The challenge involved pouring a bucket filled with ice and water over a person’s head, followed by the person nominating 3 people who then had to take the challenge. The person would then making a contribution to ALS research. The challenge quickly became viral, gaining support and participation from celebrities. As a result of the challenge, traffic to the ALS web page increased, over 250,000 new donors signed up, and over 13.3 million dollars was raised.NOTE 3: You cannot use the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in your project.SECTION 3: ANALYSISWhat was the full impact of the use of Digital or Social Media?Item 1: Was the change created by the use of digital or social media positive or negative (or both) in your opinion?Item 2: How successful was the company in accomplishing the objective? Support your answer.Item 3: List one thing the company could have done better to accomplish their objective.To help you with completing Section 3, we have provided two examples below:Section 3 Example 1: Invisible Children – Kony 2012The Kony 2012 campaign had both positive and negative results:The Kony 2012 campaign received global attention. This attention lead to political and military action. The US government, lead by President Obama, backed a mission of 5,000 soldiers to James Kony.The organization came under scrutiny as many have questioned their efforts (see YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okmswBs4rdg or CNN report at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEVKNVTnYRA).James Kony has not been caught. Some people even believe that he is no longer living or a threat to the region.Section 3 Example 2: The ALS Ice Bucket ChallengeThe Ice Bucket Challenge was extremely successful. The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge increased the level of awareness of ALS and was extremely positive.The Ice Bucket Challenge campaign has ended. In order to sustain the effort by coming up with a new challenge each year. One idea would be to use a number of celebrities to start the new challenge every year. Also, the association could do a better job of showing how the money donated has gone to furthering the cause. I would also create a thank you video from current ALS patients. The key here is to find ways to take advantage of the momentum the Ice Bucket Challenge initially created.Section 3 Sources: Include at least two sources for Section 3.

You should briefly describe the article and how the authors applied the program planning or evaluation process or theory that was the focus of the reading and the assignment that week. Then you should provide a thoughtful critique of whether the authors applied this process or theory properly or fully, whether this was the most appropriate and feasible choice to make, and how you would have improved upon their approach. You should refer to and cite the course readings to strengthen their critical arguments.

Please see attachment. You should be able to write about the subject with the material i provided. According to choreographer Agnes de Mille, she played a large part in putting a primary focus on female sexual desire in the play as the plot developed. Please address one or more of the following points in your discussion of sex and romance in Oklahoma! Its obvious from the first notes of Surrey with the Fringe on Top that Laurey Williams and Curly McLain are sweet on each other and destined to marry (since engagement and/or marriage were the conventional endings to musicals of the period).o Why does Laurey ask Judd Frye to take her to the box social, given that she tells Aunt Eller that she is afraid of him? ? Is it fair of Laurey to ask Jud to be her escort? Does fairness even matter in this situation? Why? ? What does the dream ballet tell us about Laureys feelings about Jud and Curley? ? If you were playing Laurey, is fear the only emotion you would show toward Jud? ? Why does Laurey ultimately choose Curly over Jud? Ado Annie is a definite challenge to the good girl and bad girl stereotypes common to musical theatre of the time. o Is Ado Annie a proto-feminist icon who chooses when and how she takes her pleasure? How much responsibility does Annie take for her actions? How aware is she of potential consequences? (For example, is she fully aware of Ali Hakims intentions toward her?) o Is Annie a potential/actual slut whose desires have to be policed (shotgun marriage to man of her fathers choice) because of the threat she poses to herself, her family, and the larger community? o Both Ado Annies father (Andrew Carnes) and her fianc (Will Parker) object to Annies behavior with other men. Are both mens judgement and concerns about and for Annie presented as equally valid? What about their proposed solutions to Annies wayward ways? Where does Aunt Eller fit in the continuum of female sexuality? Sex and sexuality (of course) are of interest to the men as well as the women. How would you characterize the male attitudes toward their own need/right to pursue sexual activity (anything from holding hands to intercourse)? And their attitudes toward womens ability to do the same? o Andrew Carnes o Curly McLain o Will Parker and the men who sing and dance Kansas City with him o Ali Hakim and the men who sing and dance Its a Scandal! Its an Outrage! o Jud Frye Please watch Oklahoma Musical by Oscar Hammerstein II and Richard Rodgers.

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review Chapter 9 of the Van Herk text, paying close attention to the information about Hymes’ S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G model. Frequently refer to your Week 3 Final Paper Outline: S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G in Real Life assignment and the observations you made of the speech event, and assess it using Hymes’ S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G model.This week, you will write your Final Paper based on your outline, synthesizing it with scholarly and/or credible sources and concepts from the textbook, and posit a unique sociolinguistic thesis about the situation and event that you recorded.In your paper, include the following structure:• Title: 10 to 12 words maximum. Make sure it is the same as the header.• Introduction: The introductory paragraph should begin with some background information and narrow it down to the thesis statement in the last sentence or two. Describe the speech situation, event, and participants very briefly. This is the place to provide background information on the where, when, who, why, and how of the speech event. In the last sentence, include a thesis statement relating your observation to the S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G model. The thesis statement points the reader to the main foci of the paper and the order in which they will be discussed. Make sure your paper follows the order listed in the thesis statement.• Body paragraphs: You may give each aspect of the S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G model a paragraph or more. A paragraph is like a mini paper. Start each paragraph with a thesis statement that includes what you will discuss. This will allow for smoother transition from one aspect to another. Then, include supporting direct and indirect conversation speech. Analyze your observations using terms and concepts from the textbook and scholarly sources. If applicable, make sure the sources you use are related to your findings. Do not summarize the sources, simply use them to validate your arguments.• Conclusion: Summarize the paper and return to the thesis statement. You may include comments about your observation experience. You can also point to further directions for research on this type of speech analysis. Remember, the conclusion is not a place to begin new topics.• References page: You must use at least three scholarly and/or credible sources that support your observations in addition to the textbook. Cite all sources in text and include them on the references page.In your paper, you should expand each section of your outline into a well-crafted Final Paper, incorporating the instructor feedback from the Week 3 Final Paper Outline: S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G in Real Life assignment in your final submission.In your Final Paper,• Analyze the recorded conversation in terms of the eight aspects of the S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G acronym with observations on gender, power relations, age, ethnicity, race, and factors such as the use of dialect, accent, paralinguistics, and so forth that inform the dynamic of the conversation.• Compare linguistic variations and how language is impacted by race, gender, socioeconomic class, and so forth.• Develop a thesis that describes the speech situation and event and asserts a sociolinguistic point.• Analyze how these perceptions and realities impact areas of public policy such as the method employed by politicians, advertisers, and popular culture as well as aspects of gender, class, power, and dialect where appropriate.• Examine various linguistic concepts that you have explored in this course and that apply to your analysis of your recorded event.• Explain how a greater understanding of sociolinguistics can affect tangible change in the real world.• Determine how sociolinguistics intersects with areas of career or academic interest to you.
