Assignment 1 (Week 3)
Global Studies PSA Campaign
Part 1: From News to Scholarship

Overview: Pick a news story from the options provided and identify scholarly resources that increase our understanding of the problem and Global Studies.

Course Objective: CO2: Differentiate between scholarly and popular sources that focus on global studies.
LO-2.1 Select a global studies topic to investigate using popular sources
LO-2.2 Discover peer-reviewed sources in the library or other academic databases
Every day we read alarming stories in world news. The overall goal of your three assignments is to combat distressing news and disinformation using information literacy and the concept of global citizenship. You will achieve these goals:
Gather factual, scholarly information on the problem to combat disinformation and to build public awareness (Assignment 1)
Compose a public service announcement (PSA) that will inform a broad audience of well-sourced information and data (Assignment 2)
Compose a realistic action plan with well-vetted resources to encourage public engagement and global citizenship (Assignment 3)

It all begins with a Global Studies problem. Start by perusing the news stories in our lesson content: Global Studies Topic Options. Pick one story that strikes your interest and then proceed to the next part of the instructions. Then complete these steps:

Open a document and add your name.
Indicate the news story you selected using a full reference in Chicago format. The story must be from the Global Studies Topic Options list.
Locate four scholarly, peer-reviewed articles on this topic in the online library. Here’s how:
Open the APUS Trefry library page, making sure you are logged in.
Enter your search terms. You can mine these from the article you picked.
Select “peer-review” in the menu on the left.
Use filters on the left menu to narrow the dates (2018-present is recommended).
You can search here as well: https://www.tandfonline.com/. It is recommended to select “open access” so you can access the article immediately.
4. Cite the four sources in a list using full references in Chicago format.
5. Next: For each of the four sources, tell us how you know the source is reliable. Comment on:
The author
The journal and its review process
The database where you found the source
Information literacy guidelines:
Do not copy-and-paste this information from websites. Look for the information and then spell it out in your own words.

We have discussed conspiracy theories as a specific type of misinformation/disinformation in class. This assignment will require you to research a conspiracy and create your own propaganda to try to discredit it.
At the bottom of the page is a list of popular conspiracy theories with links to general information explaining each. Choose ONE to research–internet resources are fine but you should still cite where the information came from. Then answer the following questions:
What is the conspiracy theory? What beliefs about the world does it include?
Where does the conspiracy theory come from? Who started it? How did it first spread? Who has benefited from its spread?
What counter-evidence exists? Which claims seem most unlikely to be true?
Create a piece of white propaganda to discredit or dispel the conspiracy. The propaganda needs to have a visual component–it can be a webpage, pamphlet, poster or billboard, infographic, or series of memes. Make sure that your propaganda uses at least one of the special techniques to maximize effects (division 7 in propaganda analysis).
Explain the logic behind your visual and why you believe it would be persuasive.

•9/11 Cover-Up
•Area 51 and the Aliens
•Paul Is Dead

Write a comparative paper discussing the two different strategies adopted by the Americans and the French

Mid-Size paper: Eight pages long (1,500/1,700 words in double-space format; 35 points).
The length of this assignment changed. One slightly longer paper than two papers.
Due: Wednesday, 13 March 2023: 11.59pm.
Prompt: Write a comparative paper discussing the two different strategies adopted by the Americans and the French (after their respective democratic revolutions) while putting into practice the doctrine/principle of “popular sovereignty” through the mechanism of “representation.” The task of “putting into practice” involves not only giving institutional form and expression to that principle, but also cultivating a political culture that enables common people to recognize themselves collectively as “sovereign people”. Such a political culture consists of and sustained by, among other things, a set of public rituals and habits, and certain ways of thinking and acting that enables people to simultaneously pursue “common good” as well as their individual and group interests.
On the basis of your comparative analysis of the American and French strategies, both institutional and cultural, explain why the former made a relatively smooth transition to the democratic mode of governance while the latter got entangled in a series of irresolvable dilemmas and contradictions.
In writing this paper, draw your materials from the following readings:
Wood, “The American Revolution and Democracy”
Madison, “The Federalist Papers, No. 10”
Fontana, “The French Revolution and Democracy”
Rosanvallon, “Revolutionary Democracy”
The following schematic information might be useful in completing the final paper:
Democratic rituals, habits, and ways of thinking
American
Rituals:
Rituals of actual representation (actual as opposed to virtual): voting and elections.
Rituals of egalitarianism: speech and dress
Rituals of national unity: (This is not in your assigned readings: Here are some examples: Reading of Declaration of Independence in town squares during the war of independence; the July 4th celebrations, playing of national anthem at sporting events today). You need to explain how American democratic rituals, while celebrating unity, didn’t not try to deny or erase social differences.
Habits and attitudes:
Reject hierarchy and the politics of deference.
Mistrust of elites and so-called superiors.
Skeptical of those (especially the elites) who claim to be working for the public good at the expense of their own private interests.
Ways of thinking:
It is Ok to advocate and promote one’s own interests in legislation, so long as one is open and forthright about it.
Recognizing social differences and accepting pluralism.
A particular view of human nature and human potential (see, The Federalist 10).
French
Rituals:
Rituals of incarnating the people as a collective sovereign agent (see, Rosanvallon on “people as event”): Festivals, Revolutionary calendar, and Terror.
Crowd politics.
Habits and attitudes:
Enlightenment habits and attitudes: skepticism about hierarchy and received tradition; engaging in social criticism.
Emphasis on political participation: unity and solidarity through participation
Utopian mindset: Disdain towards reality of social differences and distinctions.
Ways of Thinking:
It is possible and desirable to overcome individual and factional interests for the sake of general interest and common good.
A particular view of human nature and human potential.

Do you see a link between Prof. Sharp’s question “Which Customers Matter Most?

I will provide the textbook and also a diagram of the source of business for the incite model discussed in class. Please find to scholarly posts as well to tie in your blog. Please read the instructions thoroughly and let me know if any questions arise.
TOPIC: First Four Chapters of Byron Sharp’s How Brands Grow
TASK: Read the first four chapters of the textbook, and write a blog that addresses the following areas:
Based on your reading of all four chapters, how do you respond to Prof. Sharp’s assertion that “Many of the ‘facts’ marketing people believe, particularly about brand buying, are incorrect? Furthermore, many marketers lack the deep knowledge necessary to ask the questions that will lead to new valuable insights” (Page #9). Do you agree? Disagree? Why? Are you intrigued? Why?
Do you see a link between Prof. Sharp’s question “Which Customers Matter Most?” (title of Chapter #4) … and the Source of Business we discussed in the Incite model? Please explain your response.
For both of the above questions, I am looking for your point of view, not a dump or paraphrasing of what you’ve read.
