Use standard APA formatting for this assignment (12-point, double-spaced, Times New Roman type, one-inch margins, cover page, etc.) There is no required length, but responses need to answer the questions fully, including details/examples from the movie/film, and demonstrate that you understand the material covered overall in class and can relate it to the film.You should include specific details and examples. Be sure to list the answers below the questions, so do NOT write this in essay format. The first step in this assignment is selecting a movie/film to analyze based on concepts in Interpersonal Communication. One season of a television show will also work for this assignment, but going beyond one season is likely too much. Start with a one paragraph general overview of the film, then respond to the following:  1.You have analyzed the characteristics of a competent communicator. Which character in this film do you think is the most competent communicator based on the traits we discussed? Why? 2.As you learned in this course, culture and gender have a big impact on the way we communicate. What are some of the culture and gender differences that effect interpersonal communication in the movie? Provide at least two for culture and two for gender. 3.Perception influences every aspect of communication. Explain how the main character’s perceptions likely affect their relationships. Then explain how your own perception influences the way you view the movie.   4.As we know, language is a big factor in interpersonal communication. Give at least 3 examples of language use in the movie between some of the main characters. 5.While language is important, we also know that nonverbal communication plays a major role in how we communicate (content vs. relational message). There are likely many facial expressions in the movie, among other nonverbal expressions, that say a lot more than words.  Give at least 3 examples of nonverbal communication in the movie. 6.How does listening impact the way the characters in the movie relate to one another? Give at least two examples. 7.How do the main characters portray their emotions? Give three examples. 8.As we know, conflict and power are a big part of our interaction with others. Give two examples of how conflict and/or power were displayed in the movie. 9.The communication climate is another important aspect to consider when analyzing a communication situation. Explain one example of a supportive communication climate in the film. 10.Also describe one example of a defensive climate. 11.Your choice – select any other aspect of Interpersonal Communication that has not already been discussed in the questions above and explain how it relates to the movie. For example, you could talk about some of the later chapters in the text. How is social exchange theory evident in the film?  In what ways are Knapp’s Relational Stages portrayed?   Pick out anything else you’d like to (that hasn’t been mentioned already in the first nine questions). Submission Expectations

Paper Length– The required length is from 1800 to 2500 words.  The word count of your paper must appear at the bottom of the last page of text. Sources:   Your paper must be based on at least eight appropriate sources. Internet Sources– No more than half your sources may be from the Internet.  Capitalize the word “Internet.”  Online proprietary databases are not considered Internet sources. Dictionaries and Encyclopedias that have print editions from which the online editions are taken are not counted towards your Internet sources. Newspapers and magazines are not counted as Internet sources. If you find material from The New York Times quoted in an article on another Internet site, that quote counts as an Internet source. Books that are available online are not considered Internet sources. Note: your first and last stop in doing research for your paper should not only be Google.  While indespensible, Google and the other general Search Engines are too vast and produce results which might not be suitable for academic research. Try Google Scholar and Touro Library databases such as Proquest and Ebsco Host. Academic Suitability– Your sources are required to be academically suitable.  Read the following carefully.  Not to Be Used You may not use student written essays as sources You may not use essays posted on the various “free essay” sites available on the World Wide Web as sources. You may not use the home pages of individuals as your sources; however, exceptions might be made for distinctly authoritative sources. While a few do have academic merit, most blogs are not suitable.  May Be Used You may use an encyclopedia, whether general or specialized; Wikipedia may only be used for background information and for links and references. If you are using a dictionary to define a term, you must list that dictionary’s bibliographic information on your works cited page. Note: this will not count as one of your ten required sources. It is expected that students will need to define terms and will need to use a dictionary to do so. You may use any of the proprietary databases available through the Touro Virtual Library; for example, Ebscohost, ProQuest etc. You may use most articles from any of the journals in these databases as they are, for the most part, juried journals. When in doubt, ask your instructor. You may use most of the sources found in the Literature Center in the Touro Virtual Library (see the exceptions above).   Print Sources You may use material taken from major newspapers, either from the actual print edition or from the collections available through the Virtual Library. Keep in mind that The New York Times is a major newspaper, but The Daily News is not.  You may use articles that have appeared in the Sunday Times Magazine and in other general circulation periodicals, such as Newsweek, The New Yorker, Psychology Today, Business Week, Scientific American Note: exercise care here; many articles in these publications are not appropriate for academic papers. When in doubt, ask your instructor. You may use books in the Touro Library collections that are specific to your topic.   Quotation Sources There are a number of quotation sources available both in print and online, such as Bartlett’s Quotations and Brainyquotes.com. Should you take a quotation from any of these types of sources, you must include it in your Works Cited listing.  However, a quotation from such a source will not count as one of your 10 required outside sources.  If you feel that a particular quotation you find in one of these quotation sources is necessary for your paper, you will need to do the research to find that quotation in the work that originally contained that quotation.  For example, if you find a quotation from “The Declaration of Independence” in a quotation source, you will need to get to an actual, authoritative copy of the “Declaration” and use that as the source on your Works Cited page.  If a quotation in one of these types of quotation sources is taken from a speech, you will need to research and find an authoritative source that gives a copy of that speech.  In short, quotations may indeed support the points you are making, but they will be counted towards your 10 required outside sources ONLY if they come from authoritative sources and only if there is additional material taken from the authoritative source that you discuss in your own words.

First, read this about Gate Keeping theory and Lewin: http://communicationtheory.org/gatekeeping-theory/comment-page-1/  Second, read this about Agenda Setting theory and about Maxwell McCombs and Donald L. Shaw:  https://web.archive.org/web/20111011112220/http://www.agendasetting.com/index.php/agenda-setting-theory https://masscommtheory.com/theory-overviews/agenda-setting-theory/ Finally, grab some unhealthy salty snacks and a sugary beverage, settle down and watch Noam Chomsky’s Manufacturing Consent Documentary (recorded in the early 90s but still very relevant): https://youtu.be/EuwmWnphqII?t=1399 Now, this is pretty intense stuff, so you might want to watch and re-watch the first 30 minutes of this especially until you get the general points that Chomsky is trying to make. (Psst – the really important part starts at 23:35 when Chomsky offers an explanation of his theory). A notable part is when Chomsky says ““The point is you have to work. And that’s why the propaganda system is so successful. Very few people are going to have the time, or the energy, or the commitment, to carry out the constant battle that’s required, to get outside of MacNeil/Lehrer, or Dan Rather, or somebody like that. The easy thing to do [is] come home from work, you’re tired, just had a busy day, you’re not going to spend the evening carrying on a research project, so you turn on the tube, say it’s probably right, look at the headlines of the paper, then you watch sports or something. That’s basically how the system of indoctrination works. Sure, the other stuff is there but you’re going have to work to find it.” These three theories, gate keeping theory, agenda setting theory and manufacturing consent theory are presented here in chronological order. Each theory is interested in how the media is used or created to influence or affect public opinion and knowledge on certain issues. Each theory is a building block of all issues concerning media and society. Indeed, feel free to do some Google searches on these theories to supplement what is presented here. You will have to read carefully their assertions and really think about whether you believe that these theories deserve merit, or whether they are akin to being outlandish conspiracy theories in what they say about those who control and create the mass media. There are indeed flaws to these theories, and you can probably identify them if you really think about it. However, the question that I am asking you is pretty straightforward: According to Lewin, McCombs with Shaw, and Chomsky, what do their theories say about how the viewers or consumers of media are manipulated by what they see, hear and read?

Gunn is famous for having a large and colorful vocabulary. Do you think it makes him a clear communicator? Why or why not? Provides examples of equivocal words, slang, and jargon that Gunn uses in the video and explain why the words are confusing. Last, identify examples of Gunn using either convergence or divergence when speaking with others. Please create your own thread and write  a response to each question and provide an explanation for your answers. This is video link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uP7zGF6orAI Also I want you to response these two. 1.I think having a large and colorful vocabulary doesn’t make Mr. Gunn a good communicator because when he talks his team has a difficulty in understanding him. For example when Mr. Gunn was talking to the first designer, the designer said ” Half the time when he say something I’m like I’m gonna have to figure it out” which tells us that the designer was confused by what Mr. Gunn is talking about.  Mr. Gunn’s language involves Jargon because he uses the type of jargon that is for those who are well educated and they are not for the designers. Which is the reason why the team has a hard time understanding him. 2 .I believe Tim Gunn is a good communicator because he has a strong vocabulary but at the same time, he needs to learn that most people won’t understand the big words he uses. I think most of it is due to the cameras being around and the fame he gets from it. His vocabulary has to do a lot with his work in the fashion industry in my opinion, so he has learned words that have to do with fashion around the world. I think he involves a lot of fashion slang and different words he learned in different countries. Most of the people he talks to day to day probably understand him so that why I also think he uses such a diverse vocabulary.

This author whose perspectives on crisis communication should certainly reflect is Timothy Coombs. I would like this so-called research to highlight the most important aspects / rules of crisis communication, which to keep in mind and to compare the views of different authors.

After reviewing the Free Hugs resources provided, first ask yourself what you liked about the verbal and non-verbal messages you saw and heard.  Then consider how your interpretation of the video changed after reading about it.  For this discussion, describe two situations in your own life (one verbal and one non-verbal) where you feel that you have communicated poorly.  Refer to specific information given in the text, videos, and web pages to discuss how you could have enhanced your communication in the situations you described Videos you need for reference: https://youtu.be/vr3x_RRJdd4 https://youtu.be/E6NTM793zvo

Use a memo format with section headings, bulleted lists, charts (where appropriate), and brief endnotes. Criteria: Please apply principles of clarity, style, accuracy, and academic honesty to the assignment. Refer to original document(s) when identifying news stories. Also consider secondary material such as course readings, news articles, and databases. Although this assignment is not an essay, please consult the guide to writing essays in the Course Information. Topic: Provide a media organization ethics committee with a thorough, clear, and relatively short critical examination of three specific ethical problems and possible solutions for the problems.   Begin the memo with one of the definitions of “news” from the reading material for this course. As well, describe three ethical paths, and explore the ethical responsibilities, choices, and dilemmas facing news-gathering journalists from the perspective of one of these paths.   Then choose three examples of journalism, from a single media organization or group, that pose ethical problems, such as invasion of privacy, fabricated stories, composite sources (i.e., fictional sources that are part one person, part another), or plagiarism. (These samples should be publicly accessible, so the tutor can review them.) Critique the examples you have chosen from the perspective of one of the three ethical paths. For each of the three cases, analyze the extent to which ethical concerns conflict with (or are outweighed by) personal, professional, political, or corporate interests. Finally, suggest three remedies for avoiding ethical breaches in the future. Consider:       1. The context within which news is gathered, selected, written up/represented as images or sound, and then disseminated   2. A brief historical survey of the development of news   3. Whether there is general agreement (or disagreement) among journalists about ethical standards/best practices   4. The distinctions between truth, objectivity, and storytelling   5. Whether journalists should follow their own conscience   6. Whether media organizations should police themselves or be subject to independent public scrutiny
