Tony lives with his wife, Shirley, and two children (a boy at age 5 and a girl at 7).  The couple purchased their 4-room flat shortly after they were married, and they put a great deal into what Tony calls their ‘dream house’.

Since giving birth to the younger son, Shirley has quit her job as an account clerk. She stays at home as a full-time wife and mother. Shocked by the news that her husband has lost his job, the idea of returning to the workforce has surfaced in her mind. Tony disagrees to her idea as he is concerned about the schooling and caring for the children.

One day Shirley passed by a Career Connects career center.  She decided to take a bold step. She walked in wanting to talk to someone and to find out if there are any useful services, information, and resource.

Refer to Case: Shirley Ng. You are the career coach at the career center.  How would you intervene and help if you were to work with Shirley? What has happened to her? Apply no more than two (2) models or theories only for conceptualization of the case and suggest practical steps you would help Shirley to address her career concerns and guide her.

Write a brief analysis essay, taking a record apart and showing how its pieces work together to create a unique effect. Mix and match observations regarding musical and lyrical voice, characterization, point of view, imagery, structure, setting or theme.

The Assignment: Write a brief analysis essay, taking a record apart and showing how its pieces work together to create a unique effect. Mix and match observations regarding musical and lyrical voice, characterization, point of view, imagery, structure, setting or theme, but be sure to illustrate each clearly and show how they work together in a precise way. Seek to offer a thesis or central focus that shows how this analysis deepens your understanding of the record as a whole. Your essay will be evaluated based upon the strength of the central focus (its significance, originality and insight) as well as your effective use of specific support to clearly reveal this focus.

It’s probably useful to caution you against spreading yourself too thin. If you focused simply on three different aspects of the structure of the record or three different sonic images, you might have more success diving deep into the record than someone who tries to cover a wide range of observations. Small things can be used to draw large, precise conclusions, while too many large points can lead to simplistic, general observations.

Select a current piece of pop culture – a TV show or series, a film, a song, video, etc. – and discuss its influence on the identity of a particular individual or group.Does this pop culture work reinforce or challenge ideas or stereotypes about this individual or group?

/in /by

This week we have read selections that discuss the influence of media, society, and culture and a variety of significant issues. For this paper, you have two options:

 

  1. Follow one particular story in the news media throughout a 2-week time period, taking a close look at how the reporting may have changed throughout that time. Argue for how the coverage of the story has impacted the event itself. How is the identity of those included in the story or reading/seeing the coverage changed? Through words/catchphrases? Through pictures? Through music? What is the outcome? Is someone’s identity changed? Is the nation changed? Remember you are not reporting on the event; your reader will most likely be generally familiar with the event you’re discussing. You are arguing for how the reporting and coverage of the event has changed the identity of someone in particular, analyzing a particular aspect of the reporting/coverage. Again, a specific connection and thesis is crucial here: the more specific your connection, the more in depth your analysis and argument will be, and the more interesting your entire paper will become.

 

  1. Select a current piece of pop culture – a TV show or series, a film, a song, video, etc. – and discuss its influence on the identity of a particular individual or group. For an example, consider Steinem’s essay “Wonder Woman.” Does this pop culture work reinforce or challenge ideas or stereotypes about this individual or group? How does it fit into a larger body of work about this particular individual or group? You will want to be specific in your selection (i.e., you might want to select a few episodes of a TV series rather than the entire series); consider discussing a specific character from a film or the setting, a particular scene, etc. Make sure you select a work that provides some depth and complexity; this doesn’t mean that it has to be “high” art, only that it will provide opportunities for a complex analysis.
