Community “need”

Your paper should be approximately 3-4 double-spaced pages in length,and should be professionally written and produced.

Be sure to draw upon specific course readings, discussions, and service experiences as you address the questions below. As well, be specific in drawing illustrations from your site experience and related materials  to help you support your claims.

Written Report:

  1. Name in 2-3 paragraphs detailing the community “need” your service-learning work is helping to address. Consider how this is a social or political matter by including statistics or other data from TWO outside sources to get some good research. For instance, if you were working to end human trafficking, you might explain that in NC, 38% of trafficking is in sex, 38% is in labor, and 23% involves sex and labor (Carolina Sex Trafficking Working Group, UNC, 2018). You might also include information on what are called “disposable domestics” and “sex slaves” who can be sold 10-40 times a day . How do the members of your service-learning site understand the social problem or issue they are working to address? Provide examples of the language members of your site use as they talk about the problem or issue.
  2. Explain a bit about your service-learning activity. If you were working to pass legislation making trafficking penalties more severe, you’d include details of what you are doing and how you are enhancing the work of your community partner. Relate the problem and activity to at least 2 main ideas from any of our class readings or beyond. Feature one or more photographs of your work at your community partner location or the products you are working on remotely .
  3. What does your service-learning site teach us about how we should understand the problem or issue? What is unique or compelling about how members of your site understand the problem or issue, compared to how people usually define the problem or issue?

Overall: Include references for your research (2 outside sources)

Business Communication

Objectives

Demonstrate your learning during the semester and provide a portfolio of written work. Show what you learned in Business Communication, create a set of writing samples that can be used if requested for job applications, analyze your own communication, and set goals for future professional communication.

Overview

A portfolio would be commonly brought to an interview that focuses on communication and writing skills. In that type of professional portfolio, traditional elements include a hook, a bio statement, and samples of work.

Your assignment. Complete a personalized, semester-long portfolio project intended to integrate the material covered in class. Unlike a portfolio brought to a job, you will also demonstrate your analysis of your communication skills. Both good and bad communication have a lot to analyze. Your analysis or “critical approach” should focus on the “why” and the “how” (Hoger, 1998, p. 64-65). The portfolio should reflect your self-assessment of your writing and presentation skills, and your communication plans for the future.

Each portfolio will be individualized to each student. Aim to consider how you can demonstrate expertise on your field (e.g., marketing, accounting, finance, etc.) in what you write and the goals you set for yourself.

Contents. Use activities, writing, and exercises from the class. You should revise drafts from earlier in the semester for the final portfolio.

Tell your story of your growth as a communicator with the portfolio. The format is a written document and should demonstrate excellence in business communication. Think of presenting a report on your work in this class during the semester to a supervisor or another professor. You will prove what you have learned and talk about how you have improved or plan to improve.

Peer review will take place for several of the written documents. Use the peer review feedback as you revise for a final draft. Also, it is recommended you also take your documents to the Writing Center or Business Communication Center for feedback and run them through Grammarly (however, you are still responsible for proofreading the contents on your own as well).

 

 

Why are we often afraid to “start anything” with people who have offended us or made us angry? What keeps us from speaking up? Is it easier to say something to a friend or to someone you have just met? Why?

Adaptation Theory

The first prompt addresses experiences of culture shock. Although this concept is most frequently utilized to understand the experience of migrants, sojourners, or travelers when entering a new country, we can also experience culture shock in our own nations and neighborhoods when faced with unfamiliar experiences. For this question, you have a choice to either:

  • Provide an example of a time you entered and had to adapt to an environment that was “foreign” enough that you went through the stages of culture shock. For this question, you are a student from Saudi Arabia, and just moved to the US.

Be sure to define culture shock and its phases in your response, using concrete examples to illustrate. Cite the textbook and the Adaptation Theory article in your response.

Second, read the case study below and then thoughtfully answer the questions that follow. Be sure to cite the textbook in your discussion.

Kevin and C.J. have been friends since elementary school. Even though C.J. has been attending college out of state for the last year, the two have remained friends. On some occasions, however, both C.J. and Kevin have noticed some changes in the other. Kevin has noticed that C.J. is a little more serious, and C.J. has noticed that Kevin uses derogatory language when talking about people of different races, genders, and sexualities. After being around Kevin for three days, C.J. has decided to discuss the problem.

C.J.: “What’s with you, Kevin? Why do you use that language?”

Kevin: “Ah, it doesn’t mean anything. It’s just talk.”

C.J. “Yeah, but it’s hard to ignore. It sounds real harsh to me.”

Kevin: “Come on, C.J., don’t take things so seriously. I would never say those things to anyone’s face.”

C.J.: “I guess.” C.J. didn’t want to start anything with his friend, so he just shrugged his shoulders and let the issue drop. He felt it wasn’t worth getting into a fight over, but he did not feel comfortable with Kevin’s explanation.

  • Have you ever been faced with a similar dilemma with a close friend, acquaintance, or family member? What happened? How did you deal with the situation?
  • Why are we often afraid to “start anything” with people who have offended us or made us angry? What keeps us from speaking up? Is it easier to say something to a friend or to someone you have just met? Why?
  • What is the harm of using racist and/or other derogatory identity-based terms if the person or group being referred to doesn’t hear the comment?
  • How might C.J. have talked with Kevin about his use of derogatory language without causing a rift between them?

Third, after reading the article “A Case-Study of Female Genital Mutilation in Egypt,” https://www.e-ir.info/2014/02/09/a-case-study-of-f…

Shattered Glass Movie Assignment

PART  ONE

Voice chat in online gaming is one of the few places with very limited regulated speech. Screaming obscenities, trash talk, hate speech, discrimination, insults, etc…at each other is very prevalent and almost nothing is off limits. Most gaming communities are the opposite of “Woke”. Anything you put in writing on text chat is easily censored, monitored, and punishable. Voice chat is rarely monitored and censored. Some love the fact they can say whatever they want. Others who may be looking for a “safe space” to game have to disable all voice chat features. Though games come with ratings, there are no age specific game lobbies. This means a child can play with adults and hear and take part in any conversations. Obviously, this has created controversy. Should online voice chat continue to be free from censorship and exist “as is”? Why or why not? If you think not, what would you suggest?

When have you been stereotyped? What are the narratives surrounding your stereotyping experiences? How did they make you feel? How did you know you were being stereotyped? How is the stereotype perpetuated? Do you know others who have had to deal with a similar stereotype?

/in /by

Stereotyping

Everyone is susceptible to stereotyping. People are stereotyped regarding age, appearance, occupation, race, gender and socio-economic status. They are stereotyped because they play sports (or don’t play sports), because they live in an urban area (or a rural area). Stereotyping occurs when one person makes assumptions about someone else based on one trait.

Reflect on your experiences. When have you been stereotyped? What are the narratives surrounding  your stereotyping experiences? How did they make you feel? How did you know you were being stereotyped? How is the stereotype perpetuated? Do you know others who have had to deal with a  similar stereotype? Do you know of any films, commercials, books, etc. that reinforce this stereotype? What can you do to handle these situations? How do you want people to perceive you? What can you do to change people’s perceptions?

You must include an outline before you write, remembering that all essays have a logical progression: a beginning, a middle and an end.
