Address of business scenario for a company that is wanting to become more emotionally and culturally, intelligent organization

Pick a person and observe the way they walk. Where are they going? What kind of shoes are they wearing? Are they moving quickly/slowly? How are their clothes affecting their walk? How are they interacting with their environment? What else can you tell from their body movements?
Then, try to imitate their walk. Do this two to three times and take notes on how you feel as you adopt these new body movements. Is it comfortable for you? Unnatural? What do you learn about the other person in the process?
Using course concepts, write a reflection on this activity. Your narrative does not have to answer every question in the prompt above, but it should include details. While is an open-ended assignment, we expect your writing to have a clear narrative structure and demonstrate intellectual engagement with course concepts and materials. Creativity is encouraged.
Provide at least one reference in Chicago format.

This assignment requires you to construct a well-founded argument regarding the role of metaphors in explaining or describing illness, as illustrated in “Cutting for Stone” by Abraham Verghese and “Illness as a Metaphor” by Susan Sontag.
Instructions:
Introduction:
Introduce the topic of metaphors in the context of medical narratives.
Present a thesis statement that clearly takes a stance on whether metaphors and other figures of speech are essential for describing or explaining illness.
Body:
Argument Support:
Select two metaphors from “Cutting for Stone” that vividly describe medical conditions or the patient-physician relationship. Analyze how these metaphors contribute to a deeper understanding of the characters’ experiences and emotions.
Choose two metaphors from “Illness as a Metaphor” that address how society views different diseases. Discuss how Sontag’s metaphors reveal or challenge societal attitudes towards illness.
Evidence and Analysis:
Use examples from the texts to support your argument. Discuss how these metaphors enhance comprehension of complex medical issues or alter perceptions.
Incorporate at least two additional scholarly sources that either support or contradict your thesis to broaden the context of your argument.
Counterargument:
Briefly present a counterargument that challenges your thesis. This might involve discussing situations where metaphors could obscure or mislead understanding of medical facts.
Refute this counterargument with evidence or reasoning that reinforces your original thesis.
Conclusion:
Summarize the main points that support your thesis.
Conclude with reflections on the importance of understanding metaphors in medical literature for future healthcare professionals and literary scholars.
References:
Include a reference list formatted in APA style that cites all sources used in your essay, including primary texts and scholarly articles.

Film director, screenwriter, and producer Pedro Almodóvar (b. 1951, Calzada de
Calatrava) is Spain’s most internationally awarded filmmaker. Because of his stature, he
is also widely regarded as the most universal Spanish director. His camera has shaped how Spain is seen abroad. Almodóvar’s movies are often based in Madrid, so much so that he is considered the city’s “ambassador.” Madrid’s Office of Tourism has turned the director’s attachment to––and layout of––the city into a commercial opportunity by creating the webpage “Pedro Almodóvar’s Madrid.” This assignment encourages you to learn and think more about how cinematic Spain is exported to the world. His film, Julieta, takes place between Madrid and rural locations in Galicia, Andalucía, and Aragón. For your composition, reflect on the global exposure and representation of “Almodovar’s Spain.” Connect your close readings (I attached 3 readings that could potentially be connected to the movie) of two or three specific scenes to relevant thematic strands from our seminar: urban space, belonging, migration, gender, memory, and so on.
This paper does not require any previous knowledge of formal film analysis. Examples of existing analyses will be available for students upon request. Take it as a chance to reflect on how the movie provoked you. Identify your own set of observations and preoccupations for this essay. There is no need to include any secondary sources, but you might integrate ideas from the material we have covered in class if it’s pertinent to support your argument. Some angles might include: Which Spain is present in this movie, and what role do the city and the rural spaces play in the film’s overall story? How does Julieta represent themes of citizenship, gender, class, and race? How do the female protagonists interact with and inhabit the city? or any other question you want to ask about this movie.
