Develop a multimedia presentation in which you analyze three creative works from three separate disciplines in the humanities. You will need to select works that share

ntroduction:

“Knowledgeable interaction with works of art makes life better: We see more of what can be seen, and we hear more of what can be heard. Our entire existence grows

richer and deeper.” (Sporre, 2009, p. 2).

From your studies, you have seen how culture, societal norms, belief systems, and past experiences affect the way people view the world. Learning about these

differences in perspective helps us to have a better understanding of the overall human experience. Whether analytical skills are applied to a task at work, or a

humanistic point of view enables us to grasp an issue from another angle, these methods of looking at the world help us become more aware of our perceptions and

provide a deeper and more meaningful existence.

In this task, you will analyze and interpret three creative works from three separate disciplines of the humanities using methods of subjective and objective analysis.

Objective statements are based on simple observations and concrete information. Subjective statements are based on personal opinions, judgments, and feelings. These

standard methods of analysis will enable you to critically view and interpret works from the humanities. You will use analytical and critical thinking skills to assess

how meaning is constructed and imparted to a viewer or audience and will communicate your thoughts in a multimedia presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote). While the

content of your presentation will focus on analyzing, interpreting, comparing, and contrasting three creative works from separate disciplines, your overarching goal

will be to explain how the three works you analyze demonstrate the value of the humanities in meaningful ways.

Background:

Develop a multimedia presentation in which you analyze three creative works from three separate disciplines in the humanities. You will need to select works that share

a common theme. This theme must relate to a profession within your field of study at WGU. You will share with your audience how being knowledgeable about the

humanities and your selected theme is valuable in regards to this profession.

First you must choose one literary work from the given list below. Choose a literary work that has a theme that resonates with you and consider how this theme connects

with your chosen profession. Every profession within your field of study at WGU (Business, IT, Nursing or Teaching) will have humanistic considerations. For example, a

civil rights lawyer may be concerned with the theme of freedom, a firefighter with determination, a social worker with compassion, or an engineer with integrity. It is

the intent of this task to explore the major themes of the humanities and their relevance to our professional lives.
