World Culture Assignment 2: Project Paper

/in /by

  • Assignment 2: Project Paper

    The Project Paper focuses on a suggested topic related to art, architecture, history, music, or literature. The project will reflect your views and interpretation of the topic. This project is designed to help you stretch your mind and your abilities to be the creative, innovative, and critical thinker you already are!

    Choose one (1) of the topics from the list of topic choices below. Read the topic carefully. Write a four (4) page paper (900-1,000 words) that responds to each of the items described in the topic. 

    For the topic you choose:

    1. Support your ideas with specific, illustrative examples. If there are questions or points associated with your chosen topic, be sure to answer all of the listed questions and address all of the items in that topic. If your topic asks you to do several things related to the topic, be sure to do each of the things listed.
    2. While some of the topics tend to lend themselves toward particular writing genres, you are not restricted to the specific format suggested for the individual topic. For example, you may do an “interview,” a “proposal,” a “letter,” a “short story,” a “blog,” an “essay,” an “article,” or any other written genre for almost any of the topics. The project is intended to be fun as well as informative, so feel free to be creative with the delivery of your information.
    3. Use at least two (2) sources besides the textbook, which counts as one (1) source.

    Topic choices (pick 1): 

    • Office Art Memo. Memorandum. Your boss, who knows you have been taking a humanities class since he pays for your tuition reimbursement, has tasked you with managing the art budget for your company, expecting you to choose various pieces of art for the new corporate offices.  (Note: Replicas of the works are acceptable since they are more cost-efficient and you are working on a budget.)  Include the following: 
      1. Identify three (3) examples of 19th century Impressionist painting or sculpture and three (3) Post-Impressionist works. Explain how the six (6) pieces of art fall into these two (2) styles. 
      2. In a memo, describe the appearance of your six (6) choices to your CEO so he or she will know what the art looks like and where it would be placed in the corporate offices. 
      3. Explain why each piece is considered to be historically significant. 
      4. Explain how each piece “fits” your company’s overall (or desired) corporate image. Keep in mind that a piece of art is supposed to “say” something about the owner, so describe what would these pieces of art say about your company.
    • New Composition. Speech. Your uncle’s birthday is in two (2) months, and everyone knows that he loves almost all kinds of music. As a birthday gift for him, you want to have a special piece of music composed in his honor which will be played at a family birthday celebration. Write a speech that you will make to the composer’s agent. Include the following:  
      1. Narrow your choices down to three (3) composers you’ve studied in this course. Choose one (1) of the composers and explain why you want him to write the “birthday present” music. 
      2. Explain why the other two (2) composers were ultimately not selected. 
      3. Specifically identify the musical elements in the composer’s style that you would like to be included in the new music written for your uncle. 
      4. Describe what sort of emotion is generated by listening to the works of your selected composer; in other words, what do you want your uncle to “feel” as he hears the music, and why is this composer so perfect for this composition?
    • Harlem Renaissance Poets. Essay & Poem. Choose two (2) poems by different authors from the Harlem Renaissance. Write an essay that: 
      1. Describes each author’s role and importance within the Harlem Renaissance. 
      2. Identify the elements in each of their poems in which you see evidence of the “double-consciousness” being expressed by each author. 
      3. Describe the primary themes you see in the poetry written during this time period, referring to specific lines in each of the poems. 
      4. Write your own poem that expresses these identified themes of the Harlem Renaissance.  
    • Women’s Roles Then & Now. Script. Script a conversation between two (2) notable women from the 18th and / or 19th century on the roles women should play in society. Within the dialogue, include: 
      1. Biographical information for each woman. 
      2. The historical status for women in general during the time period in which each woman lived.
      3. What opinions each of the women might have on the role the women should play in society during their lifetimes. 
      4. What each of the women might think about women’s current roles.

    •Other topic choice recommended and approved by the professor and supported by the grading rubric.

    The Project Paper will be graded on:

    • The level to which the instructions were followed.
    • The extent to which all four (4) parts in the topic were addressed.
    • The adequacy of information, examples, and details which support the general claim or main  idea.
    • The clarity and relevance of the explanations and descriptions.
    • Adherence to standard rules of grammar, punctuation, and mechanics.

Check with your professor for any additional instructions specific to the selected topic. (Note:Students can find APA style materials located in the course shell for reference.)
    • Include a cover page containing the tile of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required page length. 

    The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

    • Explain how key social, cultural, and artistic contributions contribute to historical changes.

TESCO Accounting Scandal: Write a brief report and crisis press release sample (450 words)

/in /by

Background:

In 2014, Britain’s biggest retailer TESCO faces a crisis situation two weeks after announcing that it overstated its first-half profit expectations by some £250-million. TESCO reported on September 22, 2014 that its August 29 profit warning should have forecasted trading profit totalling £850-million, rather than the £1.1-billion that the company actually reported – an inflation of nearly 25%.

Scenario:

Imagine you are the PR practitioner in TESCO and you have to write a press release to announce this serious issue. However, before sending the press release to all the media, you have to write a letter to the CEO to reported on the issue and show him the press release sample. Therefore, this letter to CEO should contain the following information:

  • Brief of situation (150 words):

    First, introduce the main issue and how this problem was uncovered. (The problem was uncovered by a whistleblower from within Sainsbury, who sent an email to the in-house counsel, informing about the wrong figures.)

    Next, tell CEO you will send the press release to all the financial media, such as The Financial Times, because the TESCO scandal will mainly influence investors in the stock market, and those financial media are the main media investors read.

  • A Press Release Sample (300 words)
    (please follow the structure bellow)

Title:

(Ex. Apologize for overstating first-half results by £250m)

Content:

  • State the issue:

    Admitted that TESCO have uncover a serious issue, which is “the first-half profits were overstated by an estimated £250m.”

  • Possible cause of the issue

    Explain that the issue is “principally due to the accelerated recognition of commercial income and delayed accrual of costs, as well as timing differences. The problems were focused on the UK food business.”

  • Investigation

    TESCO take actions immediately, they asked Deloitte to undertake a comprehensive investigation of their accounts. For example, you can write: “Work is ongoing to establish the extent of these issues and what impact they will have on the full year.”

  • CEO’s Expectation

    Declare that four undisclosed senior directors who involved in this have been suspended while the investigation is undergoing. And emphasize on CEO’s expectation: “The board, my colleagues, our customers and I expect Tesco to operate with integrity and transparency and we will take decisive action as the results of the investigation become clear. (Please paraphrase it)”

  • Note that you will release additional information once you have more facts.

    Materials:
