MUSIC26AC Homework

1. Listen to “Livery Stable Blues.” How should a group like the Original Dixieland Jazz Band be remembered as part of jazz history? In what ways would you frame the band and their first recording in relation to the racial dynamics of the tradition?

2. Listen to Louis Armstrong’s “Potato Head Blues” and create a “map” of its major moments or changes, so that someone could use it as a guide while listening. Use the guide made for “Jazz Me Blues” found in the Media Notes. Chart at least five elements, such as when solos come in, when the ensemble plays together, what instruments are featured at different times, etc.

3. Listen to “King Porter Stomp” and “In the Mood.” Describe the major contours of each piece in a couple of sentences each. Think about Ogren’s argument about the changes between Dixieland and Swing jazz. Do you agree with this? Why or why not? Use examples from one or both pieces to back up your claim4. Watch I’ll Be Glad When You’re Dead You Rascal You and consider the discourses around blackness jazz enabled. In what ways do you see the multiple ways jazz featured into the U.S. American imaginary portrayed?5. Given all of the reading and media this week, discuss what about jazz might have symbolized the coming of modernity to the U.S. to listeners of the 1920s. What does the sound of the music capture? How might it have depicted the major changes moving through U.S. society?6. List and describe three technological advances that impacted what was recorded as “jazz.”7. How does the black-white binary appear in the stories told in Forbidden City USA? Who spoke to this phenomenon and how did they navigate it? How does this relate to the distinction between genre and practice?8. In what ways do the model minority or exotic stereotypes of Asian Americans appear in the film? In what ways did the performers in the film stereotype other races or ethnicities? What might this say about racial projects?9. Drawing on Fracis Wong’s question, is Japanese swing U.S. American music? Argue for or against this point using evidence from the materials from this or past weeks.10. Are Asian Americans still silenced in the popular music industry? What about popular culture on a whole? What is similar or different today versus a century ago?

Step two:

Review the textbook’s chapter 12 (consideration) and chapter 13 (discharge) for information on the topic of accord and satisfaction.  The concepts and issues discussed are central to this assignment.

Step three:

Review the textbook’s chapter 4 on Courts and Alternative Dispute Resolution. According to the American Bar Association “relatively few lawsuits ever go through the full range of procedures and all the way to trial. Most civil cases are settled by mutual agreement between the parties. A dispute can be settled even before a suit is filed. Once a suit is filed, it can be settled before the trial begins, during the trial, while the jury is deliberating, or even after a verdict is rendered.” See ABA: How Courts Work.

Why not settle the dispute even before the lawsuit starts? What are the benefits of settling before the lawsuit begins? Explain.

A demand letter is the first step in settling a civil case. What is a demand letter and how might a demand letter be effective in reaching a settlement of this dispute before the case goes to court? Explain.

Step four:

Draft an effective demand letter to Home Improvements, Inc. on behalf of your client, Molly. Refer to the Nolo website, which has good instructions on how to write a demand letter. The instructions are free.

Step five:

Answer the following question: If Home Improvements ignores the demand letter and proceeds with the lawsuit against Molly what will be the result? Judgment for whom?  Explain using the IRAC method. (Hint: Don’t forget to include a discussion of the concept of unliquidated debt.)

DETAILED ASSIGNMENT

• The purpose of the case analysis is to present you with a typical scenario you will encounter in business at some point in your early career and to let you apply the concepts you’ve learned in class and/or from the book to analyze the issues facing a specific company (or person). For a good case analysis, you must closely examine the issues with which the company is confronted. A case analysis is not an essay or a report:

• Case = A statement of facts and reasons (figures, charts and graphs as well as data) used to support an argument.

  Analysis = A careful and methodical investigation of the component parts of a whole and their relationships in making up the whole. Requires critical thinking.

  You will probably need to read the case several times – once to grasp the overall picture of what is happening with the company and then several more times to discover and grasp the specific problem(s) that need to be addressed.

  Generally, “textbook driven” cases provide clear hints as to what to consider – typically in the form of questions to be answered. The questions may also provide the high-level background that offers both the direction your answer should take and potential sources of additional information. In the case of questions posed by a senior manager in the work environment, such as this case, the questions to be answered may be less clear and will require you to develop/consider additional questions – i.e. you must apply a significant degree of research and critical thinking to explore and articulate alternatives.
