1. Read A Critical Focus: Exploring Claude Debussy’s “Clair de Lune”
2. Carefully listen to the song “Clair de Lune” and critically examine its components, style, context, and influence. Listen for and try identifying at least TWO basic elements of music described in Chapter 6. You may also wish to refer back to the Chapter 6 Required Online Exploration resources
3. Read the essay “Musical Impressionism: The Early History of the Term” by Ronald L. Byrnside from The Musical Quarterly, Vol. 66, No. 4 (October, 1980), pp. 522-537, published by Oxford University Press.
4. Now that you’ve carefully examined and researched the work of music, go to the Chapter 6 Clair de Lune Analysis Discussion forum, and write a new thread of at least 200 words, in which you:
Describe Claude Debussy’s “Clair de Lune” analytically. In doing this, identify at least TWO basic elements of music described in Chapter 6 (section 6.1) “The Basic Elements of Music”.
Explain whether “Clair de Lune” is Apollonian or Dionysian, and provide evidence supporting your argument.
Knowing that “Clair de Lune” belongs to a musical school known as Impressionism (based on your research) describe the similarities and differences between Impressionism as an artistic movement (as we learned about in Module 5) and as a movement in music. Use evidence from “Clair de Lune” and your exploration of Impressionism to support your arguments.
Be sure to use and cite “Musical Impressionism: The Early History of the Term” by Ronald L. Byrnside and/or another essay you have already found and read as a research source article concerning the musical school and movement known as Impressionism.

In Plato’s Gorgias, callicles says to Socrates: ”… For the truth is, Socrates, that you who pretend to be engaged in the pursuit of truth, are appealing now to the popular and vulgar of right, which are not natural, but only conventional. Convention and nature are generally at variance with one another….” What does Callicles mean? What is his view of natural justice? How, according to Callicles, does it differ from conventional justice? Meanwhile, Thrasymachus states in Plato’s Republic that ” justice is nothing else than the interest of the stronger…” What do you take thrasymachus to be saying? How does Socrates challenge Thrasymachus’s definition of justice? What is your view of Thrasymachus’s claim that the rulers, who rule because they are strong, infallibly know what is in their best interests? Please compare and contrast the two accounts of justice mentioned above. Are callicles and thrasymachus basically making the same point? If their views of justice differ, how do they differ? How does Palmer characterize rational thought in the first chapter of his textbook? Is there a difference between thinking rationally and asserting one’s strength? Please explain your views, be thorough, and show that you have read the material closely.

Research Paper Outline
FSGN 1101(2) Introduction to Gerontology
Value: 10%
Due: February 27, 2019 by 6pm
Students must submit a 2 page outline of their research papers via Moodle (4 page total with
title page and reference list page). The research question must be related to a topic discussed in
class. Students are encouraged to explore a topic of particular interest to them or to choose
one from the list below.
Students are encouraged to begin searching for resources on their topic to determine if there is
enough published information about the topic to write the paper and to begin to develop the
paper outline. Research topics are to be related to course content covered in Sections 6,
(psychology), 7 (healthcare), 8 (family life & social support), 9 (leisure, recreation & service).
If you’re not sure if you have developed an appropriate research question, email the instructor
your question at least one week BEFORE you submit your paper outline.
Some Suggested Research Topic Ideas
Psychology of Aging
• Resilience in older life
• Creativity and aging
• Rethinking dementia
• Implications of plasticity and cognitive reserve as we age
• New models of intelligence
• Aging with a developmental disability
Healthcare
• Implications of health care rationing
• New models for an aging population
Introduction to Gerontology FSGN 1101
• Person centred care
• Health promotion among seniors
• The promise of technology
• Pathologizing aging
Family Life & Social Support
• Ethno cultural differences in social support
• Baby boomer support for siblings: Cohort differences
• Filial obligation and social support
• Caring for older parents (or older spouses, nonrelatives)
• Caring for persons with dementia (differences, challenges, best practices)
• Combining work and eldercare – short and long-term consequences
• Maintaining family in long term care
Leisure, Recreation and Service
• Volunteering among older persons (gender differences, cultural differences, etc.)
• Changes in spiritual need as people age
• Spirituality and aging: different religious traditions
• Living a meaningful late life
• Aging and lifelong learning
Research Paper Outline Requirements
The outline should be 2 pages (300-500 words), plus separate title and reference pages (total 4
pages). Use the following format when completing your outline:
1. Title Page: Follow APA format.
2. Research Question: Write your research question. Strong questions are always specific and
targeted. The more specific you can be, the better the paper will be. You will build your paper
around this question.
3. Introductory paragraph – Describe in one paragraph (approx. 100-200 words) why this
question was chosen and why it is important to understand it. This is not an opinion piece or a
personal reflection. It is a research paper and your arguments must be supported. Please keep
that in mind here and as you write the paper.
4. Investigation Plan: Describe in one paragraph (approximately 100-200 words) the plan for
investigating this question using a gerontological perspective. What makes this study a
gerontology study (besides the topic)? To address this you will need to think about the theories
and methods that are used in gerontology, and how gerontology’s way of thinking about aging
Introduction to Gerontology FSGN 1101
may be different from other disciplines (such as biology, or psychology or English literature –
although there may be some points of connection between these disciplines). In addressing
these questions, consider what it is that makes gerontology as a field of study distinct.
5. Reference List: Include 3 references for published peer-reviewed academic research in APA
formatting.
6. Grammar & Spelling: Proof read before submitting to ensure you have spelled all words
correctly and have used good grammar.
The outline is the plan for your research paper. You need to give each of the components of the
outline due consideration and you need to think about how each component relates to the
other. For example, do your references actually help you to address your question, or are they
just general references on the overarching topic of aging? Your grade will reflect how well the
different aspects of the outline fit together, and show your understanding of a gerontological
perspective.

Research Paper Instructions: Assignment Checklist
Check off each step as you work through it, in order to ensure that all steps have been
completed correctly. If you have questions as you work through the steps, ask before/after
class.
Choose a topic that we discussed in class that you are interested in from Sections 6-9 (see a
suggested list of topics in the outline assignment instructions document on Moodle but feel
free to choose something different). Start searching for resources on the topic to use to build
your paper and see if there is enough published information about the topic to write the
paper. Create a research question that can be answered through the published research in
the field. If you’re not sure if you have chosen an appropriate research question, email me
your question BEFORE you submit your paper outline.
Review your scholarly sources, reading each one and taking notes of the points you
want to use in your paper. Relying on too many direct quotations will also result in
grade deductions. Please include references to show where you get your information
from. To avoid plagiarism, it helps to take your notes in your own words, paraphrasing
the journal articles.
Complete and submit your the outline for your paper, including the reference list of your
sources. It will be the map for your paper. See the document on Moodle with specific
instructions for completing your paper outline (due February 27, 2019)
Get writing! Your paper should clearly state your research question, have a c
Introduction to Gerontology FSGN 1101
introduction, main body (with sub-topics) and a conclusion, all clearly marked by
headings. Common mistake: Remember that we do not introduce new topics or
ideas in the conclusion section of a paper.
Write and revise. Writing a research paper should not be a one-time process. Begin
early and come back to your work. It will be important to read through your paper to
gain a perspective on what you may have missed, or what you have repeated. It can
be helpful to read your paper out loud; it allows you to hear when sentences sound
awkward. Let a friend/fellow classmate/parent read your paper and give feedback.
Proofread, proofread, and proofread. Losing marks for grammar, typos and incorrect
formatting is completely avoidable.
Edit your work. Be sure that your entire assignment, including citations, is written in
American Psychological Association (APA) format. The Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) is an incredibly useful source for students new to APA. Be sure that your assignment abides by the formatting rules above.
Upload your assignment to Moodle. Your assignment will be graded.
Academic Integrity: Plagiarism
Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s words or ideas obtained from any source, including
the Internet, as though they were one’s own. Specific offences include, but are not limited
to, the following:
1. Using copied material without enclosing that material in quotation marks and/or
without appropriately acknowledging its source;
2. Paraphrasing or summarizing the original wording too closely;
3. Omitting acknowledgment of the source of paraphrases and summaries;
4. Submitting work that has been written in full or in part by someone else.

Coming from a Small City In India, my Aspirations are Massive. I would love to use every opportunity possible to learn and socialize for my personal growth and my economic growth. I always felt that U.S is the land of opportunity but after arriving here, I couldn’t figure out how, Until Now! UChicago provides the essence which I was looking for in my College Life, the ability to do and learn whatever I want with the support of the college. My Love for UChicago actually started when I received a Letter from Professor _____________ of Harvard University. I love going for talks related and unrelated to my field, I’m pretty nerdy that way. I always used to send letters to these professors, engage in conversation in an attempt to receive access to their research, but we all know how it ends, and after receiving that letter from Harvard, it made me realize. I have to move to another university for my personal growth, and among the colleges I researched about my top choice is UChicago. I’m a very inquisitive person and I love discoursing with faculty members, and chatting with professors on how they became who they are both Academically and Professionally and I would love to do the same over there which I guarantee will enable me to have thought provoking abilities, an necessity to be the best in any field. If gained admission, one of the first professors I would love to have these “conversation street” chats is with Professor Raghuram Rajan.
I embrace Challenges, be it mental or physical and the unique “Core” Curriculum of Uchicago which my peers find challenging to understand, has only put me more into the quirkiness this college only possess. I want to challenge myself and find out my extreme, and try to break it and reach the next extreme, a possibility I feel which will be a reality if accepted here. Boys would love to be successful, but men loves to change history , and I would like to be that man.
Last Month, I was invited by the Economics Club here At Indiana University to participate for the UChicago’s Oeconomica Econometrics Game, but due to unforeseen circumstances the plan was cancelled. I wasn’t discouraged, infact it poured kerosene on the burning fire within me to enter into your prestigious university and be the nerdiest among the nerds in the University. All in all I am Proud To Be A Nerd and likewise will be proud to call UChicago my Alma-Mater.
How does the University of Chicago, as you know it now, satisfy your desire for a particular kind of learning, community, and future? Please address with some specificity your own wishes and how they relate to UChicago?
Despite growing up in a small town in India, I have always had big dreams and massive aspirations. I believe in taking up chances, finding solutions, and bettering society. Consequently, I feel that education is the key to growth both at a personal level and the world level. Throughout my life, I always have strived to work hard in School and achieve high GPAs in a bid to excel and improve the quality of my life as well as the community around me. Furthermore, I am a goal oriented individual, who has always believed that the USA is the land of opportunities. Hence, I have always socialized with various intellectuals in the USA via emails, as I tried to engage them on the various research they are conducting to increase my knowledge. It was through these letters that I learned of UChicago when Professor ________ of Harvard University gave me an insight into the institution. I made it my goal to work hard, move to the USA and pursue my studies in the institution.
First, I felt that the Professors here are very engaging and friendly. Additionally, they are very professional, and knowledgeable which makes it an ideal institution for one to learn and increase their knowledge. Accordingly, one is assured of continued support and guidance as they conduct their research. I am an inquisitive individual and love to discourse with the faculty members on both academic and non-academic matters. I believe that this helps build a wholesome individual who is all rounded and able to tackle various problems in the world. Among the professors I am looking forward to meeting if given admission is Professor Raghuram Rajan, who I believe will help me grow in my field.
Additionally, I love challenges and believe that we as humans are tasked with finding solutions. Therefore, I never shy away from the different challenges I am faced with. I believe that in joining the institution, I will have stepped out of my comfort zone and meet similarly minded individuals, some with abilities better than mine, whom we may work to build each other and succeed. Moreover, being an international student, I would love to meet with the various international students within the institution and find their various perspectives and outlook to various phenomena. I believe that diversity creates an ideal environment to help develop individuals and make them better individuals.
Although I missed out an opportunity to participate in UChicago’s Oeconomica Econometrics Games in the previous month, I have always kept my dreams alive and worked hard in my studies to gain admission into the prestigious institution. I am looking forward to joining some of the World’s brightest minds and help solve some of the problems facing society.
Q2) Imagine you’ve struck a deal with the Dean of Admissions himself, Dean Nondorf. It goes as follows: you’re guaranteed admission to the University of Chicago regardless of any circumstances that arise. This bond is grounded on the condition that you’ll obtain a blank, 8.5 x 11 piece of paper, and draw, write, sketch, shade, stencil, paint etc., anything and everything you want on it; your only limitations will be the boundaries of both sides on the single page. Now the catch… your submission, for the rest of your life, will always be the first thing anyone you meet for the first time will see. Whether it’s at a job interview, a blind date, arrival at your first Humanities class, before you even say, “hey,” they’ll already have seen your page, and formulated that first impression. Show us your page. What’s on it, and why? If your piece is largely or exclusively visual, please make sure to share a creator’s accompanying statement of at least 300 words, which we will happily allow to be on its own, separate page.
You read the front page, and now you are like “Why am I seeing this?” Well, my fellow human, you are in luck! As I am going to make your interesting day even more interesting. We are going to play “THE GUESSING GAME.” Sorry Interviewers due to your substantial knowledge about me already you are unable to play, but please be my guest to tag along.
I am your Host, Neil Jolly Malayil and this is a thought-provoking session of who I might be. You may not know me yet, but after this, I am sure to increase your curiosity. But before that, I am pretty sure you would love to know why you are viewing this paper all of a sudden. Well, my friend, I had made a deal with the devil himself, and he’s not your typical devil. (I’m joking he is not a devil, he’s the dean of UChicago) Instead of taking away my soul for admission, our agreement is the paper in front of you. Yup, We all have our ways to Introduce ourselves, and this is mine. Pretty Creepy Right?
Now let’s start the Guessing Game! On Page 1 you see this very odd looking sheet! (The Body Of David Beckham + The Brains of Neil deGrysse Tyson + The Comedy of Kevin Hart ? Me) So why have I done this? Well, you have been staring at this paper for a good minute now, but did you ever think why is there so much Blue in the front page? Is it because I want to get your attention? Is it because I’m very cool as blue on the outside yet black as Kevin Hart’s Tee within? Or maybe it is just my favorite color? Maybe I have the inquisitive like Neil deGrysse Tyson but is cool as a cucumber like David’s looks? Maybe I’m not as expressive in showing my emotions like the photo in the right, or maybe I am? Maybe I love to be unique like how the image on the right is different in every way from the others?
Now you’re starting to get the game, aren’t you? “Haven’t you heard the saying Do Not Judge A Book by its cover.” This is exactly that. Shocking, isn’t it? You may wonder, Wow! is he the next thought-provoking artist such as Banksy, spoiler alert, I’m not. My drawing of the Bird is still the alphabet “ V.”
Too many Questions, Very Fewer Answers but don’t worry, while your mind may have crashed due to the infinite number of possibilities. Answers to all of them are right beside you.
Thanks for Playing! Just take a deep breathe and look up now. ??

Approximately 70%–75% of homicides are committed with firearms. Write 3-5 pages that answer the following questions:
Part 1
•Explain how a handgun is manufactured, most specifically the bore of the barrel.
•Why is rifling present in the bore of the barrel? What is the purpose of rifling?
•Compare and contrast a revolver versus a semiautomatic handgun. How is the caliber of a handgun determined?
•Explain the difference between a bullet, shell casing, and a projectile.
•When examining a handgun, projectile, or shell casing, provide examples of class and individual characteristics.
•What is the difference between a perforating gunshot wound and a penetrating gunshot wound?
•Compare and contrast the characteristics of an entrance wound versus an exit wound.
Part 2
•What are the characteristics that might exist or not exist for determining the muzzle-to-target distance?
•There are four ranges. At each range, what is the muzzle-to-target distance
contact to near contact
close range
medium range
distant range
•Explain the characteristics that might exist or not exist at each range. For example, a bullet hole will be a characteristic at each range.
•What types of evidence would an investigator document from a handgun of a death scene?
Do the observed levels of atmospheric CO2 since 1979 fall within the “normal” range of CO2 levels from the past 800,000 years? Explain. (1-2 sentences)
If someone claimed that all of the climate changes we have observed in the last few decades are simply the beginning stage of another naturally occurring ice age, how could you use the data from this question and the previous question to refute their claim? You must cite actual numbers from the data here to support your response. (2-4 sentences).
2nd
In this lab, you found that Buffalo had a fairly large temperature anomaly for December 2016. In the map of global anomalies, you found that other places experienced even larger temperature anomalies (much cooler or much warmer than normal). Answer the following questions in the space below:
If a person doesn’t know the difference between weather and climate, and lives in an area that experienced below average temperatures 2016, would they likely be more or less concerned about climate change (hint: refer back to Question 1 of Comprehension) (1 sentence)?
If a person lives in an area that experienced above average temperatures, would they likely be more or less concerned about climate change (1 sentence)?
Why would their thinking process be incorrect in both situations (1-3 sentences).
3rd
Using your own words, summarize the evidence from this lab that supports the idea that the Earth is warming. Specifically:
Explain the difference between weather and climate, and how measurements of weather can lead to inferences about climate change (2-4 sentences).
Explain what an anomaly is (in your own words!!), and how it relates to weather and climate (2-4 sentences).
Further, address how spatial and temporal (time) variability in temperature anomalies can occur even while the general trend of globalwarming is occurring (2-4 sentences). In other words, why doesn’t the occurrence of temporal and spatial temperature variability disprove the idea of global warming?
You must give examples of specific numbers from the lab to support your answers.
This must be a well-composed response,
with complete sentences, correct grammar, and
connected flow of thoughts.
