160-161; Chapter 6 pp.168,169,170) explain the importance of Vittorio De Sica, the film Bicycle Thieves (Italy, 1948), and the movement of Italian Neorealism.A few questions to help you to organize your answer:-Why do we study this movement?-What is the impact of directors like De Sica, Visconti, and Rossellini in the history of cinema?-Why do you think artists/entertainers like Aziz Ansari still are paying tribute to Bicycle Thieves today, 70 years after the release of the film?
A Working Model of Personality Develpment
As you learned from your analysis of various personality theories, certain elements might enhance how we understand who we are in Christ, other elements might diminish it. Depending on your theorists, your model could contain various elements of the mind/brain that define our personality, such as (this is a partial list) consciousness/sub-consciousness, cognition, emotions/reason, memories/imagination, ego/Self, behavior, disorders, social environment and the Holy Spirit. Directions: Effective papers should (1) introduce the field of personality theory and the need for a holistic model, (2) present, explain and visualize your model of personality elements by inserting a diagram or figure you have created/adapted, (3) assess your model using Feist’s six dimensions, and (4) explain how your model builds on Scripture and various theorists.

Writing Assignment Help By doing so, you will develop your ability to a) apply qualitative evidence to ideas from class and b) critically assess the intrahousehold division of labor and bargaining using different lenses.Identify an example for each of the following two types of families. The examples should be from movies, television shows, or books.A household with a cisgender male breadwinner and a cisgender woman who primarily stays home (may work part-time).A household involving any other arrangement with two adults: female breadwinner/stay-at-home dad, same-sex couple, non-binary or trans partner(s), etc.For each example, discuss the following:General Portrayal, Gender Norms, and IntersectionalityDescribe the family’s basic structure and its members.Are traditionally gender-conforming (masculine or feminine) traits attributed to characters in this family? Give examples.Comment on the impact of other intersections of identity on the characters or story. Namely, discuss how the characters may experience oppression or privilege based on their class, race, religion, nationality, gender identity, disability/ability, or sexuality.Division of LaborWhich types of household and/or market work does each person do?Carefully discuss how Gary Becker’s model of the household division of labor (i.e., his model of specialization based on comparative advantage) does or does not apply to the household. Be as thorough and specific as possible. Be sure to clearly explain who has the comparative advantage in housework and who has the comparative advantage in paid market work. What is one benefit of this division of labor for the household? What is one challenge or potential problem with this division of labor?Intrahousehold Bargaining and InequalityWhich character do you think has a lower threat point? Why do you think so?Carefully discuss how Barbara Bergmann’s critique in the “Economic Risks of Being a Housewife” (1981) applies or does not apply to the household. Provide at least two specific examples from her essay that apply to the household, or evidence that they do not apply.You will more than likely need to make some educated guesses to answer some of these questions. Just use specific evidence from the movie, series, or book to support your points as much as possible. Part 2 (about 1/2 page): ReflectionWhich family portrayal (or division of housework/paid work) do you prefer? Explain why. Do you think a viewer that you would call “feminist” would agree with you? Explain why. (There is not necessarily a right answer, but do recall the definition of feminism presented in class.) What kind of impact do you think that this movie/show/book has on audiences?Formatting:Double-spaced essay (no lists), 12 pt font, MLA or APA format. You must cite all sources (including the movies, television shows, or books you use as well as and Bergmann’s paper): this includes a works cited page and in-text citations.(6-7pages)

Team: Case Study
Ap was Purchased by RM Group in 2021. Ap Construction is an engineering organization that specializes in maintenance and capital improvement and Ap employs approximately 100 employees to maintain 200 acres of residential and retail properties. RM Group is an international building services company that manages facilities, retail properties, and business storage.Upon acquisition, RM removed Ap’s Management team and kept the rank-and-file employees and frontline supervisors but installed RM Division chiefs and Branch heads. The new management arrived in the southern town of West Chester, Alabama. The management displayed biases toward the employees from the local area. The managers made fun of the southern accents and made jokes about education levels. There was a cultural difference between the employees and management.RM management scheduled meetings using digital collaboration tools but there was a lack of focus by participants, minimal engagement, and leaders providing no guidance following the meetings.RM disseminated information loosely and without intent. Meeting invites were sent one hour prior to the meeting. Managers define deadlines as ASAP.RM would not provide training opportunities to former Ap employees.RM Managers gave all former Ap Construction employees either a Satisfactory or an Unsatisfactory and withheld Outstanding appraisals. RM was not measuring performance but using rumors to formulate appraisals of employees.Telework policy for White Collar force was muddled. There was no order and team members did not know when to expect colleagues because the telework schedule changed constantly.Negative impact on RM Group Products and Services:- Groupthink- Delivering sub-standard products and services- Loss of talent- Potential loss of $10 million dollar maintenance contractInstructionsCase StudyYou will assume the role of a consultant and complete a second case study.Taking the course content and your knowledge full circle and applying it to the negative issues transpiring at RM Group managing Valley Hill Promenade.Required Elements of the Final Case Study:- This case study presents a very specific series of teams-based challenges that must be identified and proposed plans to move forward should be developed on clearly developed research and skills gained from this class- Be sure that this paper clearly demonstrates knowledge of team development, challenges, goals, and beyond- There should be clear connections and citations to course topicsRequired Formatting of the Final Case Study:- Use only course content and reference material provided- This report should be double-spaced, in 12-point font, and 5 pages in length excluding the title page and reference page- Title page- Use a minimum of 8 references (three may be your course material)- Use APA 7 formatting for in-text citations and reference page.

Movie Analysis Paper
It is your goal to be able to connect some of the interpersonal communication theories to those that we have covered over the course to the interpersonal communications that take place between the characters in the movie. After you watch and review the movie, I want you to think about which interpersonal concepts you want to write about. In a 2 to 3-page paper, pick three variables that are related to interpersonal communication that you have felt were portrayed in the movie. I’ve put together a list of variables for you to choose from. I want you to pick two of these variables and then think of one of your own to write about, for a total of three variables parentheses (two from the list below, and one from your own thoughts). I would like you to develop a clear and structured organizational format. This includes having an introduction with a clear and focused thesis statement, a fully developed body, and a well-rounded conclusion. In the body I would like you to spend some time defining and explaining each of the three variables. Be sure to cite any sources that you use. After you give the reader a sense of what the interpersonal communication variable is about, I would like you to apply that variable to the movie. In other words, how was the variable portrayed in the movie? During this discussion, I want you to site-specific examples/scenes from the movie. Assume that the reader of your paper has not taken an interpersonal communications course and has not seen the movie. In other words, do a full analysis of each variable and how that variable was displayed in the movie. Here is a list of some possible variables that you can choose from. They are portrayed in the movie. Please choose two of them to write about, and don’t forget that you will need to also include a third variable that is not from the list below. You may want to take notes during the movie so that you can cite specific scenes. Self-disclosure (wide open topic) Differences between males and females in a humorous use Differences between males and females in the language use Relational development Perceived self vs presenting self Paraphrasing Cultural differences in communication Clichés Stereotyping Self-concept (identity building) Format:The paper should be in the standard MLA or APA format and guidelines. The paper is worth 75 points. Any sources that you list will not be included in your page count. The Movie: Titanic I am asking you to watch the movie on your own and take notes. Below I have attached a way to rent and purchase the movie in different ways. As well as, the trailer and movie storyline so you know you are watching the correct movie. This movie does contain nudity, there are some edited versions out there if this is something that will unsettle you. Titanic, Storyline: “James Cameron’s “Titanic” is an epic, action-packed romance set against the ill-fated maiden voyage of the R.M.S. Titanic; the pride and joy of the White Star Line and, at the time, the largest moving object ever built. She was the most luxurious liner of her era — the “ship of dreams” — which ultimately carried over 1,500 people to their death in the ice cold waters of the North Atlantic in the early hours of April 15, 1912.”
