Intellectual self-defence involves critically analyzing information from media and other sources to identify biases, gaps, and misleading claims. The media can "manufacture consent" by focusing disproportionately on certain issues and voices while ignoring others. To strengthen intellectual self-defence, people can get information from a variety of sources, consider alternative perspectives, and think critically about the motivations and reliability of different media outlets.
The media we consume affects us, but we also affect it. Most peopl.docxmallisonshavon
The media we consume affects us, but we also affect it. Most people think that they perceive truth objectively, as it is. However, we all see things from a point of view. Furthermore, people tend to seek media that supports their points of view. This can serve to further entrench us in a more narrow way of looking at things while at the same time making us feel more certain that our point of view is objective and neutral. We also learned in Chapter 8 that people have biases (such as the confirmation bias) that make it hard for them to embrace ideas that contradict with their own points of view. This week’s discussion seeks to explore how we can free ourselves from these tendencies.
Prepare
: Before addressing this discussion, take a look at the following video about the relationship between media and ideology [Link to video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4-XVZ7GQD8
] Make sure to read Chapter 8, for example on “Media and Mediated Images” (including all sub-headings).
Reflect
: Think about the ways in which people consume media that supports their own points of view. Consider what we might do to learn to think more objectively and see things from multiple points of view.
Write
: Answer the following questions:
In what ways are people manipulated by the media that they consume? Make sure to give specific examples.
What types of consequences can follow from people having more choices of what media they can consume?
Do we control our media or does it control us?
What can people do to break free from media hypnosis and have broader, more objective points of view?
In what ways might we strive to overcome confirmation bias? Address anything else that you find relevant and interesting in the chapter and video.

The goal of this discussion forum is to offer you an introduction to the field of cognitive psychology. Cognitive psychology is a discipline within psychology that is concerned with the scientific study of the human mind. The mind is responsible for a variety of functions and abilities, including perception, attention, consciousness, memory, reasoning, and decision-making. Most of our mental life is unconscious. If the objects of our attention are equated to the objects of our consciousness, it is reasonable to assume that we are aware of only a limited number of events in our daily lives.
For your initial post, complete the following steps:
Watch the video entitled,
The Magic of the Unconscious: Automatic Brain (Links to an external site.)
.
Select a “hot topic” of cognitive psychology based on what you have heard and/or seen in the media and your personal interests.
Look for a report in the media (e.g., newspapers, magazines, web pages of professional organizations, etc.) that refers to the selected topic such as “defendant cannot remember what happened,” “false memories explain UFO abduction stories,” and so forth.
Describe the content of the selected report and offer your own perspective. Namely, use your critical-thinking skills to examine the extent to which the claims made in the report and the evidence upon which the report relies are to be trusted. Then, discuss the real-life consequences of the evidence reported.
In your post, include a link to the selected report, and explain to the members of the class why you have selected it. Support your points with evidence from at least one peer-reviewed research article. Your initial post must be a minimum of 300 words.

Description of criterionDr. Dalaimo’s D.A.D.” method of critiemersonpearline
Description of criterion
Dr. Dalaimo’s “D.A.D.” method of critical essay writing: DEFINE APPLY DISCUSS DEFINE: Be sure to DEFINE all of the relevant sociological concepts that you use in your essay. For example, if I were to use the concept of “socialization” in a sociological analysis of video games, I might write: Video games play a role in children’s socialization, i.e., the ongoing process through which we learn our culture, in this case, ideologies about gender, violence, and the media. … APPLY: Always APPLY the relevant sociological concept to a specific example. The example could be from our text, from a video in class, from lectures, or from class discussions. A concrete and specific example helps to ground your argument. For example, if I were to apply the concept of socialization to the example of video game violence (taken from the documentary Game Over), I might write: An example of socialization can be seen in video games that reward violence with bigger, stronger weapons or special powers and/or advancement to a higher level of play. DISCUSS: Now DISCUSS the significance of your argument. Why is this important? How does this affect the social world? What are the consequences? Does it affect a group or individual’s life chances? For example, in discussing the significance of violent video games for the social world, I might write: One of the main consequences of video game violence is that violence is normalized and often becomes acceptable as a part of the everyday fabric of life.
BE SURE TO RE-STATE THE QUESTION IN YOUR ANSWER
* ALWAYS USE, DEFINE & APPLY RELEVANT SOCIOLOGICAL CONCEPTS
1) In what ways can sociology help us attain perspective about things we don’t understand? What are some of the limitations of a sociological perspective?
2) What are the main elements of culture? Give an example of each element from your own cultural group.

Beyond exposing students to other frames of reference/perspective and insight the less formal objective here is to encourage rational communication (read as openly non-emotional/subjective) and exchanges perhaps even disagreement while keeping emotions in check. How peculiar and why someone might ask? When involved in discussion proponents of a contrary view will often use your emotionality as grounds for dismissing/discrediting your point of view and statements; since emotions are subjective “irrational” uncompromising-based positions that cannot be compromised with towards a mutually effective end.

Ethics Essay Assignment
Due: 15 November 2016 – please upload to the Canvas “Ethics” assignment
You are asked to provide a response to the following ethics question. The raw material for your answer will come from your reading of:
Kidder, Chapter 1
Ford, Chapter 11
Our class discussion of the topic
Other readings posted to Canvas
Your ethics essay should be 1½ single-spaced pages (or 3 double-spaced pages). Be specific and use examples from the readings or from your own experience. If you would rather write about an ethics topic or event of more immediate concern to you, please do so.
I hasten to point out that this essay should not be considered ‘technical writing’.
************************************************************************************
We as professionals in the field of engineering are seen as the guardians of technology. That is, we are the ones who are the experts and who create the designs that are at the heart of the social and cultural norms that define day-to-day life in our era. With every design, we endeavor to apply the most advanced expression of our ability as a species now to brighten and extend our lives and our capabilities. As guardians, we are also the ones who ultimately decide which endeavors are worthy of our attention (and our heritage). With this …power…, comes a responsibility to make sure that technology is used in ways that are worthy and not wasted in nefarious, self-serving or greedy applications that ultimately go against our best interest as a species. In this exercise, you are asked to consider where we as a people should devote our efforts at technological enhancement and what areas should be beyond our tampering? That is, what are the limits of technology? Are there areas of human endeavor to which an application of technology would be inappropriate or unethical? Support your reasoning with links to your closely-held values.
In addressing this question, there are a number of sub-themes that you might develop:
1. How do we assure that “genius” technical ability is firmly tethered to moral and ethical accountability?
2. How do we protect ourselves from the harsh judgment (or sanction) of those who see a looming crisis or who are advocates of a point of view, however well-meaning?
3. As designers, how can we assure that our designs are used as intended and not “corrupted” for purposes that we feel are unethical? Once delivered, do we have a responsibility for the use of our designs? Or, do we (must we) cast them off and leave it to others to apply them ethically?
The following case studies might help you to focus on the topic of “What, if any, are the limits of where technology should or should not be applied to human endeavors?”
Case 1 Accountability: Tom Lehrer penned a memorable line in one of his protest songs of the 1960’s, in which he said, “ … and where they come down/Is not my department, said Werner VonBraun.” Werner VonBraun is a controversial figure. ...

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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
