Your company has not changed its logo in over 30 years and has decided the time has come to rebrand with a new icon that reflects your company’s history, goals, and service to customers. Write a double-spaced, one-page news release for customers, potential clients, and the general public informing them about the change and explaining how the new design reflects your company’s ideals as they celebrate this important milestone. (Note–you may use the logo you have already designed or talk about another one that you like.)
When creating a news (also called press) release, use the inverted-pyramid format taught in class (the most important information goes in the lead paragraph–the 5W’s–Who, What, When, Where, and Why). Give your release a catchy headline. Be sure to include a logo image/masthead, then “News Release,” contact information, “For Immediate Release,” dateline, and all the other news-release elements, like “MORE” at the end of the first page, part of the headline…/Pg. 2 (or Add One–journalistic style) at the top of the second page, and # # # at the end of the release. Follow the style shown in the examples I’ve posted elsewhere on this page. If you are going to put them online; i.e., in an email, you would single-space the release. (You can indent to separate paragraphs) and watch that the length is about one full screen. Don’t include attachments, and if you have a picture, drop in a small version of it. A great headline works for either format!!

COM 254: Intercultural Communication:
Random Acts of Kindness Project – Starting the first week of the semester- Please chart your Random Acts of Kindness in Intercultural Communication:
Cross- Cultural Communication: Communication with someone who is different from you in age (intergenerational communication); socioeconomic level; ethnicity; gender and/or sexual orientation; disability; and/or country of origin.
You can fulfill this project by the use of FaceTime, Skype, social media, text messages, telephone, email and/or in person. Depending on where we are in the pandemic, this project does not have to be completed by in person contact.
You should (at a minimum of two times a week) record two random acts of kindness and the response of the person. The following are suggestions:
Reach out to someone who is culturally different from you– this could be a friend, co-worker or former co-worker – offer words of encouragement and support. Remember culturally different can include age, disability, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, social class, and/or country of origin.
Text your friends with a positive message.
Be generous on social media – offer words of encouragement, support, or compliments instead of criticizing.
Let someone go ahead of you in line at the store especially if they have just a few items and you have a grocery cart full. Small acts of kindness can go a long way.
Reach out to an older person (intergenerational communication) in your community – this can be done by telephone, FaceTime, or in person.
See someone new at work or school smile and say “hi” to welcome them so they will not feel like an outsider
Email a co-worker or former co-worker with a compliment (be sure it is a work-related compliment and appropriate for the workplace).
Remember peoples’ names and say “hello” when you see them again if you are out on a walk.
Send more snail mail (U.S. mail)– send a handwritten thank you note or letter to someone. It’s a welcome change from email.
Your paper should be a minimum of three (3) pages double-spaced typed. Organize your paper in an introduction, body, and conclusion. Your paper should be an analysis of this activity. Begin by explaining the concepts of Individualism and Collectivism (please review your class notes.
Because Individualistic Cultures (U.S. Dominant culture) stress independence and self-reliance as important values – how do you think that this affects the way the many U.S. citizens interact with others? And because Collectivistic Cultures stress interdependence and connection with others – how do you think this affects the way people from collectivistic cultures interact with others? Do you think that this public health crisis has brought a greater sense of community to us in the U.S.? If so, how? What did you learn about empathy? How can kindness affect our intercultural relations? How can we help people who are feeling isolated and lonely? How did the individuals respond to your acts of kindness? Do you think that Random Acts of Kindness can have a ripple effect in our society?
Also, chart/record your Random Acts of Kindness from the first day that you begin the activity. If you do not record these immediately at the beginning, you will not be able to remember all of these when you begin to write your paper. This project will replace the Service Learning Project (community based project) that is generally included in the COM 254 course = 80 points. Typed papbcier due date – see syllabus.

You are asked to research to create a reflective annotated bibliography (RAB) to inform yourself in-depth about an issue. The RAB must include five entries and a letter synthesizing your findings. Choose two scholarly sources and two non-scholarly sources (magazines or news articles, or government reports). The scholarly sources can be book chapter(s), an encyclopedia entry, and/or online journal article(s) found through the Baruch library website. In addition, your fifth entry must use primary research, so you’re expected to use a survey, interview, observation, or some other method of primary data collection. You’re also asked to accompany your entries with a letter synthesizing the main ideas and analyses of the sources. Please consult this student sample for what your assignment should look like. Your research topic must come from this list. Your argument in the next major assignment will be about the same topbciic you choose in this one.
This paper is a culmination of course learning thus far directly applied to the student’s life journey. Think of the paper as a life journey self check-in or self-analysis of life experiences and self-concept. The student is to use the course text, Interpersonal Communication: A mindful approach (chapters 1 through 6), course videos, and module learning/exercises from Week One through Week Four. The paper is to be a 5-to-8-page (cover page and reference pages not included) paper drawing from your knowledge about self, identity, and how those two are imbedded in their cultural context, as well as how nonverbal communication and mindfulness impact their daily lives. This paper should be typed, double spaced, in APA format, and in 12-point Times font. APA Help link APA Sample Paper This paper is due Week 5.
Using the text and content in modules 1-4, address how the following topics are present (or absent) in your life as well as how you could integrate mindfulness into your daily life. The areas of application to your life are self-concept, OCEAN model, self-compassion, cultural influences, nonverbal communication, and applying mindfulness practices. Provide examples from your own life that illustrate why the chosen theory (ies) is (are) the one that closely fits with how you view your self. You may also discuss how the theories do NOT fit your understanding of your self or even just how certain parts of each fit your self-analysis.
Essentially, this paper has 3 parts: 1) Analyze your past self (and life experiences) based on the self-concept ideas of congruency, temperament/personality, OCEAN, and attachment styles. 2) Come up with a theory of self for your self, give it a name and explanation using additional theories in the text, videos, and other worthy resources. 3) Future direction for your self-concept (talk about improving your feelings/thoughts about yourself. Address implementing self-compassion and mindfulness into your daily lives.)
First, think about where you have come from and what you have lived through, how has that shaped how you think about yourself? How have those experiences shaped your behaviors and choices? Assess those reflections with what the text addresses in Chapter 3 (Congruency, temperament/personality, OCEAN model of personality, and attachment styles.)
Next, conceptualize and discuss your thoughts on the theory of self, further applying additional theories (at least two) as discussed in your text and other creditable resources, that allow you to examine your theory more fully. This area is for you to make up your own theory of self by compiling what you have learned thus far. Please give your theory a name. I would name my theory “The Bad Ass Disco Diva in Heels” then I would use more ideas/theories about the self to explain this self-made title as well as using real life experiences to back up the ideas.
Finally, as a means of becoming more mindful of the self and attempting to see yourself “independent from social roles and rules”, select an idea on the self that you would like to strive for, as in for personal enrichment. However, if you are currently satisfied with who you are currently, it is okay to say so. However, please provide justification as to why you feel satisfied. If you would like to strive to be a touch different, explain why you feel this way as well as why the idea of self you chose for the future is an appropriate choice for you. Yes, I would like you to discuss personal values, goals, self-compassion, and mindfulness here.
NOTE: DO NOT be global, that is, do not use terms so general to be meaningless. Use terms that are specific and tie those terms and explanations to examples from your life that illustrate what you are writing. This should be an attempt to become more conscious of your own thoughts and behaviors. I am NOT expecting a thorough analysis of the text’s theories/concepts, only a snapshot as it may/may not relate to your self. Please try NOT to look at this as condemning. We each have winding paths and interesting life stories that shape and influence who we are. Cherish and applabciud yourself for still standing!!
