Hi, this week I will lead the discussion in the class and I will be asking questions about chapter 1& 2 in this book Kaufman, Gayle. 2013. Superdads: how Fathers Balance Work and Family in the 21st Century. New York University Press. Please write 5 questions about chapter 1 & 2 so I can ask my classmates. Please try to find the book online and if you can’t find it for free, I can pay for it. thanks
You are required to write one (1) performance treatment paper. This paper is to be based on the viewing of the Department of Theatre’s production of 1984.
The performance treatment assignment is meant to apply things we’ve been learning in class directly to a theatrical production created by the Department of Theatre.
QUESTIONS YOU MUST ADDRESS: We do expect formality and proper academic writing style in your answers. Any supporting outside research should be cited properly using the appropriate MLA style guide. For such a style guide you might visit the library, an internet resource, or the Writing Center. It should be about 5-6 pages in length.
1. Would you describe the production you saw as Presentational or Representational? (See text pgs. 15-16 for definitions.) Give specific examples to support your conclusions.
2. Describe the central conflict of the production you saw. (See text pg. 34 for definitions.) Give specific examples to support your conclusions.
3. Examining the actor’s work- would you describe the acting in the production you saw as “OUTSIDE” (or external/presentational) or “INSIDE” (or internal/representational)? (See text beginning on pg. 40 for definitions.) Give specific examples to support your conclusions. It is possible there existed a mix of the two- be sure to support your claims with specific examples.
4. Examining the director’s work- what specific elements of staging within the production stick out in your mind and what made them memorable? (See text pg. 174 for staging examples.) Be sure to include specific supporting examples from the production.
5. Describe, in specific detail, the final moments of the play in terms of actual events as well as how those events related to the central conflict. Ch. 4 The Playwright may be a useful resource. Was the central conflict resolved? If so- how? If not- why do you think it was not resolved? Give specific examples to support your conclusions.
6. Please offer your thoughts as to why the theatre producers or organization would choose to produce the production you saw. Support your conclusions with specific examples.
7. What do you feel the production you saw communicated to the audience? Support your conclusions with specific examples.
8. What appealed to you about the production and why? This evaluation can be via the play itself, the production, or technical aspects. You may find it useful to include some examples from the designers’ and technicians’ work as covered in chapter 5. (You don’t have to “like” the whole production, but we do want you to focus on at least one something that appealed to you. Provide a specific example and explain why.)
HOW WILL I BE GRADED? This assignment is worth 180 points. 20 points will be assigned based on evaluation of format (spelling, grammar, punctuation, and the like). Each question above will be worth 20 points each. You will be evaluated by assessment of the following: Did you completely answer the questions provided? How successfully did you apply concepts from class to practices in production through your brief answers? Is it clear you attended the production?
Note: Should it be determined that you did not attend the performance you will forfeit the grade for this assignment. By submitting a performance treatment for a production which you did not attend you will also be subject to the course plagiarism policy- please see the syllabus for details.
Intro (5 pts) (about 1 page)
What is Q.E. & why is it used by central banks? (15 pts) (between 3-4 pages)
History of Q.E. and previous specific uses throughout history? (10 pts) (between 3-4 pages)(What other countries have used examples of QE in history)
Use of Q.E. in the U.S. Discuss the reasons for the Fed’s decision to implement QE I and II. Was this a good decision or bad? What has been the impact on the U.S. economy since the first and second versions of QE were implemented? (15 pts)
(between 3-4 pages and your research should provide the next steps and reasons the Fed should take your prescribed direction)
QE III’s impact on the U.S. economy. Specifically, as the “brain trust” of Obama, Yellen and Lew continued implementation of QEIII could this process drive the U.S. dollar out of the world’s reserve currency status? How did other major Central Banks responded to the U.S. action of QE implementation. What happens to U.S. enterprise’s borrowing competitiveness and the riskiness of their cash flows if the U.S. dollar is no longer the world’s reserve currency? Will the current discussion of lifting off historical interest rate lows slow or prevent the process of the U.S. dollar falling out of the reserve status? (20)
Important to understand what a Reserve Currency is and how the U.S. dollar obtained this status.
What commodities point to the U.S. dollar as the Reserve Currency?
What happens to the value of the dollar if the Reserve status is lost and how does this change the cost structure for U.S. businesses?
Impacts of higher costs on the $19T debt as lifting off of historical lows begins and the cost of the deficit climbs in the form of higher interest costs to the U.S. tax-paying base.
Tax increases on the 52% of the taxpayers who actually pay taxes in the U.S. will drive behaviors that politicians don’t consider – U.S. dollars held to outside the U.S. to mitigate the U.S. 35% corporate tax rate – How would a rational U.S. corporate tax policy allow these funds to repatriate and boost investment in the U.S.?
How did the Obama “brain trust” engineer the first down grade of the U.S. credit rating (the first time in U.S. history) Why did Obama allow this to happen? Is a weakened U.S. currency and economy better for U.S. citizens or an intentional policy before he leaves office?
The Fed Banking system is operating with reserves that are at historical highs. Why haven’t the reserve levels had a positive impact on lending in the U.S. economy?
Summary: Based on your research what do you predict will happen to the U.S. and global economies now that Obama, Yellen and Lew have engineered this financial strategy? What is the impact on the U.S. Federal Budget relative to the cost of the Federal debt after normalized interest rates begin? (10 pts)
(between 2-3 pages and based on your research what is the mostly likely outcome or probability of outcomes for the U.S. economy)
Research, Sources, References and CITATIONS (15 pts)
– Minimum of 15 academic sources
Formatting, Organization and Presentation (10 pts)
– 12 pt. font, Arial, 1-inch margins on every side. Footnotes or Endnotes are acceptable – your decision.
Key Tips:
– This paper will take time to locate reliable sources and help you develop your understanding of QE and it’s application. If you need to talk call my cell or I can meet you on a Saturday at Starbucks on West End near PF Chang/Fleming’s
– Most people will do fine writing the paper and lose pts on the last two objectives. Please be aware, presentation and references are critical. (I want to see the research)
– It would be hard to write an “A” paper in less than 12 pages. While the range is (12-20) being on the shorter side without proper research and support for your arguments could negatively impact your final grade.
– Make sure your research is academic and use it throughout the paper!!! (Wall Street Journal = good source; Wikipedia = D or F
Your final paper will be an extended analysis of an object or issue that fits into one of the topics covered in class as related to Jewish identity (literature, music, dance, film, food, language, memory, national identity, etc.). While you may wish to probe more deeply into one of the items we have discussed in class, such as Kosher By Design, or JDub Records, we encourage you to try something new that you find particularly appealing, intriguing, or controversial.
For Nov. 6, please submit a proposal (two pages plus bibliography) for the paper you intend to write. The purpose of this proposal is to demonstrate that you have a clear plan for your paper, that you have started finding materials for your paper, and that you can complete it successfully in the time remaining.
Please prepare your proposal as follows in two parts:
I. PROPOSAL (two paragraphs):
Paragraph 1: identify your topic and the specific object/issue you will be analyzing (such as a piece of music, dance, art, a magazine, a literary work, a controversy, a television show, etc.).
Paragraph 2: discuss:
why you have chosen your object/issue
how a discussion of this object/issue will be appropriate as the final paper for this course
how you will go about researching this issue
BIBLIOGRAPHY:
Identify a working bibliography of five (or more) significant sources. Of these sources, two
must come from course readings, and three (or more) must come from outside sources.
Remember sources can include books, essays, film, music, videos, personal interviews, and
websites. (Note that you may use and cite Wikipedia for your final paper, but it will not count as a significant source for this proposal: instead, use Wikipedia to find significant sources).
