Assignment Instructions

Pawsitivity is a small, nonprofit animal shelter in Spokane. Tanya, the new Executive Director, has decided to host a fundraiser dinner and auction to raise money for the shelter. She’s invited 50 local business owners. During the event, she’ll present Pawsitivity’s 2018 Annual Report, so the donors will see what the shelter is accomplishing with their support. She’ll also need a spreadsheet with all of the event information in it, so she can keep track of ticket sales and auction earnings. Finally, she will need a slideshow to provide visuals while she speaks.

Throughout the course, you’ll be helping Tanya put together a Word document, an Excel workbook, and a PowerPoint presentation for the fundraiser. She’s sent you a starting point for each. Use your skills in Microsoft Office to create three appealing, professional files for Pawsitivity to use at the event.

  Assignment 2: Analyzing World Cultures

Media play a very large role in both the development and the perpetuation of cultural elements. You may never have watched a foreign movie or even clips evaluating other cultures. In this assignment, you will explore online videos or movies from a culture of your choice and analyze how cultural elements are presented, compared to your own culture.

Complete the following: Choose a world culture you are not familiar with. Identify two–three online videos or movies representative of this culture. These could be examples of cultural expressions such as a Bollywood movie from India or Anime videos from Japan.

Evaluate two hours of such a video. Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research articles about your selected culture. Select a scholarly article that analyzes the same culture presented in the videos you have observed. Write a paper describing the cultural differences you have observed in the video. How are these observations supported by the research article?

Be sure to include the following: Describe the videos you have watched. Explain the main points of the videos. Examine what stood out about the culture. Compare and contrast the similarities and differences of this culture with your own. (I AM FROM HAWAII) Examine the ways of this culture. Is it one you would want to visit or live in? Would you experience culture shock if you immersed yourself in this culture? Why or why not?

Support your statements with examples and scholarly references.

Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. 

By the due date assigned, deliver your assignment to the Submissions Area.

Sometimes a reporter must pitch a story idea to a producer to help them fill out their shows.

Instructions:

1) Pick a generic topic
(can not be extremely vague “coronavirus” is too broad, “Coronavirus and the homeless” is acceptable)

2) Pitch 3 story ideas based on your chosen topic

3) Choose one of those story ideas and write an anchor introduction for it.

EXAMPLE:

1) Apple, Google to Turn Smartphones Into Coronavirus Tracking Devices

2)Story Ideas
A: This could lead to a major privacy and tracking concern
B: The data could help the government anticipate the next areas of virus breakouts and can send equipment ahead of the virus
C: Is this a temporary study during the pandemic or will this type of tracking continue after the pandemic is over?

3) Apple and Google have teamed up in an unprecedented move of cooperation to allow their phones to better interact with each other. The new code would enable the smartphones to constantly log other devices they come near, enabling what is known as “contact tracing” of the disease. Will this type of tracking only last while the coronavirus ist still a pandemic of will “Contact Tracing” continue in other forms after the pandemic is over? Ernie Pyle has the high-tech details.
