The Blue Sky Mine and Corporate Social Responsibility

January 16, 2020 2 Comments Environmental science

 

The Blue Sky Mine and Corporate Social Responsibility

In response to wartime demand, the Blue Sky Mine was opened in Western Australia in the early 1940s and operated until it became unprofitable in the mid-60s.

The mine and its aftermath became the subject of a smash hit by the Australian rock band, Midnight Oil, who recently have returned to the global rock music scene. The song is emblematic of the issue of corporate social responsibility and is part of the Oils’ vast catalog of songs on environmental and social justice issues. 

When you get a chance, you may wish to listen to these music videos: Dead Heart, Beds Are Burning, and Dreamworld.

A. To prepare for your original posting, do some online research about the Blue Sky Mine and then view the official music video “Blue Sky Mine” by Midnight Oil in order to:

1. identify (and post using 1a, 1b, etc to identify your answers) –

  1. a. what was mined here and for what purpose the material was/is used
  2. b. how the Colonial Sugar Refinery treated its miners during and after the mine operations
  3. c. whether or not the company demonstrated principles of corporate social responsibility (look this term up if it’s unfamiliar to you) 
    1. if they did demonstrate corporate social responsibility, describe at least two example of how they did demonstrate CSR 
    2. if they did not demonstrate corporate social responsibility, describe at least two examples of how they could have demonstrated CSR 
  4. who is responsible for ensuring corporate social responsibility in any setting in any nation and why

2. describe (and post) how Midnight Oil uses music (speed, tone, volume, key, etc.), lyrics, and, importantly, images to tell the story of the Blue Sky Mine

Good day,

I need a one to three page memo completed by 5pm on January 20, 2020 for course CIS 500 Information Systems for Decision Making . Plagiarism free. I have attached the instructions that provides the information needed to be included in the memo. 

Beatles Movies and Music

January 16, 2020 3 Comments APA, Art

For this first assignment you should write a short analytical essay (~500 words; no need for an introduction/conclusion) focusing on ONE musical sequence from one of the first two Beatles movies (A Hard Day’s Night or Help!). Your job is to analyze how the Beatles’s music is used in the sequence. Is the song integrated into the storylinemeaning, does it advance the plot? Does the musical number make narrative sense? Does the subject matter of the songs reflect the story/theme of the movie? Are the Beatles themselves shown performing? In what context?

Remember the distinction we’ve made in class between diegetic and non-diegetic music in musical theatre as well as movie musicals. Make sure to comment on whether the video and sound editing works in conjunction (or opposition) to any narrative and diegetic considerations. Again, you should focus on ONE specific song/musical number to make specific comments on the points outlined above.

Please note that the title sequence from Help! (i.e. the song “Help!”) is not an acceptable choice for this assignment, as it was analyzed extensively in class.

Both movies are available in the Library; they can also be found online, but as usual, make sure you’re watching a full/unedited version if you do so.
