I need Two of all the discussion board listed so a 2 for each discussion so total of 10 discussion board answers.

Second Required Discussion Post	Pages 10-20 of A World of Art list four different “roles of the artist.” Choose one of the four roles, then find a work of art from anywhere in the textbook as an example of that role. Your answer should describe the work you choose and say why it fits the book’s statements. Feel free to discuss any other reaction you have to the work, like why something stood out for you, or any additional interpretations you may have. Also note that you will refer to the same pages when doing the next discussion. Worth 2 points. The general criteria for all graded discussion posts are available under the Papers/Projects link to the left.
Third Required Discussion Post	Refer to the previous discussion (second required discussion post). Repeat the exercise except choose a different role and a different art work. Worth 2 points.
Fourth Required Discussion Post	Page 30 discusses the differences between representational and abstract art. Find your own examples in the book (different from what the chapter uses) to illustrate representational and abstract. Worth two points.
Fifth Required Discussion Post	Look at Part 3 – “The Fine Arts Media” – in the table of contents. This section of the book goes through different general categories of art. Write about an example of any of these that you have first hand experience with. For example, you might be living somewhere or have visited some place with a particularly striking piece of architecture or public monument. Feel free to talk about the circumstances under which you experienced this, what you think about it, what it says about the culture, time period, or individual that produced it, or any other relevant information. If you wish to use the topic of your Writing Assignment, that would work fine. Worth two points. Example: One of the items listed in Part 3 is “Sculpture.” I live near a historic bridge used for cattle crossing, and it has recently been decorated with a series of statues to commemorate that history. I could offer a brief description and discussion of one or all of the statues for this assignment.
Sixth Required Discussion Post	In the textbook you’ll find a timeline beginning on page 393 and extending through 597. The timeline is intended to show correlations between certain works of art or movements and historical events. Pick one or more works of art mentioned along the time line and discuss them as expressions of the time period or culture that produced them. You may find it easier to accomplish this by comparing two or more. Worth two points. Note that one section of your 20 point Writing Assignment asks for an analysis of a work of art. This discussion is one example of analysis in that it seeks meaning or significance in a work by connecting it to a larger context.

Metamorphoses

Backgrounds:

Ovid is our first known and fully historically documented “single author.” Homer is an invention–The Iliad and Odyssey were almost certainly composed ‘by committee’–people added to the poems when they were only an oral tradition, the name(s) of the person or more likely persons who wrote Gilgamesh have been lost to history, and if there was a single person named Sun Tzu, scholars are unable to definitely date his lifespan or exact locations. Ovid’s life from childhood to exile and death is very well documented by the poet himself as well as Seneca the Elder and Quintillian.

Publius Ovidius Naso (43 BC/BCE – 17 AD/CE) Ovid was greatly impactful on Roman Literature and has remained an inspiring writer—especially for Middle Ages writers like Chaucer and Dante and Renaissance writers like Shakespeare. Ranked with Horace and Virgil as one of the three most important writers of imaginative literature in Rome; Ovid was a prolific writer until his exile at the hand of Augustus Caesar (though some scholars argue that this exile was invented by Ovid). Sent to Romania, Ovid is today revered as the first national poet of that country.

Many remarked in our discussion of Gilgamesh of the striking similarities between Utnapishtim’s story and the more familiar, to most of us, I’d assume, story of Noah in Genesis. In Metamorphoses, we see a creation story not all that different from the creation story in Genesis–a story that it is quite doubtful that Ovid would have known of. The Old Testament, which was not yet translated into Latin (Rome would not adopt Christianity until between 300 and 400 AD/CE, and in Ovid’s day, Nazareth and greater Judea was seen as a troubling little outpost on the very frontier of the Empire), would have been as foreign to him as Gilgamesh. That said, Ovid’s life and the time of Christ do overlap, so we can get a bit of a glimpse of what life in Rome was like at the time of Christ’s presumable childhood from Ovid’s writings (less so Metamorphoses than others).

We can see similarities and differences between Genesis and Metamorphoses such as:

Similarities: order from chaos; chaos darkness before any ‘action’ by the gods/God; light, the stars, the earth, etc. all created the gods/God; humans created from the earth (similar here to creation of Enkidu in Gilgamesh).

Differences: In Genesis each day has an order; flood as largely agent of creation in Metamorphoses, not destruction of human world; unknown god of creation in Metamorphoses; more detailed and scientific—globe described as shape of the world in Metamorphoses.

Ideas of Metamorphoses

How can stories so full of extravagant metamorphoses/change (and violence, rape, sex, lust, divine intervention in horrendous ways) connect to or comment on our world today?

Go through some of the changes Ovid depicts in his characters and comment on what you think they might mean.

Think and comment also on what the idea of such changes might mean in a more general sense–do we wish to see our ‘enemies’ punished by the gods in some way or our successes rewarded?

Ovid’s Women

What are the roles of and for women in Ovid’s stories?

Especially consider the following: Daphne and Io? What do their stories tell us about women, the role of gender in Roman society, the idea of sexuality and courtship (if any)? Look, e.g., at the language of the translation on p. 881 in the Daphne story:

“Before her prayer was ended, torpor seized on all her body, and a thin bark closed around her gentle bosom, and her hair became as moving leaves; her arms were changed to waving branches, and her active feet as clinging roots were fastened to the ground— her face was hidden with encircling leaves.— Phoebus admired and loved the graceful tree, (For still, though changed, her slender form remained) and with his right hand lingering on the trunk he felt her bosom throbbing in the bark. He clung to trunk and branch as though to twine. His form with hers, and fondly kissed the wood that shrank from every kiss.”

It’s been in the news lately regarding Harvey Weinstein and others accused of sexual harrassment — but doesn’t Apollo sound very much like what we’ve seen in these reports, or sad to say, what so many have reported happening to them?

More generally, how do Ovid’s depictions of women, femininity, and especially masculine attacks on women compare to what we’ve seen in Gilgamesh through The Iliad?

The Gods–from Gilgamesh to Ovid

What are your feelings about the gods of the ancient (and we might add in the modern) world? How do the Roman gods as depicted in Ovid compare to the gods in Gilgamesh, the God of the Hebrew Bible, and the Greek gods in The Iliad? Especially consider them in relation to the mortals and desire to control and dominate and punish the mortals?

How can we see the ideas about the gods in these texts as perhaps telling us about the lives of the people of the eras?

• M10 Discussion

  A) For each story assigned this session, I’d like you to try to identify any experiments either in the narration or with POV, noting the effect these things had on you as a reader.

  B) Pick one of the stories that most intrigued you in terms of its narrative or POV experimentation and analyze how this may have affected some of the other elements of fiction. (Did it limit or expand the capabilities of character development? Plot? Etc.)C) Pick one other story we’ve read from the semester and identify an “experimental choice” the writer made and analyze how it affected the story.

  D) Peer question

• M10 Quiz

Details:

Over time, a society’s perception of human rights changes. These changes have often been the result of negative events that motivated society to adapt its values in an attempt to avoid the occurrence of similar incidents. In this paper, a current ethical issue that resulted from repeated negative events will be explored in terms of how it motivated the adaptation of the APA Ethics Code.

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

• 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.
• Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is required but is not included in the total word count of the paper.
• Support all statements with appropriate, contemporary research. Cite and reference at least two scholarly sources other than those in the module and assignment readings.

Directions:

Review the following:

• American Psychological Association. (2009, August 5).APA Council of Representatives directs change in its ethics code to prevent so-called Nuremberg defense. APA News and Events.
• American Psychological Association. (2010, February 24). American Psychological Association amends ethics code to address potential conflicts among professional ethics, legal authority, and organizational demands. APA News and Events.
• American Psychological Association. (2010). Standard 1: Resolving ethical issues. Ethical principles of psychologists and code of conduct: 2010 amendments.

Write a paper of 1,000-1,250 words that addresses the clarifications to the APA position regarding human rights protection. Address the following in your paper:

1. What is the so-called Nuremberg defense? How did this influence the decision to clarify the APA Ethics Code?
2. How does the new verbiage in the 2010 Ethics Code enhance the APA Council of Representatives’ resolution of 2007 and the referendum-based policy change of 2008 on the topic of human rights protection?
3. Compare the current (2010) version of the Ethics Code to the 2002 version. Does the current version reflect a socially improving society or a socially declining society? Why?
