Using the Kelly chapter as a model, find a song that you believe makes a political statement. The song can be from the U.S. or from anywhere in the world.

How is the song choice chose differently from or similar to your example? Should be 250 words”After reading the Kelly chapter, I was very interested to see what other songs had strong political statements that may not be completely understood right away. The song that I will be analyzing is Katy Perry’s”Chained To The Rhythm.” Growing up, I always thought of Katy Perry as being a successful singer and song writer. I’ve listened to a good amount of her songs and even played a few on repeat for a few days, this song included. It never occurred to me, however, that some of these upbeat pop songs could have a deeper meaning. So, when I started reviewing the lyrics, I was very amused at how Katy Perry addressed the society we live in.Katy Perry’s stance is very apparent right off the bat with the song title “Chained To The Rhythm.” In this statement, she is alluding to the fact that our society is stuck where it is at. We have gotten comfortable with how things are and seem to be completely unaware of any slip ups in the “rhythm.” Her argument is further supported with the phrase “Are we tone deaf? Keep sweeping it under the mat. I thought we could do better than that, I hope we can.” These lyrics are addressing the fact that we as Americans seem to be completely oblivious to the bad things happening around us. And if we do see the flaws in society, our government finds it easier to act as if they do not exist instead of making improvements. Her words “I thought we could do better than that, I hope we can” are very condescending but also provide hope that action can be taken.Another interesting take away from this song is directly related to our first topic of discussion, which was global issues. This is addressed in the lyrics “So comfortable we’re living in a bubble, bubble. So comfortable we cannot see the trouble, trouble.” Although this does relate to the argument stated above, I think it is a great indicator that the American government and people try to act as if we live in our own little world and nothing outside of it matters. We seem to try and avoid issues that do not directly relate to us, as though to say that we are all living in a perfect world. This idea can be seen when Katy Perry states, “Aren’t you lonely? Living in Utopia.” This, again, just comes to show that we view the political and societal conditions as being perfect and in order for real change to happen, someone will need to step up and do something about the corrupt world we are living in.”

Hi, there are two discussions questions for this week and last week: Week 4: Think of an assumption that you hold about taxes. (For example, “Taxes are to be avoided, “We should pay more/less taxes”, you get the idea.) a) Write down this assumption in the form of a complete sentence. b) Now, analyze this assumption by writing down how you came to have this idea. (Some factors might be mass media, family, institutions, a specific experience’) c) Now, write a rebuttal of your assumption. (For instance, if I wrote as an assumption, “Trying new things is a sign of self-confidence,” I might begin my rebuttal by writing, “Perhaps trying new things can sometimes be a sign of insecurity, and of being easily influenced by others.”) Question: In 100-150 words, share something you learned from doing the exercise. —————————————————————— Week 5 question: Analyze your own listening. Name one listening behavior you have that does not match characteristics of effective listening. Devise a plan for how you will change this listening behavior. What do you think will be the main challenge of applying your plan? (100-150 words)

Founding Brothers Analytical Paper (5-6 pages)(A minimum of five pages is required. There is no maximum required. Students can go well over six pages if they wish.)Founding Brothers Analytical Paper (5-6 pages)You will begin by reading Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis.You will provide a summary and evaluation of the Pulitzer Prize winning book and provide a reflective and analytical discussion. A reflective discussion means you want to incorporate personal experiences to describe how the material applies to you. These examples can come from either your formal academic training or simply your life experiences. By analytical I want you to critically evaluate the passage’s content. A critical evaluation does not necessarily have to be a negative assessment. You may agree with the author’s handling of the issue. Regardless, you must go beyond merely stating your opinion. The best analytic papers are those that are evaluative. You must explain why you hold this position and what led you to this conclusion. (In order to fully understand the issue I would recommend consulting outside sources, scholarly websites and periodicals.) You must cite your sources throughout your paper.This paper also needs to be written in the form of a first person narrative. Meaning that you will write your analytical paper in first person.

My goal is for you to be able to articulate how you will invest in being a leader who is interculturally competent. This paper will challenge you to move through thinking about consciousness of self, other, and context (EIL model) as you consider what it means to you to be an interculturally competent leader. In this assignment, you are essentially creating a “new person” and then thinking through how you would lead this person. Specifically, what knowledge, skills, and awareness would you need to be an effective interculturally competent leader to this person. This assignment is a combination of a research paper as well as a reflective paper, so you will have to ensure that you strike a balance. Here are some more directives. Note , you must meaningfully use course concepts in your paper. It should be clear that you have been a part of this class. 1. I am going to give you a *table with a list of identifiers that relate to age, race, nationality, etc. You are going to pick 4 identifiers from the list (all have to be from separate categories), and you are going to research what life might be like for this person. *This is already available in D2L in the “Assignments & Rubrics” folder. 2. In your paper, you will present your research findings about your new person, then you will discuss the knowledge, skills, and awareness you will need to effectively lead this person. Additionally, you will also need to discuss any similarities or differences you might have with this person. 3.
