Dominik,
Your request to be excused from MindTap exercises and questions with which you disagree is denied.  You will be required to complete all of the work and to hopefully learn from your mistakes just like every other student in the class.

Frankly, you failed to heed any of the advice I sent you in my last reply.  Instead, you claimed my response was politically biased and also made a veiled threat to "expose my libelous treachery" to the Kodak company.

You even wrote:

"Perhaps this is a political bias issue, because I view the 1920's as a fundamental time in American history where people worked together to resolve their shortcomings in society."

This is not a political bias issue.  What is at issue is your very misguided understanding of the era.  Frankly, I am amazed and saddened that you can write these words after having studied the 1920's (in your textbook).  In fact, your persistence in this interpretation is a sign of an even bigger problem, given the fact that you watched the Bill Moyers' documentary "The Twenties" in order to complete the extra credit assignment.  The historical evidence presented by these sources largely contradicts your one-sided, overly optimistic point of view.








The advertisement text says, "And you can take them" it does NOT say, "And EVEN you, a woman, can take them." That addition to the advertisement is what you believe they meant based on your political opinion, but that is not what I believe they meant to convey, and "what I believe" is what the question asked. 

>>>>>>>>>>>> The actual text of the question is:  Imagine that you are an executive at Eastman Kodak Company. Based on this advertisement, which of the following qualities are you hoping the audience will identify with your product? 

Dominik, you keep repeating that the question asks "what I believe", but it does not.  You seem to think the phrase "imagine that you are an executive at Eastman Kodak Company (in the 1920's)" means "what Dominik believes in 2021".  That is simply incorrect.

The link you sent as evidence of "historical documentation" is broken.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

If you wish, however, I can contact Kodak directly, and let them know that colleges and professors are teaching that their company is steeped in sexism, against all evidence to the contrary, and destroying their reputation, and see if they have a formal statement they wish to make. 

>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dominik, your veiled threat here is just sad.

With regards to the advertisement of the woman driving the Cadillac, my observation of the woman driving was that she was wearing a headband and had long hair which was among the style for the 1920's as well as the cropped hair with a hat. Back then the headbands they used stretched around the skull of the head making the hair flair out from beneath the headband. The trendle is protruding down from the side of the headband. That is what I see. The blurred imagery makes it impossible to tell if it's a headband and hair, or if it's a hat with a scarf. I am inclined to think it's a headband, however I can always reach out to the Cadillac company and get the truth in that regard also. 

If you would like to have a zoom meeting about this, I would be ok with that. In the meantime, I would like permission to drop these  personal interpretation Mindtap exercises, without an adverse effect on my grade. Because they are clearly not historically or fact-based, but are instead merely biased interpretations which have no historical foundation.
