446

What are the threats from cannabis cultivation/marijuana production in the United States?

 

1.History and myth frequently become intertwined. The results of this can often be devastating. This can occur when two distinct cultures collide. One example can be found in the history of the Aztecs and the Spanish conquest. Describe what happened. In particular, name the myth and what occurred afterwards because the Aztec people believed in it. Discuss other examples of history and myths becoming intertwined.

2.Heroes can often possess “bad attitudes.” These heroes will often defy authority figures in the stories. Explain why independent thinking is an integral part of heroism. Discuss several examples of such heroes in myths. Describe several in modern novels and movies.

3.Mythology pervades American culture today. Cite examples as to how mythology influences the media and pop culture. How is mythology reflected in video games? Explain with several examples.

DISCUSSION BOARD FORUM 1

HIUS 316 – Jacksonian America

Topic: Overview of Judicial Supremacy vs. State Interposition

Module/Week 3 — King Jackson?

Read the short selections found in the “Readings and Study” folder from Story’s “Commentaries on the Constitution” arguing for judicial supremacy and Upshur’s “A Brief Enquiry into the Nature and Character of our Federal Government” arguing for state sovereignty in questions of constitutionality.

What were the constitutional bases for judicial supremacy and state interposition/nullification? Imagine yourself as an American citizen in the Jacksonian Era reading these definitive arguments for the two camps of constitutional interpretation—-which argument would you find most convincing? Now, looking back from a 21st-century perspective, is your answer the same?

Create a thread (250-300 words) then read the posts by your classmates and reply to 2 of your classmate’s posts (150-200 words each).

409

Please locate a case of actual use of cyber systems or ongoing threats and research that case. Provide a summary of the case, the role of counterintelligence in detecting and undoing the threat, and the role of analysis in identifying and addressing the problem. Please choose a specific case, nothing general or abstract (you’ll not be able to draft a summary).

Define detection, deception, and neutralization within the tenets of offensive counterintelligence.

Instructions

Although you are perhaps not an artist, over this semester you have become a curator of the arts, and in this way, you have consolidated and expressed your aesthetic views and commitments, and/or have discovered and developed them along the way. This licenses you to posit an overarching philosophy regarding your feelings on art and how it communicates about, or connects to, your world. In this assignment, you will unify your semester’s work into a kind of bigger analytic whole.

To begin this assignment, look over the many works you’ve posted and try to find some overarching theme.  Keep in mind that you have considerable leeway and creativity in how you approach this, but it should be something that you can support by citing and discussing the blog entries you’ve posted over the course of the semester. You may not find a theme to connect all of the posts (though it is possible), but you can surely find some theme to connect several of them.

For example, let’s assume that I – a student in online 2020 – am looking over my blog posts, seeking within them patterns or unifying values. I notice that I chose to analyze an abstract painting that’s busy with jagged lines and sharp angles; my playlist features songs like Wham’s “Wake Me up before You Go-Go,” and Eminem’s “Stay Wide Awake”; my photo series features shots of my favorite coffee cups from my considerable home collection. I realize a unifying theme of stimulants/stimulation, thus I write “The Stimulist Manifesto” (note that I make up this term, but one that makes sense in its context, just like Andre Breton did in his “Surrealist Manifesto”–keep in mind, in this assignment you can be creative, have fun, and still be analytical). In classic manifesto-style I might begin such a document, “WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!!!” Or, in another make-believe example, I realize that my scene from the Godfather is one of the many in which the Corleones are discussing the importance of family ties; my public sculpture happens to be of a boy and his dog; I have analyzed the scene in which Hamlet chastises his mother for betraying his late father. Thus, I might see a pattern here and pen, “Manifesto of the Loyalists,” my imaginary movement celebrating art that celebrates commitment between people.

Take time to look over your posts, consider what these say about you and your tastes and interests and try to find the connective tissue that can synthesize them. This may take some time and thought. You don’t need to connect all of the blog posts over the course of the semester, but the more the merrier, and you should reference at least three as examples in your manifesto. It is likely that your first post featuring your own representative work will help guide you toward some unifying theme.

When it is done, your manifesto will have a name that reflects its theme, an introduction that contains a statement of its intent (the chief cultural/artistic value or values that you want to promote). Somewhere within it, there will also be some statement of the things it opposes. It will then go on to show several examples from your blog posts that support your point in some way (this is your evidence). Don’t merely repeat the posts, but instead weave the artifacts and your thoughts about them into the larger structure of your manifesto’s point, showing how they fit into this bigger analytic picture. Again, have fun with this, and be as creative as you’d like; but be sure that you forge a meaningful connection between your posts by recognizing the things you value in your aesthetic experience. You may look over some of the manifesto examples below to see how this has been done in the past.

Although this is the course’s final assignment, a document of this kind is an explanation of you and your thinking, and thus should be able to function as an introduction to your blog, and, if you wish, even serve as the blog’s title. Feel free to post it as the initial introductory statement to your webpage. This posting should be at least 650 words. This assignment will be assessed on its formal clarity, the quality of the writing and editing, its degree of engagement with its topic, its creativity/inventiveness/originality of ideas, and the sophistication of thought it expresses.

This week we are discussing originality, which is definitely something to be debated. Is anything original? Do you believe God is the the originator of all things? Do you believe in the superiority of man to craft his own destiny by choice? We could go on and on.

One type of art I personally enjoy is when and artist will take traditional cultural art forms (the “original”)and give them a new flavor, if you will. For example, think of Asian fusion cuisine or hip street tacos. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a place for authentic art that is well done; but as far as creativity is concerned, I like a unique spin that is influenced by our current culture or an artist’s unique perspective.

This week, begin thinking about your final project in terms of this: will you build on older methods but add your own spin? Will you try some new skill and attempt to master the craft in the traditional style? What excites you when you think of your talents and being given this time to create?

Here is a video that embodies that balance between traditional and contemporary. Supporting indigenous artists is essential right now because their voices were silenced for so long. Enjoy!
