Your assignment is to prepare and submit a paper on the power of social media. Apart from the changes in the state of the world’s technology, this development is also an indication of the changes in people’s responsibilities. In recent years, social media has burst out into becoming a classification of online discourse in which people or “audiences” are enabled to create, to share, and network information or content to everyone in the world at a remarkably high-speed rate. There are various examples of social media: Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace to name a few. Owing to its accessibility and speed, social media is quickly shifting the public dialogue in the community and establishing trends and agenda in subject matters that range from economics and politics to fashion and entertainment. Seen this way, the influence of social media in shaping public opinion and relaying information continuously rises. Nevertheless, this development comes with it an array of corresponding conditions as the growing influence of social media gives the world audience new rights, responsibilities, and risks.

Ease of access to media does not mean everyone is allowed to do everything as they wish. Just like any other platform of information dissemination or any legal mode of enterprise, self-imposed limitations should be implemented. These are founded on the risks associated with social media (Thompson et al. 2011). Social Media allows the “creation and exchange of user-generated content” (Kaplan and Haenlin 2010). thus, the information that is created and relayed may extend from general or public to personal information. This presents a disturbing find in that social media is linked to the internet that is a public domain and the information shared, whether it is personal or public information may be shared without interception or obstruction.

In the corporate world, many of the senior financial executives believe that there are latent risks associated with social media (Thompson et al. 2011). Nevertheless, there are also those who believe that the risks involved will be compensated or, at least, counterbalanced by the benefits of engaging in social media. In a survey sponsored by the Grant Thornton LLP, it has found several most important social media risks: (1) disclosure of propriety information. (2) negative comments about the company. (3) exposure of personally identifiable information. (4) fraud. and (5) out-of-date information.

Confirmation Bias is  is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one’s preexisting beliefs or hypotheses, while giving disproportionately less consideration to alternative possibilities. This is a bias we all have regardless of how smart we may think we are.

The best way to avoid confirmation bias is to consider alternative possibilities and to actively seek information that would falsify or disconfirm statements we think are true. This is often a difficult and uncomfortable thing to do, but as philosophers we’re committed to discovering the truth and confirmation bias seriously hampers our efforts at doing so.

The purpose of this assignment is to:

  • Recognize how easy it is to be hampered by confirmation bias
  • Recognize confirmation bias as a serious threat to our ability to maximize the number of true beliefs we have.

Assignment Instructions:

1. Read David McRaney’s article “Confirmation Bias.”

2. Go to this website (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and try to solve the puzzle. Try at least one sequence of numbers and write down what sequences you tried in determining the answer to the puzzle.

3. Click the “I think I know it button” on the website and read the article.

4. Describe your results. Did you get it right? What sequences did you try? What does this exercise tell you about confirmation bias? Write at least one developed paragraph (about 100 words) in your response. Remember to use correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar.

ALSO THE PARAGRAPH MUST FOLLOWING EXACTLY:

1) Thoroughly addresses all parts of the question

2) Substantive. Answered the question in depth.

3) Extremely well organized, clear and concise throughout.

4) Mechanics reflect careful editing

5) NO plagiarism (it will be on turnitin), no MLA source

Week 08 Discussion – Most Unforgettable Person – Part 2

/in /by

Write a two-page character sketch based on the journal entry you just completed about your “Most Unforgettable Person” and post it to the discussion forum as an attached Word document.

Here is a suggested approach. (Feel free to come up with your own approach – or work out a new approach with your instructor.)

  1. Present your person by putting yourself into the sketch. In other words, use the approach that Palmer Hall uses in the first two paragraphs of Boatmen’s Dreams. (Only the first two paragraphs!) Example: “One day when my father took me fishing way out past the island into the deeper waters of Appalachicola Bay.” Palmer then goes on to show his father in action. That’s what you can do with your character.
  2. As you write the sketch, go to your journal and sift through the writing to find material for your sketch, especially from your 10 minutes of “free writing.” If you described the person’s physical traits and personality in your journal, use that too.
  3. Your whole sketch could revolve around a single memorable incident – or maybe around a time of your life.
  4. When you are finished, go back and reread and make corrections. Ask someone else to read your sketch and, as needed, insert their suggestions. Apply the checklist from your textbook to the sketch. (The checklist is in the section, “Interviewing Skills.”)

After you post your character sketch (as an attached Word document), click open and read the character sketch of one other student. Comment on the following:

  • How do the physical description, actions, and dialogue bring out the person’s personality?

I’m trying to learn for my Management class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

Part 1: Essay

Describe the financial crisis of 2007- 2009. What were the primary causes of this financial crisis?

Part 2:

1. Ira Schwab opens up a Schwab IRA and places $2,000 in his retirement account at the beginning of each year for 10 years. He believes the account will earn 5 percent interest per year, compounded quarterly. How much will he have in his retirement account in 10 years?

2. The city of Glendale borrows $48 million by issuing municipal bonds to help build the Arizona Cardinals football stadium. It plans to set up a sinking fund that will repay the loan at the end of 10 years. Assume a 4 percent interest rate per year. What should the city place into the fund at the end of each year to have $48 million in the account to pay back their bondholders?

Part 3:

Matthew is considering several possible compensation alternatives for services he has provided as a consultant:

Option A: Matthew could receive $8,000 today.

Option B: Matthew could receive $2,500 at the end of each of the next four years.

Option C: Matthew could receive $12,000 five years from now.

Required:

1. Calculate the present value for each option assuming that Matthew can earn 7 percent on any investment funds.

2. Which option results in the greatest financial benefit to Matthew?

3. If Matthew earns 10 percent, will that change your answer to # 2 above? Please explain.

Part 4:

Tom and Mary James just had a baby. They heard that the cost of providing a college education for this baby will be $100,000 in 18 years. Tom normally receives a Christmas bonus of $4,000 every year in the paycheck prior to Christmas. He read that a good stock mutual fund should pay him an average of 10 percent per year. Tom and Mary want to make sure their son has $100,000 for college. Consider each of the following questions.

a. How much does Tom have to invest in this mutual fund at the end of each year to have $100,000 in 18 years?

b. Tom’s father said he would provide for his grandson’s education. He puts $10,000 in a government bond that pays 3 percent interest. His dad said this should be enough. Do you agree?

c. If Mary has a savings account worth $50,000, how much must she withdraw from savings and set aside in this mutual fund to have the $100,000 for her son’s education in 18 years?

Part 5: Essay

Some suggest that a firm should seek to maximize the welfare of all its stakeholders, such as employees, customers and the community in which it operates. How would this objective conflict with the one of maximizing shareholder value? Do you believe such an objective is feasible?

Part 6:

Joe Downey is currently 65 years of age. He is currently drawing $20,000 a year out of his IRA. He expects to live to 100 and wants to know what he needs now to insure himself that he will be able to draw the $20,000 at the beginning of each year for the next 35 years. He believes the account will earn 6 percent compounded annually for the next 35 years. How much money does he need in his account today?

Complete 14 pages APA formatted article: Rugby House-ARP. Structurally, ARP consists of a senior group of directors which govern the activities of mid-level managers. It is typically a top-down hierarchy where decisions about how to provide community support and the internal activities of workers and volunteers are created. ARP consists of a centralised business structure where decision-making is generated in middle-layers and higher levels of management. The senior leadership coordinates the different programmes in use to provide alcohol treatment and housing services and these decisions outline the generic activities of lower-level support employees on a daily basis. Middle-level managers generally gather insight from the lower level support groups for any internal changes to programmes which are of concern, making the organisation more efficient internally.

ARP also provides training to its workers in the areas of alcohol prevention so that they are equipped with the social and psychological skills necessary to assist what are considered to be at-risk groups. In the process of providing alcohol treatment and housing support services, generic community counselling is necessary which suggests the importance of having a positive view on racial, age and gender diversity as well. These support workers also provide the majority of the prevention literature when those in need of treatment need statistics or encouragement.

What does all of this spell out? ARP seeks to be creative in its efforts to provide treatment to those in need by creating an environment where care is an organisation-wide initiative in order to assist people in becoming independent of reliance on alcohol. This is done through innovation, a company which appears to be focused on surpassing excellence in this area, and efforts to enhance community relationships.

The clients of ARP include certain at-risk groups and groups which are currently seeking alcohol treatment or support housing, including ex-military citizens. In many ways,&nbsp.the community itself is a stakeholder as the prevention of alcohol abuse is a community problem, thus they have a stake in how this organisation is managed and coordinated.&nbsp.
