The Film is Fruitvale Station, you have to have access to the movie. Student will choose a film, present quotes from each of the colorblind racism, frames, and analyze them accordingly, in a minimum of 6 pages. As his/her critical-thinking decision-making objective, students should decide whether the societal evidence he/she reviews in the paper (a) demonstrates the typical colorblind pattern that Bonilla-Silva describes in the textbook; or (b) reveals a more progressive and/or minority pattern; or (c) some combination of the above; or (d) some other pattern not discussed in the textbook but worth exploring in future research. The student may find that the quotes he/she analyzes deliberately challenge one of the 4 frames of colorblindness in some way, and he/she can note this in the paper as well. Each paper should consider the implications of the analysis of colorblindness for the future of multiracial society. In other words, how do the representations discovered in your analysis help and/or hinder a society's progress toward inclusive multiracial democracy? .

In social psychology, one of the main ways of studying how people interact with each other and their group behavior is through observation. One aspect of observation is through understanding the media. We live in a world of mass media, with blockbuster movies, dramas, situation comedies, and twenty-four-hour news channels. Add to this product placements and commercials. It could be said that what we watch or read is a reflection of who we are as a culture, but is that true? Movies like GoneWith the Wind (1939), although spectacular cinematic experiences, were steeped in racial stereotypes. However, that was long ago. The world has changed considerably since then. Right? You expect racial, ethnic, and gender stereotypes in the media to be a thing of the past. Consider movies like Scarface (1983), The Birdcage (1996), and The Waterboy (1998) and the popular drama series The Sopranos (1999–2007)—all had main characters portraying a particular group in a stereotypical manner. The fact is that stereotypes still do exist. The purpose of this assignment is to examine stereotypes on television to see if it promotes prejudice and discrimination. Pick a television program of your choice; it should be something current (from the last ten years) and can be a drama or a situation comedy. Using what you have learned from your readings, analyze the program and answer the following questions in your essay: What is the overall storyline and setting of the television program? Who are the main characters? Does the program portray the main or supporting characters in a stereotypical manner in terms of race, ethnicity, or gender? If yes, describe the stereotypes and explain how the stereotypes might promote prejudice and discrimination. If the program does not seem to promote stereotypes, explain how it was able to avoid doing so. Discuss the impact of stereotypes depicted in the media on individuals and society, using at least two contemporary examples. Submit your essay in a Microsoft Word document. Cite your sources using the APA format . .

ENTIRE COURSES FINAL EXAM

Week 5 Instructor Guidance One of the topics we’ve been talking about throughout this course is how we can track both the personal and societal impact of film. In fact, your Week One Introduction post asked you to consider this issue and, as we progressed through the class and learned new terminology--new ways of looking at film, we were able to reconsider and develop our perspectives on this. Both of your discussion posts this week touch on this issue, and it comes up in relation to your final written assignment as well. While everything we’ve learned has helped us develop a critical capacity for talking about film, deepening our appreciation of the medium itself, ultimately our understanding of the (sometimes very personal) way film intersects with society is the key to unlocking another layer to the material from this course. Students sometimes wonder about this course, asking how the material directly impacts their study of a chosen major. Students may even go a step beyond that and ask about how the material they've been studying has bearing on their anticipated career field at all! That's why it's important to take a step back, away from the camera, away from the specifications of shots or the varying aspects of cinematography. It's time to pull our eyes away from the screen and look around at the world that surrounds us. We should be able to identify and consider the many ways film can impact society . . . as well as how society may impact film! In this way, we can start to consider how we can apply what we've learned in this class! A recent study conducted by the University of Rochester (NY) finds that watching and discussing movies about relationships is as effective in lowering divorce rates as other, more intensive, early marriage counseling programs! Watch this video presentation. Follow this link for more information about the study, and to download information about the films the couples watched, as well as the different questions the researchers asked the couples to reflect on after they watched specific movies. As you reflect on your own journey in this class--how you watch movies and the kinds of impacts that films can have on people--try to think deeply about the many ways we engage with film and what it can really mean to us in our majors, in our careers, and in our lives! Many of the movies we respond to are made for mostly for entertainment. No matter their artistic value, or how intelligent the plot may be, the main goal is to find an audience and get them to pay money to watch what unfolds onscreen. Individual members of the creative team--the director, the writer, specific actors--might have other more lofty aims, but at the root there is a basic economic principle at work. Therefore, it would be easy to write these films off and focus more exclusively on documentaries or smaller budget movies made by guerilla filmmakers who aren't tied to the money making Hollywood scheme of things. We could focus on films that try.

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. ...

SOC 213: Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview The final project for this course is the creation of a sociological imagination PowerPoint presentation. The presentation is designed to encourage students to think about social problems—past or present, local or global—using their sociological imagination, which involves looking beyond the traditional expectations or veneer associated with social problems. This sociological skill set is imperative in order for student’s to truly begin to grasp the relationship and distinction between individual biography and social structures. Social problems are aspects of society that communities of people are concerned about and want to change or improve. Because social problems are social creations, students will uncover structural and cultural variables that help explain how a current social problem has emerged and persisted, and students will ultimately develop a “sociological imagination”“—the ability to see behaviors socially and understand how they interact and influence each other. The objective is to submit, in a creative PowerPoint presentation, a compelling case for why a student’s chosen social problem is indeed a social and cultural problem and not simply the result of individual choices. Sociologists do not discount the role of personal responsibility within a certain context, but rather seek to understand the power of an environment in shaping personal choices and patterns. For example, consider the social problem of youth unemployment. It is well-documented that in the last several years of America’s economy, young people have experienced unemployment in greater numbers. A presentation in this course about youth unemployment might be framed initially about how, in an American culture that is so focused on individual responsibility and achievement, an issue such as youth unemployment can be treated as purely an individual problem. False information surrounding youth unemployment at large sounds like this: “Today's youth are self-centered and lazy, and they have a sense of entitlement.” “They are not willing to make the sacrifices that we did by working their way up the corporate ladder.” To more specifically understand this sociological problem, students would need to narrow its parameters by selecting a given time period and/or a specific geographic area for youth unemployment. If a student chose to understand unemployment as a result of the Great Recession, it would be easier to scope the range of factors that contribute to this ongoing issue. To better individualize this issue, a student might choose to share his or her own story or that of a family member or a friend who experienced losing a job. Or, a student could choose to share the narrative from a movie, such as The Pursuit of Happiness or another contemporary example. Following this, it would be important to highlight a particular sociological theory: conflict, functionalism, or symbolic interactionism. Because theories are simp ...

Always use constructive language, even in criticism, to work toward the goal of positive progress. Topic 1 Staff Education a. Create a lesson about cultural diversity in the workforce. b. Explain how you would motivate your audience. c. Discuss potential barriers to learning. Reply to my peers Peer 1 Cultural diversity in the workforce involves multilingual colleagues, gender, religion, age, ethnicity, etc. but the lesson plan that I would like to write about is involving colleagues that are multilingual. In today’s society and in our country; speaking more than one language is a great privilege, benefit, and provides many opportunities. It is estimated that over 50 million people speak Spanish either as their primary language or secondary here in the United States of America. As a changing demographic and workforce; it’s of importance to be culturally aware and culturally competent as nurses in our skills, abilities, and experiences. To start our lesson, I’d like to gather employees together and encourage to speak about is common and unique in their culture and welcome different ideas and viewpoints. Next, id like everyone to share a story of either of a time of how they felt respected (of their culture) or the opposite; a time they can share with us of a misjudgment, disrespectful, or treated inferiorly. After these questions and stories are shared; I would like to encourage them to use this a learning experience of each other and how to be mindful and apply this out in the real world. Whether one needs to dissect and identify and prejudice or concerns them have about themselves or how we can all improve and be better individuals by being more aware and cognizant of our surrounding, diversity, and be culturally competent nurses. Common potentials of barriers to learning are getting out of your comfort zone and possibly a negative past experience (that can be hard to overcome). ‘Feedback must be specific, not general. [Adults] must also see a reward for learning … [They] must be interested in the subject [matter]. Interest is directly related to reward. Adults must see the benefit of learning in order to motivate themselves to learn’ (Galbraith 1990: 25). (Falasca, 2011). To overcome barriers; the one leading the group must first assess and communicate effectively what these potential barriers are for each individual. Expecting these potential barriers is important step to move through them and be successful in the goal of the diversity topic of discussion and learning. To assess be see if learning took place and how well this group learning discussion was and how effective it was is to evaluate and have return feedback; either verbally or written down privately.

Moreover, it means believing that the people who face those problems every day are the ones who hold the key to their answer. Human-centered design offers problem solvers of any stripe a chance to design with communities, to deeply understand the people they’re looking to serve, to dream up scores of ideas, and to create innovative new solutions rooted in people’s actual needs.

The Federal Response to Hurricane Katrina Lessons Learned (February, 2006) recommended that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) establish a National Exercise and Evaluation Program (NEEP). By extension, the NEEP designated the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) as a way to standardize exercise planning and execution across governmental levels and sectors. Not all nongovernmental organizations use HSEEP in full or even partially. However, communities, states, and various federal agencies are expected to adopt and employ its tenets. Certainly, it provides the standard that is employed in the National Exercise Program (NEP). The HSEEP provides a standardized methodology for planners to use in designing, developing, conducting, evaluating, and improving exercises and training. The HSEEP also serves as an extensive resource, replete with useful tools, templates, and examples for building exercises and determining training needs, creating training events, and assessing the merits of all related activities. As you know or are learning, training and exercises are ideally integrated, not merely linked. What is the difference between these concepts of linked and integrated ? Exercises that are linked to training may (or may not) draw directly or indirectly from training drills and events. Exercises that integrate training are considerably more dynamic, with training occurring as the exercise unfolds. This latter technique better develops critical thinking, problem-solving, leadership, and decision-making abilities as well. The following illustration should clarify this benefit: Soldiers and law enforcement personnel routinely attend weapons ranges to practice and qualify on their assigned weapons. This training helps them to maintain proficiency or improve in their individual skills. Consider an exercise that links this specific training to other training. The soldiers are completing a special obstacle course in which they run, climb rope ladders, swing over water obstacles, etc. Sometime during the course, they shoot at targets and then dismantle weapons under timed conditions and must achieve a certain score on their target hits. There is linkage to firing weapons accurately to the overall stress-inducing obstacle course. Integrating the weapons training might look like the following: Soldiers, equipped with laser-emitting weapons, and wearing special sensors on their helmets and vests, commence to move in tactical formations proceeding through wooded (or desert, jungle, etc.) environments. Another group of soldiers, also equipped with special weapons and sensors, plays the opposing force. The two groups engage in realistic combat operations requiring accurate weapons fire, plus evasive movement, simulated first aid, evacuation of casualties, and other assorted requirements. In this case, firing a weapon potentially has an offensive and defensive role, yet is one part of a whole scenario. (You might substitute law en.

The Federal Reserve System was established to provide a stable monetary system for the entire economy. The Federal Reserve Bank (the Fed) has three major tools to control the money supply: 1) reserve requirements, 2) discount window for loans to member banks, and 3) open market operations. When the economy is in a recessionary mode, what will likely be the actions by the Federal Reserve using monetary policy? Suppose the Federal Reserve purchases a $100,000 bond from John Doe, who deposits the proceeds in the Manufacturer's National Bank; what will be the impact of this transaction on the supply of money? How do each of the Fed's tools work? What is the fractional reserve system, and how does it work in relation to the Fed? Review the Federal Reserve System and how the Fed alters the monetary base to achieve the levels of money supply in the economy. .

The Failure of Theory to Predict the Way Public Sector Organisation Responds to its Organisational Environment and the Need for a Mosaic-View of Organisational Theory Bryane Michael & Maja Popov Published online: 25 November 2014 # Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014 Abstract What does theory predict about the way government size and structure adapts to changes in government’s organisational environment (particularly to uncertainty and complexity)? In this paper, we review the theory and evidence from the literature about the way government size adjusts to such changes – particularly to changes in macroeconomic fundamentals like gross national product (GDP). We find that the traditional theories from the organisational theory literature—like the contingency-based view, resource-based view and the rational choice view – fail to provide global explanations for much of the variation we see in the world around us. Instead, theorists need to adopt a “mosaic view” of organisational theory – accepting that different theories may explain the way public sector size and structure responds to the uncertainty and variability in its (macroeconomic) organisational environment. We also provide several empirical hypotheses to test such a mosaic-view. Keywords Contingency theory. Public sector organisational theory. Resource-based view. Size of government .

Popov General Secretariat of the Government of Serbia, 11 Nemanjina St., Belgrade, Serbia Introduction Despite over 40 years of theorizing about public sector organisation, we still know very little about how government responds to changes in its organisational environment. A variety of theories predict how government size and structure should respond to the national macroeconomic environment it regulates (as well as buys and sells labour, capital and goods in). Contingency theorists argue – though are now in relative disrepute – that government departments and agencies grow, shrink, divide and/or merge in response to changes in the macroeconomic environment (Gupta et al. 1994). Resource-based theorists – and their newer off-spring who write about “competencies” – argue that these government departments morph, depending on the resources (budgetary, staffing, know-how and so forth) they already have available – or can obtain through bureaucratic and/or political means (Bryson et al. 2007). Rational-choice theorists, and select scholars in public administration, argue that government organisational structure does (or sho.

Project Plan Project Overview Statement, Part II Conversion of Legacy Database to New ERP Software Member 1 Member 2 Member 3 Member 4 PROJ-584 Managing Software Development Projects Professor Name School Name October 7, 2018 Project Plan Project Overview Statement Executive Summary Team #3 is proposing a software development/upgrade project to move from the legacy software/database MANFACT, to SyteLine® ERP inventory and financial database, to meet the needs of the growing business. This project is in line with the strategic objective of increasing sales and improving customer satisfaction by improving on time delivery at the Los Angeles, CA facility. This ERP software is in use at other facilities in the parent organization for many years now and has been successful in improving performance and delivery as well as reduced inventory levels and improved sales and bookings. This project has a preliminary budget of $500,000 with a duration of 12 -18 months. Statement of Scope This project will be company-wide and implemented in all departments and areas of the company. The new software Syteline® (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZLEMmqTdoE), will reduce the amount of manual tracking of jobs (phone calls, emails, manual excel schedules, attending department meetings, etc.) by providing real-time communication of timelines and part movement and flow throughout the shop and along with status of open programs or large jobs. It will also improve On Time Delivery (OTD) performance through enhanced planning and scheduling of orders. Reduction of lead times (customer delivery) through the elimination of wasted processes and excessive move and queue times built in because of manual processes. We intend to complete this transformation by: · Converting existing data into the new ERP database. · Upgrade server and network equipment to meet increased traffic demands. · Run pilot programs in parallel to test and verify new process capabilities. · Create standard work for each department · Train all employees that would use this system from managers to leads, from sales to production, and engineering to purchasing. Project Organization (MARC) This software upgrade will be in alignment with the organization's strat.

The federal government has assumed responsibility for educating children living on federal property since the 1800s by paying those children’s school tuition. The advent of the Korean War led to a significant increase in military housing. Military installations began building schools on federal properties in the southern states in the early 1950s. There are several reasons why military children began attending schools on military installations rather than the local public schools, also known as Local Education Activities (LEAs). One significant reason is related to desegregation. Desegregation in the U.S. Military occurred prior to desegregation in public education. To support its own desegregation policies and the type of community these policies fostered, the government established desegregated schools for the children of military personnel. In addition, state law prohibited the expenditure of tax revenues for the education of children living on federal property. The military decided to build its own schools for the children of military personnel rather than paying for these children to attend local public schools. At present, all stateside U.S. Department of Defense Educational Activity (DoDEA) schools fall under the responsibility of the Department of Defense Title 10 under the direction of the Secretary of Defense. The overseas schools (or, DoDDS) fall under the responsibility of Title 20, Department of Education (DoDEA; School Boards for Department of Defense Domestic Schools Training Materials, 2012). Throughout the years, there have been many changes and shifts, as well as attempts to reintegrate children into LEAs. From time to time, the cost of supporting the schools is brought into question. In addition, whenever a military installation closes, its associated school, if any, closes too. Not all military children attend schools on military installations. Many receive quality educations at their LEAs. Regardless if a military child attends a school on a military installation or an LEA, it is important for helping professionals to know the types of education available to military children, to know how to support the needs of these students, and to know the laws that protect and support the social, emotional, and academic success of military children. For this paper, take into account what you have learned so far about military culture, review the two videos assigned this week, and conduct some additional research to deepen your understanding of the education of military children. Submit a 3- to 4-page paper in which you: Choose one family from the videos and briefly describe their circumstances as if they were an identified client Explain how the DoDEA school system could be utilized to help the family you chose Analyze how the scenarios discussed or circumstances may have been different in a civilian school Explain what social work strategies you would utilize with this family Explain how military culture played a part .

The Facts Peel Factor is the leading fruit juice provider in the country. The company is family owned and has been headed by brothers, Ted and Kiki, since the untimely passing of their father a few years ago. Kiki is the face of the enterprise and acts as the Executive Director of Peel Factor, soaking in all the plaudits for how well the company has performed. Ted is the reliable right-hand man who, until recently, faithfully executes his duties as one of the directors. Unbeknownst to Kiki, Ted has always felt that he can do a better job than his brother in leading the company, if given the chance to do so. Secretly, Ted has been approached by a talent scout hired by Fresh Inc., who is Peel Factor’s direct competitor. Ted is intrigued by Fresh Inc.’s offer to head their company and is tempted by the potential to achieve recognition for his business sense and administrative ability. He gives his in-principle agreement to Fresh Inc. to accept their offer. Out of brotherly love, he decides to inform Kiki first before signing the employment contract proper. Unfortunately for Ted, a local news reporter gets wind of the intended appointment and releases the news via the country’s premier social media app. Kiki is enraged by this perceived “betrayal” and goes to talk to Ted, hoping to come to an agreement on the way forward. However, once he gets to the office, Kiki loses it and castigates Ted, calling him “a wastrel and a disgrace to the family.” Ted tries to ignore Kiki and refuses to speak to him initially. Kiki then goes on to tell Ted that he “is the reason why father passed on early,” because Ted “is such a disappointment.” Kiki also says that Ted is “lousy” and that is why he “failed” at his job, and that the company would do much better without him, even though he has no evidence for this statement. Unable to hold it together any longer, Ted yells that Kiki has “always been the spoilt favourite family brat” and has only got so far because he is “tied to mummy’s apron strings.” Incensed at the situation, Kiki then proposes to buy back Ted’s shares in the family business for $0.04 per share even though he knows that the market price is $0.20 per share. Ted shouts back that Kiki has always been a “bully” since Ted lost Kiki’s favourite stuffed toy in their youth, even though Ted knows this has nothing to do with the current dispute. Kiki and Ted then both claim that they will each hear from their respective lawyers about this situation. Inwardly, Kiki is devastated. He has always wanted the family business to do well and wanted to keep his family together. Before their father passed, Kiki promised to take care of his brother and now the family seems to be torn asunder. Heartbroken, Kiki wishes deeply to keep the promise to his late father. In fact, Kiki actually thought he was grooming Ted to eventually take over from him in the near future. Further, he is extremely concerned about losing his existing clients as well as his staff.

The Financial Review 40 (2005) 1--9 Reflections on the Efficient Market Hypothesis: 30 Years Later Burton G. Malkiel∗ Princeton University Abstract In recent years financial economists have increasingly questioned the efficient market hypothesis. But surely if market prices were often irrational and if market returns were as predictable as some critics have claimed, then professionally managed investment funds should easily be able to outdistance a passive index fund. This paper shows that professional investment managers, both in The U.S. and abroad, do not outperform their index benchmarks and provides evidence that by and large market prices do seem to reflect all available information. Keywords: efficient markets, stock market predictability JEL Classifications: G12, G14 I have been an advocate of the efficient market hypothesis for over 30 years. In my view, equity prices adjust to new information without delay and, as a result, no arbitrage opportunities exist that would allow investors to achieve above-average returns without accepting above-average risk. This hypothesis is associated with the view that stock market price movements approximate those of a random walk. If new information develops randomly, then so will market prices, making the stock market unpredictable apart from its long-run uptrend. I suggested, largely in jest, that ∗Corresponding author: Chemical Bank Chairman’s Professor of Economics, Princeton University, Princeton University—Bendheim Center for Finance; 26 Prospect Avenue; Princeton, NJ 08540; United States; Phone: (609) 258-6445; Fax: (609) 258-0771; E-mail: [email protected] This paper was presented to the 2004 Meetings of the Eastern Finance Association in Mystic, Connecticut. 1 2 B.

Malkiel/The Financial Review 40 (2005) 1–9 a blindfolded chimpanzee throwing darts at the stock pages could select a portfolio that would do as well as the experts.1 In fact, the correct analogy is to throw a towel over the stock pages and simply buy an index fund, which buys and holds all the stocks making up a broad stock-market index. In recent years, many financial economists have come to question the efficient market hypothesis. At least ex-post, there seem to be several instances where market prices failed to reflect available information.2 Moreover, periods of large-scale irra- tionality, such as the technology-internet “bubble” of the late 1990s extending into early 2000, have convinced many analysts that the efficient market hypothesis should be rejected.3 In addition, financial econometricians have suggested that stock prices are, to a significant extent, predictable on the basis either of past returns or of certain valuation metrics such as dividend yields and price-earning ratios.4 Although it is possible to cast doubt on the statistical robustness of many of the predictable patterns that have been suggested,5 my skepticism is based on somewhat different evidence. Surely, if market prices often faile.
