Visual Analysis Paper: Archetypes in Ocean’s Eleven

Prompt:

In Ocean’s Eleven, Danny Ocean is both the hero and the villain, but he embodies several amalgamated, Jungian archetypes. In a three-to-five-page paper, explore the role of Danny Ocean consistent with Jung’s categories, and explain how Ocean fits into three of these categories. Through examples in the film, research from Jung’s statements, and from secondary sources, argue how Ocean fulfills two archetypal definitions.Since the analysis is visual (a film), you should incorporate at least two aspects of cinematography from at least two scenes in the film that support how Ocean is perceived by the audience. When writing about each term, it should be bolded within your paper so I can identify each (list on BB).

Length: 

Min 3 FULL Pages; max 5 FULL Pages.

Style: 

MLA. 12-pt Times New Roman. Spacing is standard MLA [*if you leave lots of spacing that does conform to MLA, your paper will start at 80% and go down from there]. Take your styling choices seriously. The format of a paper matters.

Quotation requirements: 

Film Citation: List films by their title. Include the name of the director, the film studio or distributor, and the release year. If relevant, list performer names after the director’s name. Example:  Speed Racer. Directed by Lana Wachowski and Lilly Wachowski, performances by Emile Hirsch,  Nicholas Elia, Susan Sarandon, Ariel Winter, and John Goodman, Warner Brothers, 2008.

Instructions
Addresses Course Outcomes 1-4:
1. use knowledge of the fundamental principles of genetics and inheritance to understand the contributions of genetics to human physiology and behavior
2. recognize that genes are associated with physical and behavioral traits, and that these associations can be established and studied using the tools of molecular biology
3. identify and distinguish the contributions of genes and the environment, and the outcome and manifestation of specific traits, to frame relevant questions that impact community, medical, and behavioral health
4. recognize the commonalities underlying human genetic disease and identify the most prevalent types of human genetic illness in order to use the specific avenues for the screening, counseling, risk management, and treatment of genetic diseases
You are expected to prepare a human pedigree detailing the inheritance of a single genetic disease or disorder. The disease should follow Mendelian inheritance pattern. The disease selected should be a real disease, see OMIM https://omim.org/ , but the family on which the pedigree is based is fictional.
The pedigree must contain at least five generations and include examples of all of the symbols associated with pedigree analysis, including but not limited to living and deceased familial members, disease trait carriers vs. fully afflicted individuals, and male vs. female members, consanguineous mating.
The pedigree must show at least two marriage events (one in the first generation and another in later generations), and each familial generation must be labeled as is customary for authentic human pedigrees.
After depicting the disease on the pedigree, you should include in your brief summary:
A brief (two- to three-sentence) explanation of the disorder, its dominant or recessive inheritance pattern, its autosomal or sex-linked position in the genome and the gene name in the human genome. Also, you should include a brief description of the manifestations and clinical outcomes of the disease and include complete and properly formatted references according to APA formatting standards.
You should draft this assignment in Word, PowerPoint, or some other graphics program, and upload it to the Assignments folder by the date indicated in the syllabus.
This assignment is worth 100 points (25 points for the five-generation pedigree; 25 points for the correct use of pedigree annotation and labeling; 25 points for appropriate depictions of the inherited disease or disorder on the pedigree; and 25 points for the write-up at the bottom of the pedigree, detailing dominant vs. recessive and autosomal vs. sex-linked inheritance patterns). Please refer to rubric for more grading information for this assignment. Please also pay attention to the grading rubic for this assignment for additional information.

Background to the assignment: Who “owns” the past? Who has the right to define what the past means for us today? This assignment asks you to reflect on these questions. In the course of this assignment, you will discover that ancient history can sometimes be very contemporary, reminding us that the past is always present with us. Many of the conflicts in our world today have ancient roots, which is one of the reasons studying the past is important.
Description of the assignment: Go online and find some information about the “Elgin Marbles” (also called the “Parthenon Marbles”). Read a little about the controversy between the British and Greek governments concerning the ownership of these marbles. In a 2-paragraph essay, first summarize the controversy in your own words giving historical context; and then take a clear position by supporting either the Greek or British side. Discuss 2 main reasons that support your position. You do not need to do extensive research or reading to complete this assignment well. However, if you include sources, you must cite your sources in current APA format. This assignment must be 250–300 words and must include the word count in parentheses

Career Research Report
There are two parts to the Career Research Project:
• Part 1: Career Research Work plan – 15 points.
• Part 2: Career Research Report – 50 points.
Part 1: Career Research Work plan
In the real world, prior to doing a research project, you may be asked to create a document called a Project Work Plan. This document helps to guide the research project and is a planning tool to help you identify the steps in completing the research and writing the final project report.
Read Ch. 10 – Understanding and Planning Reports. Review the sample work plan on page 251 in the textbook. Then, create a work plan for the Career Research Report. Format your work plan that same as the sample on page 251. The Section headings for our Career Research Work plan are the same as the example:
• TITLE (WORK PLAN FOR CAREER RESEARCH PAPER) with your name and date underneath. For some reason, the publisher did not use a title for the sample work plan, but there should be one.
• STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM (OR STATEMENT OF THE OPPORTUNITY)
• PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF WORK
• SOURCES AND METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION
• PRELIMINARY OUTLINE
As part of the work plan, you will include a preliminary reference list (following APA format) with a minimum of 5 references that include the mandatory Marketline reports for the company profiles and SWOT analyses.
Part 2: Career Research Report
For this report, you will research and analyze two companies, which you may want to target in your future job searches, and you will determine which company (one, both or neither) you would prefer to work for. The paper should be approximately 2600 min – 2800 max words and follow the guidelines for an analytical report, focusing on conclusions and recommendations.
Read Ch. 11 – Writing and Completing Reports. Your paper should follow the format of the sample report in Chapter 11, beginning on page 296. Because most of the information that will be presented in the report will be from secondary sources, you must follow the APA guidelines for in-text citations, a reference list, as well as the use of headings. Seven distinct sources are required – e.g. the company website counts only as 1 source, even if you use several different articles from that 1 website.
Report Sections (Italicized sections** are the “body” of the report, i.e. the content; these would be used in the outline):
1. Cover Page – see pg. 296 in the textbook
2. Table of contents – see pg. 298
3. **Introduction – Present the reason why the report is being written, the nature of the opportunity or problem you are facing,the scope of your research, sources of materials and what conclusion you reached (direct approach). This is a brief statement about which company you preferred as your number 1 choice of an employer. (There are several possible conclusions you might draw – you prefer 1 of the companies over another; or both companies are appealing to you; or neither company meets your requirements.) You will also forecast what you will be writing about in the rest of your paper. (1/2 page)
4. **Characteristics of your “perfect” company – In this section, identify the characteristics of an ideal employer, using both professional and personal preferences, for example – company growth or types of products might be important to you from a professional point of view; and good benefits or location might be important from a personal point of view. Describe each characteristic and state why it is important to you.(1/2 – ¾ page)
5. **Company Evaluations – In this section, you will present your evidence as to why you chose one company over another. You will report for each company the following: products and services, customers, markets, company culture, SWOT analysis, and you will then give your impressions of how each company would meet (or not meet) your personal criteria. (4 pages total – 2 pages for each company)
6. **Conclusion –Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of each company and give your final reasons for choosing one company over the other (or neither or both). (1 page)
7. **Next Steps – What will be your next steps in following up on this report as you begin planning for your career. What do you need to do to be ready to begin your job search and choose a company.(1/2 page)
8. Informational Interview – Optional – See file under instructions
9. Reference page – following APA guidelines; example on the bottom of page 309.

Think about health information for yourself and your extended network of family and friends. Discuss consumer health informatics touching on the following:

1) Does information flow in an efficient and effective consumer-centric way?  For example, do you have easy access to your own lab results, reports, appointments, immunizations, significant health history, prescriptions/refills online?  
2) Can and do you email your doctor?  
3) If you don’t already access to your electronic health record, try setting up your own electronic personal health record or family health history https://familyhistory.hhs.gov or http://www.microsoft.com/healthvault   
4) Share your perspectives on persona health records based on relevant readings from the textbook, videos, or other research in addition to personal experience with your own personal health record such as MyHealtheVet, Kaiser’s My Health Manager, or Microsoft HealthVault. 
5) A new initiative is focusing on the health care consumer.  http://www.healthit.gov/patients-families  Take a look at this web site.  

Overall, Share your thoughts on the value of consumer engagement in health information.
