The Temple of Athena Parthenos (The Parthenon) on the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, is one of the most famous and influential monuments from antiquity. The sculptures that once decorated the building are considered among the greatest masterpieces of Western art. They are now at the center of a stirring cultural heritage debate that pits Greece (the sculptures’ country of origin) against England (the sculptures’ legal owners). In this Discussion assignment, you will be asked to adjudicate this debate.

You are the head of a United Nations committee that will decide whether or not the British should return the Parthenon Sculptures to Greece. Because there are strong feelings on both sides of the debate, you must be very clear about your decision and the reasoning behind it. In your original comment, tell us what you decide and why. Use your replies to explore issues or other possible decisions; do not simply repeat your own position on the matter.

Review Pages 102-103, 131-135 in your textbook and review the resources listed in the Parthenon Sculptures Study Guide Answer the following prompt with an original comment
and then read and reply (50 words min.) to at least two other student comments.

You must use the information and example form the book and study guide. The point is to SHOW YOU READ THE BOOK.

Please review my requirement carefully. I will send you the book and study guide.

I have two arguments that I need to explain to answer the question. Those argument are:

• Immigrants have the right to be allowed in our country because this country was built by immigrants. People are coming here to look for a better life and therefore, as a wealthy country we are obligated to provide them with this opportunity.
• Immigrants positively benefit US economy. Immigrants are
  employers, employees and consumers. This means that they create jobs, pay
  taxes and spend their money on goods and services. From utilitarian perspective
  not allowing such an advantage would be a harm to the benefit of American
  people.

I have to take a stand that we are obligated to allow immigrants in our country. Please don’t mention anything about not that we are not.

Also, besides the written answer I need power point presentation. Max 4 slides.

In this assignment you are addressing how to create a media communication plan for the response phase.

Put yourself in the role of an emergency manager who is doing initial work on response plans for the type of critical incident shown in the Riverbend City scenario— a man-made accident. You are the Riverbend City media liaison tasked with helping the following groups create media plans for the response phase of an emergency:

• Emergency and government managers.
• First responders.
• Business leaders.
• Heads of families or households
• Personnel in charge of or dealing with special needs groups such as the elderly, non-English speaking people, children, et cetera.

FEMA recently put a lot of attention on core capabilities directly related to the response phase of an emergency. In your position as media liaison, prepare an example press release that addresses a summary of the specific core capabilities.

Your purpose is to introduce the target audience to what goes into a well-rounded media communication during the response phase. Use your personal and professional experiences, your readings, as well as situations you have seen in the Riverbend City scenario that would lend themselves to planning media communication during the response phase. Be sure to cite your resources.

In your press release:

1. Provide summaries of the following core capabilities directly related to the response phase:
   • Public information and warning.
   • Situational assessment.
   • On-scene security, protection, and law enforcement.
   • Critical transportation.
2. Develop one example, using the train derailment/chemical spill as your context, that illustrates each of the four core capabilities (public information and warning; situational assessment; on-scene security, protection, and law enforcement; and critical transportation).
3. Create a plan for implementing one of the response measures you have identified.

Requirements

The press release should be 3–4 pages, not including a title page and the references page(s).

Keywords: A, B, C, D

Introduction

Discussion of film 1

Discussion of film 2

(you could move between two films but must provide smooth transitions in between)

Conclusion

Bibliography listed in a separate page (at least 4 sources from the syllabus, items listed in required books and other references)

e.g.,

Author’s name, Book Title (City: Publisher, year).

Author’s name, “article title,” Volume Title, ed. Editor’s name (City: Publisher, year), pp. #-#.

Author’s name, “article title,” Journal Title, volume #, issue # (year), pp. #-#.

I. Commentaries
• Purpose: to cultivate the habits of critical reading by making arguments and providing evidence
• Content: identify an argument (not merely a topic) from a required reading (with direct quotations and
page numbers) and discuss it in relation to the designated film of the day
• Focus: your ability to articulate someone else’ argument and state your interpretation of a film in
relation to that argument; mere factual information or plot summary won’t count as argument
• Length: 1 double-space page or 350 words for each short paper; the portion in excess of the limit will
not be graded for credit
• Grading: out of 10 points for each commentary, 3 for identification of an argument and logical
transition, 3 points for film discussion focused on details, and 4 for writing (grammar, expression,
coherence, style)
II. Final Exam
• Purpose: to test your knowledge of readings and films and to develop your analytic skills with regard to
authors, themes, and styles
• Format: 4 short essay questions, each of them answered in 8 lines or less, focused on the texts and/or
films covered in class per instructions
• Grading: 5 points for each question, 20 points total for the final
Writing Style Sheet
• always indicate your name in the first page of your writing
• in general, use the MLA reference style
• for commentaries, no separate reference items are needed; but for the term paper, a complete list
of works cited is required, and any incomplete listing would cost points
• format the title of a film, a book, or a journal in italic or underline: Shower, Shower
• indicate the title of an article in a journal or a volume with quotation marks
• add in a parenthesis the author’s name (if not identified in the text), a short title (if an author has
more than one cited work), and page numbers after all direct quotations: “…” (L. Lee, “Cinema”
37-38); use the author’s name, not the volume editor’s
• be sure proper names are spelled correctly
• in the Chinese case, remember the family name goes before the given name: Feng Xiaogang
(hence, Mr. Feng rather than Mr. Xiaogang)
• reduce functional phrases and repetitions like “I believe” or “in Leo Lee’s article, Lee writes …”
• spell-check grammar and fix typographic errors
• read your paper one more time before printing; hand-written corrections cost you points
• for those in need of assistance with English writing, seek help from campus resources and your
native-speaking friends

• Grading
The term paper itself counts for 40% of your course grade. You will be graded on your mastery of the
relevant facts and arguments, your originality in developing analysis, and the effective way your paper is
organized and written. Specifically, originality = 2 points, analysis = 12 points (i.e., 6 points each film),
writing = 16 points (i.e., legitimate title = 1 point, 4 listed key words = 2 points, structure = 2 points,
transition = 2 points, grammar = 2 points, spelling = 2 points, in-text reference = 2, etc.), use of sources =
10 points (i.e., logical incorporation = 1.5 points each, complete citation = 1 point each).
• Content
First, your paper must be comparative; namely, choose to compare two of these films: Plunder of Peach
and Plum, It’s My Day Off, Ermo, and Suzhou River. You may focus on a similar theme, a shared critical
problem, or a combination of some of them.
Second, your paper must be researched; namely, citing what critics have said about the directors and/or
films you are discussing and indicating how you respond to their interpretations. You must use at least 4
print sources assigned in the syllabus. Each article in an edited book counts as one source, but merely
listing sources without incorporating them in analysis does not make your paper a researched one.
Third, your paper must be critical; namely, examining texts in detail and engaging different arguments in
relation to the issues you are addressing. This also means that you have to maintain your own line of
arguments while moving between primary and secondary sources. A summary of narrative plot or
biographic information is descriptive rather than critical.
• Form
This is an individual assignment. Do not work on it jointly as you might study together for exams or
team projects, because two papers similar to each other will likely lower grades for both papers. Do not
submit a paper that you have submitted or are writing for any other class.
The paper must be written in your words, not paraphrased out of a secondary source or plagiarize from
any source You must give full bibliographical citations at the end of your paper on a separate page
(exclusive of the page limit), and make sure your style is consistent throughout the paper.
Papers must be typed, double-spaced (not 1.5 spaced), with one-inch or larger margins on all four sides
of the page. The length is limited to 3 pages, excluding references. Most students do better writing a
carefully edited three-page paper than writing a longer paper that is sloppy. Papers not meeting these
specifications will be returned without grading. Faulty spelling, grammar, punctuation, and format style
will cost you points, so proof-read your writing carefully.
