In this course, we are considering the realities and perceptions of death from a cross-cultural perspective, and it is time to venture into the world “out there” where it all happens, including death: into our own culture. This is your field research focus for this course: the “out there”, and its articulation into a report, also as a “Signature Assignment” required by PCC. Our intention is to get an overview from interviewees towards some indications of how the USA views death today. This of course is an elaborate topic and we will shamelessly and simply reduce it by intention and design into one simple question, which gives us methodological consistency (reliability), an imperative for the research, and some interesting data. You are not expected to define death or expectations about death from this or produce a summary statistical statement, but simply to search out any themes and possible consistencies that may be present from your interactions and the resulting data from a selection of people, and to present them as a report. Accordingly:

1. INITIAL WORK: Select 8 people however you wish: one female, one male, or one other gender category in each of four age cohorts: 30-39 years old; 40-49; 50-59; and 60-69. These age categories are intentional: they are consistent and do not include young adults or those over 69, which gives us a set of individuals should be still substantially active in their public lives (working or not); this is the social aggregate we are using here. This exercise is also a field experience as much as a formal study, so select your interviewees as you will with attention to gender, ethnicity, education and social status: you can work out what is reasonable and balanced for you. This excludes, for example, using only one immediate member of family if the ages fit, since experiences there are directly shared and could condition their statements; keeping a sense of “operational randomness” – this is an application of what is termed “opportunistic” or “purposive” sampling in statistics and is not “grab and run”, it is guided selection and includes randomness. If you have someone who is 28-ish and a good interviewee, or similarly someone 70-ish, that’s acceptable.

2. INTERVIEWING: Having introduced yourself nicely and chatted a bit, (a) tell them you are doing a study for a college course, and (b) that you want to ask them a question. (c) Once you have have spoken with them a bit and have their agreement (a casual, discursive one; don’t be too formal; it’s a discussion), (d) ask each interviewee this question LITERALLY:

“In the USA, do you think views about death have changed over the past years?

ASK THIS QUESTION EXACTLY AS IT IS GIVEN HERE; DO NOT CHANGE IT. This provides the methodological consistency for our collective data. You can repeat it (you will probably have to, since it will surprise them) and be supportive but do NOT modify the question, and definitely do NOT answer or suggest answers; this is a ability you will pick up quickly; you are directing this. Give them some time, watch how they react, and note how they reply to the question. Record their replies in a succinct way. Death is not minor, and it is also a major avoidance and denial matter in the USA (as some choose to say now, “death is optional”), so your informants may react at first or they may get very interested; just stay with it. If there is no respond or reply after your effort, or they seem too reactive or confused, thank them politely, record the response and move on; we still have some very valuable data there in its own right, so keep your notes going.

3. PROCESSING: Write these results up (i.e., summarize your results for me) in a paper of no more than 4 OR 5 double-spaced pages. Have an introductory paragraph (in real life, it’s called an “Executive Summary”); Use any table, chart or grid your may wish (e.g., a “matrix” or box of 2 columns, with 4 rows for each of the four cohorts (age-groups), i.e., one column for Male and one for Female and 4 boxes for the age-categories is very effective). Be sure to provide an Appendix succinctly listing what you can about your interviewee backgrounds; this can be itemized as words and numbers,, not sentences or paragraphs; it tells us something about the sources of your data.

4. CONCLUSION: The conclusion of this write-up of your report should end with a paragraph that give a summary of any themes, patterns and recurring similarities (or the lack thereof) that you observed from your interactions and in your data overall. This is very important: in fact, it’s the essentially qualitative result from your essentially quantitative fieldwork. Overall, we do not need a long report elaborately footnoted; this is not that sort of assignment. You are doing it for the actual experience, yourself, me, in effect us and not the New York Times. we want it to be readable, interesting and succinct.

The challenge is to get their responses (you may find that once you get them going, it is hard to stop them) into a theme or themes from your data, since this is the core of the assignment. Notice the “themes”, to give you some stretch, not “I just can’t”: you can indeed get their response to the question and assess their sense of position on it; it’s a conversation about a specific question. I understand the complexity (hey, this is fieldwork). You can do this, others have, and it’s a better alternative than yet another Assignment paper (and N.B., with far more points). Also, it is very real and ever timely. We are not looking for overall statistical affirmation; but we do want themes and patterns, whatever they may be: that’s the gold.

Realize that in effect, you represent both yourself and PCC. Tell your interviewees that it is for an unusual course and a demanding anthropology prof, and be attentive, polite, and not pushy. IF it gets at all complicated, just be diplomatic, excuse yourself politely and firmly, and find another person. I could go on at great length but will not; do it, enjoy it (believe it or not), and write it up. You will learn much, and you will have done some real fieldwork and in your own way, become a specialist however limited the exercise. You could even add it, properly titled and formatted, to your resumé (everyone should have a resumé these days); it’s a bona-fide research paper!

Thesis: Shakespeare’s portrayal of women in his plays is a complex and multifaceted subject that reflects both the patriarchal norms of his time and his own innovative ideas about gender and identity, as seen through the depiction of female characters who challenge traditional gender roles and expectations, while also perpetuating negative stereotypes and limiting the agency of women. In this paper, I intend to examine the characters of Ophelia and Lady Macbeth as representatives of the two opposite ends of this spectrum.
Outline:
1. Introduction
Background information on Shakespeare’s plays and their portrayal of women
Brief overview of the different perspectives and debates surrounding this topic
Thesis statement
2. Historical and cultural context of Shakespeare’s time
Overview of gender roles and expectations in the Elizabethan era (keep as short as possible)
Analysis of how these norms influenced Shakespeare’s portrayal of women
3. Positive portrayal of women in Shakespeare’s plays
One example of female characters who challenge gender norms and expectations
how these characters reflect Shakespeare’s innovative ideas about gender and identity
4. Negative portrayal of women in Shakespeare’s plays
One example of female characters who are limited by traditional gender roles and stereotypes
how these characters reflect patriarchal norms of Shakespeare’s time
5. Ophelia as ultimate victim
Because of her passive obedience to Polonius’s request that she break up with Hamlet and her subsequent madness and death, Ophelia is often seen as one of Shakespeare’s most pathetic female characters.
Representative critical views of Ophelia
Recap of Ophelia as passive victim
Obedient to her father, as demanded by society
Passively taking Hamlet’s abuse during nunnery scene
Incapable of surviving either his death or her possible abandonment by Hamlet after he seduces her.
Her insanity as a sign of weakness
Her possible suicide as metaphor for lack of power over her life
Alternative reading of Ophelia
Shakespeare’s destruction of her can be viewed as a compassionate warning of the quandary young women found themselves in during the late medieval/Renaissance era.
The irony of her potential seduction in light of the fact that Laertes’s warning about Hamlet comes right before his departure to France, where he is likely to engage in some seducing of his own (Ophelia’s response to him is an early condemnation of the double standard.)
6. Lady Macbeth as both monster and victim
Lady MB as monster who exceeds the boundaries of womanhood and causes the downfall of not only her husband but her own and many others’.
Alternative reading of Lady MB as a protofeminist trapped by her sex and unable to act out her ambitions for herself.
7. Conclusion
Recap of the main points and arguments presented in the essay
Final thoughts on the significance of Shakespeare’s portrayal of women in his plays
Suggestions for future research and analysis.

attached you will find a sample marketing plan to what is needed and how its to look

John Martin and John Rose decided to start a new business to manufacture
noncarbonated soft drinks. They believed that their location in East Texas, close to
high-quality water, would give them a competitive edge. Although Martin and Rose
had never worked together, Martin had 17 years of experience in the soft drink
industry. Rose had recently sold his firm and had funds to help finance the venture;
however, the partners needed to raise additional money from outside investors. Both men were excited about the opportunity and spent almost 3 months developing their marketing plan. The first paragraph of their executive summary reflected their
excitement:
The “New Age” beverage market is the result of a spectacular boom in demand for
drinks with the nutritional value from environmentally safe ingredients and waters that come from deep, clear springs free of chemicals and pollutants. Argon Beverage
Corporation will produce and market a full line of sparkling fruit drinks, flavored
waters, and sports drinks that are of the highest quality and purity. These drinks
have the same delicious taste appeal as soft drinks while using the most healthful
fruit juices, natural sugars, and the purest spring water, the hallmark of the “New Age” drink market. With the help of a well-developed marketing plan, the two men were
successful in raising the necessary capital to begin their business. They leased
facilities and started production. However, after almost two years, the plan’s goals
were not being met. There were cost overruns, and profits were not nearly up to
expectations.
Question 1 What problems might have contributed to the firm’s poor performance?
Question 2 List two factors that you would include in an executive summary
Question 3 What are the main goals of an executive summary
Question 4 List eight major sections of a Marketing Plan
