choose one American hip hop song to formally explore

For your final paper, choose one American hip hop song to formally explore one of the course topics we’ve covered on the list below. The song should be very relevant to the topic you choose. For example, you may want to explore a song that helped you to understand the concept of Signifying, or you might want to explore a song that is very representative of West Coast hip hop. Make sure you choose a song that we have NOT covered in the lecture videos. Whatever song you choose, make sure you critically engage the knowledge you’ve gained from the readings and lecture videos in your analysis of the song. Be sure to take a deep look at the lyrical meaning, the cultural context (where is the artist from? what year was it released? what was happening at that time?) and include some musical analysis (for example, describe what you hear in the beat and how it relates to the theme of the song). This is not a formal research paper, so a works cited is not required, but do include parenthetical citations and/or hyperlinks to the sources you used to come up with your ideas. Don’t forget to include not only the name of the rapper(s)/group, but also the producer, the album, the label (if applicable) and the year produced.

TOPIC LIST:

Signifying
Slavery and Freedom
Blues themes in hip hop
Hip Hop and Sampling Soul of the Civil Rights Era
Hip Hop and Afrofuturism
New York Hip Hop
West Coast Hip Hop
Dirty South Hip Hop
Midwest Hip Hop
Hip Hop and Gender Expression/Identity
Hip Hop and LGBTQQIA Identity

Extra Credit: Discuss an additional song that provides a counterpoint (contrasting example) to the song you devoted your paper to. For example, if you chose to write about a Lil Wayne song because it was a great example of Signifying, perhaps a counterpoint could be a Lupe Fiasco song that is a lot more literal. You might talk about the differences in the examples, and then use it as an opportunity to talk about the differences in how those artists have been received by the public, or where there from, or whatever you think might explain how different they are as artists. If you were talking about Vince Staples’ “Norf Norf” as an iconically West Coast song, perhaps you could choose a song from an artist from Southern California that doesn’t fit the mold of any of the West Coast subgenres we discuss in this class, or doesn’t particularly sound West Coast at all. Hip hop’s diversity is part of what makes it so powerful. We need Kendrick Lamar, who is so careful and reflexive in his representation of Compton and his role as a symbol of that community, and we also need Kanye West, who gives us a lens into his own unique mind and ego. The point of this extra credit addition to this paper would be to show two contrasting examples that are both interesting and valuable in their own ways.

Topic: Non-surgical periodontal therapy vsnon-surgical periodontal therapy with locally applied chemical agents

Your position Intervention and comparison

PICO Question:
For a client with type II diabetes and gingival inflammation from chronic periodontitis, will topically delivered chemical agents in conjunction with non-surgical periodontal therapy as compared to only non-surgical periodontal therapy be more effective in decreasing gingival inflammation and chronic periodontitis?
Patient: Adult, male age 55, presents to the office with type II diabetes, severely inflamed gums, and chronic periodontitis.
Intervention: non-surgical periodontal therapy in conjunction with local applied antibiotic therapy
Comparison: non-surgical periodontal therapy

DISTANCE LEARNING INFORMATION SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT

Dissertation Proposal
Despite the several changes experienced in the communities, education continues to be the most important and powerful force for people and increased collective transformation. Keleş & Özel (2016) cited that education is the main vehicle for starting, controlling, stabilizing or sustaining the environments impacted by the change. There are many forms of learning, however, distance education has gained increased interest among the general public, government and scholars (Petretto, Masala, & Masala, 2020).
The main objective of distance learning is to overcome the barriers of time and place among providers and students (Alliprandini, 2018). Most distance education institutions make good use of the available virtual learning environments (VLE) to enhance distance education plans, however, there are many challenges that deter institutions from achieving this objective. Therefore, the study focuses on the management of information systems for distance learning.

1.2. Research Motivation
Educational institutions are increasingly providing online teaching services to learners across the globe. There are many studies and researches about the online education systems. Less or no research has been conducted on management of information systems for distance learning to determine its potential, benefits, drawbacks, existing systems and risks factors.
[The establishment of research gaps needs the support of extensive access of literatures. You can do that in Chapter 2 of the main dissertation.]
1.3. Research Aim, Questions, and Objectives
The research aims to determine key subjects that can be effectively covered by distance learning.[The aim should be elaborated. It is also not compliant with the dissertation title.]

What is the growth tendency and potential for distance learning information sytems usage?[The proposition of the research questions should be based on the research aim. This question is not related to the aim or your dissertation title]

To research the scope of management of information systems for distance education.
I. To determine the existing systems, challenges, roadmap for the development and evolution of distance learning.
II. To identify the educational areas or subjects with the highest potential for being implemented using the distance learning methodology.
III. To identify risks factors for creating, implementing and managing distance learning environments.

Project Life Cycle Models (PLCM)

You will analyze a case on Pizza Delivered Quickly (PDQ) factory. The purpose of the Pizza Delivered Quickly (PDQ) case analysis is to assess the external and internal environments for the company, establish the goals and objectives for the company, define the operational strategies and develop action plans to implement the identified strategies. It involves the use of knowledge gained in the course to develop a business project management case which identifies local pizza factories, and the creation of the software system needed to operate them. The project involves developing several Project Life Cycle Models (PLCM) to address the Pizza Factory Locator Subsystem, Order Entry Subsystem, Order Submit Subsystem, Logistics Subsystem, Routing Subsystem and Inventory Management Subsystem.
