion. (This is
simply getting a responder to talk and converse about a certain subject as opposed to
‘directive interviewing’ which asks specific questions or utilizes surveys.)
Focus on Participation
Place an order for something to eat. How is the food you ordered and will eat related to the
cultural influences you are observing? How do you pay for your food and recognize the
service you received?
Focus on Analysis
(This will be a minimum of 4 double spaced pages and a maximum of 7).
Document your research in a formal report format. Include in your analysis preliminary
answers to the initial issues. Finally, postulate a relationship between food, culture and faith.
What questions require further research? What kind of research might that be?

One major technological advancement I think will affect profiling practices in the future is CGT (Criminal Geographic Targeting). CGT is a computerized geographic profiling technique used in police investigations of complex serial crimes (Rossmo, 1995). A criminal analysis technique that uses the locations of a connected series of crime sites to determine the most probable area of the offender's residence. According to Rossmo, geography plays an important role in the offender's selection of suitable victims, which is why this program will be important in the future. The CGT produces a map showing specific details, for example, patrol saturation, grid and area searches, police information and record systems, outside agency databases, and zip code prioritization. This process includes investigation reports, witness statements, autopsy reports, and psychological profiles (1995). In addition, a detailed examination of a crime scene, interviews with lead investigators, crime analysts, and demographic data (Holmes & Holmes, 2004).
The computer revolution has arrived in our world and is becoming the next major advance in our arsenal of weapons against crime. The computer revolution has dramatically influenced the criminal justice system and is used to track crimes and criminals. The future of computerized monitoring, for example, is that of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which uses a tracking system called the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN). In addition, computerized profiling may soon help law enforcement personnel define efficiently the types of personalities associated with violent crimes such as murder, rape, and serial murder (Holmes & Holmes, 2004).

I think the technology advancements in criminal profiling in the future and I do believe that GPS and Drones will be more effective in the future because with GPS it can give the location of the suspect, it helps with high-speed chases, and it even help the law enforcement where the victim was last seen through their cellphones tower and GPS systems. GIS systems help with keeping track of police vehicles and give the department their location at any time. Drones give more adapt process of the suspect and it can help you cover more area to help in locating the suspect, give you more details of crime and help in finding evidence that law enforcement missed during their first investigation. Drones can reach harder places and can be beneficial to the crime scene.

The Christianity Religion
Christianity is the largest religion in the world. It involves a large number of people globally who adhere to it. The religion has a number of customs and tenets that have to do with dying, bereavement, rites of grieving, burial and cremation. One of the most active areas of inquiry worldwide has been attempting to comprehend how different religions view death. This subject is significant since everyone must undergo death at some point in their lives. Students that are studying religion and culture will find this information useful. Additionally, this information will be extremely helpful to anyone who is interested in Christianity or, more specifically, death.
Christians consider that a person's physical existence begins at birth and ends at death. They have a steadfast conviction that there is only one journey through this world, and it ends in death. Christians believe that each person only experiences death once during their lifetime and that it can happen to anyone at any time. Anyone can die, regardless of their age or gender; in other words, whether you're young or old, male or female, you must pass away. They hold the view that God, their heavenly and spiritual father, decides who lives and who dies as well as planning everyone's death (Vail III & Soenke 2018). They refer to death as God's will, which they are obligated to accept despite their heart desires. They believe there is life after death. They hold the view that after passing away, the souls of the deceased begin a new existence.
Undoubtedly, one of the most frequently discussed subjects in literature is death. Themes like pain and grief, love, perseverance, illness, and immortality are frequently depicted in combination with death and are hence closely tied to it. Death typically has themes of pain and grief, particularly when it affects persons who were close to the departed. Mourning stems from suffering and grief (Vail III & Soenke 2018). Mourning is the sentiment of sadness for another person's passing. Christians believe that after a death, the bereaved person's immediate family should get together and grieve with them. They view it as something that has an impact on society as a whole. They pray for God to comfort the family members during the period of grieving. They also give God, who they believe is in charge of the departed, the soul of the individual who has passed away.
Once an individual has passed away a ceremony is carried out to celebrate the life of the deceased person, a funeral ceremony. Some of the ceremonies are held publicly or privately depending on the choice of the family members. During the ceremony, they share about the person’s life and bury their body. After the funeral ceremony, the body is either buried or cremated. Burring involves covering the body underground while cremation involves burning the body into ashes. Death is a stage.

1. Suppose HGA’s mainframe, depicted in Figure B-1, stored cardholder data in the private databases. What steps should be taken to protect that data in order to be PCI compliant?
2. HGA’s mainframe has network connectivity. Assuming that cardholder data is transmitted across these networks, describe how data should be protected in transmission.
3. Users are located at various sites connected to the HGA network. Suggest appropriate access controls to restrict unauthorized users from looking at cardholder data.
4. The PCI specification notes that all systems and network devices connected to a system that stores, transmits, or processes cardholder data is in scope and must comply with PCI specifications. To avoid having the whole network subject to PCI specifications, how would you segment the network to reduce the scope of compliance?

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.

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.

Film Analysis AssignmentPurpose To encourage you to becom
1. Film Analysis Assignment
Purpose:
To encourage you to become critical observers of interpersonal
communication skills, choose a movie to review from the
suggested film list. After watching the film write a 4-5 page
(minimum of 1000 words) paper using these guidelines. All
papers must follow APA or MLA guidelines, use Times New
Roman font, be double spaced, 12 point font, and 1 inch
margins.
Instructions
: This assignment is to be completed in three parts (see below).
Choose a film from the list provided below. Watch the film and
write an analysis paper based on concepts covered in this
interpersonal communication class. You may need to watch the
film more than once to complete this assignment.
In the
introductory paragraph
, provide the following elements:
Offer a creative opening for the paper that grabs the reader’s
attention.
Briefly
summarize the film. The summary could include: the title, the
plot, and the main characters.
2. Offer a clear
thesis
for the essay. A thesis statement explains to the reader how you
plan to interpret the subject, tells the reader what to expect from
the paper (road map), and answers the ‘so what’ question about
how this film can be interpreted using vital interpersonal
communication theories and concepts.
Provide an overview of how the paper will be organized that
includes the specific concepts that will be discussed.
In the
body
of the essay, using separate paragraphs, analyze five (5)
different
interpersonal communication concepts
from at least three (3) different chapters
that are demonstrated in the movie.
For
each
interpersonal concept:
Define
the concept using the textbook and provide an example from
the film that demonstrates the concept. Be specific: describe the
character(s) and/or event(s) where the concept is demonstrated
and use terms from the text.
Evaluate
whether the concept is applied effectively or ineffectively
3. (good example or bad example). Take a position and explain
why you believe this to be true. First-person language is
acceptable.
Analyze
the consequences of the concept’s effective or ineffective
application. Consider short-term and long-term consequences to
the character(s) and plot. In other words, project beyond the
movie. If the movie continued, or had a sequel, how do you
think the consequences would impact the character(s).
What does it mean to analyze?
When your instructor asks you to write an
analysis
, don’t panic. All they want is for you to take something apart
to see how it works. To write an analysis, think about how each
part of something contributes to the success of the whole.
CAUTION: Make sure that you are not just summarizing the
scene from your movie. Go beyond telling us what you are
talking about. Describe
how
and
why
its elements function.
Summarizing = WHAT Analyzing = HOW & WHY
In addition to using theories from the textbook, utilize at least
one credible outside source as part of your analysis of a specific
4. concept/theory. Acceptable sources include the following:
Printed or online scholarly journals, reputable newspapers and
magazines, and books. Avoid Wikipedia, blogs, or opinion
pieces.
The
concluding
paragraph should summarize your insights regarding
interpersonal communication as demonstrated in the film and
the major lessons to be learned. Provide a closing sentiment for
the essay.
Criteria for Success:
Your paper should be at least 4-5 pages. Use the default
margins on your computer or make sure you are allowing no
more than one inch for margin on any side. This will equate to
approximately 1000 to 1250 words. I will check word counts, so
creating bigger margins or using larger than 12-point font to
meet page length requirements is not helpful.
Use evidence to support your answers. Provide specific
examples from the movie where concepts were demonstra ted.
Solid “A” papers will offer a strong analysis that is based on
examples and detail from the movie and that uses terminology
from the text to correctly identify concepts.
Average “C” papers will offer general statements and vague
descriptions from the movie and will lack use of terminology
5. from the text.
Below average “D” papers will simply provide a “list” of
questions with short, underdeveloped answers that make little
reference to specifics in the movie or terminology from the text.
Be sure your papers are neat, organized and accurate. This will
take time.

an exhaustive list:

model of communication
