As usual, read all the questions BEFORE reading the text. The questions will guide your reading and understanding of the text. As you read, take notes related to all the questions. Then answer the question(s) assigned to you. Effective answers will vary in length (75-125 words per question).
You may read the whole text, but I suggest reading from the second half of page 3 when the author writes: We, now, have finally arrived at the point of this essay. Starting from this page will minimize the amount of text read and will help you focus more on the authors main argument. The first three pages allude to the current racial crisis in the U.S. and explain the Black Lives Matter movement which you have learned about from watching the suggested videos on canvas.
q1 Hannah-Jones writes: We, now, have finally arrived at the point of this essay. Because when it comes to truly explaining racial injustice in this country, the table should never be set quickly: There is too much to know, and yet we aggressively choose not to know it (p. 3). She then proceeds through a U.S. history lesson for us to understand where systemic racism comes from. Explain the historical event/phenomenon assigned to you and how it contributed to or tried to address systemic racism. You can learn more about the historical phenomenon by briefly looking up more information online (but it is not needed).
Redemption (pg6) to answer q1
q2 Hannah-Jones writes: To summarize, none of the actions we are told black people must take if they want to lift themselves out of poverty and gain financial stability not marrying, not getting educated, not saving more, now owning a home can mitigate 400 years of racialized plundering. Wealth begets wealth, and white Americans have had centuries of government assistance to accumulate wealth, while the government has the vast history of this country worked against black Americans doing the same (p. 8-9). Why doesnt getting a college education and owning a home help African Americans lift themselves and transform their social class?
q3 What do you think of the authors argument about reparations as a way to help African Americans in the U.S.? To what extent do you think reparations are needed and feasible in the current context of the U.S.? ALL
AUDIENCE AWARENESS and CRITICAL INFERENCES

2. While each of the four essays is obviously about something, that something being indicated in the title even, pretend you are an investigator of sorts who doesn’t necessarily just accept what someone says initially and proceed to unravel what you believe are deeper subjects and meanings in the work.
Please read the attached document and thoroughly respond to the prompt in continuous prose form (i.e. paragraphs, not bullet points, notes, etc.). Remember to proofread, check your spelling, and use proper grammar. Your writing should be formal in nature, which means no slang or contractions, all verbs, and their subjects must agree, and the text must adhere to all grammar rules. Poor execution will definitely negatively impact your assignment grade. Your work should reflect your knowledge (including research) of the weekly topic, meaning that it will be both thorough and comprehensive. Skimpy responses are not acceptable.

For this you will use minute 58:00-1:02:00 🙂
4) Type 600 word MINIMUM essay properly formatted; see syllabus that discusses and analyzes your clip in the context of your specific chosen film element. (((((I dont want a summary of the clip; I want analysis of your formal film aspect, as well as how and why it helps illuminate something important about the films content/style/genre, etc)))))
Pay attention to this analysis of the formal film aspect.

THIS IS THE RESPOND TO THE MAIN POST FOR DEE
This discussion three I have been waiting for someone to really have a great discussion regarding self-diagnosing with websites such as MD. I have also done this to myself before increasing my anxiety even more. Lost a whole night of sleeping feeling like death was knocking out my door. Last year I was able to convince myself after viewing Google for a couple of hours into thinking I had brain cancer. Yes! Brain cancer when the whole time after going to the doctor I was only suffering a migraine. A couple of test and health bills later I realize that it was not hard to self diagnose and stress myself out worsening my anxiety levels.
The article examines experiential associates of online searching side effect looking through utilizing approved clinical measures and information from a huge, self-chose, unknown web populace test who underwrite checking their physical symptoms for reassurance through online searching.
When human engage on the computer inattention to base rates of serious illnesses during internet-symptom-checking may create a uniquely dangerous environment for those predisposed to worry about their health which causes additional stress factors. The important factor that was mention was the increase in health literacy and health education. Increasing awareness helps with understanding how complex basic online searching can lead to Doherty-Torstrick (2016).
Jones (2015) touches the basis on the health belief model to achieve optimal behavior change if they successfully target perceived barriers, benefits, self-efficacy, and threats. While the model seems to be an ideal explanatory framework for communication research, theoretical limitations have limited its use in the field. To understand the failures of individuals to adopt disease prevention methodologies or screening tests for the early identification of ailment. I think the direct correlation is centered around one’s perception of the benefits and barriers related to health behavior.

Pick 2 questions and write at least 400 words for each question; that’s a total of at least 800 words.
To answer a question adequately, be sure to use facts as supporting evidence. No need to cite any facts if they come from the text or the lecture docs, but make sure you cite facts correctly wherever you get them. If you cite information from outside sources, you will need to cite those MLA style, but no need for a reference/works cited page or anything. Remember, in history factual errors are a cardinal sin.
