Drama is a different type of literature that is expressly written in order to be performed. While some of the formalist elements you worked with in short stories are used with drama, they are slightly different, given the end goal of plays being performed. Pay particular attention in chapter readings on drama and how the formalist elements are similar and differ from short stories.

Trifles (1916), by Susan Glaspell, was a play that was originally a short story called “A Jury of Her Peers.” Glaspell was covering a local murder trial in Des Moines, Iowa, and she used the trial as an inspiration for her story and then play. If you would like to watch a dramatization of the play:

Description
In 750 to 900 words, identify an area of copyright law you believe should be reformed. Describe the
specific area you would like to see reformed, including the relevant statutory section. Then answer
the following questions: What are the problems caused by that particular area? Who is harmed under
current law? What is the reform you would like? Why would your reform help solve the problem?
Who do you predict would ally with you and why? Who are the foes to your reform and why? What
are the arguments that would support your foes’ position?

Be sure to include citations to at least five relevant sources that support your arguments. Your
sources do not necessarily have to support your ultimate recommendations, but should support
specific points made by you. Your sources can come from both the assigned readings and outside
sources.

The area that I think should be reformed: copyright exceptions for libraries, the problems caused by this area is that there are many people not going to a library to access things and everything isn’t available on google books. I would want to know what constitutes a location as a “library”? My reform would help to solve this problem by opening up the guidelines of what a library and or museum consist of in such as way that honors the copyright holder AND the people have access to the work so that the legacy of the person or people aren’t lost. I think possibly community archives or personal libraries open to the public could aly with me. The argument that would support my foes position is that in order to protect the copyright owner there has to be a system set up and requirements to what a library and or museum is. I also want to argue why is it possible for Google Books to put up a magazine for example and I am not able to do the same with my company? IE: https://books.google.com/books/about/Vibe.html?id=QCgEAAAAMBAJ
And what agreements did the companies give to Google in which they allowed their archive to be published on their platform.

copyright exceptions for libraries
In 2008, the Copyright Office received the Section 108 Report (www.section108.gov) which
details concerns with the current copyright exceptions for libraries and archives (and
discusses expanding the section 108 exceptions to museums). The independent study
group included a mix of copyright owners and copyright users; its work was cosponsored
by the Librarian of Congress and the Register of Copyrights. In sum, the 2008 report
concluded that section 108 fails to meet the needs of libraries and archives (and other
entities, such as museums) dealing with born-digital works, digital preservation and
conversion issues, as well as numerous types of uses and lending of works by patrons
of these institutions. Because some of the issues were implicated in the Google Book
Search litigation (including issues related to providing access to copyrighted works), some
stakeholders were wary of proceeding too quickly with legislative discussions. However,
because many of the issues are critical for libraries, in 2012 the Office will formulate a
discussion document and preliminary recommendations on these issues.

6.2 Assignment: Final Baptism Position Paper
Introduction and Alignment
Building on the historical and biblical work undertaken the two previous weeks, this week you will write an essay that synthesizes the biblical, theological and historical foundations of Christian Baptism into a position paper arguing for particular “norms” regarding the theology and practice of Baptism. (Note: you will complete a similar paper during Workshop 13 regarding Communion.)
Upon completion of this assignment you should be able to:
 Argue a convincing position regarding the normative theology and practice of Christian Baptism.

Resources
 Holy Bible, any translation
Instructions
1. Drawing upon the historical and biblical research you have undertaken during Workshops 4 and 5, and additional self-directed research as needed, compose a paper taking and defending your position on the best (i.e. most appropriate, based on your interpretations / perspectives) theological understanding and practice of Christian Baptism. You should address the following areas of contention:
a. Who is the proper or ideal subject (i.e. candidate) for Baptism? In other words, take a position on paedo-Baptism (i.e. infant Baptism) vs. credo-Baptism (i.e. believers’ Baptism). If your position favors one to the exclusion of the other, be sure to explain why you believe the other view is invalid; if you wish to recognize the validity of both, be sure to offer arguments defending the validity of each one.
b. What is the proper process of preparation for Baptism? What role does a profession of faith play (and whose profession of faith)? Are there certain requirements in terms of catechism or Christian education? (This of course depends a great deal on the position you take on the previous item.) Defend your view, explaining the ideal process of preparation for Baptism.
c. What is the proper form of Baptism? Address the elements (e.g. is water essential? any significance to amount, temperature, etc? any other elements?); the mode of reception (e.g. immersion, affusion or pouring, aspersion or sprinkling); and the formula and liturgical framework of the ritual (e.g. the words and actions). Also, address whether it is appropriate to celebrate Baptism outside the context of a corporate worship service, and who is authorized to baptize.
d. What about rebaptism? Is it to be encouraged, discouraged, avoided altogether? Defend your view, taking care to draw upon biblical, historical and theological norms, and not simply relying on experience or anecdotal evidence.

The goal of public organizations is to provide public services. This is done through expenditures ranging from salary for law enforcement personal to maintenance of public parks. Governments provide a wide range of public goods and often there is more demand for services than revenue to pay for those services. Determining annual expenditures is one of the primary functions of any governing body and trade-off typically have to be made.

In this discussion, you will review the expenditure priorities of COOK COUNTY ILLINOIS. Finally, you will make recommendation of how to reduce future year expenditures when faced with a revenue short-fall.

Be sure to first review your readings from this week and prior weeks that will help support this discussion and then research additional resources to assist in your evaluation. For example, it is helpful to examine available data and other public documents for the city or county. These resources are useful and should be incorporated into your discussion. Also be sure to incorporate the Mikesell text to support your analysis.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4
In looking at your local or county government budget, identify 3 departments which get the most general fund resources. Next, identify the expenditure categories that are most important in the total spending for each department. Finally, If this local or county entity was faced with a 2% reduction in general fund resources, what specific expenditure reductions would you recommend and why?

Connecting experiential learning theory (Dewey and others), transformative learning (Mezirow, Dirkx, and others), neurophysiology (Pelowski), Critical Theory (social emancipatory) and Vygotsky’s socio-cultural theory. The aim is to write a qualifying paper that will be a precursor to my proposal. This should include the foundational literature and conceptual and theoretical framework that my proposal will be written upon. The prompts should give a guiding framework but the final paper should reflect my inquiry and the state of the art as we know it to be today. I would prefer to keep the same writer for this paper and the writing of my co-writing of my proposal. Must have familiarity with Adults Learning Theory and the way that art is being deployed here. Vygotsky has never been brought into this the conversation before so adding his work here is quite new but I would like to see how it can fit. This is for 10 pages on top of and integrated into what I have already written.
