Would their proposal artefact grab your attention and move you to act?
For this discussion, I want you to utilize what you now know about AID(C)A and think about how we can translate that model into a rhetoric of problem solving. Suppose we have been presented with a problem in our workplace or school, we will use parking as an example, and we need help to solve this problem (one person isnt solving a parking issue on campus). How can we use Attention, Interest, Desire, Conviction, and Action to engage problems and find solutions and/or people to help us implement a solution? Since AIDA is already a model of persuasion (see this lessons video), the move toward a model for problem solving isnt a huge step, but we need to think about how we can utilize it.For your post, I want you to present a problem that you care about. It can be anything, though I would prefer it was not divisive (no religion or politics, please) and then breakdown the four(five) parts and what you would do in order to engage an audience in your choice of genre (remember rhetorical situations from Lesson 1?). Your post should be 200 words, adhere to APA standards, and provide a fair balance of words/attention applied to each portion of the AIDCA model.You should respond to a minimum of two student posts this week after completing your own. Can you think of ways to improve their use of AIDCA for their topic? Would their proposal artefact grab your attention and move you to act?
briefly summarize the key similarities and differences that best supported your case, then finish with a personal statement explaining your final opinion concerning what you discovered.
Your essay should aim to explore connections between historical developments in technology, historical social, and/or cultural and/or economic contexts and perspectives, aesthetic theory in relation to animated media, and the significance of historical examples of experimental animation techniques and technologies. In your introduction, establish a key question that you intend to explore and ultimately answer. Your introduction should identify a specific specialist role in the animation industry and clearly outline how that specialization has changed or evolved over a specific period of time. Seek balance in your argument by comparing the similarities and differences between the specialist role as it once was and how it later changed or was impacted, and by exploring how relevant historical contexts (social, and/or cultural and/or economic) influenced processes within animated productions, specialist roles and the visual language of animated films (e.g., as explored in many experimental animations). You should provide examples of your own experimental tests and specific historic references to explore and support your developing argument. In your conclusion, briefly summarize the key similarities and differences that best supported your case, then finish with a personal statement explaining your final opinion concerning what you discovered. Remember to explain how your examples helped answer your investigative question and refer to examples of your own work to comment on how what you have learnt has expanded your approach to research and in your animation practice. In preparation for writing your essay, you will need to: Research the impact of technology on the development of one or more specialist roles in the animation industry Research economic, social and (multi)cultural perspectives relating to the development of the animation industries Research a range of aesthetic theories, drawing connections between theories and techniques using historic examples and in your own animation works Explore a range of experimental animation techniques and technologies
explain the criticism of hedonism offered by the thought experiment
Write all of this up into a short paper: (i) explain DH; (ii) explain the experience machine thought experiment; (iii) explain the criticism of hedonism offered by the thought experiment; (iv) say whether you would plug in for life, and explain why or why not. The required word count range is above. Your paper should correctly distinguish between Nozicks imagined machine itself and the thought experiment, which is also called the experience machine. Be sure to use very plain language, and/or define any technical terms you use that a reader who has not read the text would not understand. Focus only on our reading and my podcast lecture. Do not use other sources. Why?Two reasons: (1) It will lead you astray; your paper will be worse because of it. (2) Studying philosophy is more about learning to think than it is about finding-and-repeating answers to questions. If you use the internet to find answers, you will skip the most important part of the course (and, as I say, in my experience, your answers will typically be worse or wrong).

THERE ARE TWO PARTS ONE REVISION ONE PAPER. HERE IS WHAT IS NEEDED FOR THE REVISIONOF UNIT 3: Thanks for redoing it but you still dont quite understand what each section is asking you to provide. Here is some feedback- This is not differentiation- ask students to read ..list mark shout out the word Differentiation is how you will adapt a lesson for students with different needs.
