Ethnography of a religious ritual.

/in /by

Please conduct a small ethnography of a religious ritual. The ritual can be religious or secular. Write a short essay based on your observations that addresses the following questions. Describe the ritual. Did it have stages; if so how were they marked? What was the purpose of this ritual? How does it compare to rituals you have undergone or participated in? Please be sure to ask permission to observe, take pictures etc. Also, be respectful and polite during your observation. Remember to think like an Anthropologist as you are doing your fieldwork and writing it up. The write-up should be around 1500-2000 words.

Actual attendance of a religious experience is in no way required, or even recommended. A small write up of any event detailing the following requirements placed in the aforementioned paragraph are sufficient as long as it reads as though one attended. My religious views are Conservative Protestant, which should be used to compare.

Postpartum Depression Letter

Postpartum Depression Letter

For this discussion, you will write a letter responding to the “Dear Ashford Expert” letter below. This letter should be unique and personalized yet scholarly in its approach, using academic information to support your opinions and suggestions.

Dear Ashford Expert,
Help! My best friend had a beautiful baby girl 6 weeks ago, and while I think that this should be a happy time for her, she doesn’t seem to be enjoying it at all. When I visited the other day, she was wearing pajamas that looked (and smelled) like she’d been wearing them for days. She kept joking that she’s “no good at the mom thing” yet, and would try to laugh it off, but I’m worried! She isn’t interested in going out to shop for cute baby clothes, even though I offered to buy, and she says that she’s not ready to come to our “moms group” which meets just once a month for a few hours because she says that she doesn’t want to burden her husband. What gives? How can I help her get out of this funk? Should I be worried about her or her little girl?
–Flustered Friend

Your response should answer the questions asked by “Flustered Friend” and include the following:

What is Postpartum Depression?
Analyze and comment on at least one of the following major themes: Health and Well-Being, Family and Parenting, Education, Culture, or Gender, as factors influencing the developmental (physical, cognitive and psychosocial) outcomes for the mother, father/partner, and infant.
How can Postpartum Depression influence the short- and long-term development of the infant? Be sure to address the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial domains of development.
Provide at least one local and one wide-ranging (i.e. internet or phone) resource that someone with Postpartum Depression, or someone with a loved one suffering from Postpartum Depression, can access to find more information and/or get help. Include all relevant information on how to contact each resource.

Effective Techniques

/in /by

Locate on the internet a video of an interview. You may choose a news interview or any other interview you can locate.

Your job is to review the interview, and identify at least three instances of the use of interview techniques (paraphrase, summary, silence, reflection, or interpretation). In your discussion post, provide quotes of what the interviewer and interviewee said (or did not say in the case of silence) that demonstrate each interview technique. Be sure to identify the technique for which you are providing each example.

After you identify the interview techniques (you may use the same technique or different ones) with your three examples, also provide an analysis of the effectiveness of each technique. That is, was the technique effective? How did the interviewee respond to the technique?
