Finding Culture in Historical CivilizationsStudying a society’

Finding "Culture" in Historical Civilizations
Studying a society’s culture can provide us with insights about
the way people lived and what their values were. Using artifacts
such as clothing, art, music, and literature, cultural historians
piece together patterns of daily living, and try to answer
questions about how people in historical societies viewed each
other and themselves. In this activity, you will identify and
describe elements of modern culture and think about how they
might be interpreted a thousand years from now.
1. Choose one element of culture (clothing, music, food,
religion, art, values/morals, language/slang, beauty ideals,
dating norms, gender expectations, family patterns, etc.).
2. Create a new post. Include your chosen element of culture
within the title of your post.
3. Begin your post by describing your chosen element of
culture. Basically, what is it?
4. List and describe three specific and modern examples of your
chosen element of culture. Include clickable links, images, etc.
when appropriate.
5. Now imagine a researcher a thousand years in the future finds
the three pieces of evidence you described in step number four.
Based on the three elements, what might that researcher
conclude about our culture and society?

Competencies
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the
following competencies:
· Analyze financial and investment decisions that add value to
the organization
· Analyze financing options to maximize investor value
Scenario
You are a financial analyst for the chosen business, Disney US.
that you selected during your Module Two Journal assignment.
Your supervisor has discovered last minute that your business’s
board of directors is looking for updates on the business’s
financial health. Your supervisor has asked you to write a report
regarding the business’s current financial health and the
available financial options for improving the business. You’ve
also been asked to make recommendations as to which options
the business should choose to best support its financial health.
Your supervisor will then use your report to present to the
business’s board of directors, whose members all have varying
levels of knowledge in terms of finance.
Directions
Using the business you chose from the Project Two Business
Options List, create a report for your supervisor to share with
the board of directors during their presentation. Keep in mind
that your report needs to be easy for someone unfamiliar with
finance to understand, as not all of the board members for your

business fully understand finance.
Using Mergent Online, locate the most recent quarterly
financial statements for your chosen company, and use these
statements to support your analysis throughout the project.
Refer to the Project Two Financial Assumptions document
located in the Supporting Materials section for the assumptions
you need in order to analyze the three available financial

necessary ethical considerations, appropriate calculations, and
examples to support your analysis.
E. Capital Lease: Analyze the risks and benefits of the business
choosing to purchase a capital lease, including the necessary
ethical considerations, appropriate calculations, and examples
to support your analysis.
2. Financial Evaluation: In this section of the report, you will
evaluate the three available financial options for the business
and recommend which option(s) are the best for the business to
choose.
A. Financing: Explain how a business finances its operations
and expansion.
B. Bond Investment: Assess the appropriateness of a bond
investment as a financing option for the business’s financial
health, using your financial analysis and other financial
information to your support claims.

equipment investment as a financing option for the business’s
financial health, using your financial analysis and other
financial information to support your claims.
D. Capital Lease: Assess the appropriateness of a capital lease
purchase as a financing option for the business’s financial
health, using your financial analysis and other financial
information to support your claims.
E. Short-Term Financing: Explain how potential short-term
financing sources could help the business raise needed funds for
improving its financial health. Base your response on the
business’s current financial information.
F. Future Financial Considerations: Describe the business’s

likely future financial performance based on its current
financial well-being and risk levels. Use financial information
to support your claims.
3. Financial Recommendations: In this section of the report, you
will recommend which financing option(s) are the best for the
business to choose depending on its financial health.
A. Financial Recommendation(s): Recommend the most
appropriate financing option(s) based on the business’s
financial health, including a rationale for why the option(s) are
