Instructions: We have studied the Hallin and Mancini Models. We looked at the four variables – media market, political parallelism, professionalism, and state intervention. We also talked about three other media elements – media access, media audience, and media import & export. In this essay your job is to identify a media problem in any country’s media system (related to Hallin and Mancini Models, and four variables.) and write a position paper to address that problem. The media problem could be any problem in e.g. media content, regulation, ownership and funding, access (government control vs. free flow of information on the Internet), audience (Transformation of audience), and import & export (Ethnocentric, exocentric, worldcentric, and implications). Specifically, you identify a country first. Then, find out who your paper is addressing to. Next, lay out the problem existing in your chosen country’s media system. Write a persuasive analysis to suggest possible policy adjustment or policy change in order to address the identified media problem. In your essay, you may critically apply what you learned so far. Appropriate citations are needed. Word count: 1,000 words. Additional material: 1. Polarized Pluralist/ Mediterranean/ Southern Europe a) France b) Italy c) Spain d) Portugal e) Greece 2.

Discuss the ownership of media house.pdf
1. Media ownership can take several forms including chain ownership, cross media ownership, conglomerate ownership, and vertical/horizontal integration.
2. There are differing theories around media ownership including the pluralist theory that argues media content reflects consumer demand, and the Marxist theory that owners shape content to reproduce inequality.
3. Recent trends show media ownership becoming more concentrated globally, with fewer large corporations and individuals controlling more media outlets.
Agenda setting
This document summarizes key concepts in agenda setting and policymaking. It discusses:
1) Problems are identified through public perception and must be considered worthy of government action to be validated.
2) Multiple actors like politicians, experts, interest groups, media and the public are involved in shaping the policy agenda.
3) John Kingdon's multiple streams framework explains how problems, policies, and politics interact to create "policy windows" for agenda setting.
4) Agenda setting can follow different models like outside initiation, mobilization, or inside initiation depending on factors like the policy subsystem and public support level.

Here is a potential analysis comparing media coverage of the Aryan Khan drug case versus some under-reported issues:
The Aryan Khan drug case received extensive media attention primarily due to the high-profile nature of Shah Rukh Khan's son getting arrested. His celebrity status and wealth amplified the story's appeal and sensationalism. In contrast, issues like farmer protests were arguably under-reported by some major news outlets.
While the farmer protests involved widespread, sustained demonstrations across India concerning critical livelihood and economic issues, they did not feature a celebrity angle or sensational legal drama. Their coverage may not have driven as much viewership or web traffic for commercial news media.
Additionally, the farmer protests directly challenged government policy in a

A. Justification
At the time of their founding, Latin American countries drew inspiration from
the United States and its system of government based on democratically elected
presidents subject to checks and balances from independent and co-equal branches of
government. Yet democracy proved to be little more than an aspiration during most
of the region’s independent history with countries fluctuating repeatedly, often in
quick succession, from popularly elected leaders to dictatorships. Democracy failed to
take root in even the wealthiest and most industrialized countries in the region as
exemplified by repressive military dictatorships that ruled the Southern Cone during
the 1970s.
However, starting in the late 1970s and gathering momentum during the
1980s, Latin American dictatorships were replaced by popularly elected
governments. This time really did prove different. Despite setbacks and persistent
(and often well-justified) concerns about tangible results of democracy (its
deliverables), today all but two Latin American countries qualify as functioning (if
somewhat flawed) democracies.
Democracy is, for now, to quote Linz and Stepan (1996, 15), “the only game in
town” in Latin America. With that problem resolved, social scientists have turned
their attention to a new problem: the quality of said democracies:
How far are today’s democratically elected governments from what was
promised to the electorate prior to transition?
Specifically, what are the main strengths and weaknesses of each of the
region’s democracies?
You will tackle these questions by conducting an audit of the quality of
democracy in a Latin American country of your choosing. This assignment combined
with class lectures on the larger political trends in the region’s recent history, will
provide you with a more detailed and nuanced picture of Latin American Politics.
B. Assignment
1) You are to research and write a policy memo evaluating the state of democracy Argentina. The memo should
be about 2,500 words or 10 pages long (double-spaced).
2) Begin by understanding the concept of democratic quality and the ways in which
it can assessed. Quality of democracy in the country you select should be assessed
following the framework developed by Levine and Molina (2011). Said framework
evaluates the quality of a country’s democracy based on five criteria:
1) Electoral Decision; 2) Participation; 3) Responsiveness; 4.) Accountability;
and 5) Sovereignty.

The document provides instructions for a 6-page assignment analyzing a current media issue covered in the course. Students are asked to choose an event that received media coverage or public debate, examine it from multiple perspectives, and justify their conclusions using at least 10 independent sources. They must analyze how the chosen case exemplifies tensions between media theories and practices studied in the course, such as theories of media effects, reality and framing, the watchdog role of news media, propaganda, and changes brought by new and social media. The analysis should apply these theories to understand the event fully and illustrate any dilemmas faced by the involved media organization.
Application Democratic Governance and Policy NetworksPolicy n.docx
Application: Democratic Governance and Policy Networks
Policy networks are a prevalent feature of democratic governance. The policy network approach requires collaboration among interested parties in order to make progress in forming public policy. The various actors in a policy network organize, form coalitions, communicate, coordinate, and compete around policy issues of interest to them. Policy networks are organic entities that may change over time. Depending on the policy issue, today’s allies in a policy network may be tomorrow’s enemies. For example, conservative and libertarian groups may work together to defeat a new tax proposal but may quickly part ways over the legalization of medical marijuana. The operation of policy networks is shaped by the political, social, and economic climate in which they operate.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review the articles “Analyzing and Managing Policy Processes in Complex Networks: A Theoretical Examination of the Concept Policy Network and Its Problems” in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the definitions of policy network presented and the evolving structures and processes associated with the term
policy network

How should policy makers balance competing interests?
Policy makers have tried to balance competing interest since the beginning of time and have been successful had it until now. Thanks to social media people all over the country are able to express their views on any and everything that is going right and wrong in this country. Policy makers are now forced to listen to the people and can no longer turn a blind eye to what’s going on in the United States. The Obama administration saw the impact of social media and used this platform to reach people who had never voted for and young people who never paid that much attention to politics.

Normative theories
Normative theories describe how media systems should ideally operate based on certain values or principles. They originated from media practitioners, social critics, and academics. Early theories included radical libertarianism, which advocated no media regulation, and technocratic control theories, which supported government oversight. The marketplace of ideas theory proposed debating all ideas freely. Later, social responsibility theory emerged as a compromise, arguing media should serve the public interest through high standards and self-regulation. Current theories include dual responsibility models balancing social and financial responsibilities, and non-profit journalism funded by communities and donors. Normative theories vary based on countries' political systems and stages of development.

English 101 Research Paper
The research paper is the most important out-of-class writing assignment of the semester. It will be peer-reviewed in class before revision and submission in its final form. The due dates for all drafts are given in your syllabus. The essay will be graded on completion of the various phases of the assignment (topic selection, preliminary list of sources, outline, peer review) as well as the content of the final draft.
Instructions:
The paper must be written in MLA format, including a formal outline.
The approximate length of the essay is 8 to 10 pages.
The paper must cite at least 5 research sources, including the following:
- Doctor Zhivago
· One full-length text (book) by an authority on your topic. Recommended sources are books and ebooks specifically on your topic that appear in the LAMC library catalog. This requirement may also be satisfied by citing a textbook for a relevant subject such as political science, psychology, sociology or history.
· One scholarly journal article from the LAMC library databases. This will be an article designated “scholarly” or “peer reviewed” in one of the databases such as ProQuest or CQ Researcher.
· One other periodical. This may be a second scholarly journal article, or it may be a major metropolitan newspaper or a news magazine.
· One Internet site. This may be the web site of an organization that offers authoritative information on your topic, a web site that specializes in news reporting, or a web site you use as an example of popular opinion or pop culture.
In some cases, other sources such as interviews or government documents may be used as well.
Do not use or cite informal sources such as web sites that collect or sell student papers (e.g. echeat.com or 123helpme.com),blogs maintained by individuals or groups that do not have solid academic credentials, or Q&A sites such as ehow or about.com. Acceptable web sites include those maintained by university departments, libraries, museums or government agencies.
You may choose to consult dictionaries and encyclopedias to gain a better understanding of terminology and the history of some aspects of your topic. If so, these should be listed on your Works Cited page. However, they are not substitutes for the required sources listed above, and the information you use from them should be limited to definitions and basic background information.
The required five sources must not only be listed on your Works Cited page, but must be either quoted or paraphrased in the text of your essay.
Topic Choice Guidelines:
The topic is the influence of public perception of/by a social movement through the control of information in a particular historical period. This may involve propaganda techniques or censorship involving messages in entertainment media, journalism, public assemblies, communications technology, education and other institutions. You may consider a variety of sources of information and mea ...
The propaganda model
The propaganda model focuses on how wealth and power shape mass media through five filters: 1) media ownership concentration, 2) reliance on advertising, 3) reliance on established news sources, 4) pressure from powerful groups and flak, and 5) anti-communist ideology. These filters determine what is considered newsworthy and influence media content. The model argues that news is shaped by these filters to benefit powerful entities rather than objectively informing the public.

Mass communication involves messages distributed through mass media that can reach large, anonymous audiences. Mass media includes newspapers, magazines, television, radio, and the internet. Gatekeepers control the flow of information by selecting which stories to publish or broadcast. Mass communication can be described as a system where media companies supply content to satisfy audience demand in three markets: the consumer market for information, the advertising market, and the marketplace of ideas. Demand and supply interact in complex ways between these groups to determine what information and ideas are available.

Project 2 Media Bias
Need 4 pages and all 4 key request needed in paper!!!!!
There is no question that the media plays an important role in our political system. For most Americans, the mass media, particularly television, is the most important source of political information. Because of this, the news media has attracted significant attention from scholars of politics and communications, politicians and journalists themselves. Frequently, this attention has come in the form of criticisms of how the media presents the news. The media has been criticized for many possible forms of bias --ideological bias, selection bias and commercial bias. Among the specific criticisms of the press are that its coverage of the news is overly negative, lacking in substance, and driven by crisis.
Ideologically speaking, charges of liberal bias are probably the most frequently heard, but many liberals believe that news coverage contains a lot of conservative bias as well. Begin by reading the handout on evaluating the media from Brill’s Content. Brill's Content was a magazine devoted to reporting on the media, especially the news media. This article discusses how to be a critical consumer of news.
1. After reading the Brill’s Content article visit the next two sites. The Media Research
Center
http://www.mediaresearch.org/
is a conservative organization that maintains that media coverage is biased towards the left.Ensure you have discussed Brill's Content in your paper.
2. The group, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting,
http://www.fair.org/
, is a liberal watchdog group that holds the opposite opinion. Read what these sites have to offer (briefings, reports, etc.). Which side (AIM or FAIR) has a more convincing argument? AIM
http://www.aim.org/
Explain. Again, ensure you discuss in your paper.
3. Now do some investigating of your own. I want you to do some reading or viewing of the mainstream media. Does the coverage that you see/read tend to favor one viewpoint or party over another? Discuss. Do you detect any patterns in what reporters choose to cover and how they report it? Discuss. How do you evaluate the criticisms leveled at the media raised in class or on the websites?
How does MONEY play a role in media bias - give me specifics?
4. Respond to these questions by examining articles in several recent issues of
one
of the major U.S. newsmagazines,
Newsweek
,
Time
, or
U.S. News and World Report
. They all have websites that post articles if you don’t have access to print editions. Alternatively, you may watch the nightly
national
news broadcasts on any of the major networks for several days.
Be sure to discuss
specific examples
in your paper.
Conclude the paper with a discussion of what role you think the media should play in a democracy.
Any articles that you quote from or cite in your paper should be included in a bibliography. For examples of how to cite works for your bibliography check out the Center for Academic.
Write a 3–5-page essay analyzing from a sociological perspective a c.docx
Write a 3–5-page essay analyzing from a sociological perspective a chosen diversity issue covered in the media.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
SHOW LESS
Competency 1: Describe theoretical ideas of power in relation to policy.
Discuss how minority and dominant groups are portrayed in a media piece in relation to the influence of power.
Discuss sociological concepts or theories appropriate for understanding the portrayal of diversity in the media.
Competency 2: Identify historical and contemporary influences of discrimination in U. S. culture.
Summarize a media piece using the sociological perspective on diversity.
Competency 3: Analyze the effects of social policy using aggregated data.
Analyze data that are appropriate for supporting or refuting the central tenets of media piece.
Competency 6: Apply in text the standard writing conventions for the discipline, including structure, voice, person, tone, and citation formatting.
Write coherently to support a central idea in appropriate format and with few errors of grammar, usage, and mechanics.
How are different social groups portrayed in the mass media in contemporary society? How far have we come in terms of reducing or eliminating stereotypical images and portrayals of minority groups? To answer these questions, we need to place them in the context of the economic, technological, and social changes that have shaped postindustrial U.S. society and affected relationships between diverse groups in our society. For example, watching TV sitcoms and dramas today we see not only much greater diversity in cast members but also minority group members playing leading roles, something that was much less common just a few decades ago.
As you analyze how the various media forms portray cultural diversity, another thing to consider is the role of people with power in the media industry—those who make the decisions about what stories and images appear on a TV news program or magazine or newspaper article and how those programs or stories will be framed.
As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.
SHOW LESS
Some sociologists who study the media argue that the media is a reflection of what is already happening in society, while others contend that the media manipulates its audience by portraying events or issues with a particular slant or goal in mind. What do you think? Does the media reflect what is already going on in society, or.
A2 Sociology T1 The Relationship Between Ownership Control Of The Mass Media
This document discusses key concepts related to ownership and control of mass media. It outlines various theories on who owns and controls media content, including Marxism, which argues that a small, dominant class directly controls media to propagate their ideology. Neo-Marxism, known as the dominant ideology approach, suggests the ruling class transmits ideology through subtle and indirect means to gain consent from audiences and maintain the status quo. The document also examines trends in media ownership concentration and integration, as well as formal controls like regulations and laws.
Liberal+pluralism def
Liberal pluralism media theory argues that:
1) The media acts as the "fourth estate" in society, alongside the government, legal system, and church, by keeping the public informed on political issues and holding powerful institutions accountable.
2) Unlike Marxist views that see the media as a tool for class domination, pluralists believe the media responds to audience demands in a free market and serves an important democratic role in society.
3) The government has some power to address market failures and ensure a diversity of viewpoints, such as through public media like the BBC, but pluralists largely believe the media should be free to express itself.

Liberal pluralism media theory argues that:
1) The media acts as the "fourth estate" in society, alongside the government, legal system, and church, by keeping the public informed about these institutions and holding the powerful accountable.
2) Unlike Marxist views that see the media as a tool for class domination, pluralists believe the media responds to audience demands in democratic societies with a range of political views.
3) Pluralists see the media as generally playing a positive role by facilitating an informed electorate and democratic debate, while still being subject to reasonable criticism.
Liberal pluralism def
Liberal pluralism media theory argues that:
1) The media acts as a "fourth estate" in society by keeping the public informed about the activities of government, the legal system, and the church.
2) The media fulfills an important democratic role by monitoring powerful institutions and scrutinizing politicians, allowing even the powerful to be held accountable.
3) A free market of ideas drives media organizations to be responsive to audience demands and fill gaps in the market with new products.
Ap Mass Media
The document discusses the role of mass media in politics. It explains that modern political success depends on controlling the media image. Politicians use media to communicate their messages to the public and control the flow of information. The media acts as a gatekeeper that sets the political agenda, influences public opinion, and monitors politicians. However, media reporting is also a business influenced by profits, ownership, and biases that can shape what stories are covered and how they are presented.

God instructed Noah to build an ark and take two of each animal onto it because he was going to send a huge flood. Noah demonstrated great faith in God by obediently doing everything he was instructed to do.
International Media Systems
This document provides an overview of an international media systems presentation given by Sheheryar Ahmed to Professor Ramzan Azhar. It discusses various topics related to international media systems including the different types of media systems, components of a media system, the politicization of media, the relationship between government systems and media, global media cultures, changes in media since 9/11, social media, media accountability, and cyber laws. Visual and content references are also provided.
Comparing Media Systems and Political Communications
This document outlines the key concepts and theories for comparative media studies, including Hallin and Mancini's three models of media systems (Liberal, Democratic Corporatist, and Polarized Pluralist), Siebert, Peterson and Schramm's four theories of the press, and the importance and challenges of comparative political communication research. It also provides the required readings and discusses dimensions for analyzing and comparing media systems across countries.
Public opinion
Public opinion polls have been used since 1916 to estimate public views on issues. George Gallup's polls were more accurate than Literary Digest polls in 1936 because Gallup used random sampling. Traditional polls determine question wording and sample selection carefully but have shortcomings like margin of error. People form opinions based on self-interest, beliefs, cues from leaders, ideology, and knowledge. The media landscape has evolved from partisan print to radio, TV, and online/social media. The government regulates media through the FCC while respecting free press. Media cover politics through press releases and conferences but focus more on negativity.
Agenda setting theory ppt
The agenda-setting theory originated in 1972 when McCombs and Shaw studied the 1968 US presidential election. They found that the issues given prominent coverage in the media were also considered important by voters. This showed that the media has the ability to influence the salience or importance of issues on the public agenda by deciding what to cover prominently. Later research expanded this to the concept of framing, which is that media can influence not just what issues the public thinks about, but also how they think about those issues through selective presentation and emphasis of certain aspects of stories.

analyze certain bodily substances and compare them widi a sample from a suspect.
Forensic science consultant Richard Saferstein tells us that portions of the DNA structure are as unique to each individual as fingerprints. He writes that inside each of the 60 trillion cells in the human body are strands of genetic material called chromosomes. Arranged along the chromosomes, like beads on a thread, are nearly 100,000 genes. Genes are the fundamental unit of heredity. They instruct the body cells to make proteins drat determine everydiing from hair color to susceptibility to diseases. Each gene is actually composed of DNA specifically designed to carry out a single body function. Scientists have determined that DNA is die substance by which genetic instructions are passed from one generation to the next. (Saferstein 353-394)

Normative theories
Normative theories describe how media systems should ideally operate based on certain values or principles. They originated from media practitioners, social critics, and academics. Early theories included radical libertarianism, which advocated no media regulation, and technocratic control theories, which supported government oversight. The marketplace of ideas theory proposed debating all ideas freely. Later, social responsibility theory emerged as a compromise, arguing media should serve the public interest through high standards and self-regulation. Current theories include dual responsibility models balancing social and financial responsibilities, and non-profit journalism funded by communities and donors. Normative theories vary based on countries' political systems and stages of development.

English 101 Research Paper
The research paper is the most important out-of-class writing assignment of the semester. It will be peer-reviewed in class before revision and submission in its final form. The due dates for all drafts are given in your syllabus. The essay will be graded on completion of the various phases of the assignment (topic selection, preliminary list of sources, outline, peer review) as well as the content of the final draft.
Instructions:
The paper must be written in MLA format, including a formal outline.
The approximate length of the essay is 8 to 10 pages.
The paper must cite at least 5 research sources, including the following:
- Doctor Zhivago
· One full-length text (book) by an authority on your topic. Recommended sources are books and ebooks specifically on your topic that appear in the LAMC library catalog. This requirement may also be satisfied by citing a textbook for a relevant subject such as political science, psychology, sociology or history.
· One scholarly journal article from the LAMC library databases. This will be an article designated “scholarly” or “peer reviewed” in one of the databases such as ProQuest or CQ Researcher.
· One other periodical. This may be a second scholarly journal article, or it may be a major metropolitan newspaper or a news magazine.
· One Internet site. This may be the web site of an organization that offers authoritative information on your topic, a web site that specializes in news reporting, or a web site you use as an example of popular opinion or pop culture.
In some cases, other sources such as interviews or government documents may be used as well.
Do not use or cite informal sources such as web sites that collect or sell student papers (e.g. echeat.com or 123helpme.com),blogs maintained by individuals or groups that do not have solid academic credentials, or Q&A sites such as ehow or about.com. Acceptable web sites include those maintained by university departments, libraries, museums or government agencies.
You may choose to consult dictionaries and encyclopedias to gain a better understanding of terminology and the history of some aspects of your topic. If so, these should be listed on your Works Cited page. However, they are not substitutes for the required sources listed above, and the information you use from them should be limited to definitions and basic background information.
The required five sources must not only be listed on your Works Cited page, but must be either quoted or paraphrased in the text of your essay.
Topic Choice Guidelines:
The topic is the influence of public perception of/by a social movement through the control of information in a particular historical period. This may involve propaganda techniques or censorship involving messages in entertainment media, journalism, public assemblies, communications technology, education and other institutions. You may consider a variety of sources of information and mea ...
The propaganda model
The propaganda model focuses on how wealth and power shape mass media through five filters: 1) media ownership concentration, 2) reliance on advertising, 3) reliance on established news sources, 4) pressure from powerful groups and flak, and 5) anti-communist ideology. These filters determine what is considered newsworthy and influence media content. The model argues that news is shaped by these filters to benefit powerful entities rather than objectively informing the public.

Mass communication involves messages distributed through mass media that can reach large, anonymous audiences. Mass media includes newspapers, magazines, television, radio, and the internet. Gatekeepers control the flow of information by selecting which stories to publish or broadcast. Mass communication can be described as a system where media companies supply content to satisfy audience demand in three markets: the consumer market for information, the advertising market, and the marketplace of ideas. Demand and supply interact in complex ways between these groups to determine what information and ideas are available.

Project 2 Media Bias
Need 4 pages and all 4 key request needed in paper!!!!!
There is no question that the media plays an important role in our political system. For most Americans, the mass media, particularly television, is the most important source of political information. Because of this, the news media has attracted significant attention from scholars of politics and communications, politicians and journalists themselves. Frequently, this attention has come in the form of criticisms of how the media presents the news. The media has been criticized for many possible forms of bias --ideological bias, selection bias and commercial bias. Among the specific criticisms of the press are that its coverage of the news is overly negative, lacking in substance, and driven by crisis.
Ideologically speaking, charges of liberal bias are probably the most frequently heard, but many liberals believe that news coverage contains a lot of conservative bias as well. Begin by reading the handout on evaluating the media from Brill’s Content. Brill's Content was a magazine devoted to reporting on the media, especially the news media. This article discusses how to be a critical consumer of news.
1. After reading the Brill’s Content article visit the next two sites. The Media Research
Center
http://www.mediaresearch.org/
is a conservative organization that maintains that media coverage is biased towards the left.Ensure you have discussed Brill's Content in your paper.
2. The group, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting,
http://www.fair.org/
, is a liberal watchdog group that holds the opposite opinion. Read what these sites have to offer (briefings, reports, etc.). Which side (AIM or FAIR) has a more convincing argument? AIM
http://www.aim.org/
Explain. Again, ensure you discuss in your paper.
3. Now do some investigating of your own. I want you to do some reading or viewing of the mainstream media. Does the coverage that you see/read tend to favor one viewpoint or party over another? Discuss. Do you detect any patterns in what reporters choose to cover and how they report it? Discuss. How do you evaluate the criticisms leveled at the media raised in class or on the websites?
How does MONEY play a role in media bias - give me specifics?
4. Respond to these questions by examining articles in several recent issues of
one
of the major U.S. newsmagazines,
Newsweek
,
Time
, or
U.S. News and World Report
. They all have websites that post articles if you don’t have access to print editions. Alternatively, you may watch the nightly
national
news broadcasts on any of the major networks for several days.
Be sure to discuss
specific examples
in your paper.
Conclude the paper with a discussion of what role you think the media should play in a democracy.
Any articles that you quote from or cite in your paper should be included in a bibliography. For examples of how to cite works for your bibliography check out the Center for Academic.

Write a 3–5-page essay analyzing from a sociological perspective a chosen diversity issue covered in the media.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
SHOW LESS
Competency 1: Describe theoretical ideas of power in relation to policy.
Discuss how minority and dominant groups are portrayed in a media piece in relation to the influence of power.
Discuss sociological concepts or theories appropriate for understanding the portrayal of diversity in the media.
Competency 2: Identify historical and contemporary influences of discrimination in U. S. culture.
Summarize a media piece using the sociological perspective on diversity.
Competency 3: Analyze the effects of social policy using aggregated data.
Analyze data that are appropriate for supporting or refuting the central tenets of media piece.
Competency 6: Apply in text the standard writing conventions for the discipline, including structure, voice, person, tone, and citation formatting.
Write coherently to support a central idea in appropriate format and with few errors of grammar, usage, and mechanics.
How are different social groups portrayed in the mass media in contemporary society? How far have we come in terms of reducing or eliminating stereotypical images and portrayals of minority groups? To answer these questions, we need to place them in the context of the economic, technological, and social changes that have shaped postindustrial U.S. society and affected relationships between diverse groups in our society. For example, watching TV sitcoms and dramas today we see not only much greater diversity in cast members but also minority group members playing leading roles, something that was much less common just a few decades ago.
As you analyze how the various media forms portray cultural diversity, another thing to consider is the role of people with power in the media industry—those who make the decisions about what stories and images appear on a TV news program or magazine or newspaper article and how those programs or stories will be framed.
As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.

Some sociologists who study the media argue that the media is a reflection of what is already happening in society, while others contend that the media manipulates its audience by portraying events or issues with a particular slant or goal in mind.

A2 Sociology T1 The Relationship Between Ownership Control Of The Mass Media
This document discusses key concepts related to ownership and control of mass media. It outlines various theories on who owns and controls media content, including Marxism, which argues that a small, dominant class directly controls media to propagate their ideology. Neo-Marxism, known as the dominant ideology approach, suggests the ruling class transmits ideology through subtle and indirect means to gain consent from audiences and maintain the status quo. The document also examines trends in media ownership concentration and integration, as well as formal controls like regulations and laws.
Liberal+pluralism def
Liberal pluralism media theory argues that:
1) The media acts as the "fourth estate" in society, alongside the government, legal system, and church, by keeping the public informed on political issues and holding powerful institutions accountable.
2) Unlike Marxist views that see the media as a tool for class domination, pluralists believe the media responds to audience demands in a free market and serves an important democratic role in society.
3) The government has some power to address market failures and ensure a diversity of viewpoints, such as through public media like the BBC, but pluralists largely believe the media should be free to express itself.

3) A free market of ideas drives media organizations to be responsive to audience demands and fill gaps in the market with new products.
Ap Mass Media
The document discusses the role of mass media in politics. It explains that modern political success depends on controlling the media image. Politicians use media to communicate their messages to the public and control the flow of information. The media acts as a gatekeeper that sets the political agenda, influences public opinion, and monitors politicians. However, media reporting is also a business influenced by profits, ownership, and biases that can shape what stories are covered and how they are presented.

Age = -59.9 + 0.7502 SBP
The p-value for the model is 0.000, which implies that the model is significant in the prediction of Age. The R-square of the model is 70.2%, implies that 70.2% of variation in age can be explained by the model
Recommendation:
The regression model Age = -59.9 +0.7502 SBP can be used to predict the Age, such that over 70% of variation in Age can be explained by the model.

Gender Inequality in the Workplace: Sexual Harassment against Women
Although many women have been confident enough to report sexual harassment in the workplace, it is still very hard and uncomfortable for other women to stand up and also makes it more surprising how many of these incidences are still taking place every day. Workplace sexual harassment goes for both genders and it’s even harder for men since they are always viewed as the aggressors and superior gender and the mindset of our society shapes a lot of what we perceive is okay and normal behavior towards each other.
One interesting experience I heard of recently was involving a female service member and her superiors. This female works in an office with about four other males who are very aware about her feelings towards the behavior of her superior who happens to work outside of that specific office. The superior officer comes in everyday to check up on their work, make small talk with the guys and also has a habit of always rubbing her shoulders when he walks over to her desk. She explains that the first time it happened she thought it was odd being that she doesn’t have that type of relationship with him and gave him a pass, but then it became a an everyday thing. She tried tactics such as getting up from her desk, walking away from him and even voiced to the other males how uncomfortable it made her; they thought it was funny. They too had a complaint about him on making them feel uncomfortable: he had a habit of grabbing and scratching his private parts; but accepted it as a guy thing and would be viewed in a negative way if they reported. Her reason for not reporting was because she was afraid to get him in trouble, he had a family and wouldn’t dare to jeopardize his career, or even worse be criticized for making a big deal out of nothing after all its just a shoulder rub.
Required Elements:
· Describe the situation in detail; already mentioned above;
· Analyze the differences in communication, problem-solving, and leadership between the men and the women in the situation;
· Did any stereotypical notions seem to influence the behaviors of the women and the men involved in the situation? If so, explain what were they? If not, indicate so.
· Identify challenges related to gender in the situation described.
· Identify best practices that address the challenges identified.
· Devise three to five action plans that could be implemented to strengthen the behaviors of men and women in the workplace. Action plans can be implements by HR, a management or manager, CEO, or employee. Make sure to provide ideas as to why the action plan is necessary or would be useful in the workplace.

“When you’re a Spy, your job title can be anything, from Manager to Waiter, even criminal. The reason for the multitude of names? As a Spy, your job is to gather information from a range of sources, and you need to do it in any way you can. That includes putting on a disguise.
There are a few different paths that you can take to get into this career, and you can focus on a range of specialties, from technical to languages. The title “Spy” isn’t really used anymore. Instead, you’re now called a Covert Investigator or, more broadly, a CIA Agent. Whatever the title, it means you investigate and protect US interests abroad.
You investigate things like terrorism, fraud, corrupt governments, and a wide variety of other crimes. Your job is to keep Policymakers and the President of the United States aware and informed on the happenings around the world.
You can find the information you need in a lot of different ways. You might get to go undercover and pretend to be a different person, but for the most part, your job is much more routine. You carry out interviews with informants and allied Agents, analyze data, and read through research. You look for possible international problems, such as civil unrest, war, famine—anything that can cause problems for the United States.
This job involves a lot of collaboration and communication. You work with other Agents, international police forces, or informants. The informants you work with are usually average people, so the ability to speak their language is a big plus.”.

Question:
On August 31, 2010, Chickasaw Industries issued $25 million of its 30-year, 6% convertible bonds dated August 31, priced to yield 5%. The bonds are convertible at the option of the investors into 1,500,000 shares of Chickasaw's common stock. Chickasaw records interest expense at the effective rate. On August 31, 2013, investors in Chickasaw's convertible bonds tendered 20% of the bonds for conversion into common stock that had a market value of $20 per share on the date of the conversion. On January 1, 2012, Chickasaw Industries issued $40 million of its 20-year, 7% bonds dated January 1 at a price to yield 8%. On December 31, 2013, the bonds were extinguished early through acquisition in the open market by Chickasaw for $40.5 million.
Required:
1.
Using the book value method, would recording the conversion of the 6% convertible bonds into common stock affect earnings? If so, by how much? Would earnings be affected if the market value method is used? If so, by how much?
2.
Were the 7% bonds issued at face value, at a discount, or at a premium? Explain.
3.
Would the amount of interest expense for the 7% bonds be higher in the first year or second year of the term to maturity? Explain.
4.
How should gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt be determined? Does the early extinguishment of the 7% bonds result in a gain or loss? Explain.

Final Lab Report
You are required to write a complete laboratory report that covers all three experiments for "Lab 2: Water Quality and Contamination," using knowledge gained throughout the course. To begin, download the Final Lab Report Template and utilize this form to ensure proper formatting and inclusion of all required material. Additionally, view the Sample Final Lab Report before beginning this assignment, which will illustrate what a Final Lab Report should look like. You must use at least four scholarly sources and your lab manual to support your points. The report must be six to ten pages in length (excluding the title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style. For information regarding APA samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, located within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar.
The Final Lab Report must contain the following eight sections in this order:
1. Title Page – This page must include the title of your report, your name, course name, instructor, and date submitted.
2. Abstract – This section should provide a brief summary of the methods, results, and conclusions. It should allow the reader to see what was done, how it was done, and the results. It should not exceed 200 words and should be the last part written (although it should still appear right after the title page).
3. Introduction – This section should include background information on water quality and an overview of why the experiment was conducted. It should first contain background information of similar studies previously conducted. This is accomplished by citing existing literature from similar experiments. Secondly, it should provide an objective or a reason why the experiment is being done. Why do we want to know the answer to the question we are asking? Finally, it should end with all three hypotheses from your Week Two experiments. These hypotheses should not be adjusted to reflect the “right” answer. Simply place your previous hypotheses in the report here. You do not lose points for an inaccurate hypothesis; scientists often revise their hypotheses based on scientific evidence following the experiments.
4. Materials and Methods – This section should provide a detailed description of the materials used in your experiment and how they were used. A step-by-step rundown of your experiment is necessary; however, it should be done in paragraph form, not in a list format. The description should be exact enough to allow for someone reading the report to replicate the experiment, however, it should be in your own words and not simply copied and pasted from the lab manual.
5. Results – This section should include the data and observations from the experiment. All tables and graphs should be present in this section. In addition to the tables, you must describe the data in text; however, there should be no personal opinions or discussion outside of the results located within t.

Three types of Unemployment
Unemployment is divided into three categories by economist: frictional, structural, and cyclical. Frictional unemployment is unemployment due to constant changes in the economy that prevent qualified unemployed workers from being immediately matched up with existing job openings (Gwartney et al.) Structural unemployment is unemployment due to structural characteristics of the economy that make it difficult for job seekers to find employment to hire workers (Gwartney et al.) Cyclical unemployment is unemployment due to recessionary business conditions and inadequate labor demand (Gwartney et al.)
“Frictional unemployment is not as harmful to an economy as other types of unemployment, such as cyclical and structural unemployment. That's because a rise in frictional unemployment is simply an increase of workers moving toward better positions (Amadeo).”
Frictional unemployment comes from imperfect information. An example would be most businesses now when they are in the hiring process they will do a bunch of interviews and spend money trying to find the best person for that job. The people who are looking for jobs are constantly looking on the internet, the newspaper, local bulletin boards, and social media for the right job that fits them. In the county I live with I see a lot of structural unemployment. People that do have job openings require education; the ones who are unemployed have no education so they aren’t qualified. A lot of office jobs require you to have computer knowledge. Around my home town, there is very little education especially when it comes to technology. The last type of unemployment we see happening today all around the world. Businesses are cutting back and laying employees off. Where I currently work, when someone leaves, they aren’t filling the positions. We have to do more work with fewer employees.
I have a friend who lost her job and I try to encourage her to never give up and keep her faith. Philippians 4:5 states, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God.” That is a good scripture for everyone who is unemployed to keep in mind. Times can be tough when you are looking for a job, but the Bible tells us to never give up, and pray about it.

InstructionsFor this assignment, collect data exhibiting a relat.docx
Instructions
For this assignment, collect data exhibiting a relatively linear trend, find the line of best fit, plot the data and the line, interpret the slope, and use the linear equation to make a prediction. Also, find r2 (coefficient of determination) and r (correlation coefficient). Discuss your findings. Your topic may be that is related to sports, your work, a hobby, or something you find interesting. If you choose, you may use the suggestions described below.
A Linear Model Example and Technology Tips are provided in separate documents.
Tasks for Linear Regression Model (LR)
(LR-1) Describe your topic, provide your data, and cite your source. Collect at least 8 data points. Label appropriately. (Highly recommended: Post this information in the Linear Model Project discussion as well as in your completed project. Include a brief informative description in the title of your posting. Each student must use different data.)
The idea with the discussion posting is two-fold: (1) To share your interesting project idea with your classmates, and (2) To give me a chance to give you a brief thumbs-up or thumbs-down about your proposed topic and data. Sometimes students get off on the wrong foot or misunderstand the intent of the project, and your posting provides an opportunity for some feedback. Remark: Students may choose similar topics, but must have different data sets. For example, several students may be interested in a particular Olympic sport, and that is fine, but they must collect different data, perhaps from different events or different gender.
(LR-2) Plot the points (x, y) to obtain a scatterplot. Use an appropriate scale on the horizontal and vertical axes and be sure to label carefully. Visually judge whether the data points exhibit a relatively linear trend. (If so, proceed. If not, try a different topic or data set.)
(LR-3) Find the line of best fit (regression line) and graph it on the scatterplot. State the equation of the line.
(LR-4) State the slope of the line of best fit. Carefully interpret the meaning of the slope in a sentence or two.
(LR-5) Find and state the value of r2, the coefficient of determination, and r, the correlation coefficient. Discuss your findings in a few sentences. Is r positive or negative? Why? Is a line a good curve to fit to this data? Why or why not? Is the linear relationship very strong, moderately strong, weak, or nonexistent?
(LR-6) Choose a value of interest and use the line of best fit to make an estimate or prediction. Show calculation work.
(LR-7) Write a brief narrative of a paragraph or two. Summarize your findings and be sure to mention any aspect of the linear model project (topic, data, scatterplot, line, r, or estimate, etc.) that you found particularly important or interesting.
Scatterplots, Linear Regression, and Correlation [Section 1.4, starting on page 114 in the textbook]

Instructions
For this week’s assignment, you will synthesize the most relevant information in the situation below, and present a solution in your own words, using your own analysis. You will not use all of the information included in the scenario. Remember it is not appropriate to cut and paste entire sections from the situation to substitute for your own analysis.
The objective of the assignment is to organize your message in a way that will be most effective in persuading the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to take action.
Situation: Convincing the CEO to Approve a Public Relations Plan
You are the director of public relations for Easy to Be Green, the innovative new company that helps homeowners, businesses, and municipalities become more environmentally friendly. The company has been active in environmental issues in the community since its founding a few years ago and generally has good community relations. Recently EBG’s director of research, who is strongly opinionated about environmental issues, spoke in public about the environmental practices of some local companies who employ many people in the community. Lately, you’ve found that some of your local contacts seem a little less interested in EBG’s public relations initiatives, and there has even been a small drop in sales. There may be no connections between these events, but you want to be proactive about the company’s community relations.
You also want to protect the company against charges of hypocrisy. The other day you as walked through the parking lot, it occurred to you that the majority of the employees drive SUVs, pick-ups, and other kinds of gas guzzlers. This includes the CEO, whose family car is a luxury sedan. The company’s delivery and service vans are also not the most environmentally-friendly vehicles.
After a little research, you come up with a tentative plan. You have learned that a local hybrid car dealership has been offering an interesting deal. Employees of companies that buy hybrids as company vehicles can get discounts when they buy hybrids for themselves. You think that the company should consider purchasing a couple of hybrid vans and encourage employees to buy hybrids for themselves by offering substantial rebates for these purchases. You want to get the CEO’s approval before you pursue this idea any further. You anticipate that he will have significant resistance. The company vehicles are not due for replacement, and the rebates to employees could add up to quite a lot if many employees take up the offer. On the other hand, if only a few employees take up the offer, a significant environmental initiative will seem like a failure. The CEO is a risk-taker in terms of business initiatives but tends to be conservative in management practices. He might also be a little defensive about the hybrid promotion plan because of his own vehicle choices.
You feel strongly that the potential benefits of this plan—in long-term savings on gas, in goo.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation results
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

Instructions We have studied the Hallin and Mancini Models. We .docx
- 1. Instructions: We have studied the Hallin and Mancini Models. We looked at the four variables – media market, political parallelism, professionalism, and state intervention. We also talked about three other media elements – media access, media audience, and media import & export. In this essay your job is to identify a media problem in any country’s media system (related to Hallin and Mancini Models, and four variables.) and write a position paper to address that problem. The media problem could be any problem in e.g. media content, regulation, ownership and funding, access (government control vs. free flow of information on the Internet), audience (Transformation of audience), and import & export (Ethnocentric, exocentric, worldcentric, and implications). Specifically, you identify a country first. Then, find out who your paper is addressing to. Next, lay out the problem existing in your chosen country’s media system. Write a persuasive analysis to suggest possible policy adjustment or policy change in order to address the identified media problem. In your essay, you may critically apply what you learned so far. Appropriate citations are needed. Word count: 1,000 words. Additional material: 1. Polarized Pluralist/ Mediterranean/ Southern Europe a) France b) Italy c) Spain d) Portugal e) Greece 2. Democratic Corporatist/ Northern and Central Europe a) Sweden
