I’m trying to get a discussion post written
Watch the film “13th” on Netflix and answer the questions:
1. Summarize the purpose of the 13th Amendment. Analyze the link between the 13th Amendment and issues surrounding mass incarceration. (Base your answers on information from the book and/or the film; write 1-2 paragraphs)
2. Describe the types of images displayed throughout news media depicting African Americans. Examine the link between news portrayals of African Americans and issues surrounding mass incarceration. (Base your answers on information from the book and/or the film; write 1-2 paragraphs)
3. Explain four ways in which the private sector is profiting from the mass incarceration of “criminals” and “detainees.” Investigate the link between the prison industrial complex’s (PIC) profiteering and issues surrounding mass incarceration. (Base your answers on information from the book and/or the film; write 1-2 paragraphs)
4. Develop an explanation defining the concept “Prison Industrial Complex” (PIC) (DO NOT PLAGIARIZE). Discuss your thoughts regarding your tax dollars being used to for corporate gains resulting from the mass incarceration of human beings. (Base your answers on information from the BOOK and/or the film; write 1-2 paragraphs)
5. Define the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. Critically reflect on your thoughts regarding the BLM movement. (Base your answers on information from the film; write 1-2 paragraphs)

Students will engage the work: Christ with Symbols of the Passion, by Lavinia Fontana, executed in1576 in oil on wood panel. Then each student will write a 3-page paper in which they consider the work as an example of Mannerist style through comparison to the Rosso Fiorentino image, Dead Christ with Angels, covered in the Mannerism lecture and in a Khan Academy video. Students will be required to discuss the two works based upon Mannerist criteria, such as contextual and spatial ambiguity, unnatural figural proportions in affected poses, palette and anxiety level or strange mood. These works provide the perfect opportunity to write a comparison, as both images depict the dead Christ with angels and symbols of the Passion and both were painted by Italian artists that chose to work in the Mannerist style.
Your discussion must be written entirely in your own words and reflect your observations about the Mannerist characteristics of both images. This paper is not intended as a research assignment, but rather as an exercise in visual, formal analysis, critical thinking and writing. I do not want you to write about either painter; and please do not write an essay about your personal spiritual beliefs. This is an essay about the ways in which two paintings of the same topic in the same style are both similar and different!

(PART 1)
Please write about what you learned from the textbook reading materials and supplemental videos, and/or any questions you had about the lecture notes.
What did you find the most interesting?
After writing your submission, please post at least 1 thoughtful responses to your classmates.
Disscusion to respont to (PART 2)
As I read through the slides and the chapter, I was reminded that water is on the move whether it is in the form of a body of water, condensation, evaporation, transpiration, precipitation, or just running off of a mountain. It rained overnight at my house, hard, to the point that the ground is flooded between our house and the neighbors. As I took a look at the plants in my backyard, I thought about the plants root absorbing water and traveling up the plant to the leaves, and then eventually evaporating off of the leaves. This entire process is called Evapotranspiration, when the combined process of transpiration and evaporation work together. Another thing that I found interesting is the difference between Relative Humidity and Dew Point. Relative Humidity is the amount of water vapor that is present and the amount of water vapor the air is capable of holding. Dew Point is the temperature at which saturation is reached. What this means is that when the air is cooled the maximum amount of water vapor it can hold decreases and then condensation will begin. The temperature that our body senses is called Sensible temperature. So basically, Relative Humidity is dependent on the temperature of the air and the Dew Point stays constant. Another observation I made in my backyard, was on a cool morning when the air temperature was cooler than the temperature of our pool, you could see the moisture rising and evaporation taking place. What I found most interesting in the chapter was the formation of clouds. They are the visible expression of condensation. About 50% of the earth’s surface is covered by clouds. They act as a blanket for the earth by keeping the nights warmer and making our days cooler by keeping out insolation. The strange fact that I read was that all participation comes from the clouds, but not all clouds produce precipitation. There are three forms of clouds, cirrus, stratus, and cumulus, but they can be classified into ten types. Based on the altitude, these ten types can be divided into four families. It was also interesting to learn the different classifications of clouds and what takes place at the height of the clouds, whether they are High, middle, and low clouds. I found this lesson to be very interesting overall. As I read/watched it was easy to relate the information to what I see happening out my door every day.

It is important that you learn how to critically review research. In our society today, we are exposed to so much information and so many studies. Some of thisinformation is excellent, some is useful, and some is very, very bad. How can you determine what information is useful and what is dangerous? One way is to take a course like Critical Thinking; however, the facts that I give you will be outdated all too soon. The most important thing you will learn from this course—and from your college education—is how to critically evaluate information presented to you. Critical thinking involves asking five questions: who, what, when, where, how.
Find and read an article in the media or a video clip that reports the results of a scientific study. You must include the link to the website.
How accurately did the mass media report the study?
Answer the above five questions about the article (Who, What, When, Where, and How). Refer to page 353 of your text and be sure to cover all the highlights discussed.
Do NOT use entertainment or sports articles for your review. These are to be research based.
Directions:
You will write a one-page critical review of the article. The review should answer each of the five questions. You must cite your source. If it is a website, please make sure you put the entire web address. Remember you are evaluating critically, not just summarizing. See the examples below the grading rubric:
Week 4: Critical Review Point Value

Uses the recommended number of scholarly resources correctly cited in APA format (at least four) 10 points
Meets the required word minimum (150 words) and posts word count 10 points
Follows APA formatting with parenthetical citations and referencing 10 points
Total: 100 points

CRITICAL THINKING REVIEW EXAMPLE:
Critical thinking involves asking five questions – who, when, what, where, how.
You should organize your paper in the following manner:
Your Name Critical Review
Author, I. (date of publication). Title of article. Name of Publication, volume #, page #-#.
OR
Author, I. (date of publication if available). Title of article. Retrieved [date accessed] from the World Wide Web: [Web site address]
Where: Where did this article/Web page appear? Is this reasonable? Is the publishing entity respectable/responsible?
Who: Who wrote/published the article/Web page? What are their credentials? Are the credentials appropriate for their argument?
When: Is this current information? If yes, do you think it will stand the “test of time”? If no, is it outdated or is it classic?
What: What argument is/are the author(s) making? Is it logical? Based on what you know, is it reasonable? What evidence is given to support the argument? Can you think of evidence to refute it?
How: How was the supporting/refuting evidence collected? Is this credible? What kind of evidence do you think needs to be gathered to test the argument? Did the author(s) do this?
Summarize the quality of the article (it does not have to be a “good” article in your opinion), and whether you consider this to be a worthwhile and trustworthy article. Did you think it was biased? Could the author have underlying motives? What do you think? Is it valid?
NOTE: Do not simply answer yes or no to the questions above. Write a thoughtful response to each section.

SAMPLE CRITICAL REVIEW:
Virginia Norris Critical Review
Eggenberger, T. Sentinel node biopsy. Retrieved August 30, 2001, from the World Wide Web: http://www.intellihealth.com/IH/ihtIH/WSIHW000/9103/29497.html
Where: The Intellihealth Web site is a general information health Web site. It draws information from “trusted sources” (e.g., Harvard Medical School, University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine); however, it sells health products and is financed by an insurance company. They do not endorse specific products. In general, the information on this site should be viewed with caution but may be an appropriate first step.
Who: Ty Eggenberger, a correspondent for Intellihealth. No evidence is given for the author’s credentials, but the Web site indicates that the editors are experts and use trusted sources.
When: Although the site was last updated 8/27/01, there is no indication when the article was written. It appears to be current, but this cannot be evaluated.
What: This article reviews a new diagnostic procedure, sentinel node biopsy, for breast cancer. They suggest that women investigate this option, but caution that the surgeon’s experience level is associated with diagnostic accuracy. The information is supported with quotations from a surgeon at a prestigious hospital. The argument appears reasonable and is appropriately cautious. If I were looking for advice on this issue, I would search in more clinically oriented databases to look for data on hits and misses for this diagnostic tool.
How: I was disappointed that no source was cited. This makes it difficult for me to evaluate how the evidence was collected.
In summary, this is a good first-step article that presents a new diagnostic tool; however, before insisting on this type of biopsy over an axillary dissection, I would look for further information.

After reading the case, and thinking about the major decisions that Disney faces, write a strategy memo
of no more than three pages to advise Disney on a path forward.
S
ome of the major questions that Disney seems to be facing include: whether to launch and scale
DisneyQuest, whether to construct the standalone Hawaiian hotel, and whether to invest in a
technological upgrade of the company’s current parks.
For this section, consider this case to be a “closed universe.” You may bring your opinions, and your
teammates’ opinions, into the case, but you will not need to do any outside research, and should not
cite any outside research here.
This memo should include some quantitative analysis.
