Audio Visual Presentation: (Read Carefully)

/in /by

In this Assignment, you will do some research regarding a product or service or an environmental initiative. Then, you will create an original presentation following the instructions below. Follow the rubric to ensure a passing grade and use the example PPT as a guide. You will need a minimum of 4 references for this assignment.

Checklist:

1) Prepare a PowerPoint presentation with audio (I will do the audio part after the PPT is completed) no fewer than 12 and no more than 15 slides with speaker notes (THIS IS A MUST), and 3–4 bulleted points per slide, summarizing either:

An improvement to an existing product or service you have envisioned in the role of a product specialist at a company. You will present to the parent company’s marketing and sales department manager that produces the product or service. 

OR 

An environmental initiative you would like to propose to your local town council for consideration. It can concern air quality, waste recycling, water quality, mitigation of embankments or lake areas to prevent floods, etc. 

2) Make sure that your recorded audio explanation is clear and concise, such that the listener has sufficient information to initially approve your proposal. 

3) Record the audio portion presenting your PowerPoint and include speaker notes below each slide in the notes section. Make sure your audio portion is not merely a reading of the slide bulleted points. Once again, I will complete this step.

MODERN POLITICAL THEORY FINAL WRITING ASSIGNMENT

/in /by

Write a 1,500-1,900-word double-spaced essay on one of the following options and make sure to answer all parts of the question:

  • Beginning with thinkers such as Thomas Hobbes, modern political and social thought has been preoccupied with the problems of material existence, from the struggle for mere survival to the pursuit of earthly comforts. This is perhaps most evident in the primacy accorded to property in explaining and justifying political relations.

Compare and contrast the ways that John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Karl Marx understand the role of property in explaining politics. In particular, discuss how each thinker uses the concept of property to explain 1) various forms of inequality, 2) the sources of conflict in society, and 3) the main purposes or aims of government (legitimate or not).

  • The problem of violence is a pervasive theme in modern political thought. Even though most political thinkers seek to minimize if not eliminate violence in politics, some political thinkers do advocate the use of violence under certain conditions. How do John Locke and Karl Marx view the role of violence in politics?

In answering this question, 1) discuss how Locke and Marx describe the various sources of violence in politics (whether legitimate or not), 2) explain how they think that violence contributes to political change, and 3) explain under what conditions, if any, they think the use of violence is justified.

  • One of the most vexing issues in political thought concerns the problem of political obligation. Specifically, political thinkers have puzzled over how easily the “many” are governed by the “few.” What explanations have modern thinkers given for why it is so easy for the few to rule the many? Answer this question with reference to at least two of the following thinkers: John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Karl Marx.

Homework: Assessing Security Culture

/in /by

 

This week we learned about security culture and how to promote it within organizations.

It’s important that all employees are aware of common security risks and treat security seriously. The majority of cyberattacks aim to exploit human weaknesses with methods like phishing.

For this reason, people are most often the weakest link in an organization’s security defenses.

Scenario

  • Employees at SilverCorp are increasingly using their own personal devices for company work.
     
  • Specifically, over half of all employees check their work email and communications via Slack on their personal mobile phones.
     
  • Another 25% of employees are doing other work-related activities using work accounts and work-related applications on their personal phone.
     
  • Allowing sensitive work information to be shared on employees’ personal devices has a number of security implications.
     
  • You must research these security risks and use the security culture framework to develop a plan to mitigate the concerns.
     

Instructions

Compose the answers to the following four steps on Word Document.

Step 1: Measure and Set Goals

Answer the following questions:

  1. Using outside research, indicate the potential security risks of allowing employees to access work information on their personal devices. Identify at least three potential attacks that can be carried out.
     
  2. Based on the above scenario, what is the preferred employee behavior?
     

    • For example, if employees were downloading suspicious email attachments, the preferred behavior would be that employees only download attachments from trusted sources.
  3. What methods would you use to measure how often employees are currently not behaving according to the preferred behavior?
     

    • For example, conduct a survey to see how often people download email attachments from unknown senders.
  4. What is the goal that you would like the organization to reach regarding this behavior?
     

    • For example, to have less than 5% of employees downloading suspicious email attachments.

Step 2: Involve the Right People

Now that you have a goal in mind, who needs to be involved?

  • Indicate at least five employees or departments that need to be involved. For each person or department, indicate in 2-3 sentences what their role and responsibilities will be.

Step 3: Training Plan

Training is part of any security culture framework plan. How will you train your employees on this security concern? In one page, indicate the following:

  • How frequently will you run training? What format will it take? (i.e. in-person, online, a combination of both)
     
  • What topics will you cover in your training and why? (This should be the bulk of the deliverable.)
     
  • After you’ve run your training, how will you measure its effectiveness?
     

This portion will require additional outside research on the topic so that you can lay out a clear and thorough training agenda.

Social Media Perception

Our choices of social media shape our perceptions of events, issues, and people. Cultural memberships influence the content of digital and online communication. Social media have altered how we perceive time and space. People tend to feel anonymous online, even when they have a name associated with their avatar. On the internet, computer mediated conversations lack body language, voice intonation, and other important nonverbal elements. Without these features, people are compelled to fill in the gaps with assumptions about the nonverbal elements.

For some reason, people become much more sensitive when they’re online, and they tend to blow things entirely out of proportion—for example, taking a couple of sentences originally meant to be humorous or sarcastic entirely the wrong way. It’s even worse if you’ve had a bad day and you’ve decided that “no one likes you” (we’ve all had those moments); you’re much more susceptible to misunderstanding messages. Once that happens, everything can go downhill quickly. Instead of asking for clarification (“You were kidding, weren’t you?”) or just ignoring it, many people—forgetting that they’re dealing with another human being on the other end—decide to defend themselves and tell the originator of the offending message exactly what they think of him or her. This outcome is what’s known in the business as a flame. If both sides begin insulting each other, it’s called a flame war (kind of like fighting fire with fire). These digital battles often erupt in “public” and can sometimes be very entertaining to the lurkers.”

Read the article “The Secret Cause of Flame Wars” to get started on this topic.

Assignment Details:

·  Create a 5 – 10 slide PowerPoint Presentation with audio. Add your own audio recordings to each slide.

·  Include a title slide (with your name and introduce the topic you’ll be sharing in the presentation).

·  Then include slides and describe a situation online where you witnessed trolling and flaming. What was the situation? How were the comments handled?

·  Do you think this same situation would have happened in a face-to-face environment? Why or why not?

·  How can situations like this be minimized? Please use the terms for your text about social media and nonverbal and guidelines for improving nonverbal communication found in Chapter 5 to respond to this question.

·  Your audio PowerPoint presentation should be 3-5 minutes in length, citing specific examples and providing detailed analysis incorporating reading and textbook material. If outside sources are used, proper citation of the source should be included at the end of the PowerPoint on a reference slide.

Tip: 3 – 5 minutes of an audio presentation is roughly equal 600 to 750 words.

To add audio in PowerPoint go to the top INSERT tab and to the right under Media you’ll see “Audio” where you can record your voice for the presentation.

wk5 Resume and Common Asked Questions

/in /by

 

Resume and Commonly Asked Questions

Please answer both parts of the question:

Part 1

Create a cover letter and resume for yourself for a job you would like to have. Please do not include personal information (such as current salary or social security number). Tailor the resume to fit the career position you are trying to secure. Both the cover letter and resume should be one page each and formatted as if they were going to a potential employer. Submit your work in the form of a WORD Document, placing the cover letter and the resume in the same document with a page break inserted between them. Once you have completed Part 1, complete Part 2 targeting the same career position.

Part 2

Activity prepared by Private Industry Council of Lehigh Valley, Inc., Allentown, Pa

Research has indicated that some questions are commonly asked during employment interviews. Fifteen of the most common questions are listed here. Read the question and write notes you might use in giving answers to the interviewer. Pay attention to the tips, which are intended to guide your answers. This activity will help prepare you for formal and informal job interviews.

  1. What are your short-range goals? (Tip: What kind of job are you looking for?)
  2. Where do you want to be five years from now? (Tip: Talk about how you would prepare yourself for future jobs in the company.)
  3. What special skills do you have? (Tip: Talk about skills you would use in this job.)
  4. What kind of job are you most interested in? (Tip: Explain how your interests will help you do a good job.)
  5. What characteristics do you feel are most important for this job? (Tip: Talk about the two or three positive characteristics you would use most often in this job: leadership, work under pressure, and so forth.)
  6. What is your greatest strength? Why do you think you can do this job better than anyone else? (Tip: Pick a strength that best fits the job.)

  11. 11. What kind of recommendation do you think you’ll get from your previous employer?

    (Tip: Excellent, good—tell why. If you know for sure that you’d get a poor recommendation, don’t be afraid to tell why, but follow up with a positive comment. Don’t ever badmouth a previous employer.)

  12. How do you feel about overtime? (Tip: If this question is asked, you know that there probably are overtime requirements. If you can and want to work overtime, answer enthusiastically. Don’t answer, “Well, if I have to.”)
  13. How long would you stay with us? (Tip: Be positive. Say something such as, “I look at this opportunity as the beginning of a permanent relationship.”)
  14. Why should we hire you? (Tip: Give a summary of your most important qualifications and interests. Be enthusiastic.)
