How does analyzing the relationship between history, culture, and popular culture have an influence on your discipline of study or chosen profession?

 

Over the past two weeks, our readings and discussions have been focused on establishing a baseline for understanding popular culture. In this module, we’ll begin our tour through the four lenses by beginning with history. As we dive into the four lenses, keep in mind that each lens is framed as a way of seeing the world around us and is not necessarily tied to the associated discipline. So, looking through the historical lens isn’t just about History Channel documentaries—it’s also about how you use the lens to understand the past and the present.

Each discussion is meant to be a collaborative space for conversation in which to process the concepts within the course. To ensure an interesting and respectful discussion, you are encouraged to think creatively about your initial posts and build upon the points made by your peers. Discussing challenges that face our world often means investigating opinions and ideas different from your own. Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful towards your peers and instructor in your discussion post and replies. It is also important to review the module resources and read the prompts in their entirety before participating in the discussion.
Create one initial post and follow up with at least two response posts.

For your initial post, address the following:

  1. Explore a contemporary area of popular culture by discussing how it came into existence.
    1. For instance, if you were discussing comic books, you could discuss how newspapers in the late 1800s began printing comic strips, which became popular enough that comic books emerged from this practice.
  2. How does looking through the history lens enhance your understanding of popular culture?
  3. How does analyzing the relationship between history, culture, and popular culture have an influence on your discipline of study or chosen profession?
which of the following would you use to approach this conflict?

 

Suppose that for the past two weeks, your department has been developing policy changes. During this time, your colleague was on vacation and did not participate in the process. When he returns, he doesn’t agree with a number of items and wants them changed. Because the policy changes are due the next day, which of the following would you use to approach this conflict? Thoroughly explain why you selected this option and how you intend to use it.

  1. Accommodation.
  2. Avoidance.
  3. Collaboration.

What is your overall impression of this assigned YouTube video?

The direct link is: Rainer Strack: The surprising workforce crisis of 2030 — and how to start solving it now

Please write three paragraphs of analysis, in the following format:

Paragraph 1: Because this Ted Talk has a date of 2014, find confirmatory evidence that what Mr. Strack mentioned (be it a fact, prediction, or proposed solution) still holds true. Be sure to use APA citations. When you are citing evidence, it is not common sense or your impression on things. You need to research some external piece of evidence and cite it using APA citations within the paragraph and be sure to state what specific evidence Mr. Strack discussed or showed that your evidence confirms.

Paragraph 2: Find disconfirming evidence, meaning evidence that suggest that something he said (either a fact, prediction, or solution) is NOT the same as when he stated it, or a prediction that is not coming into reality, or a solution that does not seem logical or wise. Be sure to use APA citations. When you are citing evidence, it is not common sense or your impression on things. You need to research some external piece of evidence and cite it using APA citations within the paragraph and be sure to state what specific evidence Mr. Strack discussed or showed that your evidence contradicts or disconfirms..

Paragraph 3: What is your overall impression of this assigned YouTube video? You are free to have any opinion that you please; simply be sure to support your impression with rationale. For instance you could start a sentence with: “I think that … because …” The “why” is very important.

Explain exceptions to the Miranda Rule, including examples.   

Overview   

Prior to the Miranda v Arizona ruling in 1966, law enforcement could question possible suspects without their having legal counsel present. They could bully potential suspects, trick them, and do whatever else they thought was necessary to determine potential suspects’ involvement in a crime. The Miranda ruling protects people by allowing them to have legal counsel present when questioned by law enforcement regarding a crime in which they may or may not have been involved.

This is a two-part assignment. Be sure to complete both parts.

Instructions

Part 1

In Part 1 of this assignment you are required to write a one- to two-page narrative in which you:

  • Summarize the Miranda Rule, including examples.
  • Explain exceptions to the Miranda Rule, including examples.
  • Develop a checklist with a series of questions to ask when assessing whether or not the Miranda Rule applies (for example, is your question a general one, such as name and date of birth? Or is it one that could make them vulnerable to prosecution?).

Part 2

In Part 2 of this assignment, you are required to examine the scenarios contained in the Miranda Rule or Exception Template [DOCX].

  • Note: The first scenario is completed for you as an example to guide your work on the remaining nine scenarios.

For each scenario:

  1. Determine for each scenario whether the Miranda Rule applies or an exception to it is in order.
  2. Justify your determinations.
  3. Use three sources to support your writing.
    • Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate.
    • Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment.
    • For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.
    • You may use your textbook as one of your resources.

 

Be sure to submit your one- to two-page narrative and the completed Miranda Rule or Exception Template to the assignment submission area.
