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.
  • 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. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.doc.

By Wednesday, October 8, 2014, deliver your assignment to the M2: Assignment 2 Dropbox.

/in /by

Over the quarter you have been working as an executive of a marketing department and asked to explore strategies to enter the PC market. You have worked hard on entering the PC market and you want your company to support your efforts and your marketing plan. Now it is time to prepare that marketing plan to present to your companys CEO. Who operates in a different state. You will be unable to meet with the CEO face-to-face, so she asked you to create a video presentation (Directions on how to do are provided below). It is important not only to report on what has happened, but that you can provide the CEO with the potential of this market over the next two years. Failure to do so could cost you your job. This plan will include no more fewer than 10 and no more than 15 slides (not including your cover slide, or reference slide if necessary). In the presentation you will present what you have learned as you have gone through the simulation exercises, make confident statements about the future, and make recommendations to the CEO. The slides should discuss: . What the market research has told you customers value when buying a laptop or PC . Your target customers . Products your company should market . Your sales office locations and why, as well as where you think other sales offices should go (pick at least two locations), and how these new sales locations will help grow the business. . How many sales people you would hire for each location and why . What would be the most effective advertising and where the advertising should be placed . Share how well the company has done when compared to the competition and let the CEO know which of the competitors stand to create the biggest threats, and why . Explain how the market has performed during the simulation, why or why was it not successful, and what the company could do to be even more successful Your presentation must be submitted as a video file and posted on your YouTube station You must use at least PowerPoint 2010, because of the different file types available (PPT 2007 does not have the option of saving as a video file).

Students should demonstrate that they can distinguish the relevant points that form a logically coherent argument. They should also be able to construct criticisms which effectively undermine, through the use of appropriate counter-examples, some premise of that argument. 

 

FOR THE ARTICLE YOU CHOOSE TO WRITE ON, you will type a 1000-1500 word response in which you address EACH of the following four questions IN YOUR OWN WORDS: 1) What is the author’s main argument? 2) How does he support his main argument (evidence, ancillary arguments, etc.)? 3) Do you agree or disagree with him? 4) Why or why not?

A WORD OF WARNING: These articles rather long and very complex. The author likes to make extensive use of his copious vocabulary, so I strongly urge you to have dictionary.com handy as you work your way through your chosen article. The purpose of this essay assignment is for you to demonstrate your ability to discuss, analyze, and evaluate complex philosophic arguments. I am confident that the reading assignments (chapters 1-9), tests, and discussion boards will have prepared you for this final, and no doubt challenging, essay assignment.

Your extra credit paper will be graded according to the following rubric:

George, John, and Thomas are standing first, second, and third in a line, respectively. Each one sees the persons standing in front of him. James announces: “I have three red hats and two white hats. I will place a hat on the head of each one of you.” After James places the hats, he asks Thomas (who can see the hats worn by John and George) if he knows the color of the hat on his own head. Thomas replies “no.” He then asks John (who sees only George’s hat) whether he knows the color of the hat on his own head, and he also replies “no.” Finally, he asks George (who cannot see any of the hats) if he knows the color of the hat on his own head.

(a) Construct an Aumann model of incomplete information that contains 7 states of the world and describes this situation.

(b) What are the partitions of George, John, and Thomas after James’s announcement and before he asked Thomas whether he knows the color of his hat?

(c) What are the partitions of George and John after Thomas’s response and before John responded to James’s question?

(d) What is George’s partition after hearing John’s response?

(e) What is George’s answer to James’s question? Does this answer depend on the the state of the world, that is, on the colors of the hats that the three wear?

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING WORD LIMIT REQUIREMENTS:

Please note that each and every assignment has its own word limit.

Obesity is the major risk factor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), whereas an excessive intake of alcohol is the main driver of alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD). However, not all obese individuals have NAFLD, and not all individuals who consume large amounts of alcohol develop AFLD. Also, far from all individuals with simple steatosis (the first stage of both NAFLD and AFLD) go on to develop steatohepatitis, cirrhosis, or end-stage liver disease. A large part of this inter-individual variation is due to genetic factors. Some individuals carry susceptibility-increasing genetic variants that make them more vulnerable to developing NAFLD, and to the progression of the disorder. Conversely, some lucky individuals carry genetic variants that protect their livers from the deleterious effects of obesity or alcohol intake. Twin studies indicate that 50% of the risk of fatty liver disease is genetically determined. This heritability estimate is comparable to those of other complex traits such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, or ischemic heart disease. Additional evidence in support of a strong genetic component to NAFLD is the fact that the disorder varies greatly in prevalence among different ethnic groups. Three common (minor allele frequency > 0.05) steatogenic genetic variants with robust and replicable effects have been identified so far: PNPLA3 I148M, TM6SF2 E167K, and GCKR P446L. Together these variants explain less than 10% of the variation in hepatic fat content or approximately 20% of the total heritable component of hepatic steatosis. Thus, the major fraction of genetic variation that contributes to the development of fatty liver disease remains unknown. With only three genome-wide association studies GWAS published so far (two of these based on the same cohort), the field of fatty liver GWAS is still in its infancy. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a complex disease in which genetic variations and environmental factors interact to determine disease phenotype and progression. Progress in the understanding of the genetic risk of NAFLD might offer the unique opportunity to translate this information into clinical practice. However, only a minor fraction of the genetic risk for fatty liver disease has been discovered. Furthermore, the relative importance of genetic and environmental factors will vary between populations depending on background modifier genes, lifestyle choices/challenges, and other factors such as the intestinal microbiome (Stender, Grarup, Hansen, 2019)

Although any of the standard epidemiologic study designs can be used for testing interactions, cohort studies have the great advantage of allowing the collection of time-dependent exposure information before disease develops, overcoming the problem of “reverse causation” (the disease or its treatment affecting exposure or its measurement). Since cohort studies of rare diseases would require enormous sample sizes or long follow-up (especially for diseases with long latent periods), case-control studies are the design of choice for studying rare diseases with common exposures. Reverse causation is a non-issue for genetic effects and generally not as big a concern for G×E interactions as for pure environmental effects. Nested case-control and case-cohort designs exploit the advantages of the basic designs, combining the avoidance of bias of cohort designs with the cost-efficiency of case-control designs. In general, the relative efficiency of the various designs for G×E interactions is similar to that of main effects(Thomas, 2010).
