Please, define the African Diaspora.  Also, consider the political forces/dynamics behind its emergence as a global phenomenon. How did the idea of West/Europe emerge and how is it related to the idea of Africa and Global Blackness?  What does it mean to belong to the African Diaspora (as a global community) in light of the very diverse experiences of black people around the globe?  Who does belong to the African Diaspora, anyway? These questions are merely a guide to your reflection. Instead of responding to each one as a Q & A, please see them as an invitation to focus on these aspects of the readings. Your assignment is a  500-word entry in which you identify the main arguments, draw connections with previous readings, and pose some questions. You are expected to engage with the authors on their terms, not yours! Specifics: one-page, single-spaced, times new roman 12’

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:  In this discussion, you will have an opportunity to make connections between your prior knowledge and the new content you are learning this week. Use your results from this week’s “Build Your Proficiency” Diagnostic to provide context for your prior knowledge and consider the new content about fossil fuels and energy resource management to answer the following questions:  What are the sources, uses, and any problems associated with 1) fossil, 2) nuclear, and 3) renewable fuels? How did your results from the “Build Your Proficiency” Diagnostic reflect an understanding, or lack of understanding, about this content? How has your understanding changed this week?

PROMPT 1 When we study the Olmec culture and Classic Period Maya culture, we see again that scholars emphasize the role of ritual in the emergence of elites (or “rulers”) in these communities. Fox (1996) and Lucero (2003) describe different kinds of rituals, and argue that these rituals were pivotal to the development and maintenance of the Classic Maya kingdoms. Each of the authors describe relationships between household (or small-scale) rituals and grandiose public rituals. Identify two ways that public ritualized behavior performed by elites connect with common people’s daily lives. (1) How do those connections make the public rituals more useful for the elites? (2) How do the connections make the rituals more useful for the commoners? You need to combine two examples. One example must be from the Classic Maya, while the second can be from any culture we’ve studied, or from a modern culture. For example: Every four years in the United States, a ritual occurs in which politicians who wish to become President appear on stage next to each other in order to repeat their campaign slogans in such a way that it is called “a debate.” For many decades that performance had great social and political power because it was familiar to citizens who had been required to take part in structured debates in their schools. Citizens felt that they understood the “rules of the game” and could sympathize with the candidates. The ritual both humanized the politicians and showed that they understood issues of great complexity. In more recent years, the presidential debates have become less meaningful (except as a way for candidates to be caught in poor dramatic performances) in part because students in the United States education system rarely take part in debates, and it is no longer a part of their young lives.

1. Define the differences between goals, strategies, and tactics in a campaign. Next, using the example we used yesterday (a campaign to get students more interested/engaged with the COMM department at BSU via social media) provide an example of i) one SMART* objective, ii) a strategy statement (1 sentence), and iii) sample tactics (x2-3). *SMART Objectives are: S=specific M=measureable A=achievable R=realistic T=have a timeline 2. If a primary audience for your ‘campaign’ is BSU COMM students, who could be a secondary audience? And a tertiary audience? 3. For the 2019 Super Bowl, the brand Skittles produced a 30-minute Broadway musical which included a song titled “Advertising Ruins Everything.” What reasons would compel Skittles to include such a song in their branded content? 4. As TopRank pointed out “Facts tell, stories sell” (Odden, 2015). What’s an example you can think of that demonstrates how a story can be effectively used to sell something?

The purpose of this assignment is to make you become more critically aware of musical sounds in your daily life, how they are used, and what is their function. Music is all around us, some of which is fore fronted in our awareness, such as concerts, or practicing a musical instrument, or listening at home to a new song on your iPod; while others are mere background, a kind of sonic wallpaper which we may not even be aware of, such as music playing in a store, or music in commercials, films, or TV shows. In the time of covid-19, the musicscape has gone through a transformation. Concerts have been canceled, audiences have disappeared, rehearsals suspended, live events now broadcast remote via pixel dots. Yet people have found ways to be together musically, whether on the internet or apartment balconies. This musicscape, of course, is part of a more encompassing soundscape, which itself has undergone transformation. Staying at home, for example, seems to have led to a reduction in traffic, thus quieter streets and less pollution, though this is rapidly changing. All of this is material for a well-constructed paper (6-8 double spaced pages) that demonstrates critical thought. The paper must cite at least 3 specific examples from your musicscape and 3 examples from other appropriate sources (newspapers, magazines, media sites, journal articles). Your paper should address the following questions: How is music situated within your particular soundscape? Are there overall patterns? How do particular musical genres relate to specific situations? What were the functions and uses of music (emotional release, to sell a product, enhance a film, worship as a community)? Was most of the music mediated or live, passive or active, or, these days, virtual which is somewhere in between these binaries? What kind of conclusions or statements can be made about the musicscape around you and by extension to the United States? Are there aspects of this musicscape that are unique? Importantly, how has the musicscape changed due to the pandemic? Your paper should engage these types of questions about music-culture explored in Chapter 1 of your text and in class lectures. Your papers must be in 12-point font, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins.

I need a report for master degree project and this report should show understanding of technology impact on media and mass communication in different ways. It provides an in-depth framework of the world of digital communications, covering both conceptual and practical aspects. In addition, this report should point out the dynamic relationship between new mass communication forms, technology and society.  the main point that we will focus on are : What Was Television?  In the network era, the television was as a domestic, non portable medium used to bring the outside world into the home, Program options for viewers were limited to national networks that delivered content on a linear through the day schedule.  The process of digital switchover from conventional to digital television Starting from BBC lunched its online streaming and download IN 2007. The challenges for the television industry in the new television landscape – A lot of big channels lost their audience  – Measurement the audience  How television consumption is changing and what are the important changes that occurred in the behavior of the recipient audience in light of this transition? The arrival of digitalization has modified television consumption. As the audience is no longer tied to schedules and the programme grid has diminished in importance as consumers adopt technologies..  Audiovisual content can still be enjoyed live via television sets but now we can also watch it on the screens of other devices such as computers, tables or even through our mobiles. And video streaming is playing an important role in this era: video streaming services allowed the young directors to shine in the sky and show their talents as they do not have a place in the regular market.  because now video streaming service having their own production line. Such as Netflix, Shahid, and watchit. Also there are a lot of production companies create a video streaming line to capture more audience such as watch-it owned by Synergy case studies – netflix  – watchit in egypt
