20 pt.) A former student assumed that the classical period from the 18th century was made up of “Nothing but a bunch of old and privileged white guys”. It was a valid question. It was also obvious to me that this student knew very little about the history of composers. Most composers came from poverty or lower income and class families. They were considered and treated as servants of royalty or the church until the 19th century following the French Revolution. Most did not go beyond a third-grade education or if lucky, were home schooled. Mozart was writing some very mature piano music by age 4 and orchestral music by age 6. Other composers, the “late bloomers” were composing by age 6, 7 or 8. So much for the former students’ statement: “Nothing but a bunch of old and privileged white guys”. Composers were often commissioned to write works, but the money was minimal. They did not earn nearly enough money from their original compositions to support even a lower class living. Composers, even in their pre-teen years and throughout their live were performing, teaching or conducting or had non music related employment.
Keep in mind that textbooks, history books, political books, econ books and we can go on and on, are written with the author’s point-of–view. The author of our book, to push his narrative, purposely states some things about western culture music that simply is not true. Statements such as polyrhythms and poly meters not being part of western music are absolutely silly. Another statement that is made in our text is that western music (not country western) is lacking in improvisation. Most secular music, for centuries, was improvised before anyone decided to write it down. All composers and many musicians from the time of instrumental music, improvised. We still do. Jazz is mainly the art of improvisation. That many cultures don’t write down their music is not the fault of the West. Most real folk music from the USA was passed down by ear.
Now for the real reason that I am including this section: This is a story of a brilliant, black composer during the time period of Mozart and Beethoven. This was a time when Napoleon and his followers were busy pushing the idea of cancel culture that scarily seems to be the new push today. The video below is Cancel culture at its worst! As a side note, my grandfather’s name was removed from his poems, novels and operetta librettos due to the cancel culture mob mentality of the Nazi’s then Fascists and later by the socialists/communists. Answer this part one: There are several sections from the above information that you may wish to address. Look for information that might be new for you or may have broken some of your default the stereotyping of classical music for you. I expect college effort. Answer this part 2: on the video link below: What did you learn about Napoleon, Cancel Culture and Chevalier de Saint-Georges during that time? I expect strong effort!

Assignment: Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Part 1: Developing an Academic and Professional Network
When was the last time you read Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions and Several Steps in my Sickness—Meditation XVII?
Unless you are a student of 17th-century poetry, you may not be all that familiar with this piece by author John Donne. However, you may be much more familiar with one of its well-known phrases: “No man is an island.”
As you begin your journey toward achieving your academic and professional goals, you have a great opportunity to network with academics and professionals who can help ensure you do not travel alone. This network can help to clarify your own vision for success and can help guide you now and in the future. To paraphrase Donne, no one is an island.
Begin creating an academic and professional network by identifying which academic and professional connections and resources you need to collaborate with to be successful in your MSN program and as a practicing nurse.
To Prepare:
Consider individuals, departments, teams, and/or resources within Walden University and within your profession that you believe can support your academic and professional success.
Identify at least two academic and at least two professional individuals, colleagues, or teams to collaborate with to help you be successful in your MSN program and as a practicing nurse.

Please read pages 295-309: “John Stuart Mill – On Utilitarianism”

Write a movie evaluation essay over the Conjuring for comp 2. Full 3-4 pages. works cited page plus in text citations MLA format.

Your assignment is to read the primary source that is assigned for each chapter, and then to write an essay explaining what it says, and why it is
significant. Each essay is to be a minimum of 300 words. There is no maximum. Please note that 300 words is a minimum and doing the minimum
amount of work will not necessarily earn you an A for the essay, so please be complete in your writing.

You will need to be careful in the format of your primary source analyses. Follow the traditional introduction/body/conclusion style that is standard in most writing. Your introductory paragraph should not only let the reader know the topic, but also contain a thesis. The body of your essay should give the reader an understanding of the primary source itself, as well as contain a strong analysis. Explain what you read, why it is important, but
look at it with a critical eye. What can we learn from each primary source? Why is it important? How do you know it is important? Do you detect any biases that might alter the accuracy of what is being written? Studying history is about the interpretation of data, and it is your job to interpret
these primary sources. Do not overestimate the importance of a primary source. The analysis should be the bulk of your essay. Your conclusion
should be a short paragraph that simply provides a brief summary. Also, please note that grammar and spelling do count. You will lose a lot of
points if your essays have grammar and spelling problems. These should read like college level scholarly essays

The file that I provided is the only source that can be used. which is “ATHENÆUS”

If possible, could you write in my writing style. I’ll provide a copy, of how I write, so you have an idea. The questions is not my writing, but underneath the questions is how I write. Which is the syllabus quiz.

Proposal
You will submit a proposal and annotated bibliography for your final paper. In this 500-word proposal, you will outline your plan for your final project: topic, thesis, which sources from the course you plan to draw on, etc. You will also submit an annotated bibliography with a minimum of ten sources. For each annotation, in 3-4 sentences, you will explain the main argument of the piece, how it relates to your project, and why you are using it. These sources should be academic in nature and must be recent (nothing before 2004). Proposals and annotated bibliography due by 5pm, Friday July 9th.
Final Paper
While you will have some creative freedom in what you choose to write on, a significant portion of your course grade is a 2000-2500 word (approximately 8-10 double-spaced pages) research paper. It must directly relate to course concepts. Your paper must include an
introduction, conclusion, minimum of ten in-text citations, a bibliography, a thesis statement, and evidence that advances your argument
throughout the paper. You are welcome to use non-academic sources to supplement the ten minimum scholarly sources. Final papers are due by 5pm, Friday July 30th.

– Articulate opinion
§ Students will turn in paper proposal on a topic of their choice related to the

class themes and readings for review by classmates and TAs
– Apply knowledge
§ Students will write final paper that
demonstrates knowledge of class material, proper research methods, and use of outside academic sources
§ Students will gain valuable research, collaboration, and writing skills
§ Students will apply concepts and theories in Feminist Studies to their own
disciplinary backgrounds and perspectives

As Angela Davis explains, the campaign for birth control in the nineteenth century and beyond focused primarily on the right for women to not have children, which left out the needs and
desires of women of color informed by histories of genocide, sterilization, and racial injustice.

Pregnancy, birth control, and access to medical care are central tenets of feminist sex politics. An intersectional approach to reproductive rights has been defined as “reproductive justice”.
If you are interested in these topics, consider further research for your final paper!

Constructing Virginity
Key Themes
The feminine ideal of virginity has historically and religiously rooted significance
Virginity is a socially constructed concept
Conflating sexuality and morality again brings us to Rubin’s “charmed circle”
Reading Questions
How does women’s virginity become seen as “virtuous” and men’s virginity as something shameful and to be rid as soon as possible?
How does race factor into idea about what is the “right” time to have sex for the first time? To have children?
What contemporary examples of construction of teenage virginity do you see today?
If this is a topic that interests you, consider for your final paper focusing on a film, book, or television show that depicts virginity in a way that you think brings up a feminist issue.

Key Themes:
Rape culture functions on the power of myths that continually regenerate sexist ideologies. Myths such as “She asked for it” or “He didn’t mean to” play out over and over again.
The role of alcohol, “miscommunication,” “mixed signals” is significant to how consent is understood in our culture.
Lack of definition of how to communicate consent continues to trouble understandings, but it is a harmful misunderstanding that the lack of a verbal “no” constitutes a “yes”.
If this is a topic that you feel strongly about, consider centering your final paper topic on the #MeToo movement, a popular recent case and its reception such as Brock Turner or Harvey Weinstein, an example of
rape culture in popular culture (a movie, or a TV show), etc.

The due date for your final project proposal is rapidly approaching! Any readings or concepts you find particularly interesting, take some time to look through the article’s bibliography, and to do some further research into the topic.
As you begin to research your paper topic, make sure to take notes for the annotated bibliography part of the assignment.

The physical and biological environment that we depend on for our survival is dynamic. It’s always changing in ways small and large. Humans can alter the pace of this change and change the environment in novel ways.
For this topic, find an environmental issue or problem that affects somewhere in North, Middle or South America. In your post, describe the causes of the issue, the effects (positive and negative) of the issue on the environment and affected people, and also discuss possible ways to remediate the negative effects of its impact.
You should focus your post on a relatively small geographic area. For instance, if you’re talking about deforestation, you could discuss deforestation in the Amazon, or Nicaragua. If you want to talk about pollution, you could focus on Times Beach, Missouri or the Love Canal incident in New York or the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. You can start with your text for some ideas or you can look to news sources as well. Be sure to indicate your source.

(This is a discussion post for a geogrophy101 class thank you)

McMinn discussed guidelines when confronting sin during a counseling experience and the lectures reviewed some factors as well. Your thread needs to be answered in two parts:
First, what would be the challenges (based on the lectures) of confronting clearly wrong behavior/ “sin” in the life of your client if you were working in a secular human services setting? Draw in concepts from the lecture to support your position. How might the approach from psychology make it difficult to confront clearly wrong behavior (worldview and perspective on attribution, for instance)?
Second, assume that you counseled in a human services setting in which you could integrate spirituality and a Christian worldview. Review the following brief “case” and answer the following questions:
Based on the lectures and McMinn, why can’t a sensitive Christian counselor just automatically and quickly confront obvious sin in the life of the counselee?
Of the cautions mentioned by the course materials, which ones do you think counselors most often overlook?
From what you learned from the lectures/McMinn, how would you best address the clearly sinful behavior of this client?
Case Study
Jim is a client in your counseling center, who you have seen for about 8 months. He has been cycled through several other counselors and one described him as a “basket case.” Jim has several children, each with a different mother. He casually mentions that he rarely sees them, and since he can’t hold down a job, he provides no financial support. Some of his children are now in foster care. He engages in unprotected sex on a weekly basis. Typical of many of your clients, Jim drinks heavily and abuses street drugs. He comes to counseling only because it is required for him to receive the tangible support services of your agency. You are at the point in your counseling with Jim that you’d like to “let him have it” but your counseling training did not include that as a valid counseling technique. There is obviously much more to Jim’s story but suffice it to say that he is repeating many of the behaviors he learned from his parents’ dysfunctional parenting.
While you are sharing opinion here, you must demonstrate informed opinion by supporting your points with references to the course materials.
