What is your impression of this tactic to fight the spread of the virus?

 

In the year, 2020 the Coronavirus uprooted and changed the lives of everyone. It has been the first true pandemic across the world in recent times. In an attempt to help fight the coronavirus or any future viruses that might develop across the world. There has been a trend to help fight the virus’s spread by looking at the mobile data of individual users who tested positive for the virus.

The idea is the government can look at the individual’s movement based on their cell phone to see where they went, when they were there, who they may have come in contact with as well. This seems to be an aggressive tool to help stop the spread of the virus and help individuals get tested who might have been exposed. Also, this is used to help people quarantine themselves since they might have been exposed and it will help them to stay away from people to protect others within the community.

Read the following Articles:

After reading the articles discuss:

  • What is your impression of this tactic to fight the spread of the virus?
  • Are you concerned about privacy or protection more?
  • Would you want to find out that you have been potentially exposed to the virus because of this process?
  • Does it make you feel safer that the government can track potential infections by this process and control the spread of the virus possibly?
  • Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing in the end?
  • Do you support your privacy being used in this manner to save the greater community?

Remember to respond to at least THREE of your classmates’ posts by Sunday evening.

You must make an initial post before you are able to view the posts of your peers. Initial posts must be made by Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. Answer the prompt and respond to at least three of your peers’ posts. Replies to your peers and answer all questions by Sunday at 11:59 p.m.

Response:

As you read your classmates’ postings, think of areas where you can expand on the subject, conduct more research to further explore the topic, or examine the subject through different lenses and perspectives.

Regarding your response to your classmates: Please highlight a new facet to build on what your classmate stated, add to the conversation, or find an alternative viewpoint and support your response with citations. It’s important to have more than “I agree” or “good point,” when responding!

A reminder about discussions at the Master’s level:

Try to complete your initial post early during the week and plan to continue dialogue with your classmates throughout the remainder of the week. Think of our online conversations as discussion in a traditional classroom. Posting your initial post and responses at the last moment would be similar to walking into a classroom discussion with 10 minutes left in the class. You would miss the issues covered by your classmates! Remember, the intent of our discussion is to take the conversation to the next level – the Master’s level of discussion.

In addition, posting early has its benefits. You have the opportunity to state your original thoughts without worrying that you are saying the same things that a classmate has already stated.  

Finally, please use academic citations from the library to support your statements. Don’t simply rely on Google!

More of the specifics for discussion grading can be found on the  “Specific Discussion Criteria” page.

Describe the key elements of a customer value proposition.

Describe the key elements of a customer value proposition. Next, explain points of parity as well as points of difference in value propositions. Pick a B-2-B company, do a little homework on the company and then take a shot writing out a value-proposition statement for this company.

Finally, evaluate this statement…”Marketing must begin to think about value propositions that go beyond the value of using the product or service being sold; marketers must begin to think about their value-propositions in upstream stages of organizational buying that illustrates how the company can help buyers long before they actually buy the product/service?”  Agree or disagree?  Can you think of any companies that do a good job helping customers long before they actually buy the product (thinking of a B-2-C example is fine here).

For the first summary assignment for ENG 111, we will have a little fun with summarizing.

We will summarize video you select from the provided videos. Each of the videos was an educational video, shown in classrooms many years ago. The films were selected because they feature outdated information or societal attitudes or obsolete technology. By virtue of being an educational video, these films were shown in schools; the videos we will see were targeted toward teenagers and older.

The videos to summarize are posted on a separate page. You must access one of those for this assignment to be accepted.
To summarize the videos, consider the following structure:

Paragraph one — Introduction: What did you watch? 

Objectively introduce the video, including its title, producer, and year of release. Also include an overview of the subject matter. Finally, include a thesis that includes three pieces of evidence to be used in your third paragraph to prove the information is obsolete or outdated.

Paragraph two — Summary: What was the film about? 

Again, objectively summarize the video. Answer the question above by describing the plot line of the video.

Paragraph three — Identifying: What was out of date in the video? 

Offer three instances of information in the video that is out of date or even obsolete. Consider exploring what kinds of appeals are used to persuade the audience and why they no longer work.

Paragraph four — Conclude: Where have we been?

Sum up what you have just said. What was the film you watched about? Restate your thesis. What examples did you use to prove that the film was outdated? What could one gain from watching this themselves?

“I STATEMENTS” OR THE PRONOUN “I” ARE NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THIS PIECE OF WRITING.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO REACT TO THE FILM OR SHARE YOUR OPINION — AT LEAST NOT OVERTLY.

Describe one advantage and disadvantage of the PESTEL analysis for strategic planning.

300-500 words

An external analysis of a company is another indicator for making strategic decisions. External factors are the general environment of an industry that strategic leaders most likely will not be able to influence. There are six external factors for a PESTEL analysis that influence all firms in a given industry. The PESTEL model groups these segments as: political, economic, sociocultural, technological, ecological and legal.

Review the following article:

Scanning the Environment: PESTEL Analysis

Explore the six PESTEL external factors: political, economic, sociocultural, technological, ecological, and legal.

Choose one industry (automotive, hospitality, manufacturing, high tech, etc.) and discuss the following with your peers:

  • Examine one of the six PESTEL factors in relation to your chosen industry. In your opinion, why do you believe this PESTEL factor is the most important to your chosen industry?
  • Describe one advantage and disadvantage of the PESTEL analysis for strategic planning.
  • If you were a manager in a global organization, how would you use the technological factor of innovation to gain a competitive advantage?
In your opinion, what was accomplished in World War I?

World War I was an unprecedented period in world history. World War I (“The Great War”) toppled empires, created new nations, and sparked tensions that would explode across future years. On the battlefield, gruesome modern weaponry wrecked an entire generation of young men. The United States entered the conflict in 1917 and was never again the same. The war heralded to the world the United States’ potential as a global military power, and, domestically, it advanced but then beat back American progressivism by unleashing vicious waves of repression. The war simultaneously stoked national pride and fueled disenchantments that burst Progressive Era hopes for the modern world. And it laid the groundwork for a global depression, a second world war, and an entire history of national, religious, and cultural conflict around the globe.You are required in this discussion to provide your own answers and then to review and note two of your colleagues posts for full credit. If you disagree, you can say so, but support your angle as well in any refutation or agreement therein.

  1. In your opinion, what was accomplished in World War I? Offer two examples to support your perspective and discuss.
  2. Could an all out World War like this occur in 2022? Why or why not and in what ways has the world changed since WWI that would allow or not allow something like this to happen?
  3.  What was the overall impact of the Treaty of Versailles? Posit how you would address the end of the war differently and what you would do to make sure something like this does not happen again in regard to the losing parties. Sufficient = INITIAL POST should contain 300 words, substantive and addresses the prompt. Each of the the required secondary posts and commentary should EACH be at least 150 words of relevant and substantial responses
