Melodrama

October 29, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Art

In this analytical essay, you will compare and contrast the melodrama genre/mode within two-three films united either by auteurism, story, period, or national cinema (choose only one of these other categories). You will choose two-three melodrama films to focus on (you must find these films on your own)
10
according to one of these categories. You will compare and contrast those two-three films in order to answer your research question, which should address the intersection of the two methods of classification in the three films. If melodrama and the other classification method is not in your research question, youre on the wrong track. Choose one of the following options.

I choose option number two:
2: Analysis of genre and story
For this option, you may analyze the differences in style, direction, mise-en-scne, acting, etc. in two different adaptations of the same script or story. Your focus should be on the evolution of the melodrama genre/mode through the two-three films.
The Housemaid (1960 & 2010)

Lesson 8 and Lesson 9 Homework

October 29, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Business and Management

You need to answer both questions.

A) Given that debt is cheaper, and tax deductible, why do you think that some corporations continue to be entirely equity financed?

B) Are there any cultural implications that can be applied to mergers and acquisitions? Are they a Western phenomenon? In other words, did all of this M&A activity start out as a characteristic of Americas brand of capitalism and then spread to the rest of the world? Do we see these huge M&A transactions across Europe and in countries like Russia, China, Japan, etc.?

Essay

October 29, 2020 Leave a comment English and Literature, MLA

Based upon your reading of Dr. Christina Sommers’ article on Virtue Ethics and & the video lecture by Tamar Gendler on the same topic, write a 2 to 3 page essay (double-spaced; MS doc file or rtf) answering the questions given in the instructions.  You must support your analysis with at least two short quotations from the reading and/or video, properly notated.  Proper MLA or APA in text citations are required.  Each quotation must be no more than 40 words.  Topic Instructions are given below.

Instructions:

Based upon your reading of Dr. Christina Sommers’ article on Virtue Ethics & the video lecture by Tamar Gendler on the same, write a 2 to 3 page essay (double-spaced) on what virtue ethics is and how each of these philosophers explains it.  You will need to answer the following questions: According to Sommers, what is the main problem today and what is her basic answer both in terms of content and scope?  And then, from the lecture by Dr. Gendler, explain how we can turn normative commitments into descriptive laws and what does it mean to do that, according to her explanation of Aristotles virtue ethics (video link)?  Do you think it is fair to say that virtue ethics, as Tamar Gendler explains this moral theory, is a type of human programming and, if so, does this view challenge or undercut the idea of good human behavior as a matter of choice rather than response without thought?  Explain.  Do you think this approach of Professor Gendler to how virtue ethics becomes part of us goes along with Professor Sommers thesis on what is needed in schools today or not?  Explain.  Finally, what part of Christina Sommers analysis and proposal you find convincing, if any, and what part of it, if any, do you find questionable?

Answer each question in a separate post.
In this first discussion forum, in order to answer question #2 you must post a link to an article. You need to post a link in every forum regardless of whether you have Reader’s Choice or not.

Be aware that articles from “Investopedia” and “Wikipedia” do not count…you need to be more academic than that 🙂

question 1. After reading chapter 3 in Retirementology, what did you learn about retirement savings needs that you found to be the most interesting?

question 2. You have learned about Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, Roth Conversions, IRA Rollovers, and Self-Directed IRAs. What one new concept has sparked your curiosity to learn more?
