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.

Read the Berwick article and reflect on the concepts and practices you have learned in NR506 on healthcare systems, politics, and health policy. Reflections should include the following: 
How to make informed decisions on nursing practice and patient outcomes on a global basis.  In addition, state how you will apply what you have learned in this course to your upcoming practicum experience.   
Describe how one will apply content from NR506NP to the upcoming clinical courses.

Reminder: only your first, unedited post will be graded for this assignment.
For this CLT discussion you are asked to engage in active listening and reflect on how you respond to this. 
Noise generates a stress response in the amygdala, which learns over time that danger may be approaching, triggering a release of cortisol. When we think about the word “noise” we often imagine negative sounds but what about positive or soothing sounds? How might they affect our cortisol levels, norepinephrine, epinephrine and ultimately affect heart rate and blood pressure? How do they make us feel and what impact might our environment have on cardiac disease development? How is the neurological system also connected?
Assignment process:
Read: Münzel et al. (2018).Environmental Noise and the Cardiovascular System.Links to an external site. Journal of the American College of Cardiology 71(6). 688-697.
Apply reading learnings:
Use your own pulse or that of another (either manually or with a smart watch/device) to assess heart rate while listening to a variety of sounds. 
1. Choose sounds from each list – positive and negative
Examples of Positive Sounds (although not inclusive): laughter, rustling leaves, water (stream, ocean, waterfall, etc.), crackling fire, music, etc.
Examples of Negative Sounds (although not inclusive): pounding jackhammer, buzzer or bell ringing, dental drill, baby crying, mosquito, music, etc. 
2. Develop a Mind Map showing the connections to sound and the body’s stress response. Starting with your main concept or theme in the center and branching out from there to visually organize the information in a hierarchy, showing relationships. A Mind Map is different than a Concept Map, which we will work on later in the semester. A Mind Map focuses on one theme or concept with relationships shown by connecting lines that are not bi-directional and arrangement is represented in a radial manner.

3. Post your mind map to your CLT discuss and compare/contrast your experiences with your CLT members.
4, Review rubric to ensure all components are included in assignment submission.

A 52-year-old man presents to your office for an acute visit because
of coughing and shortness of breath. He is well known to you because of
multiple office visits in the past few years for similar reasons. He has
a chronic “smoker’s cough,” but reports that in the past 2 days his
cough has increased, his sputum has changed from white to green in
color, and he has had to increase the frequency with which he uses his
albuterol inhaler. He denies having a fever, chest pain, peripheral
edema, or other symptoms. His medical history is significant for
hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, and two hospitalizations for
pneumonia in the past 5 years. He has a 40 year history of smoking and
continues to smoke two packs of cigarettes a day. 
What is the probable diagnosis?
What are other possible diagnoses?
At this stage of the case study, what diagnostic studies and basic treatments are most appropriate to order and why?
Please be specific and precise with answers. A table format or bullet
points would be beneficial in presenting your information with clarity
or organization.
