“Breaking the Mold: A Personal Reflection on A Strange Loop” “Unlocking the Power of Simplicity: A Personal Journey Towards Clear and Concise Writing”
Requirements:
ATTEND IN PERSON a performance of A STRANGE LOOP and write a 4 page personal response OPINION based paper!
Please include the names of the composer/lyricists/writing team/creative team. Please include the themes that are presented in the musical as well as critical response to those themes. Was there anything presented in this musical that you had heard previously in class? If so what- explain. Please feel free to write about your experience.. which can include but not limited to… What was the set like, the lights, the sound scape– how did it effect or distract from the story telling? Did you enjoy the performances? If so, what stood out for you. The 4th page of your paper should include a selfie of you IN THE THEATER/Picture of the playbill program.
*I know it’s a personal response paper that needs to go to this show, but as a non-native speaker all I can do is outline every point that I need help writing into the text, below are my scattered ideas, feel free to add anything on top, thank you*
The plot: Usher, a fat, black, queer play writer writing a musical about a black, queer, fat writer and so forth, meanwhile consistently battling the 6 thoughts within him and the pressures from his family and society
—The idea and structure unlike any usual musicals, deconstructing musical theater and break down certain conflicting contradictions between stereotypical black culture and queer culture, cover topics including race, gender, equality, self-esteem and so much more, in a way that I never expected before
Stage setups: The two rows of giant box-shaped stage setups represent Usher’s brain: very simple but practical & so creative; Usher’s 6 thoughts played by 6 different actors each has their own characteristics
Things that are presented in the musical we discussed in class:
Tyler Perry: Iconic black musical theater writer, but his gospel concept in this show became a representation of the traditional black musical formula which represents the mainstream society’s expectation on Usher, a pain in Usher’s ass
Chitlin’ Circuit: Once a major force in the development of black musical theater but now becoming a meme, which is interesting
Jokes about The Color Purple quote: symbolic and interesting
Scenes that leaves me deep impressions:
Sex scenes (Usher’s encounter with a handsome black stranger, and his bumpy one night stand with the guy in Confederate flag briefs, with the bold sex dance choreography in the background): extremely outta pocket & uncensored expression, yet does not feel sexual to the audience, instead in a unique way it showed the internal fear and disgust that Usher had for himself, stemming from the body shaming and hate he gets from society and other gay men who won’t sleep with him
Usher’s conflict with his Christian family (Parents’ lack understanding of his queer orientation, and expect him to write a traditional Tyler Perry gospel show) Very relatable and deeply resonates with me coming from an East Asian family of origin; the conflicting between pursuing self-worth and “be loyal” to cultural heritage, fulfilling family’s expectations; Also made me realize even more how much Black and Asian culture are alike when it comes to certain things like our values and education
The climax when the box stage set removed to reveal the giant cross and entire bands: Visually astonishing, everyone singing “AIDS is God’s punishment” as a gospel song, it’s a playful (and probably religiously offensive) expression and also rebellious against patriarchy and tradition, until the end Usher’s reconciliation with himself
Conclusion: A Strange Loop serves both as a window and a mirror for me: As someone who grew up in a traditional Asian family, me and Usher came from very different backgrounds but with the same struggle on cultural and self-value issues, my Chinese queer friend from back home went through pretty much the same thing; We need to find balance
PS: Non-native speakers, don’t use language expressions that are too complicated, please! And write more from a first-person subjective point of view, not like a research paper. Thank you so much. -

“Building Sustainable Communities: A Preliminary Model for Community Capacity in the Face of a Perfect Storm” “Correlation Analysis: Investigating the Relationship between X and Y Variables” Introduction: Correlation analysis is a statistical method used to measure the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. It helps to identify whether there is a positive, negative,
Sustainable communities are the product of strategic decisions,
actions and investments guided by an underlying theory that can be tested through
empirical evidence and adjusted (Bridge between Theory and Practice) to more
accurately reflect reality. Models are
often contextual in nature and must either, be modified for each context or
model builders must strive for generalizability. For the third paper, you are part of a policy
team that advises key community leaders and public officials of the Wichita-Sedgwick
County region on the Preliminary Model for
Building Community Capacity in preparation for the Perfect Storm. The

“Corporate Decision Making: A Case Study Analysis of MF Global’s Ethical Dilemma and Lessons Learned” Title: “Ethical Considerations in ICE: A Case Study Analysis”
Assignment Prompt:
Review the following case studies involving companies’ decision making (hyperlinked to source information).
Choose ONE of these case studies* as the subject of your presentation.
M F Global (2013) https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/6626-13
Hooker Chemical and Plastics Corporation and its Successors — Love Canal Disaster (1953)
https://www.gilderlehrman.org/sites/default/files/inline-pdfs/LoveCanal_Timeline.pdf
*Start with the research source provided. You must conduct more research about the company, its decision, the law, ethics, and issues in the case study for your presentation. Initial material is provided to you to get you started. Focus on the specific pivotal decision the company made.
When you have selected your case study, research and cover the points listed in the instructions below in a well-developed PowerPoint presentation. These instructions provide guidance about how to organize the slides and the minimum number of slides for the required content. Key points are to be presented on slides with explanation and analysis expanded in your Speaker’s Notes narrative.
INSTRUCTIONS: (Also see Grading Rubric.)
This 12-slide outline is the minimum; you might wish to use additional slides for some segments of the presentation for a complete presentation.
The outline identifies how to organize the content areas of your presentation. You will see that the Grading Rubric follows this outline.
Each slide should display key bullet points supplemented with Speaker’s Notes in the speaker’s note space below the slide or as an audio or video narrative.
Slide 1 – Title Slide (title of topic/presentation, your name, course, prof., date) (I will fill this out, leave blank slide)
Slide 2 – Agenda slide – Simple outline of the presentation so your audience knows the topic scope and where you are going.
Slide 3 – at least one slide – (An introduction of the company) Introduce and briefly describe the company, the nature of its business and corporate business environment. Do not spend a lot of time on the history of the company as a business, but do describe necessary history sufficiently to create meaningful context. For some of these case studies, history will have significance.
Slides 4 & 5 – at least 2 slides: explain facts of the case study; identify the decisional dilemma and succinctly state the 2 choices the company had at the critical point in time; the choice the company made and why; the choice the company should and could have made instead (and why). Tip: There is always a choice. Refer to definition of dilemma:
A problem in the decision-making process between two possible but undesirable options from an ethical perspective.
Slides 6 & 7 – at least 2 slides: Identify and explain the statutes and regulations implicated and violated – or potentially violated – by the company’s conduct. Be specific, and explain:
• the purpose of the law; and
• how the company’s conduct violated or might have violated the law, and the consequences of violation
Slides 8 & 9 – at least 2 slides: Explain the ethical question/failure of the company’s decision, apart from violation of law. Present an analysis and explanation of an ethical course of conduct and reasoning that the company leadership could have followed to reach the better decision you identified above, to both follow the law and meet the higher goals of the company. Include in your explanation the definition and application of at least one specific ethical framework we have studied that would have led to the better decision. (Examples: ethics of care, deontology, utilitarianism, virtue ethics, etc.) It is NOT sufficient to simply say “exercise CSR” or “do the right thing.”) Analytically apply a specific framework.
Slide 10 – at least 1 slide: Recommend a take-away lesson for the business management of ANY company (not just this company in this situation) that is a lesson to be learned from this case study. What is a recommended business practice? Do not overly generalize. Be specific.
Slide 11 – at least 1 slide: Conclusion – your wrap-up—3 bullet points summation of case study relevancy; law/ethics; recommendation. As with other slides, expand narrative in Speaker’s Notes.
Slide 12 – at least 1 slide: References slide – References are listed on the Slide, not only in the Speaker’s Notes
Minimum five (5) credible sources that support your material in the PPT. These should also be cited in the PPT Speaker’s Notes to support your narrative, in APA short form. If you are giving an audio presentation, you can include a source by saying something like, “An article by ___________ in ____________ explains how the ethic of care supports successful management decisions.” Also include where necessary on your slides.
AVOID THESE SOURCES: Dictionaries, encyclopedias — including Investopedia in general. Wikis, and the like, and Internet generic quick-answer websites are not acceptable to populate your Reference list. AI-generated material as source and narrative is not acceptable. Use your text, required readings, peer-reviewed articles, statutory and case law, and other credible sources for your research authority.
If you were giving this presentation to your CEO, s/he might well say, “You know, I can read a dictionary. I can chat with a robot myself. I need to hear what the experts and the law are saying about this. And I want to hear your own original analysis. It’s what I’m paying you for.” If you were the CEO what would be your expectation?
APA 7th Edition formatting required for References citations, but a “hanging indent” is not required and citations can be single spaced. Refer to the help sources provided.

“Rosé de Provence: A Comprehensive Analysis of Differentiation Factors, Market Trends, and Sustainability Strategies for Côtes de Provence AOC Wines” “Unveiling the Marketing Landscape for Luxury Rosé Brands: Implications for Moët Hennessy’s Future Strategies”
This is our general project description:
We are doing from the point of view of LVMH (Minuty, Chateau d’Esclans, and Galoupet), as if we are working for them. Role play of consultants.
I personally need to focus anything related to marketing specifics, other team members are doing pricing, history, terroir, and etc. So if for example doing the introduction, you only talk about marketing.
Mission
To conduct a comprehensive analysis of the competition between rosé wines from Côtes de Provence AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée) and rosé wines from other regions around the world. Students will explore the differentiation factors that make Côtes de Provence unique and assess its potential to become the “Champagne of Rosé Wines”, meaning the most desired rosé wine in the world, emphasizing the region’s potential for producing high-quality and sophisticated rosé wines. Additionally, the project will address the risks associated with newcomers in the market and the impacts of climate change, while emphasizing the importance of sustainability in differentiation.
Deliverables
Market analysis of Rosé wines and competitor benchmarking
Market Analysis: • Compare and contrast Côtes de Provence AOC rosé wines with rosé wines from other regions around the world, such as California, Australia, Spain, and Italy.• Evaluate global trends, consumer preferences, and pricing strategies.
Differentiation Factors: • Examine the unique characteristics of Côtes de Provence AOC appellation, including terroir, grape varieties, winemaking techniques, and regional history. • Assess the role of AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée) and of the CIVP (Conseil Interprofessionnel des Vins de Provence) in maintaining quality standards.
Becoming the leader of the rosé category: • Investigate the significance of heritage, tradition, exclusivity and scarcity from the AOC.
Risks with existing competition and newcomers from other regions in the world: • Analyze the potential challenges posed by other regions to the rosé wine market: established players and newcomers (ex: Kylie Minogue wines in Australia)
Climate Change Impact: • Investigate the effects of climate change on rosé wine production in Côtes de Provence AOC and other regions.
Sustainability and Positioning: • Examine the role of sustainability and eco-friendly practices in differentiation. • Assess the demand for organic, biodynamic, and sustainable rosé wines among consumers. • Explore and present the sustainability initiatives taken by wineries in Côtes de Provence and their impact on differentiation and consumer perception.
Recommendations
Case Studies: Research and present case studies of successful newcomers in the rosé wine market and how established players have responded.
Marketing Plan: Develop a comprehensive marketing plan for Côtes de Provence AOC to promote it as the most desired rosé in the world.
Explore the marketing and branding strategies that Côtes de Provence AOC can use to position itself as the leading category of rosé wines.
Add three specific marketing plans for Esclans, Minuty and Galoupet to maintain their competitive advantage and elevate the desirability of Rosé de Provence as a category.
Sustainability and Climate Change Mitigation Strategies: Propose strategies and practices for mitigating the impact of climate change on rosé wine production, adaptive measures and innovations for climate-resilient winemaking
