...understood from the definition, goes mostly hand in hand with media -- only not the regular meaning of the innocent media we know. Media propaganda is the other form of media that is rather described as media manipulation. In this paper, the following will be discussed: first, how stereotypes of ethnic groups function in propaganda, why does it function so well, and finally, the consequences of these stereotypes on the life of Egyptians in particular in society. A fair examination will be conducted on this example of stereotypes through clarification examples and research results from researches conducted from reliable sources. The real association between Egyptians’ stereotypes and propaganda discussed in this paper shall magnify the association of stereotypes and propaganda in general. It seems necessary for this paper to start with some clarification of the terms associated with propaganda. Propaganda can be thought of as a foster parent for stereotypes. Propaganda is known to be the intentional manipulation of public opinion through hidden messages in advertisements and other media functions. Thus, propaganda uses many techniques to be able to deliver theses hidden messages to the public and influence their opinion. Fear, brainwashing, name calling, glittering generality, misinformation and much more are some of the techniques that propaganda uses to influence and manipulate the opinions of the majority. Propaganda finds the usefulness of stereotypes in the fact that it’s...

...they use your name several times. You on the other hand, can’t recall any of their names, and this causes you much embarrassment. Later you ask yourself, ‘why couldn’t I remember their names, it was less than 6 months ago when we all spent time together playing volleyball?’ The answer to that question might best be found by considering the process by which we encode, amass, and recover information. Based on the three-system approach to memory (Atkinson & Shiffrin, 1968) as information passes through or enters the sensory stage, which is the first step, and repetition is not carried out, this information, such as a person’s name can be lost within a second or so. Therefore, when I relate an example of my personal experience of how I forgot the name of those who I had played a game of volleyball with, I could have helped my chances of remembering by perhaps using their names frequently as we played together. Doing so would have lead to the second stage where information moves into short-term memory. In this stage, information can be stored for about 15 to 25 seconds before forgetting. I could have increased my chances of remembering the player’s names had I used it repetitiously when giving commendation for a nice play. This theory of what can affect an individual’s memory has led me to reevaluate my approach to how can I best store information that may be necessary at a later date. For example, remembering specific details for an exam, or a person’s name. Because...

Literally, I dropped my face on my desk and whispered, “God help us all; I’m about to fail this class.” I had a gut feeling that the assignment was going to be difficult and time consuming. Immediately I imagined the many hours that I would have to assert on the assignment, and the thought depressed me. Little did I know that doing the assignment would bring me one of the greatest surprises of my academic life and taught me that the writing process can’t be rushed. Mrs. Fisher paced back and forth in front of the class room as she explained how someone inspired her to become a teacher. At some point I stopped listing and was on the verge of dozing off.

All decisions 1-6 will also list my justifications for every scenario. 1. Key criteria: Conducting telephone interviews to physicians using a fictitious company name. Ethical dilemma: The issue of not telling the truth about the company you are calling from. I can see the reason because if the physicians knew it was the pharmauctical company the responses would be different. Recommendations: Use the real name of the company because you should not use a fictitious name. Justifications: If you are true with the company then you will get true results. If you are fictitious with the company then you are not really getting a benefit from the survey. 2. Key criteria: An attitude study conducted for a client, findings show product’s marketing efforts are not effective. Ethical dilemma: Hiding results is not the right thing to do on any level. If you omit important information that shows the marketing efforts effective. This is info needed to be true to the research. Recommendations: The results cannot be hidden because a product will not be marketing properly to sell. The results must be presented and then other options can be voiced at this time to maybe correct the issue. Justifications: If you hide information then the marketing process will not be correct. You cannot try to sell something if you know the marketing is incorrect...

...Summary The main objective of the paper was to highlight bullied youths and their behaviour and how they retaliate in a manner that no one would have expected. Their behaviour would come as a surprise to many because the end result would be murdering their perpetrators and also killing innocent people in their line of revenge. It also explained the different avenues why young people who are victims to bullying take matters into their own hands because many people such as school authorities and friends turn a blind eye to how they are treated. The writer also spoke about the initial stages of bullying to the extension where it becomes a bigger problem for the child who is a victim of such abuse. A few theories were highlighted in the paper which tries to explain or clarified some reasons why some children would resort to bullying others. The Strain Theory spoke about the victim who is the bullied would retaliate because of the strain condition that he or she is under. The Pecking Theory is where they relate the behaviour of animals on how dominance is displayed by over another in the animal kingdom. The Scapegoat Theory explains the act of minority groups and the so called depression that exerts from their behaviour It also brought to the forefront besides the theories mention that some of the children who are victim of such behaviour of bullying would not talk about it because of the consequences that they feared of being further victimized, if the bully...

...North Carolina Wilmington Abstract Within the past five years, cyberbullying has had a tremendous effect on our youth. Our world has become more technology based and our teens and young adults are taking advantage of this unlimited resource. The use of the Internet has quickly transitioned from an ordinary search engine into a way to attack innocent victims by sending harmful messages and rumors, as well as, explicit pictures that ruins an individual’s reputation. Cyberbullies must realize that what they are spreading is unacceptable and that young teens and adults are ending their lives because of cyberbullying. In order for our society to get a handle on cyberbullying, they must learn to recognize it. This paper will provide an overall view of what cyberbullying is, what are some examples of cyberbullying, and how school administrators’ should respond to cyberbullying issues that occur within their schools. Cyberbullying For many school communities across the country, cyberbullying has become a topic that has risen tremendously over the past five years. It seems like every time we turn on the television a student has taken their life or someone else’s life due to bullying. The increase of social communication through the internet has become a popular area for all students and this popularity has given bullies the opportunity to torture, harass, embarrass, and threaten their victims. The fact of the matter is, “technology...

...Final Business Proposal Paper Alison Rogers ECO/561 May 3, 2011 Dr. Jerry King Final Business Proposal Executive Summary I spent some time looking for a service that I can offer to clients from the comforts of my home and still earn a decent income to support my family. After a while, I came across the real estate note business. To understand this paper, let me explain what a real estate note is. A real estate note is a promise to pay. What you and I consider a mortgage or IOU that is registered at your local county courthouse. What I do is find these notes, determine their true value based off a formula and notify my list of buyers to see who is interested in making an offer. So now, I have created my home-based service off the current need within this market. The need is for professional note finders/locators. Buyers (or investors) are looking for good clean notes to invest in but don't necessarily have the time to spend researching every note they come across. They are will to pay for the service to be completed by a professional. Market Structure and Elasticity Currently my market structure is pure competition on the grounds that I must compete with other notes finders in order to locate, evaluate potential notes and close deals. This type of service is elastic because of the number of competitors and the fact that the clients could perform this service themselves with ample time and research. What makes a note finder effective is that we already...

...LIBERTY UNIVERSITY THE CALLING OF SAUL OF TARSUS A RESEARCH PAPER SUBMITTED TO DR. BRANDON JONES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS For BIBL 364 LIBERTY UNIVERSITY ONLINE BY e of Contents Introduction 3 Saul of Tarsus 3 The Damascus Experience 4 The Call 6 The Conversion Debate 8 Conclusion 9 BIBLIOGRAPHY 11 Introduction The Book of Acts is a literary masterpiece filled with stories of miracles, faith, chronicles of the growth of Christianity, Holy Spirit encounters, and stories of supernatural conversions. It is one of the main books of the Bible studied to learn about the power of the Holy Spirit and God’s ability to use anything and anyone for His purpose. The “call” of Saul was one of the most significant events not only in the Book of Acts, but throughout the Bible. Christians in the Twenty-First Century owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the Apostle Paul for his courage and obedience in answering the “call” of God. The spontaneous response to this call has a direct impact on Christians, Jews and non-Jews all over the world. The reason Saul’s call was so important was because it was a fulfillment of Jesus’s Great Commission. Saul’s pedigree as well as his character made him the least likely candidate to become one of the greatest Apostles to the Gentiles. This paper will examine who Paul of Tarsus was, the importance of his call, whether or not he was converted, and the impact his decision to answer God’s call...

...their being read. In the face of the post-9/11 anthrax mailing scare, the Office for Survey Research (OSR) converted to using advance postcards rather than advance letters. Subsequently, the OSR conducted an experiment to test the effectiveness of sending letters, postcards, or nothing to directory-listed numbers selected in a large random digit dial (RDD) telephone survey. In terms of response rates, the results clearly indicate that sending advance letters is more effective than sending postcards, which, in turn, is more effective than sending nothing. A detailed cost-effectiveness evaluation indicates that sending letters actually saves money, despite the increased costs associated with the mailings, compared to sending postcards; sending postcards is also more cost-effective than not sending anything. Introduction Response rates in surveys have been declining for several decades (Groves and Couper 1998; Steeh 1981; Steeh et al. 2001), and the rate of decline increased after the mid-1990s (Curtin, Presser, and Singer 2005; Smith 2003). Groves and Couper (1998) and Curtin, Presser, and Singer (2003) have speculated that the decline in response rates might have been even Address correspondence to Larry Hembroff; e-mail: hembroff@msu.edu. doi:10.1093 / poq / nfi021 © The Author 2005.

...Classical Conditioning Paper PSY/ 390 May 05, 2014 Professor Chelsea Hansen Classical Conditioning Paper Abstract: Throughout this paper a theory of classical conditioning will be described and detailed. A selected scenario in which I the writer was able to apply a classical conditioning theory. The description of the scenario will be detailed as well as demonstrated on a chart which was prepared in order to illustrate how someone would apply a classical conditioning theory to the selected scenario. It is important to remember that classical conditioning is a technique that is used in primarily behavioral training. Usually it is when a naturally occurring stimulus is paired with a responsive stimulus. Afterwards a more previously neutral stimulus is then paired with the more naturally occurring stimulus. The outcome is that the previously neutral stimulus comes in to evoke and the response is without the presence of the naturally occurring stimulus. The most common names given to the two following elements are known as the conditioned stimulus and the conditioned responses. Classical conditioning came to life through the hard work and dedication from the well world renowned investigations of Psychologist Ivan Pavlov. Pavlov Born September 14, 1849 in Russia knew from very early he loved the study of psychology and worked hard on focusing on the Classical Conditioning theory “Operant and classical conditioning are two different ways in which organisms come to reflect...

...The other detracting aspect stems from her slide where she proclaimed she knew a lot about rhetorical analysis and that that is the focus of her research. As she moved through the texts, she did not make it obvious where she performed specific rhetorical analysis, which would have been accomplished by using terms we would usually hear in debate class like ethos, pathos, or logos, even though it was clear she used those skills. Thus her rhetorical skill was very well integrated into the talk, but the fact she has mastery of rhetoric beyond the typical university professor, which she took a whole slide to emphasize, could be missed if one did not look for it.
