Assignment 3: Views on Diversity
Pablo believes that diversity is the most important issue in our culture, and that it is greatly underemphasized. On the other hand, Ralph rarely thinks of diversity, except when it is mentioned in the workplace. Monica is sensitized to multicultural issues because her parents are immigrants who still struggle with discrimination after being here for 20 years.
To obtain a cross-section of what people think about diversity, conduct five-minute interviews with three individuals you don't know well, and assess their views on diversity. You have been provided an
Informed Consent

This is to enable that the respondents demonstrate a clear understanding of the meaning and purpose of this assignment. While you are expected to use the informed consent form in keeping with ethical practices for data collection, you do not need to submit it to the instructor as part of the assignment.
Ask the respondents the following questions and record their answers:
When you hear the word diversity mentioned in the workplace, in the media, or in casual conversation, what meaning do you assign this term?
Does a particular race, ethnic group, or other minority group come to mind when you think of diversity? Does one of these groups pertain to you?
Do you think the majority of people in our culture:
Respect cultural differences among groups of people.
Show indifference to cultural differences.
Lack respect for cultural differences. Explain each choice.
If you were to make a suggestion about how our culture should handle diversity over the next decade, what would it be?

What did you discover was the general attitude toward diversity in our culture?

Overview
Cultural exchanges in the work environment are complicated by their very nature. However, differences in race, ethnicity, class, gender, and religion can add to the complexity and further intensify even the most basic misunderstanding.

By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assignment criteria:
Competency 1: Analyze the influence of culture on attitudes, values, perception, human behavior, and interpersonal relations.
Explain why an identified problem is relevant or important to fostering the understanding of diversity issues.
Competency 2: Analyze individual cultural competencies.
Identify individual cultural competencies.
Analyze one's own cultural knowledge, awareness, sensitivity, and actions.

Describe a project research question.
Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of the human services profession.
Communicate in a professional manner, using concise, well organized, and grammatically correct writing that incorporates appropriate APA style and conventions.
Assignment Instructions
Part 1
Describe a fictional or real-life, work related conflict that has arisen from, and is complicated by, cultural differences. This scenario will serve as the basis for your course project.
Write a two-page narrative detailing pertinent information about your scenario including:
A clear statement of the conflict and project research question.
A description of the essential elements of the conflict, including any relevant details leading up to the conflict.
A discussion of the cultural competencies of the participants.
A rationale for the relevance or importance of this scenario to foster the understanding of diversity issues.
Part 2
It is also important for you to be aware of your own cultural competencies or how well you are able to act with people from other cultures. At the end of this course, you will be asked to assess how participating in this course has contributed to your personal and professional growth. In order to do that, it is helpful to have a starting point for your reflection. Refer to the Sperry (2012) article on cultural competencies from this unit's readings.
Continue your narrative and reflect on your cultural knowledge, awareness, sensitivity, and action—the four components of cultural competence outlined by Sperry. Be explicit in your reflection and assess your ability in each area as very high, high.

Write a two-page narrative detailing pertinent information about your scenario including:
A clear statement of the conflict and project research question.
A description of the essential elements of the conflict, including any relevant details leading up to the conflict.
A discussion of the cultural competencies of the participants.
A rationale for the relevance or importance of this scenario to foster the understanding of diversity issues.
Part 2
It is also important for you to be aware of your own cultural competencies or how well you are able to act with people from other cultures. At the end of this course, you will be asked to assess how participating in this course has contributed to your personal and professional growth. In order to do that, it is helpful to have a starting point for your reflection. Refer to the Sperry (2012) article on cultural competencies from this unit's readings.
Continue your narrative and reflect on your cultural knowledge, awareness, sensitivity, and action—the four components of cultural competence outlined by Sperry. Be explicit in your reflection and assess your ability in each area as very high, high.

What was your experience of completing the implicit bias test? Which test did you choose,
and why?
Reflecting on the self-awareness test was interesting. It allowed me to think deeply to give a clear
and precise answer. The questions were occasionally considered but never asked how I might I feel
about a particular topic. I took the ADDRESSING-GSA- Self-Assessment test to recognize the
cultural characteristics of individuals. As social workers, it is essential to adapt and understand
people from all different cultural backgrounds. The result from the test shows what areas I was
more dominant in and what areas I was less dominant in. The results were not surprising to me,
and they gave me a better perspective of what areas I will need to learn and understand better.
Social workers need to be culturally competent, be self-aware of areas that exhibit bias, and be
willing to work on those areas.
What self-awareness themes have emerged so far in Week 1’s Discussion and this week’s
activities?
The self-awareness themes that have emerged from the discussions are reflecting on oneself and
digging deep to know yourself. As well as how do I perceive myself culturally and the dimension
of diversity? Reading through the learning recourses from the course in both weeks were a great
learning experience for me in addressing cultural, diversity and that is expected, especially since
this is the class that it is being taught. Learning the dynamics of culture and diversity will be a
great asset as the social work profession will be working with individuals of all backgrounds.
Identify a population that you are not comfortable with or would like to know more about;
this could be a population represented by the implicit bias test you took, but it does not have
to be.
I would say that I am comfortable with all types of populations. I work amongst a vastly diverse
group of people that I call my second family from home. The people that I would like to learn
more about are young adult and the elderly population. Young adults are at a critical development

step for their future. How will they get healthcare coverage for health check-ups? Where will they
live, and how safe are the areas where they reside? The elderly population is another group of
people that I would like to learn more about. They are considered vulnerable as some have to rely
on caretakers for their daily needs. Learning about these two different populations will gives ...

Numeric Grade: 22 / 30 pts
Letter Grade:
The following questions should serve as a guide for your entry:
· What is one group (racial, ethnic, sexual orientation, gender, religious, social class, etc.) with which you feel you can identify in terms of belonging to this group?
· Would you consider this group a majority or minority group? Why?
· How important is this group identity to you? If it is very important, what do you think makes it important? If it is not, why do you think it is not important to you?
· In what way or ways might this group identity help to shape your view of the world?
· How is your ability to be objective about minority-majority issues influenced, either positively or negatively by this group identity?
Comments:
Carl, you’ve done a very good job on your first journal entry and your application of the concepts of “machismo” and objectivity. See my comment on the definition of minority. Are Hispanics considered a minority only due to their numbers? Other relevant concepts that might apply to what you’ve written here might be symbolic interaction and cultural differentiation.
You needed to apply two theories this week. You might have used social identity theory to explain your feeling of comfort around those like you in terms of the ethnicity and social status. You might also have used Interactionist theory to explain the process of cultural transmission of Hispanic norms and values, especially those that apply to Hispanic males as well as to explain why skin color may be significant in the U.S. while it is not as significant in Latin American countries. Interactionists would also suggest that taking one’s time may be interpreted as being lazy in the US and this might result in conflict. Our culture shapes our perceptions and in turn, this influences how we react to those who are not like us in certain respects. Your APA format is very good overall. If the information cited is quoted material, then you also need to include the page number on which the quoted material is located.
As noted in the instructions, these journals are “practice” for the paper. They are meant to help you in applying concepts and theory, so be sure to follow my comments and the feedback I give you each week. Review the rubric below to see where you need to concentrate on improving your entries. If you do not understand something, please contact me. Thanks! Instructor C :-)
The ethnic group with which I feel I can identify in terms of belonging to this group is Hispanic. I would consider this group to be a minority group and so does society. Although Hispanics have grown significantly in numbers throughout the United States their numbers as far as population goes are still low in comparison to others in the United States[k1] . Hispanics have grown to be the largest minority group in the United States (Parrillo, 2011). Being Hispanic to me is very important. It signifies who I am and what I am about.

Cultural groups and individuals vary on how private they are. Use their feedback regarding what areas you can probe. If the person is very open, go deeper. If not, respect that cultural boundary and ask yourself why that boundary is there. Issues that you may wish to explore during the interview include, but are not limited to, the following:
· Early childhood experiences and parental values;
· Earliest memories of recognizing membership in a culturally different group;
· The role of religion/spirituality;
· Immigration experiences;
· Similarities/differences between couples’ interactions in the U.S. to couples’ interactions in the individual’s culture;

Social responsibility includes intercultural competence, knowled.docxsamuel699872
Social responsibility includes intercultural competence, knowledge of civic responsibility, and the ability to engage effectively in regional, national, and global communities, including the workplace. These skills are rated highest as desirable skills among hiring managers.
Intercultural competence includes
:
Knowledge of your own culture and how it has shaped your world view.
Knowledge of significant characteristics of other cultures.
Awareness of differences and similarities in cultures.
Ability to adjust your actions to successfully interact with someone of another culture.
How do we continuously improve our intercultural competence? First, by understanding that intercultural competence is complex, and it requires growing and maturing in three areas: mind set, heart set, and skill set.
Mindset
is the domain where as we learn and engage with others, we recognize similarities and differences. A growth mind set requires self-awareness and cultural awareness.
Heart set
is the domain where we learn to acknowledge, appreciate, and accept cultural differences. There are six dimensions to your heart set:
Self esteem
Self-monitoring
Empathy
Open mindedness
Reserved judgment
Social relaxation
Listening
Skill set
involves our intercultural agility; the ability to adjust your actions to successfully interact with someone of another culture. Specific skills include message skills, appropriate self-disclosure, behavioral flexibility, and interaction management.

Discussion Stereotypes Categories and Concepts for Understandiclayrhr
Discussion: Stereotypes: Categories and Concepts for Understanding the World
Picture a teacher talking to a student. In the instant that you thought of the word
teacher
, what image of a person jumped into your mind? What were the age, color, gender, and nationality of the imagined teacher? What was the teacher doing and wearing? Similarly, what image of a
student
appeared in your mind to distinguish between the two people?
Humans understand the world by creating categories and labeling concepts and, in this way, apply the concepts in a new circumstance. Stereotypes fall into this category of labeling concepts. They provide a system of coding that facilitates the acquisition of knowledge. On the other hand, stereotypes often demean people by distorting individual characteristics, skills, and abilities. By classifying people based on perceived characteristics of a group, inaccuracies arise at individual and group levels. These inaccuracies about individuals or groups can inhibit effective communication. As an intercultural communicator, however, there are some instances when using stereotypes can be helpful in gaining a level of cultural competence.
To prepare for your Discussion:
Review Chapter 6 in the course text
.
Pay particular attention to the section on stereotyping and the list of cultural categories. Have you seen or heard anyone stereotype any of these cultural categories either in the media or in your own experience?
Locate common stereotypes about your culture on the Internet. Do any of them surprise you? What is true about these stereotypes? What is untrue?
Find three common stereotypes of your culture in the media, or, using the cultural categories in Chapter 6 of the course text, think of a personal experience where you were stereotyped by your membership in one of those categories. Do you feel you are stereotyped in specific ways by certain cultural categories?
Reflect on a personal experience or an example in the media where your culture has been stereotyped by another culture. How does stereotyping by the sender or receiver of the message in this situation affect the intercultural communication?
Note:
One of the goals of this course is to promote a wide variety of views. You are encouraged to present your honest personal viewpoint while at all times reflecting a respectful tone for the views of others.
Do
a 2 paragraph description of two examples of a stereotype of your culture that is found in the media or that you experienced personally. Explain the effects that true and untrue aspects of the selected stereotypes have on intercultural communication. Be sure to support your ideas by connecting them to at least one of this week’s Learning Resources. Additionally, you may opt to include an outside academic resource that you have identified.

Social Media and the Boston Marathon Bombings: A Case Study
By:
George Haddow and Kim Haddow

As we reach the final stretch of the capital trial of the Boston Marathon bomber, we present this case study on social media that was originally published in the author’s book
Disaster Communications in a Changing Media World
:
Case Study: BPD and Social Media
At 2:49 PM on April 15, 2013 two bombs exploded near the finish line of the annual Boston Marathon killing three people and injuring 264. The first reports about the about the terrorist attack were spread through Twitter and Facebook.
At 2:59 PM the
Boston Globe
tweeted:
“BREAKING NEWS: Two powerful explosions detonated in quick succession right next to the Boston Marathon finish line this afternoon.”
Minutes later, the Boston Police Department confirmed the explosion in a tweet. And in a separate tweet soon after reported:
“22 injured. 2 dead

”
According to Topsy, a Twitter analytics company, at around 4:10 p.m. there were more than 300,000 mentions on Twitter of “Boston explosions.” (Stern, 2013) In a second wave of social media, details about the event spread. Media that included photos of blood covering the ground and a six-second Vine video of the actual explosion was circulated, deepening people’s sense of what had happened. Around 4:30 p.m., there were more than 700,000 mentions on Twitter of the “Boston Marathon.” (Stern, 2013)
Even though television was the most widely-used source of information about the bombing and its aftermath, it was social media that shaped the story and the response. While 80% of Americans followed the story on TV according to the Pew Research Center, about half (49%) say they kept up with news and information online or on a mobile device and a quarter of Americans got information about the explosions and the hunt for the bombers on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
Young Americans in particular kept up-to-date through social media. Slightly more than half (56%) of an 18-to-29 year subgroup polled by Pew got bombing-related news through social networking sites. (Pew Research Center, 2013).
The Boston bombings and the manhunt that followed became the backdrop for the world to witness the transformation – for good and for bad — in news gathering and distribution, and in disaster management and crises communications caused by social media platforms and technology. The Boston Marathon bombings were a watershed, a moment that marked forever the changed role of social media and the fully participatory public in breaking news events and coverage. The

It is America’s first fully interactive national tragedy of the social media age.” (Kakutani, 2013)

Social media and adolescence, is it good bad When looking at the c.docxpbilly1
Social media and adolescence, is it good? bad? When looking at the current adolescent generation, social media has become an important influencer. How many likes to I have? How many friends do I have? Am I pretty? etc. are common questions that are asked internally. In this chapter, we were introduced to new thinking patterns and concepts related to this developmental stage, such as personal fable, invincibility fable, egocentrism, etc.
For this assignment, address the following,
How does the influence of social media impact concepts like personal fable, invincibility fable, egocentrism, etc.?
What are the benefits to social media? (think about technology as a whole as well)
How can social media and/or technology hinder development during this stage?

Social marketing applies commercial marketing strategies to promot.docxpbilly1
Social marketing applies commercial marketing strategies to promote public health.
Social marketing is widely used to influence health behavior. Social marketers use a wide range of health communication strategies based on mass media, they also use mediated (example, through a healthcare provider), interpersonal, and other modes of communication, and marketing methods such as message placement (for example, in clinics), promotion, dissemination, and community level outreach. Social marketing encompasses all of these strategies.

Application of social marketing strategies for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccination. in young children’s. People in many developing countries have misgivings, fear and other reasons against MMR vaccination resulting in resurgence or disease epidemics. Social marketing theory work well in countering these obstacles while encouraging administration of the vaccine to improve the health of the society.
Concepts-
1. Consumer orientation- In this approach planning, implementation and evaluation strategies of consumer marketing is employed to motivate the parents for vaccination of their children’s against MMR. We took advice from people to what change we make to adopt this healthy behavior. Needs assessment this message is appropriate from them what barrier environment we have to take. Also take care how people respond to the healthy behavior. Citizen advisory panels help to get feedback.
2. Audience segmentation- . Parents of the children are selected that largely influences the success of MMR vaccination in the children. Positive behavior change to vaccinate their children is encouraged by educating them and creating awareness about the complications associated with MMR viral epidemics. We target the group which have similar variable and advise them.
3. Channel analysis- Method to deliver the required message and the desired place to target the population/desired audience (parents). Usage of print ,news and online social media to convey the benefits and the risks associated with vaccinating and not vaccinating with MMR Other places that can be targeted are gynecologic and pediatrics hospitals while utilizing other public places with posters to spread the awareness and the benefits of MMR. We also have to find appropriate time when to advertise and advice these desired population.
4. Strategy- In this stage of planning the idea is to meet the objectives. We can use different strategies like making the vaccine available in every hospital facility for easy access, making vaccine cost effective to eliminate the barriers of our target population.
5. Process tracking- In this evaluation phase of the program we check and monitor if the applied interventions are rightly executed to achieve the objectives. After undertaking surveys, reviewing and revisiting the steps, progress can be tracked. We can also obtain feedback from the target population to improve and enhance the performance of the pr.

Instructions for the Critical Essay
Utilizing seven to ten outside scholarly sources students are to write critical essays (5-7 pages not
including title and reference pages) documenting an essential issue with regard to the course’s influence
on a policy. Students may also include official and organizational research reports as part of their
allotted references too1. These essays are positional in nature (you’re arguing a stance using scholarly
evidence), and will be written in an academic and scholarly tone. Arguments must be cogent, logical,
and supported by facts (which will come from one’s research). APA citation and reference lists are
required. These essays will be well proof-read before submission. Font: Times New Roman, 12. The
essay should be double-spaced and numbered. Below are instructions regarding the format:
1. The assignment requires a traditional APA title page. Students may assign the essay its own
title, be creative. Again, the title page and references are not counted in the page requirement.
2. The structure of the paper should be sectioned like such:
a. Introduction
b. The Policy (here you will provide an explanation/background of your chosen policy)
c. Corresponding Issue #1
d. Corresponding Issue #2
e. Suggested Policy Change
f. Conclusion
g. References
3. The Introduction should provide a thorough roadmap of where you intend to take the reader;
thus, here you want to establish a clear but brief outline of your policy of choice and the issues
you plan to uncover—leave the rest for folks to see in the essay. This should be no more than a
good thick paragraph.
4. The proceeding pages should be well structured by sections/headings which will correspond to
remaining four points mentioned after the introduction. For example, for a policy one may
choose sentencing, and then his/her two issues may be mass incarceration and reentry (you’d
use those titles as the headings for your sections in the essay, or you can be more creative and
call them something else, but the sections need to be distinct from each other). The
information contained in each respective section will include a meshing together of your
scholarly sources and your understanding of your chosen policy. This part of the essay will
become more refined as one continue to engage in research. Remember, all points/arguments
explained in these pages must be cited and backed by evidence. Your writing should be both
informative and persuasive, which means you should be explaining to your reader the gist of the
1. These are the sources that will give one the statistics he/she would need to describe the scope of the
problem/issue which will be covered in the essay. It is important that the essay has some stats in it to substantiate
all arguments. For instance, for crime stats see .

What was your experience of completing the implicit bias test? Which test did you choose,
and why?
Reflecting on the self-awareness test was interesting. It allowed me to think deeply to give a clear
and precise answer. The questions were occasionally considered but never asked how I might I feel
about a particular topic. I took the ADDRESSING-GSA- Self-Assessment test to recognize the
cultural characteristics of individuals. As social workers, it is essential to adapt and understand
people from all different cultural backgrounds. The result from the test shows what areas I was
more dominant in and what areas I was less dominant in. The results were not surprising to me,
and they gave me a better perspective of what areas I will need to learn and understand better.
Social workers need to be culturally competent, be self-aware of areas that exhibit bias, and be
willing to work on those areas.
What self-awareness themes have emerged so far in Week 1’s Discussion and this week’s
activities?
The self-awareness themes that have emerged from the discussions are reflecting on oneself and
digging deep to know yourself. As well as how do I perceive myself culturally and the dimension
of diversity? Reading through the learning recourses from the course in both weeks were a great
learning experience for me in addressing cultural, diversity and that is expected, especially since
this is the class that it is being taught. Learning the dynamics of culture and diversity will be a
great asset as the social work profession will be working with individuals of all backgrounds.
Identify a population that you are not comfortable with or would like to know more about;
this could be a population represented by the implicit bias test you took, but it does not have
to be.
I would say that I am comfortable with all types of populations. I work amongst a vastly diverse
group of people that I call my second family from home. The people that I would like to learn
more about are young adult and the elderly population. Young adults are at a critical development

people that I would like to learn more about. They are considered vulnerable as some have to rely

Numeric Grade: 22 / 30 pts
Letter Grade:
The following questions should serve as a guide for your entry:
· What is one group (racial, ethnic, sexual orientation, gender, religious, social class, etc.) with which you feel you can identify in terms of belonging to this group?
· Would you consider this group a majority or minority group? Why?
· How important is this group identity to you? If it is very important, what do you think makes it important? If it is not, why do you think it is not important to you?
· In what way or ways might this group identity help to shape your view of the world?
· How is your ability to be objective about minority-majority issues influenced, either positively or negatively by this group identity?
Comments:
Carl, you’ve done a very good job on your first journal entry and your application of the concepts of “machismo” and objectivity. See my comment on the definition of minority. Are Hispanics considered a minority only due to their numbers? Other relevant concepts that might apply to what you’ve written here might be symbolic interaction and cultural differentiation.
You needed to apply two theories this week. You might have used social identity theory to explain your feeling of comfort around those like you in terms of the ethnicity and social status. You might also have used Interactionist theory to explain the process of cultural transmission of Hispanic norms and values, especially those that apply to Hispanic males as well as to explain why skin color may be significant in the U.S. while it is not as significant in Latin American countries. Interactionists would also suggest that taking one’s time may be interpreted as being lazy in the US and this might result in conflict. Our culture shapes our perceptions and in turn, this influences how we react to those who are not like us in certain respects. Your APA format is very good overall. If the information cited is quoted material, then you also need to include the page number on which the quoted material is located.
As noted in the instructions, these journals are “practice” for the paper. They are meant to help you in applying concepts and theory, so be sure to follow my comments and the feedback I give you each week. Review the rubric below to see where you need to concentrate on improving your entries. If you do not understand something, please contact me. Thanks! Instructor C :-)
The ethnic group with which I feel I can identify in terms of belonging to this group is Hispanic. I would consider this group to be a minority group and so does society. Although Hispanics have grown significantly in numbers throughout the United States their numbers as far as population goes are still low in comparison to others in the United States[k1] . Hispanics have grown to be the largest minority group in the United States (Parrillo, 2011). Being Hispanic to me is very important. It signifies who I am and what I am about.

Social responsibility includes intercultural competence, knowled.docxsamuel699872
Social responsibility includes intercultural competence, knowledge of civic responsibility, and the ability to engage effectively in regional, national, and global communities, including the workplace. These skills are rated highest as desirable skills among hiring managers.
Intercultural competence includes
:
Knowledge of your own culture and how it has shaped your world view.
Knowledge of significant characteristics of other cultures.
Awareness of differences and similarities in cultures.
Ability to adjust your actions to successfully interact with someone of another culture.
How do we continuously improve our intercultural competence? First, by understanding that intercultural competence is complex, and it requires growing and maturing in three areas: mind set, heart set, and skill set.
Mindset
is the domain where as we learn and engage with others, we recognize similarities and differences. A growth mind set requires self-awareness and cultural awareness.
Heart set
is the domain where we learn to acknowledge, appreciate, and accept cultural differences. There are six dimensions to your heart set:
Self esteem
Self-monitoring
Empathy
Open mindedness
Reserved judgment
Social relaxation
Listening
Skill set
involves our intercultural agility; the ability to adjust your actions to successfully interact with someone of another culture. Specific skills include message skills, appropriate self-disclosure, behavioral flexibility, and interaction management.

Discussion: Stereotypes: Categories and Concepts for Understanding the World
Picture a teacher talking to a student. In the instant that you thought of the word
teacher
, what image of a person jumped into your mind? What were the age, color, gender, and nationality of the imagined teacher? What was the teacher doing and wearing? Similarly, what image of a
student
appeared in your mind to distinguish between the two people?
Humans understand the world by creating categories and labeling concepts and, in this way, apply the concepts in a new circumstance. Stereotypes fall into this category of labeling concepts. They provide a system of coding that facilitates the acquisition of knowledge. On the other hand, stereotypes often demean people by distorting individual characteristics, skills, and abilities. By classifying people based on perceived characteristics of a group, inaccuracies arise at individual and group levels. These inaccuracies about individuals or groups can inhibit effective communication. As an intercultural communicator, however, there are some instances when using stereotypes can be helpful in gaining a level of cultural competence.
To prepare for your Discussion:
Review Chapter 6 in the course text
.
Pay particular attention to the section on stereotyping and the list of cultural categories. Have you seen or heard anyone stereotype any of these cultural categories either in the media or in your own experience?
Locate common stereotypes about your culture on the Internet. Do any of them surprise you? What is true about these stereotypes? What is untrue?
Find three common stereotypes of your culture in the media, or, using the cultural categories in Chapter 6 of the course text, think of a personal experience where you were stereotyped by your membership in one of those categories. Do you feel you are stereotyped in specific ways by certain cultural categories?
Reflect on a personal experience or an example in the media where your culture has been stereotyped by another culture. How does stereotyping by the sender or receiver of the message in this situation affect the intercultural communication?
Note:
One of the goals of this course is to promote a wide variety of views. You are encouraged to present your honest personal viewpoint while at all times reflecting a respectful tone for the views of others.
Do
a 2 paragraph description of two examples of a stereotype of your culture that is found in the media or that you experienced personally. Explain the effects that true and untrue aspects of the selected stereotypes have on intercultural communication. Be sure to support your ideas by connecting them to at least one of this week’s Learning Resources. Additionally, you may opt to include an outside academic resource that you have identified.

Social Media and the Boston Marathon Bombings: A Case Study

As we reach the final stretch of the capital trial of the Boston Marathon bomber, we present this case study on social media that was originally published in the author’s book
Disaster Communications in a Changing Media World
:
Case Study: BPD and Social Media
At 2:49 PM on April 15, 2013 two bombs exploded near the finish line of the annual Boston Marathon killing three people and injuring 264. The first reports about the about the terrorist attack were spread through Twitter and Facebook.
At 2:59 PM the
Boston Globe
tweeted:
“BREAKING NEWS: Two powerful explosions detonated in quick succession right next to the Boston Marathon finish line this afternoon.”
Minutes later, the Boston Police Department confirmed the explosion in a tweet. And in a separate tweet soon after reported:
“22 injured. 2 dead
#tweetfromthebeat

@CherylFiandaca
”
According to Topsy, a Twitter analytics company, at around 4:10 p.m. there were more than 300,000 mentions on Twitter of “Boston explosions.” (Stern, 2013) In a second wave of social media, details about the event spread. Media that included photos of blood covering the ground and a six-second Vine video of the actual explosion was circulated, deepening people’s sense of what had happened. Around 4:30 p.m., there were more than 700,000 mentions on Twitter of the “Boston Marathon.” (Stern, 2013)
Even though television was the most widely-used source of information about the bombing and its aftermath, it was social media that shaped the story and the response. While 80% of Americans followed the story on TV according to the Pew Research Center, about half (49%) say they kept up with news and information online or on a mobile device and a quarter of Americans got information about the explosions and the hunt for the bombers on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
Young Americans in particular kept up-to-date through social media. Slightly more than half (56%) of an 18-to-29 year subgroup polled by Pew got bombing-related news through social networking sites. (Pew Research Center, 2013).
The Boston bombings and the manhunt that followed became the backdrop for the world to witness the transformation – for good and for bad — in news gathering and distribution, and in disaster management and crises communications caused by social media platforms and technology. The Boston Marathon bombings were a watershed, a moment that marked forever the changed role of social media and the fully participatory public in breaking news events and coverage. The
New York Times
wrote:
It is America’s first fully interactive national tragedy of the social media age.” (Kakutani, 2013)

Social marketing applies commercial marketing strategies to promot.docxpbilly1
Social marketing applies commercial marketing strategies to promote public health.
Social marketing is widely used to influence health behavior. Social marketers use a wide range of health communication strategies based on mass media, they also use mediated (example, through a healthcare provider), interpersonal, and other modes of communication, and marketing methods such as message placement (for example, in clinics), promotion, dissemination, and community level outreach. Social marketing encompasses all of these strategies.

Application of social marketing strategies for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccination. in young children’s. People in many developing countries have misgivings, fear and other reasons against MMR vaccination resulting in resurgence or disease epidemics. Social marketing theory work well in countering these obstacles while encouraging administration of the vaccine to improve the health of the society.
Concepts-
1. Consumer orientation- In this approach planning, implementation and evaluation strategies of consumer marketing is employed to motivate the parents for vaccination of their children’s against MMR. We took advice from people to what change we make to adopt this healthy behavior. Needs assessment this message is appropriate from them what barrier environment we have to take. Also take care how people respond to the healthy behavior. Citizen advisory panels help to get feedback.
2. Audience segmentation- . Parents of the children are selected that largely influences the success of MMR vaccination in the children. Positive behavior change to vaccinate their children is encouraged by educating them and creating awareness about the complications associated with MMR viral epidemics. We target the group which have similar variable and advise them.
3. Channel analysis- Method to deliver the required message and the desired place to target the population/desired audience (parents). Usage of print ,news and online social media to convey the benefits and the risks associated with vaccinating and not vaccinating with MMR Other places that can be targeted are gynecologic and pediatrics hospitals while utilizing other public places with posters to spread the awareness and the benefits of MMR. We also have to find appropriate time when to advertise and advice these desired population.
4. Strategy- In this stage of planning the idea is to meet the objectives. We can use different strategies like making the vaccine available in every hospital facility for easy access, making vaccine cost effective to eliminate the barriers of our target population.
5. Process tracking- In this evaluation phase of the program we check and monitor if the applied interventions are rightly executed to achieve the objectives. After undertaking surveys, reviewing and revisiting the steps, progress can be tracked. We can also obtain feedback from the target population to improve and enhance the performance of the pr.

Instructions for the Critical Essay
Utilizing seven to ten outside scholarly sources students are to write critical essays (5-7 pages not
including title and reference pages) documenting an essential issue with regard to the course’s influence
on a policy. Students may also include official and organizational research reports as part of their
allotted references too1. These essays are positional in nature (you’re arguing a stance using scholarly
evidence), and will be written in an academic and scholarly tone. Arguments must be cogent, logical,
and supported by facts (which will come from one’s research). APA citation and reference lists are
required. These essays will be well proof-read before submission. Font: Times New Roman, 12. The
essay should be double-spaced and numbered. Below are instructions regarding the format:
1. The assignment requires a traditional APA title page. Students may assign the essay its own
title, be creative. Again, the title page and references are not counted in the page requirement.
2. The structure of the paper should be sectioned like such:
a. Introduction
b. The Policy (here you will provide an explanation/background of your chosen policy)
c. Corresponding Issue #1
d. Corresponding Issue #2
e. Suggested Policy Change
f. Conclusion
g. References
3. The Introduction should provide a thorough roadmap of where you intend to take the reader;
thus, here you want to establish a clear but brief outline of your policy of choice and the issues
you plan to uncover—leave the rest for folks to see in the essay. This should be no more than a
good thick paragraph.
4. The proceeding pages should be well structured by sections/headings which will correspond to
remaining four points mentioned after the introduction. For example, for a policy one may
choose sentencing, and then his/her two issues may be mass incarceration and reentry (you’d
use those titles as the headings for your sections in the essay, or you can be more creative and
call them something else, but the sections need to be distinct from each other). The
information contained in each respective section will include a meshing together of your
scholarly sources and your understanding of your chosen policy. This part of the essay will
become more refined as one continue to engage in research. Remember, all points/arguments
explained in these pages must be cited and backed by evidence. Your writing should be both
informative and persuasive, which means you should be explaining to your reader the gist of the

problem/issue which will be covered in the essay. It is important that the essay has some stats in it to substantiate
all arguments. For instance, for crime stats see .

SOCIAL JUSTICE AND SOCIOLOGY:
AGENDAS FOR THE
TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
JOE R, FEAGIN
University of Florida
The world's peoples face daunting challenges in the
twenty-first century. While apologists herald the globaliza-
tion of capitalism, many people on our planet experience
recurring economic exploitation, immiseration, and envi-
ronmental crises linked to capitalism's spread. Across the
globe social movements continue to raise the issues of
social justice and democracy. Given the new century's
serious challenges, sociologists need to rediscover their
roots in a sociology committed to social justice, to cultivate and extend the long-
standing "countersystem" approach to research, to encourage greater self-reflection
in sociological analysis, and to re-emphasize the importance ofthe teaching of soci-
ology. Finally, more sociologists should examine the big social questions of this
century, including the issues of economic exploitation, social oppression, and the
looming environmental crises. And, clearly, more sociologists should engage in the
study of alternative social futures, including those of more just and egalitarian soci-
eties. Sociologists need to think deeply and imaginatively about sustainable social
futures and to aid in building better human societies.
WE STAND today at the beginning ofa challenging new century. Like
ASA Presidents before me, I am conscious
of the honor and the responsibility that this
address carries with it, and I feel a special
obligation to speak about the role of sociol-
ogy and sociologists in the twenty-first cen-
tury. As we look forward, let me quote W. E.
B. Du Bois, a pathbreaking U.S. sociologist.

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

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis.
