PROMPT A: IMAGE ANALYSIS: Although we look at print advertisements every day, we often do not consider the ways in which they affect us. Visual images in ads can influence and persuade us, so it is important to evaluate them critically to understand their meanings. Good image analysis involves examination of the components of an image to gain an understanding of the whole. Select an advertisement to analyze. The advertisement you choose should be directed towards a specific audience. To identify the intended audience, think about the members of the potential audience for the advertisement that you have chosen. Who are they? Ads for a beauty product, for example, may be aimed at young girls; ads for a deodorant might target men; a diaper commercial is likely intended for new parents; ads for cruise trips might be aimed at retirees. You can use any academically-appropriate advertisement to complete this assignment, as long as its intended audience is clearly identified. Your thesis must inform the reader of your topic and purpose. Because you are writing in the informative mode, use objective language and a neutral point of view. Draft an analytical essay that examines the audience, context, and purpose of the advertising image you’ve chosen. Read the article by Jenna Pack titled “Breaking Down an Image” for ideas about how to write an image analysis. Your analysis should lead to a conclusion about the ad’s effectiveness, based on examination of its components. Include the image with your draft. PROMPT B: EXTENDED DEFINITION: Define or redefine one of the following words: Family Success Courage Art Beauty In your draft, briefly explain how society, or the dictionary, defines the word you’ve selected, and then explain your unique or extended definition of the word. Provide examples and explanations to support your definition. Your thesis must inform your readers of your new definition and, because you are writing in the informative mode, you must use objective language. Draft an extended definition essay that defines or redefines a word or concept. Read the article by Dan Richards titled “Digital Ethics” for ideas about how to write an extended definition essay. B. Think About Your Writing As a part of your completed draft, complete the color coding activity and include answers to all of the questions below your draft. PART 1: Color Coding Activity: Using the color codes provided, evaluate your draft as follows: Use red text to indicate your thesis statement. Use green text to indicate the topic sentence of each body paragraph. Part 2: Questions 1. What is the significance of your essay? Why should readers care about what you have written? (2-3 sentences) Sophia says: Think about why you decided to analyze this particular image, or why you picked the word you chose to define. Your interest in in your subject matter should be clear to readers. 2. Which areas of your draft do you think will benefit most from revision? (2-3 sentences) Sophia says: Consider the organization, style, focus, development, and conventions of your draft. Which areas did you struggle to complete? 3. Consider the strengths and weaknesses of your writing. How can you capitalize on your strengths and improve on your weaknesses in future essays? (3-4 sentences) Sophia says: Think about what was easy about writing the draft, and what was more difficult. For example, if you write paragraphs with strong topic sentences, but repeatedly use the same type of sentence to provide supporting details, you can improve your paragraphs by varying sentence structure.
The members of the United Nations found great value in the analysis you provided on the effects of global warming that result from population growth. They are now asking you write an additional analysis to include further issues related to population growth. Here is the issue they have asked you to consider: The member states of the United Nations seek to build food systems that can provide global food security which will feed everyone, everywhere, every day by improving food quality though the promotion of effective and nutritional agricultural practices. The crucial issue is not the lack of food in the world but the access to that food. In many developing countries, food shortages are due to governmental control over food distribution. These governments maintain control of the population and their power by limiting access to nutritious food to certain groups. In this practice, they thereby “weaponize” food. Your second project as a consultant for the United Nations is to develop an analysis that addresses three issues related to global food insecurity caused by global population growth and poverty, and to explore these issues in a developing country of your choosing. The UN has given you the following guidelines. Content The UN has asked that your paper contain three sections. Each section should be one page (or approximately 300 words) in length and answer specific questions, identified in the outline below. It also asks that you use examples from your developing country when answering the questions. Introduction Provide an introduction of half a page minimum that addresses points a-e below. Explains the problem the UN has asked you to address in your own words; Identifies the three sections your paper will cover; Identifies the developing country you will consider; Tells the UN the causes of food insecurity; and Provides a one-sentence statement of your solutions at the end of your introduction paragraph. Section I. Background What is food insecurity? What role does population growth play in food security? Section II. Technologies That Can Reduce Hunger and Improve Food Security What forms of technology can be used to reduce hunger and improve food security? How would these technological solutions work? What causes of food insecurity do these technologies address? Section III. Specific Factors in Chosen Developing Country Considering the causes of food insecurity, what factors interrupt the flow of food from the source to the people in the developing country you selected? Conclusion Provide a conclusion of half a page minimum that includes a summary of your findings that the United Nations can use to inform future policy decisions. Success Tips In answering each question, use examples from your developing country to illustrate your points. The UN needs facts and objective analysis on which to base future policy decisions; avoid personal opinion and make sure your answers are based on information you find through research. Formatting Requirements Make sure your paper consists of four to six pages of content (or 1,200 words minimum, not including the cover or reference pages). Create headings for each section of your paper as follows: Section I. Background Section II. Technologies That Can Reduce Hunger and Improve Food Security Section III. Specific Factors in Chosen Developing Country Use and cite at least five credible sources in your research. A list of potential resources is available below.
How much do your readers know about the problem? How many groups or interests are involved? How long has the problem existed? How urgent is the problem? As you develop your body paragraphs, you need to think not only about the problem, but also the solution or set of solutions. What is the first step? What is the most expedient solution? What is the solution that is most acceptable to all or most in the audience?
800-1,000 words (required) Assignment Objectives Analyze short-run and long-run costs. Use effective communication techniques. Reading Assignment International Economics: Theory and Policy Author: Suranovic; Publisher: Saylor Academy IB Economics Review Guide Publisher: Wikibooks Suranovic: Chapters 4-7; Wikibook Chapters 3 Assignment Details Suppose that there are two products: clothing and soda. Both Brazil and the United States produce each product. Brazil can produce 100,000 units of clothing per year and 50,000 cans of soda. The United States can produce 65,000 units of clothing per year and 250,000 cans of soda. Assume that costs remain constant. For this example, assume that the production possibility frontier (PPF) is a straight line for each country because no other data points are available or provided. Include a PPF graph for each country in your paper. Chapter 5 of the Suranovic text is a good reference for this task. Complete the following: What would be the production possibility frontiers for Brazil and the United States? Without trade, the United States produces AND CONSUMES 32,500 units of clothing and 125,000 cans of soda. Without trade, Brazil produces AND CONSUMES 50,000 units of clothing and 25,000 cans of soda. Denote these points on each COUNTRY’s production possibility frontier. Using what you have learned and any independent research you may conduct, which product should each country specialize in, and why? To assist in your thinking and discussion, additional questions to consider include: What is the labor-intensive good? What is the Marginal Rate of Transformation impact? What is the labor-abundant country? What is the capital-abundant country? Could trade help reduce poverty in Brazil and other developing countries?
This course has major project assignments due in Week 3 and Week 5. It will take more than a week’s effort to adequately complete them. Plan time to start the research and work on those assignments earlier than the week in which they are due. Evaluating Employee Characteristics Some research studies (Ilies & Judge, 2003; Saari & Judge, 2004) report that genetics play a very important part in whether an employee has a high level of job satisfaction. Their work suggests that the attitudes, personality, and values that a person brings to the workplace are better predictors of whether the employee will be satisfied than any of the external factors a company or manager might provide the employee. In fact, their studies indicate that a person with high satisfaction will generally report being highly satisfied, no matter the situation within the company. Similarly, a person who reports low satisfaction will consistently report low satisfaction, no matter what the company may do to increase the employee’s satisfaction. If these studies are correct, then there would seem to be some rationality in only hiring applicants with positive personalities. In this assignment, you will develop a ten item survey that will be given to all applicants at your company. The purpose of this survey is to determine whether the applicant is a positive or negative person. First determine what attitudes, personality characteristics, and values you want to look for based upon your reading and research. You may ask up to nine questions to determine those individual characteristics. Let question ten ask whether the applicant is satisfied with the company. Once you’ve completed your survey, write a well-researched, convincing paper to be read by your company’s head of the Human Resources Department in which you do the following: · Analyze how personality, values, and attitudes contribute to an employee’s satisfaction. Include support from your reading and research. · Justify why you chose to include the questions you did. Explain how each question will contribute to determining whether the applicant is a positive person. · Include your full survey as an appendix to your paper. Submission Details: · Submit your plan in a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document, using APA style. · Name your document SU_MGT3002_W1_LastName_FirstInitial.doc. · Submit your document to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.
