Option 1: What did you See, Hear, and Feel as you watch the
film? What responsibility do corporations have to provide consumers
with the risks associated with their products? What are their responsibilities
for testing products? Is there a difference between what is legally required,
and what is ethically required? How can developing diversity consciousness
positively impact the situation(s) you have identified and reduce/ eliminate
the costs of inadequate diversity consciousness?
—
Option 2: What you See, Hear, and Feel as you watch the
film? “Free agency” of corporate CEOs – individuals such as scholar
Noam Chomsky remind us that we must differentiate between the institution
and the individual. Is there a problem when a “nice” person is involved in a
company that engages in some unethical practices? What responsibilities do
people have to call attention to or try to stop global and local workplace
practices that they view as unethical. How can developing diversity
consciousness positively impact the situation(s) you have identified and
reduce/ eliminate the costs of inadequate diversity consciousness?
—
Option 3: What did you See, Hear, and Feel as you watch the
film? Filmmaker Michael Moore felt that corporations and their CEOs
are “out of touch” with what the majority want, because the majority of
citizens are women and the working poor. Does it matter whether or not
CEOs know who the “majority” are and what they want? Include a
discussion of global dynamics associated with this “not knowing” and
perhaps not wanting to know? How can developing diversity consciousness
positively impact the situation(s) you have identified and reduce/ eliminate
the costs of inadequate diversity consciousness?

For this assignment, you are to create an infographic about ability OR aging in sports and record yourself presenting it.
You will have to do a little research for this assignment!
You will submit two components for this assignment:
Part 1: Create and submit your infographic
Part 2: Record yourself resenting your infographic and submit your recording.
Objectives
Develop a nuanced understanding of the relationship between aging and sports.
Critically engage with various course concepts related to ability and aging.
Understand how sports intersect with other social categories, identities, or inequalities.
Flex a creative muscle.
Practice presentation skills.
Part 1: What’s an Infographic?
Infographics are documents that blend information, analysis, persuasive writing, and a creative, engaging graphic. (See some examples below.)
Find a Sport
Consider a sport individuals or athletes play as they age. AND/OR
Consider a sport individuals or athletes play with disabilities or as abilities change.
The following questions should guide and inform your infographic sport:
Who plays the sport as older adults?
Who plays the sports a disabled or differently abled person?
Are there specific demographics characteristics among those who play? Do these changes as their abilities change (perhaps with age)?
What are the financial costs for this sport? To participate? To organize? How is it paid for?
What do participants learn or get out of their participation?
What are the positive and negative outcomes for participation in this sport (i.e., behavioral changes, injuries, work, school)? For younger participations, what are some outcomes as adults (i.e., Shown to do better at work? Graduate high school or college at better or worse rates, no outcomes at all)?
Mini-Research
Provide at least three (3) references. One should be a research article. One can be our book. One can be a sport organization or website.

Overview
Reflexivity is reflection for the purpose of personal growth and for developing a deeper understanding. Sometimes this understanding is of ourselves; sometimes it helps us to understand others. When we develop a better understanding of others and what they experience, we can grow, even if only in small ways. These reflections are a tool to promote that growth.
Instructions
There are two Reflective Activities in this course: One in Week 1 and the other in Week 11.
The reflections are intended to reflect your experiences and opinions, so there are no right or wrong answers.
Read the weekly content before responding.
Requirements
In a response of at least 250 words, record your thoughts on these questions:
What do you hope to gain in terms of Social Intelligence in this course?
What in your personal experience may have influenced your thinking about the issues we will cover (you can look over the course guide to see all of the topics)? Consider social/cultural norms, religious beliefs, environment, and background.
