“The Redemption of Hope: A Critical Analysis of The Shawshank Redemption”
Film Choice: Shawshank Redemption
Choose Your Film. Begin by choosing any film that you want to write about. Perhaps it is a film you’ve already seen and want to see once again—with a critical eye and toolbox you’ve learned in this course.
Analyze the Film. You will have an opportunity to express yourself as a film critic, someone who knows, and is passionate to write about, an aspect of film. Your review should demonstrate careful reading and close engagement with the film that you are reviewing. Think about writing a piece that could appear in the New York Times, the New Yorker, a trending blog in film or cultural studies, or in the online journal for undergraduates, Film Matters (Links to an external site.). Here’s a link to a published piece from Miami student Leah Gaus, an essay she wrote about ideal femininity and gender performance in Little Miss Sunshine and Dumplin’ (Links to an external site.). Be sure to refer to Writing About Movies for tips about creating your review.
Your review should also incorporate your opinion and astute analysis of filmic elements (such as camera shots, lighting, sound, camera angles, and mise-èn-scene).
To enrich your overall analysis, also observe the following (not in any particular order, but rather fold these items organically into your paper):
Personal Evaluation. Include your personal evaluation (that is, response) about the production. This should go beyond “I really liked it. . .” to make more substantive claims like “the production values were poor”). Do include your opinion (it is perfectly okay to use “I” when doing so), and be sure to give examples and evidence about why the production was successful or not.
Production Values & Cinematic Elements. Director’s concept, camerawork, acting choices, costumes & make-up, lighting, sound score
Close Reading. Refer to at least two specific moments in the film that exemplify your overall analysis. Describe in detail.
Context & Research. Research is important to this project. In order to know how this production created meaning, you will need to access:
Factual overview of the production, actors, and production details. Have a look at IMDb (Links to an external site.) or Rotten Tomatoes. (Links to an external site.)
Reviews of films. Use Film & Television & Literature Database or MLA Index (on Miami’s library page). Please use 4 sources for your paper. You may use up to 2 sources from our class readings for a total of 4 sources. Of course, you can always cite more than 4 sources if you feel that will help your paper.
Length: Your paper should be 5-6, double-spaced pages and a Works Cited.
Finishing & Polishing the Paper. Polish your prose, using proper MLA or Chicago citation style.
Please observe academic honesty and do not plagiarize. I AM INTERESTED IN YOUR IDEAS! -
Capstone Healthcare Problem Analysis Proposal: Addressing Condition X to Prevent Consequence Y “Building the Foundation for a Successful Capstone Project: Key Competencies for Addressing Health Care Problems”
For this assessment, you will construct a capstone healthcare problem analysis proposal on your selected topic. You may wish to envision your current or future workplace as the potential site for the presentation of the proposal. After your proposal is constructed, you will receive feedback from your faculty member. Later in the course, in a separate assessment, you will receive feedback from a practicing professional about the proposed approach to analyze data relating to the problem.
The requirement for this assessment is to produce a proposal that has clear section headings and contains a flow of logic. You may opt to use an outline format. Please avoid lengthy narrative paragraphs, as the proposal is intended to be presented in an imaginary workplace. Busy executives will not have time to read paragraphs word for word. Instead, expect that your audience will read the document by scanning. Your goal is to provide succinct yet substantive information with sufficient depth to cover your selected problem. Remember to include a cover page, table of contents, section headings, and reference list. The length of the proposal is based upon the breadth and depth of your selected topic.
The following general steps in construction of your proposal contain additional specific information requirements.
Step 1: Identify a relevant problem along with the associated rationale for the selection of the problem. Be sure to substantiate content with an authoritative source.
State the problem in a single sentence, tell why it is a problem, and add a citation from a current, authoritative source. For example: Condition X if not addressed may result in Consequence Y (source, year).
Step 2: Describe, using an authoritative source, how the selected health care problem is assessed and measured for quality improvement purposes. Include relevant factors and associated units of measurement.
Select six current authoritative sources that apply to your selected problem. You may consider your problem from an industry, organization, or specific professional level. Be sure to include any industry standards, legal, and ethical considerations that relate to your problem.
Summarize each of the six sources in a succinct sentence or two. Explain how each source directly relates to the problem. Be sure to add an APA formatted citation for each.
Step 3: Propose an industry measure of performance, such as a benchmark, which pertains to the type of organization selected for problem analysis.
State the major factors or performance indicators that directly relate to your problem.
Assign a unit of measurement to each factor (days, dollars, percentage, et cetera.)
Identify the authoritative source(s) used to determine the major factors you selected that relate to the problem.
Identify which industry assessment tool or framework you will use to analyze the problem.
Step 4: Provide a bulleted list of the preliminary action plan steps to complete the capstone health care problem analysis project. Examples include: conduct library search, formulate problem statement, identify factors and units of measure, and so on.
Step 5: Describe one competency from each of the five American College of Healthcare Executives’ (ACHE) domains that relate to your capstone health care problem analysis proposal.
Review the ACHE competency model:
Healthcare Leadership Alliance and the American College of Healthcare Executives. (2020). ACHE healthcare executive competencies assessment tool. https://www.ache.org/pdf/nonsecure/careers/competencies_booklet.pdf
Provide a short statement about how you practice one competency within each of the five ACHE domains. Consider including a table such as the following within your outline. Note: You have been provided with one example of how you might complete this for one competency within one domain. You will need to complete the entire table—one competency within each of the five domains.
ACHE Domain
ACHE Competency Selected
How This Competency Relates to the Capstone Health Care Problem Analysis Proposal
Communication and Relationship Management
Leadership
Professionalism
Knowledge of the Healthcare Environment Healthcare Systems and Organizations I chose health care systems and organizations because the capstone project will require me to develop skills in identifying substantive problems that the health care industry needs to address. It will also require me to develop skills in working to resolve a substantive problem within a health care organization.
Business Skills and Knowledge
Reminder: You will condense and use the material from your outline in your final PowerPoint presentation in the fourth course assessment. -
“Exploring the Paradox of Fossil Fuel Companies’ Support for Climate Regulations: A Political Economy Analysis”
original piece of scholarship on the political economy
of climate, due in the Spring Term. The proposal should include a concise research
question, theoretical argument, and a discussion of a proposed empirical approach for
testing that argument (e.g., the data you would use, how you would analyze those data;
qualitative and quantitative approaches are both fine). Aim to write something that could
eventually be published in a leading political science journal and featured on a syllabus
like this one. You may include initial empirical analyses if you would like, but this is
optional. The proposal should be no longer than 3,000 words. What is something in the real world that you want to explain? Research questions in political economy work often look something like one of the following (note that this list is not exhaustive!):
• Empirical contradiction of canon: The literature typically assumes or argues x (e.g., firms lobby against stricter government regulations). But here’s a case that contradicts that (e.g., fossil fuel firms supporting climate regulations). What explains that?
• Puzzling empirical pattern: Lots of non-fossil fuel companies / non-energy companies lobby aggressively against climate policies. Why, and what are the implications of that?
• Novel phenomenon that theory hasn’t accounted for: Workers of the same ethnic group or gender often concentrate in the same fossil fuel industry. How does that identity group clustering shape reactions to decline in that industry?
• Original intervention in long-standing debate: Scholars have long debated the sources of long-run political-economic development. Here is a new theory for why some countries are more developed more than others that is superior to prior answers for these reasons… -
“The Cultural Construction of Race in America: Examining Anthropological Views on Ethnicity, Nationalism, and Social Characteristics”
As a 4-field discipline examining the whole human and human experience, anthropology addresses race and the fact that Homo Sapiens (us!) are 99.9% genetically similar and the ascription of race to physical attributes (phenotypes) has led to the cultural construction of race that has been used to justify oppression and inequality. We focus this week on biology – human variation and adaptation – that frames the cultural construction of race in America.
OUTCOME:
Analyze contemporary anthropological views on ethnicity and nationalism, economic power and politics, and social characteristics (e.g., family, gender, etc.), as these views pertain to American culture and history.
Key Concepts
Race is not genetically real – what evidence do we have?
Phenotypes
Ancestry
Race is culturally constructed
