In your view, what would have been the best way to “collect” stories of 9/11?

Answer the following question in a thoughtful paragraph
For your final discussion post of the semester, I would like you to check out the Voices of 9-11 project housed at the September 11 Digital Archive . Listen to one of the accounts of the personal memories of 9-11. Briefly relate to the rest of us what they talked about. (Be sure to include their name in you post) What do they remember? How would you characterize the delivery of their history (spontaneous? thoughtful? emotional? etc.). How long after 9-11 was this interview recorded? After you have described the content of the video, discuss how you think the dynamics of the interview influenced how or what they remembered of events. How would the interview have been different if they were speaking to an actual interviewer rather than a camera? How might their recollections have taken a different shape if they were accompanied by a friend or family member? In your view, what would have been the best way to “collect” stories of 9/11? With a video camera? An interviewer? In groups? In written form?
You can find A LOT more interviews here if you feel like looking around.

Which of the following comedic principles are used?

For this assignment, I would like you to review this video version of the farcical comedy, NOISES OFF, by analyzing the comedic elements. Which of the following comedic principles are used? Please describe the scene and where and how the comedic principle is used. Please choose 3 total elements and write one paragraph for each one. I’ve grouped them according to how you first encountered them.

For example, you might choose Incongruity, Inversion, and Exaggeration. Or, you might choose Misdirection, Repetition, and Narrative Gags. The choice is up to you! You can choose 3 from any of the following:
1. INCONGRUITY–As you will remember, this works by the element of surprise–people are not expecting the ending of the joke given to them. This process is described as Zig–Zig–Zag. Something normal is described, then something normal is described again, then something gets flipped which is a surprise to the audience. This makes it funny. It is also called THE RULE OF THREE in scripts.
2. THE THREE RULES OF COMEDY: (Choose any of these–you don’t need to use all three) Inversion, Repetition, and Comedic Paradox.
3. TIM FERGUSON’s PRINCIPLES OF COMEDY: (Choose any of these–you don’t need to use all three) Straight up Gags, Narrative Gags, Uber Principles
4. HOW TO BE FUNNY VIDEO: (Choose any of these–you don’t need to use all 7) Exaggeration, Misdirection, Storytelling, Teasing, Sarcasm, Puns, Role-Playing.
5. SLAPSTICK OR PHYSICAL COMEDY.

3) Then write about the parties involved in the foreign exchange markets.

4) Then write about the effect of a stronger dollar on a US exporting firm and a foreign firm exporting to the US, a foreign tourist in the US and a US tourist, a foreign investor in US and a US investor abroad.

5) What happens to real GDP when dollar appreciates in value?
Here you can mention some economies following a pegged exchange rate and keeping the value of their currency artificially low to boost exports which increases net exports which in turn increases real GDP.

Explain how aspects of culture relate to the human experience.

Explain how aspects of culture relate to the human experience.
As we have discussed throughout this course:
The arts are an important aspect of culture and are unique among the humanities in their ability to express values, with values being part of the human experience. We have grouped values into five specific types: individual, societal, spiritual, political, and environmental.
All art disciplines express the human experience in some way, shape, or form. We have focused on three fundamental art disciplines: the visual arts (specifically painting and sculpture), literature (specifically poetry), and music (specifically instrumental classical music).
There are three types of criticism used to analyze art: descriptive (focused on form and subject matter), interpretive (focused on how form transforms subject matter into content), and evaluative (focused on the standards of perfection, insight, and inexhaustibility).

With the above in mind, write an essay in which you:
Discuss the three value types that are most important in your life and explain how each value type is expressed by a specific work of art (from those provided for this assignment, with each work being from a different art discipline) using descriptive criticism, interpretive criticism, and evaluative criticism.

Your essay must be 1000-1250 words long and should be written in multiple paragraphs, as follows:
INTRODUCTION [at least 200 words]: State the purpose of this essay (an introductory sentence is sufficient) and explain which of the three value types are most important in your life. List and discuss your three value types in the same order that you will use them in the following three sections of your essay (see steps 2-4). This section should be one to two paragraphs.
VISUAL ART [at least 200 words]: Use descriptive criticism and interpretive criticism, including relevant discipline-based vocabulary, to discuss ONE work of visual art from the Works for Course Essay page that YOU believe expresses your first value type. When writing this section, make sure that there is a clear distinction between your use of these two types of criticism, as follows:
Write a paragraph in which you introduce your chosen work, state the value type that you believe it expresses, and use descriptive criticism to describe the work’s subject matter and overall form.
Write a paragraph in which you use interpretive criticism to explain how your chosen work expresses the value type, focusing on ONE specific aspect of the work’s form that best enables it to do so.
LITERATURE [at least 200 words]: Use descriptive criticism and interpretive criticism, including relevant discipline-based vocabulary, to discuss ONE work of literature from the Works for Course Essay page that YOU believe expresses your second value type. When writing this section, make sure that there is a clear distinction between your use of these two types of criticism, as follows:
Write a paragraph in which you introduce your chosen work, state the value type that you believe it expresses, and use descriptive criticism to describe the work’s subject matter and overall form.
Write a paragraph in which you use interpretive criticism to explain how your chosen work expresses the value type, focusing on ONE specific aspect of the work’s form that best enables it to do so.
MUSIC [at least 200 words]: Use descriptive criticism and interpretive criticism, including relevant discipline-based vocabulary, to discuss ONE work of music from the Works for Course Essay page that YOU believe expresses your third value type. When writing this section, make sure that there is a clear distinction between your use of these two types of criticism, as follows:
Write a paragraph in which you introduce your chosen work, state the value type that you believe it expresses, and use descriptive criticism to describe the work’s subject matter and overall form.
Write a paragraph in which you use interpretive criticism to explain how your chosen work expresses the value type, focusing on ONE specific aspect of the work’s form that best enables it to do so.
CONCLUSION [at least 200 words]: Use evaluative criticism to justify which ONE of your three chosen works best demonstrates the standards of perfection, insight, and inexhaustibility in expressing its respective value type. This section should be one to two paragraphs.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:
Outside research is NOT permitted for this assignment. While you may review the course material as needed, you may not conduct ANY research on your chosen works. Doing so will be considered academic dishonesty, resulting in your essay earning a “0” grade.
While you may review the material included for each work on the Works for Course Essay page, you may NOT quote or paraphrase it in your essay. You may include basic facts about a work from this material, though your work analysis must be completely your own.
Your completed essay must be submitted by the posted due date as a PDF file via the submission link for this assignment. Late submissions will not be accepted for any reason, except in the case of significant documented medical and/or personal issues.
Properly punctuate and format work titles as explained on the Writing About the Arts page. After doing so the first time in your writing, you should refer to each work simply by punctuated title OR by artist and work type (e.g., Cole’s painting) – not by both.
When discussing any type of art work, avoid such meaningless wording as, “The red gave the painting a pop of color!”. Instead, use descriptive wording, such as, “The artist’s use of red adds a strong contrast to the painting’s overall color scheme of dark browns and greens.”
When discussing a work of literature, you may quote select lines from the work if necessary and if you properly enclose the lines in quotation marks. However, such quotations will NOT count toward the assignment’s minimum word count requirement.
When discussing a work of music, focus on the work’s emotional content rather than on imagery that it inspires (e.g., no “it made me think of a field of flowers”). Also, please do not reference cartoons when discussing a piece of music (e.g., no “Tom & Jerry” or Disney).
Your essay must meet the assignment’s minimum word count requirement (1,000 words), though doing so does not guarantee that it will earn a passing grade. Even more important than meeting the minimum word count is the content quality of your essay.
Make sure to carefully proofread your essay for writing quality, including grammar and mechanics (spelling, punctuation, capitalization, etc.), before submitting it. If you need help with your writing, you are encouraged to make use of Tutor.com.
Your essay MUST be formatted as “print-ready”, with one-inch margins, double spacing, indented paragraphs, page numbers, and a standard 10- to 12-point black font (e.g., Calibri). Include a title (e.g., Course Essay), your name, date, course, and section at the top of your essay.
Your completed essay should be carefully compared to the below rubric before being submitted. In addition to the items listed on the rubric, point deductions up to 30% of the essay grade (45 pts.) may be incurred for writing, formatting, and/or citation issues.
