Museums are institutions created in the public interest. They engage their visitors, foster deeper understanding and promote the enjoyment and sharing of authentic cultural and natural heritage. Museums acquire, preserve, research, interpret and exhibit the tangible and intangible evidence of society and nature.  Museum visits increase students’ cultural capital; in turn, school groups help museums reach non-traditional museum goers. It is important to understand that  your visit to a museum is part of this course.  You will be writing a two page paper analyzing a work of Art chosen from your visit to a Museum of your choice or one of the Virtual Museums listed below.  Guggenheim Link  (Links to an external site.)

Citations: MLA format Minimum of 3 Citations Do not Plagiarize: What is Plagiarism? Plagiarism is the act of using others’ information without giving credit or acknowledging them. There are many examples of plagiarism. Completely copying another individual’s work without providing credit to the original author is a very blatant example of plagiarism. Plagiarism also occurs when another individual’s idea or concept is passed off as your own. Changing or modifying quotes, text, or any work of another individual is also plagiarism. Believe it or not, you can even plagiarize yourself! Re-using a project or paper from another class or time and saying that it is new is plagiarism. One way to prevent plagiarism is to add citations in your project where appropriate. sources: https://www.citationmachine.net/  (Links to an external site.)   5.

Infectious viral diseases (ex. pandemics) during varied time periods can affect populations differently with regards to medical treatments, social behavioral recommendations and cultural concepts. For this project, you are to do comparative research on the present COVID-19 virus (2020) with the 1918 viral pandemic and how they affected/affect the United States populations.        Firstly, examine the etiology of the viruses.        Secondly, importantly examine the complex social, cultural and medical factors affecting treatments and outcomes for both time periods.                    What were (1918 virus) and are (Covid-19 virus) medical interventions and social behavioral interventions during the time periods?                    What was the response time frame to the viruses?                    Were there (1918 virus), are there (Covid-19 virus) certain ethnicities and/or groups more effected? And How?                      Were there more/less unification as to interventions regionally across the United States (explain)?                    In your analyses, are there factors regardless of time period that appear to be consistent and/or different with regards to stigma and fear?
