Critical Thinking
Important!
Choose one of the following two assignments to complete this week. Do not do both assignments. Identify your assignment choice in the title of your submission.

Option #1: Identifying Most Valuable Activities (MVA) Worksheet

In the Module 1 video, Time Management Fundamentals (Crenshaw, 2018), you were asked to complete several worksheets to help you improve your time management skills. Using the Glossary and the Most Valuable Activities (MVA) worksheet attached, prepare a short essay addressing the following points:

  • Identify the terms listed in the Glossary that are most significant for you.
  • List your current work activities identified on the worksheet.
  • Identify your two MVAs and briefly explain why they are most valuable to you.
  • Explain how you plan to budget time for your most valuable activities.
  • Describe at least one takeaway from the video training course that you will apply and continue to use throughout your education.

Option #2: Mental Triggers Worksheet

In the Module 1 video, Time Management Fundamentals (Crenshaw, 2018), you were asked to complete several worksheets to help you improve your time management skills. In this video, Crenshaw (2018) identified multitasking as switch tasking and noted this practice as a thief.
After completing the Mental Triggers worksheet and the Gathering Points worksheet, both attached, prepare a short essay addressing the following points:

  • List your Mental Triggers and corresponding task(s) as directed in the  Mental Triggers  Worksheet.
  • Identify and record the number of Gathering Points found in your Total Box from the  Time Management Fundamentals   Gathering Points

This final writing assignment allows you to present an analysis of the best reasoning on each side of your issue. In the process, you will get to demonstrate some of the key skills you have learned during this course. In particular, you will demonstrate the ability to create high-quality arguments on both sides of an issue, to support your reasoning with scholarly sources, and to provide a fair analysis of the strength of the reasoning on each side. Use the same topic as you did on your previous papers and make sure to incorporate any relevant feedback you got from the instructor on your previous writing assignments. For an example of how to complete this paper, take a look at the Week 5 Example paper (in the classroom).
Your paper must include the following sections, clearly labeled:

  • Introduction
    • Introduce readers to your topic; include a brief preview of what you will accomplish in this paper. (approximately 150 words)
  • First Argument
    • Present the best argument on one side of the issue. (approximately 150 words)
      • Express your argument in standard form, with the premises listed one by one above the conclusion.
  • Defense for First Argument
    • Support the first argument as well as you can, using academic sources to demonstrate the truth of key premises. You may also choose to clarify the meaning of key premises and to explain how your reasoning supports the conclusion (approximately 250 words).
  • Opposing Argument
    • Present the best argument on the other side of the issue (approximately 150 words).
      • Express your argument in standard form.
  • Defense of Opposing Argument
    • Support the opposing argument as well as you can, using academic sources to demonstrate the truth of key premises. You are welcome as well to clarify the meaning of premises and/or to explain the reasoning further (approximately 250 words).
  • Analysis of the Reasoning (approximately 350 words)
    • Evaluate the quality of each argument, addressing whether key premises are true and whether the conclusion logically follows from them.
    • Analyze arguments for any fallacies committed or for any biases that may influence either side. Do you feel that one argument makes a much stronger case than the other and why? (There is no need to “take sides,” only to assess the quality of the arguments.)
    • Support your analysis with scholarly sources.
  • Conclusion (approximately 150 words)
    • Provide a brief conclusion and summary of your issue and how it can best be addressed by critical thinkers.

Research
Since launching your professional career, you’ve risen through the ranks because of your thorough understanding of the forces shaping mass media in modern society. You are now one of the most respected voices inside a media company considered as big and powerful as Time Warner, Facebook or News Corp. Your company’s eight major divisions are: television, news, film production, internet, social media, music, advertising, public relations. Across all of these divisions, the company CEO and her leadership team look to you for advice.
Because of several disturbing events in the past few years – from Black Lives Matter protests to undertones of white supremacy in national politics – it has become obvious to your company president that she must give higher priority to issues of racial/ethnic diversity. She wants the company to be known as fair to all and unafraid of taking unpopular stands when necessary, but she also thinks the company will be more profitable in the long run if it shows that it knows how to do business with all types of audiences and present a more forward-looking image. You’ve been asked to draft an in-house corporate memo outlining this new priority.
It should begin with a paragraph of no more than 200 words explaining to your company’s managers why approaching this issue with sensitivity and smarts is important when you are powerful enough that, frankly, you could do business any way you like. Convince your employees!
Next, the memo should address three of the eight divisions, explaining in about 300 words apiece the details of how you see the company’s new emphasis applying specifically to them. You can pick which divisions you want to talk about, but try to be as specific as you can about each of the three. Point out past mistakes made by other companies in that field if you like, and talk about what needs to be changed to reach your goals. It’s also acceptable to use recent examples of other companies setting good examples of what you hope to accomplish. Be sure your managers know what that division’s priorities are going to be for them.
Finally, give managers a list of articles, books or other resources that you’d like them to read for greater understanding of the points you’ve made. Include 10, and try to have at least three of them be applicable to each of the divisions you target, although there can certainly be overlap. List these in APA or Chicago style on a separate page at the end of your memo.
Tips for success
Create a name for your company. Have some fun, get into the role, give yourself a title if you like.
You’re creating this as a Word doc – double space, 12-point, 1-inch borders. Standard research paper style in appearance, but you don’t have to use footnotes or a reference page – just the list of resources described above.
You’re welcome to make use of up to three of the sources that I’ve used in class and posted in this module. I want you to find the rest of your list of 10 on your own, either from academic databases, popular magazines/newspapers, or appropriate websites. Each source included has your personal stamp of approval for its perspective on these issues.
Note that 1,000 words is a minimum and does not include the source list. I suspect you’ll want more than that to fully get your points across, but please don’t go beyond 2,000.

1-PAGE BRIEF
POSITION STATEMENT
Social media platforms are easy for designers to insert addictive designs, because social media has long been integrated into people’s lives. This addictive design by designers and application developers ignores the mental health of most users, so it deserves more people’s supervision and attention as a social issue.
To support your position statement, you’ll then construct a brief that offers the most compelling arguments and evidence in support of your position. For the example above, your brief would need to support the assertion that (a) housing advertising is ripe for discrimination; and (b) the use of digital advertising platforms for such discriminatory practices is a problem that demands intervention.
Your brief should be no more than one page in length, single-spaced. Again, I’m asking you to be clear and concise.

I will include my papers I have written over the semester that you can get ideas from and reword for this paper.
You will also be able to find 8 of the 5 theorists she requires in my papers and a summary of what they stood for.
Final Paper (70 points)Write an 8 page paper (8 pages of text, include a bibliography at the end) that explores course readings and themes in greater detail. Develop an original thesis and support your argument with the texts from the course. In the paper you should:

  1. Use at least 5 theorists from course readings to analyze some aspect of popular culture, daily life or social interactions, politics, literature, art, etc. Develop an original thesis statement and support your argument.
  2. Take issue with a theory or theorist we have read.  In this case, you will need to use other sources (in addition to the one you critique, either from course readings or from outside sources) to back up your claims.
  3. Put two or more theorists from course readings in conversation with one another to expand on or develop a key debate within feminist theory.

DETAILS
Based on the general description of the final paper on the syllabus, as well as the detailed approach to Critical Response papers, keep the grade criteria below in mind as you create your final papers.
REMINDER: Please write a paper on a topic YOU are genuinely exited about. Also, keep in mind your REAL BAD NEWS citations should engage communities (agencies/organizations, scholars, libraries, legal issues) you are interested in communicating with in the future.
CONTENT (25 points) Use at least 5 theorists from course readings to analyze some aspect of popular culture, daily life or social interactions, politics, literature, art, etc. Develop an original thesis statement and support your argument. Weave in themes from your Critical Response papers, but do not simply just combine the papers as they are. Develop an argument and use the former papers (or new info from course readings) as evidence to support your main idea. This is basis of your work.
STRUCTURE (25 points)Of the five theorists, put two or more of them from course readings in conversation with one another to expand on or develop a key debate within feminist theory. Though you will reference several theorists from the course, focus on two main thinkers to represent your exploration of a topic related to your present or future academic/professional interests.
SOURCES (20 points)Take issue with a theory or theorist we have read.  In this case, you will need to use other sources (in addition to the one you critique, either from course readings or from outside sources) to back up your claims. Incorporate the REAL BAD NEWS source types to supplement your analysis of the course reading. Of the 15 source types listed on the source guide, use at least 10 types.
