EXERCISE #3 Emotions, Social Cognition, CommunicateYou will upload your completed file (.doc, .docx, .pdf only)Please number/letter each response, and make your answers concise.The objective of this exercise is for you to apply the perspectives and concepts from the course to your own life and life course experiences, and in doing so to show that you have mastered the course material. This is an independent assignment, thus each student’s answers must be unique; “shared” work will result in a shared failing grade. As well as self-reflection, you will need to select a newspaper/online site to complete this assignment (you will include a screenshot or .jpg with your file), and arrange to watch TV. Points are indicated in [brackets], with a total of 100 possible.1) Emotion [Total=30]a) Go to a public location, such as a dining hall, shopping mall, or library. Observe the people in the space, and do your best to discern their emotions. Pay attention to contextual clues. Provide as much detail as possible to justify your label (choose 2 cases). [10]b) Complete box 5.2 in your text; how emotionally intelligent are you? Do you think this is more a product of your personality or your socialization? [10]c) Examine how your place in the social structure shapes your experience and display of emotions. Consider your gender, your age, your social class, or other factors that you believe influence how you experience and display emotions, and then apply them to any two of the following: happiness, love, anger, or grief. [10]2) Social Cognition. [Total=30]a) Select two comic strips (with multiple frames; get the same strip two days in a row). Provide a schematic profile -- describe the various social schemas (person, group, role, event) that are enacted/portrayed. Describe any errors in cognitive processing. Were a stereotype threat or self-fulfilling prophecy operating? [10]b) Think of a time when a decision you made or a behavior you participated in was not aligned with your beliefs and attitudes. How did it make you feel? Did you experience cognitive dissonance? If not, why not; if so, how did you try to resolve the negative feelings? [10]e) Assume that UCI is concerned about binge drinking, and they’ve hired you to create a campaign or program that will change (i.e., reduce) student’s drinking behavior. Using what you know about the relationship between attitudes and behaviors, what would be the best approach? Justify your reasoning by drawing on social psychological concepts and the studies presented in the chapter. [10]3) Social Interaction and Communication. [Total=40]Select a comic strip (must have multiple frames).a) Briefly describe the place/event/scene, and the participants/roles/relationships. How is the conversation/ communication initiated (or if it is in progress, how do you know?) What non-verbal symbolic vehicles are used – gestures, body language, spacing, physical characteristics and personal effects? How is paralanguage represented? To analyze the verbal communication, consider the type of content, any jargon, the rules of conversation that are followed or not, and the purpose/success of the interaction. Consider the relative “talk time” of each participant, interruptions, topic changes, questions, and requests; is one participant dominant – how do you know? What social structural differences are evident among the participants (gender, age, SES, ethnicity)? [15]b) Examine three recent conversations or exchanges you had with other people via either email, text, or other electronic media (Twitter, Facebook, online message boards). You do not need all the conversations to come from the same group of people, or use the same electronic media.Consider how the media shapes communication; in what ways does it restrict how you communicate compared to verbal communication (initiation, feedback, coordination)? Are there any ways in which computer mediated communication allows for more clarity than in verbal communication? How did members of the conversation compensate for any challenges to clarity or accuracy posed by the technology? [10]c) Consider the major relationships and groups of which you are a part. For each relational tie, describe the bond profile – primary or secondary; including intimacy, task, social power/influence, and/or self-involvement. Contrast the bond profile and typical interactions with your social relationship with your best friend and with your teaching assistant. [15]

The Impact of Climate Change on Food SecurityOverviewThe United Nations (UN) has hired you as a consultant, and your task is to assess the impact that global warming is expected to have on population growth and the ability of societies in the developing world to ensure the adequate security of their food supplies.Case AssessmentAs the world’s population nears 10 billion by 2050, the effects of global warming are stripping some natural resources from the environment. As they diminish in number, developing countries will face mounting obstacles to improving the livelihoods of their citizens and stabilizing their access to enough food. The reason these governments are struggling even now is that our climate influences their economic health and the consequent diminishing living standards of their peoples. Climate changes are responsible for the current loss of biodiversity as well as the physical access to some critical farming regions. As such, these changes in global weather patterns diminish agricultural output and the distribution of food to local and international markets. These difficulties will become even more significant for these countries as the Earth’s climate changes for the worse. Temperatures are already increasing incrementally, and polar ice caps are melting, so the salient question is: what does this suggest for developing societies?The issue before the developing world is not its lack of food, but rather how to gain access to food. Simply put, changes in our climate are affecting the global food chain, and hence, the living standards of entire populations. Added to this is the fact that food is not getting to where it is needed in time to prevent hunger or starvation. In many developing countries, shortages are due to governments’ control over distribution networks rather than an insufficient supply of food itself. In effect, these governments are weaponizing food by favoring certain ethnic or religious groups over others. When added to dramatic climate changes that we are experiencing even now, the future for billions of poor people looks increasingly dim.InstructionsYou are to write a minimum of a 5 page persuasive paper for the UN that addresses the following questions about the relationship between atmospheric weather patterns and food security in the developing world:Climate change and global warming are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same phenomenon. What are the differences between the two concepts and what leads to the confusion between them?In 1900, the average global temperature was about 13.7° Celsius (56.7° Fahrenheit) (Osborn, 2021), but as of 2020, the temperature has risen another 1.2°C to 14.9°C (58.9°F). According to the Earth and climate science community, if the Earth’s surface temperature rises another 2°C (3.6°F), we will suffer catastrophic weather patterns that, among other things, will raise sea levels, cause widespread droughts and wildfires, result in plant, insect, and animal extinctions, and reduce agricultural productivity throughout the world (Mastroianni, 2015 and Lindsey & Dahlman, 2020). How much credibility do you place in these projections? Why?There is no question that the Earth’s food sources are threatened by changes in its weather patterns, but what specific challenges does climate change pose to the food security of people in the developing world?There is currently a debate among some multinational lending agencies like the International Monetary Fund, UNICEF, and AID over the financial support for food security has been misused by recipient government officials. On the other hand, U.S. authorities insist that misuse of its assistance is not occurring because it has strict monitoring oversight in place. What is your position on this matter? Is there evidence that financial assistance to developing governments is being widely misused by government officials?GuidelinesThis course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). For assistance and information, please refer to the SWS link in the left-hand menu of your course and check with your professor for any additional instructions.In order to earn full credit, your paper must be divided into at least four full pages of content (one page to address each of the four questions above), and include at least a one-half page introduction and a one-half page conclusion – making a minimum total of five full pages of text.You must use at least seven credible sources (excluding Wikipedia, dictionaries, and encyclopedias) that are appropriate for the subjects under discussion.You must use only double-spacing and not place extra spacing between paragraphs or section headings.The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is as follows:Evaluate the impacts that climate changes are having on the growth of global populations and the security of their food sources.ReferencesLiz Osborn. 2021.
