Goal: Identify and review existing solutions to the problem you are focusing on. Your audience is potential funders/supporters of solutions. Required content: Concisely review the specific causes and consequences of the problem that your group intends to focus on. Reference Memos #1 and #2. Make sure to incorporate any feedback on your first two memos from your instructors. Review at least two categories of existing solutions (reviewing more may lead to a stronger memo). For each category: Provide a concise description of what the solution aims to do, how it works, who it involves and how it is funded. Clearly state whether this type of solution targets the causes or consequences of your target problem. Describe one specific example and provide a citation of the website for this solution (or a news article documenting this solution). Analyze the strengths of this type of solution. Use at least one course concept in your analysis to explain how this solution is potentially successful. Analyze the weaknesses of this type of solution. Use at least one course concept in your analysis to explain how this solution is potentially limited/ineffective. Conclude with a summary of the “opportunity space.” Based on your review of the categories of solutions in the previous sections, which aspects of the problem are least well addressed by existing solutions? Where are the most promising opportunities for your original solution? Answer these questions persuasively in order to convince the reader that your potential solution will address a need that is unmet by existing solutions.
Mass media have been evolving for more than 500 years. As each medium develops, it relies on the previous medium for content, audiences, and even business models. For instance, when television was first developed, it was described as radio with pictures, or as a combination of radio and film. The first television networks were owned and operated by those that owned the radio networks. And the content of television relied on old movies, as well as stars and programs imported from radio. Technological evolution relies on discoveries and experiments in lots of related fields, and the application of those discoveries in the media context. Because most of media is storytelling of one kind or another, we need both the artists that can tell stories and the scientists that can apply new technologies to create each new medium. In the capitalist system, we also need the businesses that can create and maintain the mass media networks to distribute those stories to us (and charge us for the privilege). How much do you know about the technologies that provide your favorite television show? Is it shot on film or tape or computer discs? How does it get from the television studio to you?
define, in your own words, the concept "communication competence." Explain how lack of communication can affect an individual. Explain how communication and culture intertwine Next, share an example of when you demonstrated communication competence, such as choosing the right response in a difficult situation or displaying skill at listening to and comprehending difficult material. Specifically, which of the characteristics of communication competence outlined in your textbook did you demonstrate? What were the results? How did you feel? Activity 2 define, in your own words, "self-concept" and explain how it relates to "self-esteem." Next, consider how your social roles impact your self-concept and self-esteem. Our social roles are determined by our closest relationships, such as son, brother, friend, significant other, father, etc. How we act, think about ourselves, and feel about ourselves often changes based on which social role we’re playing. share the social role you are most comfortable playing and share an example of how you typically act while in that role. In what ways does playing this role influence how you communicate? How does this role impact your self-concept and self-esteem?
Thinking about media can be difficult because so much of our daily lives is transacted through media. On a day-to-day basis, we may not give it much more thought than tying our shoes or driving our car. (In fact, some people try to use media while doing both of these things -- and that's part of the point!) We spend almost two thirds of our waking hours using media, either consciously or subconsciously. Much of this media use is intentional, and much of the time we use more than one medium at a time. In fact, if you are an average American, you spend about 5 1/2 hours each day using mass media while doing something else; however, you spend another 5 1/2 hours using media exclusively, much of that on a cellphone. That means more than 11 hours a day, every day, you are using at least one form of media. How much time each day do you spend with media? Where do you go to 'get away' from media, including social media (is this even possible in your life)? Do you use more or less media than you did at an earlier period of your life?

Unsubscribed Discussion Topic: "Girl""Girl" Read Jamaica Kincaid's prose poem, "Girl," below: Wash the white clothes on Monday and put them on the stone heap; wash the color clothes on Tuesday and put them on the clothesline to dry; don’t walk bare-head in the hot sun; cook pumpkin fritters in very hot sweet oil; soak your little cloths right after you take them off; when buying cotton to make yourself a nice blouse, be sure that it doesn’t have gum in it, because that way it won’t hold up well after a wash; soak salt fish overnight before you cook it; is it true that you sing benna in Sunday school?; always eat your food in such a way that it won’t turn someone else’s stomach; on Sundays try to walk like a lady and not like the slut you are so bent on becoming; don’t sing benna in Sunday school; you mustn’t speak to wharf-rat boys, not even to give directions; don’t eat fruits on the street—flies will follow you; but I don’t sing benna on Sundays at all and never in Sunday school; this is how to sew on a button; this is how to make a buttonhole for the button you have just sewed on; this is how to hem a dress when you see the hem coming down and so to prevent yourself from looking like the slut I know you are so bent on becoming; this is how you iron your father’s khaki shirt so that it doesn’t have a crease; this is how you iron your father’s khaki pants so that they don’t have a crease; this is how you grow okra—far from the house, because okra tree harbors red ants; when you are growing dasheen, make sure it gets plenty of water or else it makes your throat itch when you are eating it; this is how you sweep a corner; this is how you sweep a whole house; this is how you sweep a yard; this is how you smile to someone you don’t like too much; this is how you smile to someone you don’t like at all; this is how you smile to someone you like completely; this is how you set a table for tea; this is how you set a table for dinner; this is how you set a table for dinner with an important guest; this is how you set a table for lunch; this is how you set a table for breakfast; this is how to behave in the presence of men who don’t know you very well, and this way they won’t recognize immediately the slut I have warned you against becoming; be sure to wash every day, even if it is with your own spit; don’t squat down to play marbles—you are not a boy, you know; don’t pick people’s flowers—you might catch something; don’t throw stones at blackbirds, because it might not be a blackbird at all; this is how to make a bread pudding; this is how to make doukona; this is how to make pepper pot; this is how to make a good medicine for a cold; this is how to make a good medicine to throw away a child before it even becomes a child; this is how to catch a fish; this is how to throw back a fish you don’t like, and that way something bad won’t fall on you; this is how to bully a man; this is how a man bullies you; this is how to love a man, and if this doesn’t work there are other ways, and if they don’t work don’t feel too bad about giving up; this is how to spit up in the air if you feel like it, and this is how to move quick so that it doesn’t fall on you; this is how to make ends meet; always squeeze bread to make sure it’s fresh; but what if the baker won’t let me feel the bread?; you mean to say that after all you are really going to be the kind of woman who the baker won’t let near the bread? And here's a link to the video we watched in class of Jamaica Kincaid reading the text aloud.Links to an external site. Given the tone of the piece, and the information we're given throughout, what do you make of the last line? What do you think the mother is really communicating to her daughter? Use evidence from the poem in your response. This doesn't have to be a long response, but it should be complete. And don't be afraid to be wrong and/or have fun with your interpretation. Anything is right, as long as it can be supported by the words within the story.
