How did Usama understand the Europeans? How did he describe his own society? What were his views on Christianity? How did he view his own religion?

In the “Modules” section I’ve posted a text by Usama ibn Munqidh, written in the twelfth century. Usama was a Syrian Muslim gentleman who encountered and dealt with the invading Crusaders (“Franks”) and described them.Please read some or all of the passage – it’s interesting and colorful – and respond with any of your own observations. How did Usama understand the Europeans? How did he describe his own society? What were his views on Christianity? How did he view his own religion?

Think deeply about something I’ve covered in the module and to share your thoughts or opinions on the subject.

Art and Truth This is a “Reflect and Respond” Application Assignment. For these assignments I ask you to think deeply about something I’ve covered in the module and to share your thoughts or opinions on the subject.  These assignments are designed to help create a depth of understanding and engagement with the material that we’re looking at, often by creating a space for you to dialog with your classmates.In this module, we looked at a couple of photographs that documented the horrors of war (O’Sullivan’s Harvest of Death, and Ut’s Vietnamese Girl).  As photographs, they carry with them a certain claim to accuracy and truth that we as viewers have come to expect from journalists. And yet, they are also artworks that reflect the perspectives of their makers.  For this assignment, I would like us to use those artworks (and the two additional photos I have included below) as a platform for a bigger conversation about art, truth and fiction. What do we expect when we look at photographs of war? Do we expect an unmediated image, or one that has been altered and composed to communicate the feelings of being there?  Is one type of artwork true, and the other false?  Is it possible to be true and false at the same time? To help us answer those questions, I want to focus our attention on two of the very first war photographs ever taken: Roger Fenton’s “The Valley of the Shadow of Death,” 1855. Instead of reading something about the artworks, I want you to listen to the RadioLab podcast episode “In the Valley of the Shadow of Doubt,” which aired Sept. 24, 2012.  It’s a wonderful exploration of how images fit into our pursuit of truth, and what our expectations are regarding the role of art in the documentation of war. You can stream the audio below, or visit the I think we look at war photographs to get a perception of unaltered reality. Paintings are made according to the way how the artist perceives and later expresses what he experiences, but photos, on the other hand, show us how life and events really are. I think the fascination with war photographs comes from the natural human pursuit of truth. In war, we are stripped down of our egos and we see the horror of it in the spotlight. When we see war photographs like those listed above and in the readings we see the raw material of what is really happening, forever captured by the flash of a camera.There is no fiction in war and we get a disturbed feeling that is way less strong than the subjects of the photos experience it. It humbles us, shocks us, and also helps put things into perspective of the comfortable lives we are living in America. I know Ukrainians displaced by the war and the photos and videos they show me from the front lines help give me insight into my life and help me understand what really matters.What matters is compassion and loving-kindness. Everything else is relative. If we have more compassion we would never have to see any war again. Unfortunately, that is not the case and these photos stand as a testament that as humans we are not yet as developed as we would like to think.

write about an issue that is important to you, to your community, or to Americans in general. To do this, you will investigate the ways the government has or has not addressed your selected issue.

Government in My Community ASSIGNMENT: For this assignment, you will write about an issue that is important to you, to your community, or to Americans in general. To do this, you will investigate the ways the government has or has not addressed your selected issue. As part of your research, you will choose at least five articles from newspapers, magazines, or other online sources that highlight the government’s response to the issue. You will then identify and analyze the government’s response and provide a personal reflection on the impact. In doing so, you will deepen your engagement with course content by applying what you’ve learned in Units 1 and 2 about the U.S. federal system and the division of powers among and between the different layers of government. To complete the assignment, download the Government in My Community template, and follow the directions below. You will return the completed template as your Touchstone submission. Government in My Community Template Example Government in My Community Submission (PDF) Step 1: Select an issue that is important to you, to your community, or to Americans in general. Your community could be your geographical community (e.g., your neighborhood, town, or city), a community of people with shared characteristics with whom you identify, or the broader state or national community. You can choose any issue, but here are some ideas to get you started: immigration; border security; public school policy; public safety; gun rights or gun control; victim rights; student testing; school choice; abortion; access to public transportation or city services; energy, environment, conservation, or economic issues; healthcare (cost of medicines or health insurance, health care access); homelessness; the death penalty. Step 2: Find and read at least five articles from newspapers, magazines, or other online sources that highlight the government’s response to the issue. It is important that your articles do not only describe the issue or present opinions on the issue from general members of the public. Look for sources that communicate how government officials have responded or are responding to the issue. You will be asked to identify government officials by name in your articles. Ideas for sources include news articles; speeches from political candidates or current office holders; campaign ads; press releases; and data collected from non-profit organizations, among others. The website www.usa.gov can be a good starting point for learning about government responses to various issues. Other online sources for information about government policy and services could include (but are not limited to):Step 3: After completing your research and reflecting on what you’ve learned, fill out the Government in My Community template. You will respond to the following prompts: Step 4: Compile your reference list in the APA style.

Assignment – Forecasting and BudgetingForecasting is a crapshoot in finance. The firms still do it because forecasting helps with, among others, contingency plans and predicted future cash flows to evaluate a firm’s financing needs. Financial planning (used interchangeably here with forecasting) tools include the cash budget and pro forma statements.Download the assignment template below:Follow the instructions and complete both the Pro Forma and Cash Budget worksheets in the template.Discussion – Contributions to PlanningDirections:Planning is essential for the firm’s management to address the unavoidable problem: no one knows what will happen in the future. Managers, however, can reduce the risks that arise from uncertainty by having contingency plans that enable the firm to respond proactively to future difficulties. Planning for them involves people in many positions in the organization. Planning steps include gathering information about sales, analyzing historical data, making projections of future revenues, estimating costs, and others.Initial PostThink of yourself in a future position in a hypothetical manufacturing firm that produces baked cookies.

What is the role that art plays in Gates’ mission to revive a neighborhood?

Now that we have covered all of the content in this course, it is time to reflect! Watch the video below and complete this Reflection Discussion. After watching Theaster Gates’ TED Talk, go all the way back to Discussion Three and revisit your answer to: Do you think art has cultural value and what do you think its role in society is? Then answer the following: 1) What is the role that art plays in Gates’ mission to revive a neighborhood? And what did you take away from his talk?2) Has your answer to, ‘Do you think art has cultural value and what do you think its role in society is?’changed/expanded during this course? Explain.Can anything be Art?Whether anything can be classified as Art is an intricate and subjective question. Art, often described as a conduit for creative expression that evokes emotions, stimulates cognition, and conveys ideas, has evolved beyond traditional boundaries. While historically confined to visual mediums like paintings and sculptures, Art now encompasses an extensive spectrum of forms, including performance art, installations, digital creations, and even ordinary objects. Taking a broader outlook, one could posit that anything can be recognized as Art if it demonstrates inventiveness, expressiveness, and the ability to provoke a reaction (D’OLIMPIO, 2019). Art is a profoundly personal and individualized encounter, with each individual potentially interpreting and appreciating it in distinct ways. This inherent subjectivity allows for a rich textile of artistic expressions and interpretations.Cultural Value of ArtArt undoubtedly holds cultural value, reflecting and shaping societies’ beliefs, values, and identities. It helps preserve culture, convey stories, and comment on society. Art bridges cultural and language barriers, fostering debate and understanding. In society, Art plays multiple roles. It entertains and inspires, providing an escape from mundane realities and offering a space for imagination and introspection. Art can challenge societal norms and provoke critical thinking, fostering discussions about important social, political, and environmental issues (Crossick & Kasznska, 2016). It encourages empathy, fostering emotional connections and shared experiences among individuals. Additionally, Art can stimulate economic growth through cultural tourism and creative industries.Placing Value on ArtAssigning worth to Art is a multifaceted process that combines subjective and objective elements. Throughout history, the value of Art has been determined by factors such as artistic proficiency, historical significance, scarcity, and market demand. However, these conventional criteria have limitations and may neglect or underestimate certain art forms. A more inclusive approach to valuing Art could involve considering its cultural, social, and personal influence (Crossick & Kasznska, 2016). Art that challenges established norms, advocates for social justice, or amplifies the voices of marginalized communities may possess significant cultural value. The emotional and intellectual resonance it evokes in individuals and communities should also be considered. Furthermore, art education and thoughtful engagement with artworks can contribute to a more enlightened and comprehensive comprehension of their value. Generally, the worth of Art is subjective and differs among individuals. It is essential to recognize and embrace the vast array of artistic manifestations and the various ways they enrich our existence and contribute to the vibrant fabric of culture.
