Write a separate paragraph for 8 different jazz songs/pieces that you listen to in a radio
Write a separate paragraph for 8 different jazz songs/pieces that you listen to in a radio or streaming broadcast. For each paragraph, you'll need to address all of the bullet points listed below.Prompt for Listening Journal 1:1. Tune into any jazz radio broadcast – this can include internet or satellite radio. If you use a service like Pandora, be sure to choose a jazz genre, and do not allow it to include related (non-jazz) genres. A good local resource in San Diego is Jazz 88 - KSDS (88.3 FM). It’s also streaming online at http://www.jazz88.org.2. Write 8 journal entries – one for each song that you listen to – addressing all of the following bullet points for each song (8 songs, 8 paragraphs):• What's the title of the song?• What’s the name of the band leader and/or band? This information is clearly provided on internet and satellite radio. If you’re listening to a traditional radio broadcast, DJs announce this info every now and then.• What’s the instrumentation? Larger ensembles such as swing big bands can be identified as such, but for smaller ensembles (up to 5 performers) I'd like you to identify all of the individual instruments if possible.• Describe the general character of the music: what’s the atmosphere, vibe or emotional content of the piece? How would you describe the tempo (slow, medium, fast)? Does the music sound consonant (harmonious) or dissonant (discordant and clashing) - or something in between?• How does the music unfold from beginning to end? This is the most important aspect of this assignment, and should comprise at least half of each of your 8 journal entries. This can include descriptions of shifts in mood and character, interesting exchanges/dialogues between instruments/musicians, descriptions of solos, and other notable moments.

Unit 3 Essay: Debate over Taxes and Representation
In the years between the end of the French and Indian War and the skirmishes at Lexington and Concord, 1763-1775, the colonies and the mother country debated the right of Parliament to legislate for the colonies. The British claimed that Parliament held this right without question, while the colonies insisted that only a body which they actually elected could tax them. While the British espoused the commonly-held notion that Parliament represented all British possessions virtually, the colonists drew on their experiences with their colonial legislatures, maintaining that the only true representation was actual representation. Read the accounts below, which are written from either a British or American point of view, and write a paper that discusses both sides of the debate.Assigned Readingshttp://www.let.rug.nl/usa/documents/1751http://oll.libertyfund.org/pages/1763-otis-rights-...http://www.let.rug.nl/usa/documents/1751-1775/soam...http://www.samueljohnson.com/tnt.htmlFocus QuestionsDiscuss the following questions in your essay for both perspectives:British perspective: According to the documents that support the British position (Declaratory Act, Soame Jenyns and Samuel Johnson), what is the relationship of the colonies to Great Britain? What rights and authority does Great Britain have over the colonies?American perspective: According to documents supporting the American position (Resolutions of the Stamp Act Congress, The Rights of the British Colonists Asserted and Proved), what rights belong to the colonists? How do they view the relationship between the colonies and Great Britain?DirectionsYour essay should be a minimum of 2 pages (500-750 words), and you should spend AT LEAST one page discussing each position (one page discussing the British perspective and one page discussing the American perspective. Your answer should reflect the main points from each reading, and ALL readings should be addressed in your essay. The above questions for each perspective should be addressed in your essay. Use examples from the readings to illustrate your main points. When you write your essay, don't just go reading by reading; rather, see what common themes are found in the readings for both perspective and write paragraphs based on themes rather than examining each reading individually. Yes, this requires more thought, but then your essay won't read like an extended book report on each article. If you have any questions, just let me know and I'll be more than happy to help. As per the instructions in the syllabus, most of the essay should be in your own words and reflect your own analysis of the readings. Please re-read the syllabus for expectations regarding essays.Essays should be original and analytical and must contain a well thought out response to the question posed. Avoid plagiarizing. You must complete the Plagiarism Quiz with a score of 100 before you can submit either of your essays. All submissions will automatically be sent through Turnitin for an originality check. Any submissions that contain plagiarism will earn a grade of 0. This is not to say that you may not quote from your sources. In fact, the careful and limited use of direct quotes is encouraged, but such quotes must be formatted correctly and the source must be acknowledged using the MLA format. If you use direct quotations, you must not only cite your source, but must also use quotation marks. Example: Columbus explains that the weapons of the natives he encountered on the islands of the Caribbean were unsophisticated and that their javelin, a much-used weapon, was "no more than sticks" joined together. (Columbus, Journal, paragraph 12)Use a 12-point font such as Arial or Times New Roman. Double-space between each line. Use 1-inch margins on all sides.Each essay should contain a Works Cited page.You should include specific examples from each of the secondary and/or primary sources specified in the development of your paper and you must cite these sources following the MLA style listed at the Purdue Owl's Guide to the MLA Style . Use of an outside source not listed in the instructions will result in a grade of 0. Please contact me if you have questions about the sources.Essays are to be written following the rules of correct grammar and spelling, both of which will be taken into consideration in the evaluation of the essay. Be sure to proofread your essays as grammar and spell checks typically do not catch words used in incorrect contexts. Avoid the use of first person unless otherwise instructed (I think, I believe, etc.).Essays submitted after the due date will receive a twenty point deduction in points.

Community College of Philadelphia Ethics and Relativism Reflection
A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT?
Wenz reports that the Kerrigan and Mock lawsuit contends that "Connecticut's constitution implies a right to same-sex marriage". How is that possible? Certainly no one would claim that the constitution implies a right to brother/sister marriage, (would they?)
The Range of Relativism, Revisited
To what extent do the accounts of MacIntyre, Bellah et al., and Newton support a generalized relativism i.e. a relativism that spreads always and everywhere?
THE RANGE OF RELATIVISM
Why is so much of the debate over multiculturalism concerned with the literary canon, with ethics, with religion? Why is so little of it concerned with science, with engineering?
RELATIVISM IN HABITS OF THE HEART
In commenting globally on what they make of the "Brian Palmer" case study, the authors of Habits of the Heart say the following:
''Despite the combination of tenderness and admiration he expresses for his wife, the genuine devotion he seems to feel for his children, and his own resilient self-confidence, Brian's justification of his life thus rests on a fragile foundation. Morally, his life appears much more coherent than when he was dominated by careerism, but, to hear him talk, even his deepest impulses of attachment to others are without any more solid foundation than his momentary desires. He lacks a language to explain what seem to be the real commitments that define his life, and to that extent the commitments themselves are precarious.''
So Brian is cast as a certain kind of relativist. Interestingly, Margaret, Joe, and Wayne are also supposed to be somehow caught up in relativism. Well, Margaret certainly. But Joe and Wayne?

Strayer Univeristy W7 Philosophy and Your World Personal Philosophy Discussion
THE VALUE OF A PERSONAL PHILOSOPHYPLEASE SEE THE ATTCHED EXAMPLES AND WRITING STANDARDS. PLEASE BE VERY DETAILED.Having a larger philosophy helps you in three important ways. First, it can serve as a problem solving compass, allowing you to make everyday decisions more quickly. This makes you more agile, enables you to take initiative, and improves productivity and results. Second, a personal philosophy helps define what is important to you and what is not. This enables you to set better goals and make progress toward them. Third, it helps you act with intention. When you act with intention instead of relying on habit, you can stay agile, changing approaches that work against your best interests.When you’re able to step outside your personal experience to form a more general philosophy, you can better connect with others. You see how their experiences, society, and beliefs shape their behaviors, and you notice your own instinctive responses to them, which can give you a feel for how you might respond to other behaviors as well.Think back to a time you fought with a friend. If your first thought was to blame yourself, you might also focus on blaming yourself when you do not understand an assignment. If your strategy often involves trying to figure out a difficult assignment on your own, you might apply a similar strategy to the conflict with your friend and try to smooth over the argument by simply not talking about it.By applying critical thinking to your problem solving framework, you can learn to react to, frame, and manage each new problem in the way that has worked best for you in the past. And as new issues crop up over time, your agility skill will help you to tweak your approach accordingly.RESPONSE BOARD1. Name one value or goal that you’d like to help guide your personal philosophy and explain why it is important to you.YOUR RESPONSEBefore you begin your response, it may be helpful to think about some of the personal examples you might include in the webtext activities over the next few pages. What are examples of recent or past changes you have worked through? You can think of the change as a problem and how you managed the change as the solution. Here are some possible areas of change to consider: living arrangements, like moving to a new location or place a new job, promotion, or change in employment gaining or losing loved ones relationships (friends, partners, pets) academics your daily routineIn the note-taking template that follows, describe your thoughts, feelings, and actions associated with the change you select.2. Use the space below to write about how you react to change: describe your thoughts, feelings, and initial reactions to change. Be sure to include personal examples.3. Use the space below to write about how you frame change: describe the steps you took to understand the change and how you described the change to others. Be sure to include personal examples.4. Use the space below to write about how you manage change: describe the boundaries you had to work within, how your feelings toward change evolved, and what you learned from the situation. Be sure to include personal examples.Week 7 Assignment - Creating Your Personal Philosophy of ChangeDue: Week 7Points: 125Skill(s) Being Assessed: Problem SolvingCriteria for Success: In this assignment, you will:Develop a Reacting to Change section that includes reflective thought, is detailed, and is supported by a relevant source.Develop a Framing Change section that includes reflective thought, is detailed, and is supported by a relevant source.Develop a Managing Change section that includes reflective thought, is detailed, and is supported by a relevant source.Explain the connection of relevant sources to the philosophy of change.Create a visual component that conveys the personal philosophy of change.Include writing and sources that are appropriately formatted using the Strayer Writing Standards.What to submit/deliverables: 1) An overview of your personal philosophy of change and 2) a visual collage or combination of phrases, images, or other elements that represents your personal philosophy of change.What is the value of doing this assignment?Major change is an inevitable part of personal and professional lives—both changes that aren’t desired and those that we actively make. For example, you may unexpectedly find yourself apartment shopping because your landlord has, once again, raised your rent. Or perhaps you have decided to find a new job that will help you develop the skills needed for a promotion.When we have our lives ordered and planned, change can seem like a problem. And like any problem, dealing with change requires a solution. An important part of coming to a solution is understanding your personal philosophy of change. A philosophy of change is how you react to, frame, and manage change. In this assignment, you’ll examine how you personally deal with large changes in your life.You will use your problem solving skill to analyze how you frame the problems associated with change and find evidence-based solutions to manage them. You will apply this philosophy to your experience with the 10 Skills in your next and final assignment. Additionally, this assignment gives you the opportunity to think deeply about your agility skill and how you can practice agility effectively in different contexts. It will also allow you to practice your innovation skill in exploring new ways of thinking and integrating different ideas and experiences to think about how you approach change.Your goal for this assignment is to: Use your problem solving skill to create a personal philosophy of change that you could apply to managing change in your personal and professional life.What you need to complete this assignment:A minimum of three quality sources to support your final philosophy of change overview.Steps to complete:STEP 1: Begin to understand how you manage change by thinking of a recent or past change and how you dealt with it. Complete the Chapter 7 web text exercises before attempting the assignment.STEP 2: Use the information from your web text exercises to write your ideal personal philosophy of change overview.Include the following sections:Reacting to ChangeFraming ChangeManaging ChangeEach section should be 1–2 paragraphs long and must be supported by at least one source of your choice, for a minimum of three sources total. You must also detail why you chose the source and its relevance to the information you have included in your overview.Some examples of resources include a work of art, quotations, an online article or written work with an identifiable author, and the philosophy of another person, group, or organization. Feel free to explore different resources, but ask your instructor if you have any questions.STEP 3: One way to keep your strategies for problem solving on your mind is to keep reminders around you in daily life. For this step, use your philosophy of change overview to create a visual component you can refer to every day. The ideal format is a final version that could fit on a single framed piece of paper or picture that could be posted somewhere you will see it every day (think office wall, desk at work, the bathroom mirror, or the refrigerator). This component can include inspirational phrases, images, or whatever elements you choose to include to reinforce your philosophy of change.Example 1Example 2STEP 4: Format your work according to the Strayer Writing Standards. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.STEP 5: Upload both components of the assignment to Blackboard in Week 7.Grading for this assignment will be based on the Week 7 Assignment rubric.

For example, you may unexpectedly find yourself apartment shopping because your landlord has, once again, raised your rent. Or perhaps you have decided to find a new job that will help you develop the skills needed for a promotion.When we have our lives ordered and planned, change can seem like a problem. And like any problem, dealing with change requires a solution. An important part of coming to a solution is understanding your personal philosophy of change. A philosophy of change is how you react to, frame, and manage change. In this assignment, you’ll examine how you personally deal with large changes in your life.You will use your problem solving skill to analyze how you frame the problems associated with change and find evidence-based solutions to manage them. You will apply this philosophy to your experience with the 10 Skills in your next and final assignment. Additionally, this assignment gives you the opportunity to think deeply about your agility skill and how you can practice agility effectively in different contexts. It will also allow you to practice your innovation skill in exploring new ways of thinking and integrating different ideas and experiences to think about how you approach change.Your goal for this assignment is to: Use your problem solving skill to create a personal philosophy of change that you could apply to managing change in your personal and professional life.What you need to complete this assignment:A minimum of three quality sources to support your final philosophy of change overview.Steps to complete:STEP 1: Begin to understand how you manage change by thinking of a recent or past change and how you dealt with it. Complete the Chapter 7 web text exercises before attempting the assignment.STEP 2: Use the information from your web text exercises to write your ideal personal philosophy of change overview.Include the following sections:Reacting to ChangeFraming ChangeManaging ChangeEach section should be 1–2 paragraphs long and must be supported by at least one source of your choice, for a minimum of three sources total. You must also detail why you chose the source and its relevance to the information you have included in your overview.Some examples of resources include a work of art, quotations, an online article or written work with an identifiable author, and the philosophy of another person, group, or organization. Feel free to explore different resources, but ask your instructor if you have any questions.STEP 3: One way to keep your strategies for problem solving on your mind is to keep reminders around you in daily life. For this step, use your philosophy of change overview to create a visual component you can refer to every day. The ideal format is a final version that could fit on a single framed piece of paper or picture that could be posted somewhere you will see it every day (think office wall, desk at work, the bathroom mirror, or the refrigerator). This component can include inspirational phrases, images, or whatever elements you choose to include to reinforce your philosophy of change.Example 1Example 2STEP 4: Format your work according to the Strayer Writing Standards.
