The Aeneid and The Divine Comedy The labyrinth of initiation, the underworld, and the sacred grove Publius Vergilius Maro 70 – 21 BCE Virgil was regarded by the Romans as their greatest poet. His influence on Dante and Western literature, like that of Ovid, is profound. The Aeneid is his most famous work and became Rome’s national epic. The son of a farmer in northern Italy, Virgil came to be regarded as one of Rome's greatest poets. Virgil devoted his life life to poetry and to studies connected with it. He never married, and the first half of his life was that of a scholar and near recluse. But, as his poetry won him fame, he gradually won the friendship of many important men in the Roman world. (adapted from Encyclopedia Britannica and poetry foundation.org) Dante Alighieri 1265 – 1321 CE Dante Alighieri was born in Florence, Italy to a notable family of modest means. His mother died when he was seven years old, and his father remarried, having two more children. Dante was never married to his “Beatrice.” They met twice, at a nine year interval (although it might be a symbolic time period). They were both married to other people, and she died at 25. But he continued to write about throughout his life. We consider his love for her to be a type of “courtly love.” It is otherworldly and has a spiritual aspect. His most famous work is the Divine Comedy. The story begins when he finds himself lost in a woods in middle age. Virgil finds him and leads him through hell and purgatory. Beatrice is his guide in Paradise. (adapted from poets.) Dante is very important to western literature. T. S. Eliot claimed: Dante and Shakespeare divide the world between them, there is no third. And Virgil is very important to Dante. Dante, addressing Virgil in Canto 1 of the Divine Comedy: Thou art my master. We will start with The Aeneid. Who is Aeneas? There are multiple myths about the founding of Rome. One very important one is told in The Aeneas, the story of a Trojan prince who brought together the survivors from Troy. They boarded ships and sailed in search of a new home. The Aeneid tells their story, focused of course on their leader. As The Aeneid opens, Aeneas and the Trojans come to Carthage, where he falls in love with the Queen Dido. His bliss is short lived, as he is told by the gods that he must leave her. Our reading, Book 6, comes half way through the story. Aeneas’s father has died along the way, and Aeneas wants to see him. To do that, he must descend into the underworld—and come back. Very few have ever made the round trip journey. He is guided by the priestess of Apollo. The Temple of Apollo built by Daedalus. Book 6 of The Aeneid gives an elaborate description of how Daedalus had depicted the story of Theseus, the minotaur, Ariadne, and his escape from Crete on the doors. Aeneas must go through these doors, get advice from the Sybil, enter the wood sa.

The Advantages of Budgeting A budget is a document that forecasts the financial results and financial position of a business for one or more future periods. At a minimum, a budget contains an estimated income statement that describes anticipated financial results. A more complex budget also contains an estimated balance sheet, which contains the entity’s anticipated assets, liabilities, and equity positions at various points in time in the future. A prime use of the budget is to serve as a performance baseline for the measurement of actual results. Budgets may also be linked to bonus plans in order to direct the activities of various company employees. A budget may also be used for both tax planning and treasury planning. Despite these valid uses, there are also a number of problems with budgeting that have given rise to a movement dedicated to the elimination of budgets. Budgeting has been with us a long time, and is used by nearly every large company. They would not do so if there were not some perceived advantages to budgeting. These advantages include: ▪ Planning orientation. The process of creating a budget takes management away from its short-term, day-to-day management of a business and forces it to think longer-term. This is the chief goal of budgeting, even if management does not succeed in meeting its goals as outlined in the budget – at least it is thinking about the company’s competitive and financial position and how to improve it. ▪ Model scenarios. If a company is faced with a number of possible paths down which it can travel, you can create a set of budgets, each based on different scenarios, to estimate the financial results of each strategic direction. ▪ Profitability review. It is easy to lose sight of where a company is making most of its money, during the scramble of day-to-day management. A properly structured budget points out which aspects of a business generate cash and which ones use it, which forces management to consider whether it should drop some parts of the business or expand in others. However, this advantage only applies to a budget sufficiently detailed to describe profits at the product, product line, or business unit level. ▪ Assumptions review. The budgeting process forces management to think about why the company is in business, as well as its key assumptions about its business environment. A periodic re-evaluation of these issues may result in altered assumptions, which may in turn alter the way in which management decides to operate the business. ▪ Performance evaluations. Senior management can tie bonuses or other incentives to how employees perform in comparison to the budget. The accounting department then creates budget versus actual reports to give employees feedback regarding how they are progressing toward their goals. This approach is most common with financial goals, though operational goals (such as reducing the scrap rat.

The ability to locate and utilize information relative to Health and Human Services is an important component of many health and human service jobs. Some of the areas included in HHS programs are: Legal/illegal immigration Poverty Violence in the Media Unemployment Alcoholism Gambling Sexual Harassment Criminal Justice Hunger / Homelessness Mental Illness Health As an example, the area of “poverty” was selected from the above list to locate information and relevant reports. To accomplish this, the following was entered into a search engine (such as Google or MSN): “Health and human services and programs dealing with poverty.” One of the 1, 490,000 “hits” was titled: “Poverty Guidelines, Research and Measurement.” Upon searching this website, an elaborate set of focus subtitles was found. Under the heading “Poverty Research Centers” six more references were discovered. As the interest was focused on discovering what information was available, the search centered on “The National Poverty Center.” An examination on this site under that heading yielded numerous areas regarding new research opportunities, informing the policy community, and training for young researchers. Your specific assignment follows. Start with an exploration of what can be found in several of the areas listed above. Then, identify one area and prepare a descriptive post outlining the information in this site. You may want to experiment with various areas in order to understand the unusually large number of resources / programs, but also the kinds of information. .

The Aboriginals of Australia Art Davidson My fascination with the Aborigines of Australia began when I was a child growing up in a small town in Colorado. I can still remember some of the images that called to me from the pages of an old National Geographic Magazine- a group of naked children playing by a stream, a solitary Aborigine walking across the desert, the eyes of an old man mysterious and calm in his dark face. These people seemed closer to nature that I, free and untroubled. Years later, after moving to Alaska, I came across a sobering account of the Australian Aborigines. Written by an Aboriginal man named J.T. Patton, the article burst my childhood fantasies about a simple, carefree life. “Our self-respect has been taken away from us, and we have been driven towards extermination,” wrote Patton in an early issue of the Abo Call, the first Aboriginal newspaper, which he founded in 1938. “We have been called a ‘dying race’ but we do not intend to die. We intend to live, and to take our place in the Australian community as citizens with full equality. The white community must be made to realize that we are human beings, the same as themselves. We do not wish to go back to the Stone Age. We don’t want charity from the white people, we want justice. We intend to work steadily for this aim, no matter how many years it may take.” J.T. Patton, I learned, was founding father of the Aboriginal rights movement. Like Ghandi in India and Martin Luther King, Jr., in the United States, he had been arrested many times for encouraging his people to stand up for their rights. For most of my life, I’ve lived about as far from Australia as anyone could, but in December 1991 a chance encounter brought Patton’s world much closer to me. At a gathering of grass-roots leaders in Paris, someone introduced me to an Aboriginal woman named Pauline Gordon. She was J.T. Patton’s daughter. “I’m just an ordinary person who goes around talking to people,” she said. “I pop up here and I pop up there. I’m a member of the Bunjalung tribe on the coast of New South Wales. That’s where I come from. My mother’s totem is the possum, my father’s was the goanna lizard. My husband is the dingo. He says I talk too much.” And Pauline is quite a talker. When we sat down to visit over lunch, she held forth in her warm voice a lively accent on everything from Aborigine Dreamtime to her own grandchildren. Her brother Cecil, she told me, helps run the Aboriginal Legal Services in Sydney. Her sons, Kenny and Shane, play the digeridoo (a musical instrument made from a hollow tree limb that makes a haunting sound) and they are going through their tribe’s tradition of initiation and manhood. I began to sense that, in one way or another, Pauline’s who family was carrying on the work begun by J.T. Patton sixty years before. Our lunch lasted seven and a half hours, a record for me. And by the time we said good bye, Pauline was insisting that I come down to Australia to visit her .

The 6-D model of national culture Geert Hofstede, assisted by others, came up with six basic issues that society needs to come to term with in order to organize itself. These are called dimensions of culture. Each of them has been expressed on a scale that runs roughly from 0 to 100. Dimension maps of the world: Individualism Each dimension has been derived by comparing many, but not all, countries in the world. The findings can be summarized into six world maps of the distribution of that dimension. Of course, in reality there can be quite a bit of within-country variation; these maps should be seen as rough 'climate maps' of culture. The last two dimensions The last two dimensions were found later, and in different studies, than the first four. This is why different countries appear on the world maps. These maps are taken from the 2007 book "Why we are different and similar" by Michael Minkov. In our 2010 book they are re-scaled to a 0-100 format. Remember, the numbers do not really 'mean' anything. They are just there for convenience. Dimension maps: Long-term Orientation Culture-Based Negotiation Styles In an anonymous article, a Japanese writer describes United States negotiators as hard to understand. One of the reasons for this, we are told, is because "unlike Japanese, the Americans are not racially or culturally homogenous."[1] While it is difficult to characterize any national or cultural approach to negotiation, generalizations are frequently drawn. These generalizations are helpful to the extent that the reader remembers that they are only guides, not recipes. Any generalization holds true or not depending on many contextual factors including time, setting, situation, stakes, history between the parties, nature of the issue, individual preferences, interpersonal dynamics and mood. Any generalization will apply to some members of a group some of the time. This is best seen by considering generalizations about groups to which you belong. If you hear that women or men tend to negotiate in this way, or Americans in another way, what effect does it have on you as a member of these groups? If you want to answer, "Actually, it depends," you are among the majority, for most of us resist easy categorization and broad classifications. At the same time, it can be useful to back up and attempt to see ourselves and others from a distance so that the patterns and habits that define what is "normal" in negotiation can be examined for what they are: culturally bound and culturally defined common sense. In this essay, some generalizations about cultural and national approaches to negotiation will be outlined. These may help negotiators and mediators prepare for negotiations by raising the kinds of differences that occur across cultures, and pointing out possible pitfalls of lack of attention to cultural factors. They should be taken as a series of starting points rather than defini.

The Accidental Statesman: General Petraeus and the City of Mosul, Iraq  In late April 2003, Major General David Petraeus and the US Army's 101st Airborne Division entered the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, capital of Nineveh Province. It was less than a month since the start of the US invasion of Iraq. But US troops had already captured Baghdad, dictator Saddam Hussein had fled and, while security was still an overriding concern, the US military was no longer in full battle mode. In Mosul, Petraeus quickly found himself confronting the question: What next? The city of 1.7 million was a shambles as much from looting as from war. US Marines had just killed 17 Iraqis during a riot. The streets were in chaos, with police and other security forces nowhere to be seen. The city had no electricity, running water or garbage removal. Shops were closed. Most public buildings and factories lay in ruins. There was no administrative or economic infrastructure; ministries in Baghdad which under Saddam had controlled all economic activity were now inoperative. Those who had led the old Iraq had vanished: political leaders, judges, university faculty, teachers, factory managers, ministry directors. The most senior of them were anyway suspect as members of the reviled former ruling Baath, Party. Addressing these deficiencies was hardly standard military business. But there was no one else to do it. As Petraeus saw it, his task was to provide the building blocks for a new Iraqi society. How, the general wondered, could he and his "Screaming Eagles" --as the division had been known since World War II--reestablish conditions for normal daily life and help create the norms of a democratic society? Whom could he trust? What was most urgent? What message should he give his troops? What was the trade-offs between security and building bridges to the local population? Petraeus found himself arbitrating a dizzying array of questions: How could he involve Iraqis in the rebuilding? Should there be elections? If so, who should stand? Could some Baath Party officials retain their jobs? If so, which ones? How and who should pay the thousands of unemployed civil servants? What about controlling inflation? Should border crossings reopen for trade? How could he re-start the university, open banks, and foster the creation of new businesses? What about the media? Underlying these operational dilemmas lay a deeper uncertainty: could Petraeus establish himself as a leader whose decisions were not only appropriate--but whose style would command the respect of a society not his own? Run-up to Mosul When the 101st Airborne first crossed into Iraq from Kuwait on Friday, March 21, 2003, Petraeus had not known that the division would be sent to Mosul. In fact, the entire short war, like its lead-up, had been one of continual adaptation to changing circumstances. Petraeus had gotten word only on February 6 that the division, based at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, would deploy to Kuw.

The Academic Discourse Community Rolf Norgaard The following is excerpted from various sections of Composing Knowledge: Readings for College Writers Imagine that you enter a parlor. You come late. When you arrive, others have long preceded you, and they are engaged in a heated discussion, a discussion too heated for them to pause and tell you exactly what it is about. In fact, the discussion had already begun long before any of them got there, so no one present is qualified to retrace all the steps that had gone before. You listen for a while, until you decide that you have caught the tenor of the argument; then you put in your oar. Someone answers; you answer him; another comes to your defense;; another aligns himself against you.…However, the discussion is interminable. The hour grows later, you must depart. And you do depart, with the discussion still vigorously in progress. Kenneth Burke, The Philosophy of Literary Form Entering the Conversation When you enter the university, or enter advanced course work in your major, you are entering the sort of parlor that Kenneth Burke describes. While the conversation can certainly be engaging, and the ideas stimulating, the experience of entering a new setting can be quite unsettling. Who are these folks who are deep in conversation, and what are they getting so worked up about? On what basis are they taking sides? What does it take to join the conversation and become one of “them”? And what are the “moves” involved in having a voice in the conversation and in having that voice heard? We would do well to think of the university as a kind of Burkean parlor or rather a set of overlapping parlors, for no one parlor could ever be sufficient to capture all of the conversations that go on in various disciplines or on campus. Although we may think of a college or university as a collection of buildings, or our own education as a list of courses completed or of expertise gained, the conversational metaphor is actually quite apt. The university is a house of argument. The university represents an ongoing conversation about questions that are genuinely at issue. An essential part of your college education is not just learning facts but also learning how to make sense of and join that conversation—a conversation that is not limited to classrooms but also extends to larger civic spaces. To enter and take an active role in Burke’s parlor, or in the conversations on your campus and in your disciplines, you’ll need to figure out the implicit, unstated rules for how people go about talking and arguing. In college, as in the professional world, much of this conversation occurs in and through written texts. Although there are surely general patterns or guidelines to academic conversations, you’ll need to alert yourself to the subtle but telling differences between how conversation partners handle themselves in different conte.
