I Am Not Your Negro – film

Content Guidelines: The following points and questions are suggestions. This is not an outline. Indeed, there are too many points here to write a four-page essay. Pick yours and value depth of analysis rather than breadth. -You must clearly summarize the main sociological aims and claims of the movie. After introducing the main claims you can decide to write your analysis on multiple of them (be aware that 4pages is really short) or focus on only one claim. It could be the one that you think is the most important, the one that is most relevant to some class content, or the topic you are the most comfortable with or excited about. -What makes the movie a good social tool for change, a good sociological analysis of a social problem. How does it fail at doing this? Remember that I am not looking for a movie review, or whether you liked the movie or not. You need to show how the movie supports or refutes learnings that we have discussed in class or encountered through the readings.
-Use sociological theories and concepts to comment, illustrate, build upon or critique the main claims of the film. What sociological theory best relates to the arguments made? This is not poetry or creative writing. You must use sociological concepts and appropriate vocabulary. -What are the social change intended by the movie maker? What are the obvious claims and the hidden ones? How is reality shown? How are the main points emphasized, distorted, transformed, implied, eluded?-Do no express opinions. Your analysis is a sociological one, not an aesthetic one. This is not about whether you liked the movie but about whether the main claims appear sociologically important, accurate, if they are well articulated, the role that biases play in the production and/or the viewing of the movie etc… You are looking at the movie through your sociological lens, not a journalistic, a film studies student or general public one.-Use your sociological imagination to eventually expand upon the strict content of the movie and draw a conclusion that goes beyond the claims that were made in it. But do not rewrite the movie or imagine a follow-up version.-You can include, if it is relevant and enlightening, background information such as the film historical context, the film directors broader work and/or political/social agenda.This should be one paragraph long at most (around 5lines)-You can use briefquotes (to be included with this format of quote and timestamp …… (1234) if it powerfully illustrates or summarizes what you think is a key element of the movie. Do not fill in pages with quotes. Your analysis is more important than quotesand I have watched the movie.-You need to write full sentences and paragraphs. No bullet points.

Uploaded is an example of an “A” received at an earlier date with a separate movie. The sociological terms to use are in there.

The header will be your name(Justin Vazquez), and the title of the assignment if you want to put it in. (1 point)

You have been told you have only 6 months to live from the day you are given this assignment.

(IF you cannot do this assignment for some reason, you may write a letter from your older self to your younger self. What do you wish someone had told you when you were younger? This will be worth 10 points. Please still complete Section III. This will give 13 points total for the assignment. If you do Section II, that will bring the total up to 15 points.)

Section I (10 points total, 5 for service instructions, 5 for letter/eulogy):

You must plan your service: where the service is to be held, how you would like it to be (such as specific music to be played, flowers, if any, etc). Also include who you would want to be present at your service. Indicate at what point the person of your choosing should read the letter/eulogy. If you are choosing not to have a service or to have a more non-traditional service/gathering, be sure to let the reader know why and what you do want done. Include instructions as to whether you want to be buried and where, or cremated (if ashes are to be given back…to whom and what should they do with them?). Please include any other information you think people might need. This will be done as a separate letter.

What would you like to say to others, a personal letter, or what would you like to be said about you (a eulogy) at your funeral, cremation ceremony, wake, etc.

Choose A or B or C below (please indicate in your paper which one you are choosing):

A. Write a letter you would like someone to read at your funeral ceremony. Write it as if you were going to give it to someone to keep for you until your passing. There will be two letters. The more public letter is what you would like to say to others in attendance. Be sure to include who you would like to read the letter. Write it exactly how you want it to be read (usually written in first person, as if you are speaking to the people in attendance). The second letter will be your instructions, as listed above.

OR

B. Write a letter to one or two people that will not be read at the ceremony, but rather to let him/her/them know what you are thinking and feeling about your eminent passing in six months. A second letter would be written giving your instructions, as listed above.

OR

C. Write a true eulogy. What would you like to be said about you at your funeral? This would be written about you (also known as “third person”). So for this one you have to think about what people might say about you after you are gone. Include whether this will be done by one or several people. Include their relation to you and what you think they might say about you (identify each person if more than one).

Section II (2 points):

(This is to be written as if you passed at the 6 months mentioned above)

Write what you would like printed in the newspaper after your passing. This is known as your “obituary.” You may want to look in the local newspaper for examples of these short obituaries. Feel free to include a picture. This will be fairly short.

If you dont actually want an obituary printed in the paper, write something that you would want printed in the little program they normally hand out at services for the dead.

Section III (2 points):

At the end of your paper include a section on what you have learned from doing this project. What you say in this section has no bearing on your grade, I just want you to express your opinion (good or bad!).

Your research will be written up in the form of a 3 to 5 page paper (not including references.) The paper should follow APA formatting guidelines (Times New Roman, 12pt font, double spaced, all margins 1). This should be a well written, informative paper about the chosen company, structured around the research questions noted below.
The research summary section must be clearly marked with a visible heading and should encompass about 2/3 of the paper. The analysis section (your take on the information you reported in the summary section) must be clearly marked with a visible heading and should fill the remaining 1/3 of the paper. The reference list should be submitted to the separate reference-list dropbox and will be graded for accurate APA format.
Research Summary Section
The following is a list of questions to guide your research, but do not consider it a limiting or definitive list of topics for the research section. If you encounter interesting information as you research your company, feel free to follow that information and report on it. The objective of this project is for you to learn about this company and what they do well!
1. Obtain your companys most recent Form 10-K filed with the SEC (see instructions below).
2. From the 10-K, read your companys description of its business (Part I, Item I of the 10-K) and the opening paragraphs of Managements Financial Discussion and Analysis (MD&A, Part II, Item 7 of the 10-K). These sections should provide you with an overview of your company. You do not need to read deeply into MD&A, where the company describes fluctuations in its results, etc. That might be relevant later, but now, you simply want to understand your company.
3. Based on this overview, briefly describe what your company does. What are its main products? How many different business segments does it have? Can you tell whether the different segments are managed in a centralized or a decentralized manner? Note any other information you found interesting about the company as a whole.
4. Now, dig into the numbers. Find the companys financial statements (Part II, Item 8), specifically its Income Statement (or Statement of Operations, another common term. This is the statement that reports Net Income at the bottom). Make these computations:
Use the high-low method described in chapter 2, Appendix 2A of our book to estimate what portion of your companys expenses are fixed vs. variable. You should have 3 years of income statements, so pick the 2 years with the highest and lowest revenue to do the high-low analysis, and use total operating expenses from those same two years for the analysis.
Based on your estimate of the portion of expenses that are variable, compute your companys contribution margin (described in Chapter 3) for the more recent year.
Based on this result, compute your companys operating leverage (also in Chapter 3) for that same year.
Note overall trends in revenues and net income over the three year period. Are they increasing or decreasing? Is your company growing or shrinking? Does it appear healthy, or does it appear to be struggling? Provide your overall impression of trends.
If you are a numbers geek, like me, feel free to comment on any other interesting data you find in the financial statements.
5. Immediately after your companys financial statements, you should find a narrative entitled Summary of Significant Accounting Policies or something along those lines. Look through this note to see if there is a description of how they account for inventory (there should be), and see if the description helps you to understand whether they account for inventory using full absorption or variable costing (see chapter 5).
6. Comment on all of your findings from this financial analysis.
7. Now perform a more general search for articles or other resources that discuss your company, specifically with regard to why it is highly regarded as a manufacturer. Using summary comments or citations as appropriate, note what these other sources indicate about your company.
How to Find Your Companys Form 10-K
On a stock market website, find your companys ticker symbol (3 or 4 letters)
Go to the www.sec.gov website
Under the Filings topic, click on the link to Company Filings Search
In the Company and Person Lookup box, insert your companys ticker symbol and click on the link to your company
In the Selected Filings section on the right, youll see 10-K (annual reports) and 10-Q (quarterly reports) click here
Scan through the listed filings and find the most recent 10-K Annual Report filing. Click on it. You may have to click on View All 10-Ks and 10-Qs to find it if its not immediately listed
Now you should be in the 10-K. Look for the table of contents in order to find the sections I describe above. It may take a little looking around, but you should be able to find them.
Analysis Section
For the analysis, express your thoughts and ideas based on your research not something you took from a source other than yourself. The analysis section must not include more research. It should be your thoughts and conclusions, bringing together the information you found in your research. Specifically, you should comment on why you believe your company is considered by IndustryWeek to be one of the top manufacturers in the US, and what you believe your company does particularly well. Also feel free to comment on other conclusions you draw, including any faults or shortcomings that you discover about your company.
Reference List
References can be from books, journals, trade magazines, websites, or newspapers. At a minimum, the reference list should include a) the companys website, b) the companys form 10k on the SEC website, and c) other sources that provided information which were used to obtain information provided in the research section of the paper. APA formatting should be used to create the reference list, using guidance from http://www.apastyle.org/.
