Hello Everyone:   Audience: What was the speaker’s target audience? How do you know? After watching the video, I noticed a mix of parents and grandparents, younger adults, and older adults. Some of the younger adults included moms and dads, and some came without spouses or partners; they could be single parents, but most probably, parenting techniques are part of their main concern and interest for attending this show.  Introduction: Identify the speaker’s attention-getter, topic, and thesis. Did the attention-getter grab your interest? Why or why not? What was the speaker’s thesis or central idea?  · Attention-Getter: I think she used different attention-getter techniques. Having baby Ari sit in his high chair with giggles at the beginning of the show brought laughs and joy to the audience, then introducing his dad and pointing to his role in demonstrating her central idea, which is a perfect anecdote. In addition, she raised a speculating question to challenge the audience if they ever knew that a game of peek-a-boo could change the world! Personally, I did not know that, and this daring question interested me in learning more about this experience. I think using baby “Ari” and his dad was an appropriate attention-getter human device; she used them as a reference to her main topic. · Topic: The speaker “Molly” said that she would be talking about some powerful things that grownups can do that can shape children and shape them as adults as well. · Thesis/Central Idea: I believe her thesis would be, “Thanks to scientists, we now know just how important the first five years are for our health and development, especially our brains.” What made me think this is her thesis is that she referred back to Ari and how he started to learn since he was in his mom’s tummy.   Body: How did the speaker support her claim (thesis)? The speaker started showing pictures of Ari’s family, including when his mom was pregnant and after he was born, which referred to the same thesis. Then, she explained how he was very tiny when born and that he was crying and pooping a lot. This statement is used to show how changes happened to this baby inside his brain to the point that now he laughs and giggles a lot. Which means he has grown and learned more than we think as parents. She supported her thesis with visual aids; she used beanbags to show the volume of a baby’s brain against the volume of a child’s brain. Molly, the speaker, is very clever because she included facts about brain development and how adults can help their children during their years of development. For example, the baby’s brain develops faster in its early years than in any other year, with the ability to create up to a million neural connections every second. Most importantly, she connected this fact with how adults and parents can help children during this sensitive time by explaining the Serve & Return strategy and its five important tips (connection, talking, playing, having a healthy home, and community). Scientists developed this strategy to promote healthy children’s development. Lastly, she further explained her thesis by exhibiting the strategy’s five points when baby Ari and his dad Amarjot demonstrated each of these points live to the audience. This experiment was very helpful in proving her thesis, demonstrating it in real life, showing immediate effects, and proving her credibility. Conclusion: Did the speaker end strongly? Why or why not?   Yes! The speaker’s ending was very strong. She not only explained the benefits of using these five tips but also demonstrated how they work. She reminded the audience of her thesis, the main points of her topic, and the serve and return strategy and encouraged them to practice them as early as possible and more often. The conclusion, which ended with cheers for Amarjot and Ari, was a positive sign of the success of her speech, especially when the audience stood up enthusiastically, cheering for her outstanding performance and delivery. Presentation Aids: Describe the presentation aids used by the speaker. Were they effective? Why or why not? The speaker’s aids were very effective and appropriate for the topic and the audience. Using the beanbags as a descriptive visual was a clever choice to show the difference between a baby’s and a child’s brains. Also, the short live video used to demonstrate the five tips of the Serve & Return strategy successfully and effectively demonstrated each point and how they worked. The video was the strongest aid in proving her thesis and credibility. In addition, she used scientific information that backed her central idea.  Delivery: Evaluate the delivery of the speech. What was done particularly well? I loved that the speaker was a 7-year-old child who demonstrated her ability to deliver a successful speech because her parents used the Serve & Return strategy. I enjoyed how she incorporated fun facts and appropriate jokes and stated how other kids in the world could be more fortunate if their parents did the same as her parents. What I enjoyed the most was the short live performance by baby Ari and his dad Amarjot, demonstrating how the strategy works and how it is successful.

This anecdote shows the beginning of the baby’s upbringing that shaped him, and it made it relatable. The topic of this speech is “the powerful things grown-ups can do that shape children and the adults they become” (Wright, 2021).

Hello Everyone:

 

Audience: What was the speaker’s target audience? How do you know?

After watching the video, I noticed a mix of parents and grandparents, younger adults, and older adults.

Regression Assignment #8 (Spring 2024) Instructions: Read the following scenario, and then answer the questions that follow (5 points) Do social media users like things more if other users like them first? A natural field experiment by Egebark and Ekström (2018) explored the micro-level determinants of conformity in social media. They predicted that social media posts that had high levels of positive support (as indicated by the number of likes from prior users) would lead future users to also like the posts. Using the “Number of Original Likes” (X) and the “Number of New Likes” (Y) in the table below, fill in the blank spaces to assess this relationship. (Hint: Complete this chart offline. Then, answer questions 1 through 5). I’ll complete the first 10 calculations for you, but you need to do the rest. Round to two decimal places.

4.1 Discussion: You Call Me Getting Started We are known to ourselves and others by many names and faces, the faces of our “student selves,” our “parent selves,” our “friend selves,” and even our “alone selves.” Have you ever thought about what your “child-of-God self” is like? What are you like when it is only you and God? What are you like when all is stripped away and the many faces and masks have been laid to rest? It may very well be that we are never so beautiful as when we are in the presence of our Lord, vulnerable, broken, needing, and sometimes even afraid. It is in these moments when we are our most real, our most authentic and genuine selves. There is so much beauty in this type of vulnerability. Upon successful completion of the course material, you will be able to: · Identify three key aspects about yourself by which God “calls you.” Resources · Bible · Video: You Call Me Background Information Consider this passage of scripture in John, wherein Jesus meets the Samaritan woman drawing water from a deep well. When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?” Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.” He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.” “I have no husband,” she replied. Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.” John 4:7–18 Do you remember what the Samaritan woman told others about her encounter with Jesus? She was not upset that he saw all her flaws and sins! Quite the contrary—she was excited that the Messiah, the Chosen One, HAD seen her! Overjoyed, she left her water jar and went back into town to urge her neighbors, “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” John 4:29 So often we try to hide our true selves from one another and even from ourselves. But Jesus sees us. Jesus knows us. It isn’t that He “loves us anyway.” He loves us. He loves us . . . period. Here is a devotional challenge: Find a quiet place away from all the noise and hubbub of the world. Pray, praise, talk, laugh . . . with God. Let Him see you. Allow yourself to KNOW that He sees you. What does this experience feel like? Is it healing? Is it frightening? Instructions 1. Spend time (at least 15 minutes) alone with God. 2. Review the video,  You Call Me . a. Transcript of the video . 3. Navigate to the Discussion page and respond to the following prompts: a. What was it like to be alone with God? What was it like to be you, just you? b. How is the genuine you different from or similar to the public you that others typically see? 4. Your postings should also: a. Be well developed by providing clear answers with evidence of critical thinking. b. Add greater depth to the discussion by introducing new ideas. image1.png image2.png image3.png

Please see attachment. A literature review, though it has some of the same qualities as a traditional research paper, serves a different aim. As mentioned, researchers must explore existing social work research in their topic by writing a literature review which situates their proposed study among other studies in the field. In this way, the various research studies “talk to each other” by telling a story about the current state of knowledge on a social work topic. It’s a good idea to keep your research question in flux while you explore the literature and to tweak it or take it in a new direction based on what you see. Why might that be? In this Discussion, you explore the function of a literature review in the research process and consider the ramifications of deciding on a research question too early, before thoroughly surveying the existing literature. Assignment Below: Write explanation of how a literature review differs from a traditional research paper for a course. In your explanation, address the function of a literature review. Finally, describe potential consequences of deciding on a research question without conducting a thorough review of the literature. Please use the Learning Resources to support your post (i.e., cite and reference).
