Please choose one of the following prompts and, considering what you have learned from your text and/or other relevant course materials, respond to it in at least one full paragraph of 200-400 words. Online students must additionally respond to the submissions of at least two other students in no less than 100 words each. Now that you’ve read about different types of societies in history, do you wish you lived in a different type of society or in a different time period? Why or why not? Almost every type of society that has ever existed has been marked by some form(s) of social inequality. Do you think social inequality can be avoided by or removed from societies? If so, how? If not, why not? Do you think the society you live in is a good one or a bad one? What are its strengths? its weaknesses?

Q1: Assigned Problem 1:  Perform a categorical analysis on fees for this sample of mutual funds. Describe your findings Assigned Problem 2:  Create a frequency distribution and a histogram of the NAVs.  Use eight classes of data.  Edit the graph to make it professional looking.  Describe your findings Assigned Problem 3:  Compute the descriptive statistics for the 1-year return of the mutual funds.   Describe your findings Q2Assigned Problem 1:  Create a pivot table (also known as crosstabulation or a contingency table) of Race and Low Birth Weight on Excel so you can answer the following: What is the probability of randomly choosing a Black woman? What is the probability of randomly choosing a White woman AND a Low birth weight? What is the probability of randomly choosing a Black woman OR a Low birth weight? Given that the mother you selected is a White, what is the probability she had Low birth weight? Given that the mother had low birth weight, what is the probability she is Black? Assigned Problem 2:  Let us assume that the Low_Birth_Weight. is a random sample from the Concordia Hospital in 2018.  We are given that the mean birth weight is approximately 6.5 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.6 pounds.  Note: The national standard is that a birth weight below 5.5 pounds is low.  Using Microsoft Excel compute the following: What is the probability of low birth weight (< 5.5 pounds) occurring at Concordia? What is the probability of a birth weight being above the national average of 7.5 pounds? What is the probability of a birth weight being between 5 and 6 pounds? The bottom 10% of births by weight are below what weight?Q3 Assigned Problem 1:  First compute the mean total weight and standard deviation of the garbage disposed of each week by the sample.  Then, compute the 95% confidence interval of the mean total garbage disposed of in a week on Concordia St.  Describe your findings. Assigned Problem 2:  First compute the proportion of homes in the sample that recycle.  Then, compute the 95% confidence interval of the proportion of homes on Concordia St. that recycle.    Describe your findings. Assigned Problem 3:  You wish to learn the average number of pounds of garbage disposed of in a week by the people on Concordia St. within two pounds.  Using the standard deviation from problem 1 as an estimate, how large of a sample should you obtain? Assigned Problem 4:  You wish to learn the proportion of homes on Concordia St. that recycle within 10% of the true population proportion and be 99% confident of the results.  How large of a sample should you obtain?

Using the definition of culture presented in chapter 1, how would you describe your culture (rewriting the definition from the book will not count towards your 125 minimum words). Reflect on your scores on the self-assessment instruments in chapter one (PRICA: Personal report of Intercultural Communication; GENE: Generalized Ethnocentrism Scale and ICCS: Intercultural Communication Competence Scale). Do you see any patterns? Where your scores high or low? What might be some causes that contributed to you having the scores you did? Did your scores surprise you or did they affirm what you know about yourself? This chapter says that one way to become aware of cultural differences is to become mindful of your own behaviours. Analyze this saying and how your own communicative behaviour is driven by culture.

The relationship between security governance and security program management is the crux of this course. All along, we have worked to examine how governance principles can be applied to information security management to ensure that security programs are aligned with an organization’s long-term strategic direction.Take this opportunity to consider how well this topic is addressed within current research. Consider both the breadth of research in this area, as well as the depth in which this topic is covered. What gaps do you see, and what future research opportunities could be examined? (4 para)

For this discussion, focus on one artist from the three posted (Rafa Esparza, Olafur Eliasson, Maya Lin). Summarize the main concerns of their work (based on these materials) and set them in relation to other artists we have looked in this class. Where do you see overlaps of interest? How are the artists engaging their viewers? How are they thinking about space and place? What connections can you draw between these artists (the artist you are focusing on) and other work we have looked at? As always, I am looking for you to be thoughtful in your reflection, to be clear and specific in the qualities you are discussing — whether those qualities relate to ideas or to specific materials and aesthetic choices around process.  Rafa Esparza • Start with a video describing his work inspired by adobe and the Los Angeles River: https://whitney.org/media/513 • Then read this exhibition brochure from his show last year at MASS MoCA, “Staring at the Sun”: https://4bqtf234d34a2gxuu749ctvy-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/RafaEsparza_English.pdf • Then watch his artist talk, presented by the Hammer Museum on November 19th — note, this talk is VERY LONG; you could watch half of it (though it’s really good!):  Play Video Olafur Eliasson • Start with the Tate Museum’s overview of his project The Weather. Be sure to click on all the tabs on the left (“Understanding the Project” and “The Artist”). https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/exhibition/unilever-series/unilever-series-olafur-eliasson-weather-project-0 • Then learn about Eliasson’s project Ice Watch: https://www.dezeen.com/2018/12/12/ice-watch-olafur-eliasson-installation/ Maya Lin  Start with an overview of Maya Lin’s series of Wave Fieldworks: https://publicdelivery.org/maya-lin-wave-field/ • Read this interview to get a better sense of her thinking about the relationship of art to environment to activism: https://www.interviewmagazine.com/art/artists-at-work-maya-lin (I could not get the images to load on my browser, but the words are very good).
