sosc301 Interpersonal relations and gropu dynamics
My topic is Generation Z
My primary source is as follows
The generation I choose to write about is Generation Z, which were born between 1997 to 2012. I choose this generation because my daughter was born in 2010. Trying to understand her is like pulling teeth. They are the youngest, most ethically- diverse and largest generation in American history. Also when I get into the mist of my new career, this generation will look to me to mentor them. In healthcare nurses from generations before me aren’t welcoming. There is a saying “the old eating their young” this is true. Nurses from prior generations have many unfavorable opinions about the up and coming generations into healthcare. If we could understand each other better, the workplace wouldn’t be so divided. I want to great the cycle. I never want a student to feel like I do. To look up to someone relying on them, only to be cast out and belittled.
This source speaks to generation Z, how they thrive with technology. It goes into detail about their characteristics, personalities, and how they define living. This article will help me with this project because it will help me think from the perspective of Generation Z to think outside the box like them.

Portfolio Project Directions and Rubric
This Portfolio Project is worth 15% of your grade
Outcomes
Completing this Assessment will help you to meet the following:
Course Outcomes
•
Students evaluate their own behavior and how it affects others in the workplace.
Institutional Outcomes
• Community and Career – Participate in social, learning, and professional communities for personal and
career growth.
Deadline
Deliverable items for the Portfolio Project will be required at different points during the
course. Details for each submission are included below in the Deliverable Descriptions.
Directions
The contemporary world, specifically the workplace, is filled with a vibrant representation of
different sexes, genders, ethnicities, ages, races, and cultures. One’s ability to understand this
diversity and navigate them effectively is essential to career and life success. This presentation
project will provide you with an opportunity to investigate an ethnicity, sex, gender, ethnicity,
generation, race, or culture to better understand and think conceptually about how to work
effectively with individuals from various groups. Put plainly, multicultural awareness,
appreciation, and sensitivity are important components in today’s world.
For this assignment, you are to select a sex, gender, ethnicity, generation, race, or culture
and study it toward the final goal of proposing how this new awareness can lead to career
and life success. For instance, studying a different culture will help you better understand
and be able to serve or work with people from different cultures in your career. Or, such
investigation might lead you to form deeper, more meaningful relationships with people from
different cultures.
For this Portfolio Project, you will be completing a PowerPoint presentation on a cultural
group other than your own. To support completion of this assignment and provide effective
feedback along the way, the project has been broken down into the following steps:

Deliverable Descriptions
Week 2: Step #1 Submission of Abstract and Methods
•
Due by the end of Week 2 at 11:59 pm, ET.
This portion of your slideshow should provide a brief overview of the sex, gender, ethnicity,
generation, race, or culture you chose to study, along with a rationale for its selection. You are
to select a subject that is different from your own individual identification. You may acquire
primary source research from the following sources—posted CREDIBLE videos via social media
like YouTube, etc., interviews with people, primary source artifacts like movies, poems, songs,
novels, short stories, or other artifacts. You are only required to study one primary source for
the project. For this portion of the project, identify the primary source you studied, provide a
summary of the source, and provide a brief justification for its selection.
So, that your instructor can get a general sense of your project as well as your intended sources,
you are to submit the following:
1) A one-paragraph statement of the sex, gender, ethnicity, generation, race, or culture you
chose to study, along with a rationale/explanation for its selection.
2) An APA formatted citation of the primary source you will use along with a summary of
the source and your prediction of how it will assist you in the completion of your project.
Week 4: Step #2 Findings and Literature Review
•
Due by the end of Week 4 at 11:59 pm, ET.
For this portion of your slideshow, share your conclusions based on your analysis and
interpretation of the primary source you selected. This section should contain findings that
illustrate your sophisticated knowledge of the history, values, politics, communication styles,
economy, or beliefs and practices of your subject you acquired from your primary source. For
example, imagine interviewing someone from another country. In your examination of the
source, inquire about their country’s history, personal experiences with that history, things
that make their culture unique from own, etc.
For this portion of your slideshow, you are to locate two secondary sources from the College’s
Virtual Library or similar resource. You should provide a summary of the major findings from
these two secondary/external sources. A secondary source would involve someone else’s
study of a similar subject and/or primary source.
So, that your instructor can provide feedback on your findings and literature review, you are to
submit the following:
SOSC301 – Portfolio Project
3
1) Submit a one to two paragraph description of your preliminary findings from the
primary source based on your analysis and interpretation.
2) Submit a list of your two secondary/external sources in APA format, along with a
summary of each source.
Week 5: Step # 3 Present Synthesis of Research that Increases Multicultural Awareness
•
Due by the end of Week 5 at 11:59 pm, ET.
For this portion of your slideshow, express how your primary source research compares to the
research findings from your two secondary sources. Discuss how your findings along with
those from your two secondary sources builds upon your own prior learning. Also, reflect on
how the study of this primary source will influence your perspective of the sex, gender,
ethnicity, generation, race, and culture you chose to study in the future. For this portion of your
slideshow, express how the overall work you completed on this project will lead to future career
& life success. Specifically, be sure to analyze how adjustments in your own attitudes and beliefs
regarding the sex, gender, ethnicity, generation, race, or culture selected for study demonstrates
your willingness to engage with diversity, along with an ability to assess the impact of
assumptions, judgments, and/or biases in how others treat your subject.
So, that you can address the synthesis of your research and the career as well as life application
of your project, you are to submit the following:
1) Create a PowerPoint slide in which you outline how your findings from your primary
source examination supports the findings in your two secondary sources.
2) Create a PowerPoint slide in which you reflect on how your findings will influence
your future career and/or life success in relationship to the subject you chose to study.
For instance, some questions you may want to address include:
a. How will your research within this project equip you with the sensitivities and
awareness needed for collaborating with the group you selected in the
workplace? In what ways?
b. How will your research influence your choices and impact your life decisions
with respect to your life and your own professional growth?
Week 7: Final Submission to ePortfolio
• Due by the end of Week 7 at 11:59 pm, ET.
This week is the final submission of your Institutional Outcome Assessment. Incorporate
instructor feedback, make any additional corrections, and submit to your ePortfolio.
The following pieces should be included in your final PowerPoint:
