Week 1 discussionDq1The Value of the HumanitiesWhat is the value of studying the humanities in a business or technical curriculum? How might a topic such as ancient art enhance contemporary life?Dq2Ancient Works of ArtChoose a work of art from the reading in Chapter 1. Discuss how the work is a reflection of the ancient culture that created it. Also, did anything particularly surprise or impress you about the work of art or the ancient people who created it?Week 2 discussionDq1Greek and Roman Architectural InfluencesThe architecture of the Greeks and Romans has influenced people for centuries. When the founding fathers of America began to design Washington, DC, how were they influenced by the Greeks and Romans?Dq2Greek and Roman AdvancementsAncient peoples were often much more advanced than modern people understand. Choose one example of a Greek or Roman advancement that improved their societies. How did this advancement affect the culture of the Greeks or Romans? Has this advancement evolved and is it in use, in some capacity, in the modern world?Week 3 discussionDq1TheaterThis week, we took a brief look at Shakespeare’s The Tempest (see the Assignments section). This five-act play opens with a storm at sea (a tempest) and throughout, Shakespeare has planted allusions to apparitions and magic, such as the character Ariel who, at times, appears to be invisible to the other characters. It is a given that the special effects, such as those often used in films, to actually give the stage the appearance of a deadly tempest or actually make Ariel an invisible presence are not achievable on the stage. To fill in this gap, audiences suspend disbelief.In this thread, let’s discuss the power and limitations of theatrical imagination. Please feel free to draw from productions you have seen. (The old high school productions count, too!) Why are we willing to suspend disbelief when we see a play, yet we demand so much more from a film production? Do you think that the limitation on special effects and alternative demand on the audience member to suspend disbelief is a weakness or a strength of the theatrical experience? Would you rather see The Tempest on stage or in film? Why?Dq2Allegory and ArtThis week, we are exploring the items below.Excerpt from Beowulf (also available as an audio in the lecture)Act II Scene I from Shakespeare’s The TempestThis week, we have looked at several works of art that utilized allegorical themes. One of the most common uses of imagery in the medieval and Renaissance periods is allegory. What is an allegory? Describe how at least one of the examples of art in this week’s lecture or one of this week’s readings is allegorical in nature. Why, in your opinion, was allegory so prevalent during these periods? Is it still important in contemporary literature? Why or why not?Week 4 discussionDq1RubensLine, color, hue, balance, form and perspective were some of the key concepts covered in this weeks tutorial. Use the example of a painting by Peter Paul Rubens and discuss how one or more of this weeks key concepts are featured in the painting.Identify the painting by title, and include citations for any material youve researched.Dq2Enlightenment and Industrial RevolutionGiven the information from this week’s reading on the Enlightenment, the New Rationalism, and the Scientific Revolution, how did advancements in science and reasoning change the lives of people at this time? In addition, what effects did the Industrial Revolution have on the world?Week 5 discussionDq1Photography and ArtIn the 19th century, the camera was a revolutionary invention. Did the invention of the camera change the arts? Why or why not?Is there a relationship between movements such as realism and impressionism and the camera?Dq2Realism and ImpressionismFor this week’s discussion, choose realism or impressionism as a basis for your posts and discuss how your choice is manifested in any area of the humanities (i.e., painting, sculpture, literature, music, etc.), and give an example from any discipline in the humanities to illustrate how realism or impressionism influenced the work of art. Please be sure to give an analysis of how the work of art was influenced by the movement.Week 6 discussionDq1Art and PoliticsThis week, we looked at several examples of early modernist art such as Cubism, Fauvism, futurism, and expressionism. Let’s discuss the relationships between these aesthetic categories and the sociopolitical climate of the period.How did the sociopolitical climate of the time period, including the two world wars, influence artists?Dq2Feminism and LiteratureLets connect the themes of the three readings and the lecture for this week to talk about how the ways feminist literature has influenced contemporary thinking?In your first post, share what you see the main themes or issues that were important the writer of at least one of the following feminist works:The Outside by Susan Glaspell (audio available in the lecture)A Society by Virginia WoolfThe Solitude of Self by Elizabeth Cady StantonBe sure to reference the specific elements of at least one of the readings or audio in your response. Well follow up as a class to connect these historical issues to present-day discussions of women and society.Week 7 discussionDq1Controversial Art and CensorshipAlthough controversial art is not a topic exclusive to the 20th century, the distribution of information regarding controversial art has increased with the proliferation of media. Please discuss an example of a 20th century controversial work of art from any discipline of the humanities (music, literature, sculpture, film, etc.) and an accompanying statement from the artist(s). Based on your example, to what extent does controversial art make a social contribution? Are governments ever justified in censoring art?Dq2Pop ArtWhat were some of the influences of the pop art phenomenon? Should we consider the creative elements of popular culture, which are very often mass produced works of art?Week 2 course projectCreate a proposal of 2 pages that references one academic scholarly source for the research project you intend to complete.

tanding.Example Introduction/Thesis to a Student Paper:It never ceases to amaze me that we pay so little attention to the greatest bulk of our intelligencethat is, the quality of thinking that helps us adapt, deal with stress, love, and live lives of fulfillment. Aristotle argued that educating the mind and not the heart is no education at all. For decades, educators have focused on cognitive skills because they are testable and, therefore, metrics can be applied to them. This kind of education, testing, and then metrically interpreting results has governed American education for decades. And the results have been losses of creativity, imagination, courtesy, civic interest, and the ability to invent businesses that serve people and advance us as a society. Although measurable skills are important, they are not exclusively important, and in fact lose value when separated from an education in the heart, the spirit, and the abstract qualities that make students fully human and excellent participants in a healthy society.Example Publication Detail Capture:Mezirow, J. (2003). Transformative learning as discourse. Journal of Transformative Education, 1(1), 58-63Annotation Example:In this article, Mezirow (2003) makes a distinction between instrumental and communicative learning. Instrumental learning refers to those processes which measure and gage learning, such as tests, grades, comments, quizzes, attendance records and the like. Communicative learning, on the other hand, refers to understanding created over time between individuals in what Mezirow calls critical-dialectical-discourse, (p. 59) which is a fancy way of saying, important conversation between 2 or more speakers. Another key idea Mezirow discusses is transformative learning, (p. 61) which changes the mind, the heart, the values and beliefs of people so that they may act better in the world. Mezirow argues that hungry, desperate, homeless, sick, destitute, and intimidated people obviously cannot participate fully and freely in discourse (p. 59). On the one hand, he is right: there are some people who cannot fully engage because their crisis is so long and deep, they are prevented. But, I don’t think Mezirow should make the blanket assumption that everyone in unfortunate circumstances is incapable of entering the discourse meaningfully. One thing is certain: if we gave as much attention to the non-instrumental forms of intelligence–like goodness, compassion, forgiveness, wonder, self-motivation, creativity, humor, love, and other non-measured forms of intelligence in our school curriculums, we’d see better people, actors in the world, and interested investigators than we currently have graduating high schoolSubmit your lab to the Dropbox, located at the top of this page.

The purpose of this assignment is to assist you in refining problem-so

The purpose of this assignment is to assist you in refining problem-solving capabilities that organizations already possess for use in business ethics applications. This paper uses a structured, objective format sometimes called a system of inquiry. This assignment is a systematic formalized inquiry into, or examination of, the code of ethics of an organization and its effects to achieve a specific level of ethical behavior in employees, management, and executives. Each business should have a framework for ensuring ethical behavior. The structure, format, and scope of codes vary depending on the companys business. An oil company’s code, for example, would probably have different criteria and emphases than a health care provider’s code of ethics. Sometimes, codes of ethics are called by other names, such as an employee code of conduct. A code of ethics, though, should be differentiated from standard good operating practices.Evaluation and analysis includes problem solving and behavior in assessing organizational ethics along with decision-making processes. In this case, you are evaluating your own companys code of ethics, or that of another company if your employer does not have a code of ethics.Write a 1,200- to 1,400-word paper, one not using question-and-answer format, discussing your organizations code of ethics in detail. Perform the following steps:Obtain a copy of your employer’s code of ethics or find an example on the Internet from a major corporation, such as Shell Oil Companys Statement of Ethics. This is the document upon which to base your inquiry.Write a general information paragraph on the company, including its mission statement.Determine the type of ethical system used by the firm and reasons or examples upon which you based your decisions. Ethical systems include ends-driven, relativistic, entitlement, and duty-driven (legal or religious) ethics.Identify and discuss how the code of ethics is used. Include several paragraphs on each use: one for employees, one for management, one for the board of directors, and so forth. Some of this information comes from the companys code of ethics. Others may be available through an Internet search. Consider the following:Why it is usedthe general or special circumstancesHow it is usedWhen it is usedNote. You may not be able to find all the information. In that case, state this fact and indicate which sources were examined with no results.Why might the organization need to modify their existing code of ethics? Consider how you might modify the code if you were the new CEO and how you would implement the changes.What possible reactions to the code are to be expected from employees and managers? What effects does the organizational culture have on the acceptance of the code?What is the effect of the code on the organization?Summarize the results of your systematic analysis or inquiry into the code of ethics of this organization.Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.Prepare an introduction and use section headings identifying each of the steps with information and discussion following. Summarize your findings in the conclusion.Do not include paragraphs directly from your companys code. Summarize what is contained in the document. Your paper may contain no more than 15% unoriginal or quoted material.

BOS 4025 Unit VIII Case StudyRead the background information and scenario description in sections I and II, then answer the questions in section III. Be sure you read the complete directions for preparing your case study.BOS 4025, OSHA Standards 3I. Background: OSHA Standards and Bubbas Materials Handling Equipment, Inc.Bubbas Materials Handling Equipment is a small corporation that employs between 38 and 55 employees throughout any given year. This firm manufactures materials handling equipment that includes small cantilever racks; hand trucks, some specially designed for moving 55-gallon drums; and various dollies commonly used in the manufacturing sector. The facility was built in 1958 and is roughly 80,000 square feet. The firm receives raw materials in the form of round metal tubing, sheet metal, square tubing, and cold and hot rolled metal rods.Raw materials are removed from flatbed trailers using a large LP-gas-powered forklift with the assistance of smaller LPgas-powered forklifts. These materials are stored in racks in the receiving department. From there, raw materials are moved via forklift and various heavy duty carts to the fabrication department. This department cuts, punches, bends, copes, and shears the various materials into parts used to make the final product.The metal fabrication equipment includes two iron workers, two 70-ton part revolution mechanical power punch presses, three 250-ton part revolution press brakes, a 300-ton hydraulic press, two pipe benders, a 12-foot shear, a 10-foot shear, a mill for milling a bevel on hand truck toe plates, several off-hand grinders, and two large drill presses. The fabrication department can get quite noisy for days at a time (>85dBa), especially when making cantilever racks. Two maintenance employees keep these machines running. After being cut, punched, bent, and formed, fabricated parts go to the welding department or the Work in Process (WIP) crib. WIP includes a mezzanine and an area populated with pallet racks for storage.In the welding department, there are 12 MIG welding machines that are used by welders to assemble the parts into the pre-finished items manufactured by the firm. The welders also use an assortment of hand-held grinders and an oxyacetylene torch. Once welded, items either go in their pre-finished condition into inventory or are further processed by the painting department. Pre-finished items that are inventoried are taken to one of two mezzanines or placed in storage racks. In the painting department, items are wiped down with various solvents and hung on an overhead hook conveyor. Items go into the paint booth where they are painted using various enamels. Xylenes and toluene are common solvents used in this operation. The paints also contain these solvents.After painting, axles and wheels are applied, and the completed products are boxed or, depending on their size, loaded directly on trucks without packaging. Larger items, such as racks, are loaded onto flatbeds using an unmanned overhead crane controlled by a pendant control. Smaller items are typically loaded onto standard semi-trailers using batterypowered forklifts or pallet jacks.II. The Scenario:You have been hired by Bubba himself to put together a safety program for the company. Essentially, the company has no safety programs and has never really conducted any kind of hazard assessment.III. Questions:1. Identify 15 of what you consider the highest priority standards that are likely to apply to this operation. Include the code number for the standard, and describe a hazard demonstrating why the standard applies (e.g., Industrial Ventilation, 1910.94. The company has a paint booth that controls paint and solvent vapors).2. Identify four important written programs this company is required to have (keep in mind that not all standards require that you develop a written program or SOP of some sort; although, many companies develop such SOPs regardless). Explain why you believe they are required to have these written programs. 3. Identify five standards that this company is required to provide training for, and briefly describe why this training is required.Prepare your response to the questions listed in a properly formatted APA document. The completed paper should be arranged in the appropriate questions/sections identified above. Single-spacing may be used. Please make sure that you have addressed all questions in a full and detailed manner. Include a correctly formatted APA title and reference page. Remember to cite all sources used.
