Sociology 311

January 7, 2020 2 Comments APA, English and Literature

Our goal is to have lively discussion of this weeks reading on discourse community and to help each other develop and deepen our understanding of why knowing our audience, context, and purpose are crucial to successful writing. My hope is that discussing as a class the who, what, and why of written communication will motivate your work this term and help you get to know what your colleagues value in this work. Note: I will usually break up the discussion board into smaller groups of 5 or 6, so the reading is more manageable. But for Week One, I’d like us all to introduce ourselves to each other.

Task

Develop a primary post that responds to the following prompt by Thursday, 11:59pm. I encourage you to post earlier in the week to get our discussion going!

Introduce yourself to the group and describe a community to which you belong or would like to belong that has significance for you. It can be any community: one connected to school, your family, a fan community, an interest/hobby group, an online group, a professional group, a religious group, etc. You are welcome to post a pic of yourself or a pic related to the community you’ve chosen to discuss.
Answer the questions: What are the unique characteristics of communicating within this community? What purpose(s) does communicating serve in this community? You might think about languages spoken, group-specific terminology, online versus in-person communication, written communication, casual versus formal communication style, who gets to speak, sharing ideas/knowledge, accomplishing tasks, etc.
Conclude your post with a specific, open-ended question* for the rest of the group about discourse in your community or the concept of discourse community, drawing from this weeks reading. Your question should develop logically from your response to the prompt.

emergency management

January 7, 2020 3 Comments APA, Law

Follow these steps to complete this assignment:

    Conduct a Risk Assessment on a specific target in your community, a school, hospital, business or government office (be sure to choose an actual specific target for this assignment).  For a shot at max pointsLink the real world event, to at least three specific course resources (cite specific page numbers, charts, graphs etc in the course textbook, power points slide and or other course material).  The key is to cite specifics and highlight these in yellow!!
    Next describe the natural, technical or man-made hazard which is most likely to threaten your target. For example, the Ambassador hotel in my town of Mayberry is most likely to face a natural hazard such as a tornado. Mayberry is a small Midwestern town so terrorism and earthquakes are unlikely to occur. However, the threat from tornadoes are a real possibility.
    Conduct specific  historical research that applies to your target of past hazards to establish a baseline for how much risk your community faces from this hazard. What is the frequency of this hazard? Is it predictable and or cyclical (tornado or hurricane season)?
    Describe the specific impact of the hazard and the loss of your target would have on your community.
    Discuss how the risk to your target can be mitigated?
    Which agencies and or private entities may be involved in the risk analysis process and mitigation process.
    Be sure to demonstrate your understanding of the terms and concepts associated with Risk. For example, RISK (R) can be calculated as follows: R = f (C, V, T)

    C = the CONSEQUENCES of an attack on a particular target
    V = an assessment of the VULNERABILITY of the target
    T = the THREAT or likelihood that a specific target will suffer an attack or disaster
