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. What do you think? Does the media reflect what is already going on in society, or.
Youve probably noticed how each chapter ends with an analysis of th.docx
You've probably noticed how each chapter ends with an analysis of the chapter's topic using each of the three main sociological paradigms, right? Well, now it's your turn! For this paper, you will need to select a social issue from the list below and analyze it from the perspective of a Structural Functionalist, a Conflict Theorist, and a Symbolic Interactionist. Then you'll conclude your paper with an evaluation of the relevance / helpfulness of each perspective for understanding your chosen social issue.
Functionalism is a macro-level theory that looks at the different structures of society like organs in the body - a bunch of different parts working together to maintain the equilibrium of the whole. When functionalists look at an enduring aspect of society, they think, "What is its purpose? What function does this serve?" The functionalism paradigm seeks to understand how all aspects of society, even those that may seem negative or harmful, contribute to the continuity of society, so this perspective tends to bring an optimistic point of view of to social issues.
Conflict theory also takes a macro-level view of society, but this perspective tends to bring a more pessimistic point of view to social issues. Conflict theorists see the world as divided into two groups: a dominant group and a subordinate group. These two groups are in constant conflict, competition, or struggle over control of power and resources, but the dominant group puts structures and institutions in place to maintain control of these resources. The father of conflict theory, Karl Marx, defined the dominant and subordinate group by economic conditions, but more contemporary adaptations of conflict theory define the dominant and subordinate groups along other dimensions. For example, feminist theory defines these groups by gender and critical race theory by race and ethnicity. Regardless of the dimension used to define the dominant and subordinate groups, conflict theorists are interested in analyzing the social forces that maintain inequalities (usually with an eye toward dismantling and changing those systems).
Symbolic interactionism is a micro-level theory, so the type of analysis performed using this perspective will look very different from the macro-level theories above. Symbolic interactionists are interested in interactions and communication between individuals and small groups. Communication, in all its various forms (writing, singing, painting), is a series of symbols, and proponents of this perspective are interested in understanding how we make sense of these symbols and the world around us. How do we imbue meaning and value into these symbols? How do these meanings and values shape how we see the world? How are these meanings and values shared through interaction? How are they changed through interactions?
These three paradigms are like different lenses you can put on (and take off) to see the world. Although they may be used to observe the same socia.
Issues relevant to the public agenda may be broad in nature, affecti.docx
Issues relevant to the public agenda may be broad in nature, affecting society at large, or they may emerge from concerns affecting a specific community. They may appear to be common problems that could be solved through public policy or legislation. Many contentious political issues have their origins in one or more of the basic concepts and principles of democracy. If you take a close look at the headlines of a leading newspaper or newsmagazine, you are likely to find several stories about issues relating to democratic concepts, such as freedom or equality, or principles, such as the proper role of government in society. How democratic concepts and principles intersect with public agenda items is an important matter to consider when studying democratic governance.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the article “Democracy and Equality” in this week’s Learning Resources. Think about how democracy might influence the public agenda.
Review the article “The Universal Declaration of Human Rights” in this week’s Learning Resources. Reflect on how the articles of the declaration are related to democratic concepts and principles and how these might play out in the public agenda.
Review the articles “Property” and “The Right to Private Property” in this week’s Learning Resources. Using this concept as an example, consider how concepts and principles of property influence public agenda.
Peruse current newspapers, magazines, or online news sources and take note of which articles relate to democratic concepts and principles.
Select a public agenda item related to your specialization or an area with which you are familiar.
Think about how concepts and principles of democracy impact the agenda item you selected.
Consider ways in which democratic concepts and principles shape the public agenda in general.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 5
a brief description of the public agenda item you selected. Then, explain how two or more concepts or principles of democracy impact that public agenda item. Finally, share your thoughts about ways in which democratic concepts and principles shape the public agenda. Be specific.

About The Semester Project
This course requires a long-term investigative project. This project will require the formation of teams. As a team you will be asked to
defend a claim about a relevant political concept or phenomenon, and to connect
each of the following cultural artifacts to a concept or set of related concepts addressed in this course:
·
· An event
· A film
· A book or short story
· A painting
· A sculpture
· A musical composition
This project must include an explanatory essay and a presentation, which you will turn in as a team. The explanatory essay must conform either to MLA format or the Chicago Manual of Style, and be of sufficient length to incorporate each of the examples listed above. Depending on the size of your team, the minimum page length shall vary as follows:
· For a single author, the minimum length shall be 12 full pages in standard manuscript form.
The presentation must involve every member of your team, and must be presented in the session during Finals Week.
Unlike other information tasks in this course, the Semester Project is an Open Task rather than a Direct Task (Please see the Big6 Information Literacy presentation for details about the difference). You and your team are asked to construct your topic together. In the past, successful teams have built their project in a variety of ways. Some have connected their project in Government to their own specific fields of study or interest. Others have synthesized two or three thematic areas from the list of content themes appearing on page 3 of this document. Remember also that for this project, the article you and your team compose should be a unified article, in that the reader should not be able easily to tell where one author ends and another begins; that is, if you have more than one member of your team.
This Project
mustinclude the following:
·
A single discernible thesis. This is the main idea of your project. This thesis
must be either
analytical or
expository in nature. It may serve an argumentative or persuasive purpose. However, the essay must conform to the Universal Intellectual Standards outlined by the
Foundation for Critical Thinking.
·
An appropriate thesis. Your team must relate the above cultural artifacts to a theme or concept in this course. In Federal Government, this means a topic connected to any of the following:
·
·
· Political theory or philosophy
· Political culture or Ideology
· US Constitutional Principles
· US Constitutional Provisions
· Themes of the US Constitution
· Federalism
· Public Opinion
· Political Socialization
· Information media

Summary of chapter 11
Citizens can participate in politics in a variety of legal ways: conventionally, by voting and taking part in public opinion polls; organizationally, by joining political parties or interest groups; or professionally, by working full time for such organizations. Street demonstrations and economic boycotts are unconventional forms of participation. Illegal participation runs the gamut from nonviolent actions (civil disobedience) to extremely violent acts (terrorism).
Public opinion polls can influence the political process in various ways. Elections, despite inherent limitations, are the democratic way to translate mass .

I. INTRODUCTION to the ASSIGNMENT
Institutionalized Inequalities Persists
Sociology reveals that we live in a stratified society. An individual person’s access to social resources and opportunities varies markedly depending on numerous
factors
, including those
associated with their social location at the always intersecting systems of institutionalized inequalities. Class, race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, religion, and sexual orientation
are important predictors of patterned outcomes at the social group level, across institutions. Examining these arenas at a macro level allows sociologists to achieve a more sophisticated grasp of their workings and the larger social structural dynamics at play. This higher level thinking is also necessary to the creation of well-informed strategies designed to create new forms of justice. Half measures are arguably problematic. As Malcom X once said, "If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made" (1964, but as relevant as ever today).
People Make History
Sociology also reveals that people make history. We are historical agents who help (re)produce and (potentially) transform institutions and culture moment-to-moment throughout our days perpetually. As historical agents, we have the capacity to contribute to positive change in our daily lives. A more just and sustainable world is possible and looming. “Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing." (
Arundhati Roy)
Social Policy is an Excellent Avenue for Concrete and Critically Informed Social Change.
Social policy is an excellent avenue for achieving social justice
because it moves human and economic resources and facilitates enacting concrete actions for concrete change. Importantly, it allocates our combined social wealth (tax dollars, human energy). We can continue to invest policy dollars and energy into war, policing, punishment, and corporate welfare--deepening the existing social relationships and macro patterns of unequal power. Another route, already underway, is to shift our resources toward policy efforts that address social inequities at their roots, and nourish healthy communities. Your readings in the final section of the class include policy platforms that you may consider models for this paper (though your proposal will necessarily be much smaller in scope, given word count limits).
Other strategies for social change include but are not limited to
legislation
(lawmaking by representative government or other governmental bodies),
litigation
(using the courts),
research
(the work of think tanks, universities, organizations, activists),
community organizing
(movement building; awareness-building;.
Essay About Democracy.pdf
This document discusses writing an essay about democracy. It notes that an essay on democracy must provide a comprehensive overview of its concept by analyzing its historical roots, philosophical underpinnings, practical implementations, criticisms, and ability to adapt.

It concludes by recommending writing assistance platforms that can offer guidance on crafting well-researched essays that effectively communicate their intended messages.
Inherent in the concept of citizenship is the exchange wherein citiz.docx
Inherent in the concept of citizenship is the exchange wherein citizens give allegiance to a nation and receive protection offered by that nation. Citizens therefore have certain privileges in the eyes of the nation, such as the right to vote, to pay taxes, and to refuse certain actions, such as reciting the Pledge of Allegiance because it refers to God. There are benefits and entitlements that the citizen can demand from the government. These rights are balanced by responsibilities, such as upholding the law, participating in government, and engaging in the same privileges previously mentioned.
In this unit, issues of the middle class, the welfare state, and what constitutes citizenship will be examined based on the concept of citizen rights.

Essay On Democracy. Oklahoma Wesleyan University
Writing an essay on democracy is challenging due to its vast and complex nature. It requires understanding the principles, historical evolution, forms, and societal impacts of democracy. Discussing democracy also necessitates considering contrasting viewpoints and engaging with both strengths and weaknesses of democratic systems. Examining real-world examples and contemporary issues further demands a practical understanding of how democratic principles are applied and contested. While tackling this complex topic requires dedication and research, the process contributes to developing critical thinking skills and a nuanced perspective on this fundamental aspect of human governance.

Essays On Democracy. College of the Florida Keys
Crafting an essay on democracy is a challenging task that requires comprehensive understanding and nuanced exploration of its political, social, and philosophical dimensions. There are diverse perspectives on democracy from scholars and theorists throughout history. Additionally, the essay must address democracy's historical evolution through different cultures and analyze how historical events impacted the concept. The practical functioning of modern democratic institutions also adds complexity when discussing electoral systems, the media's role, and other challenges. The essay should also reflect an awareness of ongoing debates around issues like populism, technology's influence on politics, and challenges to democratic values. While complex, writing on this topic provides an opportunity for critical thinking by grappling with fundamental questions about governance, representation, and citizen participation.
The issue of who should govern who has been of major concern t.docx
The document discusses different philosophers' views on who should govern society. Plato believed that one leader could harmonize conflicting interests and bring political order. Aristotle believed that politicians could bring people together in society. Both philosophers were trying to explain issues of leadership and governance. Aristotle added that politicians are like craftsmen who can implement ideas and agendas of governance for society.
Challenges Posed by DemocracyThe early weeks of this course emphas.docx
Challenges Posed by Democracy
The early weeks of this course emphasized the integral role that processes play in democratic governance. While democratic processes are important to democratic governance, they are sometimes slow and messy and may seem to be an impediment more than a means for resolving society’s problems. In addition, the daily operations of the democratic system create challenges to its very existence. Particular issues and challenges also may place a strain on democracy. One example is the tension between liberty and safety related to individual rights and personal security. Both issues highlight elements of founding democratic principles, yet they conflict and demonstrate discord within the microcosm of democracy. As a student of governance and public policy, it is important that you are aware of how challenges within democracy might impact day-to-day governance and policy making. Understanding these challenges may be helpful as you develop strategies to surmount them as they arise.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the media piece “Perspectives on the World Speaker Series: Politics in an Age of Partisanship with Christine Todd Whitman” and think about the role of partisan politics in democratic governance. Also, consider the conflict between partisan politics and policy making and how partisanship might impact policy making in a democratic government.
Think about how the democratic process might hamper or challenge policy making and consider strategies that might be used to overcome those challenges.
Revisit the Constitution of the United States (located in the Week 3 Learning Resources) to review democratic principles. Think about conflicts that may exist among those principles.
Peruse the Internet, periodicals, or other current sources of information for current policy issues on the public agenda.
Select a current policy issue (other than the one in the media piece) that poses a challenge to governance and/or public policy.
Think about how democracy poses a challenge to resolving the policy issue by means of governance and/or public policy.
Reflect on how we might overcome some of the limitations of democracy.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 3
a brief description of the policy issue you selected. Explain how democracy poses a challenge to the resolution of the issue by means of governance and/or public policy. Be specific and provide examples to illustrate your explanation. Explain how the democratic challenges to the resolution of that issue might be overcome.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources

What Is Democracy Essay
Writing an essay about democracy is challenging because democracy is a complex concept with varying interpretations across cultures and ideologies. The essay would need to define democracy by exploring its origins in ancient Greece and different thinkers' conceptualizations. It would also address criticisms of democracy and analyze its practical applications in different countries, providing examples of both successful implementations and instances where democracy faced issues. Additionally, the essay has to discuss how democracy intersects with concepts like freedom, equality, and justice in social, economic, and cultural dimensions. To present a coherent argument, the essay requires a comprehensive understanding of democracy's evolution, theories, and contemporary problems through navigating diverse perspectives and analysis.

About The Semester Project
This course requires a long-term investigative project. This project will require the formation of teams. As a team you will be asked to
defend a claim about a relevant political concept or phenomenon, and to connect
each of the following cultural artifacts to a concept or set of related concepts addressed in this course:
·
· An event
· A film
· A book or short story
· A painting
· A sculpture
· A musical composition
This project must include an explanatory essay and a presentation, which you will turn in as a team. The explanatory essay must conform either to MLA format or the Chicago Manual of Style, and be of sufficient length to incorporate each of the examples listed above. Depending on the size of your team, the minimum page length shall vary as follows:
· For a single author, the minimum length shall be 12 full pages in standard manuscript form.
The presentation must involve every member of your team, and must be presented in the session during Finals Week.
Unlike other information tasks in this course, the Semester Project is an Open Task rather than a Direct Task (Please see the Big6 Information Literacy presentation for details about the difference). You and your team are asked to construct your topic together. In the past, successful teams have built their project in a variety of ways. Some have connected their project in Government to their own specific fields of study or interest. Others have synthesized two or three thematic areas from the list of content themes appearing on page 3 of this document. Remember also that for this project, the article you and your team compose should be a unified article, in that the reader should not be able easily to tell where one author ends and another begins; that is, if you have more than one member of your team.
This Project
mustinclude the following:
·
A single discernible thesis. This is the main idea of your project. This thesis
must be either
analytical or
expository in nature. It may serve an argumentative or persuasive purpose. However, the essay must conform to the Universal Intellectual Standards outlined by the
Foundation for Critical Thinking.
·
An appropriate thesis. Your team must relate the above cultural artifacts to a theme or concept in this course. In Federal Government, this means a topic connected to any of the following:
·
·
· Political theory or philosophy
· Political culture or Ideology
· US Constitutional Principles
· US Constitutional Provisions
· Themes of the US Constitution
· Federalism
· Public Opinion
· Political Socialization
· Information media
· Interest Groups

Summary of chapter 11
Citizens can participate in politics in a variety of legal ways: conventionally, by voting and taking part in public opinion polls; organizationally, by joining political parties or interest groups; or professionally, by working full time for such organizations. Street demonstrations and economic boycotts are unconventional forms of participation. Illegal participation runs the gamut from nonviolent actions (civil disobedience) to extremely violent acts (terrorism).
Public opinion polls can influence the political process in various ways. Elections, despite inherent limitations, are the democratic way to translate mass .

I. INTRODUCTION to the ASSIGNMENT
Institutionalized Inequalities Persists
Sociology reveals that we live in a stratified society. An individual person’s access to social resources and opportunities varies markedly depending on numerous
factors
, including those
associated with their social location at the always intersecting systems of institutionalized inequalities. Class, race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, religion, and sexual orientation
are important predictors of patterned outcomes at the social group level, across institutions. Examining these arenas at a macro level allows sociologists to achieve a more sophisticated grasp of their workings and the larger social structural dynamics at play. This higher level thinking is also necessary to the creation of well-informed strategies designed to create new forms of justice. Half measures are arguably problematic. As Malcom X once said, "If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made" (1964, but as relevant as ever today).
People Make History
Sociology also reveals that people make history. We are historical agents who help (re)produce and (potentially) transform institutions and culture moment-to-moment throughout our days perpetually. As historical agents, we have the capacity to contribute to positive change in our daily lives. A more just and sustainable world is possible and looming. “Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing." (
Arundhati Roy)
Social Policy is an Excellent Avenue for Concrete and Critically Informed Social Change.
Social policy is an excellent avenue for achieving social justice
because it moves human and economic resources and facilitates enacting concrete actions for concrete change. Importantly, it allocates our combined social wealth (tax dollars, human energy). We can continue to invest policy dollars and energy into war, policing, punishment, and corporate welfare--deepening the existing social relationships and macro patterns of unequal power. Another route, already underway, is to shift our resources toward policy efforts that address social inequities at their roots, and nourish healthy communities. Your readings in the final section of the class include policy platforms that you may consider models for this paper (though your proposal will necessarily be much smaller in scope, given word count limits).
Other strategies for social change include but are not limited to
legislation
(lawmaking by representative government or other governmental bodies),
litigation
(using the courts),
research
(the work of think tanks, universities, organizations, activists),
community organizing
(movement building; awareness-building;.
Essay About Democracy.pdf
This document discusses writing an essay about democracy. It notes that an essay on democracy must provide a comprehensive overview of its concept by analyzing its historical roots, philosophical underpinnings, practical implementations, criticisms, and ability to adapt. To do justice to the topic, the essay needs to navigate democracy's nuanced layers, address contrasting viewpoints, and maintain a balance between depth of analysis and clarity of expression. It concludes by recommending writing assistance platforms that can offer guidance on crafting well-researched essays that effectively communicate their intended messages.
Inherent in the concept of citizenship is the exchange wherein citiz.docx
Inherent in the concept of citizenship is the exchange wherein citizens give allegiance to a nation and receive protection offered by that nation. Citizens therefore have certain privileges in the eyes of the nation, such as the right to vote, to pay taxes, and to refuse certain actions, such as reciting the Pledge of Allegiance because it refers to God. There are benefits and entitlements that the citizen can demand from the government. These rights are balanced by responsibilities, such as upholding the law, participating in government, and engaging in the same privileges previously mentioned.
In this unit, issues of the middle class, the welfare state, and what constitutes citizenship will be examined based on the concept of citizen rights.

Essay On Democracy. Oklahoma Wesleyan University
Writing an essay on democracy is challenging due to its vast and complex nature. It requires understanding the principles, historical evolution, forms, and societal impacts of democracy. Discussing democracy also necessitates considering contrasting viewpoints and engaging with both strengths and weaknesses of democratic systems. Examining real-world examples and contemporary issues further demands a practical understanding of how democratic principles are applied and contested. While tackling this complex topic requires dedication and research, the process contributes to developing critical thinking skills and a nuanced perspective on this fundamental aspect of human governance.

Essays On Democracy. College of the Florida Keys
Crafting an essay on democracy is a challenging task that requires comprehensive understanding and nuanced exploration of its political, social, and philosophical dimensions. There are diverse perspectives on democracy from scholars and theorists throughout history. Additionally, the essay must address democracy's historical evolution through different cultures and analyze how historical events impacted the concept. The practical functioning of modern democratic institutions also adds complexity when discussing electoral systems, the media's role, and other challenges. The essay should also reflect an awareness of ongoing debates around issues like populism, technology's influence on politics, and challenges to democratic values. While complex, writing on this topic provides an opportunity for critical thinking by grappling with fundamental questions about governance, representation, and citizen participation.
The issue of who should govern who has been of major concern t.docx
The document discusses different philosophers' views on who should govern society. Plato believed that one leader could harmonize conflicting interests and bring political order. Aristotle believed that politicians could bring people together in society. Both philosophers were trying to explain issues of leadership and governance. Aristotle added that politicians are like craftsmen who can implement ideas and agendas of governance for society.
Challenges Posed by DemocracyThe early weeks of this course emphas.docx
Challenges Posed by Democracy
The early weeks of this course emphasized the integral role that processes play in democratic governance. While democratic processes are important to democratic governance, they are sometimes slow and messy and may seem to be an impediment more than a means for resolving society’s problems. In addition, the daily operations of the democratic system create challenges to its very existence. Particular issues and challenges also may place a strain on democracy. One example is the tension between liberty and safety related to individual rights and personal security. Both issues highlight elements of founding democratic principles, yet they conflict and demonstrate discord within the microcosm of democracy. As a student of governance and public policy, it is important that you are aware of how challenges within democracy might impact day-to-day governance and policy making. Understanding these challenges may be helpful as you develop strategies to surmount them as they arise.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the media piece “Perspectives on the World Speaker Series: Politics in an Age of Partisanship with Christine Todd Whitman” and think about the role of partisan politics in democratic governance. Also, consider the conflict between partisan politics and policy making and how partisanship might impact policy making in a democratic government.
Think about how the democratic process might hamper or challenge policy making and consider strategies that might be used to overcome those challenges.
Revisit the Constitution of the United States (located in the Week 3 Learning Resources) to review democratic principles. Think about conflicts that may exist among those principles.
Peruse the Internet, periodicals, or other current sources of information for current policy issues on the public agenda.
Select a current policy issue (other than the one in the media piece) that poses a challenge to governance and/or public policy.
Think about how democracy poses a challenge to resolving the policy issue by means of governance and/or public policy.
Reflect on how we might overcome some of the limitations of democracy.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 3
a brief description of the policy issue you selected. Explain how democracy poses a challenge to the resolution of the issue by means of governance and/or public policy. Be specific and provide examples to illustrate your explanation. Explain how the democratic challenges to the resolution of that issue might be overcome.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources

What Is Democracy Essay
Writing an essay about democracy is challenging because democracy is a complex concept with varying interpretations across cultures and ideologies. The essay would need to define democracy by exploring its origins in ancient Greece and different thinkers' conceptualizations. It would also address criticisms of democracy and analyze its practical applications in different countries, providing examples of both successful implementations and instances where democracy faced issues. Additionally, the essay has to discuss how democracy intersects with concepts like freedom, equality, and justice in social, economic, and cultural dimensions. To present a coherent argument, the essay requires a comprehensive understanding of democracy's evolution, theories, and contemporary problems through navigating diverse perspectives and analysis.

Topic 2 DQ 1Qualitative research is a research method which .docx
Topic 2 DQ 1
Qualitative research is a research method which does not use numeric variables; it contributes knowledge or understanding by describing situations within certain groups or populations of interest. Data is often collected through interviews and observation (Helbig, 2018). Typically, when conducting qualitative research, there are enormous amounts of data which must be gathered, transcribed and managed. This amount of data can be overwhelming to the researcher, which may lead to confusing and erroneous results. There are ways to process the information into a quality study. First, researchers need to remain focused on the research question and the process to answer the question. Johnson et al. (2020) state, “Identifying and developing a research topic is comprised of two major tasks: formulating a research question and developing a conceptual framework to support the study.” Many times, the research question is too broad and too vague, which makes processing the information difficult. Additionally, the study should finish with a focused conclusion to help carry the focus through the entirety of the study. Wu et al. (2016) stated, “The process should be systematic (dependability) and well-documented in the analysis section of a qualitative manuscript.”
Second, Watkins suggests using the RADaR technique to manage all of the data. RADaR stand for Rigorous And accelerated Data Reduction. “The RADaR technique involves using tables and spreadsheets from general-purpose, word-processing software to develop all-inclusive data tables that undergo several revisions. These revisions, called “data reduction,” help produce shorter, more concise data tables” (Watkins, 2017). This process converts raw data into more manageable and user-friendly format.

Topic 2 DQ 1Child abuse is any Act of Violence either physic.docx
Topic 2 DQ 1
Child abuse is any Act of Violence either physical or emotional towards an individual under 18 years of age. Children of all age group are at risk of such forms of abusive activities. It is been estimated that globally around 1 million cases of child abuse (2 to 17 years) in form of physical, emotional and sexual violence and neglect occurred in the previous year(U.S Department of Health and Human Services, 2019)

According to UNICEF 2022 data on female genital mutilation, about 200 million girls in 31 counties are victim of such practices. In some part of Africa, this form of child abuse is a norm for the female especially teenagers, the main reason for genital mutilation is preventing victims from promiscuity(UNICEF : For every child, 2020)
Nurse's role in reporting child abuse
Any forms of child abuse must be immediately reported to the police as well as child care authorities functioning under the state government.
When a nurse suspects a child abuse, it must be immediately reported to the physician or the senior in charge nurse.
If the child is with the person suspected to be an abuser, the further assessment must be done after eliminating the person from the room.
Ensure that the child is comfortable and then a head to toe assessment must be performed.
At the time of examination it is advisable to have a witness probably from the medical profession.

TOPIC 1: Active Listening Skill Set; Assessing your Listening Skills, Barriers to Active Listening, and Improving your Listening Skills
First, we will look at "What is an Active Listener"? It’s a great question. Are you someone who while another is speaking is already preparing in your head your next statement?
I have had experiences where I was talking to a person who was not listening at all. Some have even been engaged with their phones, pretending to listen. It can be very discouraging!
Hoppe (2014) briefly stated:
Active listening is the willingness and ability to hear and understand. At its core, active listening is a state of mind that involves paying full and careful attention to others. Avoiding premature judgment, reflecting understanding, clarifying information, summarizing and sharing are the steps to great listening. By learning and committing to these skills and behaviors, leaders can become more active listeners and, over time, improve their ability to lead.
Listening with your heart.
I am still learning to do this. Yeshua listened to others with His heart. "Yeshua who was a great teacher listened without prejudice. There is an example where we can especially see His interaction with the woman at the well (Jn. 4:4-42 NIV).
Despite culture, gender, racial, and moral strikes against her, Yeshua lovingly interacted with her … both listening and talking" (
taken from Train Christian Leaders website
)
Humphries (2012) expands on this….
Emotional listening involves a range of qualities: politeness, political intelligence, an awareness of verbal and non-verbal cues, and a willingness to make the exchange enjoyable. (Humphrey, 2012, p. 55)
Learning Activities

c) How to Improve Your Listening Skills After taking the self-assessment. If you gave yourself a 4 or 5 rating on any question, you will find that item on pages 16 through 20 (Note:
pages may differ with e-books
).
HOMEWORK Submit your Self Assessment to the Dropbox below due Saturday, May 13th 2021.
Activity 3:2 Levels of Listening
Leadership communication is not only about what you say, it’s about how you respond to others. Your listening skills are crucial to your ability to understand and respond to thinking that may be different from your own.
All leaders must cultivate their listening on three levels:
LISTEN PHYSICALLY
Be present. You must be “in the moment” to connect with others.
Use open body language and eye contact to create rapport.
Eliminate physical distractions such as laptops, phones, and papers.
LISTEN MENTALLY
Stay with the speaker—rather than skipping ahead in your mind.

Topic 1: How Does Transcultural Nursing Theory Fit?
Transcultural nursing theory is also called the culture care theory. With this in mind, explain how you plan to incorporate the culture care theory in your Unit 7 presentation Assignment that is due on Friday, Day 3 of class, and how the theory relates to your proposed policy change in your policy change proposal.please 300 words and it needs to include this policy proposal for change......
There must be at least 3 references APA
Policy Change Proposal Section II
Introduction
The proposed policy change is meant to improve the effectiveness of public laws and regulations and even give information on the public use of funds. Further, it will address the practices of the private sector employment that affects the ability of people to work and make their living above the poverty line and this mostly applies to the youths, unmarried dependent adults. The proposal is meant to make the public policy more inclusive, collaborative and responsive to the interests of the ordinary citizen so as to prepare them for their future life.
From the proposed amendment, there are measurable goals that will determine the level of success of the policy change proposal and this will include: First, by the end of the year we expect 60% of unmarried adult children to be independent and live an economically viable lifestyle. Second, by the end of 2018, the rate of poverty to reduce by 19% since the country will be composed of economically productive youths. Lastly, we expect the employment rate in the country to increase by 26% thereby increasing the economy of the country (Dillon, Erin & Rotherham 2009).
Policy change options
“Do nothing option” is when one does offer no initiative for change characterized by unwillingness and inability to take responsibility or work towards an achievement. Incremental change option is the step of making small adjustments to the expected end results, and mostly it does not alter or threaten the existing structure of the youthful age or alter the current methods of family management in this case of the change proposal. A major change option is the one that will alter the content, structure, the scheme of assessment and the mode of provision of the programs in question i.e. it will entail deletion, addition and replacement to a substantial part of the program or the act of law (Detixhe 2011).
Financial criteria
Substantive funding stream is the amount of money that is existing independently of others and is in large quantity. Likelihood of ongoing funding is the amount of money that is required to fund the ongoing operation of future developments of a project that is not currently provided for in terms of cash, debt or equity. Ability to meet current and future demands of the proposal is all about sustainability of our society as per the future and the current needs and makes appropriate changes in the way we live (Center on Education Policy 2007).Political feasibility is t.
