Interpersonal communication event ICEA analysis
Interpersonal communication event ICEA analysis
The Interpersonal communication event analysis (ICEA Analysis) should include the following:
1. A summary description of the event, i.e., what, when, how the event happened, who was involved, and other pertinent descriptive information (e.g., where it appeared or occurred).
Explain the communication activity. Clearly describe if this was a mediated event or if it was observed in real-life.
2. Explain and provide a description of an interpersonal theory, method, model, or concept from the weekly readings that will be used to analyze the communication event, as well as a rationale (explanation) for using the theory.
In this section explain the theory, concept, method, or model you will use in the analysis. Tell the reader everything they need to know about the concept, theory, method, or model. Be very descriptive.
3. Application of the theory to the event, in other words, analysis of the event using the theory or theories. A good theoretical analysis of a communication event should provide insights into that event that description alone cannot.
Clearly analyze what type of communication concepts were observed and which theory you found relevant. Explain the interpersonal situation using course concepts.
4. Evaluation of the theory’s or theories’ usefulness in understanding the communication event. Discuss the theory, concept, model or method and its usefulness in explaining what happened in the event. Provide your academic opinion of the effectiveness of the concept, method, model, or theory selected when considering the interpersonal communicative event observed for this exercise.
5. The discussion should introduce communication concepts from a theory appropriate for analyzing the event and then apply those concepts. For example, a communication incident might be meaningfully understood via small group theories and concepts (groupthink, coalitions), interpersonal theories and concepts (compliance-gaining, self-disclosure), organizational theories and concepts (culture, climate), and so on. This analysis should be specific (rather than generic), thus demonstrating your ability to interpret communication activity in terms of pertinent interpersonal communication theories and concepts
Domestic extremist terrorist groups to analyze
Domestic extremist terrorist groups to analyze
Pick 2 domestic extremist or terrorist groups to analyze (one left wing, one right wing). See below for more information on the 8 categories of domestic extremists’ threat groups to choose from. Include the two chosen domestic extremist or terrorist groups in your title or subtitle. The title of your paper should be brief but should adequately inform the reader of your general topic and the specific focus of your research. Keywords relating to parameters, population, and other specifics are useful.
Develop a purpose statement for your research paper. The purpose statement orients the reader to the central intent of the study and from it all other aspects of the research project follow. The purpose statement should be a concise paragraph that describes the intent of the final research paper, specifically address the reason(s) for conducting the study and reflects the research questions. Begin the purpose statement with a succinct sentence that indicates the study method and overarching goal. “The purpose of this study is to… (describe the study goal that directly reflects and encompasses the research questions).
Write a draft outline. Explain the sections you plan to use in you research paper.
Include a reference list of at least six scholarly sources. Ensure you use only scholarly sources from the required readings as well as conducting your own outside research. See this APUS Library discussion on How do I find peer reviewed or scholarly articles?
Details on the research paper assignment (due at the end of week 6):
Select two domestic extremist or terrorist organizations within the United States and complete an in-depth profile of both groups. One group must be right wing, and the other left wing. Write a graduate level research paper that provides a description of each organization including their ideology, goals & objectives, political actions, propaganda techniques, and specifics of their violent actions. Also address their recruitment and radicalization process. Then compare and contrast your two selected groups within your research paper. Finally, you are to discuss counter violent extremism approaches that you asses would be effective if employed against both groups.
For this research paper we are looking at extremists inspired by domestic causes within the U.S. from both the left wing and right wing. The FBI generally describes domestic extremist causes or ideology by listing the following threat categories:
Right Wing:
Abortion Extremists (such as the Christian Identity Movement)
Militia Extremists
Sovereign Citizen Extremists
White Supremacy Extremists
Left Wing:
Animal Rights Extremists
Anarchist Extremists and Anti-Fascists (Antifa)
Black Nationalist Extremists
Environmental Extremists
Technical Requirements
Your paper must be at a minimum of 2-3 pages (the Title and Reference pages do not count towards the minimum limit).

Type in Times New Roman, 12 point and double space.
Students will follow the current APA Style as the sole citation and reference style used in written work submitted as part of coursework.
