Course Outcomes
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following outcomes:
Using evidence from cultural artifacts and systems, develop questions about fundamental aspects of human culture that inform personal assumptions, beliefs, and values.
Investigate significant developments in the humanities to inform critical questions related to human culture and endeavors.
Determine fundamental approaches to studying the humanities in addressing questions about how cultural artifacts and the culture they are created in have influenced each other.
Articulate the humanities” value in terms of their impact on contemporary issues, focusing on how humans generate unique meanings.
Overview
The enduring relevance of the humanities is that they encourage us to consider the”big ideas.” From wondering what culture is to how we study it and the relationship between objects of cultural and historical significance and the culture in which they are created, the study of the humanities is all-encompassing. The relationship between the creators of works of cultural and historical importance, the things they make, and how human meaning is generated through cultural works are part of the themes we will explore in this assignment. Humans seem driven to express and create in our search to understand and be understood.
Scenario
For this assignment, imagine you are a researcher of human cultures and an anthropologist looking back to the future and our world today. In this position, you develop a natural curiosity about cultural works and how they represent a particular culture. You are also curious about how cultural works influence the environment in which they exist. You are new at your job, and your first project is to thoroughly analyze today’s culture via cultural work, looking to understand how it represents the culture and reflects its cultural environment. The results of your analysis will be used to craft the copy for a brochure accompanying a museum exhibit about cultural works of the current year.
Directions
Analysis of a Cultural Work
As an anthropologist, you will start your task by analyzing the work of human creative expression that you selected in Module Four. With this work in mind, respond to the questions below. Remember, the insights you gain here will be used to write the copy in the museum exhibit brochure.
Answer the following questions:
Describe the work in detail. Consider the following:
Where did you see the work?
What elements or characteristics stand out to you?
Describe the purpose of the work. Consider the following:
What do you think the creator intended to express?
Were they successful?
Use the work to explore how acts of creative expression impact and are impacted by the people and situations surrounding them. Consider the following:
What contributions does the work selected make to continuing dialogue about that culture and the importance of its works?
State questions you have after thinking deeply about this work. What else do you want to know regarding the following?
The relationship between culture and expression: What is the relationship between the possible intent of the creator and your interpretation of its meaning?
Explain how your values have shaped and are shaped by your expression and that of others.
Explain how you would approach answering these questions:
What would you study about this work that might address your stated questions?
Where would you find information to address the questions?
Next, conclude how the work you selected relates to the humanities:
Please explain why you believe humans must express themselves through created works of cultural and historical significance.
Describe a culture shift or event related to the work you selected. This could be a cultural shift that influenced the creation of the work, or it could be a cultural shift that came about because of it.
Explain how a concept or resource you encountered in this course has informed your explanation. Be sure to cite any sources used.
Please explain how you think the act of human creative expression impacts and is impacted by the culture in which it was created.
Explain the relationship between human creative expression and the culture in which the work you selected was created using the insights you gained from studying it.
Explain how a concept or resource you encountered in this course has informed your explanation. Be sure to cite any sources used.
Please explain how you believe human creative expression can impact issues we deal with in the present day (contemporary to your coursework, not the future scenario posed above). Be sure to be specific about the issues you are addressing.
Use your insights from studying your selected work to explain how creative expression can impact today’s issues.
Explain how a person or concept encountered in your humanities study has informed your explanation. Be sure to cite any sources used.
What to Submit
Your submission should be a three- to four-page Word document with 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and one-inch margins. Two sources are required, one of which must be academic. Sources should be cited according to APA style. Consult the Shapiro Library APA Style Guide for more information on citations.

1. Review the materials above; then select a film of your own choosing. Before you view the film, you must find, read, and cite at least one research source beyond your textbook about the film (try Google Scholar or the SPC Library). If you cannot find a single research source or independent review of the film to use as a reference with citations, then you MUST select another film. In other words, the film must be one that has been written about. If it is a brand new film, check with your instructor first.
Your selection can be a full length feature film or a documentary of your own choosing. It must be at least 30 minutes in length. Be sure to watch the film immediately before writing this essay and consider jotting notes as you watch the film. Do not rely on your memory of a film you have previously seen. If you do, it will be obvious because this review requires close examination of the technical aspects of film.
2. After finding and reading a research source for integration in your essay (and carefully viewing the film), write a new thread using the following instructions:
In the FIRST paragraph (at least 150 words):
What is the title of your selected film?
Who is the director and what year was it released?
Is it considered a “classic”?
Identify any technical features of the film.
What is the genre of the film (e.g. western, romantic comedy, film noir, documentary, etc.)?
In the SECOND paragraph (at least 150 words):
Summarize the main plot and/or conflict in the film. Be sure to identify the main character(s) here.
Using the themes and concepts noted in Section 9.7 in your textbook (in the section A Word on Critical Viewing), identify at least three of these themes and explain how they apply to your selected film.
Indicate any “social issue,” if any, that is addressed in the film.
Identify at least one “camera technique” or “use of sound” in the film, and explain how it affects the viewer.
In the THIRD paragraph (at least 150 words):
Evaluate its “craft.” Is this a good example of this type of art? Is it well presented? What are its points of value? Does it have a message? Did we learn something from the characters and/or theme of this film? In what ways did the film resemble literature, theater, or art?
What types of reviews did this film receive based on your research of other reviews or scholarly commentaries?
In the end, what type of aesthetic experience did you have? Was it mostly an Apollonian or Dionysian experience?
Would you recommend this work of art to others? If so (or not), why?
Tips:
Consider stretching yourself for this assignment. You may want to watch one of the classic films that were mentioned in the lecture video or text. Or if you have never watched a documentary, consider watching one. If foreign films are new to you, consider that some of today’s best cinema is being created outside of this country. Don’t let subtitles scare you. After viewing the film for just a couple of minutes you will forget that you are reading subtitles and it will seem as if you are watching the film in English. But avoid films that are dubbed in English because often the dubbing is poor and makes for a bad film experience.
Below are a few suggestions for documentaries and foreign films that you might enjoy. All are available on Netflix and similar streaming services:
Documentaries (Suggested only-You can select your own film if you do not want to view any of the suggestions below):
The Thin Blue Line
Hoop Dreams
Man on Wire
The Queen of Versailles
How to Survive a Plague
Paris is Burning
China Blue
Jiro Dreams of Sushi
Craigslist Joe
Foreign Films (Suggested only-You can select your own film if you do not want to view any of the suggestions below):
The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec
Tell No One
Shall We Dance?
The Chorus
Like Water for Chocolate
The Triplets of Belleville
Ida
Cinema Paradiso
Amêlie
Ballet Russes
Alternatively, you can select your own feature film so long as you can find professional commentary on it or get instructor approval.

Answer: The clip above further assists us in understanding why we cannot stereotype low-income families. Provide an important analysis of family structure and social class that you learned from this chapter.
Examine the following quote by Cohen: “Will this trend continue, resulting in more and more money concentrated in fewer and fewer hands, and what does this mean for families who aren’t in that very exclusive club?” (2021, p.154). How does this sort of economic inequality affect families in the U.S.?

I need help with this MLA persuasive essay. The ‘Big Question’ for the study of Humanities We are trying to answer the question, as humans, ‘why do we do what we do?’
Essay Prompt: What purpose do these deities serve? Connect to our shared human experience.
For example, what universal human needs or aspects of human civilization do these deities represent?
This is the feedback I received from the professor: “I like the main idea you have here, but the prompt is not just about Egypt. It is about humanity or civilization as a whole. Connect the two ideas in order to fully answer the prompt and complete the essay.”
I also need to beef up the essay with some facts from the Sekhmet Word document, and prove my thesis statement using the main essay sources. Focus on how the king used religion, particularly the Sekhmet cult, to control, govern, and establish legitimacy in Ancient Egypt, and how that relates to humanity like a whole not just ancient Egypt. Essay also need a better outline and both images in correct MLA format. All content must be created originally without any plagiarism.
