Identify ways you meaningfully participated to help the organization function.

Inventory the last few years of your life, exploring those discovered in previous modules in this course. Gather as many relevant documents as you can think of that will assist you in completing this self inventory. Inventory the courses you completed, the work experiences you’ve had, and any life experiences that contributed to your professional development. Don’t forget to identify failures. Great lessons are learned from failures. Cite the documents used to help you create your inventory.Once the inventory is completed, reflect on any themes that emerged in terms of skill-sets, accomplishments and actions. Explain each. For example, did you develop specific communication, computer, management/leadership, or team building skills? Analyze the coursework/assignments/group work and extracurricular activities in which you engaged. Identify skills gained from these experiences. Do the same with work experiences. Identify ways you meaningfully participated to help the organization function. Did you manage, train, lead, complete, increase sales, create, implement, etc.?A little about me so you can have an idea:I moved from Spain and in the beginnings it was hard because of the English barrier.

Create short “executive summaries” or bullets points for the major facts and/or themes of each library article used for your research.

Each person in the group write a paper of three to five pages doubled-spaced (exclusive of references which will go on a separate page) which is to be submitted on the assigned date. This should include any additional material that you may have used but that the group has not chosen to include in your paper. Papers which are not referenced, poorly written, and with misspellings and grammatical errors will receive no credit. Late papers are not accepted. Individual PaperThere are two components to your individual paper:1. Create short “executive summaries” or bullets points for the major facts and/or themes of each library article used for your research. Include all your articles even if the information ultimately did not appear in the team presentation.2. Analyze your experience in your team as the semester progresses. It is helpful to keep a log of what transpires in your team and your reactions to team meetings, correspondence, decision making, etc.https://www.mergentonline.com/companydetail.php?compnumber=73271&isprintpage=1 l2. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/08/starbucks-ceo-kevin-johnson-we-plan-to-hire-5000-veterans-annually.html3. https://hbr.org/2019/09/starbucks-ceo-kevin-johnson-on-work-joy-and-yes-coffee4. https://stories.starbucks.com/leadership/kevin-johnson/5. https://www.businessinsider.com/interview-with-starbucks-new-ceo-kevin-johnson-2017-4

Write a research paper about values and technologypaperand explain the historical context, meaning, and cultural impact of the research topic.

As this is a writing intensive course, students are required to write a research paper. The paper should address a topic central to how technology shapes our values in contemporary society, how our values shape technology, or the interaction between technology and values. The paper should explain the historical context, meaning, and cultural impact of the research topic. It should be written for a general audience and take a position (thesis) on the topic it is addressing, supporting that position with relevant and appropriate source material in order to persuade the reader of the strength and validity of the thesis. The paper should display the writer’s comprehension of the topic being addressed by making and expanding on connections found in the source material and presenting them in a coherent and intelligible manner to the reader.Your course project consists of a 2400+ word research paper, which will be due in Week 13 and an Oral Presentation to the class in Week 15. To prepare for these assignments you submitted a research proposal in week 4, an outline and references in week 6, and a draft of your research paper in Week 10. Before beginning on your outline and references, be sure that you have reviewed the feedback on your draft from your instructor. Instructions for retrieving your written feedback can be found here (Links to an external site.).

Reflect on humans’ current relationship with technology, in particular digital technology and the internet, in light of the readings and discussions in class. What benefits does it provide and what obligations does it impose?

Reflect on humans’ current relationship with technology, in particular digital technology and the internet, in light of the readings and discussions in class. How do you we technology and how does it use us? What benefits does it provide and what obligations does it impose? In what way does our use of technology correspond with our values?

Analyze that data and write in into a report to be handed in to me via Canvas no later than April 29 at Midnight.

Zoo Primatology ProjectThe purpose of this project is to conduct an original research project. You will spend the semester coming up with a research question, reading articles, conduct a behavioral analysis of primates housed at the Hattiesburg Zoo, and write up your paper (including a literature review, methods, and conclusion). Now that you have a better understanding of the living primate species, you will come up with a question that you want to ask and choose one of the following species:• Black Howler Monkey• Ringtail Lemur• Crowned Lemur• Cotton-Top Tamarin• Black and White Ruffed Lemur• Lion Tail Macaque• DeBrazza’s MonkeyYou will conduct a combination of focal continuous and scan samples. You will then analyze that data and write in into a report to be handed in to me via Canvas no later than April 29 at Midnight. Raw data will also need to be turned in at that time. You can either scan your handwritten notes, or you may type them and submit them that way.

Write a review of three books, Fledgling, Butler; The Big Sleep, Chandler; and The Black Cat, Poe.

Write a review of three books, Fledgling, Butler; The Big Sleep, Chandler; and The Black Cat, Poe. And you only could use those three books. Your journal responses may be analytical, affective, associative (free association)–they may roam far afield from their original focus provided that said focus is an author or work on the syllabus. For example, a response to a character or episode in Siddhartha might move from the novel itself to a personal memory or train of thought triggered by your engagement of the text. No single entry should occupy more than one full page of your journal. The contents of the journal should be entirely or very nearly entirely your own thought, the only possible exceptions being, for example, your referring to events in a Poe story in order to analyze/interpret that story, your examining a Poe story in light of 1830s/1840s history or of Poe’s biography, or your opposing/disputing secondary or in-class critical response to Poe. In other words, your journal has no room for gratuitous (for its own sake) content, whether it’s plot summary, biographical or historical information, lecture notes, secondary criticism, or any other information not directly your own thought or strategically used to provoke or contextualize it.

Write an Analysis of “Pickman’s Model”

SummaryChoose one of the following stories to write about: a) “The Outsider,” b) “Pickman’s Model,” c) “The Call of Cthulhu,” d) “The Lottery.”Read the story two times to be sure you are familiar with it. Once you have thoroughly acquainted yourself with the characters, setting, plot, and theme, proceed to analyze the story using the lecture from Week Four called “Writing About Fiction.”Your introduction should be somewhat broad and discuss wider philosophical implications that the story raises. It should also include a thesis statement.The body of your essay should use specific examples from the text, and ideas from one outside source. Be sure to use at least one direct quote form an outside source. Weave the author’s name into the sentence that mentions his or her ideas, as well as his or her direct words. There is a link in Week Five with potential outside sources for all of the short stories.As for the conclusion, you will want to harken back to a more philosophical focus (in the intro) and synthesize what you raised in the body to help achieve a sense of closure.Be sure that you don’t end up writing a plot summary instead of a literary analysis. Writing an extended plot summary would definitely have a negative impact on your grade.Specific Requirements for Essay TwoYour introduction should have a thesis statement. Argue for this point of view all through the essay.Look for patterns or themes in the story.Use evidence (specific examples) from the text.Study the text with a critical eye. Don’t assume everything is great. Feel free to point out examples that you consider to be flaws in the story and/or the storytelling.Chose a method for analyzing the text. This can be found in the Handout in Week Four called “Writing About Fiction.”Your audience is the smartest person in this class, not your professor. Take a definitive stance when you write your essay. Don’t apologize or make excuses for being “new” to the process of analyzing fiction. Write with authority.Organize your literary analysis of one text.Try to focus primarily on one element of fiction as the dominant way you analyze your story. The six elements of fiction are explained in a link at the end of the lesson in Week Four called “Writing About Fiction.”Avoid writing more fifteen percent plot summary. Summarizing the plot of the story for the length of a nice healthy paragraph is necessary to bring your reader up to speed on the story; however, more than a one-paragraph plot summary would fall short of being a literary analysis; instead, it would end up being just a glorified middle school “book report.”Never assume that the reader has read the story you are discussing. Tailor your essay for those readers who have not read the story. Google “signal phrase purdue owl” if you still are not sure of what constitutes a signal phrase.Here are some quotations that Lovecraft said:The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.Toil without song is like a weary journey without an end.It is absolutely necessary, for the peace and safety of mankind, that some of earth’s dark, dead corners and unplumbed depths be let alone; lest sleeping abnormalities wake to resurgent life, and blasphemously surviving nightmares squirm and splash out of their black lairs to newer and wider conquests.We must realise that man’s nature will remain the same so long as he remains man; that civilisation is but a slight coverlet beneath which the dominant beast sleeps lightly and ever ready to awake. To preserve civilisation, we must deal scientifically with the brute element, using only genuine biological principles.If religion were true, its followers would not try to bludgeon their young into an artificial conformity; but would merely insist on their unbending quest for truth, irrespective of artificial backgrounds or practical consequences.I do not think that any realism is beautiful.Adulthood is hell.What I ask him about are his thoughts and dreams.Horror and the unknown or the strange are always closely connected so that it is hard to create a convincing picture of shattered natural law or cosmic alienage or ‘outsideness’ without laying stress on the emotion of fear.Here are some quotations that Shirley Jackson said in Let Me Tell You: New Stories, Essays, and Other Writings. Please don’t quote the longer quotations in their entirety. They are too long for an essay the length of Essay Two in WR 121. “Far and away the greatest menace to the writer—any writer, beginning or otherwise—is the reader.
