Do they have a common theme like war, motherhood, peace etc.?
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.
You will select one field in the Humanities to focus on and discuss three different examples from this field from three different cultures.
During Stage 1, you will find three examples of work in the Humanities, find connections between them, and identify course resources that can help you talk about them.
During Stage 2, you will write a paper comparing and analyzing your examples using terminology and methods from the course resources.
Instructions for Stage 1
Step 1: Find your examples
Do some research outside of the course materials and find three examples from one of the fields below that have something in common. Your examples should come from three different cultures.
· philosophy
· religions
· literary arts
· visual arts
· music
· dance
· theater
· drama
For example, you could choose three paintings, one Chinese, one American, and one from Italy. You could choose three specific dances, one from Latin American culture, one from African American culture and one from Hungarian culture. You could choose three poems about birds, one from a Pacific Islander author, one from an American author and one from a Middle Eastern author. The key is to find unique works and make sure they have something in common.
Step 2: Describe your examples
Describe each of your three examples briefly in 2-4 sentences each. Make sure to include the following information in your description of each:
1. The culture and time period for the example (for example, 20th Century Nigeria, 19th Century African American, Chinese Ming Dynasty, the 1600s)
2. The title of the example, if there is one.
3. The author, artist or creator of the example and the dates this person lived (1920-1980, for example)
4. A citation in MLA format, including an image of the example, either as a link out or as an image in the paper.
Step 3: Discover the connections
In about 3-5 sentences, explain at least one specific element or aspect that you think your three examples have in common. No additional research is needed here. Use your ideas. You can ask yourself, for instance:
· Are they all from the same time period?
· Do they have a common theme like war, motherhood, peace etc.?
· Do they all use the same palette of warm colors?
· Do they all tell a similar story?
· Do they all have the same kind of protagonist?
· Do they all use similar metaphoric imagery?
· Do they all have the same function, as in a ritual?
· Do they all address ethics? or metaphysics? or epistemology?
· Do they all depict the same kind of image, like of nature? of people? Of buildings?
Step 4: Identify course resource(s)
Identify at least one to two resources from the course materials you could use information from to talk about your examples. In about 2-4 sentences, briefly state why you think this resource (s) will be useful. If your examples are from any performing arts (music, dance, theater, drama), please look ahead to weeks 6-7.
At this point, you don’t have to know exactly what you will use from the resource(s), but you should have an idea of what resource(s) will be useful. Again, there is no need to do outside research. Please rely on the materials in the online classroom.
Step 5: Citations
Include citations for your examples and the course resource(s) you identify either in the section where you list them or at the end of your assignment. Please make sure your citations are in MLA format.
Note: Please try to adhere to the sentence suggestions for each section. This is a proposal and should not exceed two pages in 12 point font, double-spaced.
Identify the branch of government that created these lower courts.
In this unit, you are studying the judicial branch of government and the rules that apply to all cases that are filed with a court, such as jurisdiction and the justiciability doctrine. With these rules in mind, analyze the following fact patterns.
· Billy, a resident of Dallas, Texas, was having trouble paying his bills. Billy, along with his best friend Edward, decided that they would rob a bank in neighboring Wichita Falls to raise some funds. During the robbery, things went horribly wrong, and Billy and Edward ended up taking a hostage and driving to nearby Randlett, Oklahoma, where they took refuge in Edward’s grandmother’s home. Both Billy and Edward eventually were apprehended in Randlett, and the hostage was released. Which court would possess jurisdiction over this case—state or federal? Explain your answer.
· Newlyweds Malia and Kevin were honeymooning in Hawaii. They were on their way to a Hawaiian luau when they were rear-ended by a local resident who lived in Honolulu. Malia and Kevin were both hospitalized and required extensive surgery for back and neck injuries. Malia and Kevin wish to sue the local resident. Which court would possess jurisdiction over their cases—state or federal? Explain your answer.
· Jane recently discovered that she is pregnant. When she shared the happy news with her coworkers at a local law firm, everyone was overjoyed—especially her good friend, Chiquita. Unfortunately, the very next week, Jane was fired from her position, despite receiving stellar annual reviews. Her supervisor said that they were downsizing because they had lost a big case. Jane believes that she was fired because she is pregnant. Jane does not want to call any attention to her firing, so she has decided not to do anything about the firing; however, Jane’s friend Chiquita, who is a paralegal, is furious with the attorney. She has decided to file the case on behalf of her friend, Jane. In what court would this case be filed—state or federal? Would Chiquita face any problems with filing the lawsuit? If so, what? Explain your answer.
In a 2–3-page paper, answer the questions associated with each fact pattern, and also complete the following:
· Identify the federal district in which you reside and the specific district, such as the Northern District of Alabama, the Middle District of Alabama, or the Southern District of Alabama.
· Identify the branch of government that created these lower courts.
· Review the Web site for your local state circuit court and your local federal. district court, and provide the citation to each.

Discuss the different perspectives offered by differing modes of moral reasoning.
Wanda runs a small day care facility out of her home. Wanda’s husband Jack was recently laid off and forced to accept a lower paying job. Wanda and her husband now depend more on the day care home income than they did in the past. Lately, she has had a problem with parents canceling at the last minute, leaving Wanda with unfilled “slots.” She now makes sure that the money is paid before she reserves a day care slot for a child.
Wanda recently received a call from an old friend, Sheila, asking for a favor. Sheila had heard that Wanda ran a day care facility and was wondering if she had room for her daughter Karen. Sheila asked if she could pay her in a week or two because her husband just started a new job and it would be a couple of weeks until his first paycheck.
Karen fit in well with the other children and was very well behaved. The children often brought toys for “show and tell” and enjoyed playing with each other’s toys. Especially popular toys with the girls were Karen’s “American Girl” dolls and outfits. Wanda was a bit concerned when Karen brought them to day care, since she knew how expensive they are (with the accessories the two dolls were worth about $300) and feared that they might get damaged. Karen and the three other girls Wanda cared for would spend hours dressing up the dolls in the different “American Girl” outfits. Though Wanda discouraged the children from leaving their toys at day care overnight, toys were left frequently, even Karen’s dolls.
One morning, after Karen had missed two days of day care, Wanda received a phone message from Sheila indicating that she was going to have to withdraw Karen. In her message, Sheila explained that she was quitting her job so that she could stay home with Karen. Wanda was concerned because Sheila had still not paid for the two and a half weeks that she cared for Karen. Sheila also stated that she would send Wanda a check in the mail, but that she planned to stop by in the evening to pick up Karen’s dolls. When Wanda mentioned the situation to her husband, he became angry and suggested to Wanda that they keep Karen’s dolls until Sheila pays for the day care services.
QUESTIONS:
· How should Wanda resolve this issue?
· What Ethical System, or ‘way of moral reasoning’ provides the best outcome?
· Would the solution be the same for Christians as for non-Christians?
SUGGESTIONS:
· Students divide into teams to conduct a brief skit/ drama illustration of the different modes of moral reasoning.
· Discuss the different perspectives offered by differing modes of moral reasoning.
Is shape a prominent aspect of the work?
Assignment: Visual Analysis Infographic Due: Wednesday, September 14, 2022 by 11:59pm CST 100 points
A visual analysis is a close inspection of the artist’s use of art elements and design principles. A visual analysis moves beyond pure description. It is intended to enhance your observational and analytical skills, asking you to think critically about the choices that an artist makes. You will explain how an artist uses line, color, texture, space, emphasis, balance, proportion, and so forth, to create a unique composition. You will want to provide a detailed description of the formal (meaning “related to the form”) characteristics of the artistic composition. Remember you’re not just describing what you see, you’re describing what these elements do in the work.
Some things to consider in your analysis:
• Line: Are there any prominent lines in the work? Do you see psychological or implied lines? If so, do they serve any compositional purpose? Is line used to create a contour of an object or exist in its own right? Are the lines mostly horizontal, vertical, or diagonal? What do they suggest?
• Shape: What shapes do you see? Are they geometric? organic? biomorphic? Are there well-defined figure and ground shapes? Is shape a prominent aspect of the work?
• Mass: Does this work have real or implied mass? Where do you see this in the work? What indicates mass?
• Light: How is light used in the work? is there real or implied light? What are the values like? Do the values span white to black? Is the image relatively light or dark?
• Color: What types of colors are used? Are they warm or cool, bright or dull? Are they natural or arbitrary? Are the colors organized to lead your eye in a particular direction? Is color used to create space? What is the overall effect of color?
• Space: Is implied space created? If so, which pictorial devices are used to render the illusion of three dimensions on the two-dimensional plane. Does the artist use linear perspective, atmospheric perspective, vertical placement, overlapping, etc.? Are line and color used to create the illusion of mass or volume?
• Texture: Is there actual texture (impasto) or implied texture? Can you see the artist’s brushstrokes? Or, is the artist’s hand totally concealed? What is the overall effect of texture?
• Time and motion: Is there an implied time of day/year/era in history? Do you see implied movement or real movement? What is the effect of these elements to how we see the work?
• Design: How are the formal elements organized? What is the focal point of this composition? Describe how the artist creates emphasis in this work and
why your eye moves to this area of interest. Is the work symmetrical or asymmetrical?
Discuss examples of your own experiences of role strain and role conflict.
Identify 2-4 statuses that you occupy. For each status describe 1-3 roles. Discuss examples of your own experiences of role strain and role conflict.
Integrate Kurt Lewin’s “Change Theory” into a new model of healthcare theories.
Nursing has theories upon theories, and we tend to delegate those theories to a course, never really engaging in the process of how to integrate those theories into our everyday practice. It is important that as we continue to develop the profession of nursing, as well as our leadership positions within, we assure nursing theory continues to guide our decisions and inform our leadership styles.
There are multiple change theories to choose from. A common change theory in less chaotic times was proposed by Kurt Lewin: Lewins three stage change process(UNFREEZE-CHANGE-REFREEZE)
There are those that believe healthcare has become far too complex for Lewin and that change theory should advance to accommodate new theories such as Complex Adaptive Systems, Complexity Theory, or Chaos Theory.
Integrate Kurt Lewin’s “Change Theory” into a new model of healthcare theories.
Include the following aspects in the assignment:
- Identify an ongoing issue within your organization
- Using Lewin’s “Change Theory,” begin navigating through the change process
- Incorporate the three phases within your plan
- Choose a “new” model of healthcare
- Adapt your organizational change plan to function in the new model developed previously
- Include a current reference for Lewin and your chosen new model
- WRITE 3 pages long and in APA format
