Communication Strategies

1) Give a brief synopsis of the movie. 2) Utilize at least three theoretical concepts from your textbook that apply to the movie. Make sure you define each theoretical concept in the essay and use APA format if needed for paraphrased or quoted material.   Be sure to provide multiple, specific examples from the movie for each concept you discuss AND to provide an analysis linking your examples to the concepts. 4) After discussing/analyzing each concept, provide some commentary on how well each concept applies to our day-to-day lives. If you think the concept is valuable, tell me why. If you think it is worthless, explain that as well. 5) Make a brief assessment of the learning value of this experience. Did the movie accurately present interpersonal communication? What did you learn from watching the movie? What did you learn from analyzing the concepts from Floyd?

Please identify an organization either real or fictitious, and analyze it in terms of organizational communication.  Scenario: Imagine that you are a manager of a real or fictitious small to medium-sized business where you have middle managers who report to you.  A business where the company has experienced rapid growth and is struggling to manage an expanded workforce.  A business where the company is facing closure due to a variety of uncontrollable factors. A business where the company has decided to reorganize in order to better address market forces. A business where there is increased competition and is losing business and or/employees.  With this framework in mind, in your paper analyze the scenario you have chosen and address all of the following: Explain the methods and types of organizational communication that you should use to communicate with your managers and employees for the scenario you have chosen. Provide a rationale for your communication choices based on theories of organizational communication.  Analyze the different roles that organizational communication will play in your chosen scenario.  Describe the relationship between your organizational culture and the communication choices you have made. Evaluate the forces that are barriers to or will hinder effective communication. Analyze how your communication choices will facilitate trust and team building within the organization. Analyze how your communication choices will facilitate trust with external stakeholders such as customers and media. At least 3 credible, outside sources. Please include a mix of both primary and secondary sources with at least one source from a scholarly peer-reviewed journal.  Needs to be 2500 words.  I’m personally not an amazing writer, its college level, but doesn’t have to be written like I’m an English Major..lol

Paper #2 : ; Foot-In-The-Door; Expectancy Violation Theory; or Interpersonal Deception Theory (pick one) You should: 1) Briefly review all the major sections of a research article (rationale, methods, results and discussion) on either: Foot-In-The-Door, Expectancy Violation Theory, Interpersonal Deception Theory(pick one). The research piece (Human experimental only) must be taken from a communication journal (or related field) and cited using APA style (in-text and reference page). Use a library database to find the article. Make sure the journal is available first (in full text). 2) Provide a mass media example of this “concept” in action. For example, if the study you pick deals with FITD and employer/employee relations, this section and the following should have nothing to do with employer/employee relations. Provide logical support for how this example is in line with the communication concept. Don’t use examples from the research piece. The example should be taken from popular culture (books, films, commercials, billboards, Internet). i.e. you must provide enough detail about the example to make it clear how the example fits the concept you pick. Make sure you address all the context levels clearly, richly and directly. (Cited in APA in-text and References) 3) Provide a specific “Personal” and “interpersonal” (happen to you, for real, with someone you are close with) example of this concept being used. Provide logical support for how this example is in line with the communication concept. Make sure you address all the context levels in that interaction clearly, richly and directly. Papers will be graded based on: Clarity of writing. Completeness. Quality of examples and support. Organization (Intro, thesis, body, clear transitions and conclusion). Logic in drawing conclusions. Writing quality. The paper must be double-spaced, typed, and may not exceed 3.5 pages, excluding title page and references (using a 12pt. font, times new roman, 1inch margins all around). Use APA style for the whole paper. **I will provide school database login info through chat**

Please view the above cartoon, and discuss the issue of gender and language that this cartoon illustrates.  Additionally, describe at least two examples from your own life that demonstrate some differences in language between the genders.

You will briefly describe a relevant choice that someone might make about how to act, interact, or react in relation to that social issue. Then, you will fully describe and evaluate that choice using your knowledge of judgment and decision-making gained over the course of the term. What cognitive, affective, contextual, and social factors might be influencing such a choice, and how? Which of these are properties of the decision-maker, and which are properties of the task? You will choose at minimum FIVE (5) decisional factors to discuss in your paper, including theories and concepts from the readings and lectures. Discussing more than five decisional factors is encouraged, if you feel it is appropriate. You will provide a brief definition of each decisional factor in your own words; demonstrate that you know what the concept is before you apply it to your choice analysis. Don’t apply concepts if you don’t understand them.

In this reflection paper, you are asked to 1) describe a design of a persuasive narrative message (text-based or audio-visual) that will be released through some form of mass media; 2) analyze why (or why not) your message can influence your target audience’s decision making (e.g., persuade them to change their attitude or behavior). ——————— Choose ONE topic from the list below to design your persuasive narrative message on. If you are not interested in any of these topics, please propose your own topic to me via email. Professors should never be allowed to crush a student’s dream. Students shouldn’t be afraid to challenge a professor if they disagree with something. Changing a major isn’t the end of the world. Students shouldn’t drink or smoke just because they want to fit in. Students should not over commit themselves just to look good on their resumes. Persuade the government to pay the basic healthcare of students. Convincing a student to stay in college is very important. Never make hasty decisions on what to major in. It is important that students have a balanced life. Pregnancy shouldn’t be the end of a student’s college dream. Your persuasive message should be a narrative. Consider responding to the following questions while describing your message design: Who is (are) your protagonist for the narrative? Their gender? Age? Race(ethnicity)? Which mass media channel(s) will this message be released through? Who is your target audience? What kind of story line will the message use? Then, cite at least TWO theories or concepts you learned from this course (See the updated reference listPreview the document) to analyze why or why not your message can influence your target audience’s decision making. Things to consider for this section: what decision-making systems will your audience use to process the narrative? Will they identify with the characters in the narrative? Why or why not? What emotions do you expect the message will trigger in your audience? What kind of frame did you use in your narrative (gain frame? Lose frame? Others?) How will the factors above influence your audience’s decision making?

The capstone project for the course is a paper of 2,000 – 2,500 words, in the style of a research article. The sections should include: Introduction, Review of the Literature, Discussion, Recommendations. Purpose: This is a set of guidelines for how to read and evaluate your assigned case study. Description: You will choose one of several cases and analyze it through the prism of the material we have covered so far in class, using theory and evaluative frame. Produce a 2,000-2,500 word paper in APA Style analyzing the case. Activities: – Read your case straight through. – Read it a second time, paying close attention to the theoretical framework visible in the case. Note that theories will not be called out specifically in the text, but implied via the situation and actions of the actors in the case. – Decide on an evaluative frame – Will you analyze the case through a critical, post-positive or interpretive perspective? Will you contrast different ways of looking at the case? – Conduct a limited review of the scholarly literature on the issue or problem at hand (crisis communication, change management, strategic communication issues) and take note of what the existing research says. Capture citations and a few illustrative sentences to include in your discussion post. – Examine the case through the prism of the material we have covered in the text and in class. How is communication being used? Offer examples from the case in your paper.

1. Which model of communication (linear or transactional) discussed in Chapter One best represents communication described in the Youtube video, Love Letters to Strangers? In what ways does the video illustrate the characteristics of communication and that communication is (a) symbolic (What is symbolic?), (b), a process (What change(s) occurred as a result of communication?), (c) relational (How do people adapt to each other and/or influence each other’s behavior?)? 2. How do you think paper letters compare to emails, tweets, and text messages? don’t have to write 275 words 200 words are fine
