Music Concerts concert of my choice
I have to write a one page paper on a concert attended. I have 3 that need to be written, one a Jazz, one a classical and the other a concert of my choice. It would help if you have attended one recently. If not, I just hope your memory can write the papers. The paper has to describe my experience. This may help you write the papers a little, I have never attended a Jazz or Classical concert. I have only attended hip hop and r&b concerts.

If a statement is neither a premise nor a counterclaim ignore it (do not diagram it).36. 1) All men crave material success because 2) it serves as an insurance policy against sexual rejection. This is true because 3) women love men who are successful. 4) Both men and women want power, and 5) success is the form of power women feel most deprived of. Thus,, 6) women try to achieve it vicariously through men. 7) As the 5-foot-6-inch Dustin Hoffman once put it, "When I was in high school, women wouldn't touch me with a 10-foot pole.

Given that 3) the industrialized nations consume the most oxygen, 4) those nations ought to play Brazil an annual fee for the use of its rain forest.40. 1) America's farm policy desperately needs revamping. 2) Seventy-three cents of every farm program dollar ends up in the pockets of the nation's super-farmers. As a result, 3) the mid-sized family farms are being squeezed out of existence. Also, 4) our farm policy courts environmental disaster. 5) Federal subsidies encourage farmers to use enormous amounts of fertilizer and pesticides. 6) These chemicals percolate down through the soil and pollute limited groundwater.

Coastal Georgia Community College A Better Tomorrow Film Discussion
1. Review the materials above; then select a film of your own choosing. Before you view the film, you must find, read, and cite at least one research source beyond your textbook about the film (try Google Scholar or the SPC Library). If you cannot find a single research source or independent review of the film to use as a reference with citations, then you MUST select another film. In other words, the film must be one that has been written about. If it is a brand new film, check with your instructor first.Your selection can be a full length feature film or a documentary of your own choosing. It must be at least 30 minutes in length. Be sure to watch the film immediately before writing this essay and consider jotting notes as you watch the film. Do not rely on your memory of a film you have previously seen. If you do, it will be obvious because this review requires close examination of the technical aspects of film.2. After finding and reading a research source for integration in your essay (and carefully viewing the film), write a new thread using the following instructions:In the FIRST paragraph (at least 150 words):What is the title of your selected film?Who is the director and what year was it released?Is it considered a "classic"?Identify any technical features of the film.What is the genre of the film (e.g. western, romantic comedy, film noir, documentary, etc.)?In the SECOND paragraph (at least 150 words):Summarize the main plot and/or conflict in the film. Be sure to identify the main character(s) here.Using the themes and concepts noted in Section 9.7 in your textbook (in the section A Word on Critical Viewing), identify at least three of these themes and explain how they apply to your selected film.Indicate any “social issue,” if any, that is addressed in the film.Identify at least one “camera technique” or “use of sound” in the film, and explain how it affects the viewer.In the THIRD paragraph (at least 150 words):Evaluate its "craft." Is this a good example of this type of art? Is it well presented? What are its points of value? Does it have a message? Did we learn something from the characters and/or theme of this film? In what ways did the film resemble literature, theater, or art? What types of reviews did this film receive based on your research of other reviews or scholarly commentaries?In the end, what type of aesthetic experience did you have? Was it mostly an Apollonian or Dionysian experience?Would you recommend this work of art to others? If so (or not), why?Here's the vocab words used in this chapter: https://quizlet.com/40774894/humanities-chapter-9-cinema-flash-cards/I haven't picked a film so feel free to choose whatever you think fits this assignment. I attached the section 9.7 from the chapter since it's needed in the second paragraph.

Coastal Georgia Community College A Better Tomorrow Film Discussion
1. Review the materials above; then select a film of your own choosing. Before you view the film, you must find, read, and cite at least one research source beyond your textbook about the film (try Google Scholar or the SPC Library). If you cannot find a single research source or independent review of the film to use as a reference with citations, then you MUST select another film. In other words, the film must be one that has been written about. If it is a brand new film, check with your instructor first.Your selection can be a full length feature film or a documentary of your own choosing. It must be at least 30 minutes in length. Be sure to watch the film immediately before writing this essay and consider jotting notes as you watch the film. Do not rely on your memory of a film you have previously seen. If you do, it will be obvious because this review requires close examination of the technical aspects of film.2. After finding and reading a research source for integration in your essay (and carefully viewing the film), write a new thread using the following instructions:In the FIRST paragraph (at least 150 words):What is the title of your selected film?Who is the director and what year was it released?Is it considered a "classic"?Identify any technical features of the film.What is the genre of the film (e.g. western, romantic comedy, film noir, documentary, etc.)?In the SECOND paragraph (at least 150 words):Summarize the main plot and/or conflict in the film. Be sure to identify the main character(s) here.Using the themes and concepts noted in Section 9.7 in your textbook (in the section A Word on Critical Viewing), identify at least three of these themes and explain how they apply to your selected film.Indicate any “social issue,” if any, that is addressed in the film.Identify at least one “camera technique” or “use of sound” in the film, and explain how it affects the viewer.In the THIRD paragraph (at least 150 words):Evaluate its "craft." Is this a good example of this type of art? Is it well presented? What are its points of value? Does it have a message? Did we learn something from the characters and/or theme of this film? In what ways did the film resemble literature, theater, or art? What types of reviews did this film receive based on your research of other reviews or scholarly commentaries?In the end, what type of aesthetic experience did you have? Was it mostly an Apollonian or Dionysian experience?Would you recommend this work of art to others? If so (or not), why?Here's the vocab words used in this chapter: https://quizlet.com/40774894/humanities-chapter-9-cinema-flash-cards/I haven't picked a film so feel free to choose whatever you think fits this assignment. I attached the section 9.7 from the chapter since it's needed in the second paragraph.

Scientific Method and Basic Principle of Behavior discussion
The scientific method allows us to pose questions, test questions, and analyze results. Through observation and research we begin to understand the world around us. Consider research you have read about or been a part of and analyze the following in one page:Was the Scientific method followed? How?What pieces were or were not part of it? (Randomization, study type, placebos, etc.)For the second part, present a research project you would like to propose in approximately one page.How can it help us learn about basic principles of behavior?How can you use the scientific method to find and address possible problems in your research design?This paper should be 2pages in length and use APA formatting (cover page, paper body formatting, citations, and references: see Rasmussen's APA guide in the Resources tab, or by clicking here .
