To demonstrate your understanding of world civilizations, your final essay will focus on the analysis of the rise and fall of empires/kingdoms throughout the time period in which we studied. Remember, this is NOT a summary of the events or the empire/kingdom, it is an analysis of the similarities and differences. Also, you will be making one last final connection to today’s society. For this assignment, pick an empire/kingdom from each group below and develop an essay addressing each of the following components: 1. Compare and contrast the development/creation of the empires/kingdoms. 2. Compare and contrast the decline/fall of the empires/kingdoms. 3. Explain which of the empires/kingdoms you choose had the greatest influence on our society today. Make sure to provide examples of how this civilization can be seen in our society today.

Imagine that you are the professor for a new spring course in Asian/American Theatre and Performance Studies at UC-Riverside. What would be the main theme around which you would design the course? Asian/American women playwrights? Yellowface on stage and screen? Asians in operas, operettas, and musicals? What do you hope that students would take away from this course? How would you accomplish these objectives? How would you organize the series of assigned readings and viewings? Will your class include any field trips to see performances or conduct archival research? Will you invite guest scholars or artists? For your final project, you will create your own Asian/American theatre syllabus. The syllabus must include the following:   • a course description o 100-150 words o summarize the exigency, content, and guiding questions for the course • learning goals o use active verbs to list 4-6 objectives that students will achieve by the end of taking this course • week-by-week reading/viewing assignments and activities for 10 weeks o assign at least 10 plays and/or films o assign at least 5 scholarly articles or book chapters ? you may copy only 1/3 of the plays and 1/3 of the scholarly writings that are in Prof. Galella’s syllabus because you are encouraged to seek out additional texts o include, if you want, specific field trips and guest speakers o organize the assignments so that they build upon one another, they are in conversation with one another, and they are grouped into sub-themes • a syllabus rationale  o 400-500 words o justify your chosen course theme o address how your students will meet your learning goals  o elaborate on your selected readings/viewings (not every single one of them but a representative sample) ? demonstrate knowledge of these texts ? rationalize why you are assigning them o explain how you organized the course   You will be assessed based on your demonstration of research and thought, pedagogical skill, cogent organization, written clarity, and following of assignment guidelines.

Bloom Film Festival (Imaginary film festival)  “Bloom” is an imaginary film festival targeted towards the youth. Inspired by urgent calls for racial justice in 2020, your team is dedicating the film festival to themes that speak of diversity and inclusion.  You are working with the Bloom-team to create a grant proposal application, and you’re task is to discuss the merit of the project:  Selected films to be shown:  Dope (2015) – Rick Famuyiwa  The Darkest Minds (2018) – Jennifer Yuh Nelson The Sun Is Also A Star (2019) – Ry Russo-Young Everything, Everything (2017) – Stella Meghie The Hate You Give (2018) – George Tillman Jr.  Your task is to discuss the merit of the project- Minimum 500 words  Explain how your proposed festival is designed to expand the public’s knowledge of and appreciation for diversity and inclusion in Hollywood.  Why is it valuable to shine a greater spotlight on these films/filmmakers/performers? (Do not talk about each director/performers individually, general answers only).  What are the problems in Hollywood today and/or historically that a festival such as this one helps to raise awareness of?  Support your answer with at least two types of sources:  Statistics such as box office earnings or theatrical release windows, as published on BoxOfficeMojo Quantitative and/or qualitative research findings regarding trends in Hollywood employment or on-screen representation (for example from reports such as UCLA’s “Hollywood Diversity Report” or various documentaries) Industry insider perspectives or historical context as reported in sources such as Maryann Erigha’s Hollywood Jim Crow Note: Plagiarism is not acceptable.

I need a scholarly article discussing the native populations in/around the Amur river basin and today’s Sino-Russian Border in the East. 1st Reference to consult is “Beyond the Steppe Frontier: A history of the Sino-Russian Border” by Soren Urbansky.  How were the populations integrated into the national identities and societies we see today.  How did the Russian cossacks interact with these populations during Russian expansion?  How did the Chinese/Qing interact with these populations historically before the arrival of the Russians?  How did the Russians see these populations following establishing borders with the Qing? Feel free to organize it how you see fit. Ultimately I’m interested in a paper discussing  1- The living situation of these groups, and their cultural ethnic identities. 2- How the Qing treated them prior to the arrival of the Russians 2- How Russian Imperialism sought to integrate, employ, or displace them into the empire during the expansion period. 3- How Sino-Russian wars resulting in the treaty of Nerchinksk and Peking altered the border and affected the populations therein.  4- What is the demographic makeup of The Primorsky Krai and Khabarovsk Krai today? What happened to those populations?

No sources needed, may consult sites to gather information but put into your own words. The building structure name is: Dome of the Rock it is located in Jerusalem, Israel. Attached is the an image of the building, which is what this paper will be about. The following is an outline of the paper: PART 1: Write a one-page biography of both artists that built the structure. The biography should stress more than just dates and facts: focus on what’s interesting about their career, why the artist is important, their originality, what they’re famous for, etc.  PART 2: Visual Analysis   Analyze the visual forms emphasized in your work, including the use of line and contour, texture, color, scale and other visual design elements, as suggested by your answers to the following questions.  1)  What is visually most distinctive/special about the work? Which elements are most emphasized: lines/outlines; space/depth; light and shadow; textures; color? 2)  Is line important? outlines? inner lines? detail? What kinds of lines? 3)  What colors are emphasized? What is the effect of the colors chosen? How are colors combined — to harmonize or to create strong contrasts? Do the kinds of colors used draw your attention to a certain focus in the picture? (If the work is black and white, where are the darkest darks [values] used and where are the lighter shades [values]?) 4)   What is the approximate size (scale) of the piece? Is the work monumental, or is it small-scaled & intimate? How would it be different if it were smaller, or larger? Why do you think the artist choose that size for this work? What is the effect of the scale chosen? 5)  Is texture important – either represented texture (in painting) or actual surface textures (in painting or sculpture)? If yes, how are textures shown? Why are they important? What do they add to the image? For sculpture, are actual textures emphasized? Analyze surfaces. 6)  What kind of space is used/shown? Shallow space, medium space, or deep space? Why do you think the artist chose this kind of space? 7)  How are lighting and shadows used? Are shadows prominent, dominant? Or is lighting emphasized more than shadow? Or are both subdued, and why? 8)  Is there a focal point in the work? If so, how does the artist lead your eye to that point of emphasis? If there’s no one focus, there multiple points of focus? Why would there not be a single focal point?                         9)  Is there a story? If so, what is it? How is the story told visually?  10)  What is the emotional expression of the work? How does it feel? Its mood? The emotions of individual figures? What does the work “mean” to you? PART 3: Your Response Why did you choose this work? What about it appealed to you? Do you like it better now that you’ve learned about the artist/time period and you’ve systematically analyzed the work? How did your research and analysis inform your view of the work?

TERMS THAT MUST BE INCORPORATED: wind turbines, agricultural robots coral bleaching The Journey to Sustainability Imagine a future (probably a long time from now) in which human beings have achieved environmental sustainability on a global scale. That means that we as a species have figured out how to maintain a lifestyle that can go on indefinitely. Humans will exist in harmony with their environment, not needing more resources than can naturally be replenished. What would such a world be like? How might we get there from here? In this final assignment, you will play the part of science-fiction writer, imagining and describing what a sustainable Earth, inhabited by humans, might look like in the distant future. You will need to provide examples throughout to support your descriptions. You should include all the terms that you have researched during Weeks 1 through 4 of this class, underlining each term as you include it. Be sure to expand on your terms and include other concepts that you learned in the course. Provide as detailed a picture as possible of how that future world might function on a day-to-day basis. In your paper, use grammar and spell-checking programs to insure clarity. Proofread carefully prior to submitting your work. Finally, you will submit the document to Waypoint. Your paper will consist of seven paragraphs using the format below to address the elements with the assumption that environmental sustainability has been achieved: Paragraph 1: Describe how the human relationship to nature will be different from what it is at present. Examine how humans will cope differently with the ways that natural phenomena like hurricanes affect lives. Paragraph 2: Describe what Earth’s biodiversity and ecosystems will look like in a sustainable future. Explain what humans have done differently to enable biodiversity and ecosystems to function sustainably. Paragraph 3: Examine how agricultural production will be different in a sustainable future. Paragraph 4: Differentiate between how humans will manage water resources (fresh water and ocean) in the sustainable future compared to how it is done now. Paragraph 5 Examine how humans will meet their energy needs in the future in a way that will enable maintenance of a sustainable, habitable atmosphere and climate. Indicate the changes that humans have made that are enabling them to maintain a healthy atmosphere and climate for all. Paragraph 6: Describe how waste management will be different in a sustainable future. Indicate the changes have been made to how humans think about and treat what is currently called “waste.” Paragraph 7: Summarize some of the major social, economic, political, and ecological choices and tradeoffs that will need to be overcome for this sustainable future to arrive. What are some of the major issues and challenges humans will have to face in order to achieve sustainability on a global scale?
