+Essay #1: Making the Familiar StrangeThroughout this book we will be exploring how anthropology’s holistic, cross-cultural, and comparative approach can help us think more deeply about other people and live more consciously in our global world. As humans, we take for granted many things about our lives and how the world works, whether it is our notions of race or the cheap cost of a chocolate or a can of Coke. But anthropologists often describe how doing fieldwork can make the familiar strange and the strange familiar.Preparation: Review Guest’s ExampleFor this essay, you will be asked to conduct an anthropological analysis of a familiar object. Your book provides a great example on page 30: take a can of Coke, for instance. Can you make this most familiar cultural object unfamiliar? What would an anthropologist want to know about that can of Coke? What can you learn about yourself, your culture, or globalization in general from that can of Coke? How does the social life of a can of Coke intersect with the lives of people who produce it? To conduct an anthropological analysis – that is, focusing on the people behind the product – you could research answers to the following questions:1. What’s in it? Where in the world did the ingredients come from?2. What can you learn about the workers who produced it? What is their life like?3. What are some specific examples of places where Coke has had an impact on the local communities where it is produced? How has it affected these communities?4. You may want to explore one specific case study by researching Plachimada, India, and Coke. What is the relationship of the people in Plachimada to a can of Coke? Do they drink it? Do they work in the factory that makes it? How much do they earn? How much has the Coca-Cola factory changed their lives? Has it affected people in the community differently based on age, gender, or class? What actions did the people of Plachimada take to protest problems caused by the factory? Were they successful?5. What is the impact of the can of Coke on the community where it is consumed? What are the health impacts? The environmental impacts? Where does the waste end up — landfills, the ocean, recycled, repurposed?6. What do you pay for a twelve-ounce can? What are the real social costs of producing a can of Coke – in terms of water, power systems, sewage treatment, pollution, garbage disposal, and roads for transportation? Who pays for them?7. What is the environmental impact of making a can of Coke, considering what it takes to grow and process ingredients such as high-fructose corn syrup and the quantity of water required to produce the finished product?

In all activities, public administrators must make sure they are acting with the best interests of the public in mind. They must ensure they are considering the problem and any alternatives from diverse views, providing a solution that will meet the needs of the global community, as well as the diverse subgroups within that community. In your initial post, consider the problem and the proposed solutions within the following contexts:·        How does vacant and abandoned buildings affect diverse groups within the community (Chicago)?·        How might the proposed solution affect diverse groups within the community?·        How might a public administrator engaged in the policy analysis make sure the proposed alternatives will meet the needs of diverse groups within the community in an ethical manner?

Do not do outside research or use external sources for this assignmentAristotle and the ancient Greek virtue ethicists saw a connection between virtue and happiness.  According to Aristotle, at least, it was impossible for one to attain true happiness–eudaemonia, or a “good life”–without first cultivating moral virtue.  Another way of putting this is to say that evil people cannot be happy in this way.  Interestingly enough, contemporary psychological studies of happiness seem to show that he’s right.  People who do “good” are more likely to live satisfying lives than those who don’t.  But Aristotle is making a stronger claim.  He’s saying that it is a contradiction–a logical impossibility–to have a satisfying life without virtue.  That’s different from saying it’s more difficult to do (which is what psychology tells us).  What do you think?  Is it possible to have a satisfying life–to attain eudaemonia–without being a good (virtuous) person?  Can evil people be fully happy? Explain your reasoning.Each discussion post should be at least 250Do not do outside research or use external sources for this assignment

Just as it did previously, the dial determines public health restrictions by county based on disease incidence rate, average positivity, and number of hospitalizations but the new dial incorporates revised metrics for determining a county’s color-coded status and is now based on weekly, instead of bi-weekly, reported data.Eagle County remains in Level Orange under the new dial. Colorado has experienced a decrease in disease incidence rate over the past four weeks; however, many resort counties with a high volume of visitation remain at higher disease rates. Public health officials continue to reinforce following the Five Commitments of Containment to help continue to reduce the spread of the virus in Eagle County and qualify for the less restrictive Level Yellow.”We have a lot of hope with the vaccination roll out in Eagle County, but we are asking for everyone’s help to reduce the current disease spread,” said Heath Harmon, Director of Eagle County Public Health and Environment. “The high rates in Eagle County and other resort communities are still impacting local businesses and schools. We still have several more months of wearing masks, keeping physical distance and limiting large gatherings.These precautions will support our economy and schools by lowering disease spread, while allowing our health system to focus on vaccinations.”

Answer the questions below. Use the sources provided and also use outside sources as well.1. Based on virtue ethics, why is moral education crucial to a person’s ethical development? Illustrate the necessity of moral education by discussing the pursuit of pleasure and the virtue of temperance (from Birsch, 2014, p. 174, #8).2. Use your understanding of Just War Theory and Bellaby’s (2014) list of potential harms and the Just Intelligence Principles to discuss what you would need to know in order to resolve the ‘Think About It’ question for the week. Don’t think through this from a particular ethical approach, only discuss the potential harms and just intelligence principles that would need to be considered.3. Consider and discuss how harm should be assessed (to the target, yourself, Country Y, the CIA, and the United States).This is the Think About It pertaining to number 2 and 3 above: You’re a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV/Drone) operator for the CIA. Currently you are flying a UAV within Country X, which is within airspace that has been authorized by the CIA. A HUMINT report comes in that indicates a high value target has been spotted crossing into Country Y, a country you know to be off limits for collecting on.You can fly close enough to see the target from within your designated airspace, but the rules have been very clear that you must not collect imagery from Country Y. Your boss is telling you to verify the target before HUMINT move in to extract the target.What do you do?Sources to use:Birsch, D. (2014).

Your article should be written in smoothly flowing paragraphs, just as you would find in a newspaper article.  Do not use bullets or point form.  The criteria below are elements that I will be looking for in your article. Do not use these headings literally in your article.  The information or stylistic points should come through on their own—they should not be announced to the reader.   Weave all of this information and criteria seamlessly into your article, just as the professionals do!   I have included headings and sections in this case to show you what you need in order to create an effective commercial piece.PURPOSE:  Make it clear why have you written this piece–is there an obvious lesson, truth, or theme that you want to communicate?  Beyond recommending a destination or site, you want to give the reader a special reason for going there.  Read Polly Bannister’s article on P.E.I., entitled “A Sweet and Gentle Land” (available in Week 1 Notes), for a sense of purpose.  Bannister aims to show the reader that P.E.I. is a gentle, welcoming place in more ways than one.  All ideas in your article should relate to that main purpose. Do not simply relate any personal meaning the place had for you—make the article appeal to the reader as well.STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT: Is there a clear beginning to the article, in which you describe the setting and introduce the theme/purpose?  Is this followed by a middle section which develops that main theme or purpose with evidence, examples, anecdotes, and details?  Is there a concluding paragraph that connects the reader back to the beginning and ties up loose ends?Does the article develop logically, so that the reader can follow the specific changes which occur, or does it make sudden leaps which cause the reader to lose the direction?  Is the progression logical, or is the order of events confusing?SETTING: Have you created a sense of place through colourful details?  Can the reader taste/smell/feel what it is like to be there?  Does she or he experience the place as the local people do?  Can the reader imagine the location around the people clearly?  Some critics insist that a commercial or destination piece should “leave the reader feeling they have just enjoyed a mini-vacation without ever leaving home” (Cropp, Braidwood, and Boyce 11).DEPICTION OF PEOPLE, AND DIALOGUE: Do the people described seem real with depth and emotion, or are they recognisable stereotypes?  As Thomas Swick, the travel editor of the South Florida Sun Sentinel and an author of a travel memoir asks, “What can you know—and feel—about a place when you don’t meet the people who live in it?”  Remember that these are not characters (fictional creations) but real people, so watch the wording.Do the people involved engage in realistic dialogue (that is, have you written believable conversations)?  Can the reader imagine people talking this way?  And does your voice as the writer sound natural rather than pretentious or preachy? SUPPORTING EVIDENCE: Have you provided evidence for your points of view or statements?  Does the evidence lead the reader to the same conclusion that you reached?  In other words, can the reader understand why you have offered that opinion?APPEAL: Have you used a hook to draw the reader into the article, so that they are part of the place or journey?  Is the information presented in an interesting way, so that the reader wants to keep reading?  For example, have you created an element of “suspense, humor, consternation, satisfaction, wonder” (O’Neil 7) in the reader?  Would they feel intrigued and entertained?  Is this an evocative as well as informative piece?  Just because you’re writing non-fiction, don’t forget the imaginative…ORIGINALITY: Have you avoided clichés (overused expressions like “tropical paradise” or “winter wonderland“)?  Is the wording original and vivid?  Does the article find a fresh approach to a place, rather than talking about the same old thing (e.g., yet another article about high tea in London)?CREDIBILITY AND ACCURACY:  Is the information accurate in terms of verifiable dates/statistics/names?  Did you do your homework?  Can the reader trust your opinion?  What authority do you have to write this article (e.g., frequent visitor, cultural background, attentive LHUM 1212 student ;)POINT OF VIEW AND BIAS: If your article is in the first person (that is, told from your perspective), do you avoid talking too much about yourself?  Remember that commercial articles are first and foremost about place.  Too much personal detail will skew the focus.  Also, be sure to make the point of view consistent throughout the piece—don’t suddenly shift points of view, so that it’s unclear from whose perspective the story is told.Is the article fair?  Are you biased toward the subject?  Does this bias prevent you from presenting a fair view of the place?  Do you admit the bias? VISUALS: Have you included appealing, relevant photographs to entice your reader?  Are they accompanied by an interesting, informative caption?  If you borrow the image(s) from an outside source, be sure to document them properly in APA format.  Photographs can be subject to copyright

Attached below is sheet music for Debussy’s Reverie. Annotate the first two pages of the score as requested in the 1st bullet point and answer the questions in the 2nd bullet point:• On the score, please mark the harmonic rhythm (below the music) and the phrase rhythm (above the music) from the third measure through the 2nd-to-last measure of page 2. Use brackets.• Compare the harmonic rhythm and the phrase rhythm. Remember: the “phrase markings” do not necessarily line up with the phrases. Some suggestions: do they line up with each other? Is one faster than the other? Does that change? Does any of this determine the effect the music has, and if so, then how?

Navigate to the discussion topic, and for your initial post, identify the two lenses that you plan to focus on for your presentation. Why did you choose them over the other two lenses you used to explore your topic? How has gaining an understanding of these two lenses changed your thinking or broadened your understanding of your chosen topic?In your responses to two of your peers’ posts, discuss their choice of lenses and compare them to the two that you chose—how was their reasoning similar to or different from yours?Be sure to credit any sources you use to support your answer, including articles posted in the course.
