Length: 500-700 words per “postcard”
Research requirement: minimum of 2 academic sources (i.e. books or peer-reviewed articles; NOT Wikipedia, magazine articles, blog entries, class notes, etc.) per “postcard”. The 2 mandatory sources .
1) Choose three (3) Roman locations featured in three different films, made by different directors. The films may be ones screened in class, or any other Rome-set film you may have seen, old or new. All 3 locations must be drawn from films OTHER THAN the one you presented on.

2) Find the location, spend some time observing it and thinking about it, and take a photo. Needless to say, this isn’t a photography course, so you won’t be judged either on your technical ability or your talent for lighting and composition. You can take it with a camera or with your phone. Just make sure the photo clearly shows what location it is and, if you can, try to take it in a way that bears some relation to what you write about in your text.

3) Write a “postcard” — or more accurately, letter — to the director of the film whose location you picked. In your letter, reflect on whether the location chosen by the director for his film could still serve a similar function today. In other words, decide whether the scene shot on this location could be replicated today — in a way that would retain the scene’s original meaning and purpose — and elaborate on your decision. This entails considering and demonstrating an understanding of a number of points:

a) What was the director’s aim in choosing that location? What function does the location serve in this particular scene, and how does it relate to the film overall? In the logic of the film, is this location representative of the city of Rome, and if so, what is it that the director is trying to say about the city? In short, what does the director’s use of this location communicate about his idea of Rome, and what particular aspects of the location make it suited to communicate that idea?

b) Has the location changed substantially over the years, and if so, how? Is the architecture different? Has its function shifted? Its socioeconomic makeup? What kind of people do you see? Do they have anything in common with the people shown in the film? What kind of activities are the people involved in? How is the space divided and what is it used for? If you reshot the scene today, what kind of an image of the city would you get? What would it tell you about Rome in general? Is this location still representative of the city, or at least of some aspects of it? If so, how do the changes (or lack thereof) at the location reflect the changes (or lack thereof) in Rome more broadly?

c) If the film you are writing about is very recent, and the location hasn’t changed at all, then was anything done by the director to change the aspect and meaning of the location for the film? Is the scene a mis-representation; if so, in what way, and for what purpose?

4) Be sure to demonstrate evidence of research: that is, engage with previous scholarship on the film/director in question, rather than relying exclusively on your own first-hand observations and class discussion.

*NOTE
selection of scenes for each postcard are from the movies

La Dolce Vita (Trevi Fountain)
Acattone (Jumping scene at the bridge)
Umberto D (Pantheon)

Each scene needs to discuss difference of Italy during the period the movie was recorded and present time, why it would be either possible to shot that scene again in the same location or wether it cant be shoot anymore, reasons why. Italy politic and economic reflection on each and impact in the character and again present time Italy. Meaning of location and monument selected. Find 2 sources for each movie and scene.

After reviewing the resources below, identify in your post three things you believe it is critical for first responders to know about regarding potential threats of disaster response work to their mental health. These can be of a preparatory and preventative or a post-event recovery nature or a combination of both as long as critically important which means essential for maintaining or restoring one’s mental health.

enlightenedThis dialog also serves as a collaborative idea sharing space for the Workshop for First Responders assignments due latter in the course as you are free to include in that work up to three ideas shared by classmates here that you might not have thought of (being sure, of course, to paraphrase and not copy).

Order instructions

In this module, we have outlined government policy toward import tariffs (taxes on imported goods as they enter a country), quotas (a limit on the quantity of a good that can be produced abroad and sold domestically), and restrictions (limitations on the quantity of goods imported/exported to a specific country). Trade can allow countries to use their national resources more efficiently, and it can allow industries and workers to be more productive. Trade may even allow countries to achieve higher living standards, and keep the cost of many everyday products low. Government regulation of trade has had a significant impact not only on global trade flows, but also on economic growth and prosperity. For this reason, it is useful to consider the main ways that governments have tended to regulate trade and, more recently, to deregulate it.

For this discussion activity, respond to the following prompts:

• Research one item that is internationally traded and outline how this product flows from one country to the next.
• Are any tariffs, quotas, or restrictions on this product being traded?
• Has this product ever been under an embargo? If so, why?
• Is there a distinct government policy for this product’s trade?
• Please use in text citations when stating facts (i.e. Indonesia is the largest supplier of coconuts) Swalbe, (2010).

Grading Rubric

This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a marketing plan and sales strategy, and a marketing budget. Note: You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment.
For the first six (6) months your company is in business—to give you time to perfect your product and to learn from actual customers—you will start marketing and selling in your own community, a radius of twenty-five (25) miles from where you live.

For most non-alcoholic beverages, marketing (as opposed to the actual product itself) is key to success. Cola drinks, for example, are fairly undifferentiated, as are many energy drinks, juices, bottled water, and the like. Companies producing these types of beverages differentiate themselves and attract market share through marketing and brand awareness—both of which are critical to success.
Section 1: Marketing Plan & Sales Strategy (MS Word or equivalent)
Write the three to five (4) page Marketing Plan & Sales Strategy section of your business plan, in which you:
Define your company’s target market.

Analyze the types of consumers who will be drinking your beverage in demographic terms (i.e., age, education level, income, gender, ethnic group, etc.). Support your analysis with actual data on the size of the demographic groups in your local community (nearby zip codes).
Outline the demographic information for your company specified on the worksheet in the course text (p. 107 | Demographic Description). Click here for help accessing a specific page number in your eBook.Hints: At American FactFinder (http://census.gov), you will find demographic information on potential consumers in your area. If you are selling through other businesses (such as grocery stores), indicate the number of those businesses in your local area. You will find information about such businesses in your local area at County Business Patterns (http://www.census.gov/econ/cbp/). Check Chapter 2 of Successful Business Plan for more research sources.Assess your company’s market competition.Use the factors listed in the course text graphic (p. 123 | Assess the Competition) to assess your company’s market competition.Defend your strategy to successfully compete against market leaders in your segment.Hints: For example, in the soft drink market, it is intimidating to try to compete against Coke and Pepsi. Newcomers in mature markets typically must pursue niche markets or even create new market categories, as Red Bull did with energy drinks.Defend your plan to differentiate yourself from the competition using the information detailed on the worksheet in the text (p. 131 | Market Share Distribution).Hints: Every business faces competition and the non-alcoholic beverage market is an especially crowded market.Clarify your company’s message using the information provided on the worksheet in the text (p. 160 | The Five F’s).Hints: Before you choose your marketing vehicles, you must determine the message you want to convey through those vehicles.Identify the marketing vehicles you plan to use to build your company’s brand. Justify the key reasons why they will be effective. Provide examples of other non-alcoholic beverage companies that use these tactics effectively.Hints: If you plan to use online marketing tactics, refer to the worksheet in the text (p.171 | Online Marketing Tactics) to aid your response. Remember that even if you’re selling through grocery stores you need to build your brand and social media is a major part of that in regard to beverages. Some of the marketing tactics that beverage companies use include: sampling in grocery stores, building a following on social media, sponsoring events, exhibiting at trade shows attended by retailers, and so on. You will use a combination of these tactics. For example, if you decide to give out samples in grocery stores, promote your sampling on your social media networks and those of the grocery store.
Hints: If you are planning to distribute through resellers, describe how you plan to reach them, for example, through industry trade shows or by establishing your own sales force. For information on trade shows, visit the Trade Show News Network (http://www.tsnn.com). You can exhibit or network at these shows.Format your assignment according to these formatting requirements:Cite the resources you have used to complete the exercise. Note: There is no minimum requirement for the number of resources used in the exercise.Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required page length.Section

2: Marketing Budget (MS Excel worksheets template)
Section 2 uses the “Business Plan Financials” MS Excel template (see: Course Required Files in Week 1). Use the “Business Plan Financials Guide” (see: Course Required Files in Week 1) to support your development of the Marketing Budget.
Complete the Marketing Budget worksheet for your company.
Hints: The goal of the marketing budget is to help you determine how much it will cost you to reach your market and achieve your sales goals.Hints: When filling out the “Marketing Budget” worksheet in the Excel spreadsheet:Begin in the current year and complete a marketing budget for the first year of your business. The information you enter in the marketing budget spreadsheet will flow through to your “Income Statement” in the Business Plan Financials.Leave the number at zero (0) for any marketing vehicles you do not intend to use.

Remember that all marketing activities involve costs. If social media represents a significant portion of your marketing, assume you will have cost of advertising and that should be reflected on your budget. Even if a social media site charges nothing to use it, you will need to use company resources to manage the site, pay someone to execute your social media marketing campaigns, and will most likely pay for ads on that site.
Do NOT leave the “Marketing Budget” blank, assuming you will not have any marketing costs.The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
Recommend effective business strategies based on an analysis of domestic and global operating environments, market dynamics, and internal capabilities.Analyze competitive positions including foreign market entry and the resulting impact on business strategy.Use technology and information resources to research issues in strategic management.Write clearly and concisely about strategic management using proper writing mechanics.

Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic/organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric.
