Choose a poem from Week 3 and write a thesis-driven essay in which you discuss what we can understand about the experience of Black Americans in the United States by reading both the poem and August Wilsons Fences together.

In other words, how has the experience of Black Americans been portrayed in literaturein this case, Wilson’s play, and one of the assigned poemsand what do we gain by reading these literary works together? You are welcome to incorporate any of the assigned articles we’ve read, but it is not required; your primary evidence for the interpretations you offer should be from the literary works themselves. This means you need to quote and cite from whichever poem you choose and from the play.

Methods and Tools for Software Change Management
Change management is an important aspect of Software Engineering. This assignment provides the opportunity for you to explore the Methods and Tools for Software Change Management currently used in the software industry. It should be carried out in groups of two smaller groups (i.e., two OMMS project group). The outcome of your research should be delivered as a 20 minutes presentation, which should provide a “lesson” on this subject matter to IT/Computer Science/Software Engineering undergraduate and Master students. The presentation should
introduce the importance and challenges of software change management, with a focus on human factors and requirement change management;
provide an overview of change management best practices in general and requirement change management in particular (reference at least the CMM and SWBOK);
outline a simple requirement change management process (key activities, inputs, outputs, tools, and measurements) for dealing with change requests. Demonstrate its application to your group project;

The presentation is to be structured and assessed as follows:
1. Introduction (importance and challenges of software change management) (10)
2. Best Practices (15)
3. Change management process and application to managing OMMS change requests (30)
4. Configuration management and application with using GitHub for version control and concurrent development (30)
5. Conclusion and References (5)
Overall quality (including structure, clarity, and the presence of engagement elements) (5)
Assessment of two other group presentations (5)
You are advised to reference the relevant sections in the CMM or CMMI process framework, SWBOK guide, as well as other bibliographical references (other than the textbook and lecture slides). The references can provide support material or further information.
You are to give a 20 minutes presentation to your topic coordinator and two other groups. There will be a Q&A time afterwards. The presentations will be scheduled in weeks 10 and 11, i.e., you should be ready by the end of week 9. A roster will be made available in week 9. An early start with information gathering and drafting is strongly encouraged.
There is an immense amount of material on this topic available. You only need to source enough material to feel confident that you have the appropriate amount of material for the purpose of this assignment.
Each group must ensure that the report is in their own words and any material directly sourced from the work of others is properly acknowledged.
3. Assessment
Quality will be the deciding factor. The assignment will be marked on technical content, style, structure, quality of presentation/explanation and where appropriate, critical judgements (and their justifications).
The assignment will be marked out of 100 as indicated in the presentation structure. It is worth 10% of the final total assessment of this topic. Based on individual contribution and quality of presentation, a group members result may be below or above the group mark.

Summarize your country’s official position regarding the current situation in Syria. Explain why.

A complete answer requires thoughtful consideration from your country’s perspective augmented by appropriate supporting evidence. Ideas to consider: sovereignty, human rights, humanitarian aid, refugees and migration crisis, weapons proliferation, right of self-determination, war crimes, crimes against humanity, terrorism, etc.Part B: Background Guide Questions
What solution(s) does your country support? Why? Thoughtfully consider three of the following questions from the Syrian background guide
(I attachted this file- you will focus on mostly 17-28)
How can humanitarian aid be carefully delivered to those in need within Syria, as animosity between groups in the region remains stable in its instability, or even escalates past what has been observed so far?Could the UNSC consider referring the situation in Syria to the ICC, as is the Security Councils right if it so chooses to exercise it?
There is also the possibility of referring organizations such as ISIL and Al-Nusra to the Court; however bear in mind that this process is debatable, as only focusing on selected groups instead of the whole situation may lead to disputes as to what groups should be referred to the ICC.Should a UN intervention occur in Syria and, were it to occur, how would the organization of the intervention take place and what would its primary focus be?
Stemming from this, what main groups, if any, should be targeted and how should different groups be targeted by the UNSC?
Consider Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations in assessing this question, and remember that Chapter VI is the preferred means of reaction in any international conflict, especially one in which many international players are involved.What steps can the UNSC take in order to better implement the Six-Point Plan with more effective results than those that have so far been observed? Reviewing Resolution 2042, Resolution 2254, and Resolution 2268 is paramount in considering established guidelines and how they can be modified in future resolutions during the meeting of the Security Council later in February 2017.Does the use of chemical weapons impact the UNSCs decision to trigger Chapter VII, as it said it would in Resolution 2118, if further incidents were to occur? Dwell on the importance of the response to this violation and how strong said response should be.
Moreover, how would this violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and Resolution 2118 be addressed after the resolving of the conflict, and what parties can and/or should be deemed responsible for the breach of international laws related to the use of chemical weapons?
How can political processes take place in the Syrian Arab Republic in ensuring a democratic regime be in power in the state, and in the upholding of international law?

How do Maslows Hierarchy of Needs and Herzbergs Two-Factor Theory explain your own and other employees motivation?

How can employees remain highly motivated when telecommuting? What can they do to motivate themselves? What can the company do to motivate telecommuting employees? Will you become a telecommuter? Why or why not? Your blog entry should be the equivalent of a 4- to 5-page paper. Also, be sure to use in-text citations and a reference list. For administrative purposes, please add a title page so that your assignment can be readily identified. Upload your assignment to the Case 2 Dropbox. Be sure to review your TurnItIn Originality report. If the score is over 20%, you may not be writing in your own words and you will need to contact your professor and arrange to revise and resubmit your assignment.
