Write a research on one artist and provide information about the time he lived in and about his art. please follow the bullet points and answer all the questions.

/in /by

Pick an artist you are interested in from any time period, working in any medium, except Frida Kahlo, Vincent Van Gogh, Andy Warhol, Salvador Dali and Bob Ross. (Sorry these artists are too familiar. I want you to find an artist you don’t know much about). Take a chance on a film director or a sculptor or ceramicist.

Research that artist and address ALL of these prompts:

  • the history of their life,
  • events happening at the time they live or lived and were working,
  • other art movements happening at the same time they were working,
  • their theories on art,
  • what if any art movement they belong or belonged to,
  • a summary of their body of work- did they pioneer a new direction in their medium,
  • what were the main elements and principles of design they tend or tended to use,
  • what of the 6 functions does their art employ,
  • what art criticism have they received (which of the theories are applied to their work) and do you agree or disagree with that assessment, does the artist?

You’ll have to read not only about the artist, but articles written about their work (from art magazines for example, books written) and research the time period in which they were working.Remember to cite resources correctly and use your own words.

WEEK 4 ASSIGNMENT

Instructions: Information Literacy Narrative Self-Reflection (2 PAGES).

This narrative self-reflection is a one time assignment that you will complete at the end of the Information Literacy Units

1. Similar to other self-reflections, the information literacy self-reflections are a qualitative component that offer an exploration of lessons learned and reflective contemplation that is an important component of the doctoral candidate’s development as a researcher. (Minimum of two (2) pages). Since this is a personal reflection, you do not need to use APA formatting including the title page. If you cite a reference you should include a reference page.

QUESTION: Please use the below to guide your Information Literacy Narrative Self-Reflection:

1. Reflect on the purpose of information literacy and research as a DNP candidate and future advanced practice nurse.

2. Describe your personal information literacy process and changes that may have occurred during this process. Consider new resources, concepts, or steps that you may have learned.

3. What strengths have you developed related to information literacy?

4. Identify any areas needing improvement relative to information literacy based on completion of this module.

WEEK 5 DISCUSSION

I need this in 600 words. I also need multiple resources to answer the questions, with in-text citations of all resources used. Resources must also be within the last 5 years.

Discuss two (2) of the following areas this week in the discussion board:

1. Discuss the impact the doctoral prepared APRN on the legislative process and health care policy?

2. Identify an area of policy that you find interesting. How will you work to get involved to show leadership and affect change in this area?

3. Describe effective communication techniques and how do you employ effective communication and collaborative skills?

450-word response to the film about media analysis

/in /by

For this assignment, I’d like you to watch the film, “The Internet’s Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz” online here:

https://archive.org/details/TheInternetsOwnBoyTheS…

The film touches upon many of the subjects we’ve begun to explore in regards to the Internet: freedom of information, who owns what, and, ultimately, what content we choose to privilege over what we choose to lock up or hide.

As the film deals quite strongly with questions of privileged information, I’d like you to take this as the jumping off point for a 450-word response to the film. Aaron Swartz was a strong advocate of open access for content, both in his activism and his part in the creation of the Creative Commons license as an alternative to traditional copyright. Consider some of the following questions as you watch the film:

  • How does this situation compare to what we saw in “We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks?” Both stories are arguably about the freedom of information and outspoken advocates who have risked their lives and reputations to defend that principle. What differences and similarities do you see in the stories? Is the kind of information Aaron Swartz was accused of stealing different because it is made and distributed for profit?
  • Is what Aaron Swartz did wrong in your opinion? Should it be a criminally prosecuted offense?
  • When does information become so important that it needs to be in the public domain? Are there some things that need to be made available to everyone? Or is paying for access to information a reasonable price in most cases?
  • Why do you think Aaron Swartz was so strongly pursued criminally despite his widespread acceptance in the tech world? Was he not eventually punished for exactly what he had been advocating the whole time?
  • For those of you that may find this interesting, the film mentions that Aaron was one of the main architects of RSS feeds. This might be an interesting angle to discuss, since RSS essentially limits, or at least strongly controls, the effects of Internet advertising by giving you headlines and digests outside of the websites themselves. RSS has gone mostly by the wayside in the last few years sadly, but it was an amazing way to amalgamate information from multiple sources at once.

Diversification strategy, business and finance homework help

/in /by

1) Select a company that has engaged in a diversification strategy. Indicate whether the lineup reflects a strategy of related, unrelated, or a combination of related and unrelated diversification. Give examples of the various products/services that are diversified. Discuss the extent to which the value chains of the selected company’s businesses have competitively valuable cross-business relationships.

2) Industry and competitive conditions change because forces are pressuring the industry participants (competitors, customers, suppliers, etc.) to alter their actions. The most powerful change agents are called driving forces because they have a strong influence in reshaping the industry land scape and alternating competitive conditions. In this class, we studied the five driving forces introduced by Porter. However, there are underlying forces that impact power of suppliers, power of buyers, threat of new entrants, etc.  Select an industry of interest and discuss the common driving forces that might influence change. Hint: Think about elements in the external environment and apply current events to your selected industry.

3) Select a company with a sustainable competitive advantage. Explain how the company is able to attract sufficiently large numbers of buyers who have a lasting preference for the products and services over those offered by rivals. Discuss whether the company is using a cost-based advantage, differentiation based advantage, niche advantage, or simply has developed an unmatched resource strength and competitive capabilities.

AMST 100 Discussion

The film for the week is a horror film from the 90s many of you may have seen before. Using a more critical viewing eye, I want you to think about how the genre conventions play out in the film, and also how gender, sexuality, reality tv culture, teenage culture, and the threat of sexual violence against women play out in the film. Are the things we see play out in the film critiques of American Culture in general? Why or why not? Develop your Primary Post this week with those themes in mind, and be sure to provide specific examples from the film. 10 points
