Attached below is sheet music for Debussy’s Reverie. Annotate the first two pages of the score as requested in the 1st bullet point and answer the questions in the 2nd bullet point:• On the score, please mark the harmonic rhythm (below the music) and the phrase rhythm (above the music) from the third measure through the 2nd-to-last measure of page 2. Use brackets.• Compare the harmonic rhythm and the phrase rhythm. Remember: the “phrase markings” do not necessarily line up with the phrases. Some suggestions: do they line up with each other?

Do not do outside research or use external sources for this assignmentAristotle and the ancient Greek virtue ethicists saw a connection between virtue and happiness.  According to Aristotle, at least, it was impossible for one to attain true happiness–eudaemonia, or a “good life”–without first cultivating moral virtue.  Another way of putting this is to say that evil people cannot be happy in this way.  Interestingly enough, contemporary psychological studies of happiness seem to show that he’s right.  People who do “good” are more likely to live satisfying lives than those who don’t.  But Aristotle is making a stronger claim.  He’s saying that it is a contradiction–a logical impossibility–to have a satisfying life without virtue.  That’s different from saying it’s more difficult to do (which is what psychology tells us).  What do you think?  Is it possible to have a satisfying life–to attain eudaemonia–without being a good (virtuous) person?  Can evil people be fully happy? Explain your reasoning.Each discussion post should be at least 250Do not do outside research or use external sources for this assignment

+Essay #1: Making the Familiar StrangeThroughout this book we will be exploring how anthropology’s holistic, cross-cultural, and comparative approach can help us think more deeply about other people and live more consciously in our global world. As humans, we take for granted many things about our lives and how the world works, whether it is our notions of race or the cheap cost of a chocolate or a can of Coke. But anthropologists often describe how doing fieldwork can make the familiar strange and the strange familiar.Preparation: Review Guest’s ExampleFor this essay, you will be asked to conduct an anthropological analysis of a familiar object. Your book provides a great example on page 30: take a can of Coke, for instance. Can you make this most familiar cultural object unfamiliar? What would an anthropologist want to know about that can of Coke? What can you learn about yourself, your culture, or globalization in general from that can of Coke? How does the social life of a can of Coke intersect with the lives of people who produce it? To conduct an anthropological analysis – that is, focusing on the people behind the product – you could research answers to the following questions:1. What’s in it? Where in the world did the ingredients come from?2. What can you learn about the workers who produced it? What is their life like?3. What are some specific examples of places where Coke has had an impact on the local communities where it is produced? How has it affected these communities?4. You may want to explore one specific case study by researching Plachimada, India, and Coke. What is the relationship of the people in Plachimada to a can of Coke? Do they drink it? Do they work in the factory that makes it? How much do they earn? How much has the Coca-Cola factory changed their lives? Has it affected people in the community differently based on age, gender, or class? What actions did the people of Plachimada take to protest problems caused by the factory? Were they successful?5. What is the impact of the can of Coke on the community where it is consumed? What are the health impacts? The environmental impacts? Where does the waste end up — landfills, the ocean, recycled, repurposed?6. What do you pay for a twelve-ounce can? What are the real social costs of producing a can of Coke – in terms of water, power systems, sewage treatment, pollution, garbage disposal, and roads for transportation? Who pays for them?7. What is the environmental impact of making a can of Coke, considering what it takes to grow and process ingredients such as high-fructose corn syrup and the quantity of water required to produce the finished product?

Answer the questions below. Use the sources provided and also use outside sources as well.1. Based on virtue ethics, why is moral education crucial to a person’s ethical development? Illustrate the necessity of moral education by discussing the pursuit of pleasure and the virtue of temperance (from Birsch, 2014, p. 174, #8).2. Use your understanding of Just War Theory and Bellaby’s (2014) list of potential harms and the Just Intelligence Principles to discuss what you would need to know in order to resolve the ‘Think About It’ question for the week. Don’t think through this from a particular ethical approach, only discuss the potential harms and just intelligence principles that would need to be considered.3. Consider and discuss how harm should be assessed (to the target, yourself, Country Y, the CIA, and the United States).This is the Think About It pertaining to number 2 and 3 above: You’re a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV/Drone) operator for the CIA. Currently you are flying a UAV within Country X, which is within airspace that has been authorized by the CIA. A HUMINT report comes in that indicates a high value target has been spotted crossing into Country Y, a country you know to be off limits for collecting on.You can fly close enough to see the target from within your designated airspace, but the rules have been very clear that you must not collect imagery from Country Y. Your boss is telling you to verify the target before HUMINT move in to extract the target.What do you do?Sources to use:Birsch, D. (2014).
