Communication and Media

Transmission media is the path between the sender and the receiver. Transmission media is classified as 1) guided (such as cable and twisted wire) and 2) unguided (which is usually referred to as wireless transmission). Additionally, the medium is controlled by the error-detection process (error detection and correction) to ensure transmission accuracy. A parity check is an approach to error detection. In ASCII transmissions, the value bit is selected so that each 7-bit character is attached a 1 for even or odd parity. The receiving end will check, and if a 1 is inverted to 0, an error is detected. In addition, lost frames and damaged frames can occur when data is sent in-frame sequence. Error control techniques include positive acknowledgment, retransmission after a time-out, negative acknowledgment, and retransmission. Additionally, as an example of satellite transmission media, Kepler’s law is reviewed for calculating the period a signal reaches earth for satellite transmissions. The orbit section and assignment were extracted from Forouzan (2007, p. 479). SLP 2 reviews sections 7 and 9 of the Data Communication and Networking e-textbook. Orbit An artificial satellite needs to have an orbit—the path in which it travels around the Earth. The orbit can be equatorial, inclined, or polar. The period of a satellite, the time required for a satellite to make a complete trip around the Earth, is determined by Kepler’s law, which defines the period as a function of the distance of the satellite from the center of the Earth. Example 1 What is the period of the Moon, according to Kepler’s law? Period:::: C x distance1.5 Here C is a constant approximately equal to 1/100. The period is in seconds and the distance in kilometers. Solution The Moon is located approximately 384,000 km above the Earth. The radius of the Earth is 6,378 km. Applying the formula, we get: Example 2 According to Kepler’s law, what is the period of a satellite that is located at an orbit approximately 35,786 km above the Earth? Solution Applying the formula, we get: This means that a satellite located at 35,786 km has a period of 24 h (hours), which is the same as the rotation period of the Earth. A satellite like this is said to be stationary to the Earth. The orbit is called a geosynchronous orbit. SLP 2 Assignment Lookup the altitude of a Globalstar satellite on the Internet. Use Kepler’s formula to check the accuracy of a given period and altitude for a Globalstar satellite. Use the following exponent calculator to estimate the period. http://www.rkm.com.au/CALCULATORS/CALCULATOR-powers.html Submit the assignment answer in a 2- to 3-page Word document (excluding cover page and references) and explain how you arrived at the period using the Kepler’s formula. SLP Assignment Expectations The report should: Demonstrate a clear understanding of the subject and address all key elements of the assignment.

You are to select a film and examine several theories of interpersonal communication discussed in your text to see how they are portrayed in the film. The focus will be on how communication is used to initiate, maintain, and terminate relationships. The film will serve as a vehicle for learning about interpersonal communication and relationships. You will analyze what the film has shown the ways people relate to one another. The paper should be 3-5 pages long, with a bibliography of at least two sources. Your textbook can be one of the sources. DO NOT go under two and a half or over four and a half pages. Your analysis should focus on issues of communication, incorporating material from the readings, your online assignments. You will need a strong introduction and a conclusion in this paper as well as identify three or four points (concepts) that you found most enlightening, controversial, or even possibly incorrect. You will be expected to discuss what individuals did, what happened, and why. Relevant communication theory and text material should be introduced for each example. You should write this paper as if you were going to demonstrate your expertise and knowledge to an individual that has little or no knowledge of communication theory. That “pretend reader” should learn a lot from reading your paper. The paper should be 3-5 pages, word-processed, double-spaced, 12pt Times New Roman font, with a cover page. You must cite the course textbook using MLA formatting. When saving your document, include your last name and the assignment, and save as either a Microsoft Word file (.doc or .docx) or a Rich Text File (.rtf). Submit this paper in the appropriate assignment dropbox in Blackboard by the deadline. Course Objectives: 1. Recognize the components of the communication process and the types of communication in which human beings engage (one-on-one, group and public speaking). 2. Students will recognize and accommodate gender and cultural differences in communication settings and appreciate diverse communication styles. 3. Students will describe the role of free speech in a democratic society and be able to critically evaluate and analyze the message and delivery style of public speakers. Chapter Objectives: By completing this assignment, students will be able to: 1. Define intimacy and describe a range of options for conveying intimate messages. 2. Analyze the themes of a close relationship using both Knapp’s model of relationship development and the dialectical model. 3. Explain the different conflict management styles. 4. Distinguish between constructive styles and methods of dealing with interpersonal conflict. 5. Analyze both Verbal and Nonverbal communication in relationships. 6. Apply the communication process and perception in interpersonal relationships. The great news is that interpersonal communication can be tied into many chapters that we have already discussed in the course this semester. Some topics you might choose to discuss: ? Perception in interpersonal relationships. ? Communication Process ? Models of Communication ? Theses of a close relationship using both Knapp’s model of relationship development and the dialectical model. ? Conflicts in relationships and the methods and styles of dealing with interpersonal conflict. ? Listening ? Self-Concept ? Non-VerbalCommunication ? Verbal Communication Select as many concepts/theories that apply to the film. Do not hesitate to go beyond and think outside of the box. As you watch the film, you may want to take notes and have yo

Using the following 3 sources ” Benefits of dog ownership: Comparative study of equivalent samples,” “Dogs and Humans Health/Mental health: from the pleasure of their company to the benefits of their assistance,” and “Companion dog acquisition and mental well-being: a community-based three-arm controlled study” I need a speech preparation outline including a bibliography.

This part of the paper requires you to go through various publicly accessible databases to examine how a given public (American or otherwise) stands on your topic. Length estimate: 6-8 pages (really depends on topic). Topic: public opinion about data privacy geographically comparison between Asia, US and EU Questions to think of for this final project: What are the views of data privacy in each specific region? What are the key similarities and differences? Since each country would have different views on data privacy, I think it is important to focus views of each specific region. Through finding out the different viewpoints, we could find a pattern of similarities and differences in each region and compare them together. The views of data privacy would have an effect on the public opinion for each region. In order to understand the effects of public opinion, we would have to focus on the research of the basics. Since the citizens have different views, there would be diverse types of data privacy within the region. How does public opinion on data privacy change in relation to the use of data? This question helps us determine what the public in each region might deem “acceptable” versus what is “unacceptable” use of data. Through this question, we can explore how public opinion might change on data privacy when the institutions collecting it are more or less transparent about their use of data, and also find similarities or differences in where each public “draws the line”, so to speak. How does surveillance tie into public opinion on data privacy? Surveillance capitalism is an open discussion in the U.S., and this system is also very essential for contributing to the economy. So it could create a huge impact if this system must make a change for a response to the public opinion. When the issue is openly discussed, and the public has the opportunity to access this information, how would the public view the pros and cons of data surveillance? Also, is there a transparent discussion about data privacy in every region across these areas? Do governments, institutions, and cooperation openly share their data sources and data usage? Does the fact have or not having a discussion on data privacy affect public opinions?

You will select a group in society that you think is marginalized (treated unfairly or faces inequality) and correlate the study of communication and intercultural communication to it. This will be a 5-page double spaced written essay. Select a group in society that you think is treated unfairly or faces inequality. You may choose any group that you believe faces inequality. For example, African Americans, Asians, Hispanics, Native Americans, LGBTQ, immigrants, etc.…You must be able to prove these biases from a society based on research and evidence. To begin you will define communication and the importance of intercultural communication. You may discuss the historical aspects of intercultural communication and evolution over time. Then, discuss the marginalized group you selected and correlate it to a concept/chapter in the textbook. Discuss the origins (history: when, where, and how did they start) of this cultural group and the treatment that they have received past and present (when/where/why did the inequality start). Finally, provide suggestions on how (you think) the inequality can be ended or reduced. The analysis will be a 5-page typed (double spaced) paper about the topic. Remember to include an introduction, body, and summary in the paper. Please check your grammar and spelling by using Spell Check. The paper should be in proper MLA and include a title page and works cited (bibliography for sources) page. So, you should be submitting a total of 7 pages (1 title, 5 research, 1 work cited).

For this assignment, there is a broad list of topics that can be discussed, such as VR, hyperreality, haptic engagement, phenomenology etc…  Within time, developed technology stripped the audience away from sensory experience by replacing real life experiences with digital alternatives for the sole reason of practicality; in order to be more accessible or reach a greater audience.  Doesn’t the evolution of things get in the way of an authentic feel?  No doubt creativity and media are interdependent, but the domination of the cyber world makes it harder to attain the real feel.
