the character arc

The central character(the protagonist) performs an emotional arc in any one film. IT is visually often seen as an arc from beginning to middle to end. Another way of describing the arc is events in a three act play. The character has dilemmas and conflict. The plot unfolds according to character motivation. The plot of the story is structured into a beginning, a middle and and end. The end resolves the early characters's foibles, strengths or doubts, usually with an emotional shift. ( a resolution)

Premise thinking People like to move to rhythm. It has been proven that mammals like to move to rhythm. If they do this a lot and the pattern catches on, significant changes in music rhythms then become described as influences upon social behaviours and dance styles.

A Premiss for such a topic might be:

Dance is an embodied experience. We only hear about new dance moves if we hear them, see them, feel them. Media broadcasts may share popular dance steps and have impact on popularity. However, lessons alone need to lead to the "real thing". Any age, any culture gets involved with what they catch on to if the presentation of the dances catches hold. People may then have something to share about the feel, the style and the joy of dance.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">dissemination

noun the act of spreading something, especially information, widely; circulation.

"dissemination of public information"
 * synonyms: || spreading, [|circulation], [|distribution] , [|dispersal] , [|diffusion] ; <span class="lr_dct_more_btn" style="color: #1122cc;">More ||

Dissemination takes on the theory of the traditional view of [|communication], which involves a sender and receiver. The traditional communication view point is broken down into a sender sending information, and receiver collecting the information processing it and sending information back, like a [|telephone line].

With dissemination, only half of this communication model theory is applied. The information is sent out and received, but no reply is given. The message carrier sends out information, not to one individual, but many in a broadcasting system. An example of this transmission of information is in fields of [|advertising], public announcements and speeches. Another way to look at dissemination is that of which it derives from the [|Latin] roots, the scattering of seeds. These seeds are metaphors for voice or words: to spread voice, words, and opinion to an audience.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 18.18181800842285px;">Stereotypes

Certain circumstances can affect the way an individual stereotypes. For instance: Studies have shown that women stereotype more negatively than men, and that women read into appearance more than men. Some theorists argue in favor of the conceptual connection and that one's own subjective thought about someone is sufficient information to make assumptions about that individual. Other theorists argue that at minimum there must be a casual connection between mental states and behavior to make assumptions or stereotypes. Thus results and opinions may vary according to circumstance and theory. An example of a common, incorrect assumption is that of assuming certain internal characteristics based on external appearance. The explanation for one's actions is his or her internal state (goals, feeling, personality, traits, motives, values, and impulses), not his or her appearance. <span style="color: #4800ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 15.454545021057129px;">Sociologist Charles E. Hurst, "One reason for stereotypes is the lack of personal, concrete familiarity that individuals have with persons in other racial or ethnic groups. Lack of familiarity encourages the lumping together of unknown individuals". [|[6]] (ref > wikipedia)
