For this assignment, you will be reading 5 different short stories and writing a reflection on each one (five total). Each reflection should be approximately one paragraph (10-15 sentences). In general, you will address what you have learned about mental health and why this particular reading is meaningful to you. I will attach the five stories for you to use.
Tasks: Note: You should turn in written work only to this discussion or to the other discussion board on mental health in a U.S subculture. (Pick one discussion to participate in.) You must post before you will see anyone else's posts. 1/Original post After watching the lecture video and reading your required readings for the module, watch a mukbang video on YouTube originating in either in South Korea or one from another country which is following that mass-eating practice. Take notes on the video (using timestamps you can cite) and analyze it in terms of three specific points made in the following article referenced on your syllabus: Strand, Mattius and Sanna Aila Gustaffson (2020), "Mukbang and Disordered Eating: A Netographic Analysis of Online Eating Broadcasts." Culture, Medicine & Psychiatry : 44(4): 586-609. (found on Library Course Reserves after you log in to the library )(200-word min) Be sure to fully reference your video in your post, which means starting with the name of the person or organization who created the video, the year, the title of the video, and a weblink that directly allows your fellow students to access the video. 2/Response: Analyze a student's post who has not yet been responded to (ideally) in an original post that brings in new ideas from class materials and cites them explicitly (e.g., Swan Module 9 Lecture Video Part 2 2024; Mattius and Gustaffson et al. 2020:600). Watch the video that your fellow student watched before analyzing their analysis (150-word min). Remember the goal of the response is to continue deepening the discussion by adding new information on it and your take on the material. https://csusm.zoom.us/rec/play/lRkldbu5kJlBfSBmFK6NwSX6fVZEGqM8z2EW-AMMpp3sTKQYGmpPfcs43vKsPUsU5xgEhLriB0rr9YsO.OWh_Ab2aK0JwhfF3?canPlayFromShare=true&from=share_recording_detail&startTime=1690078316000&componentName=rec-play&originRequestUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fcsusm.zoom.us%2Frec%2Fshare%2FkobneUH3kTBp1kejtEphTURH_Fip8-47M7bbuUQsrjnyqaeoABSKVOix_On14fwE.uHTHRbIQDsYS75P7%3FstartTime%3D1690078316000 https://csusm.zoom.us/rec/play/qP289dJNvUmsThdznZmAcBBV8oUpywqpxuPUN0BOLxFkQIx154tvfzZ7YhKr04cO03ecO8ZXGOJsYAhV.ERwdImxCxfVxs-25?canPlayFromShare=true&from=share_recording_detail&startTime=1713576352000&componentName=rec-play&originRequestUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fcsusm.zoom.us%2Frec%2Fshare%2F6ONiRLowKc5SveTScTqp6LOvyIAJqVK67kTiBoc6N9NbVDy3VPQSUULf8cOn5vha._fRt8vc8YGl5FOgG%3FstartTime%3D1713576352000 https://csusm.zoom.us/rec/play/ePpBDOxq7jVFv8unq95XS8s99VXR_bN_Ba_zjuq1yqaj1RccIgpWPG067blpQiWpaJ55bh2OSJyslk-5.6ubvNG50CkQPZINu?canPlayFromShare=true&from=share_recording_detail&startTime=1713576989000&componentName=rec-play&originRequestUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fcsusm.zoom.us%2Frec%2Fshare%2F6ONiRLowKc5SveTScTqp6LOvyIAJqVK67kTiBoc6N9NbVDy3VPQSUULf8cOn5vha._fRt8vc8YGl5FOgG%3FstartTime%3D1713576989000

Summarize basic aspects of the family of origin. Components of Group Participation (2-3 Pages) Explore the subject's group participation in the present, including the primary groups that occur naturally (e.g., friend groups, community involvement, etc.) and groups that are more time-limited, goal-oriented, and likely temporary (e.g., school, work, etc.). Are there similarities in how the subject functions across the major groups in which they participate? Are there differences? Describe them. Begin to explore how the subject's participation in their family of origin may impact how they navigate these groups. What in Biographical Case Study Part 2 is most informative in terms of understanding the subject's present group participation? Describe ways that the subject's current group participation may help us understand any emotional distress they're experiencing. I'd note that your subject doesn't need to be profoundly impaired Prospects for Change (1-2 Pages) Do you see any barriers to the subject's participation in a group therapeutic environment?

Deliverable 4 - Using Sociological Theory to Understand Organizational Change Assignment Content COMPETENCY This competency will allow you to demonstrate your ability to examine organizational changes that are due to technological changes and apply the sociological theory that would explain such change. STUDENT SUCCESS CRITERIA View the grading rubric for this deliverable by selecting the “This item is graded with a rubric” link, which is located in the Details & Information pane. INSTRUCTIONS You have recently started working for a local department store in the Operations Department. Upon settling into your new position, you come to realize that they have outdated business practices. As a department, you and your peers begin to discuss changes that your store could make to help the store become more profitable and more competitive in the marketplace. This leads to discussions about the evolution of business practices at larger corporations such as Apple, Microsoft, Kohl's, etc. Partway through your discussion, your Director of Operations comes in and joins the conversation. He likes what he is hearing and starts to brainstorm out loud with the group how your store can get "more with the times." Knowing that every change within an organization is made for a specific reason, your director asks that you research some of the key theoretical perspectives that would explain how and why organizations change. Because of your sociological prowess from your days in school, you know that you can apply Conflict Theory and Symbolic Interaction Theory to the reasons for organization change, but your supervisor has asked for a minimum of three theories that would support change. In addition to conducting research on theoretical perspectives for change, your supervisor would like you to put together some sort of visual representation that demonstrates how each of the theories explains organizational change, and then highlight the one that you think is most applicable to your store. You will be presenting your visual presentation to store management in an effort to provide them information so that they can determine the avenues of change that are most appropriate for your store. Because your supervisor sees the value in the changes to the organization, he has encouraged you to create a presentation that will grab the attention of the audience and that includes both pictorial and written information so that all the audience can easily envision the application of the change to your environment. For this presentation you are to reflect and address the following information/questions: Provide a brief definition of Conflict Theory. Provide a brief definition of Symbolic Interaction. What changes have been made in various aspects of society (work, school, shopping, etc.)? Explain them through the lens of Conflict Theory and Symbolic Interaction Theory. How do Conflict Theory and Symbolic Interaction Theory explain or impact organizational change? Identify at least one other sociological theory, and demonstrate how it applies to organizational change in our society. Of the three identified theories (Conflict, Symbolic Interaction, and the theory of your choice), which theory do you believe best explains organizational changes in our society? Consider various aspects of the organizations that change i.e. technology, online, and face-to-face transactions, local versus global operations, etc.
Instructions YOU ARE WORKING FOR A LOCAL DEPARTMENT STORE IN THE OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT. SINCE YOU BEGAN WORKING WITH THIS ORGANIZATION, YOU HAVE NOTICED THAT YOUR TEAM MEMBERS ARE MORE COMFORTABLE WITH TECHNOLOGY. HOWEVER, THE AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY IN THE STORE HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED. IT IS ALSO APPARENT TO YOU THAT AS TECHNOLOGY HAS IMPROVED IN OUR SOCIETY, SO HAS THE TYPES OF DEVIANT BEHAVIORS THAT OCCUR, AND YOU'RE AWARE THAT DEVIANT BEHAVIORS IN BOTH THE PHYSICAL WORLD AND IN DIGITAL ENVIRONMENTS CAN IMPACT BUSINESS PRACTICES. With the observations that you have made, you approach your boss who has also noticed an increase in deviant behaviors within society and has an overall concern about how the store can be impacted. Because of his increasing concern about the impact of deviant behaviors on the store, and his knowledge of your familiarity with the subject, you are asked by your supervisor to create a video collage that will demonstrate your interpretation of deviance in the digital world and the impact it can have on the store you are working in. Your supervisor informs you that this video collage will be presented to your supervisor and colleagues in order to help you and the business determine the types of deviance that need to be addressed, and how to effectively manage it through daily operations. Your supervisor encourages you to use a variety of visual representations in order to captivate your audience and get your message across. For this video collage, you are to reflect and address the following questions and information. What is defined as deviant in the physical world? What is defined as deviant in the digital or online world? Compare and contrast deviance between the two environments. Consider various forms of deviance in both the physical and virtual worlds, and explain how they impact society. How would Conflict Theory define deviance? How would Symbolic Interaction Theory define deviance? How do the theories discussed impact the meaning or interpretation of deviance in a digital or online environment? How do you envision that deviance in the virtual world, or deviance due to technological advances, can impact your store? What are some ways to manage various forms of deviance in the day-to-day operations of your store?
