This one page typed paper will be DUE Friday, May 6, 2016. Be sure that it is a full page of text with no grammar or spelling issues, and be sure that you do not take up 25% of the page with your name and class information. If it isnt a full page of Times New Roman, double spaced 12-point black text, it wont be counted for full points. I want to feel that you have analyzed the issue, and have attempted to see it from both sides before choosing a side.

There is an ethical issue surrounding the phenomenon of Digital Necromancy, or the resurrection of dead celebrities in television commercials, films, and live performances. Once a celebrity dies, their commercial viability is still in effect. Usually, their likeness rights revert to their family.

The question:

Would you want someone, say your weird cousin Lou, making decisions about how your likeness is used after you die? If you were a vegetarian, would it be appropriate to digitize you into Foster Farms chicken advertisements? John Wayne, American cowboy film star, died of lung cancer from smoking four packs of cigarettes a day and liver issues stemming from drinking. He was recently featured in a Budweiser commercial. Bruce Lee, Chinese film star and martial arts virtuoso had a personal philosophy about health that included not drinking or doing drugs. Johnnie Walker, a maker of fine scotch whiskey, just featured him in a lengthy and digitally groundbreaking commercial. Although these commercials are beautifully done, is it proper to include a performer to sell products that is no longer alive, or is the art of resurrecting a walking, talking icon too wondrous to ignore? Im sure Bruce Lee fans (like me) were very excited to see him again in any form, and possibly didnt take offense to the message being presented. Still, if you cant get an authorization from a dead celebrity, should they just be leftdead?

Whats your take on the issue?

Please use examples, you are allowed to search the Internet for them if you wish.

London 04/09/2004 (international Hijab Solidarity day . This is what I wrote ondon 04/09/2004 (international Hijab Solidarity day)
The museum was very welcoming and inviting. It was neat and clean and provided a relaxing atmosphere where you could enjoy and learn about different types of art. The harm museum is very educational, and I enjoyed my visit.
It was about politics in Iran and the first election that Iran held

You will write a paper on an exhibition from a Museum that you visit specifically for this paper (examples are the Harn Museum at UF (http://harn.ufl.edu/), the Appleton in Ocala, the Cummer in Jacksonville, the Orlando Museum in Orlando, and the Ringling in Sarasota), or to the Downtown Art Festival held on the weekend of November 14 and 15 (http://www.gainesvilledowntownartfest.org/).
In this paper, I anticipate several types of information to be covered. You may think of this as your beginning outline.
1. Id like for you to walk through all the exhibits in the museum, or through the entire Art Festival. In your paper, tell me your overall impression of the museum or festival and what you sense from the exhibits/booths you view.
2. From your walk-through, select one exhibit/artists booth to study in more depth.
3. You should, after introducing you subject, gave an overview of the exhibition/booth, what is the context or theme of the exhibit/booth, then go into more detail –how many works, what type of works, the quality and helpfulness of interpretative materials or artists explanation, if any.
4. Then pick a work that you think is representative of or key to the exhibition or typical of the artists style, then discuss it. An illustration of that work would be helpful. Please attach at the back of your paper.
5. Conclude the paper with your thoughts on how successful the exhibition/artist is in presenting its material. What did you learn from this visit?
6. If you visit a museum, include a brochure from the museum. Staple to the paper.

There may be research involved in this paper, particularly in reference to the specific artists and works discussed, but I would like for this to be written in your voice. The paper should be from 2 to 3 pages in length. Be sure to make reference of any sources used, including text panels in the museum.
The paper should be at least 2 pages and no longer than 3 pages in length (550 800 words.) Use either Arial or Times New Roman, 12 point, 1 space, 1 margins.
Spelling, grammar, punctuation and style will affect your grade, since papers are assigned to give you experience in visiting a museum, learning about a specific piece in detail, and communicating what you have learned in a clear and concise manner. You may use any one style of writing but be consistent throughout. It is absolutely essential that you proofread your work.

Example answer:This week I will be taking the role of a behaviorist. Behaviorism focuses on overt or visible behavior meaning being able to witness a behavior being played out. Behaviorist John B. Watson believed that “rather than studying subjective feelings such as hunger, we should study visible behavior such as eating” (Lieberman, 2012, pg. 21). Behaviorists also argued that instead of speculating about what a person might be thinking, it would work best to present rewards, for example, then observe the effects it produces. It does not take into account thoughts or feelings the way that Cognitivism does, behaviorism focuses on outward manifestation instead.A pro of behaviorism is that it can be observed therefore making it easy to measure with the naked eye. We are able to dissect if a difference exists from when the subject began to where they find themselves now. Another pro is that it is easy to implement and examine. It does not go into major depths of their thinking process or how their brain systems functions when responding to stimuli the way cognitivism does.A con is that people can change their behaviors unexpectedly. They could make it seem like they have changed their behavior but in reality may only be doing so in order to receive the reward at the end, and may not be logically understanding why they should do the things they are doing. A second con is that it doesn’t require a lot of thinking in order to achieve wanted results. Once the subject notices the pattern form after several trials they will just repeat the same steps, like a routine.A personal experience for me was when I was little and would misbehave or do something I knew I wasn’t supposed to, my mom would just open her eyes really wide and give me “the look”, and I knew what it meant. For me, getting “the look” was worse than getting scolded in front of other people, the way many parents do in attempt to “discipline” their kids. It took little to no effort for me to quickly grasp and associate that look with the desired behavior. I classify this as operant conditioning, which is one of the two types of conditioning in behaviorism; I classify it as OC because I have learned how to act differently based on the natural consequences of my previous actions.Another experience is in first grade when the teacher wanted the class to be ready for the next lesson, she would wait for the class to be quiet and we all folded our hands in front of us. She would reward those who got ready first and had the cleanest area around them with two pieces of candy. This I classify as classical conditioning because she used positive reinforcement to get the desired behavior out of her students.Yes, I agree with the behaviorists view that learning can be described simply in terms of stimulus-response because I have witnessed how someone’s behavior causes consequences whether positive or negative. Not every stimulus-response scenario occurs in a lab. These scenarios are presented to us on a daily basis and we don’t even realize it.I also agree with the behaviorist view that learning only occurs if there is an outward manifestation because otherwise how can we prove that learning has taken place? If you are teaching a group of kids how to read, in order to verify that they have learned, you need to hear them read. You cannot imagine that they are silently reading to themselves.The potential advantages of defining learning as a change in behavior when considering my own career (or future career) and/or in my relationships is that it will help guide me when it comes to what works and what doesn’t. I will be able to deter from making jokes my husband doesn’t like and will upset him, for example, and therefore be able to avoid a negative experience.Reference:Lieberman, D. A. (2012).    San Diego, CA: Bridgepoint Education.

Part 1 (use attached pdfs as sources)
For this discussion, select one form of diversity from each of the four broad categories of diversity (age, race or ethnicity, faith, and physical appearance or disability) and respond to the following:
Compare and contrast them based on the concepts presented in the unit’s readings by presenting unique challenges faced by members of these groups, how these issues impact workforce effectiveness positively and negatively, and suggestions for improving the members’ experience in the workplace.
How does the definition or distinction between diversity and inclusion impact your understanding of these differences?
What impact if any do affinity, ethnic, or religious groups have on inclusion?

Part 2

(View this link for to answer Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD4wpiyhuQo )

The TEDx Talk video, Why Diversity Is Upside Down: Andrs Tapia at TEDxIndianapolis, which you watched in this unit’s studies, presents several interesting thoughts about the standard perception of diversity. It challenges viewers to move past “Diversity 1.0” and learn the new paradigm of diversity as a multidimensional mixture of attributes, experiences, and ethnicity embodied by every human being. Tapia challenged you to shift your mental model away from a monolithic, single-dimensional, unchanging structure to a model based on the reality of life in the postmodern, post-American world. The challenge, Tapia says, is in making the move from valuing diversity (the mix) for the sake of having a mix to appreciating differences and finding ways to “make the mix work.”

Reflecting on the video and the readings, respond to the following:

What is your blend? Describe your identity as a multidimensional individual to the extent you feel comfortable. How does your organization (current or past) accommodate, manage, or value you as a multidimensional human asset?
How can organizations address diversity in a multidimensional way?
How can HR help employees and leaders develop the skill of inclusion?

Formal Writing Assignment 3

Formal Writing Assignment 3

Focus on Poetry

Overview

In our study of poetry, we have discussed several key poetic elements such as rhythm, sounds and song. Formal Writing Assignment 3 is a critical thinking and information literacy project that will require you to make deeper connections between poetry and music.

Requirements

Access Online Sources:

To begin, pick a song that you like. The song you pick should be chosen on the merits of its lyrics rather than its beat or musical accompaniment. The song, which must be in English, may contain a moderate amount of graphic language, and, if you choose, it may deal with controversial themes.

Locate the reliable lyrics to your song from an online source. A copy of the song lyrics must be attached to the assignment link. If your song has been covered by many different artists, please identify which version you are discussing in your paper, and make sure that the lyrics you attach correspond accordingly.

Analyze (at least 400 words):

Once you have picked your song, you are to analyze it as a piece of poetry in a well-organized essay of at least four paragraphs. As the analysis depends on it, your paper should also include some quotations from the song. Because you will be quoting text from the chosen song, you will also need to include a Works Cited page. Examine the song through the scope of some of the following poetic elements:

Persona
Voice (Irony, Tone)
Diction
Allusion
Imagery
Rhythm
Sound (Rime, Alliteration/Assonance, etc.)
Symbols
Figures of speech
Denotation/connotation
Type of poetry (i.e., lyric, narrative, etc.)

Things to Remember

All papers for this class should adhere to MLA format. A Works Cited page is required.
Do not forget to give your paper a title.
Do not include a cover sheet. At the top of the first page simply write a header consisting of your name, the date and our course and section names.
Do not forget to attach the song lyrics.

Project description
The final exam is due NO LATER THAN 5:59 PM EST ON WEDNESDAY, 4 May. Do not be late as the folder closes at 6 pm EST. It will be available on 2 May.

Remember, you must submit to BOTH MY E-MAIL ADDRESS and the assignment folder.

Read the instructions on the attached document.

FINAL EXAM TECHNOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATIONS

The final assessment is this take-home essay exam. The exam will consist of three short-essay questions on giant themes throughout this course, covering the material you have read and our discussions. As a take-home exam, the final exam grading rubric is very similar to the essay grading rubric.

Please answer all three questions below. Submit this exam via the ASSIGNMENT FOLDER and to MY E-MAIL (emily.lipira@faculty.umuc.edu) no later than 5:59 PM EST (USA), Wednesday, 4 May. It will become available to you on Monday, 2 May. Please submit with a Word document attachment, so no PDFs. You will notice I used parts of three of the discussion topics for the exam questions. Do not simply use your discussion-board responses as this assessment is a final exam, and therefore graded more strictly. Reword and analyze more to think about the topic anew.

Answer ALL THREE short essay questions and address all parts of the question. 100 total points.

SHORT ESSAY: The Printing Press has been described as one of the greatest revolutions in communication and knowledge expansion, alongside the development of languages and the personal computer. It led to the expansion of knowledge exponentially in many ways. In what ways did the emergence of the printing press change the world in the fifteen through seventeenth centuries? Remember, most lower-class people still did not become literate until far after this era. Give two reasons and analyze. Do not simply quote from our readings, discussions, or anywhere else. So write your answer in your own words and analyze thoughtfully what it means. 3-4 full paragraphs (minimum of 5 full sentences per paragraph). 33 points.

SHORT ESSAY: In what ways did the two Industrial Revolutions show both the advantages of the scientific-technical successes on the populations of the world? What groups benefitted and which endured greater hardships and specifically why? Do not simply quote from the readings, discussions, or anywhere else. So write your answer in your own words and analyze thoughtfully what it means. 3-4 full paragraphs (minimum of 5 full sentences per paragraph). 33 points.

SHORT ESSAY: The development of the computer has engaged a crucial part of the communication-information revolution of recent history. The development of the Internet and related technologies in addition to new forms of transportation have engendered a communication and transportation revolution unlike any in human’s history previously. In what ways have such innovations and related developments affected the entire world both benefically and problematically?

Best of luck
