Exploring the Social Media Presence of the Discourse Community of Mental Health Advocacy: An Analysis of Prominent People and Organizations
*This project is due in Lesson 5**)
OVERVIEW
Identify at least four prominent people or organizations related to your chosen discourse community (DC) who are posting on social media. Write an analysis of the content that is posted and the conversation that seems to be happening on social media. Platforms could include but are not limited to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Avoid writing about posts that are trying to sell a product.
Your paper should be about 1200 words in length, not including your Works Cited list.
Prompts to help you generate material:
Put keywords related to your discourse community in the social media search box. What accounts come up? Who follows or comments on those accounts? Of all that you find, what accounts seem to be important either because of the credentials listed or the high level of engagement such as followers or comments?
What are some of the topics that are being discussed on social media related to your DC? What had you already heard of? What was new to you?
List words you find on social media that seem to be a part of the lexis within your DC.
What purposes can you identify for the content that is posted? Who seems to be the intended audience for the posts?
Do you have any interest in engaging with the content? If you do, report back on any interactions you experience that you find interesting.
What about this experience of looking on social media for accounts related to your DC strikes you as new or interesting? Compare what you expected in this assignment to what you experienced or found. What do you know now that you didn’t know before? What are some things you could do to effectively utilize the opportunities that might be connected to your discourse community and the social media space?
Requirements for the assignment:
In your introduction, tell us how you got started on your social media search. Explain what you expected to find and/or if you had high or no hopes for this activity. You will then move toward concluding the introduction with a thesis that represents a meaningful claim about your findings regarding the presence of your discourse community in social media.
It will be up to you to decide what material to include from your research prompts and how your main ideas might be best organized for readers. Remember, a paragraph is one idea long. Explore each idea in appropriate depth before moving on to a new idea and paragraph.
After your conclusion, in which you will offer a summation of your key points and how they support your thesis, include a list of Works Cited list for the social media sources you examined. (If you cited other sources, include these, as well.) -

As a leader, it is beneficial to have a core set of practices that can be effective in routine times and during difficult or very challenging times. The leadership practices by Kouzes and Posner, called The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® Model, are based upon the transformational leadership model. Organizational leaders must plan to continually improve as leaders while also seeking to improve the performance of other leadership team members and of the rest of the organization. Adopting guiding principles or practices can help in the planning phases for leading when hard times occur.

“Streamlining Processes: The Benefits of Implementing a New Method”
This is a rough draft only please. This class just started so do not write like I am super knowledgeable yet.
What is expected: a document with an introduction explaining the purpose and scope of the project, body of information filled with sections of info based on the rubric as well as any assumptions and additional informational you think is helpful to explain your points. Finally a conclusion of some sort that summarizes your points and ultimately a comparison of the old method compared to the new method and why it will be a better solution going forward. Do NOT copy and paste any information from the help documents given to you, you will lose points if you do so. Much of this project is factual information of the what but you also need to include the why, how and when. It all logically needs to make sense. The rubric content is accurate, the rubric points are for the final draft.
What is expected –
A 3-5 page paper of content with an introduction explaining the purpose of this topic. The body of the paper will address all the questions you would have such as who, what, when, how…things like this. The body would be made up of the information gathered from the rubric items and anything else that is helpful to your points. Finally you should end with some type of conclusion that explains why this information is important or what you gained from preparing the paper such as the major takeaways. A cover page is optional but you should have a works cited page. Neither of these is counted in the 3-5 pages. -

A. Directions
Step 1: Introduction
Begin your paper with a 1-2 paragraph introduction that provides an overview of the assignment. Clearly state the purpose of the assignment and its significance in the context of exploring the intersections of culture, innovation, and religious expression through art and architecture. Remember to introduce both parts (Innovations in Art and Architecture and Art, Architecture, and Religious Expression) of the assignment in the introduction.
Your response for this section should be approximately 100-200 words.
Step 2: Innovations in Art and Architecture
Throughout this course, we have considered several examples of innovations in both art and architecture, including the evolution of form in Greek sculpture, images of Christ, dome architecture, architecture as a place where people attempt to be closer to the gods and/or to the heavens (architecture as a holy mountain).
For this section of your paper, select two examples of artistic or architectural works covered in the course. Both examples should either be structural innovations OR technological innovations (do not pick one of each). Discuss how these works built on past innovations to create something entirely new. Consider structural and formal innovations. Provide historical context for the chosen examples and explain the significance of these innovations. Your discussion of examples should apply the formal analysis skills learned in Unit 1 that consider the use of color, line, shape, medium, and other characteristics.
Your response for this section should be approximately 1-2 pages (300-500 words) and follow this structure:
Choose a Subject: Select either two structural innovations OR two technological innovations in either art or architecture that have significantly impacted its respective field. This could be a particular style, technique, or design concept.
Historical Context: Provide a brief overview of the historical context in which this innovation emerged. Highlight the key developments and influences that led to its creation.
Analysis of Innovation: Analyze how this innovation built upon past techniques or styles. Discuss the elements that distinguish it from previous approaches and how it contributed to the evolution of art or architecture.
Comparative Analysis: Draw connections and comparisons between the selected works, highlighting both similarities and differences in their expressions of innovation.
Make sure your information and citations come from the Sophia tutorials to support your response. When citing material from a tutorial, please include the name of the lesson and use the following format:
In-text citation: For example, (Romanesque Architecture, n.d.) or (Influence of Buddhism on Ancient Indian Art, n.d.). Please note these are examples only. You will have to adjust the citation based on the specific part of the tutorial you are referencing.
Step 3: Art, Architecture, and Religious Expression
Throughout this course, you have seen how art and architecture express the values of various religions. The cultures and religions discussed in this course include, but are not limited to:
Mesopotamia
Egypt
Hinduism
Jainism
Buddhism
Islam
Christianity
Mesoamerican culture
For this section of the paper, choose two specific religious works of art or architecture. Summarize the core values and beliefs of each religion. Analyze how the selected works of art or architecture express and embody the values and ideals of their respective cultures. Pay particular attention to the formal elements and design choices that relate to the religion or spiritual practice. Your discussion of examples should apply the formal analysis skills learned in Unit 1 that consider the use of color, line, shape, medium, and other characteristics.
Your response for this section should be approximately 1-2 pages (300-500 words) and follow this structure:
Select Works: Choose two specific religious works of art or architecture that serve as exemplars of religious cultural expression.
Religious Values and Ideals: Analyze each selected work in terms of how it embodies the ideals and values of its respective culture and religion. Consider the symbolism, motifs, and architectural elements that convey religious meaning.
Cultural Context: Provide background information on the culture and religious beliefs associated with each selected work. Explain how these cultural contexts influenced the creation and design of the artwork or architecture.
Comparative Analysis: Draw connections and comparisons between the two selected works, highlighting both similarities and differences in their expressions of religious values.
Make sure your information and citations come from the Sophia tutorials to support your response. When citing material from a tutorial, please include the name of the lesson and use the following format:
In-text citation: For example, (Romanesque Architecture, n.d.) or (Influence of Buddhism on Ancient Indian Art, n.d.). Please note these are examples only. You will have to adjust the citation based on the specific part of the tutorial you are referencing.
Step 4: Conclusion
In 1-2 paragraphs, summarize the key findings of your analysis and reiterate the significance of the relationship between art and architecture with culture, innovation, and religious expression.

Title: “Operant Conditioning for Consistent Chores: A Plan for Tommy’s Trash Duty”
For this assignment, imagine you are the parent of Tommy, an eleven-year-old boy. He is a good child and rarely gets into trouble. He maintains good grades at school and is a responsible big brother, always keeping a watchful eye out for his little sister. In his free time, Tommy loves playing video games. He would play them every day, all day long if allowed, but you have set a rather strict time limit. Tommy can only play video games for one hour through the week and two hours each day over the weekend. Your one frustration with Tommy is his constant forgetting to take out the trash on Mondays and Thursdays. This is his one and only household chore. Most often it is you that must take out the trash and bring in the empty cans. Tommy apologizes for forgetting and explains how he will remember next time. However, next time repeats the process of forgetting and apologizing. Step 1: You have decided to use operant conditioning to get Tommy to consistently take out the trash. To develop an effective plan to operantly condition Tommy, answer the following questions: Prompt 1: In no more than two complete sentences, explain why using operant conditioning is a more effective strategy than using classical conditioning to obtain the desired behavioral outcome. Prompt 2: What type of consequence will be more effective in modifying Tommy’s behavior, reinforcement or punishment? Why? Prompt 3: Describe in detail the operant conditioning process you would implement to modify Tommy’s behavior. What reinforcement or punishment would use for Tommy? Be sure to identify the attributes of the reinforcement or punishment, such as primary or secondary/conditioned reinforcer of positive reinforcement; escape or avoidance conditioning of negative reinforcement; and/or positive or negative punishment. Prompt 4: What sort of schedule would you use with Tommy, such as continuous or partial? If you select partial, what kind of schedule of reinforcement would you use? What is your rationale for your selected schedule?

“Managing Human-Wildlife Conflict: Strategies for Addressing Interested Party Conflict and Deeply Held Values”
Overview
Many authors have noted that most cases of Human-Wildlife Conflict (HWC) are not really conflicts between humans and wildlife, they are conflicts between groups of people about goals of management, the means to achieve those goals, or possibly deeper-rooted differences in values or morals (Madden and McQuinn 2014, Lute et al. 2016). Values are resistant to change, culturally shared, and generally formed early in life. Moral Foundations Theory (MFT; from Haidt and Joseph 2004) suggests that morals develop from different emphases of a limited set (commonly 5) of foundations such as care, authority, fairness, loyalty, and disgust (see Lute et al. 2016 for more on how MFT relates to HWC issues). As a manager, you must manage the participation of interested parties with different sets of values. This is especially difficult in that the strategies we employ to manage conflict should not, themselves, model or generate negative behaviors (e.g., “shoot, shovel, and shut-up”).
