JK Galbraith claims that economic ideas have “accommodated” changing  politics. What does he mean? Do you think he is correct? How might economic ideas about the environment have “accommodated” trends in environmental politics? The primary criteria used in evaluating written work will be:  1) Mechanics: Your work must be completely free of grammatical errors, spelling errors, or major factual errors. References can be in any style but the same format must be used consistently and they must be accurate.  2) Writing style: Your papers should be written in a clear and unambiguous style which assists, rather than impedes, communication with the reader.  3) Structure: Your written work should have a clear focus, provided by the research question, and a structure which logically flows from that focus.  4)Precision and accuracy: Precision means saying exactly and specifically what you mean, avoiding ambiguity and vague generalities. Accuracy refers to the absence of major factual errors.

Watch The Video titled Brice Marden: Abstract painting can take you to paradise (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ebExAsHZMg). Then watch Sarah Cain – The Artist’s Studio(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqqUJnDeX_w). Write a short entry (250 words) in response. What did you find interesting about their two different approaches to abstraction? Did you notice the similarities between Brice Marden’s garden and his paintings? When Brice was a young man he worked as a studio assistant for Robert Rauschenberg. How do you think this might have influenced his development as an artist? Notice how Sarah Cain refers to getting “in the zone”. Does this remind you of Jackson Pollock’s statement about “the painting taking on a life of it’s own?” Why not do a bit of research about each artist and write about what you’ve learned? No source is needed.

Discuss the problem of aesthetic autonomy by focusing on one of the above issues: criticism, the ethical content of art, the public role of monuments and murals, or the ‘propaganda’ value of art. How, if at all, can art and aesthetic value play important political or ethical roles. Should it play those roles? What is aesthetic value such that it may or may not have such power?  read this below and use the sources in the prompt to construct an argument that completes the prompt above. The Aesthetic and the Practical  Paul C. Taylor discusses the ‘problem of aesthetic autonomy’: What is the connection, if any, between ethics and politics, on the one hand, and aesthetic value and art (or ‘expressive culture’) on the other?  Here is the problem: Art and aesthetic value either have or lack ethical and political import. If art and aesthetic value do have ethical and political import, then what’s the point of art? Shouldn’t we just engage in direct political and ethical action? Wouldn’t that be a more effective means of change? If art and aesthetic value do not have ethical and political import, then it is irrelevant. Even if it has some value, it pales in comparison to the value of a better ethical and political world.  The two historical figures we studied have different responses to this. Kant argues that beauty and aesthetic judgment are autonomous. Aesthetic judgments are grounded in a disinterested pleasure and beauty gives rise to such pleasures. When we find something beautiful our judgement is perfectly ‘free’—free of our own desires and free of the compulsion of others. Schiller, in contrast, argues that aesthetic value is inseparable from social and political value.  Since our study of Kant and Schiller, we have explored several points of contact between art/aesthetic value and ethics/politics:  • Criticism as Practical Reason: According to Anthony Cross, critical reasons are practical reasons, not theoretical reasons. They give us reasons to act in certain ways.  • The Intrinsic Question: Can ethical content condition aesthetic value? AW Eaton argues that it can and does in Titian’s Rape of Europa, whose ethical disvalue diminishes its aesthetic value.  • Art and Collective Valuing: Monuments and murals (in post-revolution Mexico, or in the Jim Crow South) can function as sites and sources of collective valuing, for better or worse.  • Art as Propaganda: W.E.B. Du Bois and Paul C. Taylor argue that art has a propagandistic function, serving to help individuals and groups construct a sense of self or identity.  thank you, and please, please, please read the prompt !!!!!! I also attached a reading from W.E.B Dubois that you can use as a source if you need it.

ESVS 201 Fire-Related Human Behavior Your town has just experienced a major fire at a social hall where several people were killed. The local newspaper has asked you to write an article that explains how building designers predict what will happen in a fire and why those predictions are sometimes not accurate. In this assignment, prepare a document that addresses the following: ·       Interpret current systems models, modeling programs, their features, and how they are similar and different. ·       Explain how hard and soft systems approaches differ and how these differences make the various types of models more useful or less useful. ·       Identify the logical basis for goal decomposition. Categorize three goal-based system approaches that use the decomposition technique. ·       Summarize any assumptions in the current method for calculating exit capacities in the model codes. ·       Determine if a simple linear model of exit capacities is less valid than the effective width model, and state whether or not researchers discovered any inaccuracies. ·       Identify the source of the effective width model. Describe an important limitation to the accuracy of the effective width model. Document should be four to six pages in length, double spaced. You are required to have an introduction, a statement of purpose (on the first page), a body, and a conclusion. Be sure to credit all sources. This document is required to be in current APA format.

CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT (100 points total): Each student is expected to create an original curriculum for a prevention or promotion workshop. Students are responsible for developing 4 hours of curriculum for a prevention or promotion program related to the research review paper. This is an opportunity to creatively express and further develop the findings in the “Research Review” assignment. The curriculum should include the following: 1. Rationale – State clearly the rationale for either primary prevention or promotion in this area with this population. Identify the key risk factors/vulnerability, as well as programs that have been done previously. How would you conduct an actual needs assessment to justify your approach with this population? The rationale should include general professional perspectives on why this issue is important to address. (2-3 pages) 2. Introduction (1-2 pages) – Please note the qualifications of the therapist to use your curriculum, intended audience/participants, a typical format, and supplies needed (in general and specifically for each session). 3. Curriculum – Each of the 4 hours should be accounted for (the curriculum should be broken down so that each activity is tied to minutes/hours that add up to 4 hours). A detailed account of the information provided for the 4 hours as well as work sheets and/or activity instructions should be provided within this section. There is no set page length. People in the past have done many things to show four hours’ worth of material. Some have done PowerPoint presentations with handouts and even a certificate for completing their curriculum. Others have shown their information in document form. This is a place for you to be creative with your information! 4. Program Evaluation (2 pages)– How will you know if your program is effective? Identify ways in which you will demonstrate the effectiveness of your program. You may develop a survey for this section, although this is not a requirement.
