write a 750-1200-word paper (3-5 pages) that offers specific comparisons between your examples and some analysis using terminology and methods from the course materials in the field of your examples.
Course Project Stage 2: Making Connections
As we learned in week 5, the purpose of this two-stage project is for you to compare cultural productions in the Humanities from three different cultures using terminology and interpretative processes from a specific humanities field.
In Stage 1 you:
· identified three specific examples in one humanities field from three different cultures
· found at least one aspect these examples have in common
· identified at least one learning resource from the class to help you compare and analyze your examples
Stage 2 builds on the information your gathered in Stage 1 by:
· Explaining the historical and cultural contexts of your examples
· Explaining what your examples have in common and what is different by pointing to specifics in your examples
· Applying the terminology or interpretative methods from the learning resources in your analysis of your examples
For this stage, you will write a 750-1200-word paper (3-5 pages) that offers specific comparisons between your examples and some analysis using terminology and methods from the course materials in the field of your examples. Please try to keep your paper to about 1200 words or less and consult with your instructor for what to do if you think you will exceed this.
Instructions for Stage 2
Write a 750-1000 page paper that includes the following:
1. An introductory paragraph that identifies the Humanities field you chose your examples from and explains why this field was of interest to you. Try to avoid telling the reader what you intend to do in your paper and see if you can preview your conclusion.
2. Descriptions of each of your examples that include the following information, as appropriate.
3. The example’s title and its author, creator, or artist’s full name.
4. Some historical and cultural contexts for the example. This might include information about its creator, historical events from the time, and/or some contextual information about the culture.
5. An explanation of what your three examples have in common and how they are different based on a detailed analysis of the examples to show how you came to this conclusion. In your analysis, you should:
1. Use at least one of the resources in the classroom that is directly related to the Humanities field your paper focuses on. For instance, if you are comparing three poems, ensure that your resource(s) from the classroom is about analyzing literature.
2. Rely on at least two of the terms or interpretative methods from the classroom resource(s) in your analysis of the examples. For example, if you are looking at three poems, you could use metaphor and rhyme scheme.
3. Underline or bold the terms or methods of interpretation from the class you use in your paper.
4. Explain the terms or methods before or as you use them.
5. Provide specifics from your examples that you are analyzing using the terms or methods. For instance, if you are looking at three poems, you should quote the lines you analyze (not the whole poem). If you are looking at three paintings, you should describe what you are analyzing, or you could even use images overlaid with arrows to help illustrate your points.
6. A concluding paragraph that offers some summative concluding remarks about what you learned about all three of the cultures your examples were from through comparing and contrasting your three examples. Did you learn that all three of these cultures express similar sentiments about parenting, for example? Did you learn that the attitude towards colonization was different in Spain, Africa and South America? Think about how your examples informed you about the similarities and the differences between humans from the cultures you covered.

1. Compare and contrast two alternatives for the county’s solid waste disposal (for example landfill versus incineration). Examples of factors to consider in your analysis may include environmental impacts, human health impacts, resource conservation or recovery, occupational hazards for operators and sustainability.
2. Select the best method for solid waste disposal in this scenario setting and explain your rationale.
Assignment Expectations
Use information from your module readings/articles as well as appropriate research to support your paper.
Length: The Case Assignment should be 3-5 pages long (double-spaced).
Part 2
In this SLP, you will be a health and safety manager in a company that has a manufacturing facility with multiple occupational hazards. This setting could be a place where you currently work, one that you may be familiar with, or one that you just find interesting.
In your walkthroughs through the facility, you notice that many employees have hearing aids. You also notice that it is hard for people to hear each other because of constantly pounding presses and constantly running conveyor belts. Heavy equipment, cranes, and forklifts are constantly operating in the factory as well. Another concern to address is back injuries in this facility. Many are losing work days due to back injury. Although they routinely perform tasks involving heavy physical labor, during the construction period, you decide to do a study to address noise exposure and back-related ergonomics in this facility:
1. Design a plan to evaluate the noise levels to which workers are exposed in this facility.
2. Examine the situation to decide if a hearing protection program should be implemented and explain the elements that need to be determined to make a determination.
3. Design a plan to reduce the exposure of workers to noise produced by equipment in this facility, particularly the presses and conveyor belts.
4. How would you go about assessing the workplace for ergonomics for musculoskeletal disorders, specifically back related disorders?
5. Design a program to reduce these back injuries in your workers.
SLP Assignment Expectations
Use information from your module readings/articles as well as appropriate research to support your paper.
Length: The SLP assignment should be 3-5 pages long (double-spaced).

What is the average amount of time a person can expect to spend in line?
1. The Bijou Theater shows vintage movies. Customers arrive at the theater line at the rate of 100 per hour. The ticket seller averages 30 seconds per customer, which includes placing validation stamps on customers’ parking lot receipts and punching their frequent watcher cards. (Because of these added services, many customers don’t get in until after the feature has started.)
A. is the average customer time in the system?
B. What would be the effect on customer time in the system of having a second ticket taker doing nothing but validations and card punching, thereby cutting the average service time to 20 seconds?
C. Would system waiting time be less than you found in (b) if a second window was opened with each server doing all three tasks?
2. To support National Heart Week, the Heart Association plans to install a free blood pressure testing booth in El Con Mall for the week. Previous experience indicates that, on average, 10 persons per hour request a test. Assume arrivals are Poisson distributed from an infinite population. Blood pressure measurements can be made at a constant time of five minutes each. Assume the queue length can be infinite with FCFS discipline.
A. What average number in line can be expected?
B. What average number of persons can be expected to be in the system?
C. What is the average amount of time a person can expect to spend in line?
D. On average, how much time will it take to measure a person’s blood pressure, including waiting time?
E. On weekends, the arrival rate can be expected to increase to over 12 per hour. What effect will this have on the number in the waiting line?
3. An engineering firm retains a technical specialist to assist four design engineers working on a project. The help that the specialist gives engineers ranges widely in time consumption. The specialist has some answers available in memory, others require computation, and still others require significant search time. On average, each request for assistance takes the specialist one hour.
The engineers require help from the specialist on the average of once each day. Because each assistance takes about an hour, each engineer can work for seven hours, on average, without assistance. One further point: Engineers needing help do not interrupt if the specialist is already involved with another problem. Treat this as a finite queuing problem and answer the following questions:
A. How many engineers, on average, are waiting for the technical specialist for help?
B. What is the average time an engineer has to wait for the specialist?
C. What is the probability an engineer will have to wait in line for the specialist?
Has Nike created and implemented an effective approach to social responsibility?
Carefully read each question. All questions should be answered with the minimum of two paragraphs (5-7 sentences). Students should analyze each question using the terminology, principles, or theories from the chapter. Points will be deducted for incorrect grammar, punctuation, and if the question is answered with less than two paragraphs. Points will also be deducted if the question is not answered in its entirety.
Remember, plagiarism is not accepted. If additional sources are used to answer the questions, the sources should be cited using APA format.
CASE STUDY DIRECTIONS: In your book, read the case entitled, “Marc Kasky versus Nike” on pages 183-193. Answer questions 1-5. Be sure to answer the questions in its entirety to receive full credit. Also follow the homework format guidelines.
