  • “Exploring the Timeless Significance of Art and Ideas: A Critic’s Perspective on Humanities”

    Formulate, express, and support individual perspectives on diverse works and issues.
    For this assessment task, you are asked to act as a critic for one of the various subjects under the umbrella of the subject Humanities. Through a series of critiques, you will be demonstrating your background knowledge on these subjects and the themes studied in the Humanities. In general, a critic evaluates a work or piece based on a common language of a subject. For example, certain terminology is used in the film industry for aesthetic, whereas other terminology is used in architecture. Aside from a common language of art, each subject usually includes a history of influence-how a work was influenced by other works and how a work influence aspects of today’s art and culture. Critics use this common body of history and aesthetic to offer critiques, or judgements on the validity of the importance of aesthetic (it’s representation of beauty).
    Competency
    Formulate, express, and support individual perspectives on diverse works and issues.
    Instructions
    You will act as a critic for some of the main subjects covered in the humanities. You will conduct a series of short, evaluative critiques of film, philosophy, literature, music, and myth. You will respond to five different prompts, and each response should include an analysis of the topics using terminology unique to that subject area and should include an evaluation as to why the topic stands the test of time. The five prompts are as follows:
    1: Choose a film and offer an analysis of why it is an important film, and discuss it in terms of film as art. Your response should be more than a summary of the film.
    2: Imagine you had known Plato and Aristotle and you had a conversation about how we fall in love. Provide an overview of how Plato would explain falling in love, and then provide an overview of how Aristotle might explain falling in love.
    3: Compare and contrast the two poems below:
    LOVE’S INCONSISTENCY
    I find no peace, and all my war is done;
    I fear and hope, I burn and freeze likewise
    I fly above the wind, yet cannot rise;
    And nought I have, yet all the world I seize on;
    That looseth, nor locketh, holdeth me in prison, And holds me not, yet can I ’scape no wise;
    Nor lets me live, nor die, at my devise,
    And yet of death it giveth none occasion.
    Without eyes I see, and without tongue I plain;
    I wish to perish, yet I ask for health;
    I love another, and yet I hate myself;
    I feed in sorrow, and laugh in all my pain;
    Lo, thus displeaseth me both death and life,
    And my delight is causer of my grief.
    Petrarch
    After great pain a formal feeling comes—
    The nerves sit ceremonious like tombs;
    The stiff Heart questions—was it He that bore?
    And yesterday—or centuries before?
    The feet mechanical go round
    A wooden way
    Of ground or air or ought
    Regardless grown,
    A quartz contentment like a stone.
    This is the hour of lead
    Remembered if outlived
    As freezing persons recollect
    The snow—
    First chill, then stupor, then
    The letting go
    Emily Dickinson
    4: Compare and contrast these two pieces of music:
    Beethoven’s Violin Romance No. 2
    Scott Joplin’s Maple Leaf Rag
    5: Explain in classical terms why a modern character is a hero. Choose from either Luke Skywalker, Indiana Jones, Bilbo Baggins, Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen, or Ender Wiggins.

  • Factors Affecting Company’s Financial Position in the Next Three Years “Adapting to Change: The Key to Success in a Dynamic Business Environment”

    post 2 replies of at least 150 words each
    Each reply must incorporate at least 2 scholarly citation(s) in APA format. Any sources
    cited must have been published within the last five years. Acceptable sources include
    (professional, scholarly, or trade publications), as well as the textbook and the Bible.
    post #1
    The
    financial position of a company is determined by a variety of factors, some of
    which may be out of the company’s control. In the next three years, an
    organization’s financial position may be impacted by a combination of internal
    and external factors. This discussion will focus on the factors that are
    expected to impact on the company’s financial position in the next three years.
    One of the most
    important factors that will influence the company’s financial position in the
    next three years is the macroeconomic environment. “Macroeconomic factors
    affect companies that are more dependent on the overall health of the economy”
    (Team, 2023). Team (2023) continues to explain that “Industries involving the
    production and distribution of staple goods and services tend to function more
    independently.” Conversely, when the macroeconomic environment is unfavorable,
    businesses tend to struggle financially. Therefore, the macroeconomic
    environment will have a significant impact on the company’s financial position
    in the next three years.
    Another factor that is
    expected to impact on the company’s financial position in the next three years
    is the level of competition in the industry. Recent studies indicate that
    “operating in a highly competitive industry could reduce a firm’s
    profitability, rendering it more difficult to achieve financial targets” (Tang
    & Chen, 2020). Meaning when the level of competition is low, businesses
    tend to perform better financially. Making the level of competition in the
    industry have a significant impact on the company’s financial position.
    Additionally, the company’s ability to access capital will have a significant
    impact on its financial position. “The capital structure of a company plays a
    vital role in determining its financial health and performance” (Andersen &
    Andersen, 2023). Andersen and Andersen (2023) continue to explain that capital
    structure “has a significant impact on various aspects of the business, ranging
    from the cost of capital to risk management and shareholder value.”
    Finally, the company’s ability
    to manage its costs will have a significant impact on the company’s financial
    position. “Cost management is a form of management accounting that helps a
    business reduce the chance of going over budget with more accurate forecasts of
    impending expenditures” (Lutkevich, 2023). Making a company’s ability to manage
    its costs impactful on its financial position. Therefor the company’s financial
    position in the next three years will be determined by a variety of factors,
    including the macroeconomic environment, the level of competition in the
    industry, the company’s ability to access capital, and the company’s ability to
    manage its costs. By understanding how each of these factors will influence the
    company’s financial position, the company can make informed decisions that will
    help it achieve its financial goals.
    While doing research one bible
    verse that came to mind was Deuteronomy 8:18 “But remember the Lord your God,
    for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his
    covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today” (Deuteronomy 8:18
    (NIV), 2024). Meaning If you have a financial need in your life, begin to ask
    God to show you ways that you can produce wealth. God will show you a way that
    you can use things you’re good at to make money. Then be open and willing to
    act on what God is showing you.

    Good Evening Class, 
    The factors expected to impact
    the company’s financial position in the coming years vary and depend
    on various external situations to which any organization is
    exposed. I found this discussion thread very interesting since we learned to
    identify key points that could determine any business’s future
    success or failure. It is necessary to identify the factors that will
    benefit the organization or company to which we belong and avoid those factors
    or methods that, if done or practiced, would affect the company we may
    represent. One of the factors that stand out from the rest is adaptation to
    constant changes “Organizations succeed over time only when
    they adapt to the speed and character of external change. Every
    aspect of an organization — from how it operates and is structured to
    how it is led must match the current yet ever-shifting context in
    which it exists” (Charan, 2023). In a world and a market in which
    changes, improvements and upgrades occur very frequently, it is
    necessary to understand that the success of any organization could be
    tied to how capable the organization is of improving, changing, and
    innovating processes, products, or services that can be offered to
    increasingly demanding consumers and with many more options available to choose
    from. Not only is it vital to keep up to date with changes and opportunities to
    innovate in such a competitive market, but it is also necessary to care for,
    value, and protect the workforce and all members of an organization to be in a
    positive financial position and financial situation in the years to come. The
    workforce can be essential for goal achieving, organizational success, and
    customer satisfaction “When teams include people who are on the
    front lines, the information flow is both faster and more accurate; with this
    increased speed comes greater flexibility to respond to customer and market
    changes” (Charan, 2023). A very famous phrase used in a topic or
    subject called the origin of species states that “it’s not the
    strongest or most intelligent of the species that survives but the
    one that’s most adaptable to change. The idea is just as relevant as
    it ever was. We are a species whose habitat is now ruled by
    technology, and it is changing rapidly” (Gonda, 2018). In
    the Bible, there is the following Bible verse that advises the constant
    transformation of our minds to be able to follow God’s will: “Do not
    conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your
    mind. Then you will be able to test and approve
    what God’s will is his good, pleasing, and perfect
    will” (New International Version, 1978/2011, Romans 12:2).
