I suspect that for many of you the first response you had after watching Samuel Beckett’s Waiting For Godot was, “what the heck did I just watch?” I suspect that many of you found Anna Deveare Smith’s work interesting/entertaining, but may have not know what to do with what you saw.
Trust me, there is a lot going on there. There are tons of ways to look at them, but I’d like to introduce the idea of Theater as activism. Both of these artists had something to say.
On your own, do a little (brief google searching will be all you need) research into Beckett’s play as related to his experience in the French Resistance during WWII and war in general. Do the same thing with Anna Deveare Smith and journalistic theater.
Then, write a 500-750 word response to how the stage in particular, or performance in general may be uniquely useful/powerful in educating, informing, and provoking political/social ideas.

Write a 4-6 page essay-style answer to one of the following questions:
Question I: Platos Protagoras
What does Socrates mean in the Protagoras when he claims that the virtues are one? Outline two possible interpretations of this thesis, and present a case for preferring one line of interpretation to the other. For example, does your preferred reading find stronger support in the text? Or does your favoured reading attribute a more philosophically defensible position than the alternative? Or do you think your preferred reading can be defended on other grounds? Explain.
This assignment involves three tasks:
Task 1
First, outline the two interpretations of Socrates thesis you want to consider, labeling each one clearly. For example, you can simply call them Interpretation 1 and Interpretation 2. Explain how Socrates conceives of the unity of the virtues on each interpretation. For example, does he regard justice, piety, etc. as synonyms? Or does he take justice, piety, etc. to be parts of some greater whole? If so, then how does Socrates conceive of these parts? Or is there another way to flesh out Socrates thesis, in your view? Make sure to discuss what you take to be the key differences between the two readings youve outlined in Task 1. Also, make sure to limit your scope to two possible interpretations.
Task 2
Next, outline the standard youll consult to evaluate the two interpretations you discussed in Task 1. How should we decide between these two interpretations, in your view? For example, do you think we should prefer an interpretation on the ground that it is more consistent with Socrates other remarks in the Protagoras? Or should we prefer a reading if it is more in line with some of Socrates remarks in the Euthyphro, or elsewhere in the assigned course readings? Alternatively, do you think we should evaluate the interpretations you outlined in Task 1 on philosophical grounds? That is to say, is it your view that all else being equal we should attribute to Socrates the version of the thesis that is more philosophically attractive? Or do you have another standard in mind? Whatever it is, make sure to explain your standard as clearly as possible, so that it will be clear how youre applying it in Task 3.
Task 3
Finally, your job in Task 3 is to apply the standard you outlined in Task 2. Your job here is to make it clear to the reader (i) which of the two interpretations outlined in Task 1 you prefer; and (ii) why you think the standard you outlined in Task 2 supports this verdict. Is Interpretation 1 inconsistent with Socrates remarks in the Protagoras, for example? If so, how? Or does Interpretation 2 represent a more attractive position, philosophically speaking? If so, on what grounds is it more philosophically attractive? Whatever your verdict, make sure to defend it as fully as possible by appeal to the standard you outlined in Task 2.
Question II: Platos Phaedo
In Platos Phaedo, Socrates gives an intellectual autobiography. He tells us that he became dissatisfied with the sorts of explanations he found in Anaxagoras book. According to Socrates, what would Anaxagoras designate as the cause of Socrates sitting in prison? On what grounds does Socrates reject Anaxagoras explanation? Do you agree with Socrates? Explain.
This assignment involves three tasks:
Task 1
First, identify as best you can any key assumptions you take Socrates to be making in his discussion of causation. What is a cause, in Socrates view? Are causes things, or are they better understood as events or states of affairs? Next, outline how Anaxagoras would explain Socrates act of sitting in prison, according to Socrates. What would Anaxagoras designate as the causes(s) of Socrates sitting in his prison cell? Explain.
Task 2
Interpret Socrates reasons for rejecting the explanation you outlined in Task 1. On what ground does Socrates argue that Anaxagoras explanation is inadequate? Formulate as best you can a general principle about causation that Socrates is appealing to. For example, does Socrates insist on distinguishing between (i) a necessary condition for X; and (ii) the cause of X? If so, then what is this distinction, and why does Socrates insist upon it? Note: For the purposes of this assignment, necessary condition is a technical term. You should make sure to explain it if it figures in your answer.
Task 3
Finally, you should evaluate Socrates case against Anaxagoras. Does Socrates succeed in showing that Anaxagoras explanation is inadequate? Defend your answer with an argument. For example, is it your view that the general principle you attributed to Socrates in Task 2 is false? If so, then explain your reasons for rejecting the principle. On the other hand, maybe you agree with Socrates. If so, then develop what you take to be the strongest objection to the general principle you outlined in Task 2, and then devise what you take to be Socrates best response to this objection.

The purpose of this research is to discuss the Gender Gap in Leadership: Barriers and Challenges for Women. But the main question of this research: are women leading in a way that is different than men? the goal is to determine whether gender differences exist in leadership and their potential source. Gender affects leadership in many aspects. Whether men and women lead in a different way it’s still a highly debated issue. Therefore, this paper will intend to initiate and addresses the leadership gender gap, leadership styles between genders (e.g. Glass ceilings), challenges, and barriers for women to advance into top leadership roles and future. However, the major effect of gender on leadership is that women are presumed to be less competent and less worthy to hold leadership positions (Eagly, 2001). Understanding these issues will aid organizations to understand women more when it comes to the gender leadership gap. As more women continue to enter the business world and experience the obstacles and elements that men do not face, solutions to these must be found. We hope this study is part of the solution.
