Discussion Post 7 (Program Success/Failure and Personality) Fundamentally, program management boils down to three things: completing a project within cost, on time, and delivering whatever to meet the desired purpose established for the project.

Details make a scene vivid and convincing. Writers say using details is ‘showing,’ because through these sensory perceptions, the reader sees, hears, smells, tastes and touches the scene. Showing creates a sense of ‘being there.’ In contrast to showing is ‘telling.’ Telling is interpreting for readers, and there is always a feeling of distance or detachment when writers are telling. Play with showing vs. telling. Find a paragraph of descriptive writing and replace the details with generalizations. Post the original and your generalized revision.
Work with your instructor to choose the real world problem that will be the subject of your project. The problem must be a subject that is focused and feasible. The title of your project should reflect the guidelines in the APA manual, para 2.01.
Key to developing the problem statement is to identify a current real-world problem in the Aviation Field within that will be researched. The problem should be broad enough to allow for adequate research. The input should provide a brief explanation of the problem and the purpose of the research. The completed problem and purpose statement will be due in Module 2 for your instructor’s approval. You should review the Program Outcomes identified within the syllabus, and Capstone Policy Guide as the understanding and application of the Core Program Outcomes will be evaluated with the final grading of the project.

Write two essays choosing two of the topics below.
(1) Robinson 1.0 goes into nature and conquers it. Robinson 2.0 goes into nature and
is conquered, but also reborn. What enables the first Robinson to civilize nature?
What causes the second Robinson a way to succumb to nature, and what
philosophy of life does he propose?
(2) Explain the different ways in which the situations or characters in The Death of
Ivan Ilyich, 1984, and The Fall are consequences to the so-called death of God
(in less flamboyant terms, a secularized view of existence, knowledge, and
morality)?
(3) Of the six novels we have read, and which represent six facets of the Western
identity in the modern period, which one you would argue describes most
accurately and convincingly our current situation. Be specific in identifying the
salient moral and existential characteristics of your chosen novel (novels) and in
explaining why they are most relevant to what you take to be our present
concerns.
(4) The quest for personal self-realization underpins many of the stories we have read
this quarter. In the modern period, self-realization is often experienced as a clash
with social cohesion. Choose three novels and compare their treatment of this
tension.
(5) Which, of all the main characters seen this quarter, comes close to your idea of a
hero and heroine? Start by laying out and justifying your notion of what a hero is,
then explain why your chosen character embodies this heroic principle, in action
and conviction.
