Behaviorism

Post is of two assignments

1:Discuss Ryles concept of categorical mistake under the light of his behaviorism. Does his view reveal to us the very nature of our mind?

2: Music Video Analysis

Order Description

In 1,500 words, explore how the video works to (re)produce and/or challenge (1) cultural constructions of identity and/or (2) genre codes and conventions. Within your analysis you must engage with and respond to at least two of the
required readings from this section of the unit.

Music Video: 2NE1 – ?? ?? ? ??(I AM THE BEST) M/V

– Michael A. Unger, “The Aporia of Presentation: Deconstructing the Genre of K-pop Girl Group Music Videos in South Korea,” In Journal of Popular Music Studies 27/1, 2015, pp. 25-47.
– Rosalind Gill, “Postfeminist media culture: Elements of a sensibility,” In European Journal of
Cultural Studies, 10/2, 2007, pp. 147-166.

Choose how to describe the music video (which scenes to mention, which costumes to discuss, and so on and so forth) based on what is “at stake”, as outlined in the readings. So, for example, in the Lady Gaga article, O’Brien is exploring whether or not feminism exists within mainstream contemporary pop music. If this is the theme that is also “at stake” for you, then you will discuss your music video in a way that highlights its aspects (costuming, choreography, setting, editing, and so on) that help you reflect upon that theme.

3:Interpersonal Communications

Order Description

Identify and explain elements of interpersonal communication discussed in this course. The subject of your analysis will be a movie (of your own choosing) that illustrates principles of interpersonal communication.
Steps:

During Week 1 you selected a movie you have seen that illustrates various aspects of interpersonal communication.
Prepare a written analysis of interpersonal communication principles as depicted in the movie.
In the initial paragraph, tell what the movie is about and provide a brief description of the main characters.
Analyze the movie, identifying at least 20 specific communication principles from the course that it illustrates.(Your overviews of at least two principles should relate to scripture references used in the weekly course devotionals.)
For each topic application:
Identify and briefly define the topic.
Describe the incident or situation in the movie.
Describe the effect the incident or situation had on the interaction or relationship.It is very important that you demonstrate an understanding of course terminology and concepts in your discussion.

One major area of breakdown in marriages and families today is communication. The apostle Paul used the word corrupt to describe speech that has the power to tear people down, adults and children alike (Eph. 4:29). He also stated that good communication is “necessary edification,” for it has the power to build people up.

Here are examples of corrupt communication we often aim at our children: “Can’t you do anything right?” “What’s wrong with you?” “You’ll never learn.” “You’re always breaking something.” “Oh, let me do it.” The list is endless. But so are examples of edifying communication. A list called “99 Ways to Say ‘Very Good'” offers these encouraging words: “That’s it!” “You’re really working hard today.” “I’m very proud of you.” “Now you’ve figured it out.” “You are very good at that.” “That’s the way!” “Now that’s what I call a fine job.” “Good thinking.”

Paul said that when we edify others through our speech, we impart grace, or spiritual benefit, to their lives (v.29). Let’s examine our speech habits for careless words, and then resolve to build up every person we meet, especially children. Remember, people need encouragers more than they need critics. Which one are you? —Joanie Yoder

Button up your lip securely
‘Gainst the words that bring a tear,
But be swift with words of comfort,
Words of praise, and words of cheer. –Loucks
