Look into this question and be prepared to discuss the risks and benefits of this vaccine.

Quite a bit has been written online over the past decade about possible health risks of childhood vaccinations. This message has moved some parents to avoid having their children vaccinated. To introduce this discussion topic I would like you to listen to this recent episode of the Diane Rehm show from National Public Radio on childhood vaccination. Link: http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2014-07-03/ongoing-efforts-vaccinate-children-against-polio-measles-and-other-deadly-diseases
It is an hour-long show, so be sure to carve out the time to listen. Then use online resources to investigate the following questions:

What is the argument against childhood vaccinations?
What types of sources do you find claiming that childhood vaccinations are dangerous? Do you consider these to be quality science sources? Why or why not?
What does science have to say about this question? Is there good data to show whether children benefit or suffer from vaccination? What are good sources for this information?
The HPV vaccine is relatively recent and is recommended by the Centers for Disease control Link: http://www.cdc.gov/hpv/vaccine.html. all girls and boys at age 11 or 12 to prevent cervical and penile cancer. There has been some debate at the state level whether HPV vaccine should be recommended for children. Look into this question and be prepared to discuss the risks and benefits of this vaccine.

Diagnostic Essay

I will upload the picture of the book so you can find it online and look at it to help you write please follow the teacher instructions step by step and be sure no plagiarism

The six page paper should quote and illustrate all 4 frames of colorblindness and analyze them accordingly.

Instructions: The film that I choose is “Remember the Titans”. Within the six page paper I am expected to apply the material covered in class (Especially Bonilla-Silva’s 4 Frames of colorblind racism). As his/her critical thinking decision making objective, the student should decide whether the societal evidence he/she reviews in the paper :
a) demonstrates the typical colorblind pattern that Bonilla-Silva describes in the textbook; or
b) reveals a more progressive and/or minority pattern
c) Some combination of the above
d) Some other pattern not discussed in the textbook but worth exploring in future research.

The student may find that the quotes he/she analyzes deliberately challenge one of the 4 frames of colorblindness in some way, and he/she can note this in the paper as well. The paper should consider the implications of the analysis of colorblindness for the future of a multiracial society. In other words, how do the representations discovered in your analysis help and/or hinder a society’s progress toward inclusive multiracial democracy?

The books Required for this class is listed below:
1) Bonilla-Silva, E. 2010 Racism without Racists: Color-Blind Racism and Racial Inequality in Contemporary America. 3rd ed. Boulder, CO: Rowman and Littlefield. ISBN-13:9781442202184
2) Higganbotham, E. and Margaret L. Anderson. 2011. Race and Ethnicity in Society: The Changing Landscape. 3rd ed. Belmont Ca: Wadsworth. ISBN-13:9781111519537

The six page paper should quote and illustrate all 4 frames of colorblindness and analyze them accordingly.

The two sources I would like to use is the book on “Remember the Titans and the movie itself if possible.

Write an analytical reflection paper on the experience:

Checklist

There are four steps to this assignment—you must complete all four in order to receive credit.

__: Identify a situation in which you will encounter persuasion

__: Submit topic on Canvas for approval

__: Expose yourself to the situation and take notes on your experience

__: Write an analytical reflection paper on the experience.

Identify a situation in which you will encounter persuasion:

This assignment requires you to place yourself in a situation where you will be persuaded to do something (buy, believe, etc.). The assignment requires you to set yourself up as a target of a professional salesperson or other persuasion expert and to analyze their experiences using fundamental persuasion, argumentation, and logic concepts.

Expose yourself to the situation and take notes on your experience:

The assignment requires you to set yourself up as a target of a professional salesperson or other persuasion expert. To simulate a realistic experience I will not explicitly instruct you on how to approach the situation (e.g., emotionally detached, strongly resistant). Rather, I simply ask you to behave as naturally as you can.

Examples of the tactics and concepts (these are from the “handout” reading):

a) the foot-in-the door
b) door-in-the face
c) and that’s-not-all techniques
d) slowly escalating commitments
e) the illusion of choice
f) conformity and social proof
g) conveying illusions of authority, honesty, and likeability
h) the base-rate fallacy and negativity bias.

Sample persuasion experts and situations:

Car, jewelry, stereo, furniture, and insurance salespeople; timeshare seminars; parties to sell Tupperware, kitchenware, photo albums, and candles; military recruiters; funeral arrangement coordinators; street hustlers; scientology, Moonie, and other religious recruiters; and psychics.

Ethical Precautions

It is important to take precautions against placing yourself in unsafe situations. You must have your topic approved by me before carrying out the assignment. Occasionally, it might be necessary to suggest an alternative scenario if a proposed situation is too risky. Most cults, for example, are excellent illustrations of persuasion but I generally advise you not to subject yourself directly to their influence. Also, in situations where you will likely encounter hard-sell salespeople, use your best judgment about what point to exit the encounter. For example, if you are visiting a visiting car lot, do not to go beyond the test drive.

Write an analytical reflection paper on the experience:

Your reflection paper should provide readers with an overview of the entire persuasive experience. Be sure you include the following three ideas:

Analyze the tactics, persuasive concepts, and/or logical fallacies that were employed during your experience.
Reflect on how you responded to the tactics
Articulate how you (or someone you know) could more effectively resist similar persuasion attempts in the future.

Support your claims by quoting and discussing specific language from the respective text.

From p. 711 in Wiley Blackwell (Introduction): Literary and cultural critic Charles Johnson argues that contemporary African-American literature “represents a fiction of increasing artistic and intellectual growth, one that enables us as a people — as a culture — to move from narrow complain to broad celebration.” For this discussion please comment on Johnson’s observation in relation to a text by Alice Walker (b. 1944) pgs. 733-760.
