  • Synchrony
  • Secure attachment
  • Social referencing
  • Attachment and prosocial behavior/empathy in young children
  • Attachment and emotion regulation in young children
  • Attachment and the development of spirituality in children

Next, conduct research on your topic/concept:

  • Search the library for scholarly articles that provide further information about your chosen concept.
  • Search the Internet for additional resources.
  • From all resources you reviewed, select three that you find most relevant. At least two sources must be from scholarly journals.
  • Study and reflect on the additional information you found.

music

May 7, 2020 Leave a comment APA, Art

One of the pieces must relate directly to the Western art music tradition and the other piece may or may not relate to this tradition.The choice is up to you, but you may not use pieces discussed as examples in a module or that are LGs. You may use new pieces by composers discussed in class.

For your Module 4 Blog entry you must:

Embed the YouTube videos so that your instructor may access the music directly. (2 YT videos total)
Provide the title of the piece with its corresponding composer and/or performer (for example, Symphony no. 7, movement 2, Allegretto; Ludwig van Beethoven; London Philharmonic) as text in your entry. (2 titles and composers and/or performers total).
For EACH YouTube piece articulate (1) how the YouTube piece relates to the module topic; (2) what type of meaning the piece holds for you or other audiences (for example the reason why you chose the piece might be linked to a personal meaning or a larger cultural/political/philosophical meaning); and, (3) how is the meaning described above linked to sound in particular (read: musical elements). Feel free to use Wikipedia to investigate the pieces, but NEVER plagiarize or quote text from outside sources consulted on the pieces. Any information regarding the pieces in your entries must be written IN YOUR OWN WORDS. You will receive an automatic zero-grade for the Musical Meaning Blog if you plagiarize text from an outside source.
You must address the 3 questions above in 300 to 400 words PER YouTube piece. This means for each 1 of the 3 Blogger entries you will need to write 600 to 800 words.
Once you have completed an entry in your MMB, publish your blog. Click on view and then copy that URL. Please make sure the URL does NOT have the word “editor” in it: if this is the case, your Blogger page has not been published and can only be viewed by you, the creator. Go back and publish it. Then click on view to copy the URL. Never click share to copy your URL because you need a Google + profile to do this. If you are using a limited Blogger profile you will not be able to do this.

Tobacco use is the primary cause of mortality in the United States today. Tobacco use is responsible for cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and heart disease and has caused the deaths of nearly half a million people per year. Tobacco control, prevention, and treatment are compelling and urgent public health issues. The development of tobacco control laws have been passed by a number of states.

Write a comprehensive overview of the health effects, politics, and regulatory control of tobacco use control efforts. Your paper should be based on the following points:

  • What are the factors (biological, environmental, economic, and political) that contribute to tobacco addiction? What are the medical consequences (morbidity and mortality) for tobacco users?
  • What is the public health impact (epidemiological and economic) of tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure?
  • How do tobacco control regulations relate to positive and normative economics?
  • How do tobacco control regulations impact individual health care
  • What is the public health policy regarding tobacco control? What is the role of the state and Federal Government in policy making?
  • What is the history of regulatory tobacco control? What is the current state of tobacco control in the United States (states that have passed tobacco control regulations)?
  • What is the evidence that tobacco control is effective?

Based on your understanding, create a 6- to 7-page Microsoft Word document that includes the answers to the above questions. You need a minimum of five scholarly sources that should be in APA format for both in-text citations and citations on the reference page.

Intercultural Experience

May 7, 2020 Leave a comment English and Literature, MLA

Overview.
Experiencing intercultural communication happens beyond a classroom. For this assignment, you will have the opportunity to engage with and learn about a culture at CSUN that is different from your own and one you know very little about. Get out of your comfort zone. Choose something that is not easy. Brainstorm a culture you will study for the semester. A culture that is different than yours, that you rarely interact with (or maybe never), has had a history of conflict with a culture you belong to, misunderstood by a culture you belong to, etc. You have many possibilities and opportunities. Learn something new.
Research.
In these series of papers, you will conduct research about the culture. Research means you will find articles, books, journals, videos, documentary, and more. You are required to research through experiencing the culture first hand and engaging with the group=ethnography. You will observe the people, behaviors, communication, and patterns. Does it reflect the research that you find in the books, articles, media, etc.? This is your field experience. This means you will observe AND engage/ participate with this culture not just as a bystander. Talking to one person from a different culture does not count as the minimum of engagement. Observing and talking to a group of more than 3 is what I am expecting. Some options include: attending a meeting, event, ritual, or spend time at where people from the culture hang out/meet, or occupy a cultural space. As you do your field experience, you will also support your understanding of the culture through library research. There are various ways you can engage with a cultural group, the first step is to research and explore the campus.

For paper 1, you do not need to engage with the culture just yet. You will write your first paper based on knowledge that has been communicated to you and additional research (from current events, books, magazines, and articles) you will conduct about that culture. If you have a chance to engage with the group, you can include that in your analysis. 2. You must have read chapters 1-4, participated in the discussions, and watched lecture videos to better understand, analyze, and apply concepts pertaining to the culture.
1.    Paper 1 requirements: o Choose one focused topic relating to what we have covered. Focus on one bullet point: ! Relationship between communication and this culture:
2.    Focus on 1 aspect of this culture and analyze a specific part of that culture using the 3 definitions: (anthropological, cultural studies, and globalization definition from Chapter 1). For example, beauty standards of this culture, religion, marriage, relationships, what it means to be that culture, etc. What do you know and/or heard about this culture? Are the meanings associated with them shared (anthropological) or contested with your culture or across cultures? How has this communicated to you? ! Explain the impact on (economic, political, and/or cultural) globalization. Describe the historical contexts surrounding the movement of this culture in the US (globally) and CSUN (locally). What is the historical relationship between this group and other groups (particularly the dominant cultural groups or your group)? ! Body politics: Impact of race and white privilege in this group; How is age, gender, and/or sexuality of the people you interacted with shaped their views and experiences (in the university and on a larger scale)? ! Cultural Space: Describe a cultural space(s) this group occupies at our CSUN campus or the surrounding community. What meanings are attached to this space and people? How is this space segregated and/or integrated? How is this cultural space hybrid- negotiated, transformed? Remember to focus on one topic and elaborate. I do not want you to answer all the above bullet points. You can focus on one question under the bullet point and elaborate. Explain, elaborate, give examples from your research or experiences. o Works Cited page with a minimum of 6 sources: ! Five primary, sources outside the book. Since you do not know anything about this culture, the information must come from somewhere. ! One Course reading ! Properly cite your sources. Include it within your text and on a Works Cited Page.
