PART ONEGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISCUSSIONS: Your contributions should be thoughtful and developed. Answer all parts of the question and use concepts from the course materials. Use a professional style of communication, with attention to grammar, spelling, and typos; cite your sources. Choose ONE of the following options for a play and a corresponding film adaptation to address this question. You might have to rent the film or find it on an online streaming serviceOPTION 1: Read Romeo and Juliet and watch one of the following adaptations: Gnomeo & Juliet (2011), Chicken Rice War (2000), Romeo Must Die (2000), Romeo + Juliet (1996), Romeo and Juliet(1968), Romeo and Juliet (1966), West Side Story (1961), Romeo and Juliet (1954), Romeo and Juliet (1936). OPTION 2: Read The Taming of the Shrew and watch one of the following adaptations: Deliver Us from Eva (2003), 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), The Taming of the Shrew (1967), McLintock! (1967), Kiss Me Kate (1953), You Made Me Love You (1933), Now, for the play/film pair that you chose, address all parts of this question.Clearly identify two scenes from the written play that also appear in the film (however loosely) that you think are significant to the overall story, and explain why.Offer an assessment of how well you think the film portrayed the two scenes. In other words, was the film's portrayal of these two scenes effective or ineffective? Why?Use at least two of the terms and concepts from the Learning Resources for the module explain why the scenes portrayed in the film were effective or ineffective. For example, perhaps the film used specific music and lighting in a scene to effectively emphasize the tension of the scene. Underline or bold the vocabulary, concept or technique you use as an interpretative tool in your post. Finally, give your overall opinion about how the themes of this play translate to our contemporary world and why you think this play has had so many film adaptations PART TWOUnless your instructor specifies otherwise, choose ONE of the following questions, and give a substantive response to at least two other students.1. THE MATERIAL DIMENSION OF MYTH If you look at the Learning Resources for this week, you will see myths from religions paired with elements of the arts which express or are related to those myths. For example, the Jewish Passover myth is covered, and then there is a link to a Passover dance and some material decorative items used in the Jewish Passover ritual, which re-enacts the myth. Also, the Eucharistic myth is covered under Christianity, and then there are some examples of how the story of the Eucharist is expressed in the arts, including in music and poetry. For this discussion, pick one of the five major world religions. Find a myth from that religion that you can directly connect to something in the religion’s material dimension (the arts).Provide a link to a version of the myth and give us a very short (3-5 sentences) description of the myth. Provide a link to the element from the arts that links to the myth and give us a paragraph that analyzes how the two are connected. For example: Is this an object that is part of a ritual? Is it used by believers to accomplish something? Does it teach believers something? Does it help a community express their beliefs? Is it something (like a work of visual art) that critiques the values/beliefs/practices etc. expressed by the myth, or offers a new perspective on the religion? Keep in mind that according to the Encyclopedia Britannica online a myth is: a symbolic narrative, usually of unknown origin and at least partly traditional, that ostensibly relates actual events and that is especially associated with religious belief. It is distinguished from symbolic behaviour (cult, ritual) and symbolic places or objects (temples, icons). Myths are specific accounts of gods or superhuman beings involved in extraordinary events or circumstances in a time that is unspecified but which is understood as existing apart from ordinary human experience. The term mythology denotes both the study of myth and the body of myths belonging to a particular religious tradition.https://www.britannica.com/topic/myth2. THE ACADEMIC STUDY OF RELIGION To address the following questions, consider the four approaches to religion described in the introduction to this module: exclusivism, inclusivism, pluralism and empathetic interest in other people. Which of these four approaches do you take in your everyday life, and why? Describe a friend, acquaintance, or relative whose approach to religion is different than yours. What approach do they take? Given your different approaches, how would you communicate with them about religion? If you were to take a college class on religious traditions, do you think the academic study of religion might require you to adjust your approach? Explain your answer.

WK 3 Identifying Roadblocks Exercise Objective: Compare and contrast communication techniques that help or hinder client services.In this chapter you will review good and poor responses that can block communication. It clarifies which responses are most likely to promote rapport and which are most likely to promote withdrawal and defensiveness. In this exercise you will test your knowledge of good responses versus bad responses.Read Chapter 7 in your textbook.Complete Exercise Identifying Roadblocks (p. 165). For each scenario determine if communication was enhanced or blocked.Type a paragraph for each scenario explaining your answer.Book for this assignment is Fundamentals of Case Management practice Skills for the Human Services
