A master status is a status that dominates all other statuses that a persons holds at any given time or in any given context (Schaefer 2018). It has special importance for social identity, often determining a person’s general position in society. Thus, it can influence a person’s entire life trajectory, i.e., the types of jobs and relationships that a person has or is able to obtain. Master statuses include, but are not limited to, race, gender, class, disability, citizenship status, sexuality, etc.    In order to successfully complete this assignment, read: The Introduction, “Methodology,” “Results,” and “Organizational Mechanisms of Disability Discrimination” sections in Mechanisms of Disability Discrimination in Large Bureaucratic Organizations: Ascriptive Inequalities in the Workplace. The article is attached to this assignment   Use at least 500 words to respond to the discussion questions below.   From the research article, identify and define (in your own words) 2 interpersonal mechanisms of disability discrimination explained by the authors. How do these interpersonal mechanisms of discrimination prevent people with disabilities from performing successfully at work?    What do you think can be done to help society move beyond the label “disabled” and see people with disabilities as whole human beings? Provide at least one concrete solution/activity that you or a community group can do to spread awareness and help change the way society views people with disabilities (this question will require you to do some research—make sure to cite your work properly).    Now, describe a master status in your life. In what ways has this status shaped the assumptions that people make about who you are and what you can or cannot do? In what ways has your master status directly or indirectly shaped your life trajectory—what you have chosen (or not chosen) to achieve in life?  Instructions Type up your responses in a Word document.  Cite the necessary work, if applicable.   Make sure to proofread your work for spelling and grammatical errors.  Your document must be in 12-point Times New Roman or Courier font, double-spaced, have 1-inch margins, and have your complete name, date, and title of the assignment on top of the first page only.

Each student will conduct a search of the University’s online library resources to find 1 recent peer reviewed article (within the past 3 years) that closely relates to the Importance of Communications In International Negotiations. Your submission must include the following information in the following format: Key Term: Communication in International Negotiations DEFINITION: a brief definition of the key term followed by the APA reference for the term; this does not count in the word requirement. SUMMARY: Summarize the article in your own words- this should be in the 200-word range. Be sure to note the article’s author, note their credentials, and why we should put any weight behind his/her opinions, research, or findings regarding the key term. ANALYSIS: Using 350 words, write a brief analysis, in your own words of how the article relates to the selected chapter Key Term. An analysis is not rehashing what was already stated in the article, but the opportunity for you to add value by sharing your experiences, thoughts, and opinions. This is the most important part of the assignment. REFERENCES: All references must be listed at the bottom of the submission–in APA format.  Be sure to use the headers in your submission to ensure that all aspects of the assignment are completed as required. Any form of plagiarism, including cutting and pasting, will result in zero points for the entire assignment. NO PLAGIARISM AT ALL PLEASE Pages: 2 APA Format No grammar mistakes (Like Article errors etc) Must Include DEFINITION, SUMMARY, ANALYSIS Instructions on How to write an Articles, please refer below: HUGE HINT for Journal Article Review Analysis Sections. READ THIS NOW!  You should incorporate these topics into your analysis section. If you do, then the chances of earning a high grade are GREATLY increased, in fact, this is the FIRST thing I look for when grading your papers.  1. Explain why you selected this particular article among all the articles you could have chosen on your selected term. 2. Explain why you agree or disagree with the author’s key positions in the article.  3. Explain how the article was easy or difficult to understand and why?  4. What did the author do well in your opinion? Explain. 5. Describe what you believe the author could have done better in your opinion? 6. What else should the author have included in the article and would the article benefit from a different perspective (such as from a different nationality or different industry or experience perspective). Explain.  7. What other sources or methods could the author have used to improve the research in the article?  (Hint: look up the types of qualitative and types of quantitative research methods).  8. What information / in-depth study / or further research should the author focus on as a follow up to this article and why?  9. Explain what the audience would gain the most benefit from your selected article and how they could apply it in their professional lives.  10. What did you personally gain from this article and how has it shaped your thinking on the topic?   11. What are the conflicting or alternative viewpoints of the author’s position? Or  What additional research backs up and confirms or adds to the author’s position?  (Hint: this will require you to find another peer-reviewed article that challenges, confirms, or adds to, or provides a different perspective to your chosen article.) Next,  I look for the summary, writing quality, and formatting.  I am typically very lenient on the writing because I am more focused on your content, but I will also point out how the paper could be better written. I only heavily penalize poorly written papers when there are excessive writing problems. Why do I grade papers in this class this way?   One of the key differences in a Bachelor’s vs Master’s level is critical thinking. Bachelor’s level basically challenges direct knowledge and recall of information. The Master’s level is more about analysis and critical thinking and defending your position in a scholarly way. The analysis section of these papers is your opportunity to exercise critical thinking (that’s why I call this portion of your papers critiques).  Recalling or simply explaining the journal articles is a bachelor’s level task. When I see this in your papers I give the paper an automatic C. If the paper is poorly written it also gets an F.  To get a B or an A – you must provide a critique of the paper and the author and how well the author did and what you think of the article. The questions listed above do this properly.   I do not want to read your version of the journal article. I may as well read the journal article for myself.  Just briefly describe the article in your summary section  – but the analysis section is where you put in your personal critique – in other words, address the questions listed above and even add in additional thoughts based on your own creativity.
