Document Summary

Creation and evolution of the universe hesiod"s theogony. Theogony theo (god) + gone = birth of the gods comogony = birth of the world order: creation of the world. Elaborate hymn to zeus: how zeus comes into power and how he establishes himself as the everlasting ruler. Near eastern influence: eg: enuma elish/eic of creation. How the world/was passed down through the different generations of gods. The ancient greek idea of the universe (p. 63) Believed the world to be flat tartarus = the worst part of the underworld: underworld of the greeks = for everyone; good + bad. Dactylic hexameter repetition: allows composer to stress on a certain fact + lead up to next point formulae and epithets, characters have specific adjectives describing the characters. Zeus + mnemosyne (memory a titan ) = 9 muses. Signified that memory = very important in oral tradition. They usually dance around the alter of zeus in his honor.

Need a 150 word discussion response to the following discussion post.

Overpopulation of the planet is not something that we are at risk of. Over population is even considered a myth based on the work Rev. Thomas Malthus. Rev. Thomas Malthus was an English cleric and scholar who had many influences in the field of political economy and demography (UCMP Berkeley, 2016). Malthus believed that food production increased incrementally and people reproduce exponentially. Based on his calculations he estimated that he world would run out of food in 1890. This led him to suggest that it would be in the best interest of the world to get rid of the worst of the population. Then in 1968 Paul Ehrlich, who was an American biologist from Stanford university, took on the same argument of the consequences of population growth (Too Many People, Too Much Consumption, 2016). He believed that reckless human reproduction had overwhelmed the earth and there would be famine. This would result in the death of one fifth of the population by the end of the 1970âs.

However, based on the information from the U.S. Census, the worldâs population is 7,344,149,500 as of August 13, 2016 at 4:00pm (Iinternational Programs, 2016). We can take everyone in the world and fit them in the great state of Texas, which has a landmass of 268,820 square miles (7,494,271,488,000 square feet). If we can divide 7,494,271 square feet by 7,344,149,500, you get 1020.44 square feet per person. That means that each person can live comfortably in Texas in a plot the of land that is the size of a small apartment.

1. A medium-size city has proposed to build a greenway along a creek that flows through the
center of the city. The city wants to clear a strip about 50 feet wide and construct a paved path for bicycles and foot traffic (walkers and joggers). Proponents claim that it would be a highly desirable recreational facility for the community, while a very vocal and insistent group of opponents claims that it would degrade the environment and open properties along the creek to undesirable users and influences. Identify some specific positive and negative aspects of the proposal.

Would you be in favor of the proposal, if you lived in the city? Would it make a difference if you lived along the creek?

2. The main argument traditionally advanced in favor of zoning is that it protects property values. Do you believe this contention? If so, how does zoning protect property values? If you do not believe the contention, why not?

Q2: The Existence Threat of Traditional TV and The Revolution of Online Steaming

Pay and broadcast television, still the foundation of video entertainment at home in much of the world, is being eroded from two sides. At one end, people are watching videos free on large social platofrms like Facebook, Instagram, Youtube and Snapchat. Each of these platforms now claims billions if views a day. Free videos are supported by advertising which will begin to eat into the TV advertising market, currently worth $185bn. At the other end, people are consuming premium-quality video on subscription services such as Netflix, Amazon and Hulu in America and on many other streaming services around the world. Netflixâs 94m. subscribers watch the service for nearly two hours a day, and rising. Netflix and Amazon are amassing big user bases by charging a low subscription- $8 to $12 a month- and investing heavily in ad-free content. That spending spree is driving up the cost of producing quality television for everyone else. Thus internet economics is gradually strangling a well-established business model: cabel TV. Suppose right after your graduation from OU, you are hired by Fox channel and your friend is hired by Dish TV. What recommendations will you and your friend share with the respective senior managers to handle this existence threat?
