Presenting the Theories To complete this assignment, you will craft an 8-slide PowerPoint® presentation about three of the theories of politics and public policy introduced in this unit’s readings. The purpose of this assignment is to familiarize yourself with the various theories of politics and public policy, expand your knowledge of public policy, and identify where specific theories can be best applied to policy actions or specific policy examples. The assignment must meet the following college writing expectation: Writing should establish the purpose of the presentation with a clear, sustained point of view. Writing should follow the conventions of Standard English (correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling). Writing should be well ordered, logical, and unified as well as original and insightful. Writing should follow APA citation and reference style. Utilize the Assignment Resources for further direction if needed. Craft an 8-Slide PowerPoint Presentation With the Following Format: Slide 1: Title Slide Include the following: Your name, course information, assignment title, date of completion (or term) Slide 2: First Theory Place the name of the first theory to be discussed at the top of the slide (e.g., “Group Theory,” “Elite Theory”). Provide a referenced explanation of the theory using the course text or other appropriate academic source(s). Slide 3: First Policy Example At the top of the slide, place the name of the specific policy or policy action that exemplifies the theory discussed on the previous slide. Briefly summarize the policy or policy action (citing the policy itself or other references as appropriate). Explain, in your own words, how the chosen policy or policy action exemplifies the theory discussed in the previous slide. (e.g., If you chose “group theory” for the previous slide, then identify a specific group that promoted [lobbied for] or was otherwise involved in the formation of the policy and explain how the group played a part in the policy’s history or guided policy action). Slide 4: Second Theory Place the name of the second theory to be discussed at the top of the slide (e.g., “Group Theory,” “Elite Theory,”). Provide a referenced explanation of the theory using the course text or other appropriate academic source(s). Slide 5: Second Policy Example At the top of the slide, place the name of the specific policy or policy action that exemplifies the theory discussed on the previous slide. Briefly summarize the policy or policy action (citing the policy itself or other references as appropriate). Explain, in your own words, how the chosen policy or policy action exemplifies the theory discussed in the previous slide. (e.g., If you chose “elite theory” for the previous slide, then identify the elites who promoted [lobbied for] or were otherwise involved in the formation of the policy or how the policy action was clearly intended to benefit the interests of the elite and explain how those elites played a part in the policy’s history.) Slide 6: Third Theory Place the name of the third theory to be discussed at the top of the slide (e.g., “Group Theory,” “Elite Theory”). Provide a referenced explanation of the theory using the course text or other appropriate academic source(s). Slide 7: Third Policy Example At the top of the slide, place the name of the third specific policy or policy action that exemplifies the theory discussed on the previous slide. Briefly summarize the policy or policy action (citing the policy itself or other references as appropriate). Explain, in your own words, how the chosen policy or policy action exemplifies the theory discussed in the previous slide. (e.g., If you chose “institutional theory” for the previous slide, then identify the specific governmental agencies involved in formation of the policy and explain their roles in the policy’s history or demonstrate how the policy action was performed in regard to the institution(s) involved.)

This assignment requires that you engage with and learn about a culture that is different from your own. The important consideration here is involvement, not just as a bystander or observer, but engagement with people from a cultural group other than your own.  Attendance at cultural events or rituals, spending time at places where people from the culture hang out, along with interviews of people from the culture are excellent ways to engage with the cultural group you select.  As you do your field experience, you will also support your understanding of the culture through research.  For this assignment students are required to write a three to five page (double-spaced) paper that includes: A description of the cultural experiences Analysis of the experience using theories and concepts from the course Support for field research through library resources (minimum 5 sources, 3 of which must be scholarly) A summary of reflections on what you have learned from the experience In layman's terms I think you should be conquering this paper doing the following steps: 1) Choose a culture that you are not a part of to experience (remember culture is much more broad than race, sex, religion, etc. so most things you choose would probably be considered a culture) 2) Spend at least an hour experiencing that culture in whatever way you can (this could be through an online mediated experience if necessary).  I might also suggest interviewing someone from that culture (they can also be utilized for one of your 5 sources) 3) You will then construct your paper analyzing this experience through one or more of the chapters from the text.  As in you could explore the experience you had through the media chapter for example and how you observed this cultures presentation in media, how they react to it, etc.  You can focus on any concepts you'd like but I would suggest that you don't try to implement too many as it makes your paper quite shallow.  4) Remember that the core of this paper is really around the analysis of your experience.  This should not be a 5 page book report on how much fun you had going to a club (although I do hope you have fun doing this).  This paper should mostly be focusing on how you can apply the concepts you've learned in this semester to your real lived experience. 5) If you are confused on how to construct this paper I have also put in 5 samples in this module for you.  These are a bit longer than the one's that I am asking you to write but the format is exactly the same otherwise.  Make sure to use the "good examples" as papers to emulate and not the one's labeled "bad".

What did you learn in her TedTalk about taking a different approach to discussing politics?  Did it change any assumptions or attitudes about how to talk to friends or family with divergent viewpoints?  One page for this section.    Part II. Take the Political Party Quiz. As per the site: "A political personality is how your values interface with the broader social world.  It provides some broad highlights of strengths, weaknesses, political traits, policy values, and party alignment. You are unique, so no personality profile will fit you perfectly. This is merely a guide to give you deeper perspective on how you fit into the broader socio-political world."

Did you identify as one of the main four the quiz tests on - Republican, Democrat, Green Party, or Libertarian - or something else, or nothing at all? What was your result for the quiz? Were you surprised by the result or not? Do you feel the result description fit you or not?  Write additional questions you think are missing to create a more robust portrait.  Are more parties needed, or is political reform more critical?

Principles of Psychology Virtual (and augmented) reality have a number of purposes and uses for recreation such as gaming, education such as workplace training, and even health care such as exposure therapy for certain types of anxiety disorders or PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). You will learn more about all of this throughout the course. For this assignment, consider how virtual (and augmented) reality relate to the basic principles of psychology. If you have an undergraduate intro to psychology textbook, typically any book can help. Look through the table of contents at the different content areas indicated (most intro books have nearly identical sections). Pick three topics, concepts, or theories from anywhere in the introductory material and talk about the connection between the basic principle and what your understanding of Virtuality is all about from the readings (and Discussion 1) for the week. If you do not have a textbook, you can access any number of open educational resources (OER) here https://www.oercommons.org/curated-collections/414... Submission Instructions: Submit your assignment as a Word document of no more than two (2) pages of content (not including your references page).
