Please write a three page essay double spaced about the followimg  Approximately 99% of man’s history has been spent as a hunter/gatherer. By at least 10,000 years ago, however, some human populations in some parts of the world settled down and became food producers. This development is significant because in many parts of the world food production preceded and formed the basis upon which hierarchically-structured societies (civilizations/states) were built.  Using data from one of the following regions (Egypt, China OR the Andean Region of South America) address the issues below:   (a) hunting-gathering background.                                                                                                         (b) settled village life,                                                                                                                                    (c) food production,                                                                                                                                   (d) when and where did hierarchically-structured societies develop,                                                   (e) what factors were associated with this development, and                                                                             (f) what factors were associated with the fall of this society.                                                                 (g) Support your answers with archaeological data (evidence);

The purpose of this report is to study one Jazz, Blues or Rock N’ Roll music composer/artist from any era. (Creedence Clearwater Revival is the band this paper will be about) After you have chosen your topic and had it approved by the instructor, study your topic in depth and write a 3-5 page report about it. Your textbook provides a very thorough list of music composers. If you have interest in a composer whose name is not in the textbook, it must be approved by the instructor. It is the student’s responsibility to choose a topic for this report.   How to get started:   1)    Select a minimum of 60 minutes’ worth of music from your chosen topicand listen to the music a minimum three times through. Recordings will generally be available online, and some may be available at the library. Before choosing recordings, you should read enough about the composer to know which works are their most significant works. 2)    Read about the composer’s life and music. If there isn’t much in the library about your composer, you can search for magazine and newspaper articles and reviews on the internet. You should spend a considerable amount of time reading, researching and learning about your topic. CD liner notes are also a good source of information, if they are provided.   3)    After your research and listening are complete, organize your notes and the music you listened to, and then answer each of the following questions in list form, in order. Keep your report at no more or less than 3-5 pages in length. No cover page is necessary.   Part I: Basic Information Provide the following basic information about the composer, the music you listened to, and the sources you consulted: A.   Composer’s full name, birth date and location, as well as death date and location (or, if still alive, where s/he lives now)   B.   A complete list of the music you listened to, including all of the following information: composition title, album name and release year   C.   Complete list of your reading resources Example: Grove Online Dictionary of Music: Article on Scott Joplin H.C. Robbins Landon: The Mozart Compendium (Schirmer Books) If you read ten short magazine articles, your list would look like this: The Story of Crosby, Stills and Nash, Rolling Stone Magazine, June 1969 CSN Take Madison Square Garden, New York Times review, July 1970, etc. Note: This is a book and article list rather than a full bibliography, which might be required in another course. For hardcover books, you should include the publisher’s name. For magazines and newspapers, give the name and issue date. You should be able to fit all the above information onto one page. You will need the rest of the pages to answer the short essay questions from Part II below. Part II: Short Essay questions There are 5 questions which should fit on the remaining pages. You can write a little more for some and a little less for others. Write clearly and informatively, and be concise. Demonstrate what you have learned about your composer and his/her music. A.   Why did you choose this composer? Had you heard this music before, or did you discover it for the first time during this project? Discuss aspects of the musical period, the style, or the musician’s catalog that attracted you.   B.   Summarize important events in the composer’s life, such as musical family background, teachers or influences, first artistic successes, and later masterworks. Demonstrate why the composer was significant.   C.   Out of your list of songs by your composer, choose three (3) favorite pieces and write a short essay paragraph about each one. Include the following: a.  Brief description of the work b.  When, where, and why the work was written c.  What you liked about the piece ·         Be as specific as possible. For example, you could say, “I like the way the strings played long running passages – it was very exciting.” ·         Use the techniques we have learned in class to understand the music, and describe it in terms of its specific elements. For example, you could say, “The melody was very regular, but the rhythm was syncopated and uneven.”   D.   Now, of the three works you chose above, take one of your favorite pieces and answer the following question about it: How did this piece make you feel? Be subjective. You may have juxtaposed reactions, or opposite emotions such as happy/sad, relaxed/tense, light/heavy. Choose the words that best describe your feelings about the music. Relate these feelings to the elements of the music itself. For example, you could say, “The slow rhythm and complex harmonies made me feel very tense. It built up to a strong climax, when suddenly, the rhythm became fast and pulsating and the harmonies changed quickly.”   E.   In conclusion, think about the composer you chose and the music you listened to. Answer these questions:   How did listening to this composer’s music and learning about his/her life affect my appreciation of music? What discoveries did I make about the music and about myself as a music listener?The purpose of this question is for you to journal your experience with the music.     Assignment Requirements -Your assignment must be 3-5 pages in length (no more or less), and it must address both Part I and Part II.   – A standard writing style format is preferred but not required.

Is the medium the message? How do new media alter the relations between a product and its consumers or audience when it is remediated through new media technologies? Draw on three different works of popular culture that have undergone remediation, or look at one work that has gone through three forms of remediation. How has each remediation changed its content or its relationship to different audiences? What remains the same? Does remediation lead to a profoundly different set of relationships between culture, consumers, and industry?

Mr. K. is a 62-year-old man who lives alone. He was admitted 4 days ago to an extended-care facility on his third postoperative day from a right total knee replacement for care and rehabilitation until he can safely care for himself at home. He is prescribed hydrocodone with acetaminophen (Vicodin) for pain control. The prescription reads: “Vicodin (5?mg hydrocodone; 300?mg acetaminophen) one to two tablets every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain.” He tells you that overall, his pain is not bad except when he comes back from physical therapy. Then it is “really roaring.” He also says he tries to take the drug just at that time so that he does not become addicted. What type of pain is he having? How will you know the severity of “really roaring” pain?  What specific type of drug is Vicodin? What type of change(s) could be made in drug delivery with the current prescription to help relieve his pain more effectively? . What will you tell him about his potential for addiction?  If he were to receive two Vicodin tablets every 4 hours around the clock, what would be his total dose of acetaminophen for the day?  Please answer these questions in an integrated essay that should be about 2 pages. Submit your completed assignment by following the directions linked below. Please check the Course Calendar for specific due dates. Save your assignment as a Microsoft Word document.

For this wrap-up we’re going to do a close-listening to a piece of music and consider how it responds to broader themes in our course. Please listen to the “Dies Irae” of Mozart’s Requiem.  Then read this article from France Musiques. Then write a 250-word response that addresses the concept of composition in the Classical Period. If, as we know, Mozart didn’t complete this piece, but it was instead a posthumous collaboratively completed work, why do historians and audiences adhere to an auteur theory around this piece? What is it in the sound of this piece, in the history of the mass, or in the legend of Mozart that allows a legend like this to persist? Please consider some of the reading and discussions we’ve already had, as well as perhaps doing a little reading on the history of the Requiem mass, and the Dies Irae specifically.
