Requirement:

Research Project Over the course of the semester you will be investigating an individual research project involving contemporary art. This project should answer a particular research question and not merely be a biography of a selected artist or overview of a theme. The final paper should be eight pages (double- spaced, 12pt font, 1″ margins) and make use of primary and secondary sources. The assignment will be broken into a research proposal, annotated bibliography, outline and draft, mini-presentation, and final version.

Note: Could you please give me a proposal about this essay before tmr noon. This proposal just include several sentences. Thank you!!

1- In The Honor Code, Appiah introduces several definitions of honor. Additionally, he makes reference to the idea of an ‘honor world’ (20). Later he advances the claim that dueling was a class specific practice and that it was possible for the honor act of dueling to be dishonorable if the duel were not with someone of the Aristoracy. Put differently, dueling was an act of honor when done among gentleman. If someone were not a gentlemen, they would not be taken to be of the same honor world and thus the value of the duel was shifted from honor to dishonor. The person of the Aristocracy would be seen as foolish for partaking in the act of dueling with someone outside of the Aristocracy, even when it would be seen as reasonable when done with another member of the Aristocracy.

Describe your honor world and provide an example of when you encountered someone who lived/existed in a different honor world. In what ways did the encounter show that they were from a different honor world? In what ways did the difference in your worlds shape the way you judged each others actions? What, if any, was the role of shame and honor?

2- Midway through the chapter The Honor Code, Appiah (4-48) we learn that Wellington was wrong in his accusation of Winchilsea, and that Wellington was aware of his wrongness even before the duel. Yet, it is made clear that it would not have been enough for Wellington to have apologized. Welchilsea says that Wellington “could not have made any apology sufficiently adequate to the offense consistently with his character as a man of honor without first receiving the Duke’s fire.” 26

This idea presents as being in alignment with Nietzsche’s assertion that displeasure is often taken to be equalized only when the person who has experienced a displeasure is able to induce displeasure in another.

Do you think that this kind of approach is still present in our contemporary society? Put differently, do you think that in our contemporary times, we still have a tendency towards violence as an equalizing force? If not, has something taken the place of violence or the duel? What is that thing? How does it function to uphold honor?

Requirement:

You are writing two posts for eash of the above

• Your posts should specifically address a point(s) being made by the above and it should also advance the conversation. By this I mean your posts should include ideas that have not already been explicitly discussed, offer an alternative way of thinking about something that has already been discussed, or a consideration of the implication of the post.
• Each post should include at least one reference to the primary text The Honor Code, Appiah
• Contributions to class discussions should be supported by references to texts and, if relevant,
• There is no word requirement for your posts, but they should be written in a way that is clear and concise. Remember that it can be hard to read between the lines when you are reading someone’s work, so be as clear and explicit as you can.

Read “You Manage It! 1” in Managing Human Resources (2016, p. 111). After reading the case, complete the following items:

1. Write a summary of the case,
2. Answer the critical thinking questions, and
3. Elaborate on two key learnings from the case related to equal employment opportunity and managing diversity. Be sure to clearly state the two key learnings and defend them in well-organized, scholarly responses.

A key learning is defined as significant knowledge gained from reading the case. You may choose to explain your key learnings by offering a real world application, personal insight, your thoughts and opinions about what was stated, how it is handled at your company, etc.

Please arrange your summary, questions, and key learnings in a well-organized, scholarly response of 2-3 pages. Support your observations and opinions with citations from 2-3 credible sources documented according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements. The CSU-Global Library is a great place to search for credible and scholarly sources.

1. A newly issued bond with 1 year maturity has a price of 100, which equals its face value. The coupon rate on the bond is 15%; the probability of default in 1 year is 35%; and the bond’s payoff in default will be 65% of its face value.

a. Calculate the bonds’s expected return

b. Create a data table showing the expected return as a function of the recovery percentage and the price of the bond.

2. Consider the case of five possible rating states A, B, C, D, and E. A, B, and C are initial bond ratings, D symbolizes first time default in the previous period. Assume that the transition matrix Y is:

1 0 0 0 0

0.06 0.90 0.03 0.01 0

Y= 0.02 0.05 0.88 0.05 0

0 0 0 0 1

0 0 0 0 1

A 10 year bond issued today at par with an A rating is assumed to bear a coupon rate of 7%.

– If a bond is issued today at par with a B rating and with a recovery percentage of 50%, what should be its coupon rate so that its expected return will also be 7%?

– If a bond is issued today at par with a C rating and with a recovery percentage of 50%, what should be its coupon rate so that its expected return will be 7%?

As a reminder this is the course that the Professor has given me an F for the turnitin score above 15%, so we have to make sure it is below this, we have resubmit, with a change in grade.

In this module, the comment was made that norms are implicit and tend to develop over time. However, it was also observed that virtual teams cannot afford the luxury of such a passive process and need to take proactive steps to establish explicit norms.

In this Case, you are asked to consider ways a virtual team can explicitly establish communication and task norms that support high performance. The following reading provides some additional ideas for how a co-located team could an engage in norm-setting. You should model your action plan for virtual teams after this type of analysis.

Case Reading

Karten, N. (2003). Creating Team Norms. Retrieved August 2009 from

http://www.stickyminds.com/sitewide.asp?Function=edetail&ObjectType=COL&ObjectId=6736

For this Case, complete the following:

• Identify 10 specific behavioral norms (five communication and five task norms) that you feel are essential to the smooth performance of virtual teams.
• Explain why you feel these norms are essential.
• Propose a specific action plan virtual teams could use to develop and enforce task and communication norms.

Use the background readings to support your arguments.

Your paper will be evaluated using the following five (5) criteria:

• Assignment-Driven Criteria (Precision and Breadth): Does the paper fully address all Keys to the Assignment? Are the concepts behind the Keys to the Assignment addressed accurately and precisely using sound logic? Does the paper meet minimum length requirements?
• Critical Thinking (Critical Thinking and Depth): Does the paper demonstrate graduate-level analysis, in which information derived from multiple sources, expert opinions, and assumptions has been critically evaluated and synthesized in the formulation of a logical set of conclusions? Does the paper address the topic with sufficient depth of discussion and analysis?
• Business Writing (Clarity and Organization): Is the paper well written (clear, developed logically, and well organized)? Are the grammar, spelling, and vocabulary appropriate for graduate-level work? Are section headings included in all papers? Are paraphrasing and synthesis of concepts the primary means of responding to the Keys to the Assignment, or is justification/support instead conveyed through excessive use of direct quotations?
• Effective Use of Information (Information Literacy and References): Does the paper demonstrate that the student has read, understood and can apply the background materials for the module? If required, has the student demonstrated effective research, as evidenced by student’s use of relevant and quality (library?) sources? Do additional sources used in paper provide strong support for conclusions drawn, and do they help in shaping the overall paper?
• Citing Sources: Does the student demonstrate understanding of APA Style of referencing, by inclusion of proper end references and in-text citations (for paraphrased text and direct quotations) as appropriate? Have all sources (e.g., references used from the Background page, the assignment readings, and outside research) been included, and are these properly cited? Have all end references been included within the body of the paper as in-text citations?

This should be a 4- to 5-page paper and can be turned in by the end of the module.
