Analyzing The Humanities

/in /by

Part 1

Competency

Formulate, express, and support individual perspectives on diverse works and issues.

For this assessment task, you are asked to act as a critic for one of the various subjects under the umbrella of the subject Humanities. Through a series of critiques, you will be demonstrating your background knowledge on these subjects and the themes studied in the Humanities. In general, a critic evaluates a work or piece based on a common language of a subject. For example, certain terminology is used in the film industry for aesthetic, whereas other terminology is used in architecture. Aside from a common language of art, each subject usually includes a history of influence-how a work was influenced by other works and how a work influence aspects of today’s art and culture. Critics use this common body of history and aesthetic to offer critiques, or judgements on the validity of the importance of aesthetic (it’s representation of beauty).

Please watch the video below (02:33 – 16:32) as a refresher on this deliverable’s content. The video will not tell you everything you need to know to pass this test-out, but it should serve as a refresher.

Deliverable 03 – Humanities (Test-Out Sophia Replacement)

Competency

Formulate, express, and support individual perspectives on diverse works and issues.

Instructions

You will act as a critic for some of the main subjects covered in the humanities. You will conduct a series of short, evaluative critiques of film, philosophy, literature, music, and myth. You will respond to five different prompts, and each response should include an analysis of the topics using terminology unique to that subject area and should include an evaluation as to why the topic stands the test of time. The five prompts are as follows:

Choose a film and offer an analysis of why it is an important film, and discuss it in terms of film as art. Your response should be more than a summary of the film.

Imagine you had known Plato and Aristotle and you had a conversation about how we fall in love. Provide an overview of how Plato would explain falling in love, and then provide an overview of how Aristotle might explain falling in love.

Compare and contrast the two poems below:

LOVE’S INCONSISTENCY

I find no peace, and all my war is done;

I fear and hope, I burn and freeze likewise

I fly above the wind, yet cannot rise;

And nought I have, yet all the world I seize on;

That looseth, nor locketh, holdeth me in prison, And holds me not, yet can I ’scape no wise;

Nor lets me live, nor die, at my devise,

And yet of death it giveth none occasion.

Without eyes I see, and without tongue I plain;

I wish to perish, yet I ask for health;

I love another, and yet I hate myself;

I feed in sorrow, and laugh in all my pain;

Lo, thus displeaseth me both death and life,

And my delight is causer of my grief.

Petrarch

After great pain a formal feeling comes—

The nerves sit ceremonious like tombs;

The stiff Heart questions—was it He that bore?

And yesterday—or centuries before?

The feet mechanical go round

A wooden way

Of ground or air or ought

Regardless grown,

A quartz contentment like a stone.

This is the hour of lead

Remembered if outlived

As freezing persons recollect

The snow—

First chill, then stupor, then

The letting go

Emily Dickinson.

  1. Compare and contrast these two pieces of music:

Beethoven’s Violin Romance No. 2

Scott Joplin’s Maple Leaf Rag

  1. Explain in classical terms why a modern character is a hero. Choose from either Luke Skywalker, Indiana Jones, Bilbo Baggins, Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen, or Ender Wiggins.

Case 3: Drooping of Face

A 33-year-old female comes to your clinic alarmed about sudden “drooping” on the right side of the face that began this morning. She complains of excessive tearing and drooling on her right side as well.

To prepare:

With regard to the case study you were assigned:

Review this week’s Learning Resources, and consider the insights they provide about the case study.
Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient in the case study you were assigned.
Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.
Note: Before you submit your initial post, replace the subject line (“Discussion – Week 9”) with “Review of Case Study _.” Fill in the blank with the number of the case study you were assigned.
