Module 07: Industry Evolution and Change
In this module, you will consider the systemic nature of change and change management in strategic planning. As we know, creating the strategic plan is just the beginning. Implementing the plan determines the strength of the plan’s ability to generate competitive advantage. Change is a feature of life and business and it’s also an inherent part of strategy and strategy implementation. It has a systemic nature that permeates all avenues of business and industry. Understanding the influences that drive industry evolution can assist with strategy planning, formulation, and implementation.

The Abrahamic Covenant
/0 Comments/in Humanities /by bonniejecintaQUESTION
The Abrahamic Covenant is found throughout Scripture, but specifically in the following passages:
Genesis 12:1-3
Genesis 13:14-17
Genesis 17:1-8
The One-Way Covenant involves one individual committing to fulfill the covenant. The Abrahamic Covenant where only God passed through the slain animal parts while Abraham was sound asleep
(Genesis 15:12, 17) is an example of a One-Way Covenant.
Is there any language that states, “if you do this, then I will do that”?
How long is an “everlasting covenant”?
How long is “everlasting life”?
Is the Abrahamic Covenant conditional or unconditional?

ESOC 300 Digital Storytelling
/0 Comments/in Writing /by bonniejecintaQUESTION
3) How important do you think linguistic style is for storytellers to gain and hold an audience’s attention? Were you, or was your designated reader, concerned about enunciating words, pitch and intonation, verbal tics, or the speed of speaking when reading one of the “Where I’m From” poems aloud? Remember, Julie Beck, Senior Associate Editor of The Atlantic, notes that popular YouTube vloggers tend to extend vowels, extend consonants, and aspirate words in their YouTube performances to capture the attention of an audience.
4) What is your reaction to critiques of young women using vocal fry (a lower-register oscillation, a glottal creaking, or a guttural growl sound at the back of the throat) or uptalk (rising intonations on declarative sentences) in their speech? Are you concerned about how you present yourself verbally? Why or why not? What does your voice say about who you are and where you’re from? Have you ever been mocked or criticized for your speech patterns or voice? Please refer to Terry Gross’s Fresh Air interview for examples of verbal creak and uptalk as you respond to this question and reflect on the voice track as the spine of any digital storytelling project.
5) What are three interview techniques that you found helpful in the readings about interviews? Why? How will these suggestions influence the interview required for your project? (Cite sources.)
6) Prepare the artist’s statement by describing and reflecting on the importance of narratives and the digital storytelling theories that influenced you in this unit. (See question #3 from your artist’s statement.) Specifically, answer in a paragraph:
What three course sources helped you with your a) understanding and design of digital storytelling and podcast, and b) your own writing, podcasting and thinking? Cite sources.

Key concepts: Coming of age, gender, family, & belonging
Over the next two weeks we focus on the building blocks of human connection, namely, kinship, family and belonging. Kinship remains one part of the ‘currency of life’ performing a foundational role in identify construction. The anthropological study of kinship encompasses how individuals are related to one another through biological, legal and symbolic/social means. Kinship defines our universe of kin and in many cultural contexts that extends beyond the human, to include various aspects of the world. The films we view in Weeks 8 and 9 frame kinship through the lens of coming of age, and gender, offering up rich cross-cultural illustrations of what it takes to grow up through connectedness.

Discussion problem
/0 Comments/in Writing /by bonniejecintaQuestion
As a professional and even in our everyday lives, we need to be able to understand different perspectives or points of view. You have to be able to put yourself in another person’s shoes and think about what you would do or how you might react in the situation. For this discussion, you will select a piece of writing and consider the writer’s perspective when answering the questions.
Before responding to the discussion question this week, read 1 of the following selections from the University Library:
Option 1: “Building a Bridge: Founded by Marine Veteran-Turned-Actor, Arts in the Armed Forces Seeks to Unite Military, Theater Communities”
Option 2: “Tuolumne”
respond to the questions that correspond to the reading selection you chose:
Option 1: “Building a Bridge: Founded by Marine Veteran-Turned-Actor, Arts in the Armed Forces Seeks to Unite Military, Theater Communities”
What observations can you make about its writer, intended audience, genre, context, or structure?
Adam Driver believes studying plays helped him put his feelings into words and become less aggressive as he transitioned from military to civilian life (Bock, 2020, p. 51). How might art and self-expression be used as tools for making change and building connections?
Option 2: “Tuolumne”
