Need help with part b) of the assignment (600 words)

Excerpt: In a survey from 2016, Singaporeans reportedly worked the longest hours in the world, with the average worker clocking in 2,371.2 hours. The Working Hours Survey conducted by recruitment consultancy Morgan McKinley found that 70 per cent of professionals in Singapore work longer than their contracted hours. Seven in ten people “felt obliged to work longer than their contracted hours”. In addition, 9 in 10 worked these extra hours for free since their employer did not pay them for working late. The downside to long working hours is the risk of developing health problems.

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 three to four (3-4) page paper (750-1,000 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 three (3) good quality academic sources, with one (1) source being the class text.
   Note: Wikipedia
   and other similar Websites do not qualify as academic resources. You
   are highly encouraged to use the Resource Center tab at the top of your
   Blackboard page. 

Note:  Your instructor may require you to submit your topic choice for approval before the end of Week 5. 

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?

3. Evidence Based Intervention (1-2 paragraphs):

• Choose and describe one evidence based intervention related to the modifiable risk factoryou have chosen. (One that has been shown to be effective at reducing an individual’s risk for developing the preventable disease.)
• Describe this intervention in detail, and provide rationale for your intervention utilizing:
  • At least one scholarly peer-reviewed journal article. Search peer reviewed journals to find a scholarly article that discusses interventions associated with the modifiable risk factor you have chosen as the focus of your paper. Summarize what you learned from this article and cite the source in the text and reference page (Author, year). The article must be less than 10 years old. You may include and cite your textbook or other scholarly sources as well, but they do not count as the scholarly journal article.

   • Describe any resources you would provide to the participant to help them understand and be successful (websites, community services, handouts, etc.).
2. Evaluation (1 paragraph):

• Describe at least one method (weight, lab values, etc.) you would use to evaluate whether your intervention was effective.
• How would you revise you plan if it proved to be unsuccessful?

1. Summary (1 paragraph):
   • Summarize the main points of your paper.
   • Reiterate what you hope to accomplish by implementing this intervention.

   • All references should be cited within the body of the paper as (Author, year) and the full reference should be included in APA format on the reference page.
   • A URL link alone is not an adequate reference.
