Hugo Crosthwaite is a local artist. Raised in Rosarito, B.C., Mexico, just an hour south of us! He’s also a San Diego State Alumni, where many of you may end up transferring to (and also my alma mater). As a San Diegan I feel honored to know Hugo personally and to have his incredible work draw much needed attention to our border region and the strife that so many individuals endure because of the dangerous conditions and uncertain futures that are faced here in our very own backyard.

Hugo created a stop animation film based on his drawings as seen and described below. He won a very prestigious Portraiture award from the Smithsonian just last month.

Washington Post excerpt: “The title of this year’s winning work, by Hugo Crosthwaite, tells us the name of the person represented in the artist’s three-minute stop-motion animation of black-and-white drawings. It is “A Portrait of Berenice Sarmiento Chávez,” a young woman from Tijuana, Mexico, who is seeking a better life in the United States. Her face emerges from a blank space, like a piece of paper or canvas, and then we watch as her body is sketched in, as though she’s materialized from nothing. In a series of brief vignettes, we learn about the danger that she, like other migrants, has faced, including violence and sexual harassment.”

Read the following two excerpts from the readings in your textbook Arts and Culture: An Introduction to the Humanities and answer the question below.

Excerpt from Homer’s The Odyssey: pages 72-76

Excerpt from Beowulf: pages 374-376

Both of these readings feature a hero who reflects the ideals of his culture, in this case Ancient Greek civilization and Danish civilization, respectively. These characters are two of the most famous heroes in all of literature. Compare and contrast these figures as they reflect the tenets of their people and then link them to today’s concept of the “hero” or “heroic actions.” Are there any similarities to today’s concepts of heroism? The time span between these works is enormous, but do the basic human ideas ever truly age? Discuss this topic, using specific illustrations from the stories for support. It is a requirement for this paper that you use a minimum of one passage from each of the selected excerpts for illustration and support of your central argument. Make sure that you use in-text citations for your chosen passages.

Suggested Paper Length: 2 to 3 word-processed pages, double spaced

PLEASE USE IN-TEXT CITATIONDiscussion: Organizational Strategic Goals

It is becoming increasingly important for organizations to demonstrate that they are of significant public value. This requires them to have clearly defined short-term and long-term strategic goals. As a current or future leader and manager, it is essential that you are not only able to help your organization develop these goals, but you must also help create strategies for meeting them. In this Discussion, you consider strategies for prioritizing and meeting short-term and long-term goals for the organization that you selected for your Final Project.By Day 3

Post an explanation of strategies that you might use to define, prioritize, and meet short-term goals (1–4 years) for the organization that you selected for your Final Project. Include how the goals would support flexibility in an ever-evolving world. Then with a futurist context in mind, explain strategies that you might use to define, prioritize, and meet your organization’s long-term goals (15–20 years).
