Quick and easy discussion question for Communications

/in /by

Discussion Activity Based on Kitzinger & Frith (1999) “Just Say No”

Please write a 3 sentences for each question with quotes from the source.

Kitzinger and Frith (1999) explore the question of why it is a problem to try to solve sexual assault and date rape by telling people to “just say no.” They argue that “date rape prevention and (similar) programs which insist upon ‘just saying no’ as appropriate behavior are deeply problematic” (p.294).

More specifically, many “just say no” programs rely on the assumption that date rape occurs due to miscommunication and misunderstanding, perhaps based on gender differences in communication. Miscommunication theories surrounding issues of date rape assume that men just can’t understand the nuances of women’s refusals and that women are just being too indirect for men to understand.

Based on your reading of Kitzinger and Frith (1999), answer the following questions for this discussion activity.

1. Why is “just say no” a problem?

2. What do you think about this “just say no” advice to women for the purpose of preventing date rape and sexual assault?

3. Do you agree that the problem of date rape is mainly a “communication problem” as miscommunication theories assumed above? Explain why.

4. According to the authors, “young women are communicating in ways which are usually understood to mean refusal in other contexts and it is not the adequacy of their communication that should be questioned” (p.310). If you agree with Kitzinger and Firth that communication is not the issue here, how can we prevent date rape? Should we focus on looking for “consent” rather than waiting for the “refusal” in sexual encounters?

Need at least one citation, and use one concept from reading that I attached in file.

SNAP Challenge, word count: 350

Objective
Social safety net programs are one way to combat economic inequality. These programs are frequently controversial. This exercise allows students to examine one of these programs – the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). In doing so students can think through sociological analyses of the causes of and solutions to economic inequality.

Description
1 in 5 Oregonians receive SNAP benefits. In this assignment you will assume that you have a weekly SNAP allotment of $120 per month/per person (the Oregon average) for you and your 10-year old child. Based on your $60 per week food budget, take a trip to your local grocery store to plan a week of meals for yourself and your child. Make certain you allot yourself the amount of food you typically eat. As a reminder the recommended daily calories for a 10 y/o are 1,400-1,800 and a 30 y/o are 1,800-2,600. Your analysis should include a grocery list, the cost of each item and one week’s menu as in the following example:

Grocery List:
Purchase Cost
Gallon of milk 5.00
7 Bananas 3.00
5 apples 3.00

One week’s menu:
Day One
Breakfast: 1 c cereal, 1 c milk, banana
Lunch: 2 slices bread, 1 slice lunchmeat, 1 apple
Dinner: 1 c pasta, .25 c pasta sauce, 1 c broccoli, 1 tbl butter
Snacks: 1 granola bar, 1 c carrot sticks

Write at least a one paragraph reflection on your experience. Was it easy to meet the guidelines? Difficult? What did you have to give up, if anything? Are your meals nutritionally balanced?

Write a at least a one paragraph analysis of this exercise, using concepts from this week’s reading. ( readings are post in file, read chapter 26/24/25). (Use at least on citation from the reading) What sort of equality is exemplified by the SNAP Program? Might this be a successful solution to income inequality? Why or why not? What sociological concepts might be helpful in explaining your analysis?

You can learn more about the SNAP program here: https://www.oregon.gov/dhs/assistance/food-benefit…

*Note: You do not need to read additional materials to complete this assignment. This assignment is based on “The Food Stamp Challenge” in Sociology Through Active Learningedited by Kathleen McKinney and Brabara S. Heyl. Los Angeles: Pine Forge Press. 2009.

BIBL 120 unit 3 case study

Case Study Exercise

Youth Ministry—BIBL 120

Read through both Case Study situations below and choose one for this assignment. Using biblical support and your textbook information (particularly chapters 6-8 in Your First Two Years in Youth Ministry) resolve the issue.

Situation 1

After serving 3 months as the Youth Minister with a youth group of 50 to 60, one of the adult volunteers, Joe, a parent and long-term member of the church (whose brother is also on the finance committee) showed up late to a youth event with a strong smell of alcohol on his breath with slurred speech. You heard this from one of your student leaders who also informed you that this same kind of thing happened six months ago when the Youth Pastor search was taking place. A parent confronted Joe, but nothing was done about it. You heard from a neighbor that Joe was in a local rehab of some kind about 5 years ago.

Situation 2

As the Youth Minister of a growing youth group of 30, you inherited a quarterly Friday night fun event that has followed the same routine for the last 10 years. The small group of youth that currently attend are junior high students and most of the youth group have expressed that the program is “boring.” Sarah, an inherited adult volunteer, leads the program and has expressed on several occasions how important this event is to her and her team of 3 other middle-aged ladies and that she wants to “keep things going like they always have.” (She also sings in the choir, leads the young-adult Sunday School classes, and her husband is a regular, generous tither). Several of the new parents who have been attending since you came have expressed dissatisfaction with the quarterly Friday night events.

Using the wisdom from Scripture and from your textbooks, do your best (1) to diagnose the problem and then (2) list and explain the different steps you would take in dealing with this situation, particularly in dealing with (a) the volunteer and (b) any other persons involved (such as the youth group, other leaders, parents, the pastor, etc.). The assignment should be single-spaced and written in New Times Roman, 12 point font (700 word minimum).

The grading percentages are as follows (minimum words—700) in Turabian format:

  • Realistic diagnosis of the problem (20%).
  • Integration of biblical principles (20%)
  • Integration of wisdom from the textbook, particularly from Fields, chapters 6-8 (40%).
  • Presentation, cohesiveness, and grammar (20%)
