USC Rediscovering George Herbert’s ‘Virtue Discussion

/0 Comments/in /by

Question

George Herbert re-reading assignment 2. Re-read your chosen George Herbert poem from last week and post a short (200ish words) reflection, considering how re-reading the poem this week compared to your initial experience of reading the poem last week, and explaining what new things you noticed about the poem this time.

This is what I said last time and what you should start from to do further considerations and complete the assignment:

VIRTUE

In George Herbert’s “Virtue,” the speaker wonders about beauty and how life is momentary. A tranquil Question of a “sweet day, so cool, bright and calm” portrays the few times it is filled with joy and perfection. Almost all the words repeated in every line, like dawn, out rose, and spring, denote accepting death as a reality. The poem’s structure of short stanzas with brief lines demonstrates how transient life’s joys are. These visual and auditory elements are put together very well such that individual can visualize an intense hue on the rose’s face, “hue, angry and brave”; as for sounds, it is found in the last three lines (Herbert). At the end of this poem, Herbert assigns virtue as an ever-stable force in an unstable world, suggesting that only souls through a righteous character are like old wood used over time. This poem is similar to self-reflection concerning temporary life but still powerfully talking about virtue, which forever remains.

Question

Post #1: 

For this post, briefly interview a parent to ask them: “Why?”

Why or why not did they choose to vaccinate?

When did they do it? Why then?

  • Was it easy or hard financially, logistically, emotionally?

What kind of parent?

Your own parent, a relative, a friend, or yourself if you’re a parent.

Post #2: 

  • Consider your own post and compare, contrast, comment on one post made by your peer. 
  • REPLY: For this discussion post, I asked my dad of why they choose to get vaccinated. He said he chose to get vaccinated for his own safety. Also, it was a work/travel requirement. For example, when coronavirus was going around, he wanted to get vaccinated in order to prevent himself from getting sick. It being a deadly disease, he believed that getting vaccinated would be beneficial to his health as well. Since Covid-19 was a global health crisis, he also wanted to opt for vaccination to contribute to efforts in controlling the spread of infectious diseases and mitigating their impact. He said it was easy for him to get the Covid-19 vaccines financially and logistically with everything going around on the news and also it being offered for free. However, he said that emotionally it was hard for him because he could not fully trust the source of the vaccines. Also, him hearing that people are getting sick from them made him worry a lot about getting vaccinated.

Question

Leadership Practice

The Vice President of operations  recently promoted you to branch manager and moved you to a new branch  office where the morale among employees is low and performance is poor.  Of the five employees, Amani has the most tenure with six years. Amani  seems to have the lowest morale and is not motivated to do the work,  although he is quite capable of doing it successfully. Bassmah has been  with the company for four years but has not mastered the new software  and is performing at a low level even three months after being trained  on the software. Hadeel also has four years with the company and Rawan  has two years. Hadeel and Rawan are responsible for client contact, and  while in the past they worked well together on reaching out to clients,  now there are conflicts and low morale. Samah has been with the company  just three months and does not understand what is expected on the job  and is contemplating leaving the company.

Approach the case as the branch manager well versed in situational leadership. 

  • Explain situational leadership to your Vice President.
  • Determine the readiness level of each employee and explain your reasoning.
  • Determine the appropriate leader behavior to match the employee level and explain your reasoning.
  • Develop a plan of action as to how you will lead each person to  higher performance and morale and explain it to your Vice President.

Self-portrait

Question

For this assignment, you will use the full width and height of the window, by using the following code in your setup() function: createCanvas(windowWidth, windowHeight);

Project Requirements:

Shapes (20%): Experiment with a variety of shapes, including circles, rectangles, triangles, and custom shapes, to construct your character, creature, or object. Shapes should form the visual elements of your self-portrait.

Color (20%): Utilize colors creatively to bring your self-portrait to life. Avoid using plain color names like “red” or “blue.” Instead, employ RGB, RGBA, or hexadecimal color codes for precise control over colors and their opacities.

Animation (20%): Add animation to your self-portrait to make it dynamic and engaging. This could involve movements, color transitions, or any other visually interesting effects that enhance your portrayal.

Text (10%): Incorporate text into your self-portrait. This text could be your name, a short message, or any relevant text that complements the character, creature, or object you’ve created. Display this text somewhere on the canvas.

Interaction (20%): Use either mouse or key event listeners to trigger elements within your sketch. This could include audio, changing colors, size, or movement.

  1. Syntax and Comments (10%): Maintain clean and organized code. Include comments throughout your code to explain what is happening in your program. Comments should provide an overall understanding of how your code operates. While you don’t need to repeat comments for similar functions, ensure that your code is well-documented and easy to follow.
