What would you do in this dilemma? A bank teller gives you $5 too much money in your cash withdrawal. Do you return the $5? Why? Why not? What if you are given $100 too much cash? There are also ethical considerations for speakers and listeners in public speaking situations
We each face ethical decisions every day. Some decisions are made without much thought. Some decisions have greater consequences than others. 1) What would you do in this dilemma? A bank teller gives you $5 too much money in your cash withdrawal. Do you return the $5? Why? Why not? What if you are given $100 too much cash? There are also ethical considerations for speakers and listeners in public speaking situations.2) While researching for your persuasive speech, you find a quotation from an article by a highly respected expert that will nail down one of your main points. But as you read the rest of the article, you realize that the author does not support the policy you are advocating. Do you still include the quotation in your speech? Why or why not? 3) Take the listening self evaluation, What was your score? Then, view Julian Treasure’s speech, 5 ways to listen better Try one or two of the exercises and share your experience.

What is your identity category in the relevant time period (e.g., what did nationality mean to Europeans in 1899?)?
Write an Essay What the source and identity category are. Very literally, what is the sourcea diary entry, a political cartoon, a news report? What is your identity category in the relevant time period (e.g., what did nationality mean to Europeans in 1899?)? The historical background of the source. What was happening where and when the source was produced that may have influenced the person or people who produced it? The perspective (or bias) of the source. Who created it, when, and why? What point of view does the source promote? Did the creator(s) of the source have a personal, economic, or political stake in how the source was received? Does the source promote blatantly inaccurate information? If so, why? What the source tells us about identity within the historical context in which it was created. Thinking about your identity category, what, if anything, does the source say explicitly? (Meaning, what does the source just come out and say?) What does the source say implicitly? (Meaning, what does the creator leave unsaid, perhaps because it is common knowledge, because it is taboo, etc.?) Your assessment of the sources usefulness. How helpful is this source to understanding the identity category connected to it? What limitations could exist when using this source to understand the past?

Pop art is basically a type of art movement which started the late 1950s in the United States and the United Kingdom. How do you think that Pop Art challenge conventional ideas about originality
I just want 1 comment for each5.In todays society, I personally consider those pictures as Pop Art. According to (Lazzari, 2011), Pop art is basically a type of art movement which started the late 1950s in the United States and the United Kingdom. This type of art entails an introduction of imagery to find and traditional art. These images are usually bold and they represent physical things that we usually see in our daily lives including soup cans, celebrities, types of food like hotdogs, animals, comic strips, and other things including consumer product seals and labels, as well as brightly painted colors among others. Pop art has always been seen as a type of art which copies what others have done or what is already existing. Three major characteristics of pop art include satire, humor, and irony, bright colors, and recognizable imagery.2. How do you think that Pop Art challenge conventional ideas about originality?I think Pop art challenged conventional ideas about originality because it was all about copying something that is already existing and making it better. For instance, Andy Warhol, in the year 1962 produced a detailed and fine art from an image of a woman called Marilyn Diptych. Here, Andy Warhol did not think of an image and pointed it, instead, he manipulated or rather edited the image of Marilyn Diptych and came up with fourteen different images of her. This is considered Pop art. This is because the artwork passed across a meaning as opposed to when it is just a picture. Therefore, Pop art challenged the idea of originality, in that, the artists did not think of something that original but rather took something that already existed and changed it. The new artwork would, therefore, pass across a message.3. Is it original if it’s taken from already existing imagery?There is no black and white answer to this question. However, personally, I would say yes provided the new artwork is not exactly the same as the original imagery. I believe that most pop objects represents an obvious appropriation of the artist’s work. Nevertheless, this appropriation may occur without infringement if the copying is done from the model used by the artist, the original product, instead of from the art itself (Sneirson, 1968). Legally speaking, while copyright was designed to promote the arts through the granting of exclusive rights, new art forms may lack this protection because the developed rules have failed to consider the possible ramifications of future artistic developments. Pop art presents perhaps the most blatant example of this problem (Sneirson, 1968). Because of this, I, therefore, believe that even if the artwork was taken from an already existing imagery, it is still an original.4. Provide an example that YOU would consider Pop Art, from the textbook.The best example that I consider Pop art from the textbook it the painting by Judith Leysters Boy Playing the Flute painted between the years of 1630 and 1635 in the Netherlands. The Judith captures the pride and the enthusiasm of the young musician as he glances at his audience, likely looking for their approval (Lazzari, 2011).Judith Leyster, Boy Playing the Flute, 1630-1635, Netherlands5. In today’s world, what kinds of images would be considered POP ART?I believe Graffiti images would be considered Pop art in todays world. This is because most of the Graffiti images always involve copying what it already exists and use it to pass across a message. Graffiti images are also used in comic books which are still considered Pop art. Graffiti is not only painted on the streets but are also used in adverts. Consider the following four examples of graffiti images which represent Pop art of today:ReferencesLazzari, M., & Schlesier, D. (2011). Exploring art: A global, thematic approach. CengageLearning. Chapter 12.Sneirson, W. B. (1968). Some Copyright Aspects of New Art: Pop Goes the Easel.
