Global Citizens Assignment

/in /by

In recent years, online music streaming services have arrived and started to take over purchasing hard copies of CDs. In light of this we will look at the way artists are paid via music streaming services and music downloads. As it stands now, the payout for a single music download is $.091 cents per song (with $01.75 cents per minute for songs over 5 minutes). The payout for streaming music varies across countries and streaming services, so for the purposes of this discussion we will focus on the online service SPOTIFY.

Assignment:

Based on your research and discussion activities this week on File Sharing and Artists Royalties and Compensation for Online Music sales, propose a new law covering Global Internet sales (a hypothetical international law) which will help protect artist rights and ability to be compensated for creative works. Your new “law” needs to address these issues: 1. Artists Royalties and Compensation for Music Downloads and Streaming, both for performance and composition, 2. File Sharing law.

Present a short defense of your position on each issue and how the law supports artists rights (or not). Assume you are not bound by existing US or International regulations, but take into consideration the differences in US and European compensation and protection policies as they exist today. This “law” should be well written in a simple, easy to read form (no “legalese” needed) and should be short and to the point. You need to cite any materials you use from your research.

Rubric:

You will be graded on the inclusion of all of these issues in your “law”, as well as on the thoughtfulness of your research informed defense of your position.

  1. How artists royalties are determined for performers (Named artist on recording, other musicians on recordings) and composers and arrangers:
  • Percentage of sales for each (named artist, musicians, composer, arranger)
  • streams
  • downloads
  1. File Sharing from:
  • public sites
  • private sharing.
  1. Defend your choices, based on your research and discussion of this topic this week, describing how this law is fair to all parties – artists, online Music distributors and/or record companies, as well as consumers. References to existing law or other research should be included.

Demonstrate college-level communication, writing homework help

/in /by

Demonstrate college-level communication through the composition of original materials in Standard American English.

As you have learned during this class, the many methods of research available make it helpful to think through the different options prior to determining which research method is appropriate for your study. It is important to think of what is most needed from your study results when choosing what method to use. If a researcher wants to study an exercise intervention for reducing depression, s/he might study this approach in depth with one person using a single case study, s/he might try to study this by watching people and collecting observational data, s/he might survey people on their rates of exercise and their moods, s/he might collect data from people who regularly use their gym membership and people who do not in terms of their mood, or s/he might randomly assign people to receive or not receive an exercise intervention. Different research designs yield different data. The data obtained, in turn, impact the conclusions that can be made and the implications of study results for professionals working in the field.

For this expository essay, you will identify uses, strengths, and limitations for main study methods discussed in class for a topic of interest (ideally the topic you have used for the course learning activities, but this is not required). You will then choose which of these methods you think is best for studying your research question and design a study using the chosen method. You will present hypothetical findings, discuss limitations of your study, discuss areas for further research, and discuss how your study findings could be used by professionals in the field.

  • Compose your paper in a Word document
  • Title and Reference pages are required
  • The viewpoint and purpose should be clearly established and sustained
  • The paper should follow the conventions of Standard American English (correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling)
  • The writing should be well ordered, logical and unified, as well as original and insightful

See the prompt
THE ASSIGNMENT

The Board of Directors has asked the Chief Marketing Officer (your manager) to present, at the upcoming board

meeting, how the company will use data collection and predictive analytics to drive sales while respecting

customers’ concerns about privacy.

It’s a challenge to balance protecting the relationship with the customer and maximizing the company’s revenue.

In preparation for her presentation to the Board, the Chief Marketing Officer has asked you to write a brief paper

on the practices you intend to use to achieve this balance. You will need to consider how far you will go in using

predictive analytics and where you will draw the line on what is ethical when it comes to collecting data about

customers. For example, consider what the reaction of customers will be to your data practices, what the

potential marginal increase in sales will be and whether it is worth risking the trust of customers, how your

competitors may respond, what data privacy laws may be enacted, etc.

You may use resources beyond the assigned reading. If you do, include citations in footnotes

    Factoids ENG 101

    /in /by

    We’ve all heard assumptions that are repeated so often that they become accepted as facts. We call these speculations factoids. According to Jolene Creighton in her article “50 Facts that are really Factoids”, a fact is based on observations repeatedly verified. This is especially true in science. Yet even here, the facts may evolve. If the context or tools of observation change, it may turn out not to be a fact any longer. But this process of verification is not present when we look at a factoid. Here we have statements “based on an assumption—something that has never been confirmed.” Sometimes websites act like factoids, full of assumptions and speculations that have not been verified. In this exercise we will look at a factoid or a suspicious website and examine its veracity. Read the prompt below “7 why should I trust this” – find a factoid or suspicious website (you can do your own search, ask friends, or check sites below for examples). – observe all you can about it. – check for previous fact-checking (explore fact checking websites about this factoid or site) – go upstream (trace claim to an original source; check other sites that say same thing and look if there is common evidence) – if possible, read laterally (check what other people have written about the factoid or website). – write report (one paragraph that presents the factoid or website, main characteristics, your research, your analysis). – write reflection (what have you learned doing this research?) after you are done, – In Ex 7 Factoids Google Doc folder, read two classmates’ reports and respond to them. BE CAREFUL – make comments but do not erase or edit anything!!

    Servant Leadership in Diverse Contexts

    /in /by

    While servant leadership is often associated with Christianity and the Bible, one could argue it is compatible with most religions and philosophies and that it transcends cultures. This assignment presents you with an opportunity to explore other cultures, philosophies, and religions and asks you to think critically about how servant leadership practices are apparent in other religious and cultural values.

    Select one cultural context and one religious viewpoint (other than Christianity, its denominations, or something already discussed in the textbook) and examine how the principles of servant leadership are evident in that culture and religion. In a 1,250-1,500-word essay, identify similarities and differences between servant leadership’s philosophies and the values evident in the selected cultural context and religious viewpoint. Be sure to provide specific examples of practices and/or values in your discussion.

    You are required to locate two articles that examine servant leadership from a different cultural perspective and two articles that examine servant leadership from a different religious perspective. Be sure to select academic articles from reputable sources that are 10-20 pages in length. Include information from the articles in your discussion.

    Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is/is not required.

    This assignment uses a grading rubric. Instructors will be using the rubric to grade the assignment; therefore, students should review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment
