Why has our modern notion of revolution found more inspiration from the failures of 1789 than the successes of 1776?

Based on the book : Arendt, “on revolution”, chapter 1, ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hSsNRB3DfKXiWHo-2WARUayiKBq3vN7v/view) using references and direct citations, answer the question : “Trace Arendts argument that Revolution is a fundamentally modern concept to explain why she can state that the [failed] French Revolution has made world history, while the [successful] American Revolution has remained an event of little more than local importance. Why has our modern notion of revolution found more inspiration from the failures of 1789 than the successes of 1776?

Identify a significant effect, influence, reaction (or lack of effect, lack of influence, lack of reaction).

Tell one detailed, real story that focuses on a reaction. Do not summarize repeated experiences as one story using would. Instead, focus on specific scenes that make up the story and demonstrate your ability to use the four elements of narration (action, description, dialogue, and exposition). In the story, consider describing the setting and people. Also, provide dialogue when appropriate. IMPORTANT SUGGESTION: Consider beginning the story with the word Once.
NO: When I was a child, I would go hiking with my sister.
YES: Once, when I was ten years old, my sister and I hiked a new trail we discovered near a stream.
Identify a significant effect, influence, reaction (or lack of effect, lack of influence, lack of reaction). You may initially focus on an emotional reaction, a thought, and/or an action, behavior, or habit.
Ask why questions to move backwards in time until you determine the true cause of the effect, influence, or reaction. Keep in mind a cause may not be just one thing. It may be circumstances or conditions that function in a complicated way. For example, if you focus on the influence of a compliment, think about the way the compliment was delivered: via email, via whisper, via shout, in private, in public, over dinner, prior to a celebration, after a mistake, by a friend, by a stranger, by a respected teacher, by a parent, etc.
At this point, you should be able to identify the steps of the process. Draw a timeline that identifies the steps and labels cause(s), immediate reaction, short term impact, and possibly long term influence or lasting impression.
When you can explain the cause-effect sequence observable in your example, classify the relevant elements of the story. What type of person are you focusing on? What type of situation is represented in the story? What type of setting? What type of reaction?
Shift to the present tense to discuss the classified pattern but stay with past tense when discussing the example.
When I discovered the new trail, my imagination sparked images of potential magical discoveries because . . .
When young, curious children discover new paths, whether sidewalks, roads, or trails in the woods, they often imagine wonderful and magical discoveries that await them because . . .
Focus on additional stories or examples as possible and appropriate that directly connect to the explanation of the classified pattern. When readers perceive multiple examples, it is easier for them to comprehend the explanation and validate the claims presented by the writer.

Explain how the situation affects Phoenix Advertising as a company and why it demands immediate attention.

For this exam, you’ll write three business communications: an interoffice memorandum, an email to the payroll office, and a business letter. You should submit all three in one Microsoft Word document. The Grading Criteria section below makes a good checklist for the expectations for each part of this assignment in terms of content and format.
Background
Phoenix Advertising, with its main headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, serves clients that include banks, insurance companies and local businesses such as restaurants and shops. Youre the vice president of human resources management at Phoenix, and you report directly to Gregory S. Forest, the president of the company.
Mr. Forest advises you that in the last month, four clients have complained about the advertising work produced by the Roanoke, Virginia branch of the agency. He reminds you that the Roanoke branch and its clients are vital to the overall success of the company.
Mr. Forest explains what he has learned about the situation at the Roanoke branch over the last three months. Three graphic designers and four copywriters have threatened to quit because their creative contributions on projects are being rejected or revised without their input. They want to be part of a collaborative team, not to simply produce work that the art directors and account executives can alter arbitrarily. These changes to projects have also caused tension between the creative teams and account managers, causing an art director and an account manager to leave the agency.
In addition to the four clients who complained, others haven’t renewed their contracts with Roanoke. Several have posted poor reviews of the Roanoke branch on social media sites, leading to a drop in profits.
In an attempt to increase revenues, the branch is accepting new clients without evaluating the effects of the new accounts on the current project workload. As a result, without notice or compensation for the additional hours, all salaried employees are required to work long hours several days each week. Employee morale and productivity are declining day by day.

Part 2: Email to Payroll Office at Roanoke Branch
Write an email to the person in charge of payroll at the Roanoke branch of Phoenix Advertising. If necessary, brainstorm further about your department, your staff, and the agencys policies about overtime.
Invent email addresses for yourself and another person in your department. Use the company name as the host rather than general commercial providers like AOL or Yahoo. Include all necessary components such as the @ symbol.
Using the ABC method, draft an email of three to four paragraphs.
Briefly acknowledge that you are aware of the problems at the Roanoke branch.
Assign the staff person in charge of payroll to provide you with payroll statements from the Roanoke branch for the last 12 months.

Explain clearly what you need that person to do, the date you need the information, and how you want the person to convey the information to you.
Be sure you follow the format of the sample email, using the new content youve written for the assignment. Use a specific subject line formatted in title case. Do not use an email app for this part of the exam.
Part 3: Letter to Phoenix Advertisings Social Media Director
Write a business letter to the social media director of Phoenix advertising. If necessary, brainstorm further. Draw on your own experience reading reviews and other online content.
Create Phoenix Advertising letterhead.
Use proper business letter format including an attention line, a salutation, three to four paragraphs using the ABC method, and a signature block. Use a script font to emulate a signature.
Acknowledge the importance of the social media teams work for the company
Briefly summarize the areas of concern at Roanoke that Mr. Forest has brought to your attention.
Explain that youve read the clients comments online, and create 2-3 examples of critical or negative postings.

Is it clear from reading your assignment that you read the case and understood what happened that led up to the mistakes that were made and that yielded the fires and explosions?

The Columbia Gas of Massachusetts case – Your assignment is to identify 2 to 4 project management issues and provide a draft of solutions and the pros and cons of each.
How this will be graded:

Structure, Organization, Ease of reading, Grammar: 3 Points

This Assignment had a very, very specific structure. Identify 2-4 issues. Come up with solutions for those issues and summarize them briefly. Provide a table with Pros and Cons for each, use a weighted table to rank the solutions and select the best to implment, and wrap it all up with an overall (but brief) recommendation what could have been done to help prevent this disaster from a PM perspective. DID YOU FOLLOW THIS STRUCTURE?
Did you follow the advice given in the lectures and From Your Instructor about the format?
Did you follow rules of English grammar, spelling, and syntax? Did you fix errors pointed out via Words editing capabilities (e.g. squiggly blue or red underlined text)?

Content: 10 Points

Is it clear from reading your assignment that you read the case and understood what happened that led up to the mistakes that were made and that yielded the fires and explosions?
Did you dig deeper? Some people identify very technical issues did you find the underlying reasoning – the project-level thinking that may have driven decisions to go a certain way technically?
Did you keep your writing concise and to the point? Part of the intent of this assignment is an exercise in expressing important ideas in as efficient a way as possible.
Was there a logical flow from your Issue Identification to your Proposed Solutions, to your Pros and Cons and to your conclusion?
Did you create a weighted table (see example) to compare the proposed the solutions in terms of ease of implmentation and effectiveness?
If you did have extra information to exhibit, did you put it in an Appendix rather than in the body of the text? Again, the focus is on a concise, crisp presentation of your arguments.

References and resources: 2 Points

Did you provide several relevant references that helped make your points? Of course you can use the main Case as a reference, but did you reach out and find out more about the Columbia Gas incident from other sources? You really should at least investigate the references pointed to at the bottom of this Case at a minimum.

Other things to consider:

Did you add value from your own professional and/or personal experience?
Did you make appropriate use of figures and tables in an appendix? Don’t substitute quantity for quality here – one good, relevant, and meaningful small table is worth 100 randomly inserted graphs and charts.
Did you really take on the viewpoint of a project leader here, and consider the way the team was motivated, the way the different stakeholders communicated (or didnt), the culture of the different companies?
Did you consider the different stakeholder interests?

I will upload an example paper from the professor, and also the general information about the case.

Assignment Details
Overview:
Use the following 2 starting points to develop your essay on morality and ethics:
The article by Jay Feldman: Sunday Dialogue: How Corporations Behave
Alfred North Whitehead’s controversial statement, “What is morality in any given time and place? It is what the majority then and there happen to like and immorality is what they dislike” (as cited in BrainyQuote, 2021).
Think about those two perspectives, and then select 1 of the focal questions in Part 1 of the assignment. Your response to the selected focal question will guide you to formulate a thesis statement.
Discuss the article and Whiteheads statement in the introduction, body, and conclusion of the essay.
Locate and utilize at least 2 credible sources to support the arguments presented in your paper. Make sure you cite them appropriately within your paper, and list them in APA format on your Reference page.
Ensure that your paper is 45 pages in length, not counting the Title page and Reference page. In accordance with APA formatting requirements, your paper should include a Title and Reference page, should be double-spaced, and should include a running head and page numbers.

Part 1: Formulating the Philosophical Thesis Statement
Select only 1 of the following focal questions to answer to help formulate your thesis statement:
Businesses can have ethical standards, but businesses are not moral agents. Do you agree or disagree?
Is it true that the “bottom line” of a business is profit and profit alone?
In business, are there other, less tangible goals that are intrinsic toand just as important asmaking money?
In a business environment, why should people be moral as individuals?
Why should a corporation or organization be moral?
Could you apply the first formulation of Kant’s categorical imperative to a business environment?
Part 2: Developing the Essay
Identify your thesis statement (argument claim) within the introduction of your paper.
Conduct research using library resources. Please use the article presented above (Sunday Dialogue: How Corporations Behave) as well as 2 additional sources.
Outline your essay, considering deontological ethics, teleological ethics, moral objectivism, and ethical relativism in your argument.
Provide at least 3 valid reasons to support your argument. Remember to think critically herethere likely are reasons that may not be evident at first.
Also, be sure to include the following in your essay:
Use of explanations of philosophical conceptssuch as utilitarianism, categorical imperatives, process philosophy, moral relativism, moral absolutism, ethical relativism, moral objectivism, deontological ethics, or teleological ethicsto structure your essay and provide evidence to support your claims.
Remember, you can use these concepts to argue for or against a particular statement (e.g., from a deontological perspective, something might be “right,” whereas that same thing may be “wrong” from a utilitarian perspective).
Your argument and reasons (claims) should be defended by philosophical concepts supported by evidence, which is based on your research.
Part 3: Conclusion

Consider morality and ethics from the perspective of Alfred North Whitehead’s process philosophy and Immanuel Kant’s universal categorical imperative. After conducting your research and writing your essay, could you conclude that businesses can have ethical standards, despite the fact that businesses are not moral agents? Explain why or why not. Sum up your argument based on the evidence presented in the paper.

Part 4: Review Checklist Before Submitting Essay
Your essay should be checked for proper use of grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
You may find that you change your mind on the issue as you are writing your paper. That is fine, but be sure to present your ultimate decision at the beginning of the paper, and stick to it consistently throughout. This may require that you go back and change paragraphs to support your changed thesis statement.
Your argument should be clear, concise, and supported with logically valid claims and evidence followed by APA in-text citations.
A Reference page documenting your sources should be included. Please use the article presented above (Sunday Dialogue: How Corporations Behave) as well as 2 additional sources.
Your paper must be 45 pages in length, not counting the Title page and Reference page. In accordance with APA formatting requirements, your paper should include a Title and Reference page, should be double-spaced, and should include a running head and page numbers.

Briefly describe the work of art, using some of the terminology we have learned, but do not do a full visual analysis.

Visit either the website or the actual location of one of the
following museums: the Chrysler Museum of Art, the Barry Art Museum, or the Virginia
Museum of Contemporary Art.

Poke around and look at exhibitions and collection, until you
find a single work of art that interests you and give the artists name,
the title, and date at the beginning of a two-to-four-page paper. Briefly describe
the work of art, using some of the terminology we have learned, but do not do a
full visual analysis. Ask yourself if a reader who is not you could envision
the work without a picture. Then evaluate how the museum (whether on the
actual premises or on the website) contextualizes the work. This means:
how is it presented to the public? What information is given and where
is it placed (again, actually or virtually)what surrounds it? Does it seem to
form a place in a temporal narrative? Does it seem to help make a critical or
social point? Finally, make your own assessment of the works aesthetic
traditions. Compare it to any movement, civilization, or idea we have
encountered so far in class. Do you think this was the artists intention or is
it part of your interpretive freedom as a viewer?

All papers must be MSWord documents written in 12-pt font
with 1 inch margins, and always always always double-spaced.
