I’m working on a communications writing question and need support to help me understand better.For this assignment you have two choices.Join an online community or participate in an online discussion, chat group, or live event where you are in the minority.
ORAttend an event that you would not normally attend where you will be in the minority in some way. This could include attending a religious service of a different faith, a concert with unfamiliar music, a trip to a grocery store that specializes in non-American cuisine, a restaurant that serves food that you would never dream of eating, volunteering at a homeless shelter, etc
Part 1: WriteWrite a three to four-page paper reflecting on this experience.
Document the experience: Explain why you selected the venue/event/group. Describe the people that you encountered, and summarize what actually happened during the experience.
Analyze the situation and your perceptions:How were you different from the larger group?
Did you have any pre-existing assumptions, biases, or stereotypes before engaging in this activity?
How do you think these may have influenced your perceptions initially?
Did your perceptions change?
Analyze your experience in terms of the stages of perception described in the text.
Did you feel you were treated differently than the others in attendance and if so, do you think this assessment is accurate?
Perhaps it is, but also consider what perceptual limits may have been influencing your experience. Could it have been a combination of both?
Include an introduction and a conclusion.
Include citations from the text where necessary.
REMEMBER: You want to create a fully developed paper with a logical flow rather than a list of responses to the set of prompts. You don’t need to address each prompt individually, nor in the order in which they are presented. While you should cover the requested information, think about synthesizing it into a logical, organized essay.By Sunday, upload your paper.
