M6D1: Examining the Results of the Research

One of the critiques of research is its lack of practicableness to the real world. Please 1. clarify whether you agree with this critique or not and explain. In your opinion, how can the results section of a research article be enhanced to be practical and useful for the average consumer?

Now incorporating what youve learning during this module and from the reading, answer the follow questions:

2. Use the Excelsior Library to find a research article of your choice. List the full APA citation for the article.

Answer the following questions and justify your responses. Give examples from the article that helped you determine your response.

a)How did the researchers report their findings? (For example, charts, graphs, narrative, etc.)

b) Please explain one key take away from the results section.

c) Did the way the researchers reported their findings make it easier to understand?
d)Why or why not? How are the results that were reported related to the objectives of the study?
e) If you were the researcher conducting this study, how would you enhance the results section?

In a post of approximately 250 words, choose one of the following prompts to discuss:

1. The Shipman’s Tale, like the Miller’s Tale, is an example of a fabliau. The humor and narrative action of this tale is precipitated and sustained by transactions that occur between the characters of the Monk, the Merchant, and the Merchant’s Wife. Read lines 43 – 51, 170 – 192, and 269 – 294 closely. Interpret and analyze what happens in these lines and attempt to answer the following: How would you describe the nature of the transactions that take place in this tale? What goods or services are being exchanged? What does each character gain and/or lose? Of the three characters in this tale, who fares the best? Explain your logic. 

2. The Parson’s Prologue, the Parson’s tale (as described in the footnote), and Chaucer’s Retraction, taken together, can be read as a significant effort towards rectifying a wrong. Can you speculate as to why Chaucer “renounc[es]” several of his works and calls them “sins” for which he seeks “mercy”? Consider the fact that Chaucer’s retraction does not actually erase, destroy, or take any of his works out of circulation. What function does the retraction serve? What about the Parson’s Prologue and Tale?  Feel free to draw from any and all of your readings of the Canterbury Tales, and discuss whether or not you believe Chaucer’s retraction and apology is sincere.

Symbolic Interactionism & Masculinity

Define the theory of symbolic interactionism using at least two articles. Then, apply the theory to a case study from the readings attached on masculinity (i.e. choose one of the assigned articles and discuss how symbolic interactionism can be used to understand what is being discussed in the reading).

When discussing symbolic interactionism in related to your chosen reading, be sure to use the definitions of toxic masculinity and hegemonic masculinity (also from the readings) when defining the terms in your own analysis. Analyze how these terms function in the case study/reading you choose to write about. Are they at play? Why or why not? What are the implications and what can we do about the influence of toxic/hegemonic masculinity?

Make sure to use proper APA citation.
