Introduction:
 

“Knowledgeable interaction with works of art makes life better: We see more of what can be seen, and we hear more of what can be heard. Our entire existence grows richer and deeper.” (Sporre, 2009, p. 2).

From your studies, you have seen how culture, societal norms, belief systems, and past experiences affect the way people view the world. Learning about these differences in perspective helps us to have a better understanding of the overall human experience. Whether analytical skills are applied to a task at work, or a humanistic point of view enables us to grasp an issue from another angle, these methods of looking at the world help us become more aware of our perceptions and provide a deeper and more meaningful existence.

In this task, you will analyze and interpret three creative works from three separate disciplines of the humanities using methods of subjective and objective analysis. Objective statements are based on simple observations and concrete information. Subjective statements are based on personal opinions, judgments, and feelings. These standard methods of analysis will enable you to critically view and interpret works from the humanities. You will use analytical and critical thinking skills to assess how meaning is constructed and imparted to a viewer or audience and will communicate your thoughts in a multimedia presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote). While the content of your presentation will focus on analyzing, interpreting, comparing, and contrasting three creative works from separate disciplines, your overarching goal will be to explain how the three works you analyze demonstrate the value of the humanities in meaningful ways.

Background:

Develop a multimedia presentation in which you analyze three creative works from three separate disciplines in the humanities. You will need to select works that share a common theme. This theme must relate to a profession within your field of study at WGU. You will share with your audience how being knowledgeable about the humanities and your selected theme is valuable in regards to this profession.

First you must choose one literary work from the given list below. Choose a literary work that has a theme that resonates with you and consider how this theme connects with your chosen profession. Every profession within your field of study at WGU (Business, IT, Nursing or Teaching) will have humanistic considerations. For example, a civil rights lawyer may be concerned with the theme of freedom, a firefighter with determination, a social worker with compassion, or an engineer with integrity. It is the intent of this task to explore the major themes of the humanities and their relevance to our professional lives.

Once you have selected a literary work, you will need to select two non-literary works from separate disciplines that share the same theme as the literary work you have selected. Your presentation will show how all three works connect to the theme that you have chosen, and how that theme relates to  a profession within your field of study at WGU. The two nonliterary works you select must come from the following disciplines: two-dimensional visual art (e.g., painting, photography, printmaking,), music or film (feature films, documentaries). You should choose works that appeal to you personally, are striking to you in some way, and/or evoke a strong response in you. In the presentation, you will show how exploration of the themes of these works  can enhance performance in your profession and deepen your understanding of the human experience.

Note: Your multimedia presentation should contain 25 to 30 slides. This is not a conventional PowerPoint presentation. You may find that the majority of your slides are most effectively presented in paragraph form, with some utilizing the more traditional bullet point format. You are encouraged to use first person narrative (“I” statements) where appropriate. Your presentation should be self contained and all information should be on the slides (do not use speaker notes). Arrange slides in a way that creates cohesion and flow and use images to accentuate and substantiate points.

Note: This presentation should demonstrate the depth of the analysis and reflection that you have done. Your challenge will be to communicate your points through a series of clear, focused, and concise slides that represent your knowledge and convey your unique analytical points and insights.

Select ONE work of literature from the following list (works are available online).

NOVELLAS:
Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy, 1886
The Invisible Man by H. G. Wells, 1897

SHORT STORIES:
“The Package” by Kurt Vonnegut, 1952

“Silver Water” by Amy Bloom, 1993
“The Third and Final Continent” by Jhumpa Lahiri, 1999
“The Lost ‘Beautifulness’” by Anzia Yezierska, 1920
“The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury, 1950
“The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World” by Gabriel García Márquez, 1968

POEMS:
“That the Science of Cartography is Limited” by Eavan Boland, 1994

ESSAY:
“A Talk to Teachers” by James Baldwin, 1963*
* While the essay title addresses teachers, this work has themes that can apply to all professions.

Select two creative works from the following disciplines (each work must be from a different discipline):

•  Two-dimensional visual art (e.g., painting, photography, or printmaking)

•  Music

•  Film (feature film or documentary)

Note: Please do not select a film, artistic, or musical adaptation of your literary choice as one of the non-literary creative works. While it is important to select a literary work and two non-literary works that share a common theme, it is equally important to include variety in your choices. For example, you should not choose The Great Gatsby as your literary work and a film adaptation of this same novel, and a picture of Jay Gatsby.

Discussion 1 Economic Order Quantity

Analyze the following scenario: Meals for the Homeless buys 30,000 large cans of green beans each year.  The cost of each can of beans is $4.  The cost to place an order for beans, including the time of the employee placing the order, shipping, and so forth, comes to $20 per order.  The out-of-pocket carrying costs (for storage, etc.) are $0.30 per can per year.  In addition, Meals calculates its interest at 5 percent.  How many cans should be ordered at a time?  How many orders should there be each year?  What are the total ordering costs and carrying costs at the EOQ?  Contrast the total of the ordering costs and carrying costs at EOQ to the total ordering and carrying costs if the cans were all ordered at the beginning of the year.  (You will need to read and understand Appendix 7-A to complete this discussion).  Clearly label the calculations of the economic order quantity using Excel (you may attach your Excel worksheet to your discussion post in your online classroom).  Use formulas to calculate the EOQ and format the cells to insert a comma if there is more than three numbers.  Round to the nearest whole number.  Explain the advantages and disadvantages of EOQ in a Word document not to exceed 200 words.  You must respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings to receive full credit.

 

Discussion 2  Internal Controls

Joy Becket is the director of Eyeglasses for the Poor (EP).  EP receives donations of eyeglasses and recycles them for use by the nearsighted needy around the world.  Sometimes the eyeglass frames are expensive designer frames that can be sold to raise operating funds for the organization.  Joy is concerned that EP’s resources are not adequately safeguarded.  This problem is compounded by the fact that there are relatively few employees so separation of duties is difficult.  She does know that if anything goes wrong (i.e. waste of resources, embezzlement), she will be held responsible.  Therefore, she has called you in as an expert consultant in the area of accountability and control.  She has asked you to recommend specific procedures and policies for enhancing the internal controls for the organization.  Write a one-page memo identifying policies and procedures she should consider adopting.  Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.

 

Autism Spectrum Disorder is characterized as a disorder where children display deficits in: a) social interaction, b) verbal and nonverbal communication, and c) repetitive behaviors or interests (National Institute of Mental Health, 2007). Visit AutismSpeaks.org (http://www.autismspeaks.org/?gclid=CKH1moq3v7ICFak7Mgodg3QAlQ) and review the Family Services and Sciencetabs focusing on one of the tool kits and on one of the articles.

1. Compare and contrast the information presented in the website and the information presented in your textbook.
2. Describe the practical implications of the information provided at AutismSpeaks.org on families caring for a child with Autism.

Phrases from the text:

• “When autism was first diagnosed and described in the early 1940’s, parents of children with autism were often regarded as intelligent people of high socioeconomic status who were also “cold” (Turnbull et al., 2006).
• “Autism is a developmental disability that significantly affects a student’s verbal and non-verbal communication, social interaction, and educational performance” (Turnbull et al., 2006). 
• “Scientist still have yet been able to pinpoint the definite cause of Autism. Aside from biological factors, environmental contributions to autism include toxic exposures to chemicals (e.g. lead, arsenic, methylmercury) and exposure in early pregnancy to thalidomide, valporic acid, and prenatal rubella infection” (Turnbull et al., 2006).
• chapter eleven from our textbook states that “Recent figures report that one out of 70 boys and one out of 315 girls are identified as having Autism Spectrum Disorder” (Turnbull et al., 2006).
• For children who have Autism, Early Intervention Therapies are available. These early intervention therapies include Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and the Early Start Denver Model. “Applied Behavior Analysis is the use of techniques and principle to bring about meaningful and positive change in behavior” (Turnbull et al., 2006).

 

 

 

300 words minimum

APA format

In a three- to four- page paper (excluding the title and reference pages), reflect on an important professional change that you have experienced. Compare your change story to one of the stories from the beginning of Chapter 1 of the text. Answer the following questions and support your thoughts with at least two scholarly sources.

In your paper you must:

• Describe your change story and the one selected from Chapter 1 of the text.
• Discuss the common issues and lessons present in both stories.
• Identify and discuss the embedded lesson found in the four change stories of Chapter 1.
• Describe how you might use the lessons as a solutions template during future change strategies.

Your paper should include in-text citations and references for at least two scholarly sources, in addition to the course text, and it should be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Complete the following homework scenario:

• Required:
  Compare the results of the three (3) methods by quality of information for decision making. Using what you have learned about the three (3) methods, identify the best project by the criteria of long term increase in value. (You do not need to do further research.) Convey your understanding of the Time Value of Money principles used or not used in the three (3) methods. Review the video titled “NPV, IRR, MIRR for Mac and PC Excel” (located athttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7CryVgFbBc and previously listed in Week 4) to help you understand the foundational concepts: 

  Scenario Information:
  Assume that two gas stations are for sale with the following cash flows; CF1 is the Cash Flow in the first year, and CF2 is the Cash Flow in the second year. This is the time line and data used in calculating the Payback Period, Net Present Value, and Internal Rate of Return. The calculations are done for you. Your task is to select the best project and explain your decision. The methods are presented and the decision each indicates is given below.

  Investment	Sales Price	CF1	CF2
  Gas Station A	$50,000	$0	$100,000
  Gas Station B	$50,000	$50,000	$25,000

  Three (3) Capital Budgeting Methods are presented:

  1. Payback Period: Gas Station A is paid back in 2 years; CF1 in year 1, and CF2 in year 2. Gas Station B is paid back in one (1) year. According to the payback period, when given the choice between two mutually exclusive projects, the investment paid back in the shortest time is selected.
  2. Net Present Value: Consider the gas station example above under the NPV method, and a discount rate of 10%:
     NPV_{gas station A} = $100,000/(1+.10)² – $50,000 = $32,644
     NPV_{gas station B} = $50,000/(1+.10) + $25,000/(1+.10)² – $50,000 = $16,115
  3. Internal Rate of Return: Assuming 10% is the cost of funds; the IRR for Station A is 41.421%.; for Station B, 36.602.

  Summary of the Three (3) Methods:

  • Gas Station B should be selected, as the investment is returned in 1 period rather than 2 periods required for Gas Station A.
  • Under the NPV criteria, however, the decision favors gas station A, as it has the higher net present value. NPV is a measure of the value of the investment.
  • The IRR method favors Gas Station A. as it has a higher return, exceeding the cost of funds (10%) by the highest return.
