1. Melissa:

Some people may believe that developing a portfolio throughout a program creates a hassle for them. I personally believe it to be very beneficial for all students. A benefit of developing a portfolio is that it demonstrates growth throughout the program of study. It displays how a student might have started off rough in the beginning of the program but managed to gain control at the completion of the program. When a student sees the progress and quality of the assignments, it makes the program all worth it. Maintaining a portfolio keeps up with assignments that are very essential. This allows for students to go through the portfolio and look over past assignments. Taking a look at past assignments will aid the students in future assignments as well. Also, a portfolio demonstrates how well students are able to retain the information taught to them in the different courses. Another benefit of developing a portfolio is self evaluations. Self evaluations allow the students to focus on what type of students they are and what type of students they aspire to become throughout the program. A portfolio is beneficial because it demonstrates a reminder of the achievements that were accomplished throughout the program. Every student wants to be reminded of the great work that he or she has done. It gives the students the feeling of success. Being a well organized student is another benefit in developing a portfolio because it is very important and aids in the successful completion of the program of study. Portfolios are essential to being a student and every student needs to develop one.

2. Jacob: A professional portfolio provides a space where I can plan and think in-depth on my career. It also helps me to identify my strengths and find ways to build on those. When I develop the portfolio, it will create a sense of achievement, builds self- confidence provides an opportunity to conduct an in-depth self- evaluation, and develops skills of reflection. I think of five challenges of developing a good portfolio that may arise for me. I do not want my portfolio to become a paper trail. Second, controlling and assembling the portfolio is time-consuming. Third, trying to find a format can be complicated. Fouth, the portfolio can create an atomistic approach.

Last but not least, the portfolio can focus on the functional aspects of practice without looking at the big picture. I plan to overcome these challenges by planning by thinking upon the critical dimensions. Planning can help me professionally, as well. I have to find the correct format to make the portfolio more impactful. Instead of making a paper trail, I need to highlight essential skills and knowledge in my particular field. It is also vital for me to define my strengths clearly, and always keeping updating my portfolio to keep pace with changing career opportunities and skills developed. The portfolio is a living document. It will evolve. It is a personal reflection of who I am. I can use it in my job search, during the interview, and even when I am employed at my performance review.

    Question Description

    (650-1000 words)

    In Media/Society: Technology, Industries, Content, and Users, David R. Croteau and William Hoynes (2019, p. 13) define agency as follows, adding an example from education:

    Agency is intentional and undetermined human action. Human agency reproduces—or sometimes changes—social structure. . . . With education, students have some leeway in what they study, how much time and energy they spend on schoolwork, and whether or not they even continue their studies. But, overall, their actions typically reinforce an existing model of education that has evolved only modestly in the last century. . . . [W]hile structure constrains agency, it is human agency that either alters or maintains social structures.

    Rojek, on page 76 of Pop Music, Pop Culture, writes:

    Whereas structuralism foregrounds the desiderata that are alleged to condition or determine individual and group action, the agency perspective launches from the position of the knowledge, motivation and action of social actors to transform history and socio-economic contexts. It takes for granted that the central defect of the structuralist approach is to deny creativity, variation and cultural difference. . . . Against this, agency approaches emphasize the creativity and aesthetic contribution of artists and audiences and their attempt to make meaning and act upon society and history. The caveat here is that subjective choice and practice are conceived not as autonomous, but as entwined in fields of knowledge and power that prioritize specific types of embodiment, recognition and conduct.

    Pick one or two texts/writers we have read or read about, up to and including Week Five, the week of this assignment’s deadline. These texts may also be e.g. individual perspectives (Plato/Aristotle, relationism, etc.) discussed by Rojek in our textbook. Using examples from your own experience and/or various music-related media, explain where these texts/writers locate listeners’ and/or musicians’ agency. What, according to these texts/writers, is our agency in our everyday listening or in our musical performances? Where do these authors find “intentional and undetermined human action” or “the creativity and aesthetic contribution of artists and audiences and their attempt to make meaning and act upon society and history”? Do these texts/writers allow for agency at all?

    Further notes/recommendations (also remember to revisit the syllabus for further information):

    • Be sure to use the space you have efficiently. Choosing just one text may be enough if you have strong arguments in your discussion of its up- and downsides and if you bring in carefully selected ideas from other texts for comparison. Two texts/writers may work well for a comparison.
    • While, of course, short summaries of selected texts’/writers’ main arguments should be included in your text, be sure to focus on the application of their ideas to your examples, and focus on your critical evaluation of these ideas. To quote the syllabus: “How do the readings help us to understand the relationship between popular music and everyday life? Do these readings speak to your personal experience as a consumer or producer of music? Are there alternative ways of thinking about what the readings discuss? If so, what are they?”
    • Be sure to isolate the key arguments of the texts you focus on. Don’t feel like you have to explain a text’s/writer’s minor lines of thought. Instead, take a reading’s key point and engage with it through evidence as well as comparison.

    Abstract:
    Corporate social responsibility (CSR) reports are becoming a widespread corporate discourse practice and are often considered corporate image-building documents. The present study examines forward-looking statements in CSR reports from a genre-based perspective, aiming to better understand the textual practices of reporting genres in a globalized context and to raise awareness about ways they are used to shape perception of corporate activity. Using a corpus of 90 CSR reports in Chinese, English, and Italian and a subcorpus annotated with the “previewing future performance” move, the study combines a focus on genre-related contextual features and rhetorical patterns of CSR reports with a corpus-based study of future markers. The analysis reveals some cross-cultural variation in the distribution of the move, while its commissive function marks a common trend. Words indicating change (miglior*/??/improv*) are found to be frequently used for future reference in all three languages, suggesting that future discourse, though regarded as an optional element of the genre, is widely exploited by companies in actual practice to promote a committed corporate image in CSR. Based on this analysis, the study puts forward the notion of “writing conformity,” a general feature of many reporting genres, which may turn out to pose new and important challenges for professional writers.

    Leadership Development Project

    /0 Comments/in /by

    Question Description

    The objectives of this course were 1) to help you assess your existing leadership strengths and weaknesses, and 2) to help you develop a plan to address one or more leadership goal(s). The deliverable used to address these objectives is the Leadership Development Project. Below are the requirements for the LDP. The entire project should be no longer than 4 pages double spaced (including the goal setting chart). You do not need a title page.

    Your paper should contain the following sections:

    1. Analysis of Strengths and Weaknesses:

    • Self-Assessments – In this section you should discuss the results from all of the self assessments you took during the semester (e.g., LTQ). You do not have to mention the results of all of the assessments but you must mention a minimum of six and you should choose those that were most significant or relevant for you; either because you had an exceptionally high or low score, or because it fit with a theme supported by scores from your other assessments or interviews.
    • Interviews – In addition to the self assessments you will need to interview two people you have worked with recently (e.g., coworkers, supervisors, former supervisors, etc.) The important thing is to choose people whose opinion you respect and who will give you HONEST feedback. You will ask them to provide you with what they perceive to be your three greatest leadership strengths and three greatest leadership weaknesses, and to provide you with rationale for their choices. Perhaps ask them to give you some examples of when these behaviors have been demonstrated. *DO NOT argue with them or defend yourself, and monitor yourself to make sure you are not angry or defensive. Only ask questions to help you clarify their perspective.
    • Strengths/Weaknesses Conclusions – Once you have the interview data and the self assessments you should look for themes or trends. What do you appear to do well as a leader? What do you struggle with? This is the most important section of the LDP because you will choose one or two weaknesses from here to focus on for your “Goal Setting” portion of the project. This is an integrative paper, a summary of what you will take away from the class. Please do not simply list your self-assessment scores. *A short one or two sentences is NOT sufficient for this section.

    2. Goal Setting: What changes do you want to make? Based on the conclusions you were able to generate in the previous section regarding weaknesses, create at least one developmental goal for improving your leadership skills, and a plan for achieving that goal. Refer to the previous sections, and think about the things that you learned about yourself that you may have been surprised by or disappointed in. Your goals should be specific, measurable, challenging but attainable, results-oriented, and time-bound. You can use the attached sample as a guideline for creating your developmental plan.

    Often the difference between an A paper and a B/C paper is the ability to summarize rather than “list” the results, and the presence of MEASURABLE and TIME-BOUND goals.

    Case Study: Cyber Security

    /0 Comments/in /by

    Question Description

    One of the responsibilities placed on managers in today’s On-Demand Economy is that of ensuring that the business processes are held to a high degree of cybersecurity. Because the concept of data-on-demand is an operational necessity that places the enterprise’s and customers’ resources at risk to potential fraudulent hacks, all employees, including those that sit in the loftiest of office spaces, must be trained, made aware of the various methods and practices that can lead to vulnerabilities, and held to very high standards of compliance with standard cybersecurity practices.

    The growth of mobile technologies and the IoT have played a significant role in the On-Demand Economy environment. A downside to the proliferation of such technologies is the cracks and doors into the corporate and agency networks that have been opened along the data path, allowing for an increased level of black hat intrusions and reconnaissance.

    Case Study Assignment

    Download the APA Style Template (DOCX) and review the Case Study Requirements section.

    Conduct research on various methodologies and solutions relating to the implementation of effective cybersecurity programs that may be utilized to thwart outside-agency attacks on an enterprise’s networks. Your approach here should be to seek out scholarly source data relating to examples of the various cybersecurity measures that top management and IT departments might provide for employees and contractors, including data access enforcement, network intrusion detection and prevention systems, and real-time responses to incidents and attacks. You could focus your research on any one of the various types of defenses such as anti-malware applications, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs), Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPSs), biometric access, rogue app monitoring, mobile kill switch, or remote wipe capability technologies.

    Follow the guidelines in the Case Study Requirements section.

    Case Study assignments require you to analyze real-world information systems topics and provide examples that illustrate how prominent businesses and organizations implement the theoretical concepts you are studying. Case Study assignments provide a broader, integrated, critical thinking process that helps you to expand on and clarify your understanding of the information systems topics.

    Research
    Be sure to conduct in-depth research on the topics and provide factual details obtained from primary sources that support the case that you are making. It is strongly recommended that you conduct research utilizing the ERAU Hunt Library. The Hunt Library contains a great amount of information on aviation and other topics. A benefit of utilizing the Hunt Library is the availability of the APA style citation/reference tool that is provided when conducting research utilizing the EAGLEsearch feature. This tool can automatically provide the proper APA style formats for citations and references.

    Writing Assignment 1:Chapter 4 Business Ethics and Social Responsibility

    • OrganixProducts
    • Personal Responsibility and Corporate Responsibility
    • Inflated Expense Reports

    If you’ve ever spent more than 60 seconds in the hair-care aisle at Walgreens

    or CVS, you have likely seen products by Organix.The products by the trademarked brand are packaged in rounded, solid-color bottles with gold or black text describing signature ingredients, such as Brazilian keratin therapy, Moroccan argan oil, teatree mint shampoo.The shampoos and conditioners generally sell for between $5 and $10.In 2012, the brand generated $250 million in revenue. Despite the brand name, none of the Organix products are organic—the company doesn’t claim they are. Organix’s parent company wants to sell it, but large beauty companies like Procter & Gamble and L’Oréal, which seem like obvious buyers, are not at all interested.

    Do you think Organix has an ethical issue? Why or why not?

    If you were in charge of acquisitions at a beauty company, would you consider purchasing Organix?Do some research on the company, then make a decision and defend it. (25pts)

    A growing number of businesses—including videogame developers, cigarette companies, soft drink producers, liquor marketers, and fast food chains—are feeling the heat from government, the press, and society at large for encouraging harmful consumer habits. But in our free market economy, people are free to choose the products they consume (within legal boundaries, of course).

    Where does personal responsibility end and corporate responsibility begin?How does your response change across specific industries?What role (if any) do you believe the government should play?Develop a rationale for each of your answers. (25 pts)

    You’ve just done a great job on a recent project at your company. Your boss has been very vocal about acknowledging your work and the increased revenue that resulted from it. Privately, she said that you clearly earned a bonus of at least 10%, but due to company politics, she was unable to secure the bonus for you. She also implied that if you were to submit inflated expense reports for the next few months, she would look the other way, and you could pocket the extra cash as well-deserved compensation for your contributions.
