Renaissance(14th – 16th Century) This was a period of great cultural and social change in Europe. This period was characterized by imagination, creativity and innovation. It was also a time in when the Europe’s’ classical past was being revisited and reinvigorated. A lot of inspiration from the cultural movements of Renaissance resulted from the attempts of people to imitate and improve the legacies of classical European societies like the Greece and Ancient Greece. The Renaissance as well signified break from the conformist society as well as culture of medieval Europe. It was a time when mew and inventive ideas started to spread and gain great influence. Artwork significant to the movement (Davis 2011). · Masaccio, Trinity in the Church of Santa Maria Novella, 1426, Florence. (Italicize the titles of art works.) · Michelangelo Buonarroti, the Pietà, 1499, St. Peters Cathedral. 2. Baroque (1600 – 1750). This was a period of artistic style which employed exaggerated motion as well as clear and easily interpreted details of producing tension, drama, painting, theater, music, exuberance, architecture and grandeur in sculpture. It began in Rome, Italy and spread to the rest of Europe (Williams 2012). Artwork significant to the movement · Peter Paul Rubens, Samson and Delilah, 1609-1610, the great Flemish. · Pozzo, The Apotheosis of St Ignatius, 1694, San IgnazioRome. 3. Romanticism (18th – mid 19th century). Romanticism is an intellectual or attitude orientation which was marked with numerous works of literature, music, paintings, criticism, architecture and historiography in the western civilization. It can be perceived as a rejection of the principles of order, harmony, balance, calm, balance, rationalism and idealization that was typically classicism and neoclassicism. Romanticism majorly focused on individual, irrational, subjective, personal imaginative, spontaneous, transcendental and visionary (Brookner 2000). Romanticism was characterized by a deep appreciation of the nature’s beauty, exaltation of emotions over sense of intellect and reason, a new perception of the artist as a supreme creator with creative spirits. Artworks significant to the movement · Caspar David Friedrich, Two men Contemplating the Moon, 1830, Alte National galerie, Berlin. · John William waterhouse, The Lady of Shalott, 1888, Tate Collection, London. 4. Impressionism(1874) This is an artistic movement in 19th century which swept away the many of the sculpture styles and paintings of the period.

Competency Develop examples of ethical and privacy concerns associated with data supporting business intelligence efforts. Instructions You work for a tourism board at a top destination within the United States that among other tasks, sends information out to potential visitors, performs direct mailing campaigns, solicits newsletter sign ups, and helps drive economic growth by attracting visitors to the destination. The direct mailing team for your organization accomplishes this through email blasts, mailing flyers, and texting campaigns. The address list the organization has in place is seen as a strategic advantage, as it has extensive information about potential and repeat visitors, and has been compiled from various sources over the years. The organization has recently developed a mobile application and hopes to leverage mobile devices and tablets to help make obtaining information easier for the visitors, as well as collecting more information on patterns of consumer behavior. Since the mobile application will have access to a great deal of personal information belonging to the users (email address, GPS data, phone number, etc.), it has been suggested this information be automatically uploaded to the direct mailing database, and signing them up for various promotional efforts and communications. It had also been suggested there may be an opportunity for the marketing department to partner with the local theme parks and attractions within the area, sharing the databases from each to form one large database to reach more users. The idea has been presented to the organization's legal counsel for review, as the IT team is fairly certain the end user agreement for the mobile application states the collected information can be reused and sold as needed. The public relations team has taken a different position and feels there is potential for backlash in social media as well as other public outcries should the data be sold to or shared with other organizations, and questions whether the data should even be stored since there are additional pieces of data being collected that have no purposeful use for the tourism board. They have asked for your input on the matter. The questions they are presenting you with include: What are the general practices surrounding data collection? How can privacy violations occur? Are there any risks, issues, or problems associated with collecting and storing data that isn’t needed now, in the event it may be needed in the future? What information do other organizations collect? The end user agreement says we CAN collect, reuse, and sell data as needed, but does that mean we should? Is there a level of ethical data collection and storage that we should be considering? The task: In addition to the presentation, prepare a memo to the head of the public relations department outlining any possible risks associated with collecting and using the data in the manner described. Your report should include general.

Competency Assess the development of societal standards in relation to social media and how this can alter social norms in everyday life. Instructions The prevalence of social media has had a huge impact on society in the area of how we tend to relate to each other and on what is considered to be normal in general. Taking a look at the ways in which social media changes attitudes and "norms" makes for an interesting study, and one that is applicable to understanding how society is slowly changing over time. For this assignment, you will first conduct your own research on the effects of social media on societal norms (Part 1), then you will examine what has been found through previous research conducted by others (Part 2). Part 1: Compare and contrast the attitudes of two cohorts of people; one that consists of five people that rarely use social media and one cohort of five people that uses social media 2 or more hours a day. Create a list of five people that you know that use social media at least 2 or more hours per day. This group of people will make up your first cohort. Then create a list of five people that you know that either do not use social media or use it very rarely. Take into account age when creating the cohorts, and try to keep the ages as similar as possible between the cohorts. Keeping a certain level of consistency in the two cohorts will help to negate the potential effects of generational differences. Provide a brief description of each of the ten people you are going to interview divided into their respective cohorts. In other words, list the five people in the social media at least 2 or more hours a day, and provide a brief description of each along with why you chose them. Then provide a list of the five people that rarely or never use social media, and provide a brief description of each along with why you chose them. Interview the participants to learn the similarities and differences between the two cohorts as it relates to attitudes, lifestyles, and relationships. Write a two-page paper comparing and contrasting what you learned about the two cohorts. Be sure to relate your findings to cultivation theory and socialization theory in the paper. Part 2: Now you will compare your research with research findings through previous research conducted by others. Look up at least 3 articles in the Rasmussen Library that relate to the topic of social media and its impact on society. You are not limited to articles that are strictly written on the specific topic of social media and norms. Articles that are covering social media and society are available from a wide number of angles. After studying these articles, write a two-page paper on what you learned on the topic of social media and its potential impact on societal attitudes, customs, and norms. .
