1. After watching all the films in Week Two’s content, discuss at least 5 storytelling/narrative/plot devices or editing choices that you have seen in recent films or TV shows. How did these devices or choices help drive the story? Then link those narrative techniques to the films you watched. For example: In Walk, - You, Walk! (1912) Rose gets the help of friends to teach someone who mistreated her a lesson. This is common plot device in today’s situation comedies. 2. After watching The Gold Rush, compare the content and style with modern comedy. Focus on the physicality of the performers and the filmmaking and not on the fact that modern comedy relies upon speech. Are there physical comedians today that can compare to Chaplin? Do modern comedies have the same blend of comedy and romance? Do you feel the humor of the silent comedies holds up and why or why not? Use specific vocabulary and concepts we learned to describe what you're seeing and intended effect on the viewer. ...

Comedy round up!
This document provides instructions for revising a PowerPoint presentation on British comedy films. It lists several topics to cover in the presentation, including describing the comedy genre, discussing character types found in comedy films, analyzing how the case studies fit aspects of "Britishness" and British humor, and mind mapping responses to exam questions about genre conventions and what makes the films British. Students are asked to create a new slide for each topic, using the case studies Love Actually and Four Lions as examples, and email the completed PowerPoint to the teacher.
Film trailers introduction
Film trailers are meant to excite audiences about seeing a film. In just a few minutes, trailers can establish genre, mood, characters, setting, plot, and themes. As narrative texts, trailers engage students of all ages and learning styles. Trailers also introduce students to creating and structuring texts. Film trailers typically establish genre to attract the intended audience. The trailer introduces the opening, builds up relationships and the world, presents a problem or obstacle, shows key events, but avoids revealing the full resolution to leave audiences wanting more.
Media Evaluation Powerpoint
The document provides an analysis and evaluation of a media trailer produced by Olivia Ward, Lucy Hatton, and Jess Berry. It discusses how the trailer uses conventions of the romantic comedy genre through its storyline of a girl pursuing a boy.

Feedback was received and changes were made to make certain elements like actor names more eye-catching and end the trailer in a more positive manner.
Evaluation question 1 powerpoint
The document discusses how the creator analyzed conventions of melodramatic soap operas like Hollyoaks and Waterloo Road to develop their own media product, a trailer for a fictional soap opera called "Victoria Halls".
Some of the key conventions that were used include having a multi-strand narrative with exaggerated storylines focusing on issues like relationships, homosexuality, drugs, alcohol, and pregnancy. The creator also included young main characters, consistent settings like pubs and parks that establish regional identity, and technical elements like shot reverse shots, close-ups, and non-diegetic music.
While drawing from real melodramas, the creator challenged some conventions by having only young adult characters and slightly incorporating Propp's

They expose viewers to formal and informal language usage, slang terms, idioms, and dialects that provide cultural context. Movies also depict various subcultures and showcase their associated languages, music, and genres. Common activities like dating often involve seeing movies together, and people frequently attend films that appeal to their own subcultural interests and age groups.

Evaluation
Rachael Walters evaluates her horror comedy media product. She discusses how it uses conventions of the genre like slow camera movements and close-ups for horror scenes and funny characters for comedy scenes. She believes Rogue Pictures would be a good fit to distribute it because they have successfully released similar hybrid films in the past. The target audience is young adults due to horror and comedy elements. Rachael attracts this audience through an introductory voiceover and appropriate use of music. Through making this product, she has learned about effective camera techniques and how to smoothly connect scenes to tell a clear story without confusing viewers.

Week 5 Instructor GuidanceOne of the topics we’ve been talki.docx
Week 5 Instructor Guidance
One of the topics we’ve been talking about throughout this course is how we can track both the personal and societal impact of film. In fact, your Week One Introduction post asked you to consider this issue and, as we progressed through the class and learned new terminology--new ways of looking at film, we were able to reconsider and develop our perspectives on this.
Both of your discussion posts this week touch on this issue, and it comes up in relation to your final written assignment as well.
While everything we’ve learned has helped us develop a critical capacity for talking about film, deepening our appreciation of the medium itself, ultimately our understanding of the (sometimes very personal) way film intersects with society is the key to unlocking another layer to the material from this course.
Students sometimes wonder about this course, asking how the material directly impacts their study of a chosen major. Students may even go a step beyond that and ask about how the material they've been studying has bearing on their anticipated career field at all!
That's why it's important to take a step back, away from the camera, away from the specifications of shots or the varying aspects of cinematography. It's time to pull our eyes away from the screen and look around at the world that surrounds us. We should be able to identify and consider the many ways film can impact society . . . as well as how society may impact film! In this way, we can start to consider how we can apply what we've learned in this class!
A recent study conducted by the University of Rochester (NY) finds that watching and discussing movies about relationships is as effective in lowering divorce rates as other, more intensive, early marriage counseling programs! Watch this video presentation.
Follow this link for more information about the study, and to download information about the films the couples watched, as well as the different questions the researchers asked the couples to reflect on after they watched specific movies.
As you reflect on your own journey in this class--how you watch movies and the kinds of impacts that films can have on people--try to think deeply about the many ways we engage with film and what it can really mean to us in our majors, in our careers, and in our lives!
Many of the movies we respond to are made for mostly for entertainment. No matter their artistic value, or how intelligent the plot may be, the main goal is to find an audience and get them to pay money to watch what unfolds onscreen. Individual members of the creative team--the director, the writer, specific actors--might have other more lofty aims, but at the root there is a basic economic principle at work.
Therefore, it would be easy to write these films off and focus more exclusively on documentaries or smaller budget movies made by guerilla filmmakers who aren't tied to the money making Hollywood scheme of things. We could focus on films that try.
Evaluation - Question 1
The document evaluates how a media product uses, develops, or challenges conventions of real media products. It notes that the product includes conventions of romantic comedies like a couple going through a phase and introducing relationship drama through a third party. However, it also develops conventions by introducing characters at the start to tell their stories in the present rather than the past. Additionally, it challenges conventions by placing credits in the middle of the opening rather than the start and not including a typical voiceover.
Interpersonal Communication.docx
This document provides instructions for a final paper assignment analyzing interpersonal communication concepts in a chosen movie. Students must demonstrate understanding of five course concepts through examples from the movie. They must also suggest how one or more characters could improve communication based on class lessons. The paper should be 5-7 pages including citations, a reference page, and conforming to APA style. It will be worth 25% of the student's final grade. Suggested movies focus on relationships and include genres like romantic comedies, dramas, and classics.

Film Worksheet
Art Education 1600
Art and Music since 1945
For this assignment, you are to see a film this semester and fill out your worksheet. Use the skills you learned for the Art Worksheet, but now you have to analyze the combination of sound and moving images.Step 1 Select a Film
Selecting a film to watch is more than picking a movie with favorite actors or a genre you like (science fiction, superheroes, detective mysteries, romance). The film you pick should have enough interesting content to write about. It helps to inform yourself with two kinds of film reviews. First, professional critics have seen many movies and write from a well-informed point of view, but theirs is just one point of view. Beyond the perspective of Professional critic, there are the reviews from moviegoers, like yourselves, who post their responses on blogs and theater websites. Viewer reviews can be just as valid as professional reviews, so long as they explain why they feel the way they do about a film. Both kinds of reviews can help you narrow your choice of a film, and in the end, pick a film you feel like writing about.
11 pts: State the title of the film you chose and a write brief synopsis of the film in your words (90 to 100 words):
Citations and References
If you decide you use ideas from the film reviews or any source, write the name of the source here AND Cite the source(s) where you use them:
REMEMBER
1. You must view the film for this worksheet personally and you must see it in a theater this semester. (Free screenings at the Union also count as a theater). Even if you choose an older film made in 1945 or later, we want you to see the film in a theater. At a theater, you sense the effects of the sound and moving images as they were intended. Films reproduced for television or on DVD on a home system lose the effect you sense in a theater.
2. Connect your review of the film with the cultural and social ideas we address in class. How do you think audiences relate the narrative on screen with other narratives in the press or entertainment media? Superheroes, for example, save the day when complicated agencies of government and military fail.
3. Look over the Film Worksheet before you attend the film, so you know what to look for in the film. Taking notes during the film is usually a problem, but you can make your notes afterward. You might be surprised at how much you will recall about the film and your experience of viewing it.

Score : 11 pts.
4 - 22 pts.
Feedback: Some people thrive in teleworking arrangements, whereas others discover that it is neither a satisfying nor productive work environment for them. This scale assesses three personal dispositions that are identified in the literature as characteristics of effective teleworkers: (a) high company alignment, (b) low social needs at work and (c) independent initiative.
Company alignment
Company alignment estimates the extent to which you follow company procedures and have values congruent with company values. The greater the alignment, the more likely that you can abide by company practices while working alone and with direct supervision. While some deviation from company practices may be appropriate, teleworkers need to agree with company values and provide work that is consistent with company expectations most of the time. Scores on this scale range from 4 to 20.
Extroversion
Score: 17 pts.
4 - 22 pts.
Feedback: Low individualism
Individualism refers to the extent that you value independence and personal uniqueness. Highly individualist people value personal freedom, self-sufficiency, control over their own lives, and appreciation of their unique qualities that distinguish them from others.
However, keep in mind that the average level of individualism is higher in some cultures (such as Australia) than in others.
2. Total score: 8 pts.
RANGE BASED FEEDBACK:
6-12 pts.
Feedback: Low work centrality
People with high work centrality define themselves mainly by their work roles and view non-work roles as much less significant. Consequently, people with a high work centrality score likely have lower complexity in their self-concept. This can be a concern because if something goes wrong with their work role, their non-work roles are not of sufficient value to maintain a positive self-evaluation. At the same time, work dominates our work lives, so those with very low scores would be more of the exception than the rule in most societies. Scores range from 6 to 36 with higher scores indicating higher work centrality. The norms in the following table are based on a large sample of Canadian employees (average score was 20.7). However, work centrality norms vary from one group to the next. For example, the average score in a sample of Canadian nurses was around 17 (translated to the scale range used here).
3. Total score: 32 pts.
RANGE BASED FEEDBACK:
28-32 pts.
Feedback: High need for social approval
The need for social approval scale estimates the extent to which you are motivated to seek favourable evaluation from others. Founded on the drive to bond, the need for social approval is a secondary need, because people vary in this need based on their self-concept, values, personality and possibly social norms. This scale ranges from 0 to 32. How high or low is your need for social approval? The ideal would be to compare your score with the collective results of other students in your class. Otherwi ...

This document provides pointers for answering evaluation questions about a media production project. It addresses questions about how the media product uses or challenges conventions of its genre, how it represents social groups, its target audience, and how technology was utilized. For the genre conventions question, it advises discussing similarities to and differences from other genre films, as well as success in achieving intentions. The social groups question suggests analyzing the representation of at least two groups. The audience question covers identifying the targeted demographic and research informing decisions.
Evaluation
Rachael Walters evaluates her horror comedy media product. She discusses how it uses conventions of the genre like slow camera movements and close-ups for horror scenes and funny characters for comedy scenes. She believes Rogue Pictures would be a good fit to distribute it because they have successfully released similar hybrid films in the past. The target audience is young adults due to horror and comedy elements. Rachael attracts this audience through an introductory voiceover and appropriate use of music. Through making this product, she has learned about effective camera techniques and how to smoothly connect scenes to tell a clear story without confusing viewers.
18 th Birthday Presentation
The document provides information about the genre, narrative structure, audience, and representation for a horror film trailer and film being created for a 12-year-old's 18th birthday. The genre draws on horror tropes but aims to appeal to a younger audience. Key narrative elements include establishing the characters and setting in the exposition, complications arising when their car breaks down in the forest, and the climax involving the main character being stalked while trying to escape. The target audience is identified as young teens around age 12 who are not often exposed to horror films. Representation techniques like lighting and camerawork will be used to convey meaning and tension.
Teaching Trailers Web Sample
The document provides guidance for evaluating different horror film blogs and setting targets for good blogging practice. It lists some horror blogs that may be interesting to review. The reviewer is asked to consider what constitutes good blogging practice, how the listed blogs could be improved, and what targets they could set themselves to achieve a good blog for a coursework assignment. The reviewer is instructed to complete the task, upload their findings with hyperlinks to the blogs reviewed, and bullet point what practices they will use. They are also to upload a meeting exercise.
Evaluation Question 1
This document discusses the genre, characters, themes, and challenges of a short teen drama film created by the author. The genre is drama, specifically teen drama/social drama. The film focuses on the lives of four high school students dealing with everyday problems. Locations include bedrooms and a high school. Editing techniques like color balancing and transitions were used to enhance the drama. Both female and male characters with different personalities were included to appeal to both genders. The film aims to target teenagers and parents but does not focus on any particular social class, race, or ethnicity. The biggest challenge was to tell the story with minimal dialogue through actions and camera work.
Charben Alilio- AS Media evaluation and research
The document provides an analysis of the opening scene of the student's romantic drama film project. It discusses the conventions used that relate to the romantic genre, such as the focus on the main protagonists and their romantic connection. It also describes the inspirations drawn from other romantic films and productions. The student reflects on how the opening scene represents particular social groups and would appeal to target audiences.
Managing A Global Account
The document discusses various aspects of branding and communication strategies for the Indian market compared to global markets. It notes that while boundaries are man-made, basic human motivations and drives are similar across cultures. However, there are also differences in areas like food, movies, and communication styles that necessitate "made-for-Indian" strategies. Successful global brands adapt their messaging to be more emotionally resonant and culturally relevant for Indian audiences by incorporating local symbols, rituals, and traditions while retaining their core proposition.

Week 5 Instructor Guidance
One of the topics we’ve been talking about throughout this course is how we can track both the personal and societal impact of film. In fact, your Week One Introduction post asked you to consider this issue and, as we progressed through the class and learned new terminology--new ways of looking at film, we were able to reconsider and develop our perspectives on this.
Both of your discussion posts this week touch on this issue, and it comes up in relation to your final written assignment as well.
While everything we’ve learned has helped us develop a critical capacity for talking about film, deepening our appreciation of the medium itself, ultimately our understanding of the (sometimes very personal) way film intersects with society is the key to unlocking another layer to the material from this course.
Students sometimes wonder about this course, asking how the material directly impacts their study of a chosen major. Students may even go a step beyond that and ask about how the material they've been studying has bearing on their anticipated career field at all!
That's why it's important to take a step back, away from the camera, away from the specifications of shots or the varying aspects of cinematography. It's time to pull our eyes away from the screen and look around at the world that surrounds us. We should be able to identify and consider the many ways film can impact society . . . as well as how society may impact film! In this way, we can start to consider how we can apply what we've learned in this class!
A recent study conducted by the University of Rochester (NY) finds that watching and discussing movies about relationships is as effective in lowering divorce rates as other, more intensive, early marriage counseling programs! Watch this video presentation.
Follow this link for more information about the study, and to download information about the films the couples watched, as well as the different questions the researchers asked the couples to reflect on after they watched specific movies.
As you reflect on your own journey in this class--how you watch movies and the kinds of impacts that films can have on people--try to think deeply about the many ways we engage with film and what it can really mean to us in our majors, in our careers, and in our lives!
Many of the movies we respond to are made for mostly for entertainment. No matter their artistic value, or how intelligent the plot may be, the main goal is to find an audience and get them to pay money to watch what unfolds onscreen. Individual members of the creative team--the director, the writer, specific actors--might have other more lofty aims, but at the root there is a basic economic principle at work.
Therefore, it would be easy to write these films off and focus more exclusively on documentaries or smaller budget movies made by guerilla filmmakers who aren't tied to the money making Hollywood scheme of things. We could focus on films that try.
Evaluation - Question 1
The document evaluates how a media product uses, develops, or challenges conventions of real media products. It notes that the product includes conventions of romantic comedies like a couple going through a phase and introducing relationship drama through a third party. However, it also develops conventions by introducing characters at the start to tell their stories in the present rather than the past. Additionally, it challenges conventions by placing credits in the middle of the opening rather than the start and not including a typical voiceover.
Interpersonal Communication.docx
This document provides instructions for a final paper assignment analyzing interpersonal communication concepts in a chosen movie. Students must demonstrate understanding of five course concepts through examples from the movie. They must also suggest how one or more characters could improve communication based on class lessons. The paper should be 5-7 pages including citations, a reference page, and conforming to APA style. It will be worth 25% of the student's final grade. Suggested movies focus on relationships and include genres like romantic comedies, dramas, and classics.

Art and Music since 1945
For this assignment, you are to see a film this semester and fill out your worksheet. Use the skills you learned for the Art Worksheet, but now you have to analyze the combination of sound and moving images.Step 1 Select a Film
Selecting a film to watch is more than picking a movie with favorite actors or a genre you like (science fiction, superheroes, detective mysteries, romance). The film you pick should have enough interesting content to write about. It helps to inform yourself with two kinds of film reviews. First, professional critics have seen many movies and write from a well-informed point of view, but theirs is just one point of view. Beyond the perspective of Professional critic, there are the reviews from moviegoers, like yourselves, who post their responses on blogs and theater websites. Viewer reviews can be just as valid as professional reviews, so long as they explain why they feel the way they do about a film. Both kinds of reviews can help you narrow your choice of a film, and in the end, pick a film you feel like writing about.
11 pts: State the title of the film you chose and a write brief synopsis of the film in your words (90 to 100 words):
Citations and References
If you decide you use ideas from the film reviews or any source, write the name of the source here AND Cite the source(s) where you use them:
REMEMBER
1. You must view the film for this worksheet personally and you must see it in a theater this semester. (Free screenings at the Union also count as a theater). Even if you choose an older film made in 1945 or later, we want you to see the film in a theater. At a theater, you sense the effects of the sound and moving images as they were intended. Films reproduced for television or on DVD on a home system lose the effect you sense in a theater.
2. Connect your review of the film with the cultural and social ideas we address in class. How do you think audiences relate the narrative on screen with other narratives in the press or entertainment media? Superheroes, for example, save the day when complicated agencies of government and military fail.
3. Look over the Film Worksheet before you attend the film, so you know what to look for in the film. Taking notes during the film is usually a problem, but you can make your notes afterward. You might be surprised at how much you will recall about the film and your experience of viewing it.

1. Introversion
Score : 11 pts.
4 - 22 pts.
Feedback: Some people thrive in teleworking arrangements, whereas others discover that it is neither a satisfying nor productive work environment for them. This scale assesses three personal dispositions that are identified in the literature as characteristics of effective teleworkers: (a) high company alignment, (b) low social needs at work and (c) independent initiative.
Company alignment
Company alignment estimates the extent to which you follow company procedures and have values congruent with company values. The greater the alignment, the more likely that you can abide by company practices while working alone and with direct supervision. While some deviation from company practices may be appropriate, teleworkers need to agree with company values and provide work that is consistent with company expectations most of the time. Scores on this scale range from 4 to 20.
Extroversion
Score: 17 pts.
4 - 22 pts.
Feedback: Low individualism
Individualism refers to the extent that you value independence and personal uniqueness. Highly individualist people value personal freedom, self-sufficiency, control over their own lives, and appreciation of their unique qualities that distinguish them from others.
However, keep in mind that the average level of individualism is higher in some cultures (such as Australia) than in others.
2. Total score: 8 pts.
RANGE BASED FEEDBACK:
6-12 pts.
Feedback: Low work centrality
People with high work centrality define themselves mainly by their work roles and view non-work roles as much less significant. Consequently, people with a high work centrality score likely have lower complexity in their self-concept. This can be a concern because if something goes wrong with their work role, their non-work roles are not of sufficient value to maintain a positive self-evaluation. At the same time, work dominates our work lives, so those with very low scores would be more of the exception than the rule in most societies. Scores range from 6 to 36 with higher scores indicating higher work centrality. The norms in the following table are based on a large sample of Canadian employees (average score was 20.7). However, work centrality norms vary from one group to the next. For example, the average score in a sample of Canadian nurses was around 17 (translated to the scale range used here).

Feedback: High need for social approval
The need for social approval scale estimates the extent to which you are motivated to seek favourable evaluation from others. Founded on the drive to bond, the need for social approval is a secondary need, because people vary in this need based on their self-concept, values, personality and possibly social norms. This scale ranges from 0 to 32. How high or low is your need for social approval? The ideal would be to compare your score with the collective results of other students in your class. Otherwi ...

1. Describe the actions you will take to increase your net cash flows in the near future.
The first step is to reduce living expenditures. It is critical to lessen the amount spent on living expenses and other variables and save for future use. I will have to prevent luxuries such as vacation costs or keep them in check to avoid spending a hefty amount on them. I should check the option to cook for myself and avoid buying food. Also, I will choose a destination I can drive myself to save on rental car expenditures and airfare. I will have a detailed budget indicating the amount required for savings, debt repayment, and investment that will assist only to spend the money on essential expenditures. Further, the savings can help to start a business and become self-employed in the distant future.
I would have to look for a job that pays well or engage in a robust salary negotiation. The right time to negotiate for salary is during a performance review, compensation meeting, or job promotion (Bellon, Cookson, Gilje, & Heimer, 2020). I will ensure that I expand my education and technic ...

Integrity of any organization regardless whether it is in healthcare or business or government is paramount. Because of integrity comes trust. Having trust in a healthcare organization is nonnegotiable. It is the foundation of a world-class organization. Executives who ignore ethics run the risk of personal and corporate liability in today’s increasingly tough legal environment (Lynn S. Paine, 1994, Managing for Organizational Integrity, pp. 2-21)
First, the healthcare organization. The healthcare organization is the head or the governing body. It is charged of day-to-day functions, establish policies, guidance, business process, safety, security and all the administrative duties. Integrity is and must be the cornerstone of any healthcare organization. Without it, no clinicians or workers that would knowingly work for an organization that they cannot trust or feel safe. And most importantly, if the patients do not have trust in the organization, they will avoid that facility at all cost.
Second, the clinicians. The clinicians are what makes the organization or facility function. Whether they are the providers, nurses or staff it is important that they have the integrity to always do what is right not only for the healthcare team or the organization, but most specially for the patient. It starts with the clinical leaders building trust to their subordinate staff by having the integrity and values of what a leader should be. Once that is established, then it permeates throughout the entire team. Thereby improving the healthcare delivery.
Lastly, and the most important is the patient. At the center of the entire system needs to be the patient. Once the patient recognizes the integrity or values of the healthcare organization and the clinicians delivering healthcare, patient trust is established. The patient satisfaction also increases. According to Cowing, Davino-Ramaya, Ramaya, Szmerekovsky, 2009, pp.72, “if patients are satisfied with clinician-patient interactions, they are likely to be more compliant with their treatment plan, to understand their role in the recovery process, and to follow through with the recommended treatment”. Having integrity or values in the healthcare delivery is the basic principle of healthcare leadership.

Case Study in-class Presentations Assignment
1): Moral Courage with a Dying Patient
Mr. T. is an 82-year-old widower who has been a patient on your unit several times over the past 5 years. His CHF, COPD, and diabetes have taken a toll on his body. He now needs oxygen 24 hours a day and still has dyspnea and tachycardia at rest. On admission, his ejection fraction is less than 20%, EKG shows a QRS interval of greater than 0.13 seconds, and his functional class is IV on NYHA assessment.
He has remained symptomatic despite maximum medical management with a vasodilator and diuretics. He tells you, "This is my last trip; I am glad I have made peace with my family and God. Nurse, I am ready to die." You ask about an advance directive and he tells you his son knows that he wants no heroics, but they just have never gotten around to filling out the form. When the son arrives, you suggest that he speak with the social worker to complete the advance directive and he agrees reluctantly. You page the physician to discuss DNR status with the son. Unfortunately, Mr. T. experiences cardiac arrest before the discussion occurs and you watch helplessly as members of the Code Blue Team perform resuscitation. Mr. T. is now on a ventilator and the son has dissolved into tears with cries of, "Do not let him die!"
2): Moral Courage to Confront Bullying
Melissa started on the unit as a new graduate 5 weeks ago. She is still in orientation and has a good relationship with her preceptor. The preceptor has been assigned consistently to Melissa for most of the last 4 weeks, but due to family emergency has not been available in the last week. Melissa has been told that she will be precepted by a different nurse for the remainder of her orientation. The new preceptor has not been welcoming, supportive, or focused on the educational goals of the orientation. In fact, this new preceptor has voiced to all who will listen her feelings about the incompetence of new BSN graduates. The crisis occurs when Melissa fails to recognize a patient's confusion as a result of an adverse medication effect.

1. I believe that the protagonist is Nel because she is the one th
1. I believe that the protagonist is Nel because she is the one that goes through different changes throughout the book. I also think she is the protagonist because most people can relate to her more. Nel was done wrong by Sula and her husband Jude Green. Sula did the one thing that a best friend should never do and, that is sleep with your best friend's husband. Even though Sula did a terrible thing Nel still cares about her best friend because she goes and visits her when she is sick even after all the pain she caused her. Nel is also deeply saddened when she visits Sulas grave. That is not the only thing that happened to Nel. Nel not only had to deal with the affair but also accepted her guilt in Chicken Little's drowning. But in the end, Nel realized she enjoyed watching him drown.
Everything changed when Sula came back to Nels life. Nel was happy before. She was happy with her family and her husband, but when Sula came back that all changed. After the affair and Sulas death, Nel was alone. Nel became a single mother and, she no longer has a good relationship with another man.
2. I believe that although the title of the story is Sula, the main protaginist of the story is Nel. Nel is kept until the end of the story and Sulay passes away and exit's the story. I think in this pivitol moment is when the author wanted to make Nel the main character. Nel contained her emotion until towards the end of the story when she has a conversation with Eva, Nel nervously comments "Who told you all these lies? Miss Peace? Who told you? Why are you telling lies on me?" I believe the author wanted us to feel the anxiousness and wonder that Nel found out that somebody finally knew about the little boy being thrown. I believe this admission of guilt to Eva brings closure to Nel. Nel was trying to hide her emotions the entire time and it wasn't after being confronted that she broke down about it and visited Sulay's grave. Nel even stated "I don't know. No." when asked whether somebody saw the boy being thrown into the river. This shows that Nel was not sure at all in the moment it happened whether somebody knew. Nel wanted to not think about what happen forever and try to mute the situation but Eva bringing it up, made Nel feel terrible about what happened which is why she ended up visting Sulay's grave. I think muting herself from knowing the little boy was thrown was still not a 'good' way to look at it, from her end. She wanted to believe a lie by just pretending it never happened. It wasn't after someone brought up the situation to her that her feelings change.
3. Although the novel is titled Sula, the real protagonist is Nel because she is the one who is transformed by the end. Sula and Nel were very great friends and were very dedicated to each other. But they were also very different. Nel was known as the more mature and "good person" while Sula is more impulsive. "Nel is the product of a family that believes deeply in social conventions, hers is a st ...

1. How do you think communication and the role of training address performance gaps or training needs as it relates to how Adults learn?
2. There are many ways – or methods – available to gather data during a need’s assessment. Each one has advantages and disadvantages. What is important is to select the appropriate method based on your business problem. The most common methods for data gathering are:
· Document reviews or Extant Data Analysis – reviewing existing material like process maps, procedure guides, previous training material, etc.,
· Needs Assessment
· Interviews
· Focus groups
· Surveys
· Questionnaires
· Direct Observations
· Testing
· Subject Matter Expert Analysis
Select one of these data gathering methods to discuss and share what you see as the advantages and disadvantages associated with using the selected method.
1. Team teaching
In team teaching, both teachers are in the room at the same time but take turns teaching the whole class. Team teaching is sometimes called “tag team teaching.” You and your co-teacher teacher are a bit like co-presenters at a conference or the Oscars. You don’t necessarily plan who takes which part of the lesson, and when one of you makes a point, the other can jump in and elaborate if needed.
Team teaching can make you feel vulnerable. It asks you to step outside of your comfort zone and allow another teacher to see how you approach a classroom full of students. However, it also gives you the opportunity to learn about and improve your teaching skills by having a partner who can provide feedback and — in some cases — mentorship.
In team teaching, as well as the five other co-teaching models below, a teacher team may be made up of two general education teachers, two special education teachers, or one of each. Or, in some cases, it may be a teacher and a paraprofessional working together. Some IEPs specify that a student’s teaching team needs to include a general education teacher and a special education teacher.
Here’s what you need to know about the team teaching method:
What it looks like in the classroom
Both teachers teach at the front of the room and move about to check in with students (as needed).
Benefits
· Provides both teachers with an active instructional role
· Introduces students to complementary teaching styles and personalities
· Allows for lessons to be presented by two different people with different teaching styles
· Models multiple ways of presenting and engaging with information
· Models for students what a successful collaborative working relationship can look like
· Provides more opportunities to pursue teachable moments that may arise
Challenges
· Takes time and trust for teachers to build a working relationship that values each teacher equally in the classroom
· Necessitates a lot of planning time and coordination of schedules
· Requires teachers to have equal involvement not just in planning, but also in grading, which means assignments need to be evaluated ...

2. The next day a representative from Bristol Myers Squibb visits your office and tells you that Plavix® (clopidogrel) decreases cardiovascular events by 8.7% compared to aspirin. That sure sounds good to you, as you have many elderly patients at risk of heart attacks and strokes and many are already on aspirin. The brochure quotes the CAPRIE study, and you decide to investigate this further. A review of the 1996 article reveals that study patients on Plavix® experienced cardiovascular events 9.78% of the time compared to 10.64% of the time with aspirin. Plavix® was approved by the FDA based on this one study. Cost of Plavix/day=$6.50. Cost of aspirin/day = $1.33
• What was the NNT?
• How much does Plavix® cost monthly?
• What meaning do these values have for this problem?
• Be sure to include your actual calculations/math

1. Find something to negotiate in your personal or professional life. Examples include: redistribution of household chores, a personal or professional purchase, a contract at work, asking for a raise, booking a vacation, hiring a contractor, etc. The deal does not have to be implemented for the purposes of this class (e.g. you can finalize the price for something you’re thinking of buying without following through on the purchase right now). The scenario you choose should be significant enough to allow you to do substantial research and detail for your paper. Submit a five page paper (minimum), double spaces, utilizing proper grammar and spelling, which summarizes the following:
1. Your Preparation – Describe the process you used and results of your preparation. You should also discuss your strategies, targets, and negotiating plan. Make sure you do your research, working on both your BATNA and the other party’s. (Consider newspapers, bookstores, libraries, the internet, and personal calls and visits as possible sources of information). This is the most important step, so being thorough is critical.
1. The Negotiating Process – Describe what happened in the negotiation itself. List he sequence of events and how you reacted/adjusted to the other party’s position. What was the negotiation style of the other party? What “tricks” did they try? How did you react? Were there any other influencing factors (e.g. cultural differences, misperceptions, emotion, etc.)?
1. The Outcome – What was the outcome and how did you feel about it? What worked well? What would you have done differently? Do you feel the result you arrived at was better than it would have been if you hadn’t taken the class? Why/Why not?
Your understanding of the appropriate preparation and process steps to take in negotiating this deal is more important than the final outcome.
Be sure to cite your sources, and include copies of necessary quotes/documentation.

1. FAMILYMy 57 year old mother died after a short illness
1. FAMILY
My 57 year old mother died after a short illness last June. She was a wonderful mother and my 66 year old father
adored her. They had been married for 38 years. He is finding it extremely difficult to cope without her. To make
matters worse, he retired just two months before she died and is at a loss to fill his days.
He is disorganized and has not established any pattern in his life. I invite him for meals and outings, but he is
detached and depressed. He doesn’t seem to be part of the world any more. I am terribly worried about him. How
long will he be like this? I am 34 and have small children. I thought being with the children would help him, but it’s
as though he doesn’t see or know them. He just sits and stares into space for much of the day. He seems locked
into his grief.
2. FAMILY
One of our 17 year old son’s best friends took his life several months ago. Our son didn’t say much at the time, but
he was very shaken. Since then he has gradually “retired” into himself. He stays in his room most of the time
listening to rock music.
He is unemployed and no longer sees his former schoolmates. We are very worried about him. How do we get him
out of himself? He has always been a quiet guy but his present behavior is beyond “quiet.” We have two other
children, girls aged 13 and 10, but our son now just ignores them.
3. FAMILY - rural
Ken is a 67 year old farmer who lives with his wife Margaret. Ken and Margaret had hoped to retire late in their 60s
and move to the west coast to be closer to their children, reluctantly selling the family property that has been
struggling financially. They have limited investment funds set aside to support their retirement and have been told
it is unlikely that they would be successful in selling their farm. Ken also suffers chronic back pain from a previous
farm injury. A neighbor has become concerned about Ken’s ability to cope with his property, and has visited Ken
and Margaret a number of times due to problems with his stock and pasture management. Margaret believes the
farm is “too much for them now,” but feels she can’t talk to Ken about this. Ken has become withdrawn and
refuses to discuss the issue. He talks about there being “no way out of this,” and that it “might as well be over.” He
sees his physician infrequently, having difficulty traveling the 60 miles to the nearby town.
4. FAMILY - rural
Jason is 34 years old and lives with his wife Jenny and their two children (8 and 3 years old). After completing a
mechanical trade apprenticeship in Boston, he has returned home with plans to build his future as a farmer. He has
become increasingly irritable and frustrated with what he believes is his failure to “get on top of things” on the
farm, and they are struggling to manage financially.
Jason is drinking heavily, mostly at home, but still drives his car into town. Jenny is angry and worried about this.
She is feeling isolated, having few friends in the area, and relying on Jas ...

Case 20 Restructuring
General Electric
The appointment of Larry Culp as the chairman and CEO of the General Electric
Company (GE) on October 1st, 2018 was a clear indication of the seriousness of the
problems that had engulfed the company. Culp, the former CEO of the highly-successful
conglomerate, Danaher Corporation, had been appointed a GE director only six months
previously and was the first outsider to lead GE—every one of GE’s previous CEOs had
been a career manager at the company. On the same day as Culp’s appointment, GE
abandoned its earning guidance for the year and announced a $23 billion accounting
charge arising from a write-down of goodwill at its troubled electrical power division.1
Culp’s predecessor, John Flannery had been CEO for a mere 14 months—a sharp
contrast to GE’s two previous CEOs: Jeff Immelt (16 years) and Jack Welch (20 years).
Flannery’s tenure at GE has coincided with of the company’s most difficult periods in its
entire 126-year history. In November 2017, amidst deteriorating financial performance,
Flannery announced a halving of GE’s quarterly dividend, the proposed sale of its
lighting and locomotive units—two of GE’s oldest businesses—and the elimination of
12,000 jobs in the power division.
In 2018, the situation worsened. In January, GE announced that it would be paying
$15 bn. to cover liabilities at insurance companies it had sold 12 years previously. In
February, GE confirmed suspicions over its dubious accounting practices by restating its
revenues and earnings for the previous two years, while also announcing the likelihood
of legal claims arising from its its subprime mortgage lending over a decade earlier.
The outcome was a precipitous fall in GE’s share price (see Figure 1) that culminated
in GE’s dismissal from the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). Until June 2018, GE
was the sole surviving member of the DJIA when it was created in 1896.
The crisis at GE presented the board with two central questions. First, should GE
be broken up? Second, if GE was to continue as a widely-diversified company, how
should it be managed?
As a diversified corporation that extended from jet engines, to oil and gas equipment,
to healthcare products, to financial services, GE was an anomaly. For three decades, con-
glomerates—diversified companies comprising unrelated or loosely related businesses—
had been deeply unfashionable. CEOs, Jack Welch and Jeff Immelt, had claimed that,
by virtue of its integrated m ...

Body Ritual among the Nacirema
H O R A C E M I N E R
University of Michigan
HE anthropologist has become so familiar with the diversity of ways iq T which different peoples behave in similar situations that he is not a p t to.
be surprised by even the most exotic customs. I n fact, if all of thelogically
possible combinations of behavior have not been found somewhere in the
world, he is a p t to suspect that they must be present in some yet undescribed
tribe. This point has, in fact, been expressed with respect to clan organization
by Murdock (1949: 7 1 ) . I n this light, the magical beliefs and practices of the
Nacirema present such unusual aspects that i t seems desirable t o describe
them a s an example of the extremes to which human behavior can go.
Professor Linton first brought the ritual of the Nacirema to the attention
of anthropologists twenty years ago (1936:326), but the culture of this people
is still very poorly understood. They are a North American group living in the
territory between the Canadian Cree, the Yaqui and Tarahumare of Mexico,
and the Carib and Arawak of the Antilles. Little is known of their origin, al-
though tradition states that they came from the east. According to Nacirema
mythology, their nation was originated by a culture hero, Notgnihsaw, who is
otherwise known for two great feats of strength-the throwing of a piece of
wampum across the river Pa-To-Mac and the chopping down of a cherry tree
in which the Spirit of Truth resided.
Nacirema culture is characterized by a highly developed market economy
which has evolved in a rich natural habitat. While much of the people’s time
is devoted to economic pursuits, a large part of the fruits of these labors and a
considerable portion of the day are spent in ritual activity. The focus of this
activity is the human body, the appearance and health of which loom a s a
dominant concern in the ethos of the people. While such a concern is certainly
not unusual, its ceremonial aspects and associated philosophy are unique.
The fundamental belief underlying the whole system appears to be that the
human body is ugly and that its natural tendency is t o debility and disease.
Incarcerated in such a body, man’s only hope is to avert these characteristics
through the use of the powerful influences of ritual and ceremony. Every house-
hold has one or more shrines devoted to this purpose. The more powerful in-
dividuals in the society have several shrines in their houses and, in fact, the
opulence of a house is often referred to in terms of the num ...

Week Two Instructor’s Notes
PHIL 1103 Summer
This week you will be learning in detail about the four different moral perspectives that
we will use to analyze moral questions.
Notice two things right at the start. First, because normative ethics is our main focus this
term, we are not going to attempt to settle the question of whether any moral perspective at all
could be correct or known to be correct—that is a task for metaethics. Our task in this second
week is to learn in some detail about four different kinds of consideration or value that often
seem relevant when we try to decide what is morally right or wrong in particular cases, namely:
(1) Respect for the rights and autonomy of the persons involved
(2) Increasing the overall well-being of the most individuals possible
(3) Asking wha ...

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

- 1. 1. After watching all the films in Week Two’s content, discuss at least 5 storytelling/narrative/plot devices or editing choices that you have seen in recent films or TV shows. How did these devices or choices help drive the story? Then link those narrative techniques to the films you watched. For example: In Walk, - You, Walk! (1912) Rose gets the help of friends to teach someone who mistreated her a lesson. This is common plot device in today’s situation comedies. 2. After watching The Gold Rush, compare the content and style with modern comedy. Focus on the physicality of the performers and the filmmaking and not on the fact that modern comedy relies upon speech. Are there physical comedians today that can compare to Chaplin? Do modern comedies have the same blend of comedy and romance? Do you feel the humor of the silent comedies holds up and why or why not? Use specific vocabulary and concepts we learned to describe what you're seeing and intended effect on the viewer.
