The target can be a race, a sex, a religion, an ethnicity, or an age group. The joke is conveyed through the use of negative stereotypes. Students can probably name several comedians and radio talk-show hosts who have used this type of humor. They are also likely to be familiar with the bigoted Archie Bunker character in the TV sitcom All in the Family, the four foul-mouthed, wildly politically incorrect third-graders featured in Comedy Centrals South Park cartoon, and with actor Sacha Baron Cohens portrayal of a fictional lecherous, anti-Semitic and racist Kazakh journalist in Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. Please speculate on the effects of such humor. Do they think that this type of humor is a positive indication of how far we have come as a society that we are now able to make fun of the absurd stereotypical beliefs of the past? Do characters like Borat appear so foolish that they cause prejudiced individuals to reject their prejudiced beliefs? Or, do they see negative social consequences to this type of humor? Do the media legitimatize these stereotypes? Does exposure to this sort of humor create a norm of tolerance that allows for the degradation of others and serves to perpetuate prejudice?

Research Paper
This learning experience will complement the material covered through class lectures, assigned readings, and writing. The exploration project focuses on human transformation based on the practical nature of biblical wisdom. This can serve as an aid toward becoming a better person. From biblical point of view, God extends kindness and forgiveness to human beings because they are morally prone to sin. Divine instruction provides guidance for the work of transformation that is communal based. We do not grow by ourselves but in honest relationships with others.
What You Should Do
- Conduct a research online for information about the most effective programs dealing with changing addictive behavior. You will want to learn about the history and philosophy of the sponsoring organization you plan to visit, its objectives and approach, its success rates, etc. This should be done before you attend a group meeting.
- Attend a regular group meeting of a Twelve-Step Program engaged in human transformation such as Alcoholic Anonymous (AA). For a list of organizations see List of twelve-step groups in Wikipedia. The group does not need to be affiliated with Christianity. Your presence at the meeting is obligatory. Be informed that no recording is allowed in the meetings of anonymous groups. In your report you must provide the time, the date, and the address of the meeting which you attended.
- Write a summary of your research (step 1, above), followed by an abbreviated report of what was said and done during the meeting (step 2, above). The results of your research plus the report from the meeting should be 700 or more words in length. Then write your personal reflection of no less than 300 words. Your complete report will total at least 1,000 words. There is no maximum limit to word count. At the end of the report you will provide a list of at least three (3) online and/or published sources used to prepare yourself for the visit. All information used in your report must be acknowledged with quotes enclosed in quotation marks.

Instructions:
Your paper needs to follow the following criteria:
1 Choose a problem faced by clients in your practice area that you think is important and would like to learn more about (Use Activity 1 to identify the problem).
2 Use your knowledge of PICO to develop a well-built narrow clinical question. For example: In adult patients with total hip replacements (P), how effective is pain medication (I) compared to aerobic stretching (C) in controlling post-operative pain (O)? (the development of the PICO question should not be included in the paper) (Use discussion 2 & 3).
3 Write a five (5) to six (6) page literature review paper on the standing knowledge of the chosen question.
4 Include a minimum of five (5) journal articles, at least three (3) from nursing journals. However, make sure that the (5) journals are the ones analyzed and synthesized in the results and discussion sections.
5 The body of the paper should be made of the following titled sections: Title (introduction), Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion.
6 Provide a specific and concise tentative title for your literature review paper (You may use the results or at least the variables in the title).
7 The abstract is not required
8 Include a 1-page introduction of your topic (background information), the focus/aim of your review. The introduction should include a statement of the problem, briefly explain the significance of your topic study, and act to introduce the reader to your definitions and background. Must include your main statement (i.e. the purpose of this review is…{PICO Question}).
9 The method section should include sources, databases, keywords, inclusion/exclusion criteria, levels of evidence, and other information that establishes credibility to your paper (Use discussion 4 & 5).
10 The results should summarize the findings of studies that have been conducted on your topic. For each study, you should briefly explain its purpose, procedure for data collection, and major findings. This is the section where you will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of studies (Use discussion 6 and activity 2).
11 Submit a table of the studies as per the matrix development (see discussion 7).
12 The discussion should be like a conclusion portion of an essay paper. It serves as a summary of the body of your literature review and should highlight the most important findings. Your analysis should help you to draw conclusions. In this section, you would discuss any consensus or disagreement on the topic. It can also include any strengths and weaknesses in general of the research area. If you believe there is more to research, you may include that here.
13 Finally, you will need to conclude your paper. At this point, you have put substantial effort into your paper. Close this chapter with a summary of the paper, major findings, and any major recommendations for the profession.
14 In general, your paper should show a sense of direction and contain a definite central idea supported with evidence. The writing should be logical, and the ideas should be linked together in a logical sequence. The ideas need to be put together clearly for the writer and for the reader.
15 Papers will be graded by rubric. When preparing to work on an assignment it is a good idea to review the rubric for the assignment. The rubric identifies the important points that will be graded as well as the description of the information that should be provided to receive all of the points in each section of the assignment. Reviewing the rubric before you begin a paper and then once again as you complete the paper will give you confidence that you included the required information and will receive maximum points for each section.
