INDIVIDUAL IN SOCIETY

/0 Comments/in /by

TOPIC: INDIVIDUAL IN SOCIETY PLEASE MUST USE PROPER MLA FORMAT* You should include a minimum of 3 sources, and your sources will be credible academic sources (no Wikipedia, Ezine articles, Cliff Notes, or random stuff from the Web). In other words, you will have to either visit a brick and mortar public/university library TO find relevant articles that address the role of the individual in society and provide details regarding whether or not the assignment question presents a valid picture of our world by asserting or disputing that, in many places people are experiencing rising unemployment, political violence, poverty, and looming ecological disasters related to all the other issues mentioned on this short list of problems. Your presentation will discuss – using fluent, academic arguments (meaning ideas argued from academic sources with a creative, compelling, logical and an imaginative use of language) – the following questions: In your opinion, what is the role of the individual in helping to solve some of the problems mentioned in the paragraph above? • Are we more likely to solve the problems if we embrace a sense of common purpose and public spirit focused on the collective good? Or, • Should we focus on our private pursuits and a market mentality that says our consumption is what makes the world go around? Does your argument account for a differing point of view? Explain. Is there a balance between what the individual is responsible for and what our role should be in the public sphere? • To place the topic of this week’s assignment into broader historical, political, and/or social context, search for three academic sources (e.g. books, peer-reviewed journal articles) and reference those sources in your analysis of the individual’s role in society. • Your presentation should be organized in a manner that allows the reader to follow the logical progression of your arguments, your ideas are well developed, and they follow a coherent pattern from introduction (thesis), through the body of the presentation, to the conclusion.

Social Media and Detrimental Effects of Comparison

/0 Comments/in /by

Must be 20 pages, APA format. Must have 8 references. This is a counseling paper that addresses the detrimental affects of comparing oneself to the life of someone else based on social media. Here is the intro paragraph and reference list: Social Media and Detrimental Effects of Comparison Comparison can be the root of a variety of issues clients present to counseling with. Diminished self-image, reduced self-worth, and discontentment with one’s own life stemming from the coveting of others. In an age where participating on social media outlets is a staple for many and is accessible in the palms of our hands, the instances where comparisons can occur are infinite. With every swipe, there is an opportunity for one to view a post that could contribute to detrimental effects of comparison. Researchers have found correlations between depression, internalization of irrational ideals, and other aspects that contribute to dissatisfaction of life. Reviewing the research can help to gain an understanding of how to work with client’s the present to counseling with such issues. Treatment plans can be developed to include goals pertaining to social media usage, including identifying triggers and decreasing utilization. Implications for future research relating emotional connection and other aspects of social media, such as secondary trauma via the sharing and viewing of emotionally charged traumatic events, should be discussed.

Declining Majority of Online Adults

Say the Internet Has Been Good for Society At the same time, the contours of connectivity are shifting: One-in-five Americans are now ‘smartphone only’ internet users at home BY AARON SMITH (Robert Nickelsberg/Getty Images) (Robert Nickelsberg/Getty Images) Americans tend to view the impact of the internet and other digital technologies on their own lives in largely positive ways, Pew Research Center surveys have shown over the years. A survey of U.S. adults conducted in January 2018 finds continuing evidence of this trend, with the vast majority of internet users (88%) saying the internet has, on balance, been a mostly good thing for them personally. But even as they view the internet’s personal impact in a positive light, Americans have grown somewhat more ambivalent about the impact of digital connectivity on society as a whole. A sizable majority of online adults (70%) continue to believe the internet has been a good thing for society. Yet the share of online adults saying this has declined by a modest but still significant 6 percentage points since early 2014, when the Center first asked the question. This is balanced by a corresponding increase (from 8% to 14%) in the share of online adults who say the internet’s societal impact is a mix of good and bad. Meanwhile, the share saying the internet has been a mostly bad thing for society is largely unchanged over that time: 15% said this in 2014, and 14% say so today. This shift in opinion regarding the ultimate social impact of the internet is particularly stark among older Americans, despite the fact that older adults have been especially rapid adopters of consumer technologies such as social media and smartphones in recent years. Today 64% of online adults ages 65 and older say the internet has been a mostly good thing for society. That represents a 14-point decline from the 78% who said this in 2014. The attitudes of younger adults have remained more consistent over that time: 74% of internet users ages 18 to 29 say the internet has been mostly good for society, comparable to the 79% who said so in 2014. As was true in our 2014 survey, college graduates are more likely than those with lower levels of educational attainment to say the internet has had a positive impact on society (and less likely to say it has had a negative impact). Among online adults with a college degree, 81% say the impact of the internet on society has been mostly good and just 7% say it has been mostly bad. By contrast, 65% of those with a high school diploma or less say the internet has had a mostly good impact on society, and 17% say its impact has been mostly bad. Positive views of the internet are often tied to information access and connecting with others; negative views are based on a wider range of issues Those who think the internet has had a good impact on society tended to focus on two key issues, according to follow-up items which allowed respondents to explain their views in their own words. Most (62% of those with a positive view) mentioned how the internet makes information much easier and faster to access. Meanwhile, 23% of this group mentioned the ability to connect with other people, or the ways in which the internet helps them keep more closely in touch with friends and family. By contrast, those who think the internet is a bad thing for society gave a wider range of reasons for their opinions, with no single issue standing out. The most common theme (mentioned by 25% of these respondents) was that the internet isolates people from each other or encourages them to spend too much time with their devices. These responses also included references to the spread and prevalence of fake news or other types of false information: 16% mentioned this issue. Some 14% of those who think the internet’s impact is negative cited specific concerns about its effect on children, while 13% argued that it encourages illegal activity. A small share (5%) expressed privacy concerns or worries about sensitive personal information being available online. One-in-five Americans are now ‘smartphone only’ internet users at home These attitudinal changes are occurring in a broader landscape in which the access options available to ordinary Americans are shifting dramatically. Most notably, fully one-in-five Americans (20%) are now “smartphone only” internet users at home – that is, they own a smartphone but do not subscribe to traditional broadband service where they live. This represents a 7-point increase compared with data from 2015, when 13% of Americans were smartphone-only users. Roughly two-thirds of Americans (65%) say they subscribe to traditional broadband service at home, similar to the 67% who said this in July 2015.1

Homosexual in the military

/0 Comments/in /by

Homosexuals would no longer fear discharge from the military by admitting to their sexual preference. Homosexuals have the freedom to serve in the armed forces openly. Another frontier was crossed when the ban on service by openly transgender persons in the military was repealed on July 1, 2016. Though in the current administration in 2017, President Trump stated that a goal of his is to not allow transgender men and women from serving in the military. The Department of Defense recently changed their policy on military service by transgender persons and persons with gender dysphoria. Please review the DOD’s new policy to get a better understanding before determining if you agree or disagree with the new policy. Why do you agree or disagree with the new DOD policy?

Choose a commercial, film, music or television show clip produced during the Cold War that you feel reflects American Cold War culture and/or society of the 1950s.  Do not use “Duck and Cover” since this was your short paper topic. Provide a usable link to the forum for viewing. Identify the film’s title, artist(s) release date, and the producer. Describe the central message of the film and link it to the ways it reflects the Cold War culture and/or society of the 1950s. Explain the reasons for your selection of this film. Write your post in paragraph form and adhere to the Chicago Style format. When responding to others agree/disagree or expand on their points. View the forum grading rubric. Below are links to places for looking for material as well as accessibility information. http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/adviews/ “Accessibility: Commercials in the Highlights album will receive captioning and video description by the Media Access Group of WGBH, which administers the National Center for Accessible Media. Commercials with accessibility features will be added to the collection as they are completed.” The following have closed caption options available. http://www.archive.org/details/audio http://www.archive.org/details/Televisi1960 http://www.youtube.com/ http://www.archive.org/details/movies For a more competitive approach, can you think of any films which specifically center upon society’s fear of atomic energy, or the effects of atomic weapons on the human condition? There’s some big ones out there. While there are some great choices regarding paranoia, isolationism and espionage…let’s keep this in the realm of atomic energy and/or nuclear weapons. For this one consult your textbook and/or pursue Netflix, youtube, imdb.com, and any source on Hollywood during the era.
