What contradictions do you see between the real women around you and what you see in the media?

/in /by

VIDEO RESPONSE ASSIGNMENT

Watch the film Miss Representation on Kanopy [https://neiu.kanopy.com/video/miss-representation-0]. NEIU has a subscription to Kanopy, so you have access to the site with your NEIU student ID. You will need to register for the site before you can watch any videos.

After you watch the movie, relate what you’ve seen to what you’ve read in your textbook, and ideas we’ve discussed in class. Consider such elements as how gatekeepers are responsible for the view of women presented by the media; how the under-representation of women, and other groups, affects how society sees them; how advertising sets standards for expectation of female beauty; and how the media normalizes violence against women.

Use your observations and understanding to write a paper responding to the film. This paper must be minimum of three full pages, following the standards detailed in the PAPER GUIDELINES document on D2L. Your paper must include a cover page, to ensure that you submit full pages of text.

The following are some questions you might consider for your paper. DO NOT ATEMPT TO ANSWER ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS. In most case, ONE question would provide you with enough material for a full paper.

Questions for Discussion:

The director and interviewees in Miss Representation talk candidly about their experiences with sexism. What connections or empathy did you feel with the experiences presented in the film? What are your unique experiences?

Some critics claim the “glass ceiling” no longer exists for women in entertainment. Others argue that the successes of Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin indicates that sexism is a thing of our past, not our present. What do you think?

The opening title sequence shows real iconic women throughout history, such as Hattie Caraway and Dr. Condoleezza Rice, and the popular celebrity faces we see on-screen. What contradictions do you see between the real women around you and what you see in the media?

Academics argue that harmful representations of women persist because the media uses hyper-sexualized images to sell products/ideas/services. Who or what benefits from the misrepresentations of women in the media? Who holds responsibility?

How does a lack of diversity in decision-making roles impact what we see in mainstream media and advertising? What impact does this have on us as consumers?

What power do we have as a consumer? How can we change the way media portrays women and girls and the ways in which women and girls view themselves?

What strategies are working to promote more women to leadership positions and make sure they are respected when they arrive?

Your paper is due on D2L by TUESDAY, OCT 29, by 5:00 PM. Late papers will lose points.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

 

Determine the critical current temperature, Tc and critical current density, Jc using four-probe point;

/in /by

The topic for my project is neutron irradiation on Bi-2223. You don’t need to go much deeper on other concerns, just focus on the main objectives would be enough. The objectives of the project are:
1) To conduct background research on superconductors materials.
2) To investigate the effect of neutron radiation on superconductors.
3) To analyse the mechanical and electrical properties on the
Bi-2223;
– critical transition temperature, Tc
– ciritical current density, Jc
– AC susceptibility
4) To determine the characterization after the neutron irradiation process (structural and phase formation);
– XRD
– SEM

For introduction, discussion as well as the conclusion and recommendations should be written in active form. For the methodology part, it should be in description form and passive form. The images should be provided with a label (with reference) and description before the images. I’ve done some of the parts but I need your help with the methodology and results & discussions parts. I’ll provide the results. Also, is it possible for me to ask you to edit on the other parts such as the introduction or the literature review ? On the whole, I need to have around 5 pages for the methodology, 11 pages for the results and discussions part (in addition to the current pages) and lastly 1 pages for the conclusion and recommendations (in addition to the current pages). It would be 17 pages in total.Literature review;
1) Application of superconductors
2) Neutron irradiation on superconductors (flux pinning etc.)
3) BSSCO (Bi-2223)
4) Methods to determine the critical current temperature, Tc and critical current density, Jc
5) AC susceptibility of superconductors
Methodology;
1) sample synthesis using the solid-state method, co-precipitation method;
The Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3Oδ sample preparation was done using solid state co-precipitation method (Pb is not doped but as booster); sample A (Bi-2223+acetic acid, blue solution, 60°C at 300 RPM) mixed with sample B (oxalic acid+isopropanol (480 ml)+deionized H2O (320), clear solution, 60°C at 300 rpm) in ice bath (ice to momentarily stop the reaction, 2°C-5°C. deep-blue). Next the solvent from the mixed samples were filtered using vacuum filum and dried at 80°C for 24 hours then grinding, calcined, sintering to form a pellet. The precursor powder was subjected to pre-calcination of 12 h at 840°C, followed by 24 h calcination at 845°C. The pelletized powder was sintered for 24, 48 and 100 h at 845°C.The pellet then exposed to thermal neutron irradiation for one, 1-hour.

2) determine the critical current temperature, Tc and critical current density, Jc using four-probe point;
Tc, Jc measurement using four-probe point – run for 3 hours | AC susceptibility (AC machine) – run for 6 hours

3) identify the structural and phase formation between using the SEM graphics and XRD formation;
XRD analysis- the sample are grind until turns powder, refer to EVA software | SEM – determine the phase and structural formation
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Results (based on the objectives no.):
2) neutron irradiation → introduce defect → result in high Tc → enhance flux pinning

3) > Tc formula (obtained Tc = 106 K nearly to dominance Bi-2223 Tc = 110K) at R = 0 ohm in superconducting state
> Jc formula (Jc=Ic/A, area=bar), function – transport (*Ic = Jc); Ic -transport current which the flow voltage clearly appear; in superconducting state (at 77K, current set to 10 mA→20 mA the voltage maintain at 0.35mV but once start to change, when increase at 220 mA that’s the Ic used | 70K, current set to 220 mA | 30K, 400 mA | test from 77K until 30K 400 mA the maximum current can be applied)
*based on calculation using formula, expected the peak output (double peak/phases) for Jc from Tc.
*difference transport current density and critical current density
> AC susceptibility (normalized, diamagnet); only to observe the peak and determine the phases; also to validate Tc and Jc in magnetic field, can find Jc as well

4) > XRD – increase purity Bi-2223, determine phases which dominance (Bi-2122/Bi-2223), pattern should be sharp not broad as need to be single, high purity
> SEM – flaky

@

3(a) The critical current temperature, Tc is the temperature reached zero resistance (zero current); compare the critical temperature, Tc between the non-irradiated sample and one-hour irradiation
3(b) The critical current density, Jc of the one-hour irradiated Bi-2223 calculated using the current measured at a temperature range within 77K-30K and the area of the sample (measured current divided by area); discuss on the properties of the current density at each temperature and the highest Jc calculated is the critical current density.
3(c) Relating the critical current temperature in determining the AC susceptibility

4(a) The structural and phase formation between the pure sample and one-hour irradiated Bi-2223; analyse the morphological structure for both conditions, based on SEM images and discuss the effect of one-hour irradiation on the characterization of the sample
4(b) Discuss on the XRD formation obtained with the purity of the superconductor.

*compare between pure Bi-2223 and neutron irradiation for 1 hour
*future works – Bi-2223 tape

Introduction

To establish the main topic and its objectives. A good reason is set as to why the audience should listen. It is also the precedence of the rest of my speech. It is an opportunity to gain all the interests as well as trust from the audience. I want my audience to understand that childhood bullying a vital issue that should be looked into in society.

Attention Getter:

Different listeners have different knowledge and background. There is a need to keep the audience in mind when determining how to gain their attention.

  1. Listener Relevance Connection:

The linkage of the audience and topic occurs when the speaker can demonstrate how the attention getter is related to the speech topic.

  1. Speaker Credibility:

The audience should perceive the speech, to be honest. There is a need for the speaker to establish the information that is being presented.

  1. Thesis Statement:

A short and declarative simple sentence that defines the purpose and intention of the speech. It is essential when integrated into the introduction as it lays out the main objectives of the speech.

  1. Preview:

To understand the nature of children’s hardships, I will discuss the obvious characteristics of vulnerable children and main targets; lastly, I will look into possible remedies and solutions to disadvantaged children’s empowerment.

Transition:

Now we enter into the main focus of our speech.

Body

  1. Main Point One: I learned ways to stand up for myself and not let bullying get the best from me . I mentor kids in my home town .

Listener Relevance Connection:

  1. The mission of my task according few key ideas.
  2. Protecting children’s rights helping them with their self esteem
  3. Expanding children opportunities to enable them to attain their full potential.
  4. Establishment of children’s rights enduring the ethical principles and world wide standards of conduct to children.
  5. Tell the “story” of your service experience. This story should be the basis of your analysis in the next main point, so be sure to share specific examples.
  6. Children in many parts of the thanked children by helping them keep learning during the COVID-19 pandemic and find way to build them up.
  7. Climatic crisis, civil conflicts, and COVID_19 pose huge threats to health amongst children and women.
  8. Children from small town less fortunate and bring about a lot of potential.
  9. Explain how your specific service work helped support the organization’s mission.
  10. Working with its these children geared toward self condient attaining sustainable development goals that have been adopted by the communities and realizing peace vision and social progress that is enshrined and highlighted in the community.
  11. Volunteering in activities that promote children-oriented goals. These include play, which is a cognitive, social, and physical-emotional child’s well-being.
  12. Engaging in creative projects such as cut and glue with children. Scissors activity ensures that all children take a little time to learn and an essential motor skill.

Transition:

Let’s now talk about the communication principles that are applied in the communication.

  1. Main Point Two: There are a communication principle and two communication concepts connected to my service story.

Listener Relevance Connection:

  1. The relevant communication principle is completeness_
  2. The definition, according to (Mackay 1993,) is a principle suggesting that communication should be complete enough to avoid confusion in the minds of the audience.
  3. An example from my service that illustrates this principle is responding to all questions that have been inquired. I had to note all the inquiries and responding to all
  4. The first communication concept
  5. The definition, according to Chaturvedi (2011), is getting at your goal from the outset. It is key to an effective strategy of communication.
  6. An example from my service that illustrates this concept was situating my communication objectives with the audience big picture to make it feel more confident with my speech and the integrated motivation
  7. My example illustrates the definition because I set the desired outcome from the start to make the preceding development of my strategy more efficiently and effectively, considering what I hope to achieve.
  8. The second communication concept is to become acquainted with my audience.
  9. The definition, according to (Albers 2012), is determining ultimate strategic goals. It is of importance to have an understanding of the needs of the audience.
  10. An example from my service that illustrates this concept is not aligning my audience’s interest with mine.
  11. My example illustrates the definition because my audience’s knowledge allowed me to tailor my strategy following their demands. It increases the possibility of taking notice of the service I am trying to explain.

Transition:

After concluding on the main concepts of communication, lets now look at the improvements that could be made.

III. Main Point Three: Based on my service experience, I can use communication concepts and ethical implications to improve my communication and improve my community.

Listener Relevance Connection:

  1. One communication concept I could use to improve my communication would be engaging my audience with an emotional connection.
  2. The definition, according to Newlyn (2003), is building a connection with the audience by appealing to their sense of humanity.
  3. I chose this concept based on my service experience because it is an essay to tell my story on a related perspective while communicating in a mode that portrays emotional feedback from the audience.
  4. I can use this concept to improve my communication by repeatedly investing my speech on issues that, when the audience hears, they will have an emotional connection.
  5. An ethical implication I could use to improve my community would be _transparency_.
  6. The definition, according to O’neill (2006), is being honest with my actions one is taking. Also is the tendency of an organization to be visible on the actions it carries out and if the actions are consistent with the stated values.
  7. I chose this implication based on my service experience because honesty in our organization will make it operate in a way that develops openness to create a trust that contributes to a successful organization
  8. I can use this implication to improve my community by leaving the community with a feeling of being valued. It will enable them to be creative and share their inputs.

Transition:

Having pointed out the communication concepts and the improvements to society, I wish to conclude.

Conclusion

My organization has the mandate to advocate for the protection and safeguarding of children helping them meet their needs while expanding their opportunities to attain maximum potential.

  1. Summarize main points:

My  aims to mobilize relevant resources to provide aid, particularly in the small town, while ensuring a first call for children to help with bullying that will enable the delivery of services to them and their families.

  • Clincher:

My project will continue working in my community  to reach vulnerable children. Our main aim is to work for every child to build a great future for all.

What is the best or worst group experience you have ever had? 

/in /by

Explain one of the primary causes of the problem
Describe one of the primary effects of the problem
List one of the potential criteria for your group’s solution
Even though you are only posting one of each of these items, you might elaborate on your choices, providing your reasoning for each in 2-3 sentences.
The goal is to brainstorm various reasons for the problem, describe multiple effects, and establish competing criteria for your solutions so that the group looks at the situation from myriad angles.

In the “Brainstorm Possible Solutions” portion of the assignment, students should post three possible solutions to the problem, and provide a rationale for each one.
Our goal in this step is to produce as many solutions as possible: the good, the bad, and the ugly, so to speak.
Part two-
Recall a previous or current small group to which you belonged/belong.
Trace the group’s development using the five stages discussed in this module.
Did you experience all the stages? In what order?
Did you stay in some stages more than others?
(Source: Communication in the Real World: An Introduction to Communication Studies)

Part 3-
f the above image describes  your previous experiences with group members in the many groups you’ve likely been a part of (or if it describes YOU), you are not alone. Many people cringe at the thought of group projects and presentations. It is often disconcerting to have to rely on others in the quest for a decent grade, work evaluation, or general positive outcome. Additionally, many of us struggle in group situations, as do those who have to delegate tasks when they would prefer to have a certain level of control.

Understanding how groups interact and learning how to improve group communication skills can mean the difference between a successful group experience and an unsuccessful, unproductive, completely unpleasant experience (from Introduction to Human Communication, Beauchamp).
