Compare and contrast Citizen Kane to Casablanca

/in /by

Instead of doing a film review for Citizen Kane,  watch the film, look up articles about Citizen Kane, and compare and contrast Citizen Kane to Casablanca.
Below are the guidelines for the paper.
• 5-6 pages
• Double-spaced
• 12 Pt using Times New Roman, Calibri, or Courier New
• 3-5 Sources Peer reviewed sources
• Cite sources in the paper using parenthetical citations
• Reference page in MLA or APA format
Example article: The Guardian Online article written by Peter Bradshaw Citizen Kane and the meaning of Rosebud https://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/apr/25/citizen-kane-rosebud (Links to an external site.)
Tip: Spend part of the paper (1-2 pages) talking about Citizen Kane based on the articles you read. Spend part of the paper (1-2 pages) talking about the film you chose to compare to Citizen Kane. Spend the remainder of the paper comparing and contrasting Citizen Kane to the other film using terminology from our book. (Example: plot, theme, shots, color, camera angles, lighting, mise-en-scene, directing, etc.)

Below are Discussion Questions you could also incorporate:
Citizen Kane is filmed as a series of long takes, composed in-depth to eliminate the necessity for narrative cutting within major dramatic scenes. The film uses very little shot/counter-shot. Why is this so important to the way we experience the film visually?
Why is this important to the content of the film?

Do the multiple perspectives bring us closer to or further away from the truth?

Do the individual narratives distinctively differ? Are they all Welles/Toland’s visions or do they show individual narrators’ perspectives?

Do the perspectives of the individual narrators always make sense? That is, would Susan know the content of her own narrative? Would Jed have access to the information in his narrative?

Do the narratives work with each other or contradict each other?

Do the more subjective narratives support or refute the newsreel?

Does the answer to Rosebud tell us anything? everything? nothing?

Why don’t we get to see the reporters’ faces?

How is the film prophetic? Does it shed any light on the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal, for instance?

Can you see the influence of Citizen Kane on the films we’ve seen this semester, particularly Sunset Blvd.?

What other films do you know that have been influenced by Citizen Kane?

How are windows used in the film?

How would you describe the acting in the film?

What does the film have to say about the relationship between the sexes?

How does the film help us to think about today’s media? Does it shed light on Fox News? The internet? Etc.

Orson Welles made this film, his first and greatest, at age 25. Why is it important that this film was directed, written, and acted in by a young man?

Dependent on computers and technology

/in /by

Society is becoming increasingly dependent on computers and technology for functioning in everyday life. Every aspect of our lives has been affected by the infiltration of computers and technology. Computers are used to conduct business from home, meet new friends and find old friends, maintain communications with distant family, and to met out some stress relief after a long day at the office. As more and more people rely on computers to succeed each day, it begs the question – are people becoming too dependent on computers and technology? Your paper should look at either the historical changes that shook up society or future changes being developed now that will shake up society?

Innovation’s progression of the Google pay app 

/in /by

Retrace innovation’s progression of the Google pay app from original customer need (or original problem), to design, to development, to its success or failure (or projected future) in the marketplace.

Demonstrate how an innovation moves from idea to product by backwards-engineering these steps. Drawing on concepts from Carlson and Wilmot, your report must reconstruct a possible value proposition and that led to this object, product, or service. Because you are engineers-in-training, your report must also describe in detail the actual science behind the innovative object, product, or service.

In your Case Study Report, you must help your readers, a mixed technical and non-technical audience, understand and appreciate the significance of the product, or service you discuss.

Guidelines
1. Front matter:

Title page and abstract: The title page should have a descriptive title, along with the following information:

a. Submitted to

b. Submitted by

c. Date of submission

d. Abstract of your proposal

Your abstract should be ≤ 250 words. It is not part of the proposal itself, but summarizes the main points of the proposal. Because its intention is to generate reader interest, any information you include here still needs to be included in the proposal itself.

This abstract should include a brief description of the innovative product or service, a brief explanation of its significance, a description of the report’s contents, and a statement alluding to your final argument or position on the object. The abstract is essentially a thumbnail sketch of your whole proposal, so it must be able to stand on its own.

2. Introduction and Background/Case Study

You can use a 1-column or 2-column format throughout, but be consistent. Two-column formats are often more challenging to work with, especially if the document includes lots of headers, sections, and/or images. If you choose a 2-column format, leave yourself extra time to get it right.

Identify the Purpose and Content of this Report: Consider this the part of your report that frontloads the key information the audience needs to understand what they are reading and why.

Define and Describe the Innovative Product or Service Description: The section should offer both a description and an extended definition of the product or service (See PSTC Ch. 14). What is it? How does it work? What does it do?

Explain the Background and History of the Product or Service: This section should explain the origin and background of the product or service, by retelling the history of how it came to be. Using the research you have found, this section will retrace the innovative product or service’s journey from original need all the way to market.

This section should answer the following questions: What person or company conceived of this innovation? What was the customer need or problem this innovation sought to solve? How was this innovation designed, researched, developed, funded, tested, brought to market? What obstacles or setbacks did the designers and developers face? How did they overcome those challenges? What missteps or mistakes did they make? What was novel or unique about their process of design, development, and/or marketing?

Your case study seeks to explain this innovation through the lens of Carlson and Wilmot’s model of innovation. This will require you to create what you understand to be the product or service’s value proposition (to the best of your ability). Be sure to also explain the scientific research or the technological components behind this innovation. You must explain and demonstrate your knowledge of the science involved.

Create/Use One Figure, Chart, or Graphic: Either in Background/Case Study section or in the Concluding Section, your report must include at least one figure, chart, or graphic that is relevant to your project. Figures and images should not overwhelm the page. Any visual elements should be clearly labeled and referred to in the text. If a visual element is not your own creation, be sure to cite its source just like any other piece of outside information.

3. Conclusion (and Significance)

Explain the significance of the innovation: This section asks you to help the readers understand the significance of this object, product, or service. If the innovation inevitably failed, help your reader understand the reasons for this failure, lessons to be learned, or the continued significance of this scientific or technical study area.

Conclude the Report: This brief section will summarize the content of the report.

4. Back matter:

References page: Your report must include a list of references in IEEE. References should appear on

Maintenance of good order within criminal justice agencies

/in /by

Examine the role supervisors play in the maintenance of good order within criminal justice agencies. Read each of the scenarios below and evaluates the role the supervisor played in the maintenance of good order within the organization.

Scenarios: Bad Behavior and the Difficult Employee

Scenario 1: Bad Behavior?

Sergeant Stevens, the sergeant on the evening shift, reported to you (the shift lieutenant) that after roll call he heard two male officers telling sexually explicit jokes in the hallway. As the sergeant exited the roll call room, he noticed one of the female dispatchers standing within a few feet of the two officers. The sergeant chose to ignore the immediate situation and just made a report to you.

Scenario 2: The Difficult Employee

Officer Smith has become very difficult to deal with. During roll call, he is sarcastic about any new policy changes, orders, or directives given to him or the group. He is also one of the most productive officers you have, and other officers respect his leadership abilities. Recently, his sergeant brought disciplinary charges against Officer Smith. This resulted in a suspension and Officer Smith has now become far less productive.

Address the following issues in your paper:

Evaluate the sergeants’ responses to the scenarios.
How did the sergeants respond in both scenarios?
How do the sergeants’ actions ensure the maintenance of good order? If they do not maintain good order, what specifically about the sergeants’ actions disrupts that order?
In each scenario, how could the sergeants have done better?
What should the sergeants do in each case to ensure good order?
Write a 2-page response for each scenario. For assistance with this assignment refer to Chapter 12 of your text.

Interview Summary Report

/in /by

Interview Summary Report: Write a summary report (1,250-1,500 words) about the information gleaned from the interview process, drawing connections and connecting to scholarly leadership research.
Conclude the paper with a discussion of the participants’ descriptions of the meaning of the incidents described during the interview process.
The Summary Report should also include the raw data collected as in the original paper, in at least three appendices, and in question and answer format.
Use three to five scholarly resources for evidentiary support.

I think it is important that whatever writer wrote my last assignment, work on this one as well. Because this assignment is apparently related to and deals with information gleaned from the previous assignment.

Pillars of procedural justice and law enforcement reform

/in /by

Examine the pillars of procedural justice and law enforcement reform and critique the six pillars of United States policing and how they are demonstrated within the concept of procedural justice.

Is the concept of “social justice” represented in the concept of procedural justice? If yes, why? If no, why not?
Briefly list what should be included in a national code of ethics for police.

Identify the changes that are recommended within the U.S. policing to modernize law enforcement. Address how the pillars of justice serve to promote trust and ensure legitimacy.

Theme of literary, virtual, and physical “journey”

/in /by

In your final writing assignment for this term, you will compose a thoroughly-researched 2500-3000-word argument essay that integrates 7-10 sources, at least 2 of which should be from peer-reviewed, scholarly sources, and demonstrates deep thinking and writing about a specific chosen topic.
As you have explored the theme of literary, virtual, and physical “journey” in this class, you have encountered a number of lessons you have learned in your metaphorical travels. But like every trip, you must return home, and with the new perspective(s) you have collected from your journeys, you may find that your literal, personal, professional, or figurative home would benefit from the insights you have to offer. In this same vein, your topic for this essay should make an argument about a cultural or social issue in your hometown (Nashville or where you’re from) or somewhere else you consider home (a major, minor, or career choice). The paper should have a debatable thesis supported by clear evidence gained both from your “journey” in this class and from additional research that you do. You may draw on your earlier writing to help inform and inspire this essay, but you may not re-use more than 1 ½ pages of previous material. The goal here should be to expand and deepen your thought, not reproduce it.
Topics for this essay are wide-ranging, and may include a more in-depth and well-researched version of one of the two shorter projects. For instance, you might investigate a social issue in more depth or explore the implications of an international issue within your own hometown. You may also explore or analyze the history or culture of a specific site you would like to visit one day in contrast with implications this might have for your “home.”
While the topic choice for this assignment is fairly open-ended, you will turn in an argumentative essay topic summary that will help you conduct some early research and identify any potential challenges of the topic. If you’re having trouble coming up with topics, please email me—I’m happy to help you parse through some options. In addition, the Argumentative Essay Topic Summary will give me a chance to weigh in on your topic and help sharpen it.
Requirements
• Word count requirement: 2500-3000 words
• Source requirement: 7-10 sources (two of which must be peer-reviewed scholarly sources)
Grading/What you should focus on
Your thesis, research, paper organization, paragraph organization, level of detail, and style are key for this and all writing assignments for this class. “Thesis” and “research” contain new or revised grading elements for this assignment, so pay special attention to them.
Thesis
Because this is an argumentative paper, it should have a debatable thesis that is the last sentence or two of the introduction (the rest of the introduction should introduce and explain your topic). The thesis should fully, specifically, and accurately summarize the argument and main points of the paper. After reading the thesis, your reader should be able to outline the paper accurately. Do not leave any “surprise ideas” in the paper for the reader to discover later.
Research
Sources must be reliable. For this assignment, the university also requires at least 2 peer-reviewed, scholarly sources. Peer-reviewed sources come from a university press or a journal associated with a university. Be aware that library databases and Google Scholar archive both peer-reviewed AND non-peer-reviewed resources, so always check to see who the publisher is. Peer-reviewed sources go through a strict review process before they are published, and always contain the most accurate and thorough information.
Paper Organization (including introducing quotations)
Give some thought to what organization would most help a reader through your argument. Your paper will develop differently depending on your topic, so I strongly encourage you to send me an outline or draft ahead of time.
Paragraph Organization
All paragraphs for critical writing have a fairly standard format:
Topic sentence: first sentence of the paragraph. Should be debatable/require evidence for support.Evidence: In the form of quotations, personal anecdotes, statistics, etc. If a quotation, it MUST be introduced. NEVER begin a sentence with a quotation.Discussion: should explain the relevance of the essay for the argument. Do not merely re-state the evidence; tell the reader why it matters. DO NOT use the last sentence to “transition” to the next paragraph. This is confusing for readers, who are conditioned to expect a new idea at the beginning of a paragraph, not at the end.
