This module provides abundant examples of how humanities influence creative expression. Everything not found in nature makes up our culture, and all of those cultural artifacts are touched by humanities. Everything we encounter that is made by humans is both part of our culture and part of human expression. This assignment invites you to consider some of the many ways the humanities have shaped creative expression.
Instructions: Create a PowerPoint or Prezi presentation by performing the following:
1. Provide eight examples of ways that the humanities influence creative expression.
2. Cover four or more branches of the humanities (i.e., not all examples of musicians or authors).
3. Each example should have its own slide with a clear, appropriate image and a brief explanation of how that example has been impacted by humanities (example: a slide featuring an image representing the movie Lord of the Rings with a sentence stating “The film LOTR incorporates aspects of the human condition such as discrimination, despair, courage, the feeling of triumph, happiness, internal mental scarring, and loss.”).
4. Include a title slide.
5. Include a reference slide with links to your resources.
6. Proofread your work for spelling and grammar.
Examples of ways that the humanities influence creative expression can be traced in social problems, gender issues, history, among others. Human sciences can influence creative expression through: a Social problems: Many artistic, literary and musical productions have been formed as social criticisms, emphasizing a problem that society faces and that needs to be solved, but is often neglected. Diverse cultural influences often lead to innovative and experimental forms of creative expression that challenge dominant norms and push the boundaries of what is possible.
The audit sub processes, particularly in planning and field work, include contingencies such as business type, employee skill level, applicable laws, available audit workforce, available technology and systems, and deadline.
Daft (201) in his book wrote that contingency means one thing depends on other things and Contingency theory means: it depends. Audit functions are task-oriented and can be loosely structured. The functions also can vary considerably, depending on the area of a company under audit and the type of business model, so auditors must carefully manage their inspections and take variables into account to get the job done. The contingency theory also can be applied to an audit team‘s structure. Typically, audit team managers receive audit projects (Daft, 2010). They then create ad hoc audit teams for the projects, selecting auditors based on expertise and experience in the subject areas, and on auditor availability, all of which add up to contingencies for any given audit project. Audit teams use a mix of structure and contingency to get the output rolling quickly.
2.2.3 Stakeholder Theory
The stakeholder theory proposed by Freeman R. Edward (Freeman, 2004) is a theory of organisational management and business ethics that addresses morals and values in managing an organization. Stakeholder theory takes into account a wider group of constituents rather than focusing on shareholders. A consequence of focusing on shareholders is that the maintenance or enhancement of shareholders’ value is paramount whereas when a wider stakeholder group such as employees, providers of credit, customers, suppliers, government and the local community is taken into account the overriding focus on shareholder value become less self-evident.
Nonetheless many companies do strive to maximize shareholders value whilst at the same trying to take into account the interests of the wider stakeholder group (Kay & Silberston, 1995). One rationale for effectively privileging shareholders over other stakeholders is that they are recipients of the residual free cash flow (being the profits remaining once other stakeholders such as loan creditors have been paid) (Kay & Silberston, 1995). This means that the shareholders have vested interest in trying to ensure that resources are used to maximum effect, which in turn should be to the benefit of the society.
