I choose to research in medieval Game and Entertainment from 1000-1700

Here is my proposal:

Medieval Times Entertainments and Games

   

Every human being regardless of where or in the what period they lived in, all wanted to live their life joyfully. When we think of medieval times, the first thing that comes to our mind is the warlike character of people. People at that time also enjoyed going to events, feasts, games, and sports just like us. For my Magazine research paper, I am thinking of researching medieval Times Entertainment and Games. I want to focus on what they did during their free time. If they participated in tournaments, played board games, or did any sports. I would like to find out if anyone was prohibited from participating in the medieval game. For instance, based on their ranking in society, did anyone get excluded from participating in certain sports or games. What type of game was played by a different region of people at that time? Did religion or culture restrict people from playing a certain type of game?  I would like to find out if these games and entertainment were isolated from other groups of people. One of the most famous games that was played in medieval Europe by the Christians was: Chess, Table, and Dicing. Chess was more common at the local level rather than centralized ones (Olson, Page 2).  In some regions, Chess was not allowed because people started to gamble while participating in chess. I will go more in-depth in these entertainments and games around the medieval time and look at if these games impacted people living conditions positively or negatively.

Ethics Case

February 11, 2020 No Comments Financial Accounting, Undergraduate

Writing Requirements-3 pages APA Format 2-3 references

You are in your second year as an auditor with Dantly and Regis, a regional CPA firm. One of the firm’s long-time clients is Mayberry-Cleaver Industries, a national company involved in the manufacturing, marketing, and sales of hydraulic devices used in specialized manufacturing applications. Early in this year’s audit you discover that Mayberry-Cleaver has changed its method of determining inventory from LIFO to FIFO. Your client’s explanation is that FIFO is consistent with the method used by some other companies in the industry. Upon further investigation, you discover an executive stock option plan whose terms call for a significant increase in the shares available to executives if net income this year exceeds $44 million. Some quick calculations convince you that without the change in inventory methods, the target will not be reached; with the change, it will.
