By no later than 11:59pm TUESDAY, create a video post please respond to at least TWO questions from Chapter 7 and TWO questions from Chapter 8:
Chapter 7
1. Why are so many stereotypes negative? Are these stereotypes harmless or dangerous? Explain your answer. What impact do stereotypes have in your life?
2. Ethnocentrism is sometimes linked to patriotism. Is it possible to be patriotic without being ethnocentric? Explain your answer.
3. Prejudice is grounded in an emotional reaction and cannot just be gotten rid of by simply being told that it is not a good idea. What are some ways you would suggest that a person could get rid of prejudice in their own life?
4. What examples of the different forms and functions of prejudice can you identify in your community? What negative consequences are suffered by the specific individuals and the community as a whole as a result of the manifestations of prejudice?
5. Which of the rationalizing narratives do you recognize in your own life and in the lives of those around you? How could you change these narratives so as to avoid the negative impacts of prejudice in your own life?
Chapter 8
1. What are the most recognizable differences for you among the three types of intercultural conflicts: Object conflicts, relationship conflicts, and priority conflicts? Give an example of each as it occurs in your life today. If you do not currently have one of these conflicts in your life, did you experience one in the recent or distant past? How was it resolved?
2. Which approach to conflict do you most typically use? Is that your consistent approach, or is it contextually driven? In other words, are there situations where you use avoidance? Situations where you use accommodation? What factors determine your approach to conflict?
3. Describe the differences between intercultural and intergroup conflicts. Give an example of each that you have experienced and/or observed. How was the conflict managed? Would awareness of the “other(s)” have minimized the conflict?
4. Is the concept of forgiveness a practical one? Why or why not? Does it depend on the situation? If so, how? Does a person have to be religious for this concept to have any value?
5. What is the “trigger” that you notice most frequently leads to intergroup conflict? Is there a way to minimize the impact of the trigger? Is there a way to move toward less “othering”? What strategies are you willing to try in your life to minimize being influenced by triggers that could lead to intergroup conflicts?

To complete your Key Concepts & Discussion Questions Paper, please do the following:
1. While reading the chapter, list all of the ideas that seem important to understand the reading, provide a page number corresponding with the idea(s), and briefly define/explain why it is important. A minimum number of key ideas is five, but it’s important to recognize there are far more than 5 important ideas per chapter. NOTE THEY SHOULD NOT ALL BE FROM THE SAME SECTION/PAGE/AREA OF THE CHAPTER.
2. Below are four types of questions. Based on the text, you must write at least three questions from three of the four categories listed below (a through d) for each chapter. Feel free to create more, but you must do one from each of the four categories.
a) Question of clarification: Is there something in the reading that didn‘t quite make sense? If so, you might ask a question of clarification, seeking to understand what the author is saying.
b) Question of application: Do you see a way that the material might be apply to a practical situation? Examples might include improving long-distance communication between family members or using Twitter to effectively build social ties. A question of application probes how the material might be applied practically.
c) Question of connection: Do you see a connection between this week‘s readings and last week‘s? A question of connection ties readings together across the course.
d) Question of challenge: Do you think the reading is just way off base? Does something you read in this course, or another communication course, or a real-life experience contradict it? A question of challenge respectfully challenges the text‘s claims.
Provide an answer for each of your questions or, if you are unable to answer your question, a three to five sentence explanation, citing the text, as to why the question is important. See the Successfully Completing Assignments page for more information.

In your writing, bold the key words and principles related to lessons in the current module and/or previous modules. Be sure to cite your sources of info on the text, such as web sites that say how much a movie cost to make.
Guidance
In week 3 you chose a “monster” from pop culture and discussed how to understand it via Monster Theory. This week, we learned text analysis tools (semiotics, psychoanalysis, and political economy).
In this essay, you can use the same “monster” text you analyzed last week OR choose a new popular culture text such as a movie or TV series.
You will discuss how to use each of the 3 text analysis tool to analyze your selected cultural text.
Organize your paper using the following headings and address each prompt below each. Link to any web resources you use (really only need to do this in part 1). Include photos, screen shots, etc., to help illustrate different aspects of your analysis. Submit the essay as a .doc or .pdf (not Google docs).
Part 1 – Cultural Text Selection
a. Identify which cultural text (e.g., movie, book, etc.) that you selected to analyze. Choose a text that has enough detail and narrative for you to analyze.
b. Do some research into the contexts of the production of the text. For example if it is a movie, who directed it? Who were the stars? What was the production studio? How much did it cost to make? Was it popular, and how much did it make?
c. You can include the political/economy/industry information here as background info on your text OR include it as a separate section.
Part 2 – Using Textual Analysis Tools
Semiotics
a. Describe how you would do a text analysis with this “semiotics tool.”
b. Identify several instances of symbolism in text and what you think they mean.
c. Some symbols are internal, like a storm symbolizing conflict in the text. Others can symbolize aspect of our real world. Try to come up with at least one example of each.
d. Describe one reason that using this “semiotics tool” is useful in this case. “Using semiotics to analyze this text helps to reveal…..”
Psychoanalysis
a. Describe how you would do a text analysis with this “psychoanalysis tool.”
b. Look for representations or issues of gender, race, sexuality, or family issues in the text. Focus in on one area that is being developed in the text. How is the issue central to the text? Does it conform to our social norms or perhaps go against them?
c. Describe one reason that using this “psychoanalysis tool” is useful. “Using psychoanalysis to analyze this text shows…..”
Political Economy
a. Describe how you would do a text analysis with this “political economy tool.”
b. How might $$ issues or industry practices have lead to certain character portrayals or plots lines in the story or how it was marketed towards certain audience.
c. Describe one reason that using this “political economy tool” is useful in a text analysis.
Part 3 – In one concluding paragraph say which text analysis tool you found most interesting to use and which one was most useful for analyzing the particular culture text you chose to analyze.

Analysis Paper One Prompt
Select and analyze three related examples of wartime propaganda. The examples do not have to be
from the United States, but should come from or relate to a war, from World War I to the present,
in which the United States was a combatant. This may include World War I, World War II, the
Korean Conflict, the War in Vietnam, Gulf Wars I and II, or some aspect of “The War on Terror.”
Explicate a theory of propaganda to analyze these images. This should arise from our readings
including Bernays or Ellul, but you also may use additional sources or produce an original theory
while explaining how it relates to the work of earlier theorists. Your work should engage this
question: what do these examples reveal about propaganda as a discourse of war? You may refine
this further depending on your project: What do these examples show us about French culture at
war? Or, what do these examples show us about the importance of food security in war? Etc.
Note that it is often useful to discuss how examples of propaganda arise from national cultures and
make use of their values or common traits. How are these examples calibrated to work on the
particular audience? See the explanation of commonplace below.
