EXAMPLE

My audience are job-seeking professionals who want to understand how to better market themselves for obtaining their dream jobs. The purpose is to demonstrate the importance of communication skills in the modern marketplace.

Three questions my audience will have about this topic that I will need to answer are (1) what are the most important skills desired by all employers, (2) how do I develop these skills, and (3) how do I show that I have these skills in my application?

The following professional sources will help answer these questions:

Fajaryati, N., Budiyono, A., Akhyar, M., & Wirano, G. (2020). The employability skills needed to face the demands of the future: Systematic literature reviews. Open Engineering, 10(2): 595-603.

Your essay is designed to increase your understanding of nonverbal communication in different cultures. For this 3-4 page essay, you should choose 2 cultures and evaluate the nonverbal communication using your textbook.

Make sure to include terminology and theory connections to describe the specific interaction and/or relationship.

Locate an image you believe is meant to get to get people to feel something or do something. This could be an image you encountered in your own life. It could be a historical image, a photo a friend took, even an icon or emoji. If you need help finding an image, visit Lesson 7 and scroll to the section entitled “2. Where Do I Find the Images?” This has lists of various types of image repositories, including archival. Use the concepts you’ve read about in the last five weeks to analyze the image in terms of its persuasive appeal and compliance with ethical standards. Write a 23-page paper entitled [yourname]_Assignment_3 telling us the following: Who produced the image? Where did you find it (i.e., a magazine, a website)? Who do you think is the intended audience, and why? Describe the audience in terms of culture, demographics (who they are), and psychographics (how they feel). What do you think the image creator is trying to get the audience to do or feel? How do you know? What characteristics of the image (principles, composition, color, perspective, staging, framing, use of light and dark, use of symbolism, etc.) made it persuasive? List at least three characteristics. Do you believe the image was manipulated (altered) in any way? If so, how and to what end? Do you think the image is propaganda? Why or why not? Was it ethical to produce this image? Was it ethical as used in the context where you found it? Why or why not? Your paper should be formatted as follows: in APA style double-spaced in Calibri 11-point font (or equivalent) Use at least three sources (course readings or outside research), with citations and references formatted in APA style. Also cite the image you found in APA style.
