ENG 1102 LAVC Chris Hughes Speech Rhetorical analysis

Question

Overview

Before you start working on your own research argument essay, you will spend some time studying the arguments of others, to better understand how they successfully structured and presented a persuasive project. The rhetorical analysis is a foundational assignment to introduce you to the “rhetorical situation,” as a concept. The goal is for you to take what you learn about successful argument, and apply it to your own writing in this course.
For this rhetorical analysis assignment, you will analyze a speech (see the options below) to gain a better understanding of “the rhetorical situation”- the audience, purpose, medium, and context–within which the speech was created. In addition to dissecting the speech’s rhetorical situation, you will also identify and discuss the author’s choice of rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, logos) or evidence. *This is the one and only assignment that is not driven by your personal topic selection, as all the following assignments build on each other starting with the Annotated Bibliography and concluding with the Research Story.

Expectations

As a foundational assignment, the rhetorical analysis will help you to:
Identify and analyze the rhetorical elements of a piece of communication
Assess the effectiveness of a speaker’s choices, in relation to the rhetorical situation
Build a foundation for future argument writing based on the skills and strategies identified and analyzed in this assignment

Question

Gene Cooper is a 56-year-old accountant who is being evaluated at the cardiology clinic for angina. He is 6 feet tall and weighs 260 lb, with a waist measurement of 40 inches. He has a history of hypertension, for which he has been prescribed a thiazide diuretic. He admits that he has not been taking the medication lately. His blood pressure upon this visit is 156/94 mm Hg. He smokes one pack per day. His LDL cholesterol level is 187 mg/dL. He has no history of diabetes, and his fasting glucose level is within normal limits. He states that he “works out at the gym” 3 days per week. He admits to episodes of midsternal chest pain accompanied by dyspnea and diaphoresis and associated with activity that is usually relieved with rest. He states that these episodes have been increasing in frequency, occurring once or twice weekly.

  1. Answer the following:
    • The nurse is teaching Mr. Cooper about the nonpharmacologic management of his angina. What measures can he take to reduce his risk?
    • Mr. Cooper is given a prescription for sublingual nitroglycerin tablets to use as needed for chest pain and isosorbide mononitrate to take daily. He asks why he needs two prescriptions. How should the nurse respond?
    • Mr. Cooper continues to experience episodes of angina despite treatment with the nitrate. He is given a prescription for ranolazine. He asks whether he can stop taking the nitrate now. How should the nurse answer this question?

Question

Operant extinction procedures are frequently used effectively in ABA treatment plans. However, as you observed in the interactive media presentation you completed, they can also be incorrectly implemented. This improper implementation can result in unknowingly reinforcing the very behavior we want to decrease. As a future ABA professional, it is important for you to learn how to correctly identify maintaining antecedents and consequences that reinforce unwanted behavior, and to correctly apply extinction techniques that effectively reduce the target behavior.

In order to successfully complete this assignment, you will first identify a behavior frequently exhibited by yourself or by someone close to you, to which you would like to apply an extinction procedure.

Define the behavior operationally.

Describe the antecedent to the behavior.

  • Describe the consequences of the behavior.
  • Describe positive and negative reinforcement contingencies that occur as a result of engaging in the behavior. (Hint: Think about what is maintaining your identified behavior and what you will be withholding when you implement the extinction procedure.)
  • Identify procedures that can end up reinforcing the unwanted target behavior, and explain the potential results of improperly implementing these procedures that were meant to help extinguish the unwanted target behavior.
  • Identify the extinction techniques that you feel will most effectively reduce the target behavior, and explain why you feel these will be most effective. (Hint: Think back to your identified positive and negative reinforcements to help you identify what you should be withholding to change the behavior through an extinction procedure.)

Lab 2 : Regression | Automotive MPG excel

QUESTION – QUESTION

This exercise is based on your assigned MindTap homework: Chapter 7 Assignment, Question# 4, Problem 07-15 Part (e) and (f). Since you need to launch Excel to work the problem, this lab’s effort leverages work that you are already doing. It will validate your Excel competency with basic spreadsheet design and use of regression tools.

1. Launch the worksheet associated with the problem in MindTap and work down to part (e).

2. Use Excel functions with appropriate row & col addressing modes ($) to translate the non-numeric categorical variables to the 3 auxiliary variables with 1’s and 0’s in new table, where the columns are arranged correctly to address the question. (DO NOT hand translate the data into the 900 cells!)

3. Run the regression tool on the worksheet that you will be turning in and specify the output location on the same worksheet. DO NOT run it on another worksheet or workbook and copy it into your submission file. (No credit given if it cannot be verified that the regression tool was launched on the data in the reorganized table.)

4. Organize both the table (input) and the regression report (output) so they are presentable. Remember best practices covered in the prior lab (Refer to its instructions), the assigned reading, and the lectures.

5. Use YELLOW to highlight all the cells of the regression report that you referenced to answer parts (e) and (f) of the MindTap exercise.

Hi David.

Nice to meet you.

I like your post.

Have  a good semester.

I posted the same thing.

Your replies must be written in proper sentence for with emojis, emoticons, or text abbreviations (e.g. LOL)

  1. Your reply must relate to what they posted, not only what you posted.

QUESTION

Operant conditioning is the art of behavior alteration through consequence. The addition or lack of consequence in operant conditioning are used to modify behavior. If you would like to see behavior repeat, a reward is given; if you rather not see the behavior repeat, then a punishment is given, too. – **Rewards (Reinforcement):** There are positive and negative consequences within rewards. If you positive reinforce you will add something pleasant to increase the behavior; negative reinforce is to take away something that is unpleasant to increase the behavior. – **Punishments:** There are positive and negative consequences to punishment as well. Positive punish you to give something unpleasant to decrease a behavior; negative punish is the process in which you remove something pleasurable to decrease the behavior.

Classical conditioning or Pavlovian conditioning involves learning to associate stimuli. This learning process involves a neutral stimulus being paired with the unconditioned stimulus which produces the unconditioned response. Then the neutral stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus, which produces the conditioned response. This conditioning is unconscious and creates physical responses and behaviors and many emotional reactions.There are three important parts to the classical conditioning process that we should never forget: the unconditioned stimulus (UCS), the unconditioned response (UCR), and the conditioned stimulus (CS). To have a good understanding of classical conditioning provides the key to manipulating stimuli causing behavior to be influenced. Classical conditioning can bevery helpful in behavior modification and even in therapy situations.
