Topic Identification 1

Islamophobia: Topic Identification Worksheet

 

 

 

Type your answers below:

 

1. What topic are you selecting? Why are you choosing this topic?

 

-The topic I am selecting is Islamophobia and racism. I am choosing this topic because I truly believe the root cause of Islamophobia is indeed racism.

 

2. Do some basic library research on this topic. Check out anthrosource! Do a search in the Mardigian library’s offerings. Write down three of the article titles that seem relevant and download them articles to your computer. Note these articles may be in the fields of history, anthropology, or sociology, but try to at least find one article that is squarely in an anthropology journal.

 

a. Making Anthropology Matter in the Heyday of Islamophobia and the ‘Refugee Crisis’: The Case of Poland-Michał Buchowski

b. Islamophobia- Miriam F. Elman

 

c. Online Islamophobia and the politics of fear: manufacturing the green scare

Mattias Ekman

 

4. Given what you know about your topic, thus far, why is it important or significant? Why should we care about it?

 

– I believe it is important because in order to understand how to help “cure” Islamophobia we must really understand what it is and how to cure it.

 

 

 

5. Go ahead, be daring: brainstorm 2 or 3 possible thesis statements. (Hypotheses about your topic in argument form). This is not set in stone. Rather it is a chance to hazard a guess. Remember, your thesis statement should be in the form of an argument and should be refutable.

 

· Islamophobia, is it really a phobia? Islamophobia is the purest form of racism. Although Islamophobia means “fear” of Islam, it is truly associated with hate, or racism.

 

· Islamophobia has always been known to be the fear of Islam, but is it really that, or is it just another form of racism, hidden behind a word. I believe it is just plain old racism.

Benchmark- Personality Assessments

/in /by

There are several personality inventories. Some examples are the   Predictive Index, Myers-Briggs, and the Kiersey Termperament Sorter.   (Note: this is not a comprehensive list.) Understanding the value of   these measures for screening and assessment in hiring decisions is of   the upmost importance. For this assignment, you will analyze two   personality inventories used in human resources and   industrial/organizational psychology. The analysis will include:   title, author and publisher, theoretical foundation of the test; a   description of each test content, purpose, structure, administration,   and scoring guidelines; an evaluation of the reliability and validity   of each test; a critique of the strengths and weaknesses of using each   test in an applied setting; and an analysis of the multicultural   application of each test. Frame your answer from a theoretical   perspective. Lastly, determine the impact personality assessment has   for the individual and group to improve organizational performance.

Behavior

iscussion: Reactions to Disruptive Behaviors

Many children and adolescents who go to counseling engage in behaviors that are disruptive to others. These children and adolescents are sometimes labeled as having “externalizing” disorders because they tend to “act out” their symptoms, which causes other people distress. Disorders such as depression and anxiety are “internalizing” disorders because children and adolescents generally internalize their symptoms in a way that causes them distress. When children “act out” their symptoms, adults can become impatient, annoyed, and angry. These responses often intensify when children are unwilling or unable to take personal responsibility for their behavior. As a future child and adolescent clinician, it is important for you to gauge your reactions toward children and adolescents with disruptive behaviors and consider how your reactions may impact the counseling process.

For this Discussion, review each of the clips in the media Disruptive Behaviors Part One and think about your reactions to the behavior exhibited in the media. Select one particular child or adolescent in the media and think about how your reactions to that child’s or adolescent’s behavior might impact a therapeutic relationship with that child or adolescent. Also, consider how you might transform any negative reactions you may have to the child or adolescent you selected to an appropriate therapeutic response.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post a brief description of the disruptive behavior you selected, and explain one way your reactions might positively or negatively influence the development of a therapeutic relationship with that child or adolescent. Then, explain one way you might transform a negative reaction into an appropriate therapeutic response and how. Be specific and use examples.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the week’s resources.

Discussion: Budget, Budget Narrative, & Sustainability Plan

/in /by

The budget is a crucial piece in the logical progression of developing your proposal. Look back at the other key components—needs statement, objectives, goals, methodology, and evaluation—and consider how these pieces must be represented in and supported by the budget. One can see why a funding reviewer might begin by looking at a budget. It should fully, clearly, and succinctly depict the story of the project. The budget narrative expands upon the line items of a budget, offering further explanation of costs and needs, as appropriate.

A sustainability plan explains to funders how you will continue a project after funding has been exhausted. Not only does this plan demonstrate a proactive stance toward your project, but it also provides a funder assurance that its interests will be served beyond the project timeframe.

In preparation for this Discussion, consider the components of your project that you have determined to this point. Review this module’s Learning Resources that focus on the budget, budget narrative, and sustainability plan. Note: You may select one of the two budget formats for your Discussion post: the budget example on pp. 162–163 or use the Sample Budget Worksheet on p. 328 as a guide to develop your budget.

By Day 3 of Week 5

Post the following to the Discussion board:

  • Your Budget, Budget Narrative, and Sustainability Plan.      Include a brief description of your project to provide context to your      colleagues.

Note: To be respectful of your peers in providing feedback that will be useful to their finalizing their Budget, Budget Justification/Narrative, & Sustainability Plan for Assignment 4, you are encouraged to post your responses to your colleagues by Day 5.

Be sure to support your analysis and conclusions with citations and references in APA format from the Learning Resources and your own research.
