How does this cultural product contain or promote specific values?

The analysis is an essential skill needed for success in college and in life. An analysis involves first breaking down the information presented in a work into individual pieces and then examining the pieces to better understand the whole.

Almost anything can be analyzed. This assignment asks you to analyze a cultural product, which must be approved by your teacher. A cultural product may include images, videos, advertisements, written and oral texts, and much more.

Cultural product(s) include:

• Literature— a short story, novel, poem or play
• Music— a song, album, video or performer
• Cinema or Television— a character in a movie or TV series
• Advertising— a specific ad or an ad campaign—print, internet, or television.
• Social media— a blog, Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter site
• Print media— a specific magazine
• Fashion— a specific article of clothing or fashion within a specific era
• Toys— a specific toy or a category of toys (Barbie, Rag Dolls, G.I. Figures, Appliances, etc.)
• Visual Art: photography, painting, sculpture.
• Technology—a specific gadget or company

As you analyze, consider the following questions:

• How does this cultural product contain or promote specific values?
• How is it representative of wider social assumptions that are reproduced and circulated and/or published, including the scope and method of circulation?
• How is the product experienced or interpreted?
• How does it contribute to and actively shape cultural ideals and expectations?
• How does it support or revise conventional ideas, practices, or expectations?
• How does it utilize symbolism to create meaning?
• How does it participate in influencing the formation of personal or group identity?
• What is its role in society?
• What essential elements of its form (visual or textual composition, style, presentation) contribute to its meaning?
• How does it adhere to conventions of a larger genre or category? (the “genre” may be action movies, men’s magazines, etc.

In the process of considering these questions, you should do some research to become better informed about possible topics.

After considering these guiding questions, determine which question or questions lead you to develop an insightful and informed interpretation of the significance of a cultural product.

In generating your idea for this essay, identify the elements of the cultural product that best support your central interpretation and craft a coherent essay presenting and defending that interpretation.

1.) Note the date (0.5 points).

2.) Write down the question being addressed by the experiment (1.5 points).

3.) Create a summary of the overall approach you use to answer the question being addressed.Do not confuse this section with a material and methods section (1.5 points)

4.) Account for the one by one steps of the method that was used.The easiest way to do that is by writing “see protocol listed in _______” citing an online resource, specific pages from a lab manual, or a published research paper. Also, be sure to note whether anything you did deviated from that standard protocol by including comments like “We followed the protocol as described except for step 2 where we did _______ instead,” etc. Also, be sure to record any technical errors that occur while doing the procedures, as this saves a lot of confusion later (0.5 points).

5.) Accurately record and show all results yielded by the experiment(raw data)as the data become available. Based on the raw results obtained (as a class), prepare an informative graph or table; you may choose one or the other (or both) depending on the experiment and depending which is the most efficient way to deliver the information.If you get pictures on the microscope, print them out and tape them into the notebook (or if you cannot, try to briefly sketch what you saw)(1.0 point). Write down a paragraph or two describing the results that you obtained (as a class).Make sure NOT to include any discussion, just plain straight results and also to write down notes about anything unusual you see(1.0 point).

7.) Last, include a statement about possible future scientific directions using as a base your findings from the experiment.This is not a section to name the mistakes you did in the experiment; but rather to suggest a future experiment/s using as a base the knowledge obtained in the experiment in the lab. Make sure you are specific about proposing the future experiment (1.5 points).

8.) Write here the answers to the questions included at the end of each manual (1 point)

1.Describe the staining pattern obtained foractin for each of the two cell types tested.Were they the same? Explain.

How are fantasy and/or surrealism interwoven throughout the chosen narrative, and why is it significant?

Citing N.K. Jemisin’s “The City Born Great,” formulate a focused and detailed essay (an introductory paragraph, however many body paragraphs you see fit, and a conclusion paragraph) to answer the following question:

PROMPT:

How are fantasy and/or surrealism interwoven throughout the chosen narrative, and why is this interplay between fantasy/surrealism and the narrative so significant? In other words, how does it help shape and convey the story’s major themes?

Your paper should be 4-5 pages long, typed, double-spaced, and in a standard 12-point font.

Here are crucial points to keep in mind as you begin planning and writing your paper:

● Plan your essay before you begin writing. This will greatly facilitate the organization and cohesive flow of your paper.

● Keep in mind that your essay should propose a thesis, be framed with topic sentences, and offer analysis and textual support. Remember that it should be well-organized and grammatically correct. Be sure to save enough time and energy to proofread your essay.

○ State a topic sentence for each body paragraph, and ensure that each paragraph flows smoothly into the next.

○ State your thesis and three main supporting points in a clear and concise manner in your introductory paragraph.

● Dig deeper into the referenced texts by using direct quotations and examples from the text: at least THREE per paragraph. ● Delve into an analysis of the author’s words.

○ As always, be careful not to simply summarize what the author has to say or use the question as a springboard for a personal response. Maintain close contact with the specific prompt question and the specific text, and keep in mind the important concepts and guidelines we’ve discussed thus far in class.

○ Do not simply state examples and leave them hanging. Do not simply summarize the text; complete each thought. Ask yourself: Why is this example or quote relevant to an answering of the prompt?

● Reference the rubrics to ensure your essay meets all listed criteria to the best of your abilities.

● Keep in mind that focus yields more depth of analysis, while too broad of a viewpoint creates generalizations and shallow points.

● Do not simply restate what was discussed in class. Further analyze what we discussed, and develop new viewpoints with greater detail.

Write a paper (4 to 5 pages) using the teamwork and TEAM concepts described in this book and then explaining how they were successfully used in two of the most remarkable aviation episodes of the modern jet transport era: United 232 and Qantas 32.

THE PILOT FACTOR’

By Jean Denis Marcellin

This book is about teamwork and the concept of threat and error management, which are also two of the main focuses of Crew Resource Management. Your assignment will be to write a paper (4 to 5 pages) using the teamwork and TEAM concepts described in this book and then explaining how they were successfully used in two of the most remarkable aviation episodes of the modern jet transport era: United 232 and Qantas 32. However, I do not want the bulk of your paper to be a summary of these mishaps. We will already have discussed what happened in class. Focus on the concepts in the book and apply them accordingly to the subject matter. Re-creations of these flights are available on YouTube (Air Crash Investigations’ or ‘Mayday’).

Do you believe you have the traits to be an effective leader?

Do you believe you have the traits to be an effective leader? Perhaps you are already in a supervisory role, but as has been discussed previously, the appointment does not guarantee leadership skills.

How can you evaluate your own leadership skills and behaviors? You can start by analyzing your performance in specific areas of leadership. In this Discussion, you will complete Gallup’s StrengthsFinder assessment. This assessment will identify your personal strengths, which have been shown to improve motivation, engagement, and academic self-conference. Through this assessment, you will discover your top five themes—which you can reflect upon and use to leverage your talents for optimal success and examine how the results relate to your leadership traits.

To Prepare:

Complete the StrengthsFinder assessment instrument, per the instructions found in this Module’s Learning Resources.

Please Note: This Assessment will take roughly 30 minutes to complete.

• Once you have completed your assessment, you will receive your “Top 5 Signature Themes of Talent” on your screen.
• Click the Download button below Signature Theme Report, and then print and save the report. We also encourage you to select the Apply tab to review

Did you learn anything from the story that could be applied to your own experience? Talk about the connections you feel to the story.

In Week 5, you chose a story and identified a theme. Presumably, you noticed this theme because in some way you connected with it. Maybe you recognize elements of your own life, or those of people you know, or of public figures, in the story’s characters and events. Maybe the theme speaks to your own experience. Even if the story you chose is fictional and set in another time, place, or universe, a powerful literary work should have elements that we can identify as common to our own realities.

For this question, reflect on the theme you chose last week and try to make these connections.

• Does the story remind you of events, people, emotions, or experiences you are familiar with? (You don’t need to write about your own experience if you’re not comfortable doing so; it’s fine to write about people you know or public figures.)
• Did you learn anything from the story that could be applied to your own experience? Talk about the connections you feel to the story.
• THE STORY IS “MISS BILL STORY”
