One type of interest group are those associated with gun-control. This is an issue over which intense lobbying takes place by interest groups, most notably the NRA (National Rifle Association) and Handgun Control, Inc.  Read about gun-control in your text and then check out their websites: NRA.org and BradyCampaign.org. How does each group try to appeal to potential supporters? How do they try to attract and involve members? Consider the arguments raised on both sides and respond to the question: Are tougher gun control laws necessary?

+++++++++++++++++++

Throughout the term, you have researched a wide diversity of “Art Worlds” / art sectors. You have discovered many aspects of the art and creative sectors, how they are managed, the various roles required within an organization and the many details that are very much a part of these art and creative sectors.

Your past assignments were an exploration of an arts sector that were of interest to you. You were open to new ideas and concepts of art worlds and/or art and creative sectors and you were the creator of your own art world / creative sector. You will reflect on the choices you made in your research and will share your realizations about what you discovered in that research.

You are to review your experiences with the content in this course and reflect personally to what you have discovered. Use your contributions to the discussions and your observations of other students in your reflection.

Refer to your past assignments, particularly, Listed at the end of this post

– Week 4: Personal Investigation of an Arts Sector (Art World)

– Week 6: Midterm – Identify an Art World

– Week 8: Personal Investigation of an Arts Sector (Arts World – Research &

Discussion)

In addition, you are to reflect on your journey through this class. Note, this is not a course evaluation, it is your personal experience expressed through a reflective paper. This is about you and your experiences. Your final paper will be aminimum 4-page reflective paper (you may write more) on your experience in this class. You will cite a minimum of 8 references from the readings, lectures, videos and/or Discussion responses to support your positions and perspectives. Include the following parameters:

 

  1. How has this class experience and your personal research enhanced your ability to understand the Arts and Creative Sectors?

     a) Highlight specific aspects of the course that assisted you in this understanding.

     b) How did your fellow students’ assignments and discussions contribute to your understanding?

 

  1. What has changed in terms of your perspective of how you now see the “arts world” and/or ”creative sectors?

      a) What specific arts sector and role would be of most interest to you?

      b) How do you see the possibility of your role and possible involvement in an “arts world” or  

          creative sector in the future?

 

  1. Did you encounter a “break-through moment” where you “saw” a perspective that previously was not in your experience? Describe your experience.

 

  1. How has this class informed your identity as a possible participant in the “business of the arts”?

For your information – A review of the questions from the Art World assignments:

NOTE – The questions below are for your reflection only. These questions are not for the Final Reflection.

This assignment consists of identifying and describing an “art world,” as the concept is established in Howard Becker’s chapter entitled, “Art Worlds and Collective Activity” (available on the course site). Drawing on Becker’s ideas, as well as those we have discussed in class during the first half of the quarter, you will write a paper that contains the following three section:

 

  1. identifies an art world by locating it historically, geographically, and socially

– who is primarily responsible for or identified with the “art”?

– who comprises the audience or consumer?

– where does this art-making happen?

– what time period are you looking at? what is the ‘history’ of this art world?

 

2. lists and explains the artistic/creative “products” that come out of this art world

– what are the kinds of art or creative items produced?

– what are important features of them with regards to aesthetics, conventions, standards, or expectations?

 

 3. presents an overview of the “support structures” or collective/collaborative practices and entities involved

– who is involved beyond the primary “creator(s)” in the production, distribution, or use of the art? what other

‘roles’ are there?

– what organizations, systems, entities, etc. help to allow for this art world to exist?

 

The assignment will be evaluated according to the following details:

  1. identifies an art world:

– explicit identification/naming of art world

– describe primary artist/creator role(s)

– establish “context” or geographic location of art world

– establish time-frame for art world

 

2. lists and explains artistic/creative products

– names and describe product(s)

– enrich the description with attention to aesthetics, conventions, standards or expectations for each product

 

3. presents an overview of “support structures”

– name and describe roles beyond “primary” artists/creative people listed in Section I.

– explain the presence/absence of other “support” structures, agencies, organizations, etc.

Sketch the density curve of the sampling distribution

Sketch the density curve of the sampling distribution

The Census Bureau reports that households spend an average of 31% of their total spending on housing. A homebuilders association in Cleveland believes that this average is lower in their area. They interview a sample of 40 households in the Cleveland metropolitan area to learn what percent of their spending goes toward housing. Take mean Mu to be the mean percent of spending devoted to housing among all Cleveland households. We want to test the hypotheses Ho: mean = 31%
Ha: mean < 31%

Assume that the population standard deviation is 9.6%.

a) What is the sampling distribution of the mean percent x-bar that the sample spends on housing if the null hypotheseis it true? Sketch the density curve of the sampling distribution. Be sure to locate mean and standard deviationn correctly.

B) Suppose that the study finds x-bare = 30.2% for the 40 households in the sample. Mark this point on the axis in your sketch. Then suppose that the study result is x-bar = 27.6%. Mark this point on your sketch. Referring to your sketch, explain in simple housing is less than 31%, whereas the other result is not.

C) Shade the area under the curve that gives the P-value for the result x-bar 30.2%. (Note that we are looking for evidence tht spending is less than the null hypothesis states.) Now shade differently the area under the curve that represents the P-value for x-bar = 27.6%. Find these two P-values.

Explain advantages and disadvantages to converging with ifrs

Explain advantages and disadvantages to converging with ifrs

Discussion

There are many advantages and disadvantages to converging with IFRS. Businesses, investors, and accountants in the United States and abroad will all experience significant challenges as well as benefits as convergence draws near. In this discussion, you will be assigned by your instructor to argue FOR or AGAINST convergence.

Group A is assigned to research and argue FOR convergence; Group B is assigned to research and argue AGAINST convergence.

If assigned to the FOR convergence side: Your initial post should outline the key benefits of converging U.S. GAAP with IFRS. Consider the benefits to all parties involved, including small and large businesses, local and global businesses, investors, and accountants.

If assigned to the AGAINST convergence side: Your posts should outline the key disadvantages of converging U.S. GAAP with IFRS. Consider the challenges to all parties involved, including small and large businesses, local and global businesses, investors, and accountants.

Your initial post should thoroughly address the question prompt and be supported with research. Be sure to properly cite your reference(s).

YOU ARE ANSWERING FOR GROUP A

EXAMPLE OF AN ANSWER(BELOW)

The U.S. GAAP and IFRS convergence would be a good move. One reason for this is the ability to have one set of accounting standards used globally. There would not have to be any converting to one standard or another when reporting on the financial statements for companies. Merging and acquisition of other foreign companies would be easier and less expensive as well. Foreign companies would also want to invest more in U.S. markets because of the decrease in costs this convergence would lead to, as well as not having to deal with a different accounting standard as they do. U.S. GAAP is considered a set of rules that must be followed, but the convergence with IFRS would allow for more of a guideline type set of standards.
