Project: Global Psychology in Film, Television, or Music (Initial Group Charter)
Film, television, and popular music/music videos often depict characters/people from different cultures. Sometimes these characters accurately reflect a cultural group. Other times, not so much. Select a film, television show, or group of songs/music videos you would like to study which highlights a characters/people from a cultural group you feel interest you, or you can relate to. Determine whether you feel the cultural background(s) depicted in your pieces is(are) accurately portrayed in your selections based on what we have studied in class.
Discuss the following points in your slideshow:
What culture is being highlighted in the media you have selected?
How does the character represent/or not represent the culture they are supposed to be portraying? (Consider the cultural beliefs, attitudes, views, practices you see in the piece.)
Select from the following concepts and evaluate how they can explain what you see take place in the media you select as they relate to the study of global psychology and mental health: prejudice, privilege, bias, racism, stereotypes, sexism, ageism, homophobia.
Support your points with theories related to these concepts.
Discuss your findings with someone who shares the same culture as the one(s) represented in your film. Highlight what their opinion is of the media and of your findings in your presentation.
Support your points with information from our textbook and at least 1-2 peer reviewed journal articles published within the last 5 years (You can find access to FREE ones via the FIU library). Journals must be related to course topics.

Writing Assignment Help This would be Chapter 1 of my dissertation. I would like to look at Servant Leadership, Social Construction, and Parenting through Forgiveness (Forgiveness Asking within Forgiveness). How does our social construction influence our parenting and can healing come from a servant leadership approach through forgiveness asking? I discuss this in a paper I did previously that I have attached.

Remember, the “policy problem” is NOT obesity, so please do not frame your issue as responses to our nation’s obesity problem. Your focus must be on potential problems or issues with the proposed BMI screening policy as outlined in the policy scenario.
Please note that the policy at issue is the proposed BMI screening policy. While BMI screening might be an upstream approach to addressing obesity over the longer term, this assignment should not be interpreted to mean that the policy “problem” is obesity in general. This assignment is requesting that you consider issues, concerns, benefits, and risks with the proposed BMI policy itself from your particular professional perspective. When you are invited to speak at any of the public forms (local, state, federal) on this proposed policy, what is it that you might want the policymakers to know and consider in their decision? For instance, if you are a public health professional, you might be particularly concerned about how this screening policy impacts sub-populations such as low-income communities or racially and culturally diverse communities. If you are a social worker, you might focus on a contemporaneous risk assessment for peer experiences of bullying and victimization.
Initial Post:
Use the information in the scenario and supporting external sources to write /- 500 words defining the policy problem from the perspective of your own discipline. Keep in mind that your problem must be defined in ways that the use of public resources is authorized, makes sense, and is likely to be effective (see Bardach p. 2). Be sure to:
Articulate the problem concisely and clearly
Frame the problem as one for which a public policy solution is warranted, appropriate, and likely to be effective
Avoid vagueness, generalities, rhetoric, and cliché
Provide preliminary information about what evidence will likely be available to support your definition and interpretation of the problem
Submit your policy problem statement in the Discussion Forum
Overview
As you have learned from reading Stone, the way in which you define, or “frame” your social issue is likely to impact whether the issue resonates with your audience. This week you will have an opportunity to define the way you envision the problem that needs policy attention and receive feedback from your groupmates about whether the problem is concisely articulated and whether it feels sufficiently compelling and consequential to warrant policy attention.
After reviewing the required reading, consider different ways of defining the problem raised in the scenario from the perspective of your own discipline. There are likely to be several ways in which the problem can be framed, so you will have to decide on one, or a couple of related issues. Be prepared to listen to, consider, and possibly incorporate some of the comments from your peers from other disciplines.
Remember, the “policy problem” is NOT obesity, so please do not frame your issue as responses to our nation’s obesity problem. Your focus must be on potential problems or issues with the proposed BMI screening policy as outlined in the policy scenario.
Weekly Outcomes
Describe the policy problem from your own profession’s perspective

Identify an article published in the New York Times’ Science section (or in a popular, reputable magazine) that is reporting research findings from a study in the social or behavioral sciences, within the last year. Then find the scholarly journal article to which that article was referring. Read the journal article. Discuss the differences in structure, approach, writing style, and audience that both pieces covered. How do they overlap with one another? How do they differ? When was the study original conducted and published in a journal? Finally, identify the target lay audience for this research and imagine that you have been tasked with relaying this information to that target lay audience. Discuss how the information, presentation, writing style, approach, and format (please do not use a newspaper or magazine as your format of choice) could be altered to appeal to that audience and properly relay the findings of the study at hand. Provide support for your changes using what you have learned in Modules 6b and 7a.
