Perspective narrative paper

Approximately 400 words that picks a debate within the feminist community and lay out each side’s argument. Divide the assignment into 2 sections—dedicate the 300 words to each side of the argument. You may pick from the following:

 

1. Porn: Empowerment or Objectification
2. Islamic Veiling and Unveiling: Liberating or Oppressive
3. Beyoncé: Feminist Icon or Anti-feminist
4. Marriage: Apart of a patriarchal system or right for all
5. Breast Feeding in Public or Private
6. A topic of your choice that must get approval by your GA

 

These topics have not been answered easily by feminists and therefore have created large debates. You must support your arguments by using at least TWO (2) course readings and any outside readings, blogs, et cetera that you find (but MUST cited). In the concluding paragraph, briefly explain which side of the argument you fall more within and why.

summary of strategic public relations plan

Using the first deliverable as a foundation, students will write a 12-page (give or take) summary of their public relations plan.  Plan elements should reflect research findings and/or public relations/communication theory.  Plan elements shall include:

• The definition of macro-level campaign goal(s): Specify at least one overarching goal for your plan (e.g., “The American Heart Association seeks to educate people about the importance of pro-actively taking care of their heart health.”).  Your goal should be broad without being too broad (e.g., AHA wants everyone to have a healthy heart) while still telegraphing a direction for related communication efforts.
• The identification of three target publics affected by this situation: Address audiences in strategic terms (e.g., in order of importance to the organization or those most greatly affected by the situation). Provide general demographic descriptions of each audience (e.g., age, sex, race, income levels, education, political affiliations, etc.), assuming this information is relevant to the situation.  The U.S. Census Bureau’s website may be helpful for that.  Also, identify news media habits of audiences and effective channels to communicate with them.  A good place to start would be the Pew Research Center website.  Remember to take into account changing media habits in this country (e.g., decreasing newspaper readership, increasing use of social media).  You can generalize to a certain extent; to wit, one could rightly assume that a reader of The New York Times is more likely to skew left politically than a reader of The New York Post.
• The articulation of objective(s): Objectives must correspond to your campaign goal and your target public(s).  State objectives in realistic and measurable terms.  For example, don’t just say that you hope to “raise public awareness” about an issue; instead, quantify the amount or percent of change you hope to achieve (e.g., “Raise awareness of issue X among <TARGET PUBLIC> by 25 percent by <DATE>.”).
• The outlining of strategies for achieving each objective: The strategy is reflective of your overarching goal (so it’s kind of like a goal itself), but it involves the process for how you will go about achieving that goal.  Objectives are mid-term goals that give direction to your strategy.  Also, relate your strategy to your organizational objectives but keep it focused on the self-interests of your audiences. Sample strategies might be “a media relations strategy using paid traditional media,” or “a community outreach strategy using opinion leaders in the community,” or “a government relations strategy using grassroots mobilization,” and so forth.  Of course any of these strategies would require more elaborate explanation, but that’s what this part of your deliverable is for!  This section should include key messages and/or a description of a campaign theme.
• An explanation of tactics to execute each strategy: Tactics are short-term activities that help achieve objectives by putting your strategies into action.  You must present your ideas for at least three different tactics.  Please read ahead to the guidelines for the Sample Tactical Elements deliverable.  The tactics you submit for that deliverable must match what you discuss here in this deliverable.

1. Jane is faced with two choices: A Porsche costs $60,000 giving her an additional 1200 units of utility and a mountain bike costs $800 giving her an additional 20 units of utility. Rational choice theory would predict that she would choose A) the Porsche. B) the mountain bike. C) It is impossible to choose because the goods have different prices. D) It is impossible to predict since there is not enough information provided. 2. A meal at Burger King costs $4.00 giving you an additional 5 units of utility; a meal at Middlebury Inn costs $20.00 giving you an additional 30 units of utility. According to the theory of rational choice: A) you should eat at Burger King. B) you should eat at the Middlebury Inn. C) you would be indifferent between eating at Burger King or eating at the Middlebury Inn. D) you would eat at Burger King since it is cheaper. 3. To make a choice among combinations of goods with a cost in money, based upon the principle of rational choice, one need not know: A) the total utility of the combination of goods. B) the marginal utility of each good. C) the price of each good. D) any of the above. 4. Economists assume that consumers will choose to purchase and consume the good that: A) costs the least. B) is of the highest quality. C) gives them the greatest additional satisfaction. D) gives them the highest marginal utility per dollar. 5. Which of the following four choices would a rational individual most likely choose? A) go to a movie that costs $5 and gives her 50 units of utility. B) go out to eat, which costs $20 and gives her 300 units of utility. C) go to an opera that costs $30 and gives her 480 units of utility. D) go to an amusement park that costs $25 and gives her 100 units of utility. 6. Goods X and Y both give the same marginal utility but good X costs $3 and good Y $2. You should A) consume more of good X and less of good Y. B) keep consuming the current amounts of both good X and good Y. C) consume more of good Y and less of good X. D) realize that you don’t have enough information to answer the question. 7. Total utility is maximized when: A) marginal utility per dollar spent is the same for all goods. B) total utility for each good is identical to its price. C) total utility per dollar spent is the same for all goods. D) the marginal utility is the same for each item purchased. 8. Diminishing marginal utility explains the law of: A) supply. B) demand. C) comparative advantage. D) production 9. Dennis is deciding where to spend his spring break. If he goes to Vail, Colorado, the trip will give him 10,000 units of utility (satisfaction) and will cost him $500. If, instead, he travels to Padre Island, Texas, the trip will give him 6000 units of utility and will cost him $400. Dennis should go to: A) Vail because his total pleasure would be greater. B) Padre Island because it is cheaper. C) Vail because his pleasure per dollar spent will be greater. D) Padre Island because his pleasure per dollar spent will be greater. 10. Water costs less than diamonds because: A) the total utility of diamonds is greater than the total utility of water. B) the opportunity cost of diamonds is greater than the opportunity cost of water. C) the marginal utility of diamonds is greater than the marginal utility of water. D) diamonds have more substitutes than water.

ElectriGov is a government agency whose mission is to supply electric power to various locations in the United States.

Case One: ElectriGov
ElectriGov is a government agency whose mission is to supply electric power to various locations in the United States. To accomplish this task, the organization has three line crews of five to ten men whose job it is to install high-voltage power lines. Each crew is highly cohesive, led by a foreman. Moreover, crew members have worked together for many years and have an established pattern for doing their work and solving problems. The work is hard, dirty, and dangerous. Almost all of the men have had a friend who has been seriously injured or killed while on the job.
The crews typically work independently, but when there are large projects to complete, they must work together. This can create serious conflicts, since the crews often don’t agree with each other’s approaches to organizing and managing a particular job, and none of the three foremen wants to be subservient to the others. Thus when line crews do large projects together, they tend to compete with one another rather than cooperate. On one project, the conflict became so nasty that one crew failed to inform another crew that the wires were hot at a certain section of the project. The serious safety breach was reported to senior management, who immediately launched an investigation. We, as consultants, were initially asked to serve as part of the team investigating the causes of the safety violations.
After the initial investigation, we were asked by ElectriGov’s senior management to “clean up the conflicts” between the crews. The approach we used to help the crews reduce their conflicts was a variation on design A. All three crews were brought together in one room, and the need for an interteam development program was discussed. Each crew was asked to commit to solving the conflicts between themselves and the other crews and to agree to give the program a chance. Once we had their agreement, each crew was then asked to meet separately to list their perceptions of the other crews and the specific problems that they had in working with the others. After meeting separately, the teams came back together and each reported its perceptions of the other crews.
In our consulting role, we facilitated the discussion, making sure that each crew’s perceptions were made clear and that each crew described the problematic behaviors of the other crews in concrete, specific terms. As a ground rule, crews were asked to be descriptive and to avoid using emotionally laden language when critiquing the other crews. After each crew presented its perceptions, the other crews could ask questions to clarify points, but crews were not allowed to debate the validity of the other crews’ perceptions.
After each crew aired its views, the crews, together in an open session, were then asked to come up with recommendations to improve the relationships. Their suggestions were listed on large poster boards in the room. The crews discussed how they might do more advanced planning on the larger projects to determine who would do what and who would be in charge of the project. They also considered rotating crew members to improve relationships between crews. Most important, the crews agreed on a common goal; avoiding accidents at all cost.
At the end of this interteam-building session, each crew made a public commitment to change its behavior and implement recommendations. As a result of this intervention, the crews now have a new approach to working with each other on large projects that minimizes the conflicts that they had in the past.

Biological causal factors of anorexia nervosa

eating disorders

Biological causal factors of anorexia nervosa include genetic predisposition, serotonin regulation, and physiologic weight set points. Given the prevalence of this disorder, it seems unlikely that biological causes alone could account for it. Research eating disorders using your textbook and online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following:

Comment on the relative strengths of biological causes compared to sociological or individual causes. Consider the types of anorexia nervosa in your argument.
Explain any treatment strategies that would support your argument.
Does obesity share anything in common with anorexia nervosa? Consider obesity causal factors and whether obesity is truly a mental disorder.
