EXTRA NOTES TO CONSIDER:

To do this, we will be using a fictitious company, CapraTek, for our case study. The audience for Assessments 2 through 5 is the top management of the company. The company is about to embark on a change in their business and have hired you to see if the company itself is ready.

When given a case study in doctoral courses, you must discuss only what you can deduce from the text of the case itself. You cannot make up any data or information about CapraTek.

This course is about learning how to identify and understand business problems, with the goal of being to examine them well. It is not about solving problems. Nowhere in the assessment instructions or scoring guides is there anything about solving problems. So, please do not offer solutions!

Rather, recommend ideas, concepts, tools, or platforms that CapraTek might consider as they discover for themselves if there are problems.

Again, this course is NOT about solving problems, so please do not offer any solutions.

When starting to work on an assessment, please carefully review the detailed assessment instructions and the Scoring Guide criteria. You are expected to meet every one of these requirements in detail.

Tips for Assessment

1. This course is about identifying and understanding business problems. It is NOT about solving them! So please do not try to. Focus on understanding the problems well.

2. CapraTek is a fictional company that will be the focus of this course.

3. When identifying problems, the Best Practice is to say “The xxx problem is …” and follow with exactly one problem. This will help you stay focused and develop sub-problems.

4. You will be writing a “Riipen” type project of a scope that a Capella learner can dol You can assume you are writing a project for Capratek based on one of your formulated problem statements that could be completed by a Capella learner. For clarity, you are only using Riipen to find ideas for a project; you will not be conducting a project for Riipen.

How did Reagan convince Americans that tax cuts and deregulation would enhance their freedoms?

One of the central features of conservatism since Barry Goldwater was the idea that the federal government had become too large, too excessive, and too wasteful. Ever since the New Deal in the 1930s taxes increased, and government regulations had increased on businesses. Conservatives criticized Liberal government as eroding the freedoms of hardworking Americans. In his inaugural address in 1981 Ronald Reagan stated that government was the problem and not the solution to the nation’s woes. This was a reversal of Roosevelt’s idea that government was on the side of the people because it represented the interests people. How did Reagan convince Americans that tax cuts and deregulation would enhance their freedoms? Did he succeed?

Did Peter the Hermit act in accordance with the Pope’s wishes?

For this writing assignment, choose one of the prompts below and write an informal letter to a friend or family member. You need to put yourself in the shoes of someone living during the applicable time period. Modern notions of law, justice, etc. are not relevant, for example. Even though this is an informal letter, you need to include direct evidence from the required readings (quoted material) to support your ideas.

Your letter must be at least three full pages long, excluding the title page / header and bibliography. The sources provided must be the foundation of your paper. You do not need any “outside” sources to complete your assignment successfully.

Although the writing itself is informal, because you are still required to use source material, you must also include MLA, APA, or Chicago style citations. If you need help with any of the citation styles, there are guides within the APUS Online Library. I am also happy to help with any questions you may have.

Your work will be graded using the department’s General Education Grading Rubric.

In November 1095, Pope Urban II called together the Council of Clermont to organize the First Crusade. In April the following year, Peter the Hermit led a band of untrained and unskilled peasants through the Rhineland (modern day Germany) on the way to the Holy Lands. This particular expedition came to be known as the People’s Crusade or the Peasants’ Crusade. As Peter and his followers marched through the Rhineland, they massacred entire Jewish communities that they encountered, occasionally offering to spare some lives if the would-be victims agreed to convert to Christianity instead. Historians have argued that “probably one-fourth to one-third of the Jewish population of Germany and Northern France at that time” were murdered during the Crusade. Who was Urban II’s “intended target” for the First Crusade? Did Peter the Hermit act in accordance with the Pope’s wishes? Using at least three of the versions of Urban II’s speech at Clermont, write a letter to a friend or family member justifying or condemning the People’s/Peasants’ Crusade. Be sure to keep your reasoning within the proper historical context (medieval Europe). For example, the idea that no one should be killed or persecuted based on their religion is not relevant.
The link below provides all five excerpts. You will need to refer to the author of each one and / or include it at the beginning of your citation to illustrate exactly which excerpts you are using.

Explain how experimental documentaries can be considered a documentary film: the usage of reenactment and voice-over in Tongues Untied.

Explain how experimental documentaries can be considered a documentary film: the usage of reenactment and voice-over in Tongues Untied.

This paper will discuss how experimental documentary can be regarded as a documentary genre, with Tongues Untied (1989) as the object of analysis and research. Tongues Untied is a documentary known for conveying topics such as “Black-on-black homophobia,” “white racism,” and the Lived experience of AIDS among gay black men with experimental visual and audial (such as the reenactment of the phone-sex scene and repeating phrase voice-over), also, non-linear narrative as its primary structure. Tongues Untied interspersed with poetry from Essex Hemphill and Joseph Beam, Soul music, Vogue dancing, the performance of snapping expression, and archive footage of protest and police discrimination to capture the diversity of black gay life experiences in the United States. The unique usage of reenactment scenes and the penetration of voice-over throughout the film Intrigue me to argue the reliability of the film’s disruptive narrative style as a documentary film. This paper would also emphasize exploring what value director Marlon Riggs wants to convey to his primary audience through these highly poetic and expressive scenes. This paper will take Dirk Eitzen’s “When is a Documentary?: Documentary as a Mode of Reception” and the concept of “the four fundamental tendencies of documentary” and “the four functions as modalities of desire” that Michael Renov mentioned in “Toward a poetics of Documentary” as the examine how Tongues United’s poetic reenactment scenes and artistic voice-over features fit what it takes to be a documentary. In addition, this paper will also refer to the chapter “Dark and Lovely Too: Black Gay Men in Independent Film” in “Queer Looks” to articulate how this very first black independent production publicly addresses the black homosexuality experience. And, taking this notion into account to comprehend the influence of this film on the public.
