Our world continues to turn. Standing still is no longer an option. In fact, as Motamedi (2020) stated, The world is changing and becoming more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA). Fast and smart decisions and actions are foundational to creating success (p. 65). Review the article by Motamedi (2020) and select an industry that has had to make changes in a rapid manner due to the unpredictable nature of the external environment.

As you know, since January of 2020, many organizations and industries have experienced large- and small-scale change efforts. Reflect upon an industry that has been greatly impacted by change. Then, provide the following information in your paper:

Provide details about the selected industry (e.g., its history, function, contributions to society, etc.).
Offer detailed information about why the industry-related change was necessary.
What internal and external market/industry-related factors influenced the change?

During the Georgian period, it was common practice in comedic plays to use character names that reflected on some aspect of that character’s personality or on the nature of the work they did or place in society. “The Critic” follows in this tradition.

Please choose three of the characters from the list and write three paragraphs separately, explain how the character name reflects or comments on some aspect of that character. Here is a list of the main characters:

[Mr. Sneer – critic], [Sir Fretful Plagiary – playwright], [Mr. Baddeley – interpreter], [Mr. Puff – playwright and society writer]

Since I can’t provide this movie to you for free or facilitate a viewing of it together in class (as we would do if we were meeting on campus) watching this movie and the assignment suggested below is purely optional.

HOWEVER, choosing to do it will give you a head start on the long essay question for the Final Exam. As you’ll see on the Final Exam review sheet, if you watch Gattaca and write an essay of about 300 words in answer to any of the five questions below you will have the chance to upload that on the final. All that work will have been done by you in advance.

Of course, you could also choose simply to write the essay during the limited time period of the exam itself. But still, at least you’ll know what long essay question you’ll be picking so you’ll have thought about your answer.

I imagine that if you don’t watch the movie it won’t make much sense to pick this option.

Below you’ll see five questions that can help focus your viewing of this movie, as well as help you prepare for the Final Exam.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Guide to Watching “Gattaca” (1997)

Characters of Note:

1) Vincent Freeman (a.k.a., Jerome Eugene Morrow, or just Jerome)

played by Ethan Hawke

2) Jerome Eugene Morrow (a.k.a., Eugene after Vincent comes on-scene)

played by Jude Law

3) Irene Cassini

played by Uma Thurman

4) Anton Freeman

played by Loren Dean

I) Names play an important role in the tracing personal identity throughout the film. Note when and how characters are named, change names, conceal or reveal names. What is one instance in the film where a name deliberately reveals or conceals something important about the identity of a character? (For example, the main character, Vincent, has as a last name Freeman. That family name is significant because it says something about a quality (freedom) that he is striving to experience throughout the course of his life.)

II) An important theme in the film involves the way by which many of the characters are in search of their identity. More to the point, characters like Vincent/Jerome, Jerome/Eugene and Irene are constantly expected to verify or validate who they are via objective criteria such as DNA sampling. The irony is that these objective forms of verification are often deployed in the service of concealing Describe an instance in the film with one character in mind where such a thing takes place.

III) Briefly describe how one of the following environmental symbols functions in the film: 1) water/ocean, 2) sun/light, 3) blood or 4) sky/outer space.

IV) The opening credits of the film include two quotes: 1) Consider Gods handiwork: who can straighten what He hath made crooked? (Ecclesiastes 7:13) and 2) I not only think we will tamper with Mother Nature. I think Mother Nature wants us to. (from Willard Gaylin) Initially these two quotes present a view of nature that is in tension, one where Gods power to create and order things is paramount, and another where the human capability to manipulate our own being is encouraged. Are these two viewpoints necessarily conflicting? Why or why not?

V) When being interviewed by the detectives (one of whom ends being Vincent/Jeromes long-lost brother!) the Director says No one exceeds his [genetic] potential. In your opinion, is this true? Why or why not?

Write a paper on contributions by African Americans in the health science field.

Use the order calculator below and get started! Contact our live support team for any assistance or inquiry.

[order_calculator]

Topic: Explain the concept of freedom in the works of African American slaves.

What I do not want:

A biography only use biographical information that focuses on the literary aspects of the author’s life that are relative to your topic.
Plot summary – assume your reader is familiar with the text; avoid summarizing it or providing an overview of the work – use only the relevant evidence to prove your thesis.
Large copied passages quote sparingly paraphrase and cite sources.
Limited discussion and analysis go into enough detail to support your points thoroughly.
Limited historical connections be sure to relate your topic to what was happening in the historical time period.
Limited mention and discussion of specific texts be specific and refer to writings we have covered in class this semester (and others from early American literature if you wish).
Length/Format Requirements:

The paper should be 4-6 pages (a minimum of 4 full pages) typed and double-spaced. Use a 12pt font. Margins should be 1″ on all sides. Do not use a title page, but use a proper MLA heading. If your essay does not have at least four full pages, you earn an automatic zero. An additional Works Cited page is required.

Quoting and Documenting Requirements:

You should use at least 5 sources (including primary and secondary) for the paper. If you do not meet the source requirements, you earn an automatic zero. (I will check to see that you used at least 5 sources total and that you have at least one of each type.)

A primary source is a source by the original author (this includes the readings in our textbook). Primary sources should be from early American literature (beginnings – 1865). You need to use quoted material from each author that you refer to in order to support and illustrate your points.
A secondary source is a work that explains or analyzes a primary source (such as a journal article). So, for example, one of Bradstreet’s poems would be a primary source, and a modern scholar’s interpretation of Bradstreet would be a secondary source. Please do not use any websites at all or any sources written for a general audience (such as a dictionary, encyclopedia, newspaper, or magazine). Avoid biographical essays and plot summaries. Look for literary criticism that analyzes a text instead. I want you to use the databases and eBooks provided from the NSCC Library. The Literature Resources from Gale database or JSTOR database would be an excellent place to start your research.
Please note that our course eLectures, introductions/overviews of the authors – including those within our textbook, and our textbook’s official website are not the same as literary critical articles found through the library databases or eBooks. They offer overviews of the topics and authors, not the type of in-depth analysis you need. While you may use them as extra sources, you should not rely on them to meet your source requirements.
The quotes or paraphrases must be properly documented within the text and on a Works Cited page using correct current MLA documentation style. If you are not sure how to use MLA style, refer to the Additional Resources pages or the Getting Help Module or any current grammar handbook should cover this format. An essay with significant plagiarism will earn an automatic zero. Familiarize yourself with the definition of plagiarism according to our course syllabus.
