A controversial issue in the field of Greek archaeology is the value of Greek art. Works like the marble copy of the Doryphoros in the MIA are very expensive ($2.2 million in 1986), and with the attribution of vases to named artists (either real or made-up names), vases by artists such as Exekias and Euphronios have been studied, collected, and purchased in the same manner as paintings by Monet and Picasso. Some scholars, notably Michael Vickers and David Gill, claim that ancient pottery had very little value. A few, such as John Boardman and Robert Cook, argue otherwise, and your reading in this unit attempts to use what data we have to suggest some less rhetorical answers. For this paper, please read the articles in the folder as well as the assigned reading for the module: (I will upload additional files later in my account.) please consider the follow : Summarize the arguments and conclusion of Vickers and Gill, and illustrate the value they might assign to two or more of the works of different media in your textbook. Summarize the rebuttals by Boardman and Cook. Do you find them persuasive? Using the evidence you have accumulated, speculate on what value some of the vases discussed by Langridge-Noti, Tsingarida, and Volioti might have been worth in the ancient world, taking into account their findspots and contexts. Be sure to make specific references to the readings, using the style: author, year, page number(s) [for example Younger & Rehak 2009, 45].

In this section of your assignment it is expected that you identify the key issues associated with OBHRM, from the perspective of the employer. Review of appropriate academic literature (30% of marks = approximately 950 words). In order to build knowledge it is important that you access a range of relevant resources. A literature review is concerned with judging the merit or otherwise of a body of research that addresses a research question. A further definition is In writing the literature review, the purpose is to convey to the reader what knowledge and ideas have been established on a topic, and what their strengths and weaknesses are. The literature review must be defined by a guiding concept (eg. your research objective, the problem or issue you are discussing, or your argumentative thesis). It is not just a descriptive list of the material available, or a set of summaries. Analysis and Discussion (35% of marks = approximately 1150 words). Having reviewed relevant literature on OBHRM, as per earlier section, it should be possible to carry out an analysis and discussion. In this section you will be identifying key challenges for employers and exploring ways of overcoming these. Conclusions and recommendations (15% of marks = approximately 550 words).

Included are measures for consumer credit (ConsCredit), inflation measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the Federal Funds rate, GDP, the broad stock market (S&P 500), and M1and M2 data are included for years from 2002-2017, which means 15 years of changes will exist. The data for monetary aggregates (M1 and M2) are in $Billions for the US data available at the Federal Reserve website. http://www.federalreserve.gov/datadownload/, http://research.stlouisfed.org,
Compute the rate of change in: M1, M2, S&P 500, and ConsCredit. That is, compute the year-to-year changes in the growth rates of these variables.
1. Calculate the year-to-year changes in the Federal funds rate.
2. Compute the average growth rate or average year-to-year change for each of the variables from your calculations in (1) and (2).
3. Create a correlation matrix using the results from (1) and (2). (In Excel, go to Tools>Data Analysis>Correlation.)
4. Using the correlation matrix, discuss the relationships between:
a. The rates of change in M1, M2, and the yearly changes in inflation.
b. The year-to-year changes in the Fed Funds rate and CPI.
c. Consumer credit to the rate of change in M2 and the growth rate of GDP.
d. The rate of change in M2 and the growth rate of the S&P 500 index.
5. Graph the growth rates of the variables and discuss noticeable time trends.
6. Apply OLS regression with money supply measures and inflation. (use money supply measures as explanatory variables) Comment on the relationship that you find. Is it as expected?

Comments may be included on the spreadsheet or on a separate sheet. Example of discussion between economic variables:
The Fed Funds rate and Inflation: Suppose that the correlation between these two variables were negative. As we have learned this semester, the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve has shifted from a goal of full employment to a goal of low price inflation combined with sustainable economic growth. Thus, as inflation increases, threatening economic growth, the Fed raises the Fed Funds rate to curtail and prevent higher inflation. So, it should be expected that as the Fed Funds rate is raised, economic growth will slow and inflation will decrease.

The cultures must be approved by the professor. Students will compare and contrast similarities and differences in cultural communication. Papers must be 6-8 pages, double-spaced, using 12-point font. Papers require APA style.

Currently there are some other professions that are covered under OHIP. There are outside sources you may consult on this issue. Like most good discussion papers you should consider taking the approach of a formal essay. Formal essays typically begin with an argument or position on the topic being discussed (called a thesis). The rest of the paper is the presentation of evidence in support of this position, and finally a conclusion reiterating the thesis and reason for this argument. Keep in mind that your position or argument is irrelevant you may be for one position, or another, or both, or neither. What we are looking for is the sophistication of the defence of your argument.An alternate approach may be are view of the current zeitgeist (the general intellectual, moral, and cultural climate) on this topic. This would definitely involve a comparison of past views (including the reading assignment) and current views (other, or outside, sources) on the topic. Keep in mind you only have 3-4 pages to complete your paper.
