3 pages double space size 12

you have three choice pick one topic

For Reflective Project #3, you may choose one of the following three options. Please ensure that your paper is around 3 pages, double-spaced, with a heading (your name, course info, etc.) and a creative title. Remember that you must utilize ideas and concepts from the textbook, class lectures and discussions to illustrate your point, so the prompt that you choose to write about must reference any of those corresponding chapters, lectures, discussions, and/or activities. Lastly, factors such as spelling, punctuation, and grammar certainly count towards your reflection paper grade, so be sure to edit your paper beforehand.

Below are the three prompts that you may choose (one) to write about:

1) Sexual Orientation: Outline both the Kinsey model of sexual orientation and the Klein model of sexual orientation (Chapter 12). What is similar? What is different? If you’ve reviewed these two models to see where you may lie, discuss your results if you are willing. Were you surprised by your results? Why or why not? You may also discuss this in more vague terms–what do you think of these models? For your review, both of these models can be viewed via PDF under this week’s module.

Then, discuss some key points related to the issue of maintaining sex and gender binaries (male/female and masculinity/femininity) in society. Why are they problematic? In what ways do they influence a skewed understanding of the terms “sex” and “gender,” as well as conformity to particular sexual orientation(s)? Be sure to illustrate your answer with explanations from the text, our lectures and/or other cited research.

-OR-

2) Marriage and Family: Many Americans claim to believe that “love is blind” and that romance can spring up anywhere, as long as two people have chemistry. Chapter 14, however, argues that Cupid’s arrow is largely aimed by society. What social factors play into the mate selection process? Explain.

Then, watch the documentary/biography “Meet the Patels” (it’s currently on Netflix: http://www.netflixreleases.com/meet-the-patels-2014/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.), and be sure to discuss the how what Ravi Patel is going through relates to the concepts presented in the text for this chapter.

Lastly, examine your own relationships (past, present, anticipated future, etc.) and discuss how these social factors influenced your own mate selection. Do you see any patterns in the people you tend to date and/or the circumstances? Describe these phenomena from your life in sociological terms from the text.

3) Marriage and Family – alternate, if you can’t find the documentary above: Many Americans claim to believe that “love is blind” and that romance can spring up anywhere, as long as two people have chemistry. Chapter 14, however, argues that Cupid’s arrow is largely aimed by society. What social factors play into the mate selection process? Explain.

Then, do some research on how other societies view and practice love and marriage, particularly within bi-cultural families, such as those who immigrated to the US in recent generations and are attempting to juggle a fine balance between customs in the US, and those of their native countries. Be sure to relate how some of these phenomena relate to the concepts presented in the text for this chapter, and remember to include citations to your sources within your paper, and at the end via a Works Cited or Bibliography.

Lastly, examine your own relationships (past, present, anticipated future, etc.) and discuss how these social factors influenced your own mate selection. Do you see any patterns in the people you tend to date and/or the circumstances? Describe these phenomena from your life in sociological terms from the text.

Before beginning the Discussion Board, be sure to view the supplemental Web Link Banksy Does New York. You may have to log on to youtube as according to youtube rules, it is intended for mature audiences.

Be sure to remember the Discussion Board deadline. The link will no longer be available when the Discussion Board is due.

Discussion Questions:

Which piece of Banksy art in New York struck you the strongest? Tell us why.

Do you think many of the viewers understood the topic that Banksy put forth for us to ponder in the artwork that you chose? What does this display and others in New York reveal about America?

What are some of your thoughts with regards to the Banksy Art Chasers?

Instructions:

Your Discussion Board experience will come in two parts:

Part 1: Post your thoughts to the specific questions that have been provided in a short essay format.

Part 2: Respond to a minimum of two other student Posts.

Points will be distributed in this manner: Your initial Post can earn you up to 10 points, and each response is worth 5 points max. Maximum points is 20. Extraordinary posts and responses will be rewarded with extra points, making totals larger than 20, but no more than 24 points. Poor spelling and grammar will result in the loss of points.

*The purpose of this exercise is to promote critical thinking. Be sure to provide detailed and supportive answers. One word answers like “cool, awesome, lol” are not sufficient.You will be graded on the quality of your posts and responses. Failure to respond to at least 2 posts will cost you points. Be mindful and polite to one another, and more importantly, be creative and have fun.

(I will send you the two student post and you will reply for them and I will post it after you finish this)

I need a post for each learning activity. APA format. Attached is the diagram for Learning Activity #2 and Chapter 1 to use for references. I will also include this link that can be used for resources as well. (https://insights.ethisphere.com/culture-the-key-to-corporate-governance/). I am pretty sure this is the citation for the CHAPTER 1 DOC, (The Business Ethics Workshop (2012) Washington, DC: The Saylor Foundation). I need each post to be roughly 3 paragraphs or more.

Learning Activity #1

Ethics: A Personal Perspective

How we perceive ethical issues and how we expect others to act is in many respects a reflection of our personal views. Considering the importance of our internal views of ethics, think about the following scenario:

You have been recently hired in the human resources department at the company you have always dreamed of working for. At the end of your first day, your manager, I. M. DeBoss, on her way out of the office says to you: “So Mr./Ms. Jones, what things come to mind when you think of the word “ethics”? Before you can answer, she asks you if you believe ethics are important for a company, and if so, why do you feel that way? Not letting up, because she is DeBoss, she then tells you that she once had a conversation with someone who mentioned that ethics might be a reflection of the culture of a business, but she has no idea what this means. She asks if you could help her understand the connection between ethics and a company’s culture.

Just as you are about to respond to her, she says “I am sorry Mr./Ms. Jones I really have to run, but I want to continue our conversation tomorrow.” You are relieved because you will have a night to ponder her questions and wow her with your responses tomorrow. How would you respond to your manager? Be certain to include in your response for Ms. DeBoss a definition of business ethics.

Learning Activity #2

Stakeholders: Neglect At Your Peril

Using the diagram from “The Firm’s Stakeholders” resource for the week, choose and discuss the three stakeholders you consider the most important for a business. In your response, discuss why you believe the chosen three are the most important, how does the business cultivate its relationship with the stakeholders selected, and to what extent is a business’s ethical culture reflected in its relationship with the stakeholders selected. Be sure to include a definition of stakeholders in your response.

Copying and pasting all of the instructions I was given:

For this paper, please think about an interpersonal relationship you are currently in (such as a friendship, romantic relationship, work relationship, family relationship, etc.). You will analyze your relationship using the interpersonal communication theories, concepts, and skills we have learned about throughout the semester. In your paper, you will discuss a relational conflict or challenge (such as an argument, transgression, break-up, etc.). Please analyze your relationship and the conflict by applying at least two theories, two concepts, and two skills using any of the chapters from our textbook. When applying the skills, think about what skill you used or could have used to effectively manage the conflict (for example: perception-checking statements, assertive “I” statements, self-monitoring, etc.).

You will also need to cite one library source for this paper. Your book should be used for the majority of the paper, but at least one library source is also required (such as a book or journal article). Make sure you cite your library source at the end of your paper (bibliography) and within the paper (in-text or parenthetical citation) in MLA or APA format.

Include the following in your paper:

• Brief description of the relationship you chose to write about
• Brief description of the relational conflict/challenge you faced in this relationship
• Application of 2 theories from any chapters in the book
• Application of 2 concepts from any chapters in the book
• Application of 2 skills from any chapters in the book
• Application and citation of 1 library source (book or journal article)

Your final paper should be 4 pages, typed, double-spaced, size 12 font, with one inch margins all around, and in essay format. DO NOT just list answers (it should be in essay format).

Below are some theories you can use in your Final Project Paper. Some of them are not labeled as theories in your textbook, which is why this list is being provided for you. This list is definitely not exhaustive, so you can use any other communication studies theories that you find in our textbook or in your library research. Hope this helps!

• Standpoint theory
• Social comparison theory
• Social penetration theory
• Relational dialectics theory
• Reflected appraisal theory
• Social exchange theory
• Uncertainty reduction theory
• Coordinated management of meaning theory
• Communication privacy management theory
• Attribution theory
• Expectancy violations theory
• Triangular theory of love

Hint: Skills are anything that you can use/practice to make communication more effective. Some examples include: self-monitoring, perception-checking statements, assertive “I” statements, conflict management, empathy, etc.

Everything else in your textbook that is not a theory and not a skill is a Concept. Examples include: nonverbal communication (proxemics, eye contact, touch, etc.), high vs low context communication, poor listening habits, common tendencies in perception, emotive language, emotional contagion, conflict styles, etc.

Lastly, I’m an 18 year old male student so please keep that in mind and do not write about a relationship with a child/spouse or anything that would not be normal for an 18 year old to have. I have two older brothers and an older sister so discussing a sibling could work.
