How Popular Music confronts economic class
Topic: How Popular Music confronts economic class

Paper details:

Create a strong thesis statement on your chosen topic, and develop an argument defending that thesis throughout your essay. Investigate this issue at length: how does popular music address, challenge, and change our thinking on the issue? Who are the participants in this discourse? What are the power dynamics inherent in the rela- tionship between musicians, the music industry, and listeners? How can that power balance shift in one di- rection or another? It’s important to remember that music can either reflect a particular subject position on any given topic, or it can construct a subject position. That is, music may be written in response to an event or paradigm shift; music can also work to create that shift itself. Your job is to demonstrate music’s role in our thinking about your chosen topic. You will choose one musical example to analyze at length. Examples should be limited geographically to North America and Britain, to stay within the confines of the course. Examine how the example illustrates the argument of the essay, using terminology from class. What instrumentation do performers use? What textures, timbres, forms, harmonies, rhythms, and other musical gestures further a listener’s understanding of the topic at hand? Your essay should present a clear picture of the social issue you have researched, connecting musical per- formance, audience reception, performer intent, and an analysis of the music’s role in our understanding of the issue. *All papers must contain musical analysis based on the terms used in class. This analysis must be incorpo- rated into the paper, not separate, and can include video analysis. Analysis should occupy approximately 15- 20% of your paper. (1-2 pages)* *Essays must be based on scholarly research, and must include at least two peer-reviewed sources, plus three other (e.g., journalistic) sources.* Citation Requirements Students are expected to use reference materials in the library or available through the library website (books, journals, encyclopedias, recordings). You may use more than one article or entry from a peer-reviewed source to count towards your two peer-reviewed sources (such as two entries from the Grove Dictionary of Music). Reliable online sources, such as the official website for an artist, may be consulted for the additional three sources. Official biographies or non-peer-reviewed magazine articles or books on popular music in gen- eral are also acceptable secondary sources. Authors must be cited in all websites used, and proper biblio- graphic format used. Use of Wikipedia is prohibited. Students should use a minimum of two peer-reviewed written sources in addition to other sources and recordings, and must cite all directly or indirectly quoted and paraphrased material, including the prof’s notes or lectures. Essays with citations, bibliographies, and discographies that do not meet the format of the 17th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style will lose 10%. Bibliographies and discographies must be single-spaced, with sec- ond and subsequent lines of each entry indented and all punctuation in the correct place. Either author-date format or footnotes may be used for in-text citations. You may put your bibliography and discography on the same page. There will be no exceptions to this rule. Misplaced punctuation, misnumbered citations, and other minor mis- takes will be grounds for losing the full 10%. The library has reference guides on reserve, or check the Chi- cago quick guide online for assistance in citing sources: http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html. Essays that do not use the minimum two peer-reviewed sources and three additional sourchkzes will lose 5% per missing source.

Which entry mode strategy—franchising or wholly owned stores—should they pursue to help Treasure Cup succeed as an international brand?

A GLOBAL LAUNCH FOR TREASURE CUP?

 

Nina Lopez and Matt O’Rourke have been trying to raise capital to expand their growing chain of cupcake shops, Treasure Cup. They make a full range of traditional cupcakes, but they found immediate success with their signature cupcakes, those that have a range of fillings, from ice cream to candy to exotic fruits. They opened their first store 10 years ago and quickly expanded throughout their state. They now own 15 stores in four states in the Northeast and are looking toward further expansion.

 

Initially, Nina and Matt were thinking they would try to branch out nationally, but with the swift success they’ve had, and the fact that they both were born in countries outside of the United States, they decided to set their sights even bigger and expand overseas. Their Treasure Cups have broad appeal, and their fillings can be easily tailored to local taste. Nina and Matt therefore concluded not to limit themselves by looking at just the U.S. market. They had already proven that they could scale; now was the time to capitalize on their experience and success.

 

The plan is now to launch Treasure Cup as a global company, serving clients in multiple countries. However, some potential investors have expressed doubts about their ability to operate globally before the company has built out beyond one region in the United States. One investor asked Matt and Nina whether they really were prepared to respond to the needs of business clients located hundreds or thousands of miles away.

 

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

What aspects of global integration do Nina and Matt need to consider in order to be successful?

Which entry mode strategy—franchising or wholly owned stores—should they pursue to help Treasure Cup succeed as an international brand?

If you were Nina or Matt, what would you do? Explain your response.

How could an unsafe environment or situation adversely affect student learning?

Paper details:

The safety of a young child should be paramount for teachers. This is especially important for teachers of children in a birth to age 3 setting. Creating safe learning environments and monitoring for unsafe situations, both within and outside of the early learning setting, should be a teacher’s top priority. For this field experience, select a childcare center that includes birth to age 3 children. Observe multiple age groups in the childcare center for safety regulations and issues. After making your observations, interview the childcare center director and a parent or guardian, addressing the following: What safety regulation and issues must be addressed in a childcare setting? What are environmental safety concerns (toxic material, furniture, weather, toys, and car seats) that must be considered when working with very young children? How is your setting evaluated (internally and externally) for upholding safety standards and protocols for young children? In what ways does your facility/school collaborate with, educate, and inform parents/ guardians regarding safety concerns? This could include, but is not limited to, securing unsafe chemicals in the home, removing potentially hazardous toys (choking hazards), or securing furniture and electrical outlets. What emergency preparedness plans do you have in place and how are they communicated to staff, parents, and children? How could an unsafe environment or situation adversely affect student learning? How is promoting a safe environment an ethical responsibility? How do the faculty and staff at your facility serve as advocates for the safety of children in your care? Are there opportunities to engage in informed advocacy to optimize the learning opportunities and strengthen the learning environment? If not, discuss ways the faculty and staff could become knowledgeable about these opportunities. Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class. In an essay of 750-1,000 words, compare your interview findings between the parent/guardian and educator. Include how ensuring a safe environment for children demonstrates ethical compassion and care for children and their families and aligns with the Christian worldview perspective. In addition, discuss ways educators can engage in informed advocacy to optimize the learning opportunities for young children and strengthen the learning environment. Explain how your findings will help inform your future professional practice. Essay includes a thorough comparison of the interview findings between the parent/guardian and the educator that is supported or contradicted by evidence from scholarly sources. Explanation of how ensuring a safe environment for children demonstrates ethical compassion and care for children and their families is thoughtfully crafted. Discussion of how educators can engage in informed advocacy to optimize learning opportunities and strengthen the learning environment for young children is insightful and specific. How the findings will be used in professional practice is thoughtfully outlined. Thesis is comprehensive and contains the essence of the paper. Thesis statement makes the purpohkzse of the paper clear.

Give a general view of how the two texts show change over time and what it means to be a woman writer.
Topic: Literature of the 17th-18th century and later 20th and contemporary literature

Paper details:

Changes over time by Anne Bradstreet-To my dear and loving Husband in reference to her children. Compare with Anne Sexton-Her kind in celebration of my uterus. A literary analysis essay is your capstone project for this course and will demonstrate your mastery of the course outcomes. Read the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric carefully and ask questions of your instructor to make any clarifications, then proceed with this Proposal assignment. In this proposal, you need to identify your two primary texts and articulate a tentative thesis statement. While your thesis and other aspects may evolve over the writing process, your intent with this proposal should be to approach your ideas for the final project as they exist at this time. Your goal is to show that you have a well-defined starting point for your final project and a clear sense of direction to launch further into exploratory research and serious thinking and reading about your topic. Assignment Parameters (You must): Follow standard MLA 9th ed. formatting: Times New Roman font, 12 point, 1 inch margins, double-spaced, page numbers including your last name, plus required MLA title page information that contains your full name, the instructor’s name, the course, the date, and a creative essay title. This also applies to in-text citations. Purdue’s OWL (Links to an external site.) has accurate guiding information about MLA format and citations. Provide an Introduction with: Context: In traditional paragraph style, provide an overview of the two primary texts you are choosing for your final paper. Give a general view of how the two texts show change over time and what it means to be a woman writer. Main Claim: Plot out a working thesis statement that shows your interpretation of these two primary texts. Your tentative thesis may not be your final thesis, but use it to evaluate sources, assess relevant contexts, and develop your argument. Create a Research Plan that: Establishes a Schedule: Provide a clear research plan for the final project. Consider your school-work-life-play schedule for the remainder of the term, and describe a schedule that will break the research, drafting, revising, and proofreading into manageable steps. Feel free to break this down into a bulleted list or keep it in paragraph form. Annotate a Source: Include at least one scholarly secondary source you plan to use for support that you preferably found using the Elizabeth Sturm Library (Links to an external site.). Give the Work Cited bibliographic information (author, title, publisher, etc.), then briefly—yet accurately—describe the source and how it will play a role in your research. This description should be 100-200 words. An example follows: Candela Jr., Joseph L. “The Domestic Orientation of American Novels, 1893-1913.” American Literary Realism, 1870-1910, vol. 13, no. 1, University of Illinois Press, Spring 1980, pp. 1-18. Specifically in this peer-reviewed article’s section titled “Individualism and Society,” statements are made about the restrictions of women in achieving their individuality, which are discussed through the analysis of Edna’s character in The Awakening. Joseph L. Candela Jr., who has a Ph.d. in American history from the University of Chicago, writes to a scholarly audience in detail about women’s roles in society and how Kate Chopin was ultimately making a commentary about “the issues ultimately at stake in the feminist revolution” (5). Candela points out the symbolism used within the novella’s text, and how those were later used as tools to further Chopin’s themes of feminine freedom, responsibility, individuality, and family (Candela 7). Overall, this article supports my thesis statement in that it examines gender limitations within The Awakening. The background Candela gives on Chopin and other texts from the 1900s will provide a firm stance on which to do a thorough comparison of the two texts. 4. Craft a Conclusion that: Summarizes: Restate the key elements of your proposal by summarizing concepts that reflect your chosen texts’ identified values, ideals, and beliefs, and how those have changed or remained the same over time. 5. Include a Works Cited page that has the three total sources discussed in this proposal: your two primary texhkzts and the one secondary source.
