worshiper and God is an integral part of worship. “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.” (John 4:23-24) In this verse, Jesus himself says that God is looking people who will worship him by connecting with him spiritually. God is searching for people who are interested in a relationship,…

In his study questions were framed either of mortality or survival, as well as a scenario about pregnancy: either deciding against it or choosing to still go through with it if it involved certain risks. A significant difference between men and women was found in the pregnancy scenario, women were more likely to still favor a pregnancy as well as see it more positively than men did. McNeil et al. believed that showed how “people interpret mixed or ambiguous frames in a selective fashion that is…

normally receive information through a derivative source. Hegemonic meanings associated with news frames can be considered a strong frame. Articles can be used as texts to forge the important relationships between audience views of BOG meetings and create a normative model…

problem is simply solved instead. A limited frame is what inhibits policy makers from truly being able to address the core issues of many problems today, thus causing uncertainty, ineffective policies, and offense to many. Perhaps one of the most skewed framings is the one of immigration. In “The Framing of Immigration,” by George Lakoff and Sam Ferguson, the two maintain the warrant that all immigrants arrive with intentions of eventually becoming productive members of society. Utilizing strong…

Applying Bolman and Deals Framing Bolman and Deal (2013) defined the concept of a frame as “a coherent set of idea or beliefs forming a prism or lens that enable you to see and understand more clearly what goes on from day to day” (p.41). Stephen Covey, (2004) describes these lenses a form of “mental map” that is used by an individual for “perceiving, understanding, and interpreting” (p.31). In 2011, I worked with an organization to develop a new curriculum for the development of leadership…

Kendall describes many frames throughout his paper, and each one provides a different view of United States pop culture and mass media. One of my personal favorite frames that Kendall talks about is the Middle-class values framing. This type of framing focuses on the “values of this class and suggest that they hold the nation together” (Kendall 59). A show that features this type of frame would be Arrested Development. This show makes fun of the typical middle-class by showing how dysfunctional…

revolves around the ongoing issue of cyberbullying, and the serious effects it can have on America’s youth. The two different news clips are framed differently, one being episodic and the other thematic. A thematic frame on a news video makes the issue seem like a public problem, which would in turn mean people favoring government intervention. An episodic frame would pin the fault on the bully. These two frames are easily seen in the videos used for the study. The thematic framed video focuses…

These perspectives can be referred to as frames. Bolman and Deal (2008) noted that no one person uses a single frame for all time, but often people show the preference for a particular frame. Bolman and Deal (2008) used the term frame to refer to lenses that allow people to order their experience. They identified four frames through which people especially leaders view their organization and world in general, these are, political, structural, human resource, and symbolic. Given the importance…

Ferguson use the example of the Illegal Frame, where the word “illegal”, in their opinion, is being misused. The solution to the Illegal frame would work for this frame alone. When considering another frame, such as the security frame, the solution would no longer be of any use. The concept of using a…

Message Framing Another essential method of persuasion is message framing. Message framing refers to the way that information is displayed or provided that aims to either emphasize or deemphasize the risk factor of a choice and thus, how a person perceives the said risk (Menon et al., 2008, pp. 996- 998). The concept of message framing is relatively new to the psychological world and as a result, largely under-researched thus far. However, there are a few types of framing that have been formally…
