For this assignment, you are to research the environment surrounding the company of your choice, both at the macro- as well at the micro-level. For the external environment, the following two analyses should be performed: an industry-level analysis (Porter’s Five Forces), and a macro-level external environment analysis, such as the PESTEL (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, and Legal) analysis. Together, the data collected from these two analyses will help to determine how prepared the company is to face the main challenges of doing business in a globalized marketplace and staying competitive. Use instruments from your readings, class discussions, and specific evidence from scholarly sources to support your outcomes. Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Explain how the film’s cinematography in the sequence(s) helps create meaning, mood, and/or gives us information.
AT LEAST 200 WORDS In Chapter 6 you learned about the properties of the shot and how the camera is used meaningfully in film storytelling. For a narrative film, the cinematography typically goes far beyond objectively capturing images in a random or offhand manner. There are many choices that the director of photography must make and that the camera operator(s) and other crew must execute in order to realize the director’s vision for the film. In this assignment, you’ll be looking at the film’s cinematography–the capturing of its images. Later in the semester, you’ll be looking at the use of sound in Once Upon a Time in the West. A) Using proper terminology and examples, describe some aspects of the cinematography in one or both of the following opening sequence(s) of the Spaghetti Western Once Upon a Time in the West (C’era una volta il West) (Sergio Leone, 1968). (This was an Italian-American [Paramount] co-production so features both Italian and American actors. Much of the crew, including the director, Sergio Leone, were Italian.The director of photography was Tonino Delli Colli.) B) Explain how the film’s cinematography in the sequence(s) helps create meaning, mood, and/or gives us information.
Evaluate the three given expressions using the a, b, and c from your birth date.
Write your birth date or the birth date of someone in your family as mm/dd/yy. (Example: March 13, 1981 is written 3/13/81, and November 7, 1967 is written 11/7/67). Now let a = the one- or two-digit month number, b = the negative of the one- or two-digit day number, and c = the two-digit year number.(Our example: a = 3, b = -13, and c = 81 or a = 11, b = -7, and c = 67) Use the following algebraic expressions for parts 3-5 of the discussion: Evaluate the three given expressions using the a, b, and c from your birth date. Make sure that b is negative when you plug in the values. After you have your math worked out on scratch paper, go back and verbally describe the steps you took to evaluate the expressions. Make sure to use each of the vocabulary words at least once in your writing. Did you notice anything interesting about the results of and ? Was this coincidence or do you think there is a reason for this? Incorporate the following five math vocabulary words into your discussion. Use bold font to emphasize the words in your writing (Do not write definitions for the words; use them appropriately in sentences describing your math work.): Exponent Integer Variable Lowest terms Divisor Your initial post should be 150-250 words in length. Respond to at least two of your classmates posts by Day 7. Do you agree with how your classmates used the vocabulary? Did the student handle the negatives in the formulas accurately?
Post a description of an early childhood memory when you realized boys and girls were different.
Consider the following statement made by a first-grade boy: “I don’t want to use the pink crayon. Pink is for girls.” This quote represents a young boy expressing his desire to meet gender expectations. Although he may not be aware of why he feels this way or how he came to have this opinion, his statement reflects gender socialization, i.e., that he has learned from his environment how to “act like a boy.” How did this happen? Humans are born with a biological sex. Sex refers to the genes, chromosomes, and physical sex characteristics such as sex organs that make a person male or female. It is possible to be intersex, born with genitals or chromosomes that are ambiguous or characteristic of both sexes; however, generally sex is fixed along the male/female binary and is stable. Gender, on the other hand, is a social, rather than a biological category. It refers to the traits and behaviors (e.g., hairstyle, clothing, communication styles) that a culture deems appropriate for men and women. Most males identify with the male gender and most females with the feminine gender, but because gender is socially constructed, it is possible to have a gender identity that does not conform to cultural expectations, or to have a fluid identity. For this Discussion, you will reflect on your own early experiences of gender awareness and gender socialization within your culture. By Day 4 Post a description of an early childhood memory when you realized boys and girls were different. Next, describe a time during your childhood when you experienced expectations of gender-appropriate behavior (in other words, how to “act like a boy” or “act like a girl”). What impact did these events have on your thinking, feelings, or behavior at the time? Explain any insights you had after examining the situation.
