*** For this discussion, you will utilize functions to provide a way to clear Python’s integrated development environment (IDLE) window. In your initial post, provide the function for achieving this task and explain the process of clearing the IDLE window. Discuss some challenges that you faced in accomplishing this task.
Note: The “cls” and “clear” commands are used to clear a terminal (i.e., a DOS prompt or terminal window).
*** Prior to beginning this assignment, read Chapter 5 & 6 (attached).
For this interactive assignment, you will continue to utilize loops and functions and write a Python program that asks the user for an integer (number) greater than 1. Once the user enters an integer, it should then allow the user to choose between the following two options:
If 1 is entered, a countdown from that number to zero is printed.
If 2 is entered, the factorial of the number is printed.
If the user inputs a number less than 1, your program should display a message informing the user that the program only accepts numbers greater than 1.
(Note: As a programmer, you should always consider telling the user what type of data the program is expecting before they attempt to enter that data.)
Once you have completed the program, take a screen shot of the completed functionality (including the input and the output) and save it in a Word document, along with the script.
In your initial post,
Attach your Word document.
Describe your process in developing the program.
the final presentation, you will create a 10- to 12-slide presentation analyzing a real-world scenario when change was needed in an organization. Change refers to the act of replacing something or making it different. Change in organizations is often related to improvement of organizational processes or accepted behaviors. Your choice of scenario could be from an organization that you have worked in previously or from a high-profile organization you have heard about in the news.
In addition to designing slides, you must also include slide notes (also called Speaker Notes). For each slide, your Speaker Notes should contain a minimum of 100 words describing and expanding on the content. For help with your slide notes, review this guide: Add Speaker Notes to Your Slides (Links to an external site.).
Once you have created your presentation, you will need to save it as a PDF file with your Speaker Notes visible and submit it to Waypoint.
Prior to beginning work on this presentation,
Read the required sections of Chapter 11 of Leadership: Theory and Practice.
Read Chapters 6, 7, 9, and 12 of An Introduction to Leadership.
Especially focus on Section 12.2, which explains Kotter’s model of organizational change.
Find three scholarly, peer-reviewed, or credible sources about your chosen scenario, leader, or organization.
Consider reviewing the Writing Center’s guide on How to Make a PowerPoint Presentation (Links to an external site.).
In your 10- to 12-slide presentation,
Provide a high-level description of the organization you are analyzing.
What organization are you analyzing?
Who are the leaders involved and what are their roles?
What is the challenge or change needed with this organization?
Identify one leader within the organization to analyze.
Who is the leader you chose?
What is their position and background?
Describe one to two behaviors used by that leader to initiate or manage the change.
Analyze their leadership approach using Kotter’s model of organizational change.
Look at the eight steps of Kotter’s model, and discuss any steps that are pertinent to your organization. You do not need to address all eight steps, but please address at least two to three.
Analyze how that leader influenced the organization’s vision, mission, and strategy.
Evaluate the leadership styles used by your leader and whether they were effective.
Remember: Add at least 100 words of explanation to the Speaker Notes section of each slide.
The purpose of this assignment
is to explore the many ways in which musical performance may be used as a tool
to raise funds and/or awareness for a specific cause, organization, or other
social issue.
In this module, you read Chapters 6-9 of
Playing for Change as well as Reebee Garofalo’s article about megaevents.
You will consider what you read
and identify a cause, organization, or social issue that is important to you.
You will then provide a summary of your own megaevent that will either raise
money or awareness for your chosen cause, organization, or social issue. You
will create an initial playlist of at least ten songs for your event. This
assignment may be submitted in the format of your choice. The options are: 1. A
written essay of 400-500 words describing your megaevent plus your typed
playlist (MS Word or Pages).
*The estimated time to give a
400-500-word oral presentation is roughly 4 minutes. Add more time if you plan
to play examples from your playlist during your response. **If you choose to
complete an audio or video response, you must also submit a typed list of the
resources you used in MLA citation format as well as the typed playlist.
. Examples include: • a live concert that may be
simultaneously broadcast or live-streamed • a largescale pre-recorded concert
or album that will be released on a specific date • any other format that you
think would reach a large number of people Step 2 – Identify songs, musicians,
and bands who you would like to participate in your megaevent. For the purpose
of this assignment, you can choose songs from any era. The musicians do not
have to be living and you can assume you will have access to recordings of the
songs for your megaevent if the musicians cannot perform live. Try to find at
least a few songs that directly relate to your cause, organization, or social
issue. You may find musicians who are known to support specific issues and
include them as part of your lineup even if the content of their songs does not
directly relate to the cause. For example, the alternative country/Southern
rock group Drive-By Truckers supports Nuçi’s Space (an organization that aims
to prevent suicide and end the stigma surrounding mental illness).
Therefore,
if I were planning a megaevent with a focus on suicide prevention and mental
health, I may include songs by that group. Step 3 – In roughly 400-500 words
for a written assignment or in 4-5 minutes for an audio or video assignment,
provide background information about the cause, social issue, 2 or organization
you chose for your megaevent. Discuss the songs and musicians/bands you chose
and explain why/how they relate to the event. Consider the potential audience
for the event and discuss the ways in which they may be persuaded to support
the cause or organization because of your megaevent. If you chose to raise
awareness about a social issue, consider whether your megaevent could
potentially mobilize participants to take action in some way. Remember to
reference information from Reebee Garofalo’s article and/or Chapters 6-9 from
Playing for Change in your essay or audio/video recording. Step 4 – Create a
playlist with a minimum of 10 songs. You must provide the song title,
artist/performer, and a link to an audio or video version of the song if it is
available online. If a recording of the song is not available online, please at
least include a link to the lyrics. Submit your playlist with your essay or
audio/video recording. Please remember the following: • Please proofread your
work (or listen back to your recording) and be sure you have included all
relevant MLA citations in your assignment. • Remember to submit your playlist
with a minimum of 10 songs and a list of resources in MLA format even if you
completed the audio or video option for this assignment.

Discuss on renewable energy classroom work power point.
Discuss hypothetically speaking, maybe younger children being on social media like TikTok can have a little increase in preventing them from using drugs in the long run. The media plays a big role in the War of Drugs. Like stated before Celebrities have a hold on millions of people. What people’s favorite celebrities do, they follow. Media promotes drugs and drug dealing then more people will do them and it starts to become more of a trend.
Anastasyia: In chapter 5 of the book, Goode suggests that the media tends to dramatically overstate the actual number of drug users. I am somewhat agreeing and disagreeing with him. The media does provide false information in some cases to catch the reader’s attention so that more copies of their newspapers would sell out. This connects to the money machine theory that Goode mentioned on page 138. Their main goal is to deliver profit, even if that will lead to “triviality, sensationalism, bias, and irrelevancy” (Goode, 2020, pg 138). Even now some newspapers would say higher numbers just to make their news more interesting to read, knowing that most of their readers will not go looking if that information is legit. On the other hand, newspapers like The New York Times would not risk their reputation for extra money, and instead, they make sure to check if the information they post is reliable. Media plays a big role in the “War on Drugs” because it can influence people in different ways. Some might watch a TV program, or read an article about drug use and abuse and decide for themselves that this is not what they want to do in their life. Others might see a movie that shows drug addicts as funny people that are having a great time, making the viewers be interested in trying out that drug. Media spreads all kinds of information around the world and it is never clear whether this information is true or false.
