Assignment 1:Here is some background about the video game Gone Home: See pp. 138-39 of Bagnall for more info about the game, but here is a short description: “The game opens on the porch of a house: in the lower left-hand of the first person shot rests luggage, tagged for Kaitlin Greenbriar, the player, who has just returned home after spending a year overseas. In a note taped to the glass, the player’s sister Sam apologizes for her absence. … The player later discovers that, while they were abroad, Sam met and began dating fellow student Lonnie. Their parents were unable to accept Sam’s lesbian relationship, and so Sam and Lonnie ran away together.”Using at least one quote from the reading, explain how the author's experience of the game Gone Home both reflects heteronormativity and critiques it.Assignment 2:Recall our discussion of online harassment as a particular form of misogyny we have seen in popular culture and digital environments. We talked about this at the beginning of unit 3, on the day that we did the #upskirt reading focused on the keyword “surveillance.” In Activity 3.1, you listened to the podcast exchange between an online writer, Lindy West, who had been harassed and her harasser who was apologizing. He specifically admitted that he attacked her because she was a confident woman who was unafraid to write about being fat and feminist.In our current unit, we have also talked about video games and the misogyny in them. We looked at a youtube video produced by Anita Sarkeesian on the channel Feminist Frequency. I mentioned then that Sarkeesian has faced extreme forms of harassment – both online and “in real life” – simply in response to her commentaries on video games. This sort of violent backlash faced by female and feminist gamers is called “gamergate” and it is covered in the documentary GTFO, available through the library website. In order to get a sense of what this sort of online harassment and trolling is all about, watch this short 3 minute Washington Post video clip: How feminist blogger Anita Sarkeesian fights trolls. Scroll down to look at some of the comments the video received. (In order to see comments, click on the "Link" in Activity 4.3 to open the video in a new window.) What are the main themes of these comments? What do they imply? What seems to be “behind” them? If we consider this to be exemplary of a "system failure," what system are we talking about and what, exactly, has failed?

Hypothesis TestingThe Lazer Company has a contract to produce a part for Boeing Corporation that must have an average diameter of 6 inches and a standard deviation of 0.10 inch. The Lazer Company has developed a process that will meet the specifications with respect to the standard deviation, but it is still trying to meet the mean specifications. A test run (considered a random sample) of parts was produced, and the company wishes to determine whether this latest process that produced the sample will produce parts meeting the requirement of an average diameter equal to 6 inches. Use Excel to:Construct the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses with correct parameters. Develop the decision rule assuming that the sample size is 200 parts and the significance level is 0.01.In a Word document:Recommend what the Lazer Company should conclude if the sample mean diameter for the 200 parts is 6.03 inches.Submit your recommendations in a Word document and attach your Excel file.By submitting this paper, you agree: (1) that you are submitting your paper to be used and stored as part of the SafeAssign™ services in accordance with the Blackboard Privacy Policy; (2) that your institution may use your paper in accordance with your institution's policies; and (3) that your use of SafeAssign will be without recourse against Blackboard Inc. and its affiliates.

Option #1: Your Story and Change LessonsChange is part of our personal and professional lives. It can be stressful, enlightening, dramatic, or transformational depending upon the circumstances. Think about an experience from your professional or personal life that involved change and was particularly memorable.The required textbook reading this week describes these memorable experiences as stories. Reflect on your personal change experience (story) and draw upon the course materials to objectively describe it based on the following:Compare and contrast it with the change lessons outlined in the Managing Organizational ChangeDescribe whether the change lessons in your story are useful for facing future changes in which you might be involved. Explain how the lessons are transferable or not.What I have so far is attached. Book needed is Managing Organizational Change: A Multiple Perspectives Approach - Chapter 1. I just need help integrating the change lessons in the chapter into the organizational merger I went through of Wachovia and Wells Fargo.
