We have seen how the movie Gandhi exhibit PREJUDICE and BIGOTRY. For the purpose of this Db, use these four definitions based on discussions I have casually borrowed from numerous websites:
Prejudice Definition: Prejudice refers to preconceived opinions or attitudes about an individual or group that are not based on reason or actual experience. These attitudes are typically negative and stem from stereotypes, and prejudices can be implicit (subconscious) or explicit (conscious).
Bigotry Definition: Bigotry is a persistently rigid intolerance and irrational hatred or refusal to accept people who are different. It often manifests in discriminatory actions and hostile behavior towards others.
Ideological Thinking Definition: Ideological thinking refers to a systematic set of beliefs or ideas that shape an individual’s understanding of the world and guide their political, social, or economic perspectives. It provides a framework for interpreting events and making decisions buts can be either rigid or open to adaptation.
Heuristic Definition: a heuristic is a tool or aid to learning, discovery, decision-making and/or problem-solving. Heuristic thinking uses rule-of-thumb strategies or mental shortcuts (often unconsciously) to quickly make otherwise complex decisions or judgments. Conscious heuristics often rely on trial-and-error methods that compare the present situation to representative mental prototypes of similar situations.
Section 1: Specifically Identify One Theme of Ideological Thinking in the Gandhi Film
In 50-100 words, explicitly and clearly specify one theme or specific scene of ideological thinking in the Gandhi film by referencing any aspect of the film including story or historical background.
Section 2: Link Authoritarianism and Stereotyping with Ideological and Heuristic Thinking

After briefly defining AUTHORITARIANISM and STEREOTYPING in your own words (see warning above about using non-course resources), use the definitions in this template to clearly link authoritarianism and stereotyping with ideological and heuristic thinking in no more than 200 words – You probably examine Section 3 below before providing your discussion here.
Section 3: Identify and Discuss One of Your Favorite Movies that Links all Four Concepts 1) Prejudice; 2) Bigotry; 3) Ideological Thinking; and 4) Heuristic
Title Movie (year of release):
Briefly (in no more than 200 words) discuss how you think your chosen movie links the four concepts. You do not have to mention the definitions because they are already given above – just discuss the linkages of what prompted your movie choice and why.

Topic: Public Employee Motivation
This exercise asks you to select a topic, do a literature search, and identify the approach taken by studies found in your search.
INSTRUCTIONS
Select a topic of social research of your interest in public administration and policy (e.g. public employee empowerment), nonprofit management (e.g. the size of nonprofit sector), or other area in social science. Remember that a topic of social research must have some social aspect, which means that it involves people, organizations, institutions, or governments.
Do a search by entering your chosen topic. The search will generate a lengthy list of articles. By clicking on the title of each listed article, you will go to another page that presents an abstract, which is a concise summary of the article.

This module explores additional sources of ideas for policy options beyond the failure frameworks and the system map.
The concept of “targeted transparency” refers to the use of information to address problems.
The concept of “nudging” recognizes that information is often not enough to make people adopt more beneficial behaviors. The field of behavioral economics has blossomed over the past few decades by identifying how the human brain takes short cuts to make decisions and the ways in which those shortcuts can be “nudged” to yield better decisions.
You will need to cover :
1. Summarize at least three key points from the required materials. Look for ideas that bridge across the assigned readings or videos.
– Please identify which reading(s) or video(s) you are discussing in each of your points.
– When you see a similar or related (or conflicting) point being made across two or more different readings or videos, be sure to point that out!
2. Articulate one question, puzzle, or point of confusion prompted by the assigned material. Required materials :
– Weil (et al) – targeted transparency

Find three environmental health warnings of the type discussed in the lectures/slides/chapters in your immediate environs — your home, your building, anywhere in your neighborhood.Note: These signs will look like the things for sale on this site: https://www.safetysign.com/safety-signs
Name the law or regulation that mandates such warnings, indicate if the law or regulation a local, state, or federal, and the date it was first mandated.Hint: A reference to the law or regulation is often printed in a small font somewhere on the sign, but not always.
Briefly explain the health problem the law or regulation is trying to prevent or mitigate.
NOTE: Some students are not currently in the United States, so regulations and signage may be very different. If you can find signs that present an environmental warning of the type discussed in the lectures/slides/chapters, that’s great. If you are having problems, you can also use warnings on any consumer product (for instance, something on a cleaning solution bottle you have at home or some other product, such as propane or paint thinner). Or, if need be, take a picture of a place where you think there should be a health hazard warning, but isn’t — and explain why it might be needed. We’re most interested in you engaging with the idea of these regulations than finding a specific kind of sign.

In this discussion, you will write in the voice of the author of one of the closed research theme readings. Alternatively, you may write in the voice of a major respondent, expert, or witness who is interviewed or quoted in a closed research theme reading, if you think theirs is a more relevant perspective on the closed research theme. You will be playing this “character” in the panel discussion, adopting their positions and/or responding the way you think they would respond to others in the discussion.
To begin, review the 6 closed research theme readings you have read so far; pick one author or one major respondent you will play in the panel discussion. You will be playing this “character” in the panel discussion for the whole board (initial posts and responses). You need to write in their voice and remain in character throughout the discussion.
Then start a new thread in this board and respond to the following prompt. Click the Post Reply button to submit your initial post:
Identify yourself as the author or respondent you have selected as well as the title of the reading and the person’s role in the reading.Example: “I’m Alex Tizon, author of ‘Lola’s Story.'”
Example: “I’m Lola, a major figure in Alex Tizon’s ‘Lola’s Story.'”
In the voice of your selected “character,” respond to one or more of the following questions. You can think of these as the questions you are being asked by the moderator or audience member:How would you answer the guiding question for this section’s closed research theme? (If needed, you can find your class’s closed research theme question in Modules)
What issue regarding the closed research theme do you see as most important or most overlooked? What do you want the panel audience or other panel members to see and understand?
What action, solution, or policy, related to the closed research theme, is closest to your heart? What do you want the panel audience, other panel members, and/or others in society to take action on?
Remember, think about what your “character” (author or major respondent) would believe, know, want, value, etc. This may not be what you personally know or believe, at all! Stick to their perspective and viewpoints as much as you can, based on what you know about their views from the closed research theme reading.
Your Module 4 initial post should be at least 150 original words.
