 Involving the evolution of American expansionism and global intervention, you will write a well-structured paper on the topic below. You will utilize chapters 2, 5 and 81 of the Stephen Kinzer book Overthrow: America’s Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq (provided as a PDF in Canvas module or can be acquired from Amazon, etc.), as your main focus and use your own research as contextual information. You will need to create a solid paper with a clearly defined thesis and argument. Pay attention to organization so that the paper flows logically and so the introduction, body and conclusion all make sense together. Requirements:

– This is in APA Format (GWC Library APA Citation Guide is in the modules along with other helpful information).- The requirement for this assignment is5 pages. This means 5 written, double-spaced, 12 pt Times New Roman font pages. This does not count for the works cited page at the end. You are not required to submit an abstract or a title page in your submittal. I expect to receive a submittal of no less than 6 total pages. Those with missing pages will be marked accordingly. – This will be submitted online to the Canvas upload drop box no later than May 17th, at 11:59pm.- Keep in mind plagiarism rules of the college and that the paper will be verified.

– This is a research paper but also leaves room for your feelings on the subject in light of the readings. Make sure you are focused on evidential support when expressing your opinion and your conclusion. This assignment should have a strong introduction, thesis, and related conclusion. You need to prove to the reader with evidence your position and justify the argument you are asserting in your paper.   PROMPT:“How did American foreign policy in three periods in question, (1890s, 1950s, and 1970s), inform interventionism abroad?” 1) In your paper address the three events discussed in the Kinzer book, (Philippine-American War, destabilization of Iran in 1953, and involvement in deposing Salvador Allende in Chile in 1973). Place them in the context of their time and how the political, social or economic influences of the period ultimately informed U.S. intervention abroad. Overarchingly, tie them together creating an argument about the nature of U.S. intervention in the 20th century. Were these moves justified in light of the contemporary climate? Why or why not?2) Address where these events fall in line with the stated desire of the U.S. to spread democracy abroad and to defend others from oppression. Give supportive evidence of your take on the events using outside primary and secondary sources (no fewer than 5 outside sources. This means not counting the Kinzer document as a sourceand not counting your text book). 1 Kinzer, S. (2006). Overthrow: America’s Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq. New York: Times Books. Ch 2 “Bound for Goo Goo Land,” 31-55, Ch 5 “Despotism and Godless Terrorism,” 111-128, Ch 8 “We’re Going to Smash Him,”170-194.

For each chapter of OB, you should read the entire chapter and take notes (which you will likely use on the respective assignment, as well as in your Midterm/Final Exam studying and other course work).  Once you have finished reading the Chapter, you should look at the “Post-Reading Questions” at the end of the Chapter and CHOOSE ONE of the Post-Reading Questions answer.  Alternatively, you can choose the “Journal Option” (Option 3 below). For each question set, you should write a 1-2 page typewritten response, being sure to use information directly from the documents themselves.  Each answer should also include at least one direct quotation from at least three of the sources referenced in the question (for a total of at least three quotes).  Each question set’s answer is worth a possible 2 points.

The three choices for Chapter One are (you should CHOOSE ONE to answer in 1-2 pages):

  1. In 1-2 pages, discuss the strengths and weaknesses of a centralized federal government, being sure to bring in specific examples and quotes from the primary source documents in this chapter.
  2. Write down what you think “all men are created equal” means today and what that type of equality would have looked like for minority groups in the new republic. Then, in 1-2 pages, discuss how realistic you think that type of equality would have been, being sure to use specific examples to support what you argue.
  3. JOURNAL OPTION: Write 1-2 pages of notes on all of the documents you read in this chapter and, at the end, write down 5 questions (i.e. phrases you don’t understand, “aha!” moments you had, contemporary things that you are comparing the reading to).  Please see the Journal Notes/Questions Guide (under “Files” for more guidance).  Notes/Questions should be typewritten and single-spaced.

Online Discussion #1: Selfies and Self-Portraits

4646 unread replies.4646 replies.

Selfies and Self Portraits

The word “selfie” became official when the Oxford Dictionary named it the word of the year for 2013. Below is the official definition from the Oxford Dictionary:

NOUN (plural selfies) informal: A  photograph (Links to an external site.)  that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a  smartphone (Links to an external site.)  or  webcam (Links to an external site.)  and shared via  social media (Links to an external site.) :  occasional  (Links to an external site.)  selfies are  acceptable  (Links to an external site.) , but posting a new picture of yourself every day isn’t necessary

Origin: Early 21st century: from  self (Links to an external site.)  +  -ie (Links to an external site.) .

The Oxford Dictionary defines “Self Portrait” as such:

NOUN: A  portrait (Links to an external site.)  of an artist produced or created by that artist.

 

There are many types of self-portraits. Some are realistic representation of the artist herself/himself. Others are created in ways to make a statement. And of course, there are many self-portraits that try to convey a mental or psychological reflection.  Self-portrait has been around for a long time. We have always view them as “art” regardless of the medium. That is until Photography comes around. If you recall, from your textbook, there was a time when mainstream society wonder if photography should be considered “art”. We currently find ourselves at a similar juncture with the rise of mobile phone. So here is my first prompt.

 

Before you start on the discussion, please browse through the following links. No need to memorize anything, just read for knowledge sake. Once you are done with these links, go to the bottom of this page and follow the directions in the “What now” section.

If you don’t understand the questions, ask me or a friend. If you don’t understand a particular term, look it up. Ask questions before you submit your response.

What now?

1. Read the teacher’s My prompt (below) 

2. Click reply to post your response

3. Begin your response by retyping or paste the previous person’s prompt. Then type your response to that prompt. Whatever your answer is/are, cite references (from textbook, articles that you browsed through the links, other articles/books you read, etc).

4. Finally, add your “My Prompt” so the next person can continue the dialogue.

The first student to respond to the teacher’s prompt will end his/her response with a “MY PROMPT”.  The student will post a question related to the discussion within this MY PROMPT. The next person that goes online will now answer the previous student’s prompt (you no longer answer the teacher’s prompt). This is how we continue and grow our dialogue. Try not to veer off topic. Always begin your post by quoting the previous person’s prompt.

 

Teacher’s “My Prompt”:

The discourse on whether a selfie is the same as a self-portrait has been raging for several years. Why do you think there is even a discourse? Is it because of the accessibility? Meaning anyone can pick up a mobile phone and snap a “self portrait”. Is it because the artist (the person taking the selfie) may not have been trained as an artist (in the traditional sense of art school)? And if you answer yes to the above 2 questions, is your perspective elitist? And if so, did you establish that perspective intuitively or is your perception tainted by social norms?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Online Discussion #2: Taking the self-portrait one step further

3939 unread replies.4444 replies.

Now that you have debated at length about the differences and similarities between selfies and self-portraits. I am sure you have noticed the line is quite blur depending on your perspective.

For this discussion, I’d like you to watch the following 2 TedTalk videos. Then I’d like you to post your thoughts on the video(s) as it/they relate to the topic of self-portrait. For this discussion, Every student will answer the teacher’s “My prompts”. There is no need to post your own prompt.

· https://ideas.ted.com/the-singular-art-of-the-self-portrait/ (Links to an external site.)

· https://www.ted.com/talks/liu_bolin_the_invisible_man (Links to an external site.)

Teacher’s “my prompts”: Why are these considered self-portraits instead of selfies? How much does the physical preparation and conceptual (idea) planning play a role in the audience’s (you) perception of these images? Does the label (self-portrait or selfies) effect our perception of these images? Does the label elevate these into “art”? Who decides what label to give these images?

Don’t give me yes or no answers. Tell us why you think a certain way and how did you come up with the answer(s) and reference your source(s).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Online Discussion #3: Ways of Seeing_Design in everyday objects and routines

8181 unread replies.8585 replies.

https://www.ted.com/talks/rob_forbes_on_ways_of_seeing (Links to an external site.)

This discussion is part of our lesson in learning how to see and how to recognize design in daily objects and images. Some of you are art, photography, or design majors, so this might be a very easy assignment. For those who are not, do not panic. As long as you participate and try, you will not go wrong. You will probably need a couple of days before you can post anything.

This is the process:

1. Please watch this video. Be patient. It may be boring at first but watch carefully.

2. Pay attention to the images you see every day. It can be something in your kitchen, on the way to work, in your closet, in the grocery store, etc…

3. Think about the video you saw, now take a picture (your cell phone is fine) of an image you see every day that you think can be a “design” – based on your understanding of the video you saw. I know, you may not know much about design or photography yet since class just started and you probably have never had an art/photo class before.

4. Post (embed) your photo on this discussion page.

5. Briefly discuss how the video you saw influenced your choice of image. Try to connect your photograph to design and photography. Go back to the video if needed. The easiest way is to write a bit about what you learned from the video. Then describe how the things you learned effected your choice of subject (that you photographed). In your description of your photograph, think in terms of visual elements (see list below). Try using the vocabulary from the visual element list.

·

· Visual Elements in art/photography:

· Line: What kind of lines are in the photograph? Curvy, straight, thin, thick? One single line? Multiple lines? Are the lines creating some kind of directions or movements? Is a natural line formed by the object itself (like an electrical line) or is it a group of objects that formed a line (like a bunch of cones lined up to form a line)?

· Shape: Are the shapes geometric or organic? One shape or many? Do they form a pattern?

· Space: Does the photograph seem to show depth? Shallow? What made this (like large cones in front and gets smaller as they move into the back – this creates depth)? Is there a spatial illusion? What about the negative/background space?

· Texture: Does the image/object feel rough? Smooth? Does it look wet? Shiny? If you could touch the surface what do you think it would feel like?

· Value: How dark is the darkest value? The lightest? Is there a long range of grays? Does the foreground or main object have the lightest or darkest value?

6. After you post yours, choose a classmate’s posting and comment on their post. Be kind and constructive in your comments.

Online Discussion #4: Campaign Photography

4141 unread replies.4141 replies.

Professor’s notes:

Campaign photography has been around since the 1960s. The photographs presented to the public play a role (directly or indirectly) in the voter’s ultimate decision at the poll. The photographer or photojournalist’s role is to document the candidates’ messages as well as the candidates as individuals. Both still and video photography are used in political TV and print ads. Traditionally TV and print political ads are highly valued in battle states and can close margins between candidates. This does not seem to be the case in the 2016 presidential election.

Below are a few links related to this topic. Please browse and get a feel for the subject before you respond to my prompts. Please feel free to look up additional articles that relate to your perspective. Please post those link(s) within your response so the rest of us may check them out.

Please post your response to my 2 prompts below follow by your own “My Prompt”.  As with the previous online discussion, the first student to jump on this discussion will post response(s) to the teacher’s “My Prompts. Each of you will post a response to the previous student’s  “My Prompt”.

 

 (Links to an external site.)

My Prompts:

I’d like you to take the concept of Campaign Photography one step further and consider social media in the mix. Consider the following prompts:

1. Did social media trump (pardon the pun) the place of traditional TV and print advertising in the 2016 election campaign?

2. Would social media still produce the same result/effect if there are no visual images attached?

Pharmaceutical Companies

Pharmaceutical Companies, Intellectual Property,

and the Global AIDS Epidemic

This case is provided at the end of chapter 3 of your text (Luthans and Doh). After reading the case, and performing research on the topic, answer the following questions: 1.) Do pharmaceutical companies have a responsibility to distribute drugs for free or at low cost in developing countries? What are the main arguments for and against such an approach? 2.) What are the principal arguments of pharmaceutical companies who oppose making exception to IPR laws for developing countries? What are the arguments by NGOs and others for a differential treatment? 3.) What impact would you expect South Africa’s decision to levy duties on drug imports from Western nations to have on the international distribution of drugs to South Africa? 4.) In June 2002, the WTO extended the transition period during which least-developed countries (LDCs) had to provide patent protection for pharmaceuticals. In your opinion, do you think this is an appropriate change in policy, or a dangerous precedent? What could be some of the negative ramifications of this resolution? What about effects for other industries? 5.) Given the initiatives announced by global development and aid organizations and among pharmaceutical companies themselves, was it necessary to relax IPR rules in order to ensure that adequate supplies of AIDs medications would be available for distribution in the developing world? 6.) What role do MNCs have in providing funding or other assistance to international organizations such as the Global Fund?

How did WWII change the attitudes of women and minorities toward their status in American society?

/in /by

Please use information below to formulate a 5 paragraph essay in response to this question.  No page or character limits. MUST include in text citations in APA format and reference list in APA format.

DUE WITH IN 3 HOURS!

 

American women and minorities believed their status after WWII changed greatly. Though their actions were not hornored or recognized, they proved that they were capable of performing the many of the same jobs that white males had done prior to the war. Their war efforts provided them with a sense of pride and self-accomplishment. Though many of the services they performed came to an end or were disbanded after the wars end they were motivated to continue to make changes for future generations. This motivated many to become involved in politics and legislation.

 

Women were allowed to enter service.. ranks?

 

Women Flew for the first time

 

Women both white and African American served side by side.. first time?

 

Minorities: The Tuskegee Airmen  igroup of African-American military pilots (fighter and bomber) who fought in World War II. Officially, they formed the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the United States Army Air Forces.

 

Who was Carmen Contreras-Bozak, and why was she important?

 

Government/legislation positions?

 

After the wars end, though some of the great things they were doing during the war came to an end, they paved the way for many to follow in their footsteps.

1:  Discuss about most relevant and significant tools that can potentially be used to protect business records of a company?

 

Documents, laptops, cell phones, and storage devices such as usb and flash drives should be secured by being locked up in an office, safe, or cabinet. There should be a limited of employees with access to the key and information. Paper files with business or consumer information must be shredded and discarded. It is better to shred the paperwork in house.  A  company I had previously worked for used to hire a company to shred their paperwork for them. Everyone would pile the sensitive information into a large locked bin, then the ‘shredders’ would pick up the bins and dump the paperwork into their trucks for shredding. On one occasion, the person picking up the bins accidentally dropped it and the papers spilled out and blew across the parking lot! Of course, strong passwords are necessary to secure sensitive data as well as encrypting information, establishing firewalls, anti virus programs, and hiring IT personnel.

Working for H&R Block, we are required to put all documents with client information in a locked filing cabinet and anything that needs to be shredded is put into a locked box with a small slot on the top. There is a separate company that comes once a month and takes the locked box loads it into their truck and leaves us a new box. They take the full box back to their plant where they burn the paperwork. I feel it would be better for us to shred the papers immediately in the office and dump it into another box that would then be burned. Client’s information must be protected just as a business’s information should be also.

Every business is different but based on the You Tube video it is clearly defined that business should store and protect certain documents.  Financial documents and documents that contribute to the day to day activities should be stored and protected to prevent thefts, unauthorized viewing, and natural disasters. According to the video if there are only hard copies of these documents it is important to make e-copies to provide a back up in case of a loss.  Hard copies should be properly secured and somewhere and somehow to prevent destruction from natural causes.  There were links provided along with the video that provide tools and information about the standards and best practices for information governance.  Since every business is different these resources provide guidelines.  One of the links http://www.arma.org/r2/standards-amp-best-practices#Standards shows best practices and generally accepted record keeping principles.  The article from Intuit http://quickbooks.intuit.com/r/money/what-you-need-to-know-about-small-business-record-keeping/ provided information for the video and also provides best practices for record management and protection.

 

4:Do you think perceptions of American Muslims and Muslims in general have changed since 9/11? If so, are these changes justified? Why? If not, why do you believe they have not changed?

 

5:Before World War I and II, anti-Semitism was more prevalent than it is today. Does anti-Semitism still exist? In what forms?

 

6:I know they have changed. Before 9/11 we never really said much about someone being Muslim. Now, everyone seems to think that they’re all terrorists or generally avoid them. They make judgments of Muslims and their religion based off of the media instead of actually getting to know them. I had a Muslim girl in my class in High school. She was really nice to anyone who actually attempted to include her. However, I noticed that even a few of the people who would talk to her seemed stiff and unnatural around her simply because she wore the head scarf (I’m sorry, I don’t remember what it’s called.). I watched everyday as people who didn’t even know her crossed the hall to avoid her and then have to cross back just to go to class. It made my heart hurt every time I saw it because she’s a really sweet person who has the right ideals at heart, but just because of her religion, people didn’t even want to try to get to know her.
