Hello everyone,

Amid all the chaos that is happening right now with COVID-19, it is very important to be aware of how to prevent yourself from it and keeping yourself and others safe.

According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention), doing things such as washing your hands often for at least 20 seconds if you’ve been in a public place and avoiding close contact is a great way to stop the spread. According to WHO (World Health Organiziation), avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth will also decrease the chance of you getting contaminated with the virus.

Because of all that is happening, I think that our society has become more aware of their hygiene and is more conscious about it.

– Were you already aware about having a good hygiene to prevent other illnesses prior to COVID-19?
– How have you maintained your hygiene to combat this virus?
– Have you learned anything about hygiene since COVID-19 became a pandemic?
– What are some things that you can share with the class that they may not be aware of to improve their hygiene to protect themselves and/or others?

‘Virtual child pornography” is the term to given to video depictions of child-child or child-adult sexual activity in which the ”participants” are not actual children but realistic computer-generated images of children. The Federal Child Pornography Prevention Act banned this kind of pornography, but in April 2002 the U.S. Supreme Court declared the ban unconstitutional. (The Court upheld the section of the law that bans pornographic depictions of actual children, however.) Evaluate virtual child pornography from ethical standpoint.

Social Stratification Systems: Caste vs. Class

/in /by

India’s caste system, in which there are four major castes, or varnas, is a social construct that is ascribed and immutable: people are born into this system and cannot move between castes. In American society, class systems, of which there are five, are social rankings based largely on economic position. In America, unlike India, one can transcend class through economic or social success. After reading “Overlapping identities under liberalization: Gender and caste in India,” assess whether or not an individual can transcend class in the United States.

As you respond to your peers, address potential factors that can affect class status in the US, especially considering the influx of skilled and educated workers coming from India.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.

discussion question and also reply 2 two peers answers

Whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government. —Thomas Jefferson

A hot-button issue in the American/International Political climate is
climate change. This has also been heavily influenced by media
interpretation and coverage. The scientific evidence supports the
perspective that global climate change is the result of the impact of
our species on the environment. However, some hold the perspective that
it is just part of the earth’s natural cycle. In the meantime, billions
of dollars are being invested in projects and initiatives related to
climate change. This has become a very divisive issue, with strong
opinions about the topic. It also raises the question of who should be
trusted when it comes to issues such as these—the people running our
governments, scientists, or the media.

After reviewing this week’s material, in your initial response,
consider each perspective. In America, what “side” of the climate change
issue do you hear about most from politicians or the media? Do you
think this could have an influence on the direction in which climate
change research is headed? Why or why not?

Consider what you have learned about the relationship between modern-day issues and the inherent value of the natural sciences.

When responding to your peers’ posts, explain why you agree or
disagree with their point of view. Thinking about what you have learned
about our obligations as citizens, describe why it is important for
citizens to be informed about the science behind this issue. Consider
what information you would want to have if you were making a decision
about this issue, and when not knowing enough might lead to a poor
outcome.

To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric document.

The
articles in this module’s text were very interesting. Each have valid
points and explain their point of view in a convincing way. I find
myself still unsure of which is correct. It is important to understand
that there must be an underlying purpose for each perception of this
topic. I think it is very convenient for researchers to test only one
area of the continent, which seems to be the warmest because of natural
occurrences. I find it appalling that people do not work together and
use the data for our Earth’s advantage. Because that’s all that really
matters in the end. We shouldn’t want to push the public into believing
something untrue or present only half of the important information.

In the media, I think it depends on which news stations you follow.
As sad as it is they are also very bias. For me, though, I seem to read
and hear more about Global Warming caused by humans. I am very aware,
especially now, of sources and reliability. I do, however, still scroll
Facebook like any other. If I read something interesting and want to
verify, I will open a tab and research it for myself to be sure. If I
plan to share it with another person, I want to be positive I am not
handing out false information. When reading articles about my specific
topic and others, I tend to head straight to the sources to determine if
their background is acceptable for the issue. Who is the author of the
article? Are they a scientist? A journalist? A politician?

The majority of the public look up to our Government. We look to them
to keep us informed, safe, and taken care of. Politicians can enhance
their viewpoints on important issues with their loud voices. People are
watching them and it is crucial to keep all of us well-informed about
what is going on in our country and globally. Our country can not
operate correctly when divided and misinformed.

Hello Everyone!

I can’t believe we are in week seven already! What a great topic to debate this week. Climate change is such a hot topic and one that has such a variety of responses in the political and media arenas.

I loved the video of Dr. Neil deGrasse, Science vs. Politics. I found it interesting when he identified that there are political leaders who are mostly lawyers and with a spatter of business-oriented individuals. It is my opinion that this makes sense, as most subject matter experts, who are quite brilliant, with undeniable talents, are not usually interested in the spotlight or not great public speakers.

In an attempt to remain objective, I believe it is important to hear both sides of political debates. With that said, in America, the “side” of climate change issues I hear about most is from the media as they are the ones that bring politics to my living room. The “side” usually depends on the channel that is currently on and what their interests are.

Blindly and with limited to no research, I believed that media has the potential to influence the direction in which climate change research is headed. However, I do not think enough credit is given to the average American these days. Americans have access to vast amounts of information and knowledge. I feel that Americans can see through the propaganda and make intelligent, well-thought decisions. While I believe that media can influence the direction of climate change research, I wonder to what extent.

After some research I came across the research paper, Shifting public engagement: How media coverage of climate change conferences affects climate change audience segments. It identified media had “limited changes in public opinion” (Wonneberger, et al., 2019).

The article indicates, “Overall, our study finds small media effects. Certainly, no large and sudden changes should be expected from a single event that is competing for attention with other events or ongoing problems and debates” (Wonneberger, et al., 2019).

It is an interesting read and I would recommend you check it out:

This is merely one study, what are your thoughts?

Vitural Teams

/in /by

Reflect on virtual teaming and it’s rules, values, reasons and problems. From what we have learned in this class on the value of virtual teaming and necessity to learn to deal with communication in this capacity, this part of the final is to give an overview of your thoughts on the subject gained from personal experience. Virtual teaming is never easy; however, I feel that most of you succeeded in accomplishing this difficult task.

Be sure this part of your final is also in good essay and APA format. I want to know that you have reviewed the above information and the folder on teaming given early in the term.

Let me once more give you an experience in virtual teaming and it’s necessity. I asked the worldwide VP of a French company with teams and customers around the world, what he felt was the importance in modern business of being able to successfully handle a virtual team. His answer was short and emphatic:

“Today I talked with my team around the world which represented 6 countries, 3 time zones, 6 cultures, 4 ethnic backgrounds, and 3 religions. We had the same goal to handle a sale for 3 of the largest electronic companies in the world. As leader of the team, if I had faltered or hesitated or procrastinated, it would have all been lost. Is virtual teaming important – if you want to work in the modern world, you had better acknowledge it is a must and succeed at doing it!” (KLL, personal communication, February 25)

I await your comments.

************************************************************************

Experience from working in a team

Negative:

Lack of communication

We didn’t arrange a daily/weekly meeting time

I suggested communicating via text messages for a prompt response because I’m hardly online and that wasn’t utilized.

Positive:

although we didn’t organize times and days to communicate we were able to assign each other tasks and complete them before the deadline
