Category: Communications and Media

Part 1 (of two parts due in
Week One) This course is about communication, and this project is about
communication. Take some time to think about challenges you have when
communicating with other people. These difficulties may involve . . . patterns
with strangers or acquaintances. communication aspects with friends.
interactions with family members or colleagues. Here are some examples: Trouble
starting a conversation with someone you have never met. Saying ″no″ when your
friend asks to borrow money. Fear of speaking out during a meeting. Note: all
examples are based on verbal and nonverbal communication challenges. Please
make sure your choices are related to communication challenges you have. Steps
1A – 1E will guide you through the process of narrowing your communication
challenge options in order to select the one challenge you want to address
during Weeks One through Three. 1A. ″I Can′t″ List The 1A list consists of six
communication challenges you face. Under each of the six challenges, you will
write two paragraphs (use the template to organize these six sections). So,
what are your potential challenges? Note: a paragraph is usually a minimum of
four to five sentences. Consider the following: verbal and nonverbal
communication, listening, group communication, and communication across cultures.
Click on and read the sample list below. Then, write and submit the following
for 1A: Challenge 1: Desсrіption: Example: Challenge 2: Desсrіption: Example:
(Continue pattern for all six challenges) Sample list I can′t ask my friends
for favors when I need their help. I can′t discipline my daughter without
becoming angry. I can′t say ″no″ when my boss asks me to work overtime. I can′t
address employees directly or clearly when corrective action is needed. I can′t
stop coming across as sarcastic in my conversations with others. I can′t keep
my staff focused on the discussion at hand during meetings. I can′t accept
constructive criticism without becoming defensive. Sample desсrіption Challenge
1: ″I can′t say no to a family member if he or she asks for my help.″
Desсrіption: Unless I have a really good excuse, I can′t say no when a family
member asks me to do something. Even though I often feel like I am being taken
advantage of, I still feel obligated to help. Our family is very close, and we
do a lot of things for each other, but my family members tend to ask me to do
the things that nobody else wants to do or is willing to do. It has become
expected that I will do the things that others will not. Example: Last week, I
used a vacation day and cancelled personal plans on two separate days to tend
to family business. On Tuesday, I took my grandmother to the doctor for an
outpatient surgical procedure because my mother had an important business
meeting that day. On Saturday, I cancelled a dinner with old friends to look
after my three-year-old niece so that my brother and sister-in-law could
celebrate their anniversary. 1B. ″I Won′t″ List From the six challenges you
recorded in 1A, which ones do you know you could change, but you just “won’t”
change? Only you can determine your emotional commitment to changing the
communication challenges you listed in 1A. So, which ones “won’t” you change?
In 1B, you will decide which of the six from your list in 1A really belong in
the 1B “I Won’t” list. Under each challenge you selected from 1A to put on this
list in 1B, write a paragraph explanation of why it is more accurate to say the
challenge is an “I Won’t” rather than an “I Can’t”. The challenges you put in
1B won’t end up as your 1E challenge because the ″I won′t″ aspect indicates
your unwillingness to actually make a change. 1C. ″I Don′t Know″ List In 1A,
you listed six challenges. In 1B, you acknowledged that some of the six
challenges on the list you won’t be changing right now. So, the rest of the
challenges in your 1A list need to go in your 1C section of “I Don’t Know How”
to change these communication challenges. This course is designed to help you
learn how to address those challenges. Here is an example of a 1A challenge
becoming a 1C challenge: In 1A, you might have written, ″I can′t keep my staff
focused on the discussion at hand during meetings,″ Now, in 1C, you will write,
″I don′t know how to keep my staff focused on the discussion at hand during
meetings.″ You will change out I can’t for I don’t know how! Click on the
Sample Response below. ″I don′t know how to say no to a family member asking
for my help″ might sound strange to some. Of course you know how, you just say
″no.″ In reality, however, saying no may not be that easy, or it may not be
your natural response. In addition, you may not recognize that there is a time
for ″yes″ and a time for ″no″ and part of rectifying this communication
behavior is establishing criteria by which you evaluate the appropriateness of
saying yes or no given the circumstances. Then, you develop the necessary
skills, language, and so forth to say no effectively. The ″I don′t know how″
challenges in your 1C list are the challenges you will consider for your 1E
communication challenge goal. You will select one of the 1C challenges as your
1E goal. You will be working on that 1E communication challenge goal during
Weeks Two and Three. Under each 1C challenge, write a paragraph explaining why,
at this present time, you don’t know how to change that communication challenge
in your own life. 1D. Issue Selection For the CCC, you will select one of your
1C challenges as your project focus. That project focus will be stated in 1E,
but in 1D, you will write a paragraph explaining the elimination process.
Please explain why you didn’t select some of the challenges listed in 1C, and
why you settled with the one challenge you will be making your 1E communication
challenge goal. 1E. Project Statement In one sentence, write the challenge from
1C that will become your communication challenge goal. You will be working on
this chosen communication challenge during Weeks Two and Three. Note: It is
important that you will be able to enact this change in Week Three. If there is
no opportunity in Week Three to enact this change, then please select another
1C challenge to become your 1E communication challenge goal. Do NOT make 1E a
paragraph long – just a one-sentence statement, please. Like this . . . For my
project goal, I have selected “I don’t know how to . . . “ Sample project
statement For my project goal, I have selected ″I don′t know how to say no when
my brother asks to borrow money.″ Part 2 (of two parts due in Week One) In
order to gain further understanding regarding the communication challenge you
have selected, you will need to do some research to find an outside scholarly
source (in addition to the textbook) that addresses your 1E challenge. Once you
have located that source and read it, summarize the source and share how the
information within the source has provided insight into the strategies that can
help address your 1E challenge. Continue utilizing the template as you complete
Part 2. Begin with the title of the source. The first paragraph beneath the
title will summarize the source. The second paragraph will explain how the
information in your chosen source has provided guidance or insight. End with a
full APA citation on the references page You will be submitting Part 1 and Part
2 as one document that begins with a title page and ends with a References
page. Writing Requirements (APA format) Length: minimum of 4 pages (not
including the title page or the references page) no maximum page count. 1-inch
margins Double spaced 12-point Times New Roman font Title page References page
(minimum of 2 sources)

I would like the speech and topic to be an about my mother and how great of a mother she is and basically a dedication speech towards her I will provide more information and the rubric for the project.

We’ve discussed the difference between lobbying government entities and selling for a corporate entity (sales vs. lobbying). However, as Stephanie Vance discusses in the clip above, there are many similarities as well. There are three types of lobbying – legislative lobbying; regulatory advocacy lobbying; and budget advocacy. With this in mind, identify an issue important to you and develop a plan to lobby for it. Include the following in your plan:
A brief explanation of the issue you chose. For example, if you are interested in equal treatment of girls on the world, you might choose the issue of early marriage, female genital mutilation/cutting, access to education, etc.
Who you will target (and what type of lobbying you will do about it). Targets could be government officials, community leaders, traditional authorities, media, community members, etc.; depending on the issue.
What channels and outlets you plan to use?
What is your message to each target you identify, including your call to action?
Who will deliver your message?
How long will your strategy take?
Explain your reason for each of the six issues.
Your paper should be 4-7 pages, double spaced with 1″ margins, and submitted on Brightspace

course name: Eas6158 media and public communication in Japan.
pls choose two questions to answer as one report.

Please read the instructions attached carefully. 
The PDF titled Assessment Version 1 B is the instruction sheet.  The articles and other material attached need to be used in the responses as ncessary. All details are in the instruction sheet. The articles mentioned in the questions have been attached as well. Please message me if you have any questions. 

for this essay you need to find a topic that is controversial which has two different viewpoints, one is your opponent viewpoint and the other is your viewpoint ( it can be a social political or just a fun topic)but there should be a comprise between the subject . there should be a introduction paragraph, the second paragraph will be the opponent viewpoint , the third should be your viewpoint, the third should be the compromise, and the last paragraph is the conclusion. so overall the topic just need to be a subject that brings two opposing forces together. look at the document attached to see a more detailed explanation 

During the class, my professor created an in-class activity. He asked each group to work together to build a tower, using cups, tape, plates, small sticks and paper. The team that builds the tower with the highest weight and height within the specified time wins. The groups then compare. The video names our group represents our group. The video names higher group represents the group ranked higher than ours. The video names lower group represents the group ranked lower than ours. 
The essay should have required parts and formats below 
Comparisons & Performance 
Identify one or two observable differences across the teams that might have explained their performance differences.
Below are some potential aspects. Not all of them apply, and feel free to talk about something else. In any case, do not discuss more than 2 aspects: Depth is more important than breadth.
1. Leadership: Was/were there a leader/leaders? If so, what type of leader were they? What kind of leadership did they have? 
2. Motivation to participate: Did everyone in the group equally motivated to participate and/or contribute? If not, why? And how did such a difference influence the performance? 
3. Task Interaction vs Socio-emotional Interactions: What’s the rough proportion of task vs socio-emotional interactions? How were these two types of interaction related to the performance? 
4. Problem-Solving Procedures and Phases: How did the team discuss their plan? Were there any noticeable phases? If so, how could these phases have induced the performance; if not, comment on the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the discussion procedure. 
5. Other Structures: Were there any structures other than leadership in your group and other groups? How did it emerge? What did it look like? Did it contribute to the performance and communication of the group?
Task Interdependence: How did the members divide the labor? Were they working on separate tasks and pool contributions together, or did they work together on the same task? How did these contribute to the performance? 
6. Composition: Is there any difference in team composition between your team and other teams? Is there more/less diversity? Do you think team composition influenced the way people communicated and/or the overall performance of the activity? 
7. Conflict: Were there any conflicts, challenges, or confusion? If so, how did your team and other teams resolve those? Did everyone agree with the suggestions/resolutions? Did the ways people resolve conflicts affect the results? 
8. Planning vs Building: How did the teams utilize the separate planning and building periods? Were they effective and efficient?
Growth: (If teams built two towers) Were there any changes in group dynamics between the first and second towers built by the same team? 
When mentioning individual members, please use labels such as “Member 1,” “Member 2,” “Member 3,” and “Member 4.” 
Recommendations
In light of the above comparisons, suggest what could have improved the result, along with explanations.
Here are some hypothetical questions to assist your thinking. You don’t have to address them, and you may talk about something else.
What were the biggest struggles you had as you worked with your team members? Can you see any struggles in other teams? How could this have been resolved? What would have eased the process of conflict resolution?
Based on the results of each group, what are your recommendations for each team’s success?

INFORMATIVE SPEECH GRADING
Introduction, 2 points
Grab our attention!  Be creative and have fun!  Remember Spaghetti Girl!!! 
Structure, 4 points
Make obvious, your thesis, preview, body points w/clear and complete transitions, re-stated thesis, summary
Research, 3 points
All research must be completely and clearly spoken, and reflect exactly what you turned in with your works cited or bibliography.  Failure to turn in a proper and complete works cited or bibliography will result in a ZERO here.  Proper documentation is a crucial component of proper employment.
Example of research being spoken completely and clearly:
“According to the Los Angeles Times, February 28, 2018″….  
Completely and clearly spoken means: source (LA Times) and complete date (February 28, 1969) month, day and year!   All you are giving a listening audience is what they need (nothing more nothing less) to find what you have shared, should they desire to do so.   Super important, it’s a bit part of your credibility!   It shows that, you crossed all your T’s and dotted all of your I’s!
Conclusion, 2 point
Leave us thinking!  Be creative and have fun!
