Explain what you like or what you think works about each definition.

Consider these three potential definitions of music: DEFINITION 1 Music is “an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color.” (Definition 1 from “Music.” Dictionary.com. Web. 23 Apr. 2016. Note that “color” likely refers to “tone color,” another term for “timbre,” which is an element of music.) DEFINITION 2 Music is “the organization of sound in time and space.” (source unknown) DEFINITION 3 “Music is everything that one listens to with the intention of listening to music.” —Luciano Berio (As quoted on p. 112 of McAdams, Stephen, and Irène Deliège. Music and the Cognitive Sciences: Proceedings from the Symposium on Music and the Cognitive Sciences, 14-18 March 1988, Centre National D’art Et De Culture ‘Georges Pompidou’, Paris, France. Chur: Harwood Academic, 1989. Print.) Please respond analytically to each of these three definitions. Be sure to do the following for each of the three definitions: Explain what you like or what you think works about each definition. Argue against each definition, showing how it is too narrow or too broad, through the use of counterexample. (If you can find something that is music but doesn’t fit the definition, you can establish how the definition is too narrow. If you can find something that isn’t music but does fit the definition, you can establish how the definition is too broad.) Write about all three definitions using full sentences and good grammar, spelling, etc. Write at least 200 words.

SENTENCING MEMO

Corrections and Sentencing Sentencing Memo Assignment At a court hearing last week Tanya and her boyfriend Roberto each pled guilty for possession with intent to sell 2 bags of heroin to an undercover police officer. Each could receive a possible sentence of 4 ½ to 9 years’ imprisonment. Presentence investigation reports (PSIs) were completed and the interviewer discloses the following: Tanya is a 34-year-old mother with 2 children, ages 6 and 9. Documentation confirms a long history of substance abuse including a current addiction to heroin. Her mother currently has custody of the children but Tanya visits them regularly and tries to stay in the children’s’ lives. This is her first conviction for drug sales, although she has several misdemeanor convictions for drug possession and 1 felony conviction for grand larceny in 2006 where she received probation. She’s a high school graduate with roughly two years working in various office and restaurant jobs before her drug habit took control six years ago. She’s currently on public assistance and hasn’t worked in several years. Court records confirm that she has been a victim of domestic violence on 2 occasions, both involving Roberto. The presentence officer interviewing Tanya described her as bright, likes to cook, style hair, and has expressed interest in both the medical and legal fields. She wants to be drug free but says that due to her depression over her children and relationship with Roberto, hasn’t done anything about ridding herself of her heroin habit. Roberto is a 41-year-old parolee whose 3 previous convictions were for drug sales and burglary. He’s the father of Tanya’s 2 children and has been described as a caring father prior to his incarceration. He went as far as the 11th grade in school before dropping out to earn money for the family through factory work and off the books labor jobs. Once he came home in September 2018 his successes in finding entry level work were sporadic at best. As the holidays approached he went back to selling drugs before this most recent arrest. His last several drug screenings at parole have generally come back negative. Roberto’s parole officer states that his client was bright and seemed serious about doing better with his life but said his living arrangements were extremely unstable. He had been living with Tanya but the parole officer removed him after learning of the domestic violence incident with Tanya. He has 4 years left on parole. Roberto was living in a shelter at the time of his last arrest.

One paper from Prompt #2 One paper from Prompt#3 Prompt # 2Matilda’s marriage was failing, along with her courage. “What keeps me? The most prized possession I’ve got, I have to share with David.” Prompt #3He was surprised and frightened to see her. “What are you doing here? I told you not to come until after the full moon.” BELOW ARE JUST IDEAS EXAMPLE/SAMPLE FOR READ ONLY SAMPLE SCENE 1 Example Prompt Joseph hated confrontations, especially with his wife. “Esther, if you talk to me like that, you will get nothing that you want. When you’re calmed down, I’ll be willing to talk to you about it.” IDEAL OF STORY Joseph hated confrontations. He especially hated ones with his wife. He didn’t want one tonight, but it seemed imminent. He could always tell by the way her lips pursed when she took a drag off her cigarette. “Hi, Esther,” called Joseph, as he hung his wrinkled jacket on the coat rack. “How have you been today?” “Well, considering the state of things, I’m doing all right. Better than anyone could expect,” she replied, looking him in the eye as if her stare would burn into his conscience and his forehead. “What is it now, Honey?” he asked, resigning himself to sit through this for at least the next few minutes. “You know darn well what it is,” she snapped back, grinding her cigarette into the ashtray. “It’s that wretched woman next door. I know you talk to her all the time, and since she moved here you work on the lawn or wash your car 20 times more than before.” “I do not. It’s just that it bothers you now, and before I couldn’t do it enough to please you. If you ask me, it isn’t the neighbor on the right, it is the one on the left. That Joanne you call a best friend.” Joseph was tired. Sick and tired of all of her accusations. He finally let it out. She was shocked. “How can Joseph talk to me like that?” she thought indignantly. “This is it,” she yelled in his face. “I’m leaving. I’ll spend the night at Joanne’s. I’ll be back later for my stuff.” With that she stormed out of the house. “Don’t talk to me like that,” he yelled at her retreating back. “If you keep this up you’ll get nothing, nothing of what you want. When you’re calmed down, I’ll be willing to talk to you.” He heard his wife cry out, and watched as she stopped to light another cigarette. He turned the T.V. on to cover the noise before he locked the door to their house. ANOTHER EXAMPLE Esther stormed out of the room. She wanted no part of his rude anger. She went upstairs to lay on her bed, thinking, “What’s so wrong with wanting a car? It’s not like I asked for some fancy imported thing that we had to go to France ourselves to get. It’s just a Cadillac. We’ve been married for 24 years.” “Are you ready to talk now, Esther?” Joseph entered the bedroom and sat down beside his wife on the bed. “We just can’t afford to buy a new car now. Not on a teacher’s salary, anyway.” He was pleading with her. He wanted so much for her to understand. “How about a used car then, Honey?” Her eyes lit up with hope. “We’ll see. No promises.” Joseph kissed her cheek. He hated confrontations, especially with his wife. “That’s the story of our married life in two words.” Esther spit the words into her husband’s face as she got off the bed and away from him. “No promises.” Joseph got up then too, following her once again, trying to catch up with her. “That talk won’t get you what you want,” he said, as she slammed the bathroom door in his face. He felt like he was talking to a child, one of his students maybe, not his wife. “When you’re calmed down, we’ll talk about it.” .

Business approaches of Madame C. J. Walker

In Assignment 2, we ask you to choose one of two topic choices listed below on the subject of economic change and innovation in the period of the late 1800s and early 1900s, then use the Writing Guide provided in Blackboard to write a paper on the subject. One topic is on the individual level of pioneering entrepreneurs of the period, who developed distinctive strategies for the production and marketing of very different parts types of products. The other topic is on the macro level, exploring successful and unsuccessful government attempts to shape and regulate the changing industrial economy of the period.As you prepare and brainstorm your paper, first read and review what our Schultz textbook covers on the subject. Then, consider the other sources listed with each topic below. It is important that you review these sources carefully because you must use a minimum of three sources (from the list below) to write your paper.Be sure to review the other help (documents or video) provided by your instructor. For information on the SWS format, see the “Strayer Writing Standards” tab on the course menu.TOPIC CHOICE ONE: Innovative Entrepreneurs – Walker and FordHere you will focus on the business approaches of Madame C. J. Walker and Henry Ford. Both developed innovative and successful approaches in a time of rapid economic change. You will compare them in the way they started their respective businesses and the key innovative features that made each successful. One might find virtues, problems, and successes associated with both. You might see elements of each in strategies of later leaders and related issues even today.Sources: Schultz, p. 396-7 (only Ford is discussed in our textbook). For Madam C. J. Walker (1867-1919), see https://www.pbs.org/wnet/african-americans-many-rivers-to-cross/history/100-amazing-facts/madam-walker-the-first-black-american-woman-to-be-a-self-made-millionaire/. For Henry Ford, see https://www.history.com/topics/inventions/henry-ford.TOPIC CHOICE TWO: Government Economic Policies – Hits and MissesHere you will choose two historical examples from the following list: Prohibition; Hawley-Smoot Tariff; Sherman Antitrust Act; Pure Food and Drug Act; Federal Trade Commission; Civilian Conservation Corps; Agricultural Adjustment Act; the Wagner Act, and the Social Security Act. These are examples of government economic intervention or economic policy in the long period from 1870 to 1940. These might be thought of as burdensome government interference or as needed government regulation, depending on the example and one’s thinking on those things. For your paper, you will explore and describe each of your two examples, its historical context, and the reasons it arose. One might find virtues, problems and successes associated with both. You might see elements of each in examples in our current economy today.Sources: Schultz, p. 362-4, 367, 401-2, 417, 425-9, 432.
