The United States has been accused of exporting its culture and values through films and television. Sometimes referred to as “Coca-Colonization,” the mass exportation of American culture is expected to increase as more and more people have access to the Internet. But is digital distribution a one-way street? In this assignment your task is to identify and discuss the importation of cultures to the United States in the context of Information Technology. You may discuss your own experiences, but make sure to also include real-world examples from the news, research articles, and /or credible online sources. The long- and short-term impacts of the identified IT-related culture on individuals, organizations, communities, and/or the society as a whole. How technologies (for example, Internet, YouTube, Facebook, and so on) aid or discourage such cross-cultural interchanges. Use the MS Word skills you learned in this module and write a four-page paper (cover page and reference page plus 2 pages of your findings). Make sure you cite specific examples and offer your ideas on and include a list of references on a separate page. Use the American Psychological Association (APA) style (6th edition) for writing your assignment. ...

Education

The media pieces in this unit were selected to help you think about the role that technology and social media play in the ways that society gives and how organizations ask for funds. Do you remember where you were on September 11, 2001? Chances are that you, along with the rest of the world, watched the horror of that day unfold on national television. We did not have to wait for the evening news or the morning paper to see and know what had happened. It happened in front of our eyes. Since that fateful day, there have been a number of disasters around the world; and there have been significant changes in the uses of technology and social media. In this assignment, you will construct a timeline of global events that have happened since 9/11, and analyze the impact technology and social media have had to spread information, photographs, videos, etc. around the world and drive charitable giving. What implications and opportunities do you see in the future for charitable fund development because of technology and, in particular, social media? Your submitted assignment should be 5–7 pages in length, excluding the title and reference pages, and must follow APA guidelines. You must include references to at least three scholarly resources that are not part of the required readings for this course. Your writing should demonstrate effective communication, using proper spelling and grammar, and be appropriate for a doctoral level learner. Be sure that your assignment contains all of the following: Title page. Abstract. Timeline of events in chronological order. An evaluation of the role technology played in each event and how it influenced the way people gave. An analysis of the future role of technology and social media in how nonprofit organizations will solicit and people will give in times of disaster. Reference page. ...

A. I need to remind the people who help me with this paper that my experience is not with a disabled child, but I experience with an adult disabled person. B. My paper’s topic is “The physical health of adults with disabilities.” C. Please follow the information that the teacher give us. D. Please find 12 references those about “the physical health of adults with disabilities.” As you complete the assigned reading for class on April 23, please submit short answers to the Three Things to Know. 2 sentences for each of the below questions · How does media impact what we learn, as well as the way we learn? · How has the nature of digital media made it central to our thinking and behavior? · How has the nature of digital media shown the potential for limits of human control of media?The Crisis in Journalism Internet-based companies have used technology to disrupt existing industries, undermining the financial foundation for traditional journalism (Franklin 2011; Jones 2009; McChesney and Pickard 2011; Meyer 2009). Subscriptions that had once funded newspaper journalism plummeted as users flocked to “free” online content. Print advertising, which had made up the bulk of revenue for news organizations, also fled to the internet; Craigslist and eBay replaced the newspaper classified ads, whereas Google, Facebook, and online ad brokers replaced display ads. As users and advertisers moved online, publishers decided they had to follow. Stand-alone news websites offered free online content, reinforcing the expectation that news should be available without cost. Some introduced pay walls to try to recapture some lost revenue. In the hope of finding greater readership, “distributed content” became common, where publications allowed their content to appear on Facebook and other platforms. Unfortunately, of the people who find a news story from social media, about two-thirds remember the social media site where they found it, but fewer than half remember which news outlet originally published it (Kalogeropoulos and Newman 2017). Still, publishers competed to create content that met the format and content preferences of those platforms. When Facebook research showed users engaged with video presentations more than text, the call for news outlets to “pivot to video” followed. In one example, The Washington Post, best known for its sober political coverage, began creating scripted funny videos as a way to attract more users via distributed content (Bilton 2017). That is a change from how news organizations have operated in the past. At legacy news sites—whether the printed newspaper or online website—news organizations offer the user a package of content. Users might skim the headlines, check out the sports, and delve deep into a feature article—all from a single news outlet. That means the editorial staff at the outlets produces a well-rounded package of information and news, along with lighter lifestyle and entertainment stories. With distributed content,.

This assignment engages you in different perspectives on a text and .docx

ronnag9bkla

This assignment engages you in different perspectives on a text and gives you the opportunity to employ a useful tool for note-taking and understanding. 1. Listen to/read three interviews about the Syrian refugee crisis and M.I.A: Rolling Stone interview: "M.I.A.: The Permanent Revolution of Pop's Most Fascinating Radical" (Links to an external site.) This American Life radio show episode "Are We There Yet?" (Links to an external site.) Daily Show segment "Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Welcomes Syrian Refugees to Canada" (Links to an external site.) For each interview, use the double-entry or dialogic notebook technique*. As the term implies, you are engaging in a dialogue with a text; in a sense, you will be “talking back” to the work. What I want you to do is take a piece of notebook paper and fold it in half length-wise, so you have two columns. Now, draw a line where the fold is, and you have two sides of the paper to make notes on, or have a conversation. On the left side, you can take notes, including facts, interesting or important quotes (don't forget the page number if pertinent), unfamiliar terms, connections to other works, and so on. Essentially, you make a note of anything that strikes you as important or interesting about the piece. Once you've finished reading the work, go back and look at your notes. Use the right side of the paper to comment on them. What do your notes mean? What do they reveal about the text’s meaning or significance? Why do you think this particular line caught your attention? How can you use this information in your own writing and in class discussions? This is where you should develop your critical questions. Dialogic notebooks can be used in any number of ways: You can write down a quote on the left (with the page number and title, so you don't forget!) and your thoughts/analysis of the quote on the right You can compare and contrast two sources or stories; you can write sources that support your thesis on one side, and sources that act as counter-arguments on the other You can ask questions one one side, and then explore the answers in your notes on the other side-- or words you need to look up and then their definitions. Really, you can benefit from using a dialogic notebook in any class where reading is important. It can help increase your understanding and appreciation of texts, and can be invaluable in helping you write papers, improve your vocabulary and prepare for tests. It is a very useful way to organize notes. So...now you get to try it out! 2. As you listen to/read the interviews, use the dialogic notebook to take notes: On the left side , note the purpose and audience for each interview (keep in mind each interview likely has several purposes and audiences). On the right side , write down quotes from the interviews that support your claims about purpose and audience. Keep in mind an important part of the note-taking process is the ability to keep track of your sources.

My friend liked her class, but she felt that the teacher was very cold. She said the teacher just taught grammar and never asked about the students’ families or talked about her own. A man commented one day that the reason there are so many single women in Canada is that they are lazy. His female friend was surprised and insulted by his attitude. A young woman had recently arrived in Canada ready to start a new life. She found the weather a little cold but still enjoyed wearing the same style she wore at home—tight skirts and tight tops that had low neck- lines. After about a month, she began to notice people staring at her. She thought they were looking at her because she was a foreigner. Then one day someone told her that only prostitutes dressed that way. She felt angry and insulted. Next choose from the following cultural orientations and themes as they relate to the critical incidents (can be more than one). Explain how your chosen critical incident relates to one or more cultural orientation(s) and theme(s) in your report: Universalism/Particularism Power Distance Hierarchy/Equality Individualism/Collectivism Space: Private/Public Face Communication: High/Low Context Communication: formal/ informal Communication: direct/indirect Communication: non-verbal Competitiveness Thinking Learning Style Interpersonal Distance and Touch Time Death/dying Cheating Customs Knowledge Teacher/student Relationship building Discipline Apology Work ethic Conflict Respect Parenting Negotiating Gender roles Assignment Requirements You will want to conduct your own.

This assignment consists of two parts.Part I—Case StudiesS.docx

ronnag9bkla

This assignment consists of two parts. Part I—Case Studies Select one of the three case studies given below. Analyze the facts in the scenarios and develop appropriate arguments and recommendations using case law and scholarly sources. Do not copy the case studies into the paper. Cite your sources in APA format on a separate page. Add Part 2 and submit the two parts in a single document. Scenario 1: Criminal Law Hank's Hunting & Fishing Supply, with stores located throughout the state of Utopia, sells a wide variety of sporting goods, including guns. Section 323.45 of the Utopia Penal Code requires every seller of guns to verify that the purchaser has not committed a felony in any state within the past five years. If the purchaser has committed a felony within the past five years, the seller is not allowed to complete the sale. Selling a gun to a felon is considered a misdemeanor and is punishable by up to one year in jail and/or a maximum $10,000 fine. Wayne Carver, who was convicted of a felony under Utopia's penal code four years ago, purchased a gun at one of the Hank stores. Mel Loew, a salesman, sold Carver the gun without asking for identification or checking Carver's criminal background. Loew never checked whether any of the customers to whom he sold guns were felons. He was not aware of the law requiring him to check on every customer's prior criminal history. However, Warren Peace, Loew's supervisor, knew of the law and also knew that Loew never checked whether a customer was a felon. Hank, the sole shareholder and director of Hank's Hunting & Fishing Supply, knew about the law but did not know that Loew did not check on any customer's prior criminal history. Carver used the gun in a bank robbery and shot a police officer and a bystander during his getaway. Carver has not been apprehended. Can Loew be punished under Section 323.45 of the Utopia Penal Code? What are the potential causes of action for Peace, Hank, or Hank's Hunting & Fishing Store? What penalties should be assessed? Does your state have a process that restores a felon's rights to own firearms? If so, provide the law and a short description of the process. Do you feel the process is legal and ethical? Scenario 2: Employment Law Sarah Franklin, an Apostolic Christian, worked as an overnight stocker at SaveMore. One night, during a break, Franklin participated in a conversation about God, homosexuality, and same-sex marriages. The next day, an employee told the manager that Franklin made inappropriate comments about gays to Casey, a gay employee. Over the next six weeks, SaveMore investigated the incident by interviewing and obtaining statements from employees who were present during the conversation. In his statement, Casey reported that Franklin pointed her finger and said that God does not accept gays, that gays should "not be allowed to marry," and that they will "go to hell." Four employees confirmed that Franklin said that gays "are going to hell." SaveMore te.

This assignment asks you to apply geographical concepts to your life.docx

ronnag9bkla

This assignment asks you to apply geographical concepts to your life and to the world around you. The assignment requires both primary and secondary research. You will write three short “journal entries,” an introduction, and a conclusion (plus a bibliography). You will select three units from the course outline to focus on (e.g. urban geography, cultural geography, etc.). For each unit you will choose a small site (e.g. a playground, shop, public square, school, café, living room, temple, theatre, park) in Metro Vancouver and apply the concepts and vocabulary from the unit (readings + lectures) to your observations at the location. To do this, you must visit the place and spend at least one hour closely observing (looking, listening, smelling, touching, making sketches, taking photos, and possibly speaking to people) and taking notes . You will use your observations to illustrate the concepts/vocabulary from the unit you selected. At the same time, you are using geographical concepts to help you understand what you observe. You will record your reflections and observations in a journal entry. Your journal entry will connect the location and your observations to the concepts in the unit. Do not take anything for granted! As you will discover, even apparently minor features (a table, a photograph, a tree, a plaque, a glass of milk, a lamp, mementos, a bee) are important. Look for relationships between space, place, identity, and power. How can geographic concepts help you understand such interactions? Although your analysis will take into account landscape and humans (as well as other living beings), you may choose to focus on landscape/objects or human behaviour (rather than both). The three sites: -one must be a room in the apartment/house in which you currently live -one must be in the neighbourhood in which you live (e.g. Kits, Mount Pleasant, Guildford) -one can be anywhere in Metro Vancouver You will not be able to cover everything in the unit, but at least 2-3 key terms/concepts. You may use the same concepts that you used for the media assignment, but your analysis must be substantially different. Each journal entry must be 600-800 words. Indicate the date and time of your observation. Begin with a description of the place you observed, and then move into your analysis. Be sure to define the geographical concepts you use. If your paper contains maps, pictures or diagrams, label them clearly and refer to them in the text. For each journal entry you must also do some outside research using at least one scholarly source. You will use the scholarly source to add depth to your analysis and to incorporate what other scholars have said about the topics you are discussing. In addition to scholarly sources, you may use popular sources (e.g. website, novel, newspaper, movie) if you wish. Any time you use an idea from somebody else you must cite the source. Not doing so is plagiarism. Any citation style is acceptable as long as you are .

This activity will enable you to evaluate an example of music using .docx

ronnag9bkla

This activity will enable you to evaluate an example of music using a modified critical analysis outline. Choose one of the musical selections to analyze critically. You may access these pieces through the YouTube website: • Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony (Bernstein—Baviera 1/6) [Video file][9 min 10 sec] • Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor ( attr . J. S. Bach) [Video file][8 min 33 sec] • The Prayer (Foster, Bocelli, Dion; Live NYC Central Park, 2011) [Video file][5 min 18 sec] After choosing and listening to one of the selections, conduct research on one of the composers before writing your critical analysis outline. A minimum of two sources are required for this assignment. Because musical terminology can be difficult for those who have not had substantial training, use as a guide the modified critical analysis outline below rather than the one at the conclusion of Chapter 5. You may want to refer to Chapter 5 and the accompanying PowerPoint for any terms or concepts necessary in the analysis. Be sure to include all of the following points: • Classical form • Composer or vocalist biography (brief) • Background of the selection • Dynamics • Message or intended effect • Use of instruments or voices • Your personal response Be sure to include a convincing, inclusive conclusion at the end of your critical analysis and a bibliography of at least two sources that you used to prepare your analysis, one of which may be the class text. Do not use and cite Wikipedia. Instead, visit the Excelsior College Library to learn about academic sources. The page on Evaluating Information Evaluating Information includes helpful sections on "Print vs . Web Resources," Evaluation Criteria," Evaluation Scenarios," and "Media Literacy." Write a 500-750 word critical analysis. Follow the APA style, using the Excelsior College Library resources on learning to use APA Style. .

This article by Bernard Lewis asks important questions about why Mid.docx

ronnag9bkla

This article by Bernard Lewis asks important questions about why Middle Eastern countries are often ambivalent about modernization. In the process, he reviews the key elements that create modernity, the theme of this course. Many of the elements of the modern world system he discusses will now be familiar. Others, such as the role of individualism, the separation of church and state, and women’s rights, we have not had time to discuss. By creating this overview and asking what is uniquely part of Western culture and what is beyond culture, Lewis provides a capstone to the last three modules. His erudite musings help us ask: What is modernity? How did it come about? And where is it going? Read the information in the following article: Lewis, B. (1997). The West and the Middle East. Foreign Affairs. January/February. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/middle-east/1997-01-01/west-and-middle-east Answer the following questions: What parts of the modern world does Lewis assign an origin in Western culture? What does Lewis mean by civil society? What part of the modern world developed in Islamic regions? What aspect of global modernity does Lewis believe has emerged from its identification with one or more cultures? SLP Assignment Expectations In the Module 4 SLP, you are expected to: Answer the questions clearly, using full sentences with correct grammar and spelling. Write one or two paragraphs on each question. .

This activity highlights the development of paper diagnostics—diagno.docx

ronnag9bkla

This activity highlights the development of paper diagnostics—diagnostic tools that are inexpensive to make and simple to use. These devices are based on the widely expanding field of micro or nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS). Microfluidic devices move fluid through channels and include inkjet printer heads, needles, and Lab-on-a-chip technologies. These devices are created using millimeter and nanometer components and are an important component of many nanotechnology and biotechnology research facilities. First: Watch: Laurie Garrett: Our failing global health system (21 minutes) George Whitesides: A lab the size of a postage stamp (17 minutes) Small Fixes: Paper Diagnostics Next, familiarize yourself with the following terms and their definitions: Paper Diagnostics: is a versatile, disposable test that can diagnose a tiny amount of urine or blood for evidence of infectious diseases or chronic conditions, designed to be made of paper. Microfluidics: is a multidisciplinary field intersecting engineering, physics, micro/nanotechnology, and biotechnology, with practical applications to the design of systems in which small volumes of fluids will be used (milliliters and nanoliters). Microfluidics emerged in the beginning of the 1980s and is used in the development of inkjet print heads, DNA chips, lab-on-a-chip technology, micro-propulsion, and micro-thermal technologies. Ethics/Social Responsibility: Strive to promote social good and prevent or mitigate social harms through research, public education, and advocacy.

Thinking Critically About VisualsI Knew That Aliens Existed!”Ex.docx

Thinking Critically About Visuals “I Knew That Aliens Existed!” Examine the faces and body Language of people in the photo. Do you think they believe that this “alien” corpse is real? Do you think it might be real? Do you believe that alien life has visited earth? Why or why not? Let's examine the process of critical evaluation by thinking through a sample belief: “I believe that aliens have visited the earth in some form.” A Gallup Poll found that 42 percent of American college graduates believe that flying saucers have visited the earth in some form. Reasons/Evidence Authorities Many reputable people have seen UFOs and had personal encounters with aliens. The government has documented these in secret files, which include the UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. Government attempts at concealment and cover-up have been transparent. Thinking Critically About Authorities Although many individuals have testified about alien encounters over the years, almost all scientific authorities have been extremely skeptical. They emphasize that all of the “evidence” is unsubstantiated, controversial, indirect, and murky—the markings of pseudoscientific fantasies. If aliens and UFOs exist, why haven't they announced their presence in an incontrovertible fashion? Some of the most intriguing evidence comes in the form of the government's belated and somewhat bizarre explanations for UFO sightings and the alleged Roswell incident. On June 25, 1997, the Air Force announced that the mysterious happenings in the New Mexico desert in the late 1940s and 1950s were in fact experiments involving crash dummies and weather balloons. Six weeks later, on August 3, 1997, the CIA “admitted” that the U.S. government had lied about alleged UFO sightings in the 1950s and 1960s to protect classified information regarding top-secret spy planes, the U-2 and SR-71. Why did the government suddenly attempt to explain these mysteries after all these years? And why does there appear to be contradictory testimony from different parts of the government? Why do the government explanations seem almost as fanciful and farfetched as the UFO stories? References There are many books supporting alien visitations and alien abductions. Thinking Critically About References Although many books regarding UFOs have been written, few have been more than unsubstantiated speculation. Philip J. Corso, who served on the National Security Council under President Dwight D. Eisenhower, contended in his book The Day After Roswell (Pocket Books, 1997) that he personally directed an army project that transferred to the military various types of technology recovered from the alien ship that crashed in the desert. To date, efforts to prove or disprove his account have been inconclusive. After reviewing written accounts and interviewing people claiming to be alien abductees, Dr. John Mack, a psychiatry professor at Harvard Medical School, came to the conclusion that many of these reports are true.

Thinking about the five steps in the creative process, identify how Jeff Bezos exemplified some or all of these steps in the creative process as elements of personal, political, and positional power to effect change in organizational culture. Step 1: Opportunity or problem recognition – a person discovers that a new opportunity exists or a problem needs to be resolved. The creative leader recognizes a successful way to commercialize this development. Step 2: Immersion – the individual concentrates on the problem and becomes immersed in solving it, collecting information and considering alternatives and solutions. Step 3: Incubation – the person keeps the assembled information top of mind and is engaged in solutions, even if on a subconscious level, while arranging the information into meaningful new patterns. Step 4: Insight – the person realizes a problem-conquering solution often in a random moment or unexpected time. He or she experiences an “Aha” moment in which information patterns fit into business solutions. Step 5: Verification and application – the individual attempts to prove that the creative solution has merit and business viability. The verification procedures include gathering supporting evidence, using logical persuasion, and experimenting with new ideas. The application process requires persistence and tenacity, as others tend to first reject most novel ideas as impractical. Instruction : Please compose a 3-5 paragraph response as identified above. Follow the rubric requirements (attached). Sources must be cited with APA format. Plagiarism is unacceptable. Must be less than 20% copied from source. .
