Define the five core principles of communication privacy management theory in your own words.

Please answer the following fifteen questions in as much detail as the question warrants, at least a paragraph but in many cases more. Be sure to refer to your textbook(A First Look at Communication Theory, Tenth Edition, by Em Griffin, Andrew Ledbetter, and Glenn Sparks) and use proper terminology. Don’t be vague with your answers and examples, be very detailed and specific

1. Sherif’s social judgment theory (SJT) states that “most dramatic cases of attitude change, the most widespread, and enduring, are those involving changes in reference groups with differing values.” Paraphrase what Sherif means. Why do you believe this happens? Can you provide an example from personal experience?
2. Let’s say that you and I have very different opinions on water conservation—I say, “who cares? I’m entitled to water my lawn,” and you say, “making sure everyone has enough water is more important than green grass.” What would Sherif say you would need to do to persuade me to change my mind?
3. According to the elaboration likelihood model (ELM), the peripheral route is a mental shortcut. Why do we use it rather than thinking things out carefully? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the shortcut?
4. The minimal justification hypothesis of Festinger’s cognitive dissonance theory may be one of the most counterintuitive ideas in the social sciences. Explain how the $1/$20 experiment demonstrates that behavior may cause attitudes.
5. Assuming Festinger was right, why is the avoidance of dissonance a basic human drive? In other words, how do we benefit from seeking to avoid dissonance?
6. Both cognitive dissonance theory and the elaboration likelihood model (ELM) are cognitive theories of persuasion and attitude/behavior change. Identify one point of similarity and one point of contrast between the two theories.
7. Angela, Brian, Chloe, and Daniel have just gotten together for their first group meeting. Their task is to create a presentation on a theory of their choice for their communication theory course. With the functional perspective in mind, identify three guidelines the group should follow.
8. Name a group you belong to now (or belonged to in the past): A group of friends, a work team, your family, etc. Describe the fantasy themes in the group. How might you organize these themes into fantasy types?
9. Symbolic convergence theory focuses on cohesion, whereas the functional perspective focuses on effective decisions. Compare and contrast these emphases. What kinds of groups would find the functional perspective most useful? What kinds of groups would find symbolic convergence theory most useful?
10. Discuss the culture of an organization or business that you know well. Pay particular attention to the organization’s metaphors, stories, and rituals.
11. Consider ethnography as a method. Why have cultural approach scholars so enthusiastically embraced the method? What disadvantages does the method possess? If ethnography were unavailable, what might be another approach to discovering organizational culture?
12. Walther developed the hyperpersonal perspective with reference to text-based media such as e-mail. To what extent do the four elements of the perspective also apply to a modern social networking sites such as Facebook, etc.? How about video chat, Zoom, or text messaging?
13. The critique section describes Turkle’s concerns about online communication, which contrasts with Walther’s generally upbeat take on communication technology. Write an imaginary dialogue between these two scholars. In this dialogue, probe areas of similarity and difference between their claims.
14. Define the five core principles of communication privacy management theory in your own words. Which principle is most important? Least important? Why did you choose these two?

Does the desire to preserve these icons become a form of worship?

/in /by

Students will write a five (5) page paper, including a bibliography, investigating the history of Iconoclasm, including the current destruction of religious and historic artworks by Islamic fundamentalist groups. According to Mark Getlein, writing the 10th edition of Living with Art, “Images have played an important role in almost every religion in the world.” Through the ages much of the world’s religious art has been transferred from places of religion to museums and are now looked upon as cultural and historical icons. Does the desire to preserve these icons become a form of worship? If so, is worshiping works of art not the same as worshiping what they represent? That is the iconoclastic point of view.

Through well-reasoned, logical supported conclusions, students will demonstrate how communities—regional, national, and global—can effectively respond in a socially responsible manner to both religious needs and the preservation of our historical culture.

Papers should be written following the MLA format and guidelines. Papers should be five (5) pages, including a bibliography page. Each page should be numbered and double-spaced with the font no larger than 12. I do not require a cover page, however page 1 should include the following header in the upper left corner:

Mum Bet had challenged the documents that proposed the principles in the Massachusetts State Constitution. She had become the first African American woman to file a lawsuit for the freedom in the state of Massachusetts, a lawsuit that she won. Mum new that all men were born equal, free, having certain natural, essential and unalienable rights. She argued that slavery had violated this very important sentiment. Her very important case helped bring end to slavery in Massachusetts and brought a more equal nation to African Americans.
“Mankind in a state of nature are equal, free, and independent of each other, and have a right to the undisturbed enjoyment of their lives, their liberty and property.” The very language is similar to that of the United States Declaration of Independence, and in the Massachusetts Constitution of 1780. Mum Bet found an attorney who helped draft her case, and she fought for her freedom. “The writ of replevin” was a document that ordered the release of Bet and after her release; she had become a domestic worker, and was able to buy her own house where she lived with her children. Her case determined if slavery was constitutional under the new Massachusetts Constitution.
She recognized the legal and moral importance of the words in the constitution and everyone witnessed what those words meant, She became the first woman to be set free under the Massachusetts constitution and she remains an inspiration to all of us who have the rights of freedom and safety in a world.

Final Paper 10 points

Final Paper 10 points

Hi folks.  For the final essay, you’ve just got to answer the following question.

1.) What is Noir?  How has it influenced a more recent filmmaker in their work?  Give specific examples, back up with scholarly articles.

Write at least 1000 words or four pages, but no more than 1250 words or five pages, 12 pt. type, double-spaced. This assignment will be graded on the basis of thoroughness and depth of your analysis, and the overall quality of your writing.

The more specific grading criteria will be carried over from the first two assignments.

Introduction 1.5 points

  • Set the context
  • State why the main idea is important
  • State your question or assertion

Body Paragraphs 5 points

  • &Body paragraphs should discuss the inquiry process you followed to research your problem. These paragraphs should include the following:

o Introduction of source (film, and then scholarship you’re pulling from–title, author, type of media, publisher, publication date, etc.) and why you chose to use it in your analysis.

o Important information you found in the source regarding your question or assertion

o Build a relationship between your source material and the screening, along with personal introspection.  Here you can use subjectivity in relation to your sources to fuse your own thoughts on the material— a word of caution.  Avoid using ‘I’ and avoid using such words as ‘to me, personally’ as this is not well regarded in academic essay writing. We, the readers, will understand that you are infusing this material with your own perspective.

Conclusion: 1.5 points

The conclusion should restate the what you explored, outline some of its possible causes and sources. If you still have any questions about your thesis (and it’s ok to have some), you will discuss them here. Talk about why you think you still have questions regarding the problem you explored, where you might look to answer these questions, and what other forms of research you would have to do.
