In 800-900 words, write a response paper to answer the following overarching questions: 1) Please clearly define the terms, identity and invisibility. 2) In what ways have American literature and film have depicted American cross-cultural identities? Please use the terms, identity and invisibility, in your response. Cross-cultural identities include individuals who have made decisive choices to embrace cultures outside of their own cultural roots and individuals who identify as more than one ethnicity or culture. When discussing cultures, please be very specific; in other words, do NOT lump all cultures as all-inclusive. For example, Japanese culture is different from Chinese culture. African American cultures (northern vs. southern vs. mid-western) are different from black Caribbean cultures (e.g., Haitian, Cuban, Jamaican, Puerto Rican, etc.) Within a culture, there are various ethnicities (e.g., British, Russian, Italian, French, etc.) Your response should reflect your understanding of various cultural identities, noting similarities and differences.

Suggest an approach that would require a tobacco producing organisations such as British American Tobacco to produce a report that addresses the “Triple Bottom Line (TBL)”.
Students are required to answer this question in a structured organised format in up to 2000 words. IF required a short Appendix that won’t be included in the 2000 word limit may be included. However, the emphasis for marks allocation will be on the 2000 word submission not the Appendix.
How you organise and present your suggestions is important. Marks are allocated for content, originality, structure, spelling/grammar, and referencing.
Students should consider the possibility of a TBL report that is concise 1-4 pages only, with detailed notes similar to those found in traditional accounting reports. The TBL report that you suggest should not be designed to replace traditional financial reports. Consider the TBL report as a supplementary report that coordinates the disclosure of TBL information so stakeholders can access information in a single place in the annual report that could become mandatory disclosure in the future.

Unit III Final Draft Assignment
A Cultural Critique

In our society, pop culture has become a part of the products we own, the shows we watch on T.V., and the fictional characters we talk about and even emulate. We often don’t take the time to consider what messages are being portrayed through these artifacts, and why the characters are portrayed the way they are. What is the history and reasoning behind these pieces of pop culture?

This assignment asks you to perform a researched critique of a cultural artifact, character, or T.V. show that has influenced our society. Consider objects that influence particular subcultures. How do Ray-Bans become symbols of a subculture? Why are people fist pumping like the characters of Jersey Shore? What does Barbie say to little girls? Why does Apple come up with certain iPod apps?

ESSAY TOPICS: SELECT 1

1. Define the main characteristics of The Jazz Age. Use at least two of Langston Hughes’s poems to demonstrate why he was the leading writer of the Harlem Renaissance. (See poems listed in second essay topic for choices beyond those in your text.)

2. Explore how two of Langston Hughes’s poems highlight his fierce identification with the plight of poor African Americans. You may consider the two poems in our text but also use the following poems as options that highlight racial concerns or the black experience (which can be found online): "Harlem [Dream Deferred]," "Mother to Son," "The Weary Blues," "Ballad of the Landlord," and/or "I, Too." Use specific lines from the poems to support your points.

3. Explain why Robert Frost, Carl Sandburg, or Edna St. Vincent Millay is considered a Modernist writer. Use at least two poems to support your points.

4. Examine Frost’s use of irony in "The Road Not Taken"–which is both his most popular poem and his most commonly misinterpreted poem. (Poem can be found online.) Prove with evidence from the poem that the speaker did not actually take a road "less traveled."

5. Consider the imagery in Frost’s nine-line poem "Fire and Ice." (Poem can be found online.) What characteristics of human behavior does Frost’s speaker associate with fire and ice? What theories about the end of the world are alluded to in lines one and two? How does the speaker’s use of understatement and rhyme affect the tone of this poem?

6. Examine the symbolism in Trifles or The Hairy Ape, being sure to relate it to the playwright’s overall social message that he or she was communicating about the time period in which it was written.

7. Read Glaspell’s “A Jury of Her Peers,” a short story version of Trifles written one year after the play. (You can find it online.) Compare and contrast the story and the play. Which is superior in your opinion?

8. Explore the moral dilemma in Trifles. (To do this successfully, you will want to construct an argument in which you identify whether the women were right to withhold their discovery from the investigators. Identify the different experiences that the women themselves had which made them empathic to Mrs. Wright’s situation and helped them to justify their actions.)

9. Explore the importance of the past as it appears in one of the author’s works we’ve read: Faulkner’s "A Rose for Emily," Fitzgerald’s "Babylon Revisited," or Katherine Anne Porter’s "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall."

10. Compare the jilted lovers in Faulkner’s "A Rose for Emily" and Porter’s "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall." How did each deal with the betrayal in their lives?
