Choose an excerpt from two concerts, one of a pop or rock concert of your choice and one of a performance of music from the Classical Era (1750-1800 AD) chosen from the list below. Watch approximately 10 minutes of each concert. (Please note: The rock or pop concert you choose should be one you watch during this course, rather than a performance you watched or attended prior to the class.)After viewing the concert excerpts, construct a comparison of these two concerts and address the following:1. Explain why you did or did not enjoy the concerts. 2. Evaluate similarities and differences between music in the Classical era and rock/pop music. Be sure to reference specific musical attributes of the concerts, and use musical terminology and information from the course materials to express your ideas. 3. Discuss the types of people who attended concerts in the Classical era and those who attend rock or pop concerts today, and why people attended concerts in the Classical era versus today. (Be certain to use specific information from scholarly sources to support your points about concerts during the Classical era.) 4.

Student Sample: 

Hello class,

Articulate a moral dilemma wherein one has to show a specific virtue or virtues (it can be any virtue or virtues including honesty, courage, charity/generosity, compassion, etc.)

• What is the moral dilemma about?
• What virtue or virtues should be shown? (You are here selecting the best course of action)
• Why is that virtue or those virtues to be shown?
• How should the virtue or virtues be expressed, and why in that manner?
• Apply Aristotle’s golden mean to the dilemma.
• Tell us how the dilemma involves conflict moral duties (loyalty to community versus to self, professional versus familial duties, national or personal obligations).

I have chosen to discuss the moral dilemma that a nurse may face in the field is domestic violence. Whether this be a situation that involve partner domestic violence, child abuse or elder abuse, nurses may face this in their career. The ethical dilemma in this case is that the nurse needs to act with a sense of professionalism when faced with abusers. Nurses and other healthcare professionals cannot act out of anger at the abuser. The virtues that nurses must show in many of these situations is trustworthiness to the patient that is being abused, another virtue a nurse must have is compassion. This is a virtue that all nurses should have, you need feel  compassion for the patients you care for. The virtues should be expressed by making sure your patient knows they can tell you things in confidence and not be worried about it not being confidential and they must know you care.  Aristotle’s golden mean is the mean between two extremes where one end of it is excess and they other is deficiency (Kraut, 2018). This can be applied to this because you do not want to care too much to where you are crossing the boundary between patient and nurse on the other hand you also do not want the patient to think you do not care at all. Trustworthiness can be applied to the golden mean because you don’t want to the patient to think they can’t trust you so you don’t want to be on the deficient end of that. The dilemma involves moral duties to self because you may feel like you want to do more but if the patient doesn’t want that then you must abide by their wishes.
