Make Powerpoint Presentation   

Week 7 Discusison Board: Reaction/Reflection Video Response

Sociological analysis focuses on group interaction. Group descriptions are based on aggregated statistical data – but what is true of the group is not necessarily true of each individual within that group. All of us belong to ascribed groups which have become Mater Statuses, each of which Schaefer discusses in varying detail. In this video recorded Power Point presentation, students will consider their reaction to the textbook’s presentation of one group to which they belong. The successful presentation will include:

· Your initial reaction to the presentation of an ascribed group to which you belong

· An exploration of the process by which you intellectualized your feelings, and

· Some objective conclusions you’ve reached

By its nature, this project focuses on a subjective process (an explicitly introspective analysis), but the presentation should be as objective as possible, to explain that process to other students.

The goals are both to describe your reaction, and to present yourself as an individual, not just a member of the group(s) to which you belong.

Requirements:

· Create a Kaltura video of a Power Point presentation (The following tutorials (Links to an external site.) will help you create your video response

· The power point presentation should be comprised of approximately 4-6 slides, with 3-4 points on each.

· Additionally, include a Title slide and a Reference slide (at a minimum, as this is a reaction to Schaefer, his text should be cited).

· Upload your video as a discussion board response.

· Reply to at least two other students, preferably to those whose presentations reflect other group statuses than your own.

Assignment 2

Retake the same two implicit association tests you took in Week 1 from Harvard University’s Project Implicit (Links to an external site.)

Take screen grabs of the results and attach them as an appendix, along with the results from Week 1, at the end of the reflections paper.

Compare/contrast your results this time with those from Week 1

· Were there any differences?

· To what do you attribute the differences or lack of differences?

· Do your implicit associations match your conscious feelings any better than they did in Week 1?

· Critically reflect on the results and how you can apply them to your live and interactions with others.

You may want to re-read these non-academic links to put your results into better context:

· How does implicit bias influence behavior? (Links to an external site.)

· Is implicit bias a useful scientific concept? (Links to an external site.)

Write a 3-4 page paper reflecting on the comparative results of your two sets of implicit bias tests. Remember that if you use content from your first paper to cite yourself accordance with APA formatting. If you have any questions about how to do this, your instructor will be able to guide you.
