How do artistic women create within defined roles and images of women?
Over the centuries, this debate about women’s nature, “the woman question,” included such claims as it is in women’s nature to be weak and fragile. The debates often claim that weakness is inherent in females, rather than focusing on the way women are taught and/or socialized. Furthermore, the debate goes, women are suited only for domesticity because of their nature. It has even been argued that women have no souls. Most importantly in our discussion throughout this course is the way these restrictions on women’s lives have impacted their creative expression. In Week 1, we learn how gender ideology has impacted women’s creative expression and its visibility in society.
Our focus is on Renaissance women in Week 1, but we look at how contemporary women are still resisting ideas about women that began as early as the Renaissance period. The Renaissance “ideal lady” was an idealized woman who was defined as virtuous, pious, and modest, and though she may have been encouraged to be artistic, because of persistent ideas about women’s gender her creativity was deemed important only to charm and entertain men in the court, or was relegated to remain in a convent or the home. As we have seen, these ideas about women (ideology) restricted her creativity and visibility. Significantly, the visibility of women’s creative production is still an issue partly because of gender ideology centuries old.
For this week’s journal, discuss in three to four pages how gender ideology impacts women’s creative expression. Illustrate your discussion with examples of creative women from the Renaissance period. Your examples should come from our required or recommended resources and represent at least two different genres (for example, poetry, painting, sculpture). Explain how ideas about women’s nature and role impacted women’s work. Finally, after viewing the multimedia, conclude with a reflection on how the contemporary activism of the Guerilla Girls addresses the similar issues in today’s art world.
To help you explore this journal, consider some of the following questions:
· What role does she play in her life (courtesan, wife, mother, nun, aristocrat, etc.)?
· How does that role support or discourage her creative expression and her visibility?
· Does she resist or comply with the expected norms of her gender?
· How do artistic women create within defined roles and images of women?
A stressed employee who goes for a walk on a nature trail in the middle of the workday is using what type of coping mechanism?
Case Analysis (Capital One )
How often do you feel like you need to blow off some steam at the end of a pressure-filled day? Imagine if you could walk from your office to a state-of-the-art fitness facility that included basketball, racquetball, lighted tennis courts, and sand volleyball courts. How about softball fields, exercise floors, and equipment for strength training and cardiovascular activities? Add nature-based walking trails and a tai chi garden that you could use whenever you wanted. You could have all these as part of your benefits package if you were an employee of Capital One, one of the fastest-growing and most admired financial services providers in the world today.
Capital One grew from a small spin off division of a larger financial company in 1994 to #112 on the Fortune 500 today. The company has earned numerous honors such as being listed as #17 on the 2017 Fortune“100 Best Companies to Work For”list. Other awards include excellence in LGBT equality, disability equality, and as a G.I. spouse-friendly workplace. Many of the company’s honors are related to policies that reduce stress, such as onsite medical care, compressed workweeks, virtual meeting training for working at home, and paid time off for volunteering. Consistent with the value it places on the health and well-being of employees, Capital One invested millions of dollars in world-class fitness centers at many of its locations. The company also collected data to assess whether participation rates in those centers were associated with benefits to the company. Results showed that investments in first-class fitness centers and other amenities that create a more positive work environment pay off in increased productivity and reduced health care costs. These findings match scientific research showing that participation in fitness activities reduces stress levels, risk of coronary heart disease, and memory loss.

When you envision the ideal early childhood classroom, you see children working in
groups, getting along, demonstrating problem-solving skills, and being totally engaged
in the stellar lesson or activity you have created. However, as we all know, that
classroom does not just “happen.” It takes a tremendous amount of effort and
preparation on the teacher’s part for this harmony to exist. Teachers must let their
students know their expectations. This is generally done by teaching the rules of the
classroom. In addition to stating the rules and procedures, a teacher must respond to
children’s actions both positive and negative in order to demonstrate their expectations.
This way, appropriate expected classroom behavior can become the classroom norm,
instead of the exception so that you can spend your time engaging with your students in
the amazing, creative lessons you have created instead of dealing with negative
behavior.http://writingcenter.uagc.edu/apa-stylehttps://uaglobalcampus.vitalsource.com/books/9780134091

When or where would you think it would be necessary to implement security measures for both?
Many business environments have both visible and invisible physical security controls. You see them at the post office, at the corner store, and in certain areas of your own computing environment. They are so pervasive that some people choose where they live based on their presence, as in gated access communities or secure apartment complexes. Alison is a security analyst for a major technology corporation that specializes in data management. This company includes an in house security staff (guards, administrators, and so on) that is capable of handling physical security breaches. Brad experienced an intrusion—into his personal vehicle in the company parking lot. He asks Alison whether she observed or recorded anyone breaking into and entering his vehicle, but this is a personal item and not a company possession, and she has no control or regulation over damage to employee assets. This is understandably unnerving for Brad, but he understands that she’s protecting the business and not his belongings.When or where would you think it would be necessary to implement security measures for both?A substantive post will do at least TWO of the following:
- Ask an interesting, thoughtful question pertaining to the topic
- Answer a question (in detail) posted by another student or the instructor
- Provide extensive additional information on the topic
- Explain, define, or analyze the topic in detail
- Share an applicable personal experience

Explain the difference between oral auctions and second-price auctions, including how they work and their results.
Unit VI Economics for Managers
Instructions
Auctions can be an important tool for selling goods and gathering information. Auctions are used in multiple venues including agriculture, eBay, and distressed asset sales. The seller does not have to worry about estimating demand and setting a price because the demanders will do that through the auction process.Write about examining the value of auctions in the economy by addressing the following items.
- Explain the difference between oral auctions and second-price auctions, including how they work and their results.
- Use the expected value information to illustrate how having more bidders in an oral auction will likely result in a higher winning bid.
- Explain how the number of bidders in a common value auction affects the outcome of the auction. Relate this to the effect on price in different market structures based on the number of producers.
- Auctions lead to outcomes where buyers reveal their value for the products being auctioned. To successfully price discriminate, firms often rely on buyers revealing their value for products. Explain the conditions necessary for firms to be able to price discriminate.
