The 20th century and modern art is characterized by an expansion of art media. One of the foremost and most influential media of the 20th century is film. Before writing your assignment for this week, read the information in your textbook (chapter 37) about the rise of fascism and use of propaganda in art. Then look at reputable sources online about Leni Riefenstahl’s Triumph of the Will and Charlie Chaplin’s speech in the Great Dictator and watch the films in the first two lecture links. Knowledge about the films will help you to better understand what you are seeing. For this week’s writing assignment compare and contrast the effect of each film clip on the viewer. Make sure you understand the content and purpose of each film before answering and writing your response. Assignment Notes: Who initialized each film and what purpose did each filmmaker have in mind? Pay special attention to the film techniques invented and implemented by Leni Riefenstahl and the manipulative effects on the contemporary (i.e. 1934) German audience. How does each film influence its audience? This written assignment should be thoughtfully written in a minimum of 300 words. .

number 1 answer this in a paragraph Share the findings of your DiSC assessment. How can you integrate and relate to individuals with different personality and leadership styles? Include some specific examples. number 2 reply to this persons post Having not taken a test like this in quite some time, I was anxious to see how the 10 years in a management role may have affected my results. The assessment showed I have a blend of both Dominant and Inspiring traits. My Dominant traits are probably a little stronger than my Inspiring traits. Some words that describe me are: Directive, Decisive, Driven and Interactive. I am task-oriented, and probably get a great deal done. I probably like problem solving and getting results. I am comfortable interacting with others to make things happen. These results describe me to a T. In my former role, I managed a group of 12 people who supported the efforts of a National Accounts sales team for a large packaging company. We supported a sales portfolio of almost $2billion and dealt with multiple priorities and deadlines almost daily. I come from a very small town mid-westerner background (high school graduating class of 98 -- that's people, not the year), so I can communicate with people from all walks of life. I was the only person in the office who knew the cleaning crew by name, yet the CEO knew mine. My dad was an iron worker and my mom a homemaker, but they owned several small businesses when I was growing up, so I guess I get my business sense from being raised in that type of environment. I'm intrigued by what makes people "tick" and I think that helps me interact with people with other leadership styles. My style is very direct (obviously), but I have had the most success leading and managing people because I treat people how I want to be treated and I don't expect anyone to do anything I wouldn't do. My leadership style served me well for 10 years after which time the company I worked for was bought by another company. The new company had different business philosophies, which included all employees being in Atlanta, with less experience, working for less money, so my department and I were laid off. I am employed again, but not in a management role, and I struggle with the management and leaders as their style is quite different from mine and my prior boss. I have never encountered so many people who are miserable at their job, so I'm anxious to see what I can learn from this course.............jane number 3 answer in a paragraph Define the term "dominant culture", and in your own words give an example of an aspect of dominant culture in current American society. How does this feature of dominant culture function within our society? How did it function during the postwar era in the United States? What are some of the values or mores present within this aspect of dominant culture? number 4 reply to post I view dominant culture as being the "popular" thoughts of usually the majo.

number 1 complete the attached test called the urbulence Tolerance Test , and then answer the question: What are the implications of your 'change tolerance' for you as a leader? As a follower? How does one become more comfortable with change? number 2 reply to this based on the above question On the test, I received a 1.54, which apparently seemed to be the average for the MBA students. I feel that I am actually quite tolerant to change in my current position as a manager. I have to be open to changes on a daily basis because it is a way of life in the corporate environment. As Yukl states, "Relevant competencies identified in more recent research include emotional intelligence, social intelligence, systems thinking, and the ability to learn and adapt to change" (2006, pg. 209). It's important to be able to handle change with acceptance and grace, and try to stay positive. That is how I stay comfortable with change in as a leader and follower, look at it in a way that is positive and feel that I will only grow and learn from the situation. If there were no changes, life would be boring. :) Each day is a new adventure so try to see everything as a good thing even if it seems a bit scary. Yukl, Gary. (2006). Leadership in Organizations (6th ed.). Upper Saddle River, New Jersey : Pearson number 3 How did the media portray the Vietnam War during the 1970's? How did this affect popular youth culture? number 4 repy to this based on the above question The television news industry is a business with a profit motive before it is a public service; consequently, producers and reporters attempt to make the news more entertaining by airing stories that involve conflict, human impact, or morality. Television news did not find material that was dramatic enough until the number of American troops was raised to 175, 000 in July 1965 (Hallin, 1986, p.115). Combat, interviews with American soldiers, and helicopter scenes all provided the television news industry with the drama that it required. The networks set up permanent bureaus in Saigon and sent hundreds of correspondents there throughout the war. From 1965 through the Tet Offensive in 1968, 86 percent of the CBS and NBC nightly news programs covered the war, focusing mostly on ground and air combat (Bonior, Champlin, Kolly, 1984, p.4). This coverage was generally very supportive of U.S involvement in the war and of the soldier himself until 1967. The media labeled the conflict as a "good guys shooting Reds" story so that it could fit into the ongoing saga of the Cold War (Wyatt, 1995, p.81). In the wake of such death and destruction, it isn’t surprising that peace, love and sexual freedom became the mantra of a new generation. The youth movement challenged authority on all fronts, and authority frequently fought back. As the Sixties unfolded, no institution remained untouched, no belief unchallenged. It was a climatic decade. A dashing young president was shot only two brief years a.

number 1 Are you a born leader? If yes, provide examples of how you would prove it. If no, where are you short? Are you more comfortable as a leader or a follower? Why? number 2 reply to this I am not a born leader. I fall short to the take charge attitude of dominance. I do not have a dominating presence and I tend to shy away from being the center of attention. I would rather be someone's right hand man. I am the Robin to Batman or the Louis Lane to Superman. However, I strive on being a supportive follower that works hard, has a positive attitude, and is the support system for the leader. I have never sight out a leadership position, but I enjoy doing work that carries great importance and helps out the organization. The readings this week and last week makes me think about the different aspects of my personality and some of the qualities that are considered leadership. According to our readings, "Leadership is realized in the process of influencing the activities of an organized group toward goal achievement" (Yukl, 2006, P.3). Even though a person is not in a direct leadership position or prefers to stay out of the lime light, they can still influence people by their attitudes, work ethic, and loyalty to the company. It does not take a person to be in a leadership position to show leadership qualities. In conclusion, I am not a born leader, but I show certain qualities that reflect leadership. I would rather be someone's sidekick and help them guide and influence the organization to success. Dominance is not a strength of mine and because of that I find it hard to take charge and be the boss. References Yukl, G. (2006) Leadership in Organizations, sixth edition. Retrieved on February 25, 2014 from http://www.coursesmart.com/C090030010667/firstsection number 3 When is participative leadership most likely to be effective? When not? Provide an example of when you've seen participative leadership in your experience be effective or ineffective. number 4 reply to this Participative leadership involves efforts by a leader to encourage and facilitate participation by others in making important decisions" (Yukl, 2006, p. 82). I think participative leadership is important because it involves an entire team, and it shows the value of others ideas and creates leadership opportunities. I think this type of leadership is most effective when there has been a steady track record of the leader following through with the thoughts of others. When a leader truly wants what is best for the company, and they can see beyond themselves. Participative leadership can effective as well as ineffective. An effective example of participative leadership would be an employee owned company or volunteer projects. When a company is employee owned, all employees want what is best and so its important to listen to everyone and the leader to do what is best for the company. Another effective example would be volunteer projects such as .

number 1 answer this one in a pargraph Although you may not be a formal manager, you have opportunities to be a leader, even for a short time, as part of a team or as an individual. In your current role how do you consider yourself a leader? What leadership theories best fit you as a leader? Which theories best fit you when you are leading and when you are a follower? Are the theories the same at all times? Why or why not? number 2 reply to this one based on the above question Right now I am a stay at home mother, so that is currently my leadership role. I am a leader to my son and because I am a parent, I see myself as being strong and authoritative, when it comes to the “leadership role” of being a mother. I think the leadership theories that best fit me would be: Situational and Transformational . I feel as though one of my greatest strengths is being able to adapt to new situations very easily. I can also adapt how I am, to each individual that I am with to best suit what is needed for them to strive at their respective position. I also like to lead by example and am confident and optimistic in my decisions. When I have a goal that needs to be set, I stand by it and believe the outcome will come with hard work and the right goal setting. The theory that best fits me as a follower would probably have to be The Charismatic Leader . I would like to have a leader that is going to be sympathetic + understanding to problems that occur in the workforce. Having a leader that is willing to make sacrificies for the best of the company and is confident is also very important. I don’t believe that all of the Theories are the same. I believe that they all have the same basic approach, which is to lead a team, but the strategies behind each Theory is different. number 3 below is 5 emails i sent out for pretend you will reply to each email as that person i wrote to. When you reply you will reply with feedback of my leadership style. When you do reply make sure all of the replys are very good about me. Email 1. Dear Samson Kollock RE: INVITATION FOR A FEEDBACK ON PERSONAL BEHAVIOUR AND STYLE I hope you are fine and in good health. I am writing this letter to provoke feedback from you concerning my personal behavioral style. I currently undertook a disc assessment so as to know my behaviors. As you may have heard, the assessment categorizes all individuals into four subsets of behavior. The four subsets are namely: Dominance, influence, steadiness and conscientiousness. Accordingly, the results implied that I am a person who places emphasis in accomplishing results. The results dictate that my behaviors are: I consist of seeing a big picture. I am blunt. I accept challenges and I get straight to the point. To make the results more reliable, I am requesting you to kindly let me know the kind of a person that I am. Kindly use the descriptive words that are mainly used to describe individuals in, accordance with the Disc assessment.

nron Corporation was launched in 1985, with the merger of Houston Natural Gas and InterNorth, a Nebraska company. In 1990, Enron—which was just a natural gas transportation company at the time—started a new division to trade natural gas. The company went from being a “stodgy” gas pipeline company to being a “world-class” company overnight. Enron soon became a $55 billion empire, trading gas, electricity, minerals, water, paper and broadband capacity. A critical part of Enron’s success was the company’s employee value proposition (EVP). The EVP focused on Enron as a dealmaker and was designed to attract the top talent the company needed to continue to move it forward. The EVP provided employees with the opportunity to do something “big” and to change how business was done in other industries. Jobs were restructured to give employees a lot of elbow room and headroom. Traditional gas pipeline employees were not the employees needed for this new, never-before-tried venture. Internal job movements at Enron were an important part of the EVP. Managers were strongly encouraged to allow employees to move within the company. The goal was to not hold anyone back. When the Global Broadband unit was launched, 100 top performers from around the company were brought together in Houston. By the end of the day, 50 had been recruited for the new project. Overall, the recruiting strategy focusing on internal recruitment paid off. The business continued to grow and attract entrepreneurial employees. The company that thought it had nowhere to go but up came crashing down in 2001, when it was charged with illegal activities. By 2004, Enron’s corporate officers faced numerous charges of wrongdoing, and the company was a shell of its former self. Managers were charged with manufacturing profits, hiding debt, and bullying Wall Street to buy into its questionable accounting and investment practices. An extensive amount of downsizing had occurred, and many employees had lost all of their retirement savings after Enron’s stock collapsed. Faced with bankruptcy and a sullied reputation, the company struggled to continue but finally made the decision to cease to exist once all litigation concludes. At one time, Enron’s recruiting efforts were described as a model for other employers. Enron portrayed itself as an exciting company with lots of growth opportunity—a firm in which employees experienced a great deal of autonomy and responsibility. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Enron did a lot of things right from a recruiting standpoint. Discuss its recruiting strategy and why it worked. 2. Do you think that Enron’s overall recruitment EVP and strategy played any role in the problems that resulted at Enron? If so, what and how? 3. Discuss why it’s important to create a recruiting message that’s attractive but that doesn’t “oversell” the company. 4. Assume that in a few years Enron decides to reconstitute itself in some form.

A new button, EVALUATE will be added that reads in the sales representative’s data file after it has been created. Design Requirements: You must use pseudocode to design your algorithm for the ENTER button functionality.These design artifacts (pseudocode) will be inserted into a design document to be reviewed by your classmates and submitted with the final application for the final task. Application Requirements: Expand your Swing application to write the entered data out to a text file. Instead of displaying the data in the jTextArea when ENTER is pressed, change this functionality so that the data is written to a file. Name the output file salesrep.txt. Each time the ENTER button is pressed, the data will be written to the file. Write the data in the following format to a text file, using white spaces as the delimiter. Include the categories (SUPPLIES, BOOKS, PAPER) in your file to label the dollar amount sold for each category. The sales district entered should be converted to upper case (NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST). Independent line separators should be used in the output file. Code for the ENTER button should be well commented.

Now that you understand the full project lifecycle and how all the pieces fit together, go back and prepare to present your project plan by slide presentation. Portions of the deliverables will be completed by the group; others will be completed by the individuals—see the table following. It must have a consistent look and feel, and there should not be any redundancies, contradictions, or gaps. The document and presentation must flow as if one project manager created all of it. Create a slide presentation with speaker notes that will provide a comprehensive summary of the project plan (20–30 slides with speaker notes). It will be presented to the project sponsor and other members of senior management and should be organized as follows: Project Section Detail To Be Developed By Project Plan Overview Provide an introduction to the project. Develop the project charter and identify the project sponsor and customer. Describe how the project will be measured for success. Describe the components of the project plan, how it will be used throughout the project, and its benefit to the sponsor. Entire group Project Scope Describe the scope of the project—the major deliverables as well as the items that are not part of the scope. Be sure to address the full scope, not just the area addressed in the earlier activity. Describe how scope will be approved and how changes to the scope will be documented, reviewed, and approved. Individual contribution Project Leadership and Communications Identify the sponsor, stakeholders, and key customers involved in the project. Describe any special considerations for staffing the project. Based on the structure of the organization, describe how staffing changes will be identified, escalated, and resolved. Illustrate the communication structure—escalation, reviews, approval, and information. Be sure to address all the audiences, not just the ones identified in the earlier activity. Individual contribution Project Schedule Use a work breakdown structure or similar tool to explain the major activities to be completed as part of the project. Describe the major milestones for the project. For each milestone, identify the associated deliverable, the approximate effort involved in creating the deliverable, and the people involved. For two of the milestones, detail the activities to be completed to achieve the milestone. Be sure to address dependencies, duration, and resource effort. Describe how changes to the schedule will be identified, escalated, and resolved. Individual contribution Project Budget Describe the budgeting process that will be used for the project. Identify the components of the budget, the items that will need to have costs associated with them, and the mechanisms that could be used to estimate the project. Describe how changes to the budget will be identified, escalated, and resolved. Individual contribution Project Risks Describe the possible risk events for the project.

Now that we have decided to become an S Corp after reviewing the various pros and cons, and we have timely filed our S Election on the Form 2553, how do we account for the income? One of the differences between an S Corp and a partnership for example is that allocations of income are made to shareholders on a per-share per-day basis. Here is an example for us to work through: The Bridges Corporation, and S Corporation, is owned equally by three shareholders, Carl, David, and Dale. The corporation is on a calendar year basis. (By the way S Corps must use a calendar year end, unlike C Corps which can choose a fiscal year end.) On February 1, 2013, Dale sold his 1/3 interest to Matt. For the year ended December 31, 2013 the corporation had non-separately stated ordinary income of $120,000. For 2013, how should the income be allocated to the shareholders? .

Nothing in science is written in stone. Whenever new discoveries force scientists to reconsider their hypotheses, theories and data, they do just that. This is why people think of science as a collection of concepts that are always being revised. This holds true for the basic building block concepts within science as well. The cell is a perfect example of this: in the mid-1600s, Robert Hooke used one of the very first microscopes to examine thin slices of cork. When he saw that the cork plant was made up of tiny box-shaped pieces, he gave science the concept of the cell. For 100 years, people thought of the cell as the smallest thing inside all living creatures. But then, in 1781, Felice Fontana spotted something even smaller inside the cells from an eel: the nucleolus. This discovery made people rethink the idea that cells were the tiniest things inside living creatures. Clearly, there were even smaller things inside cells. Since Fontana's time, scientists have refined, revised, and rewritten their view of the cell thousands of times in order to match up with every piece of new data. This same process has happened with the scientific view of geological processes including plate tectonics and earthquakes. Review attachment 17.2 on "Science in the Making, Reactions to Plate Tectonics." and answer questions below also Learn more about Alfred Wegener here: http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/dynamic/wegener.html http://scign.jpl.nasa.gov/learn/plate2.htm Science and revision In 200 words answer these questions Using what you learned about plate tectonics, Alfred Wegener, and the basics of scientific investigation from the previous units discuss the following: Did Wegener reveal his theory of continental drift too soon? For the sake of scientific investigation, how is revealing an explanation for a process early both risky and sometimes necessary? Apart from lacking an explanation for how the continents could move across the surface of the Earth, Wegener’s research was met by skepticism for other reasons. How can a scientist overcome skepticism? What features of the scientific method can help prevent a scientist from being labeled a crackpot? If Alfred Wegener were alive today, and had access to the technology and data we have now, share a form of evidence that he could have added to his theory or would have changed his theory. Try to share a different form of evidence from those shared by your classmates and/or add to their posts by describing how the evidence is collected, how the technology works to collect the data, or how this technology/evidence has been used in other applications. .

Notes on Hermes I. Hermes and Boundaries A. Hermes’ name 1. Greek Hermeias 2. Clearly from herma, cairn (pile of stones that marks a boundary) 3. Makes him god of boundaries B. Hermes’ various functions 1. All have to do with boundaries in some way 2. A herald (Gr. kerux, which can also be translated “courier” or “messenger”) crosses boundaries on official business a) and are unbelievably important in non-literate cultures like the Archaic Greek culture that gives us almost all of classical myth, because they would have had to have professional skill at memorization b) that skill, in turn, makes them like the bards, which will be essential understanding the Homeric Hymn to Hermes and also certain important aspects of the Odyssey c) and it also gives them a special relation to the truth, because a herald would have had a really amazing ability to lie and get away with it 3. The psychopomp (guide of souls) crosses the boundary between life and death 4. The holder of the kerykeion (later called the caduceus just through mispronunciation) controls the boundary between sleep and waking 5. The god of thieves has power over the boundaries around people’s houses. II. Hermes the Trickster A. The figure of the trickster is found in many mythologies: a character who uses his or her wits to win fame 1. One way to look at the trickster is as a character who controls and manipulates boundaries: especially the boundary between true and false 2. On this understanding, Hermes and Odysseus are both tricksters, because of their travel, their wits, and their lying B. When Odysseus enters the house of Alkinoos, the Phaiakians are just pouring the last libation of the day, to Hermes. Why? 1. Because Hermes controls sleep 2. Because Hermes, god of thieves, controls boundaries you want others to keep away from 3. Because Odysseus is crossing their boundary at this moment! 4. It’s the bard’s way of making the Hermes/Odysseus/trickster connection C. Suggested viewing: “The Adventurs of Baron Munchausen” directed by Terry Gilliam 1. A wonderful version of an 18 th century story of a trickster, using movie magic to negotiate the boundaries III. The Homeric Hymn to Hermes A. In this hymn, the anonymous bards have created a meditation on the meaning of the trickster hero, and his relation to kleos, epic glory 1. Hermes has a problem, because he’s been born far from Olympus 2. But as the child of Zeus and Maia, he should be an Olympian 3. He’s a god of tricks, and of the dark, but that’s not what Olympus is about 4. and Apollo is the best example: Apollo is himself, as the god of music and of the lyre, the god of kleos B. The master-stroke is probably having Hermes invent the lyre 1. Which is highly analogous to having Odysseus take over the telling of his story 2. and shows that some of the bards, at least, recognized that they were pretty much jus.
