For this assignment, students will trace the afterlife of Leonardo da Vincis masterwork, The Last Supper, by investigating a later (modern or contemporary period) work of art that reinterprets the original painting. In analyzing, comparing, and contrasting the form and content of the Renaissance original and the image that refers back to it, you will need to consider WHY as well as HOW the later artist chose to appropriate and rethink the original. What did they see there that compelled their own investigation? And finally, what do you see in The Last Supper that continues to speak to viewers across time and space, across the centuries?
Your PRIMARY FOCUS should be LOOKING & THINKING CRITICALLY about the two works of art in relation to each other & the time periods in which they were created. Primary sources should be the works of art themselves and relevant ideas in class and in the text, not outside research; i.e., this is a primarily a reflective rather than research project. However, if you use outside sources you MUST CITE THEM CORRECTLY both within the body of the text and in a works cited page using the CHICAGO STYLE.

Read the excerpt from Carnegie’s “Gospel of Wealth,” watch the video clip of this doucment:
EXCERPT –
Andrew Carnegie, “The Gospel of Wealth” 1889 excerpt:
This, then, is held to be the duty of the man of wealth: first, to set an example of modest, unostentatious living, shunning display of extravagance; to provide moderately for the legitimate wants of those dependent upon him; and after doing so to consider all surplus revenues . . . as a matter of duty to administer in the manner which, in his judgment, is best calculated to produce the most beneficial results for the communitythe man of wealth thus becoming the mere agent and trustee for his poorer brethren, bringing to their service his superior wisdom, ex-
perience, and ability to administer, doing for them better than they would or could do for themselves. . . .
Those who would administer wisely must, indeed, be wise, for one of the serious obstacles to the improvement of our race is indiscriminate charity. It were better for mankind that the millions of the rich were thrown into the sea than so spent as to encourage the slothful, the drunken, the unworthy.
A well-known writer of philosophic books admitted the other day that he had given a quarter of a dollar to a man who approached him as he was coming to visit the house of his friend. He knew nothing of the habits of this beggar; knew not the use that would be made of his money, although he had every reason to suspect that it would be spent improperly. . . . He only gratified his own feelings, saved himself from annoyanceand this was probably one of the most selfish and very worst actions of his life…
In bestowing charity, the main consideration should be to help those who will help themselves; to provide part of the means by which those who desire to improve may do so; to give those who desire to rise the aids by which they may rise; to assist, but rarely or never to do at all. . . .
[The] best means of benefiting the community is to place within its reach the ladders on which the aspiring can riseparks, and the means of recreation, by which men are helped in body and mind; works of art, certain to give pleasure and improve the public taste; and public institutions of various kinds, which improve the general
condition of the peoplein this manner returning their surplus wealth . . . in the forms best calculated to do them lasting good. . . .
The man who dies leaving behind him millions of available wealth, which was his to administer during life, will pass away unwept, unhonored, and unsung, no matter to what uses he leaves the dross which he cannot take with him. Of such as these the public verdict will be: The man who dies thus rich dies disgraced.
Such, in my opinion, is the true Gospel of Wealth, obedience to which is destined some day to solve the problem of the Rich and the Poor, and to bring Peace on earth, among men good will.
Research paper

THIS IS JUST A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF WHAT I WANT IN GENERAL THE INSTRUCTION AND BELOW)Please use the Chicago Style. my research paper should be about civil rights movement and its impact on the united stated in terms of social mobility for African Americans, socio-economic growth, racial integration AND whatever else who may want to included. Please included PRIMARY and SECONDARY sources. I HAVE INCLUDED 2 SOURCES that I was looking at that you might find interring.

. All of the written assignments that you complete should will become part of your research essay, so it is incumbent that you treat each assignment as a component of a greater whole.
Here are some guidelines that I recommend you follow to ensure success:
All good papers have a strong thesis statement. This rule applies not only to the final research essay but to all of the component parts. The thesis statement for the research essay will be a cause/effect statement that can produce a coherent historical argument about civil rights movement and the impact on United States od America. As you develop a thesis statement, try to formulate something that you can prove given the sources you have. Use the word “because” somewhere in the thesis statement.
Research Writing: Elements and Stepsopens in a new window offers recommended online research resources
You will be expected to read at least two books and write two types of book reviews, again, focusing on the topic you have chosen to focus on for the research essay. The second of these two book reviews will be a modified version of a review essay, and will form a crucial part of the body of your final research essay. You should find interesting sources that will lead you to a topic you are interested in researching and writing about.
The paper will be written using the Chicago Style, incorporating footnotes and a bibliography with at least five academic sources, in addition to the two books you will review prior to writing the final research essay.
Chicago Manual of Styleopens in a new window Contains information from the Purdue Online Writing Lab on The Chicago Manual of Style method of document formatting and citation.
Research skills are vital to advanced level college work. Through research, you will develop higher level skills including techniques of historical research, developing and sustaining cohesive arguments, and integrating historical facts into comprehensive assertions about what they have learned. By synthesizing various perspectives and developing conclusions, the advanced level student will be able to identify and apply complex theoretical constructs.
URL endings offer a clue to the publisher:
.edu, the site is published by an educational institution that is responsible for its content. You will usually find reliable information there.
.org, the site is usually published by an organization. The information will reflect the values of the organization. For example, History.org is published by the historians at Colonial Williamsburg and is an excellent source for information about early America. Websites like democrat.org or gop.org are less objective sources. Information from sources like these will most likely have an obvious bias.
.gov, it is the site of a United States or a State government organization or agency.
.com, most sites end like this so you will have to do some investigation. The New York Times, like most news publications are .coms. If you or I started a website, it would also be a .com. You can find the publisher of most .coms through a site called easywhois.com. If you haven’t heard of the publisher, you can search them and found out who they are. Can’t find out much about them? Perhaps it’s because they are not reputable sources. Think carefully before using them for your research.
The author of the article is another vital piece of information in determining credibility.
Use your search engine to find out about the author(s). See if they have expertise and knowledge in the field. You should also read the work critically. Are the authors presenting their own ideas or paraphrasing other authors? Do they cite sources in their writings? All authors write from a unique perspective (a.k.a., bias); what is the authors perspective? Do the authors position their viewpoints within a larger discussion on the topic? Authors with expertise will be able to describe how their own ideas are in agreement with or contradiction to other experts in the field.
What if the article has no author and it’s not in a reputable publication? Do you accept information from unnamed sources? Information from unnamed sources leads to essay conclusions that cannot be supported – or accepted – in this class.
Add to the information that is provided
Use program Review of your selected agency. write-up should be in the form of a narrative description of the agency.
1. Provide an inventory of programs/services; identify target population(s); and name of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) used by the agency (if any).
2. What are the agency policies that define the(se) program(s)? Formal structures? (For example: policies & procedures, rules & regulations, eligibility requirements, funding requirements, etc.)
3. What types of program and practice evaluations are currently being conducted at the agency? [HINT: See Chapter 4]
4. Who in the agency is involved in evaluations (if anyone)? What are their specific titles/positions?
5. List key funding/regulatory agencies, professional associations, and any other organizations that the agency is accountable to for their program(s).
