Fake News Discussion

Discussion: Fake News

For this assignment I want you to find and article or claim that is going around social media or the news. I want you to copy it or link it into the discussion post. Once you have done that explain why you think it is fake news and how it fails. The responses should start a discussion. Remember it is about the standards that this module gave you and not just your opinion.

Conflict Resolution Discussion

Conflict Resolution Discussion

If you’ve never seen the show, I highly recommend. While the show is funny, it addresses a lot of conflict (even if it does miss the mark sometimes). Case in point, Jim. If you really break the character down, he’s not a great guy. If you’ve ever worked with someone who thought their pranks and poor treatment of others was normal, office banter, then you understand. What I love about this episode is that you finally get to see (and so does the character) how degrading and unproductive, let alone NOT funny, his jokes really are.

Now, before you come at me with my opinion, all the characters in this show have faults. It’s what makes this show so funny! We get to see people we work with through a lens that helps us (well, most of us) understand that certain behaviors are not acceptable at work.

Instructions

PLEASE GO TO YOUR PEACOCK TV LOGIN AND WATCH THE OFFICE S2:E21 CONFLICT RESOLUTION (链接到外部网站。)

When watching the episode (链接到外部网站。), please note how the office productivity pretty much stops for the day. You’ve already read about conflict and its impact on business, so think about the articles you’ve read in addition to this episode when commenting.

After watching the episode, please post a comment (minimum of 150 words) about its contents and respond to two other classmates’. I do expect to read insightful discussions, so please don’t reply with, “I really liked your comment. I feel the same way.”

Here are some talking points if you’re stumped:

    • Do you work in a place that has a strict policies and procedures for conflict management?
      • Many companies use mandatory arbitration to handle disputes. Does yours?
      • Are you aware of your company’s policies?
    • Do you work with someone who makes racist, sexist, and misogynistic comments only to say “I’m joking” when called out on it?
      • Does your company handle it or look the other way? How does that make you feel?
      • In my experience, restaurants are horrible places to work when it comes to sexism and power-distance.
        • Do you work in one? Have things changed?
    • Do you feel companies do enough to mitigate conflict in the workplace?
      • Personally, I don’t think so, but I worked in restaurants.
      • If you work somewhere you feel handles conflict well, what are some of their practices?

Communications with Angelina an Mexican American Discussion

Instructions:

  1. Identify an individual from another culture or co-culture to interview for this assignment. Do consider your classmates and their co-cultures; anyone in class you would like to interview?   (examples: ethnicity, race, religion, country of origin, age/generation, socioeconomic class, or groups with a common trait, belief, or hobby such as Cosplayer, Trekkie, or Nudist (I indicate these as hobbies only because they are not 24/7… I don’t think). The list are just some options, email your instructor if you need more ideas or feedback on your idea).
  2. Develop 8-10 interview questions that are designed to help you understand the culture. You are not required to ask all of the questions, but you should have a variety of questions to choose from. Your questions should be open ended questions- meaning they can’t be answered as “yes” or “no”.  (Consider some of the content you wrote about in your own Cultural Identity paper- i.e., Hofstede’s and Kluckhohn & Strodtbeck’s Value Orientations)
  3. Set a date and time for conducting your interview, and take notes in response to each question you ask.
  4. Write paper that addresses the paper guidelines listed below.

Paper Guidelines:

  1. 3-5 pages, double spaced, Arial or Times New Roman, 11 or 12 point font.
  2. Address the following components:
    • Name of the interviewee (or pseudonym if the interviewee prefers), and the culture or co-culture to which they belong.
    • Reasons why you chose the culture/co-culture and interviewee.
    • The expectations you had going into the interview, and whether they were met.
    • Summarize the responses given to your questions, and indicate how they illustrate concepts or theories that we’ve addressed this term.

College Storytelling Techniques of Malala Yousafzai Discussion

  •  College Storytelling Techniques of Malala Yousafzai Discussion
  • Building Reader Interest with Storytelling Techniques

    Narrative techniques can be an effective way to organize messages in many business communication situations, from recruiting and training employees to enticing investors and customers.

    You’ve been telling stories all your life; now it’s just a matter of adapting those techniques to business situations.

    Examples:

    • Television commercials and other advertisements
    • Career-related stories to entice talented people to join a firm
    • Stories to help investors see how an entrepreneur’s new ideas have the potential to affect people’s lives (and therefore generate lots of sales)
      • Cautionary tales

    Stories can

    • Help readers and listeners imagine themselves living through the experience of the person in the story
    • “Put knowledge into a framework that is more lifelike, more true to our day-to-day existence” (Chip Heath and Dan Heath)
      • Demonstrate cause-and-effect relationships in a compelling fashion

    A classic story has three basic parts:

    • The beginning of the story presents someone with whom the audience can identify in some way, and this person has a dream to pursue or a problem to solve.
    • The middle of the story shows this character taking action and making decisions as he or she pursues the goal or tries to solve the problem.
      • The end of the story resolves the “hero’s” quest and usually offers a lesson to be learned about the outcome as well.

    By the way, even though these are “stories,” these must not be made-up tales.

    Consider adding an element of storytelling whenever your main idea involves the opportunity to

    • Inspire
    • Persuade
    • Teach
      • Warn

    In addition to its important communication function, storytelling can also serve as a means of strategic business analysis.

    Your assignment is to tell a story to us the readers following the outline is given above. You have two options you can record it via with your phone or computer to actually tell the story to us via video or you can write out the story as if you do not have a video option to use you can write the story out. Since this is a story I will not require this assignment to be in APA format but I do expect good well written academic writing. Make sure to spell check your documents and review for errors. I am not giving a specific length of time for the video or a length for the written story but please make sure this is a good well thought out story that integrates into the format for storytelling. Most of all have fun and be creative great storytellers can reach large audiences.

    Here is an example of some great Storytelling

Implement Security Measures Discussion

Implement Security Measures Discussion

Many business environments have both visible and invisible physical security controls. You see them at the post office, at the corner store, and in certain areas of your own computing environment. They are so pervasive that some people choose where they live based on their presence, as in gated access communities or secure apartment complexes. Alison is a security analyst for a major technology corporation that specializes in data management. This company includes an in house security staff (guards, administrators, and so on) that is capable of handling physical security breaches. Brad experienced an intrusion—into his personal vehicle in the company parking lot. He asks Alison whether she observed or recorded anyone breaking into and entering his vehicle, but this is a personal item and not a company possession, and she has no control or regulation over damage to employee assets. This is understandably unnerving for Brad, but he understands that she’s protecting the business and not his belongings.

When or where would you think it would be necessary to implement security measures for both?
