Ability to Travel Back In Time from a Trip

Ability to Travel Back In Time from a Trip Time Travel Assume you have been given the ability to travel back in time, and you are about to set off on a trip to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The purpose of your trip is to visit artists in their studios and view firsthand the creation of some of their paintings and sculpture.

In your time travels, you will collect information on five different styles of nineteenth- and twentieth-century art, as represented by one artist from each style. Before you set out, decide which specific styles you would like to explore.

Select one style from each of the five categories listed below:

Late Nineteenth Century: Impressionism or Post Impressionism

Early Twentieth Century: Fauvism, Expressionism, or Futurism

Cubism: Analytic or Synthetic

Post-World War I Art: Dada or Surrealism

Post-World War II Art: Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism, or Pop Art

For each of your five selected styles, identify one artist who represents that style whose studio you will explore in your time travels. In your visits to each artistâ€™s studio, plan to identify one work of art that best exemplifies the artistâ€™s style.

When you return from your time travels, prepare a report that includes the following information for each of your five representative works of art:

A photograph of the object

Identifying information:

Name of the artist

Title of the work

Date of the work

Medium/materials used to create the work

Identify the style of the work of art. Then, write a paragraph of 4-6 sentences that:

Describes the visual characteristics that makes the object representative of its style

Places the work within its social and historical context and explains why it is culturally significant

Finally, in a well-developed paragraph of 6-8 sentences, summarize what you have learned from your â€œtime travels,â€ highlighting key similarities and distinctions between the artists you visited and their representative works of art.

Your report should conclude with an explanation about which style you find most interesting and why.

Offer a citation of your sources for each image and the information provided as appropriate

Testimonial Page and Quick Case Evaluation

Testimonial Page and Quick Case Evaluation A local shelter that receives funding from the National Institute of Health and Mental Health is upgrading its website.

Along with several upgrades to the website, the web developer/consultant makes a suggestion that the shelter adds a testimonial page where local citizens can describe their positive interactions with the shelter and its services. Since the web developer/consultant want to get that page up and running first, the developer suggests using some positive ratings and responses from Angie’s List® and other similar rating sites that already have positive stories and experiences with the shelter. The director of the shelter loves the idea of a testimonial page. She thinks it would really add to the community feel of the shelter. However, knowing her funding source, she researches the APA Ethics Code and believes the shelter would be acting inappropriately. To discuss the matter in further detail, the director of the shelter calls you for an ethics consult. -Describe and explain the ethical issues involved in this situation. (Use this site to help identify standards (e.g. standard 5.05, etc ) that can make this an ethical issue: https://www.apa.org/ethics/code/ ) -Discuss any other concerns about the web developer/consultant’s strategies. -Explain some recommendations that you would make to the shelter. Use at least TWO to scholarly sources to support your claims. Cite APA properly and ABSOLUTELY NO PLAGIARISM!

The most Effective type of Sentencing and Reasons

Types of sentencing; determinate, indeterminate, and mandatory sentencing Topic 1: Sentencing Of the three main types of sentencing; determinate, indeterminate, and mandatory sentencing, which do you find most effective, and why? Tougher prison sentences reduce crime, particularly burglary, according to ground-breaking research.

The study, by academics at Birmingham University, also found that during periods when police detect more offenses, crime tends to fall overall, suggesting that levels of police activity – and therefore of staffing – have a direct impact on criminal activity.

The findings are likely to be seized on by critics of the government’s plans for reducing the number of police officers as part of spending cuts.

Philosophy Critical Writing Assignment

Philosophy Critical Writing

THE ASSIGNMENT

Your goal is to construct a critical response to something that we’ve read so far this semester.
To do that, I’d like you to find a claim/theory or argument from one of the texts we’ve read and give reasons for thinking that either the claim/theory is false or that the argument doesn’t work.
The reasons you give should be your own. You should not rely on others’ criticisms.
Relatively, you should not do outside research for this paper.
You may respond to texts that we haven’t read in class provided that they pertain to phenomenal consciousness and you get them approved by me.

Your paper should consist of several elements, in roughly the following order:

a.Briefly introduce your topic (no more than 100 words)

Say which claim/theory/argument you are going to criticize,
concisely state your main criticism, and iii.give some sense of what your reasoning will be.

b.Explain the target (~250-500 words)

A thorough explanation of the claim/theory/argument you intend to criticize.
Make sure to use concrete examples if you can. iii.Make sure to explain how key terms are being used.

Explain your reasoning (~250-500 words)
A thorough explanation of you reasons for thinking the claim/theory is false or that the argument doesn’t work.

Consider and respond to one or two objections to your reasoning (~250-500 words)
Thoroughly explainone or two ways in which the proponent of the claim/theory/argument that you’re criticizing will respond to your criticisms.
Try to give some reasons for thinking their criticisms won’t succeed.

e.Summarize your results (~150 words)

Remind your reader of your main claim and your argument for it.

4.You’re aiming for somewhere around 1500 words. a.This is mean as a rough guideline. You can go under or over.

b.But, if you’re going significantly under, there’s a decent chance that your paper won’t be detailed enough.

Macro Policy Simulation Research Paper

Macro Policy Simulation

Please go once again to the Macro Policy Simulation. You may work in teams of two if you like, turning in the same final printout (with your own name on it). However, the answers to the questions below should be completed individually.

http://www-01.glendale.edu/mmaier/macropolicy/

This time you will play the simulation in two different scenarios.

1. For inflation scenario, choose “Fiscal and Monetary Policy”

Run the simulation again until you are satisfied with the results remembering that you will face trade-offs.

A. What were the main problems in the economy when you started? How well did you resolve those problems? What problems remain? Why did those new problems occur (explain using economic theory)?

B. For the first and last year in the simulation, describe your thought process in choosing each of the fiscal and monetary policy numbers. If some numbers are larger than others, or some positive and some negative, explain why. If you left a policy at zero, explain why.

C. Then choose another year in which your fiscal and monetary policies were different from the policies described in question B. Explain each of the fiscal and monetary policy choices in this year.

2. Choose a new scenario (not depression or inflation). Then choose “Fiscal and Monetary Policy with random shocks”

Run this scenario twice with different policy choices. Print out both results.

A. What were the main problems in the economy when you started? How well did you resolve those problems? What problems remain? Why did those new problems occur (explain using economic theory)?

B. Choose one year from each run of the scenario. Describe your thought process in choosing each of the fiscal and monetary policy numbers. If you changed your numbers, explain why you did so. If some numbers are larger than others, or some positive and some negative, explain why. If you left a policy at zero, explain why.

C. What question I am most likely to ask about your choice of policy in each of the runs? Specify the question I would ask and then answer it.

I need thew results from the website to have a completed grade
VERY important to use the website simulation
