<ul type="disc"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once you are called upon to make your speech, <b>pause for a couple of moments before actually starting your delivery</b>. If you've had to walk up to a platform or over to a rostrum, this gives you time to steady your breath. If you are nervous as a speaker, it gives you time to take a few shallow breaths and calm those nerves. In any event, it gives the audience an opportunity to settle down and focus on you and your message. But the pause should be a few seconds only.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You should convey a sense of enthusiasm for the subject</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. This will effect your delivery and how your speech is received.</span><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Occasionally <b>alter the speed, volume and tone of your delivery</b>. Speaking slower or faster and quieter or louder and being more cheerful or more serious all adds dramatic effect and keeps the attention of your audience.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">Regularly <b>sweep your eyes</b> left-centre-right and back and front-middle-rear and back, so that you engage all members of your audience.<o:p></o:p></span></span></li>
<span style="color: black;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
</span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444;">It is good to <b>use your hands expressively</b> - but do not wave your arms around which will make you look manic</span>.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></li>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make a dramatic opening</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> which seizes the attention with the very first words. This might be a stirring statement: <i>"This year we are going to make a fundamental transformation of our whole organisation"</i>. It might be a challenging question: <i>"How can we turn ourselves into an even more successful society?"</i> Whatever you do, don't ask a question that invites a cynical answer from your audience: <i>"Are we the best country?"</i></span><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have a very clear structure</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. A good technique is to tell your audience what you are going to say, tell them, and then tell them what you have said. A good structure is for the core message to be three linked points which can be sub-divided as necessary.</span><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another possible structure which can work well, if it is appropriate is, to use a narrative or a story. Stories or case studies really engage listeners and give a speech direction and flow.</span></li>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use striking adjectives and adverbs - emotionalising</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. Not simply: <i>"We face many challenges"</i> but <i>"We face many exciting challenges"</i>. Not simply: <i>"We will work on this human rights issue"</i> but <i>"We need to work energetically on this issues"</i>.</span><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make moderate use of alliteration</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> in phrases or sentences. For example, some phrases: <i>"broadband Britain"</i>, <i>"the digital divide"</i>, <i>"silver surfers"</i>. For example, some sentences: <i>"The ballot is stronger than the bullet"</i> (Abraham Lincoln, 1856) or <i>"Now let us fulfil our mandate and our mission"</i> (Gordon Brown, Labour Party Conference 2002) or <i>"At our best when at our boldest"</i> (Tony Blair, Labour Party Conference 2002).</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></li>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
</span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Repetition can be very effective</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. Martin Luther King was the absolute master of judicious repetition. For example: in his Washington speech of 28 August 1963, he used the phrases <i>"I have a dream .."</i> and <i>"Let freedom ring ..."</i> again and again (seven times and eight times respectively). The same technique was used by Barack Obama in his speech following the 2008 New Hampshire primary when he repeatedly used the phrase <i>"Yes we can"</i>.</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></li>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One way of commanding attention is to <b>use attention-seeking, short sentences</b>. Tony Blair is very fond of <i>"I say this to you"</i> or <i>"Let me be clear"</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>KISS (Keep it simple, stupid)</b>. Don't try to impress with over-complicated terminology or words.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If <b> you are intending to use statistics</b> - and some well-chosen figures can add credibility and authority to your arguments - be sure that you understand them, that they are meaningful, and that they are both reliable and up-to-date. Be ready in the question and answer session, or if approached later, to be able to source your statistics and supply the full context. You should mention the source of your stats/information in your speech.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Make clever use of the pause</b>. If you expect laughter or applause or you would like to create a sense of drama, pause for a couple of seconds, before continuing your speech.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finish with a strong, affirmative statement</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, possibly referring back to the opening sentence or question (note how many film scripts end with a variation of a line from the beginning of the movie).</span><o:p></o:p></span></li>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The demand for Human Rights has not come from nowhere! Since a period of history called the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Enlightenment" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Enlightenment</span></a> (18th Century), individuals and countries in Western Nations and after 1948, the United Nations have been working at writing down in formal documents (and hopefully binding - but not always) what the rights of Humans are. That is not to say that other <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_79170207"><span style="color: blue;">societies through </span></a><a href="http://www.global-ethic-now.de/gen-eng/0c_weltethos-und-politik/0c-02-menschenrechte/0c-02-110-urspruenge.php" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">history have not had a go at discussing and documenting</span></a> the rights of their people but generally the three documents below are fundamental to the development of what we call Human Rights in 2012 around the world. This also does not mean all nations must or do follow these documents. As we all know many countries ignore the sentiments and expectations for Human Rights outlined in the documents. Only last week Australia's foreign Minister, Bob Carr met with the Indonesian Prime Minister to talk about the perceived abuse of Human Rights in Indonesia.</span></div>

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN" style="line-height: 18px;">On the night of 28 October 1908, the Women’s Freedom League (WFL) conducted a simultaneous protest at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_Westminster" title="Palace of Westminster"><span style="text-decoration: none;">British Houses of Parliament</span></a>. It was to occur outside St. Stephen's Entrance, the Old Prison Yard and in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Commons_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="House of Commons of the United Kingdom"><span style="text-decoration: none;">House of Commons</span></a>. The purpose of the protest was to raise attention to the struggle of women and remove the ‘Grille’, a piece of ironwork placed in the Ladies’ Gallery that obscured their view of parliamentary proceedings. Matters was at the heart of the protest. She and an associate, Helen Fox, both chained themselves to the Grille of the Ladies’ Gallery and Matters began loudly proclaiming the benefits of enfranchisement directly to the elected MPs.</span><span lang="EN" style="line-height: 17px;"></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was 1928, when a fifty-one year old Muriel Matters finally got what she and the countless other women of Great Britain were craving, suffrage on the same terms as it was granted to men (partial suffrage had been granted to women in 1918). In her later years, Matters often wrote Letters to the Editor, frequented the local library and was heavily involved in the community. Widowed in 1949, she died twenty years later on 17 November 1969 in St. Leonards on Sea nursing home aged ninety-two.</span></div>

international non-governmental organization founded by Australia Oliver
Percovich that works with youth from a range of ethnicities and socioeconomic
backgrounds to build trust and to provide empowerment through a combination of skateboarding
and educational activities. It was established in May 2007 with the opening of
the first Skateistan facility in Kabul, Afghanistan. It has since expanded,
with project sites in Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan, Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and Johannesburg,
South Africa.</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">he idea of
Skateistan began in 2007 when Percovich arrived in Kabul, Afghanistan, with
three skateboards and quickly met a group of local boys and girls eager to
learn how to skate. What began as informal skateboarding lessons at a local
empty fountain turned into something much bigger. Percovich perceived the lack
of opportunities for young Afghans, especially girls, and realized that skateboarding
was a way to engage them and build community. Skateistan took shape in the
following years, with the help of international donors and skateboard industry
partners. It was officially registered as an Afghan NGO in July 2009.</span></span></span><br />

29, 2009, the 1750m2 Skateistan park officially opened, giving boys and girls
in Kabul a secure environment and an indoor skatepark to come to every week.</span></span></span><br />

dialect or jargon of a group of people, either in a certain region or a group
with common interests. Idioms are usually specific to a culture (and sub-cultures)
and make it difficult for outsiders of a group to really know what is meant by
a saying (even if a person has a good grasp of the language). Idioms are a way
for a group to exclude non-members and may apply to a small group or a large cultural
group. Idioms are part of group identity and behaviour.</span></div>

<b></b><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As mentioned this week in class, one of the reasons for the interest and dominance of Reality TV on our screens at the moment is the fascination people have with how groups operate and how people act in groups. As an individual we play many roles in our life depending on what group/s we participate in at any one time. Many of us play quite different roles, depending on whether it is a family, social, work or recreational type of group. In groups we acquire informal roles of being a leader, others we may be the organiser, joker, information givers, disgruntled etc</span></div>

that involves examining concepts of right and wrong behaviour.
Generally it relates to dealing with values relating to human conduct,
with respect to the rightness and wrongness of certain actions and to
the goodness and badness of the motives and ends of such actions.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">More specifically </span><a href="http://www.scu.edu/ethics/practicing/decision/whatisethics.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ethics is two things</span></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div>
<i><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First,
ethics refers to well-founded standards of right and wrong that
prescribe what humans ought to do, usually in terms of rights,
obligations, benefits to society, fairness, or specific virtues. Ethics,
for example, refers to those standards that impose the reasonable
obligations to refrain from rape, stealing, murder, assault, slander,
and fraud. Ethical standards also include those that enjoin virtues of
honesty, compassion, and loyalty. And, ethical standards include
standards relating to rights, such as the right to life, the right to
freedom from injury, and the right to privacy. Such standards are
adequate standards of ethics because they are supported by consistent
and well-founded reasons. </span></i></div>
</div>
<div>
<i><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Secondly,
ethics refers to the study and development of one's ethical standards.
As mentioned above, feelings, laws, and social norms can deviate from
what is ethical. So it is necessary to constantly examine one's
standards to ensure that they are reasonable and well-founded. Ethics
also means, then, the continuous effort of studying our own moral
beliefs and our moral conduct, and striving to ensure that we, and the
institutions we help to shape, live up to standards that are reasonable
and solidly-based. </span></i></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As an example of an ethical cause I thought it was worth us considering is the <b>Kony 2012</b>
initiative. The cause is related to the campaign to gather support to
stop the human rights violations inflicted on the people, in particular
the children of Uganda by rebel leader Joseph Kony. The video called
Kony 2012 which is linked to on this blog is graphic and confronting in
parts and may upset some people. <a href="http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CDEQtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DY4MnpzG5Sqc&ei=PvWSUar8NquTiQe1h4HYAg&usg=AFQjCNHyYNt07Pq1SK1afq8_4ClqcjTLRw&sig2=va39pNVnz9_t1gE68NF2sg&bvm=bv.46471029,d.aGc" target="_blank">The Kony 2012 video.</a></span></div>

<strong>Types of groups</strong><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Primary and secondary groups</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A primary group is a group where individuals have significant emotional attachment and/or dependency i.e. a family. A secondary group is a group where there is little or no emotional attachment and the group fulfils a basically functional role for the individual i.e. a class at school. However this division can be vague because a dysfunctional family may be a secondary group in many ways and a class could be very important to an individual and take on a primary role. As with much of this group dynamics theory the classifications of roles, stages, types and behaviour are only generalisations and exceptions can always be seen, depending on the individuals involved, changes over time to the composition of the group and the overall context for the group.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Stages of a group</strong><br />
<br />
It is often said that groups are like a living thing, involving the stages of birth, youth, developing adult qualities, aged accomplishment and termination. To further this analogy, the stages of group development have been created for members to identify where their group is at and how it is developing. These stages are not compulsory for a group and often a stage is skipped or is reverted to. The progress of a group through the stages can be impacted upon by changes to the group, change of conditions, modifications to expectations, accelerating, stagnating or reversing the group. What is for sure, all groups have a birth and a termination, whether they rebel and or mature is up to context and situation.<br />
<br />
Here are the stages:<br />
<br />
<b>1. Forming and dependency</b><br />
<br />
Members first get together during this stage. Individually, they are considering questions like, “What am I here for?”, “Who else is here?” and “Who am I comfortable with?” It is important for members to get involved with each other, including introducing themselves to each other. Clear and strong leadership is required from the team leader during this stage to ensure the group members feel the clarity and comfort required to evolve to the next stage. This is often called the stage of dependency ... on the leader.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Storming and rebellion</b><br />
<br />
During this stage, members are beginning to voice their individual differences, join with others who share the same beliefs, and jockey for position in the group. The group should help members to voice their views, and to achieve consensus (or commonality of views) about their purpose and priorities. This stage is often called the stage of rebellion and is identified in a group by members of the group challenging the leader or the general behaviour in the group.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Norming</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In this stage, members are beginning to share a common commitment to the purpose of the group, including to its overall goals and how each of the goals can be achieved. The group should focus on continuing to clarify the roles and behaviour of each member, and a clear and workable structure and process for the group to achieve its goals. This is the stage of creating norms and ways of operating for the group.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Performing autonomy</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In this stage, the group is working effectively and efficiently toward achieving its goals. During this stage, the style of leadership is barely evident from an individual, as members take on stronger participation and involvement in the group process – shared leadership. This stage is often called the stage of autonomy and co-dependency where the members of the group are dependent on each other and do not require a leader to control them. The cooperative coherence of the group means that everyone gets along and contributes so that they do not let down the group. This is the productive stage of the group where the group fulfils its aims and goals. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. Termination – Celebration or sadness</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At this stage, the group finishes. Groups approach this stage in different ways. Sometimes termination is associated with celebration and partying. Other times this stage is associated with sadness and commiseration. Other times it just happens and people unemotionally walk away from the group. It depends on the situation, purpose and participants as to which one of the termination scenarios occurs. It really depends if the group is a primary or secondary group in nature.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Determinants of autonomy goal.</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whether a group moves through all the stages to autonomy depends on the group context. Some groups cannot reach autonomy because they rely on a leader as part of an organisation i.e. an army group. Other groups are designed to give power to the group members and make the leader redundant as quickly as possible i.e. a group arranging a formal.</span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*
The key to developing a good survey questionnaire is to keep it short
while ensuring that you capture all of the information that you need. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*
Before you begin to design your survey questionnaire, you developed a
set of focus questions for your research. Your survey questions should
relate in some way to your focus questions. These questions should
serve as a plan for the survey and a question should be rejected if it
cannot be seen as helping you answer one of the focus questions in some
way.</span><br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Types of Questions:</span></b></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are two different types of questions that can be used to collect information. The first is called a <i>fixed response </i>question and the second is called an <i>open question</i>. It is important to understand when and how to use these questions when designing your survey.</span><br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Fixed response</span></b></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These
are questions that offer the respondent a closed set of responses from
which to choose. Such a question makes data collection and analysis much
simpler and they take less time to answer. Fixed response questions are
best suited in the following situations: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• when you have a thorough understanding of the responses so that you can appropriately develop the answer choices </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• when you are not trying to capture new ideas or thoughts from the respondent.</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Examples of a fixed response question</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do you have a driver's license?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( ) Yes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( ) No</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How many hours a day do you spend doing homework?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( ) 0 to 1 hour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( ) 2 to 3 hours</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( ) 4 to 5 hours</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( ) more than 5 hours</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*
When writing the selection of responses for a fixed response question,
you should make certain that the list covers all possible alternatives
that the respondent might select AND that each of the answers is unique
(ie they do not overlap).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* For valid data collation it is suggested to use the "Don't know" and other option sparingly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*
You should try to ensure that your respondents are capable of answering
the majority of the questions on your survey questionnaire. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*
It is suggested that with some fixed choice questions it is better to
add a part (b) to the question requesting other choices they wish to
make or the opportunity to explain their response.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b>2. Scaling question</b></i> (also fixed response but different)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sometimes
you will be interested in obtaining a person's opinion on a topic,
subject, product, event, etc.... To capture varying degrees of
emotion/opinion about a subject, it is best to use a scale question. A
scaling question asks respondents to explain the degree with which they
feel about a certain topic, subject, event, etc... For example:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please describe how you felt about the Harmony day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(1)Unsatisfied (2)Somewhat (3)Satisfied (4)Satisfied (5)Extremely Satisfied</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*
In some cases you may wish to have a part b to the scaling question to
provide the opportunity for the surveyed to explain why they circled the
number they did. Few will take this opportunity but it is worth
putting it in your survey. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b>3. Ranking question </b></i>(also fixed response but diferent again)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A
ranking question asks respondents to explain how they feel about
something by comparing it to other items in a list. For example: </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please rank the following Harmony Day activities in order of preference (starting with 1 for your favourite activity).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">___ Music </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">___ Displays</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">___ Dancing activities</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">___ Food</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*
A ranking asks respondents to list their responses in order of
preference. This type of question leads you to an answer where the
respondent is comparing one thing to another rather than giving you
their feeling about each individual item as was the case with the
scaling question. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*
The disadvantage to a ranking is that if the respondent feels the same
about two or more items, they are still forced to sort them into a
ranking. The results of a ranking basically tell you which is the most
preferred and which is the least preferred item on the list, but you do
not know from a ranking if the respondent likes or dislikes any or all
of the items on the list. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*
It is often a good idea to have part b to a ranking question to provide
the respondent with the opportunity to state any other option/s they
would have liked to rank. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Do not have a “other”: category because it makes collation invalid. </span><br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Open-ended questions</span></b></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Open-ended
questions, are questions where there is no list of answer choices from
which to choose. Respondents are simply asked to write their response to
a question. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is an example:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Example of a open-ended Question </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What else would you like to see happen on Harmony Day? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*
It is best to use open-ended questions when you are exploring new ideas
and you don't really know what to expect from the respondents. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Open-ended questions let you get more insight into the respondents' thoughts and ideas about a subject. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* The disadvantages to using open-ended questions is that it can be much more time consuming and difficult to analyze the data. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* In general you should try to minimize the number of open-ended questions in your survey questionnaire. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*
If you find yourself designing a survey questionnaire where the
majority of the questions are open-ended, then you may need to do more
exploratory research to get a better foundation of knowledge for the
subject you are researching.</span><br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">General tips to creating a good survey questionnaire:</span></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are some tips and tricks to help you ensure you are developing a good survey questionnaire:</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Clearly state your intentions with the research.</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At
the top of your survey, write a brief statement explaining why you are
collecting the information and reassure each respondent that the
information is entirely anonymous. If you need to know specifics about a
person, respect their privacy by identifying them as subject1,
subject2, etc...</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Include instructions with your survey questionnaire</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What
may seem obvious to you probably is not very obvious to someone else.
To ensure that you collect valid survey results, make sure you include
instructions on how to answer the survey questionnaire. There should
probably be a short introductory set of instructions at the top of the
survey questionnaire, and additional instructions for specific questions
as needed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your overall instructions may be something like:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please
mark the appropriate box next to your answer choice with an "x" ( X ).
Please answer all of the questions to the best of your ability.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>* Don't ask for personal information unless you need it to help answer your focus questions</b>. </span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Keep the questions short and concise</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
wording for survey questions should be short and concise. Each question
should be clearly stated so that there is no misunderstanding about
what is being asked. The best way to ensure your questions are well
worded is to test them by having other people review and test your
survey before you distribute it to the full sample.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ask only one question at a time (the double barreled question)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This
is a very common mistake in survey questionnaires and one that will
severely impact the results of your data. When you are writing a
question, you must make sure that you are only asking one question at a
time. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Here is an example of a double-barreled question:</i> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How have teachers and students at your school responded</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">to Harmony Day?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( ) Satisfied</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( ) Unsatisfied</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It should have been: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How have teachers at your school responded to Harmony Day?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( ) Satisfied</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( ) Unsatisfied</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How have students at your school responded to Harmony Day? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( ) Satisfied</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( ) Unsatisfied</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Make sure the questions are unbiased</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When
developing your survey questionnaire, you want to make certain that you
are asking the questions in a neutral way, ie that you are not leading
them toward a particular answer. </span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Here is an example of a leading question:</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do you think that the new cafeteria lunch menu offers a better variety</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">of healthy foods than the old one?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( ) Yes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( ) No</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( ) No Opinion</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is a non-leading question</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How do you feel about the new cafeteria lunch menu compared to the old one?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( ) The new menu offers a better variety of healthy foods</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( ) The old menu offers a better variety of healthy foods</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( ) The selections are similar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( ) No opinion</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ask questions that can be answered by your subjects</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make sure that the questions you are asking are questions that people will be able to answer. </span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Order/group questions according to subject</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If
you have more than six questions in your questionnaire, then you should
make an effort to organize your questions so the respondents can answer
them as quickly as possible. A good way to organize the questions is to
group them together by subject. This way your respondents can focus
their thoughts and answer a series of questions around these thoughts.
Put the open questions (not part b open questions) at the end of the
survey.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Present the questions in a clean and organized layout </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A
clean layout will make it much simpler for people to respond to the
questions and for you to collect the data. Make sure that your method
for marking answers is well explained and that your answer boxes are
consistent throughout the questionnaire. </span><a href="http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas/Soc_survey_sample1.shtml"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Look at this example of a survey.</span></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Your sample</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make
sure that you get a sample of adequate number (at least 20) and one
that meets the sample requirements of your research i.e. your survey
sample may require a gender balance or gender focus, across ages or of a
particular age, across ethnic groups or just one group etc. These
sample requirements will depend on the focus of your research. Discuss
this sample issue with your teacher.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Test the survey questionnaire</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once
you have developed your survey questionnaire, you should conduct a
small test (5 -10 people) to make sure that respondents clearly
understand the questions you are asking and that you are capturing the
information that you need for your study.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Ranking question (20%)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A nominated number of choices (cannot have suggested others – make that part b)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Scaled question (20%)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some form of scale response from 0-10</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Open-ended response – an open question </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• As a question in itself (10%)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">•
As a follow up open question to either the forced choice, scale or
ranking question. The question could be asking for explanation of forced
choice, ranking or scale decision or other options that the interviewee
would have liked to have as a choice (20%)</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gathering and harvesting!</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Regardless
of the topic, you should be doing secondary research at this stage to
establish your knowledge and understanding of the topic you have chosen
to research. Once you have comprehensive secondary knowledge it is then
time to start deciding on the primary research you wish to conduct.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://hsc.csu.edu.au/design_technology/producing/develop/2662/primary.htm"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just a reminder about the two types of research</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* <i><b>Secondary research </b></i>is
based on the findings from other people's research. It involves the
gathering of the results of other's research from books, reports or the
Internet. Selections or summaries are made of the research allowing for
evidence to be gathered to support your conclusions.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Secondary research </i>may include:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*
statistical analysis where information is readily available from the
census studies, Australian Bureau of Statistics, local councils and
other government bodies, is analysed to give a notion of the need for a
particular target market for a project. This may be useful for
establishing if there is a genuine need for a project.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*
information research, including all forms of print, that is, texts,
magazines, journals, pamphlets. It also includes electronic sources.
These need to be checked for reliability and relevance. Anyone can
publish on the Internet. Print sources should not be too out of date.
Use your school and local librarians, they are trained to help you find
information.</span><br />
<br />
<b><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Primary research</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
is the research you generate by asking questions, conducting trials and
collating results. This research can take the form of quantitative
research ('countable' data collection) or qualitative
research(opinion/knowledge data gathering).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The most common way of collecting primary data is through surveys/questionnaires and interviews. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* A <b>survey </b>is
usually general and covers a wide range of issues. It is designed to
find information rather than to investigate specific questions about an
issue. We tend to use surveys when we don't know about something and we
want to identify the most important ideas, questions and issues.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* A <b>questionnaire</b>
usually focuses more on a particular topic or issue. We tend to use
these when we know something about the topic and we have some hunches
about what might be the most important issue or questions to
investigate.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* <b>Interviews</b>
can be face-to-face or over the telephone or Internet. It is crucial to
have a list of questions prepared. This helps prevent being side
tracked and ensuring the information you require is collected. These
questions may provide insight into the development of your project, as
you should endeavour to seek expert advice. After all designers often
work as part of a team when brainstorming ideas and solutions to
problems. Many have spent their lives building up knowledge in specific
areas. The yellow pages are an easy way to get in touch with such
experts.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When starting to work on your advocacy speech you must think:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">about what you want to say</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the angle you will take</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.speechtips.com/audience.html" target="_blank">what is the nature of your audience</a>.</span></li>

</ul>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once you are called upon to make your speech, <b>pause for a couple of moments before actually starting your delivery</b>.
If you've had to walk up to a platform or over to a rostrum, this gives
you time to steady your breath. If you are nervous as a speaker, it
gives you time to take a few shallow breaths and calm those nerves. In
any event, it gives the audience an opportunity to settle down and focus
on you and your message. But the pause should be a few seconds only.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You should convey a sense of enthusiasm for the subject</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. This will effect your delivery and how your speech is received.</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Occasionally <b>alter the speed, volume and tone of your delivery</b>.
Speaking slower or faster and quieter or louder and being more cheerful
or more serious all adds dramatic effect and keeps the attention of
your audience.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Regularly <b>sweep your eyes</b> left-centre-right and back and front-middle-rear and back, so that you engage all members of your audience.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is good to <b>use your hands expressively</b> - but do not wave your arms around which will make you look manic.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make a dramatic opening</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> which seizes the attention with the very first words. This might be a stirring statement: <i>"This year we are going to make a fundamental transformation of our whole organisation"</i>. It might be a challenging question: <i>"How can we turn ourselves into an even more successful society?"</i> Whatever you do, don't ask a question that invites a cynical answer from your audience: <i>"Are we the best country?"</i></span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have a very clear structure</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.
A good technique is to tell your audience what you are going to say,
tell them, and then tell them what you have said. A good structure is
for the core message to be three linked points which can be sub-divided
as necessary.</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another
possible structure which can work well, if it is appropriate is, to <b>use
a narrative or a story</b>. Stories or case studies really engage listeners
and give a speech direction and flow.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use striking adjectives and adverbs - emotionalising</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. Not simply: <i>"We face many challenges"</i> but <i>"We face many exciting challenges"</i>. Not simply: <i>"We will work on this human rights issue"</i> but <i>"We need to work energetically on this issues"</i>.</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make moderate use of alliteration</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> in phrases or sentences. For example, some phrases: <i>"broadband Britain"</i>, <i>"the digital divide"</i>, <i>"silver surfers"</i>. For example, some sentences: <i>"The ballot is stronger than the bullet"</i> (Abraham Lincoln, 1856) or <i>"Now let us fulfil our mandate and our mission"</i> (Gordon Brown, Labour Party Conference 2002) or <i>"At our best when at our boldest"</i> (Tony Blair, Labour Party Conference 2002).</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Repetition can be very effective</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.
Martin Luther King was the absolute master of judicious repetition. For
example: in his Washington speech of 28 August 1963, he used the
phrases <i>"I have a dream .."</i> and <i>"Let freedom ring ..."</i> again
and again (seven times and eight times respectively). The same
technique was used by Barack Obama in his speech following the 2008 New
Hampshire primary when he repeatedly used the phrase <i>"Yes we can"</i>.</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One way of commanding attention is to <b>use attention-seeking, short sentences</b>. Tony Blair was very fond of <i>"I say this to you"</i> or <i>"Let me be clear"</i>.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>KISS (Keep it simple, stupid)</b>. Don't try to impress with over-complicated terminology or words.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If <b> you are intending to use statistics</b> -
and some well-chosen figures can add credibility and authority to your
arguments - be sure that you understand them, that they are meaningful,
and that they are both reliable and up-to-date. Be ready in the question
and answer session, or if approached later, to be able to source your
statistics and supply the full context. You should mention the source of
your stats/information in your speech.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Make clever use of the pause</b>.
If you expect laughter or applause or you would like to create a sense
of drama, pause for a couple of seconds, before continuing your speech.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finish with a strong, affirmative statement</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">,
possibly referring back to the opening sentence or question (note how
many film scripts end with a variation of a line from the beginning of
the movie).</span></span></li>

that involves the deliberate infliction of pain as retribution for an
offence, or for the purpose of disciplining or reforming a wrongdoer, or
to deter attitudes or behaviour deemed unacceptable. The term usually
refers to methodically striking the offender with the open hand or with
an implement, whether in judicial, domestic, or educational settings.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Which way to go?</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>To
be an issue the topic needs to be contestable. That is, there must be
more than one reasonable view on the topic. As a student you are
expected to be objective and view it in an unbiased way as possible as
you analyse the issue. The technique we use when deconstructing an
issue is to try to brainstorm the reasons why we should agree or not
agree with the a statement related to a issue. For example, if we are
talking about citizenship in Australia, we may frame a statement such
as:</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>"Australian Citizenship should be compulsory for all permanent residents in Australia."</i></span></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /><b>Being <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MSDc_zQbZEOg9kiTwse5CNa7bzXw-crGuAXmI-lrZbo/edit#" target="_blank">objective</a></b></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The
task then is to look at the issue in detail (primary and secondary
research) and then develop reasons why one would agree with the
statement and the reasons one would not. To be objective you must look
at what other people would say in relation to tthe issue - not just what
you think. Whether you call it <i>Pro's and Con's</i> or <i>For's and Against's</i> this is an important process when deconstructing an issue. <a href="http://dlb.sa.edu.au/tscmoodle/mod/resource/view.php?id=35166" target="_blank">This worksheet may help you undertake this task.</a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /><b>Being <a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/subjective" target="_blank">subjective</a></b></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You
will see on the worksheet that after deconstructing the issue in terms
of pro's and con's you have the opportunity to give your opinion on the
issue. Now you can bring in your values and bias as a person, as to
what you would do if faced with such an issue. Not always the way to go
for a student of Society and Cultures but in this task I am asking to
do such a thinking process. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /><b>Projecting forward objectively</b></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You
are also asked to project forward and suggest what you think will
happen in the future in relation to the issue. This section should not
be what you want to happen but what you think will happen!</span></span><br />

<b>The Stage 2 Social Ethics topic raises the issue of what is an issue</b> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
study of social issues raises the question as to what actually is an
issue. It can be said that at the local, national or global level, an
issue involves considering the following: </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Dispute is the essence of any issue.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Issues often involve contending groups of people with conflicting opinions.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">•
The hardest part of any study is selecting an appropriate issue. Issues
selected for investigation must show clearly conflicting elements and
involve choices decided from a range of alternatives. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">•
The investigation of an issue must consider the roles and perceptions
of stakeholders (various groups in those places and other significant
groups elsewhere) that have a vested interest in the issue.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">An example of an issue is:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'Should the age of drinking alcohol be increased.'</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In
the Society and Cultures classes at both Stage 1 and 2 you are required
to develop and conduct an investigation of a social issue.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The
secondary research required for the Investigation must go beyond the
normal "Googling" process. A more comprehensive process is required
which involves the fantastic database research facilities we have at
Thebarton Senior College. If you don't know how to use them just ask
others and practice
using them. The codes are available on the bookmarks supplied – get one
from the library (I can't put them up on this public blog!). When you
have found a source article from the databases you must citate in
accordance with the Harvard system.
Don't leave the bibliography until the end, it should be collated as you
go along correctly citated. Go to citation facility on the library
link to create the correct citation of the source.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here are the links, all your research is just a <span style="font-style: italic;">few clicks away!</span></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As I mentioned on Wednesday, we have two guests coming in next week for us to explore their views on your issues, plus much more. They will be invaluable lessons for you to 'fine-tune' your topics for the Investigation - don't miss them!! </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now
that you have these topics and are into your Investigation I suggest you 'keep an eye out'
for articles in the media (print and visual) for stories involving issues
and associated values and ethics. Every page has an issue on it!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There are two reasons I ask this of you:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1.
You might get an article directly related to the issue you have chosen
for your Investigation. Such current news in your investigation will
really add to your discussion and evidence of your research skills. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. You may get a new idea of an issue that you may wish to do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3.
It will give you an idea of how to look at (or not to look at) an issue
and provide a possible framework to follow when discussing an issue. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I would also like to refer you again to the <a href="http://dlb.sa.edu.au/tscmoodle/mod/resource/view.php?id=35166" target="_blank">Issue Deconstruction process (file called Deconstruction task)</a>
I developed for you to analyse an issue. I suggest you visualise this
page every time you read about an issue. For your investigation I
suggest you complete this deconstruction page as soon as you can to aid
your research. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here is an article to get you thinking about an ethical issue: the right of parents to stop medical treatment based on faith. </span><a href="http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/judge-overrules-parents-to-save-life-of-young-south-australian-girl/story-e6frea83-1226381000568" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Go to this link for the full article</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">DOCTORS have made an urgent plea to the Supreme Court to help save the life of a Jehovah's Witness girl dying of leukaemia. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On
Friday, Justice Richard White ordered the girl, 4, receive treatment,
including a blood transfusion to which her parents had objected on
religious grounds.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Paediatric oncologist Dr Petra Ritchie said without treatment the girl "will die ... I would say in weeks".</span></i><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Much
of what we have been reading, watching, talking about and skills
developed during this class has been in preparation to conduct the
Investigation. This investigation is a sociological study investigation
something you are interested in. Unlike the Research Project it must
be a report on something to do with Society and Cultures. You do have
to do a journal for your investigation but that is not submitted to the
SACE Board for moderation. Your report is forwarded for moderation
though. The evaluation component of the investigation is integrated into
the conclusion of the report.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You
are required to produce a professional and quality report containing
appropriate primary reseach (interview and/or survey). Here is some
background from the SACE Course Outline about this assessement item
worth 30% of the course.</span></span><br />
