Over the years, one of the main focuses of the Humanities has been the "struggles" of many of the historical figures and all that they had to go through to become the giants that they were destined to be. Some of these figures suffered from mental illness, depression, and drug addiction. They had to overcome a number of obstacles. Overall, they suffered as they created the art that we have come to know and love. Some of those figures include, Vincent van Gogh, Emily Dickinson, Oscar Wilde, Virginia Woolf, Ray Charles, and Elvis Presley. In addition to struggling with their personal demons, some of these artists were only recognized posthumously (after their deaths).Many would argue that today's artists, entertainers, and writers have to face few struggles, if any. Today's entertainers became overnight sensations because of vehicles like YouTube and shows like The Voice and American Idol. Instead of spending years as a "starving artist," one million views on YouTube can catapult a virtual unknown person into the spotlight. Once a video goes viral on the Internet, life for the featured "star" of that video will forever be changed.In light of today's technology, is there such a thing as a "struggle" anymore? Explain your reasoning by giving examples.

InstructionsThe project will center on your submitting a grant proposal to receive funding for a social entrepreneurship venture that impacts efforts to improve conditions related to COVID-19. A list of grant options can be found at: https://skoll.org/skoll-foundation-covid-response/#grants. This is not an exhaustive list and you may identify other options, but this does give you a broad spectrum of options. The project is less about your being a professional grant writer. It is more about your having an understanding about what constitutes a social entrepreneurship venture and your documenting the steps that validate your venture as a viable option. Given the collective experience we all have gone through in 2020, providing a solution to one of the COVID-19 needs of society at large, is a great way to show your understanding of the concepts. You will be expected to cite your work - including the textbook. But also you will need to engage with additional sources that offer more insight into the solution you seek to provide through the grant.What to expect:The best way I can help you be successful with this project is to provide a clear rubric. Though I will be looking for certain APA elements, because this is a grant proposal, it will not be written as a typical paper and therefore some APA elements will not apply.Helpful resource from CARE. This organization does outstanding work and is headquartered here in Atlanta. Give particular attention to Section 3 --> https://care.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Social_Enterprise_Learning_Document_2013.pdf
