For the weekly and final writing assignments, you will need to pick one of the regions (and continue with this region throughout the course) outlined in the text to pursue further study. These include: Europe, Russia, the Middle East & North Africa, South and East Asia, Oceania, Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and the United States and Canada. NOTE: you cannot pick a region that you are from, for example, if you are from the United States, you must pick another region.

The papers are designed to provide you a chance to do more in-depth research and develop a greater understanding of a specific region based on the readings and class discussions. By the end of the class session, your shorter papers will be combined into a larger, and more developed paper on your specific region.

So what do I need to do for these papers?

Get a piece of paper, or a note pad or even a Post-it ® pad.  If you use a larger piece of paper, fold it in to quarters, or fourths.  That way you can use the four parts (eight if you use the back) to separate and organize your thoughts.

Now imagine yourself in your region, and imagine you are at an open space where there are many people whom you can observe, talk too, and interact with as well.

Now, consider these questions to formulate your outline and your fifth paper (Environment and Society):

1. How has the influence of the inhabitants’ value on the physical environment affected the people of the region, especially later, as in 100 or 200 years later, or as a post-colonial region?  What did they do that changed the physical characteristics of the region and what was the impact of these changes?
2. Could the perceived value that caused changes have been done differently?  In your opinion, were the changes done without forethought for the future (or could they have even perceived the outcomes)?
3. How what the inhabitants valued, regarding the region’s physical geography, affect its political future and institutions?
4. Make a final statement including your opinion and conclusions.

hi i want three citiions and three resources, the information sould based on the powerpoint that in the attachmen

This is an assignment for English American Literature II about drama. I need you to watch plays and write a paper them using modernism and postmodernism. Also answering 2 questions in separately

Here is the full info about the paper

“The Final Lesson covers American Drama. We will look at two seminal plays about the American dream, examining those plays through the lenses of modernism and postmodernism. Look for these plays on YouTube. You can watch the plays scene by scene (it’s hard to find full versions all in one take on YouTube) and you will understand them much better if you watch as you read. The famous version of Glen Garry Glenross includes a scene that is not in the book, but it’s pretty terrific and worth watching. It stars Alec Baldwin and many other famous people. The version of Death of a Salesman with Jason Robarbs is my favorite but the one with Dustin Hoffman is also terrific. The paper will also be written during this lesson. No late papers will be accepted.”

The questions are (need shorts ansers only)

– Which character do you have the most sympathy with in Arthur Miller’s American tragedy Death of a Salesman?

– David Mamet had read and knew Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman. In many ways, Glengarry Glen Ross is a postmodern response to Miller’s modern play.

Instructions:

The final paper will involve answering the two questions below. Be sure to included quotes from the plays, and the source discussed below. Do not use sources from outside the course. Cite your sources (even those you paraphrase) and create a Works Cited for each answer using MLA formatting. Use Son of citation machine or a site like it to help you if you need it. You will have to use Word to create the paper. If you upload your essay using any other program, I might not be able to open your paper.

Organize your answers with a short introduction and body paragraphs. Create a thesis for each paper that will come at the end of the introduction. Create topic sentences for each body paragraph.

Each answer should be about 700 words long. Provide a word count at the end of the answers from you computer. You can go longer but if you go shorter, you won’t be able to fully answer the questions. Feel free to email each other questions as you work and of course, you should email me questions as well!

1. Look at the way Miller defines a modern tragic hero. Tragic heroes in Miller’s construct are modern not post modern. Using the café scene from Death of a Salesman and discuss how Willy fits into Miller’s definition of modern tragic hero. Use quotes from the essay and the play to organize your response. (write at least 700 paragraphed words)

2. In Glengarry Glen Ross Mamet looks at the horrors of capitalism during the postmodern period. He also looks at the world of men. Discuss he utilizes at least two of the elements of postmodernism listed in Owl Purdue paragraphs to create a postmodern commentary on the world of sales. Quote from both the essay and the play. (write at least 700 words

How has the music industry been affected by the internet and digital downloading?
No one would call in question the fact that the World-Wide Web has had dramatic effects on the development of the music industry over the last few decades. As a matter of fact, things keep on changing at a quick pace. Some of the record companies and artists adjust to these changes very quickly and almost “free from pain”, but some of them are still struggling to remain on their feet. Still and all, “from early issues like illegal downloading and music sharing sites (like the now-defunct Napster) to current disputes over music streaming services and how much the artists/labels should be paid in royalties, the Internet still seems to be raising more questions than it is answering” (“How The Internet Has Changed Music”, n.d.). Nevertheless, it is not as bad as it may look. In fact, the Internet has not only made music more easy of access, it appears to be “an incredible tool that enables independent musicians to find a global audience without the help and backing of a major label” (“How The Internet Has Changed Music”, n.d.). Since the music industry continues to be modified by the new Internet technologies as well as digital downloading, I thought it would be interesting to investigate the market for sales of a music product and the influence of such technologies made upon the global music industry. I argue that the Internet along with downloading of data, and computer file sharing has altered the global music industry in two ways: positive as well as negative ones, but it does not signify the fall of the music industry.
It is a well-known fact that the music industry has its own hard and fast rules, which one must follow in order to achieve much success in the sphere of music industry. Nevertheless, my investigation shows that even such powerful and independent branch of industry is compelled to keep up to date and adjust to the new tendencies and ideas. Indeed, nowadays the music industry goes through shaky times. It is due to the fact that the digital revolution that has started at the close of the past century has turned the present state of things on its head. It is true that this equivocation of today’s situation makes sound-recording studios as well as record labels feel worried about their future. This is despite the fact that today people have more power than they have had in the 1990, for instance. They are able to express themselves more freely and without particular effort.
Speaking about the purpose of my paper, it was that to find out whether the introduction of advanced technologies into the music industry mean that it is the end of it. In fact, I have found a plenty of interesting and relevant information on this subject matter including statistics that show that the majority of music fans get the music by means of unpaid downloads, various opinions of young performers, who are trying to break into the music industry with the help of the Internet, and sociologists and music market researchers, who hold to the opinion that the implantation of advanced technologies by no means implies the end of the industry; it just means that some alternative ways of gaining money through digital downloading and file sharing will be discovered. More than that, I learned a lot about the way the industry functioned before the “digital overturn” and how it evolved into what it is today. In addition, I figured out the introduction of Napster, which provided subscribers with free music, was the so-called starting point of making music digitalized. In general, the common opinion is that the music industry observes “the inevitable march of all music toward [being] free’ (Pikas B., Pikas A., Lymburner, 2011). I think I have found such a great amount information due to that digital downloading and file sharing get strained attention of musicians as well as record companies’ owners, and music fans.
It was also curious to research various points of view of professional musicians, who have made their careers before the onrush of technology and those, who has become famous due to spreading of their creative work through the Internet. For instance, asked how the state of affairs in terms of the music industry has modified since the times when the musician has become a professional drummer, Paul Bostaph of the band Slayer said: “When I started recording and touring, there was no Internet. Over the years, music videos became popular, you had MTV, MTV changed, grunge came and went, rap has evolved, [and] heavy metal has been here the whole time. Also, the [advent] of the Internet” (“Slayer’s Paul Bostaph: How The Internet Has Changed The Music Industry”, 2015). Then he added the following: “That’s changed the music industry completely, because people are able to appropriate, download or get music for free – music from their favorite bands, which affects the income of everything. It’s changed the dynamic and the economics of the music industry and how it’s approached” (“Slayer’s Paul Bostaph: How The Internet Has Changed The Music Industry”, 2015). He stresses that this dynamic is very interesting but he does not regard it as a positive change. However, in my previous research I have found out that musicians-newcomers regard the Internet as the greatest tool that musicians have ever had and they are rather excited about it because they have managed how they can make a good thing of it. Indeed, they consider the introduction of technologies into the music industry to be an advantage due to the fact that it makes them being capable of managing themselves and promoting their creative work independently, without signing a record deal with labels that may to do the creative process a bad turn. Thus, it appears that the musicians of the old school and the young players have quite opposite attitudes towards the advanced technologies in the music industry.
In order to further my knowledge concerning the subject discussed I have studied additional sources and have found out that popular music has been the first branch of music industry, which “has been quick to adopt the Internet in pursuit of economic value, but in so doing has exposed itself to illegal file-sharing on an enormous scale, which has brought it into conflict with the very fans whose support it needs” (Choi, Burns, 2013). More than that, according to Hwanho Choi and Bernard Burns, it was so due to that it is the most omnipresent and widespread branch of the global music industry (2013).
Michael Endelman and Raymond Fiore claim that the influence of digitalized music is clearly delineated by the Hot 100 chart of Billboard, which is based on a combination of opinions of the radio audience as well as overall single sales, which is considered to be “the arbiter of mass-market popularity” (2005). They argue that though the last few years the industry has realized the power of music downloaders, who actually define the level of popularity of this or that musician or band. Moreover, it is a very unstable and unpredictable process; performers hit the top positions and lose it in a flash. Billboard’s representative Geoff Mayfield confirms that it has been much more challenging and difficult before the era of digital downloads (Endelman, Fiore, 2005).
What is more interesting is that they claim that there are well-defined advantages of music downloading for the record labels. To be more precise, it provides them with marketing aid, namely, the so-called virtual distribution, which helps to neglect costly manufacturing and shipping processes. Thus, the head of V2 Records corroborates that now “it’s incredibly easy. It’s a conversation and then just uploading the song” (Endelman, Fiore, 2005).
Speaking about the strong desire to survive, the music industry tries to establish certain rules that would help to protect the sound-recording companies from bankruptcy. They do not want to accept the sceptic opinion concerning that the introduction of the Internet defines the end of the industry. That is why, they once introduces the idea of the DRM, which is interpreted as the digital rights management. In actual fact, it is considered to be a copyright protection system, which “locks tracks purchased from legal download sites until a valid password is provided” (“Digital Downloading: Unlocked Download Tracks The Key To Success”, 2007). In addition, it restricts songs in such a way that customers are only allowed to play audio recordings available on the Internet on a restricted number of devices (for instance, MP3 players or laptops), which are “authorized” by their owners (“Digital Downloading: Unlocked Download Tracks The Key To Success”, 2007). Reportedly, the technology under consideration has not proven to be successful. Hence, “EMI’s announcement that it is to remove digital rights management software from premium digital downloads on iTunes should come as welcome news to retailers” (“Digital Downloading: Unlocked Download Tracks The Key To Success”, 2007). They added that, “digital rights management has done little to tackle the issue of piracy and, if anything, is acting as a bar on market growth” (“Digital Downloading: Unlocked Download Tracks The Key To Success”, 2007).
From this it follows that the digitalization of creative work of musicians has already made as well as continue having a great impact on the global music industry. Nevertheless, it is of particular importance to note that the Internet influences it in two different ways. Thus, while a rather great mount of people (especially those representatives of the music industry, who are record labels’ owners or musicians, who have made the career before the beginning of the “digital era”) keep hailing the World-Wide Web for making music more accessible, that is, easier and cheaper to get (or steal it by means of free downloading), the negative side of it is that the music business is fighting with this new technology, which does not allow to generate enough revenue for the record labels and musicians, who are signed to them. So, the majority of people, who are part of music making process “are paid in royalties, and anytime music changes hands without money being involved, those royalties can’t be paid – which is why so much has been done in recent years to try and reduce music piracy” (“How The Internet Has Changed Music”, n.d.). Of course, one should speak about that some progress has been actually achieved in order to keep back this unpleasant trend by introducing easy of access and cheap music downloads through such popular outlets as iTunes, or Amazon. In fact, it has helped because of that music consumers are now able to buy and download particular tracks they like, rather than purchase the artist’s whole album because of one song. However, the ad-based streaming services like Pandora or Spotify still do exist and are in demand. More than that, their relevance is still disputed by those, who make a living by making music and selling it “because the current pay structures are still far less than if a consumer buys the music outright” (“How The Internet Has Changed Music”, n.d.). Unfortunately for the labels, these particular issues are still far from being tackled, which is why many artists are forced to give as much performances on a tour as possible in order to fill up the loss of their income. However, the young musicians may derive benefit from the present state of things as such streaming services as YouTube can actually help to get into the music industry and obtain the record deal. More than that, it allows not to resort to the help of expensive producers and managers, and feel free while being in the process of making music.
Hence, despite the negative impact of piracy of digital property that does not allow to get enough money for musicians and record labels, the introduction of advanced technology into the music industry does not mean that today it is living the rest of its days. It just means that the sound-recording companies should try to find some alternatives to make up a deficiency caused by the negative impact of the era of digitalized music. In fact, the principle aim is to provide consumers with quality and competitively priced alternatives. In conclusion, one should stress that it has been important to study the issue in question because it is one of today’s hot topics that suggest a lot of discussion among those people, who are involved in the music making process along with music consumers.

First, I didn’t approve you topic on China and Religious Discrimination in the Workplace – because there is simply not enough information available on religious discrimination in the workplace. I indicated below that you would need to engage in a search to find what little material exists. Most of the material relates specifically to ethnically oriented discrimination – not specifically religious discrimination.

___________________________________________

The lack of material associated with religious discrimination in employment is evidenced in your last paragraph.

What is the source for the information that offers a reasoning for increased discrimination in employment?
And, is there evidence of specific religion based discrimination?
If you found a resource other than the one that is linked below – which identifies a variety of religious based employment discrimination – I’d like to see it.

Here is a resource from the labor movement in China. It specifically highlights 1 case of religious discrimination.

1. You don’t identify the religion of the dominate majority – Han Chinese – Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism (some Christian.)

2. Nowhere in your writing assignment do you discuss the Employment Promotion Law. (2008)

You focus on the Chinese Constitution… According to the China Labor Bulletin, a non profit organization that promotes employment equity in China….

“The Chinese Constitution and several statutes stressed equality of employment but provided little of use in substantively combating discrimination.”
http://www.clb.org.hk/en/view-resource-centre-content/110167#ethnic

That’s why the Employment Promotion Law was needed.

Finally, I’m surprised by the fact that you do not even mention the extent to which the Chinese government is blatantly engaged in religious discrimination in communities. Please see the the most recent (published in 2015) US Department of State, Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) International Religious Freedom Report.

Goal: assessment of the institutional quality observed in the chosen country based on the Economic Freedom of the World (EFW) index of the Fraser Institute.
A country followed by the Economic Freedom of the World Index (EFW) must be chosen by each group of 3 to 4 students. It is desirable that the country chosen by a group is unique. Information about a country’s level of economic freedom can be obtained from the website www.freetheworld.com Read carefully the home page and also click on the link “latest report”. To answer some of the questions below, read the “executive report” and in Chapter 2 you will find data for the chosen country. Keep in mind that the 2015 Economic Freedom of the World Report contains information on countries institutions and policies corresponding to the year 2013.
Issues that you should address:
a)      What is the definition of economic freedom?
According to economicfreedom.org, economic freedom is a fundamental characteristic of certain nations that leads to greater opportunity and improved quality of life. Economic freedom incorporates how people and firms to choose to produce, sell, and use their resources while respecting others’ rights to do the same without the government limiting and telling what people can and cannot do. In practicality, economic freedom is the difference between why some nations thrive while others struggle.
The classic definition of economic freedom is:
Individuals have economic freedom when property they acquire without the use of force, fraud, or theft is protected from physical invasions by others and they are free to use, exchange, or give their property as long as their actions do not violate the identical rights of others. An index of economic freedom should measure the extent to which rightly acquired property is protected and individuals are engaged in voluntary transactions.
James Gwartney and Robert Lawson et al.
Economic Freedom of the World: 1996 Annual Report
China’s current economic freedom score is 52.7. This makes them the 139th free-est country in the world according to the 2015 index. They are 0.2 higher than last year. This change has come from modest improvement in freed
China’s economic freedom score is 52.7, making its economy the 139th freest in the 2015 Index. Its overall score is 0.2 point higher than last year, with modest improvements in freedom from corruption. However, business freedom and labor freedom were largely offset by declines in investment freedom and the control of government spending. China is ranked 30th out of 42 countries in the Asia–Pacific region, and its overall score is lower than the global and regional averages.
Over the past five years, economic freedom in China has improved by less than 1.0 point, continuing its patchy and uneven progress since 1995. The one bright spot has been an 8.1-point improvement in labor freedom since 2011. A restrictive residency permitting system remains in place, and gains in labor freedom have been largely offset by losses in other factors, including a 5.5-point decline in the control of government spending.
A more comprehensive set of economic reforms is desperately needed, especially a loosening of the government’s stranglehold on investment flows. The Communist Party’s control of all levels of government continues to undermine confidence in the rule of law and interfere with the development of an independent judiciary. Institutionalized cronyism is prevalent.
b) What are the cornerstones of economic freedom?
The economic freedom is related to the market economy. In the market economy and the economic freedom the most basic factors are demand and supply. The production of goods and services are decided by the Law of Supply and the Law of Demand. Also, the price of goods and services that sellers set is based on the amount of money and consumers willing and able to pay.

According to http://useconomy.about.com/od/US-Economy-Theory/a/Market-Economy.htm. The market economy and economic freedom can be defined by six characteristics.
1. Private Property — Most goods and services are privately-owned. This allows the owners to make legally binding contracts to buy, sell, lease or rent their property. In other words, their property gives them the right to profit from ownership.
2. Freedom of Choice — Owners, businesses, consumers and workers are free to produce, sell and purchase goods and services in a free market. Their only constraint is the price they are willing to buy or sell, and the amount that they are able to buy or sell.
3. Motive of Self-interest — The market is driven by everyone trying to sell their goods or services to the highest bidder, while at the same time paying the least for the goods and services they need.
4. Competition — The forces of competitive pressure keeps prices moderate, and ensure that goods and services are provided most efficiently.  Businesses will be bankrupted if they lose in the competition with other rivals in the market freedom.
5. System of Markets and Prices — A market economy is completely dependent on an efficient market in which to sell goods and services. In an efficient market, all buyers and sellers have equal access, and the same information upon which to base their decisions.
6. Limited Government — The role of government is simply to ensure that the markets are open and working. Unlike the planned economy, the government cannot be involved into the market.

In the last century, when Mao was still the chairman of China, Chinese government took control of the entire national economy. However, when Deng became the chairman, he did a lot of revolutions on the Chinese economy. Several characteristics appeared at that time, like competition and limited government. The interference of the government was not as much as before. Those revolutions are very effective to China even at the moment- Chinese economic system has moved from planned economy to mix economy. That is a great leap on Chinese economic freedom.
c) Name the areas of the EFW index.
d) Evolution of the index starting with the earliest year recorded and followed by the index score on years 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2013. Ideally convey this information by means of vertical rectangle graphs placing at the top of the rectangle the index score. Correlate positively the height of the bar with the score level.
e) Establish factors that account for the change. That is, what determined the improvement or worsening of the index naming the areas and components responsible for the change? It is important to keep in mind that your answer must be based EXCLUSIVELY on information contained in the EFW index taken from data available on the country chosen which is found in chapter 2 of the report. No mention of politicians, entrepreneurs or other actors should be made.
f) Why analyzing the index of economic freedom is a relevant issue?
This report is due in class on Monday, December 7, 2015. The report should be typed and I should receive a printed version.

Consider Gloria Anzaldua’s exploration of language in “How to Tame a Wild Tongue.” Similarly, Amy Tan, author of “Mother Tongue,” coined the word “Englishes” to describe the different forms of language she uses throughout her day. Why does Anzaldua use different kinds of language in her life? Or more importantly, why do you? Consider the “literacies” we explored in Essay One. Now consider the different Englishes, literacies, or mixed languages you use based on your audience or social situation. Why do Anzaldua and Tan do it? Why do you do it? The answer to this question should ultimately be your thesis statement for Essay Two.

This is a categorization essay, where you must arrange the different languages or language forms that you use in different aspects of your life. Each supporting paragraph should explore a different form of communication. You should develop each supporting paragraph by providing quoted examples of the different kinds of language that you might use depending on the social situation, personal experiences, descriptions, and discussion. You should also borrow quotes from Anzaldua’s essay as necessary. You should also provide an engaging introductory paragraph which effectively references Anzuldua’s text as a connection between the world and your essay. Your concluding paragraph should reflect on your thesis and main idea.
