To assist you with the assigned readings, I have developed an outline of questions for you to answer. Think about this as a key for what information to pay attention to in the reading. Research shows that students learn and retain information better when they can write it down in their own words. Try to answer the questions within these guides in your own words rather than copying and pasting the content from readings/lectures. The idea is to see if you can succinctly answer the question in your own words based on the knowledge you gained from your readings/lectures. Try to answer each question within one to three sentences. 1. What was Gerbner’s conceptualization of media? Did he expect there to be differences across different media genres? 2. Briefly describe the three components of cultivation theory? 3. Briefly describe the three key concepts of cultivation theory? 4. Briefly describe the three key propositions of cultivation theory? 5. Briefly describe the three foundational assumptions of cultivation theory? 6. What are the two procedures Gerbner and colleagues used to look for evidence of cultivation effects? 7. What kind of empirical support is there for Gerbner’s cultivation analysis? Are cultivation effects big or small relative to other media effects? 8. What kind of empirical support is there for Gerbner’s claim that cultivation effects are cumulative? 9. Describe the idea behind mainstreaming and resonance? 10. According to the author of your textbook, what is the most serious challenge to cultivation theory? Why?

Please answer the following question in approximately 1000 words (+/- 250). In answering, illustrate your arguments with concepts and concrete examples and make certain that you address the question. You should draw upon both the lectures and readings and appropriately reference* them in formulating your answers. The term "globalisation" is used to describe a variety of economic, cultural, social, and political changes that have shaped the world over the past 50-odd years, from the much celebrated revolution in information technology to the diminishing of national and geo-political boundaries in an ever-expanding, transnational movement of goods, services, and capital. The increasing homogenisation of consumer tastes, the consolidation and expansion of corporate power, sharp increases in wealth and poverty, the "McDonaldisation" of food and culture, and the growing ubiquity of liberal democratic ideas are all, in one way or another, attributed to globalisation1. Shalmali Guttal Globalization thus brings new opportunities and challenges to citizens in states throughout the globe and makes resources available to actors in domestic political and social struggles. Thus far this quarter, through the readings and in lecture, we have explored the meaning of human rights and terrorism, the import and impact of state sovereignty and communication, the three generations of human rights and the five waves of terrorism and, the emergence of different types of human rights and terrorist organizations. Discuss how human rights organizations and terrorist organizations respond to globalization and the changing understanding of human rights and terrorism (including the generations of rights and waves of terrorism) to challenge the behavior of states and the norms of the state system. Remember to discuss the paradox of sovereignty for both human rights and terrorist organizations and to explore how globalization influences these organizations’ ability to interact with both domestic and global governments and publics. *APA or any other consistent style
I want to add that withitness is also being able to know whats going on in the classrom in order to be able to react to situations before they happen. Therefore, an effective strategy would be to notice something is not okay before getting to the disruptive behavior. Regardless, as you mentioned, being able to handle these situations is also key. Can you think or know of any strategy/methods/ training to help teachers enhance withitness?
You are required to write a report aimed at considering, describing, and evaluating the characteristics and effectiveness of a positive psychology intervention (PPI) using the following case study. You are encouraged to read widely around the subject
Assessment and Treatment of Offenders: This journal talks about how difficult it is for prisoners to get help and be rehabilitated when they are released. It goes over how whenever any type of prisoner asks for help either from the prison medical staff or even a psychologist they are brushed off as if it doesn't matter what they're feeling because of the crime they had committed. This problem causes the majority of prisoners to reoffend and end back in confinement. According to the National Insitute of Justice (2020), there are donations to help rehabilitation programs for prisoners but the statistic states that the average year and percentage a prisoner is rearrested after release; 68% within 3 years, 79% within 6 years, and 83% within 9 years (Bloom, 2021, Bradshaw, 2021). The challenges weren't exactly towards the staff but towards the prisoners instead. Staff members have been known to misuse Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that had been set in place to help prisoners rehabilitate (Beck & Haigh, 2014). With prison staff members not using their resources correctly this makes inmates either become reserved or more violent due to them feeling as if no one in the system cares enough to help them. Sadly this is common since most people in those positions don't believe that inmates can change and become a better version of themselves. In Pope and Vasquez's (n.d) they go over questions to ask yourself when it comes to problems. Incorporating their theory into this journal is that the problem is how CBT is not being used properly or any of the resources given, the prisoners are the ones that are affected by the misuse, and the prisoners are also the clients in this situation. The way prison staff could begin the process of helping rehabilitation be more effective with prisoners is to begin to listen to what they need to say instead of dismissing it, once they begin that one step the process will begin to make an impact. The beginning of an inmate's rehabilitation is taken seriously they will then be able to regulate their emotions and understand what resources they can use once they have been released especially if someone in their life can set them back.

To prepare for this Discussion: Review the Learning Resources and the media programs related to correlation and regression. Search for and select a quantitative article specific to your discipline and related to correlation or regression. Help with this task may be found in the Course guide and assignment help linked in this week’s Learning Resources. Also, you can use as guide the Research Design Alignment Table located in this week’s Learning Resources. Write a 3- to 5-paragraph critique of the article. In your critique, include responses to the following: What is the research design used by the authors? Why did the authors use correlation or bivariate regression? Do you think it’s the most appropriate choice? Why or why not? Did the authors display the data? Do the results stand alone? Why or why not? Did the authors report effect size? If yes, is this meaningful? Be sure to support your Main Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.
To prepare for this Assignment: Review this week’s Learning Resources and media program related to regression and correlation. Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (whichever you choose) found in the Learning Resources for this week. Based on the dataset you chose, construct a research question that can be answered with a Pearson correlation and bivariate regression. Once you perform your correlation and bivariate regression analysis, review Chapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document. For this Assignment: Write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of your correlation and bivariate regression results for each research question. If you are using the Afrobarometer Dataset, report the mean of Q1 (Age). If you are using the HS Long Survey Dataset, report the mean of X1SES. Do not forget to evaluate if the correlation and bivariate regression assumptions are met and report the effect size. In your analysis, display the data for the output. Based on your results, provide an explanation of what the implications of social change might be. Use proper APA format, citations, and referencing for your analysis, research question, and display of output.
