Subject options for the take home essay
(1)    Choose two or three of Dziga Vertovs Kino Pravda films (all accessible via YouTube) and discuss them in comparison with Man With the Movie Camera. In what sense do the Kino Pravda films anticipate thematic and/or stylistic elements of MMC? How do both the former and the latter reflect the Kino-Eye ideology?

(2)    Find a documentary not discussed in the texts, homeviewings, or in class that contains a substantial amount of found footage. Discuss the documentary in terms of concepts, insights, and/or angles provided in the literature we read and in other pertinent papers/chapters. What can you say about the difference in the effect of the original footage and its recontextualized use? How, if at all, have the original sources been changed by visual, musical, sonic, or verbal additions or changes?

(3)    Find a short animentary (or a long fragment from a feature-length one) that has not yet been discussed in the texts, homeviewings, or in class, and analyze it using concepts discussed. How is the indexical relation with a profilmic reality ensured, if at all? Are music, sound, and language used primarily to ensure indexicality or are they used creatively. How do ethos and logos play a role in the documentarys audiovisual rhetoric? How does any of this affect your evaluation of the documentary status of the film?

(4)    Find a short documentary (or a long fragment from a feature-length one) that is for one reason or another controversial and that has not yet been discussed in the texts, the homeviewings, or in class. Analyze it from an ethical/moral perspective. Apply concepts proposed by the authors we discussed, complemented by other scholarly sources, and evaluate their usefulness for your documentary. Take into account the sometimes conflicting responsibilities makers have toward participants, viewers, sponsors, and themselves.

In your outline:

Outline and organize the main points of your project.
Explain each main point of your project, providing enough supporting details so that the topics, logic, and organization are discernible and understandable.
Create a reference list in APA format of 10 or more scholarly sources that support the main points of your project.

Your outline should be approximately 23 double-spaced pages, including your reference list. Use the resources provided to help you complete this assignment. Remember that you can use RefWorks, or a similar application, to properly format your sources. Prior to writing this assignment, please be sure to view the Project Outline Scoring Guide to learn how to maximize your score. Your assignment is due by the end of this week.

Here is the project  brief: State one specific problem, issue, challenge, or difficulty facing real-world global managers operating in a cross-border context and offer your advice/opinions (with proper support and justification) on how the problem, issue, challenge, or difficulty can/should be addressed.

   

As this class draws to an end, you covered a vast amount of material  pertaining to business law. From the classifications of law, contract  formation, illegal agreements and various types of property, to business  ethics, you gained further insight into how businesses should operate.

For your final assignment, you will be creating a brochure that  informs an audience as to all of the amazing topics that you covered. In  your brochure you will need to include:

  1. A definition of Business Law and why one should study it.
  2. The difference between Business Law and Business Ethics.
  3. A list of topics covered with a brief description for each one.  Remember this is a brochure so there will not be a ton of space. You  want to hit the highlights from each week.
  4. A section on emerging trends related to business law. 
  5. Key takeaways from this course. How will you use the information from this class?

The brochure that you are creating is to be a tri-fold design,  double-sided. Draw attention to your brochure by using well-placed art,  an easy to read design with your content, and use of color.

As with all assignments, use proper grammar and spelling. Although  the Drop Box calls for a Microsoft Word document, you may utilize other  software as you see fit.

 

Often times we hear of or see unethical acts related to business, but  due to the fact that they are not illegal, there is no penalty for the  harmful act.

For this week’s discussion, describe an unethical business act that  should become illegal. Why should this act become illegal? What would be  the penalties for someone who violates this new business law?

1. Complete the assigned reading before you write your paper.

2. The film “The Hate U Give”, addresses many contemporary issues that African American teenagers and their families face as they go around their lives today. Identify and discuss 3 themes or patterns reviewed in the course in Unit 3 (Parenting & Child Development; Racial Socialization; Racial Identity) that reflect distinct aspects of African American family life as reflected through the prism

Using your reaction paper as an opportunity for personal reflection on the film. Take notes while viewing the film to aid your writing. Your paper should address your thoughts and impressions about the film with respect to 2-3 key issues that are addressed in some way in the readings. What have you learned about the issues faced?

Addressing the reading in a substantive manner means going beyond mere mention of the reading. Higher scoring papers will demonstrate some analysis and depth of understanding of how the film and readings reflect major themes covered in the course/course unit.

Please attend to issues of grammar, punctuation, clarity, and organization. Short papers are not necessarily easier papers.
