Miss Representation (2011)

Links to an external site.

In a society where media is the most persuasive force shaping cultural norms, the collective message that our young women and men overwhelmingly receive is that a womans value and power lie in her youth, beauty, and sexuality, and not in her capacity as a leader. The film interweaves stories from teenage girls with interviews of women leaders in media to give an inside look at how women are portrayed and its negative consequences. Step 2 – Obtain Research

Minimum of 3 published sources, 1 must be a peer-reviewed journal article (This is given to you)

Studies show that the use of these apps is linked to a higher number of sexual partners and a greater likelihood of being diagnosed with STIs (Solis, 2020, p. 234). Without proper education and open discussion, many people are left to learn through experience rather than guidance, which can lead to unsafe behaviors. This campaign is necessary to normalize conversations about LGBTQ+ health, provide inclusive education, and encourage safer, more informed decisions within the community.

This week as you are reading in your text about the news, I’d like you to watch a 1/2 hour local newscast, a 1/2 hour national newscast, and a 1/2 hour of cable news. That’s a total of 90 min of news. I’d like you to analyze each newscast.

Please give the name of each newscast, channel, time and date you watched. Number your answers.

Then proceed to answer each of the following questions about each newscast.

1. Was there a bias or opinion in the reporting or was it strictly factual? Explain and give specific examples.

2. Were there obvious questions a viewer might have about a story that went unanswered?

3. Were any stories sensationalized (media hype)?

4. Did you see any examples of fear tactics being used to entice viewership or scare the viewer unnecessarily? Meaning, the information is not necessarily factual. Think back to the article you read titled “The Media Scares Us and We Like It.”

5. What newscast did you enjoy most (local, national, or cable)?

Just in case you need help knowing the difference between local/national/cable news: local news is something like NBC 7 San Diego. National news is like CBS World News Tonight. Cable news would include FOX News, MSNBC, CNN etc…

The subject I choice is: Nonverbal Communication (NV) Importance of NV

Student Example DO NOT Copy

My choice of topic for this group presentation is nonverbal communication, guiding your mind to types of communication that I can use to help me communicate with people and future career goals. This topic is important for close relationships because it can be used to express people’s feelings, knowing how they feel in a situation, while communicating with them. In a relationship, nonverbal communication is important to notice facial expressions and body language to know what’s wrong with your partner, and emotionally show that they care by hugging and comforting them. In a friendship, nonverbal communication is important because listening to them when they are expressing their feelings and being supported. There is a huge negative part of nonverbal communication when you are trying to talk to someone, and they are not listening to you forced on other things like a phone or being distracted, which is rude when you are opening up to someone. One challenge in nonverbal communication is that someone misunderstands you because they don’t know how you’re feeling and ignores the fact that you are going through something. This happens a lot in relationships when your partner is ignoring what you’re going through and is forced on the phone or doing other things, which makes it hard in a relationship. Also, when someone is not making eye contact with you when you are speaking, it’s clear they are not interested in what you are saying, which makes you feel unheard. There shows that someone does not care about what you’re saying, which means there is no communication happening. The solution to this problem is nonverbal communication used in a good way by making people feel heard when they are talking, and not ignoring them or distracting yourself from them.

Another Student Example DO NOT Copy

As my topic for the group presentation, I picked non-verbal communication in relationships, including the link to the psychological side, and less direct aspects of communication, such as the intuitive and dream sides of relationships. My choice was inspired by my own realization that there are many cases of communication in life that do not involve using words. Sometimes the things that matter the most in our lives remain unspoken. In terms of friends, relatives, relations, or even workplace communication, people may pay more attention to how things are done rather than what is being communicated. As in most cases, I myself would often withdraw from people because of not being emotionally available to them, nd portraying the attitude that I simply do not care because all I want is space and comfort. However, emotions usually leave reality behind and enter our dream worlds or intuitive mind. On occasions, my emotions would not even find themselves staying confined within the borders of reality and would enter my dream worlds or intuit my future actions. The second situation is misreading of non-verbal and internal cues in times of confusion regarding one’s emotions or identity. Individuals may become trapped in their own selves or in a vicious circle of thoughts, or simply fail to understand their own emotions. As suggested by Adler et al., building self-awareness and validating one’s perceptions through discussion might work. In order to escape from these types of situations, an individual needs to take a pause, validate his or her observations, and make assumptions based on what he or she observed. Nonetheless, yet another aspect connected with this difficulty is emotional imbalance between partners who are trying to help each other improve psychologically and emotionally. At the moment when one person strives to assist the other, he/she might be struggling with his/her own problems that remain unnoticed by the other party. This results in an inability to continue doing it because the level of one’s emotional resources decreases under the influence of ongoing negative emotions and the inability to motivate oneself. This could inadvertently create a sense of distance, misunderstanding, and the gradual erosion of their relationship. It is also lonely when the ones whom you depend on to be supportive are not around to offer that same level of support, placing an added emotional burden when the going gets tough. Sometimes, in spite of being loved and cared for, the relationships simply fade away, not because there is any lack of care but because both individuals are fighting battles within themselves, leaving them with nothing to offer each other.

Project Step 4: Health Problem Intervention.

Project Step4Health Problem Intervention

Overview

The semester long project is designed to help integrate the concepts in each module. Last module, you found the determinants of your health problem. This week, you will use your epidemiologic research about the distribution and determinants of your health problem.

This week the topic is: Designing a simple intervention for your chosen health problem paying specific attention to targeting it to your population where they live, work and play.

Now for the fun part! Design an intervention that addresses the BEHAVIOR CHANGE you need to address your problem.

Key Takeaways:

Make sure to address the population and that the intervention is focused to them.

You MUST use the data you collected!

You MUST address the determinants you found. For example, if you learned your problem is more common in urban women, make sure your campaign is focused to them.

DO NOT have an intervention that is huge. DO NOT offer free medical care, that is NOT public health.

Instead, a simple advertising or awareness campaign. A simple community screening program. A simple fitness group. A simple way to persuade the community to vote for your policy.

Include what the incentive is for people to come.

Practical and Not So Practical Examples

Check these out to do your best. These ideas are big on heart but not sustainable or practical. See how to to adapt them to make feasible ideas and easier homework! Click to see good grade examples and “try again” examples! HINT: I have ideas here you can use. Just adjust it to meet your population where they live, work and play.

Special Details for the Intervention Step

Here is some help:

1.Think about education alone programs. Does anyone really listen to just education? I could tell you all to go for a run tomorrow because it is good for you and most of you wont, right? How are you getting these people to even log on to or attend these educational programs? We learned so much this week on motivation and culture so put it in your work. Do not just do a class or an app. Those already exist. Incentivize and MOTIVATE your people!!

2.You cant have interventions just to improve MEDICAL care or give free medical care. Public health is the disaster that does not happen! We want to stop behaviors, we want to change behaviors, not treat disease. We must motivate.

3.Consider SDoH of your populations-use Cultural Humility!!. Low SDoH populations may not log into the web to search a topic. They may not use social media. We have to capture and engage our audience a little more where they live, work and play. If you have an ethnic group or race, think of how you can use their patterns and culture to impact change. Low SES women? How about ads and links in WIC payments pages with a lottery to win a box of diapers? Is your group children? Kids need FUN! Have some incentive in there!

4.Do not pitch lots of ideas. I’d rather see one well coordinated idea. How about getting an egg company (or a place like McDonalds) to team up with a helmet company to do head trauma awareness and give discounts on helmets as incentive? Keep it simple. Fitness? How about a fun run? Obestity? Dont do a class on healthy food. That is boring. Have cooking classes and giveaway food at the end!

5.Motivate!!!! Make your interventions to one that would motivate YOU or your family. Convincing kids to stay in school with a lecture-BORING. Making a fun poster that shows how much more money you make with every year of school is more likely to motivate a teen than a lecture. Motivation can be free- it can just be empowering.

1. Your program MUST consider your determinants and target a population that you are focusing on. The key here is ALL research should all relate! Dont tell me the problem is urban, black males and have a class. It Wont be effective and they wont go (this is true for any race teen!)! Or if it is middle age women with diabetes, dont have a social media campaign. You MUST show me you are considering what you learned about your problem. Find what may interest your Population. Meet them where they live, work and play.

1.8 How to stay motivated in an online class (Graded Discussion) – Group 2

Studying and the overjustification effect

How do you motivate yourself to study? Do you think about how studying will lead to a better grade? Or is the challenge of mastering new material enough to keep you going? The overjustification effect predicts that if a student focuses on studying in order to get good grades (extrinsic motivation), rather than on studying for the satisfaction of learning and mastering new information (intrinsic motivation) that student might discount the intrinsic reasons for studying, and study only in order to get good grades. Before submitting your response, make sure to watch the video on the overjustification effect in

Instructions:

1. In your own words, respond to the following prompt. For full credit, you need to respond to all four parts of the prompt, writing at least two or three sentences for each question, and showing that you can apply the idea to your specific personal circumstances.

• What is the greatest extrinsic motivation that you have for studying for this class? Do you think this motivation will be effective in getting you to study for the duration of the semester?
• Based on what you learned in the video, explain the overjustification effect and discuss whether or not you think the extrinsic motivation that you are using for this class might lead to the overjustification effect.
• Think of a time when you were intrinsically motivated to study and explain you felt an intrinsic motivation in that particular situation.
• Discuss at least one way to make sure that you avoid the overjustification effect when studying for this class. Be specific about what steps you would take (what might you say, or think, or do?)

1. Review the information inthen reply to at least two classmates posts. Your reply should include at least one of the following. Respond to the prompt by Thursday 4/16, replies need to be posted by Sunday, 4/19

• a comment about how your classmate’s strategy is similar to or different from yours.
• a suggestion for staying motivated that is based on information from
• a question about their post or an answer to a question that they have raised

Grading policies

• You are expected to post your initial response to a discussion board prompt by the due date indicated on each discussion board. Late submissions will not receive credit unless you have a valid, documented reason for missing the due date.
• You are also expected to reply to at least two postson the discussion board by Sunday, 4/19. These replies are part of the assignment. You will not receive full credit for the assignment unless you have a meaningful reply to at least two posts.
• Making a submission that is substantially copied from an outside source without acknowledging the source is plagiarism. This is a violation of the student code of conduct. You will receive a zero for the assignment and may face other consequences, depending on the severity of the violation. The syllabus describes in detail the consequences for plagiarism.
• After the discussion board is completed (day of the unit test) I will assign grades for the discussion boards based on your initial posts and any corrections that you have made based on feedback from others in the class (me or other students).

Many people want to feel closer to God, but arent always sure how to start. The truth is, getting closer to God doesnt require perfectionit starts with small, honest steps. This book is a simple guide to help you build a real and personal connection with God in your daily life.God is not distant or unreachable. He cares about you, knows you, and wants a relationship with you. Think of it less like a strict rule system and more like a connection built on trust, honesty, and love.

You dont need to have it all together to come to God. You just need to be willing.Prayer is simply talking to God. You dont need special words or perfect sentences.

Try this simple structure:

• Thank God for something
• Talk about your day
• Ask for help or guidance
• Be honest about your feelings

You can pray anytimemorning, night, or even quietly in your thoughts.Reading holy texts (like the Bible) helps you understand Gods message and character.

Start small:

• Read a few verses a day
• Reflect on what they mean
• Ask yourself how they apply to your life

Consistency matters more than quantity. Getting closer to God also means trying to live in a way that reflects goodness.

This includes:

• Being kind to others
• Telling the truth
• Helping those in need
• Choosing what is right, even when its hard

Your actions can strengthen your connection with God.Its normal to have questions or doubts. Faith doesnt mean never questioningit means continuing to seek.Small daily habits can make a big difference:Sometimes things dont happen the way you want. Trusting God means believing there is a bigger plan, even when you dont understand it yet.

Patience is part of faith.

• Spend a few minutes in silence
• Write your thoughts in a journal
• Practice gratitude
• Avoid things that pull you away from your values

You dont need to be perfectjust consistent.

When you feel unsure:

• Keep praying
• Keep learning
• Talk to someone you trust

Doubt can actually help your faith grow stronger.
