Composition I Cause and Effect Essay

The major writing assignment for this week is to compose a cause and effect essay of approximately 600-700 words. The following is the suggested topic:...>
In "Black Men and Public Space," Staples describes circumstances that often result in fear. Focusing on a more positive emotion, like admiration or contentment, illustrate the situations that tend to elicit that emotion in you. Discuss why these circumstances have the effect they do.

Please apply APA guidelines, a strong thesis and conclusion. I would prefer the focus to be on the positive emotion of contentment. Include background on forces that perhaps direct human behavior...the cause....the effects and the coping is finding contentment(maybe)---I've started an outline but I think it needs polish...and the connection to positive feelings.....

1. The socioeconomic and political structures, which result in the arrangement of people into classes, influence (and in some cases even dictate) how much access to knowledge we have, what kinds of cultural products we consume, what thoughts we think, what we can do with our lives, who our friends and lovers are, where we live, what kinds of cars we drive, even the kinds of sicknesses we have or how long we will live.

2. Social institutions:
a. The State has final say on whether we exist or have ceased to be (through those little pieces of paper we call birth/death certificates), the age of consent, where we can travel or if we can travel at all, whether we can drive or not, who we can (no same-sex) and how many people we can marry (no bigamy/polygamy). Of course things are much worse among people governed by totalitarian states which have power over life and death.
b. In countries where the Church still matters, or where there's no separation between Church and State, it pretty much substitutes for the State.
c. The Family has first crack in reproducing people who are not much different from those who came before. It instills us with values that make us "fit" for functioning in society. It indoctrinates us in the ways of the world as well as the finer points of societal expectations.
d. The School continues where the family leaves off. It is where we learn conformity and get our first taste of bullying and alienation for being different. It is where we develop friendships and connections that continue long after we've left university in the form of "old boy/girl networks" that can undermine or even subvert any meritocracy which may be in place.
e. The Media churns out and regurgitates ideas that are meant to keep power and wealth within a very few. They sell cheap dreams meant for us to drool over all sorts of consumer goods, teach us to mouth the latest buzz words and be hip to the latest fads even amongst the intellectual elite who are supposed to be equipped with more power of discernment. They put us in a trance of knee-jerk mass consumption by constantly bombarding us with images that produce false needs.  more

? Body (a discussion of how the literature relates to the project
? Summary and Future Research Recommendations

This paper is to explore Globalization's Effect on the United States' National Security. Please ensure to discuss topics such as the economy's role in National Security and the importance of educatio...n. Emphasize the fact that the last National Security Strategy by current President Obama (May 2010) is the first time these items are addressed in and National Security Strategy. This should be one of the sources. Within the document it states things like, "We must grow our economy and reduce our deficit. We must educate our children to compete in an age where knowledge is capital, and the marketplace is global. We must develop clean energy that can power new industry, unbind us from foreign oil, and preserve our planet. We must pursue science and research that enables discovery, and unlocks wonders as unforeseen to us today as the surface of the moon and the microchip were a century ago. Simply put, we must see American innovation as a foundation of American power." It also has some other interesting items such as, "The United States must ensure that we have the world's best-educated workforce, a private sector that fosters innovation, and citizens and businesses that can access affordable health care to compete in a globalized economy." There are other mentions of globalization and the importance of the US to be able to compete. I also have read that globalization is one key reason 9/11 was able to be successful. Things such as a good economy help the US fund its defense as well. There are many avenues to explore with this topic. Please include some charts and graphs (maybe to compare the US to other countries - e.g. education levels, economy growth and decline, ect...). I mention 10 sources are required, but more or less can be used; however, the sources MUST BE peer-reviewed sources. You may use a couple of media sources, but not for facts. Please include the major sections as if it were a small thesis (Intro, Literature Review, Analysis, Interpretations and Findings, Conclusion, etc...). It must be at a minimum of 17 pages (not including the bibliography). I am providing additional time because quality is the upmost importance to me. I will also be requesting (at the additional fee) an executive summery of the paper as well. I appreciate your hard work on this important project. Please write the paper in Chicago Style. Also cite all sources using Chicago Style rules.  more

Please make great research question after you saw my proposal paper.
You will notice after you read my research proposal paper. I don't have specific research question for this paper. Please writ...e this paper between Research proposal paper and your specific research question to be deeply related each other. But, I research question should be very specific and logical. And I strongly hope this research question should start with "Why?" , not "How", and "What".

This research paper should at least touch upon the social, economic, ecological and political features of the commodity chain. Consider the following questions as helpful prompts in formulating your own guiding research question(s). (You don't have to answer all this. This question is only for helping to find out research question(s). If you have more better specific and professional analysis, it's okay to write them.)

1) Where is this food grown, processed and consumed?
2) Who dominates the market for this commodity, both politically and economically?
3) What international and domestic institutions affect the distribution of power and wealth around this commodity?
4) What are the primary ecological consequences associated with this commodity?
5) How are social and political movements influencing the power dynamics associated with this commodity?
6) How does a systemic analysis of this food commodity deepen our understanding of the intersection of political, economic and ecological forces in the world system?
7) What policy and institutional changes could make this commodity chain more socially and environmentally sustainable?

Please include in this paper a preliminary bibliography, with at least seven (7) outside references and at least half from scholarly sources. (No Wikipedia) But, I put 10 sourses.

Once again, I uploaded my research proposal paper. Please write this paper between Research proposal paper and research question to be deeply related each other. And this paper should be very logical, specific, and at least master level of writing and research skills.

Please finish this paper 5/23/2012 9:00AM EST. This is VERY VERY important paper. There is no time extension. I am sorry.

This commodity chain paper should be Times New Roman, 11-12 pages long, double-spaced, with page numbers and 1-inch margins.  more

I am writing a research paper on the negative effects of tv on children. I need to cite actual research that documents changed behavior as a result of watching certain things on TV. The paper is not m...eant to solve the 'problem' but rather prove the impact of tv on behavior. I am to write like a social scientist would write, describe the problem, cite different methods in which this is researched (example: Survey method, Case Study method, Sampling method). In general, the paper should include 1. the definition of the research 'problem' 2. theoretical framework used 3. research methodology of the research studies reviewed (example: Survey method, case study method, etc...) 4. presentation of findings 5. Conclusions-author's and 'mine'.


My outline was written as follows be

I. Introduction A)The 'problem': This paper must address specifically, the way in which television effects children's behaviors and problematic relationships with adults, including parents and teachers. 1. It has been assessed in previous areas of research that TV can cause children to have a propensity to view adults as equals and thus treat them with disrespect, creating behavior problems both at home and in school. 2. Areas of research should include surveys, interviews,observations and secondary research citing via books, magazines, and scholarly journals. B. Studies on Negative effects and studies stating "no effect" on Socialization of children through TV media. 1. Studies show that watching certain shows do cause problematic behaviors in children's relationships. 2. Studies show that watching certain shows do not cause problematic behaviors in children's relationships. C. After weighing evidence it appears that TV does cause negative behaviors and 'inappropriate' communication. II. Research supporting TV's negative effect on Children affect on children. A) First Study supporting negative affects: 1. Method: survey method 2. Results 3. Analysis of survey's conclusions B)Second study supporting negative effects: 1.Method: case study 2.Results 3. Analysis of case conclusions III. Research not supporting TV's negative effect on children A)First study not supporting TV's negative effects: 1. Method: interview Method 2. Results 3. Analysis of interview's conclusions B) Second study not supporting TV's negative effects 1. Method: Sampling 2. Results 3. Conclusion of Sampling Analysis IV. Conclusion A)Good methodology is used to support the problem that TV has negative effect on children's behavior. B)Studies that do not support the problem that TV has a negative impact on children's also have only fair methodology. C) Research better supports that TV can have a damaging effect on children's behavior.

Hello writer, please read the following article and write a two pages literature review.

The Affective Consequences of Social Comparison: Either Direction Has Its Ups and Downs (Journal of Pe...rsonality and Social Psychology, 1990, Vol. 59, No. 6, 1238-1249)

Research on social comparison processes has assumed that a comparison in a given direction (upward or downward) will lead to a particular affective reaction. In contrast, the present two studies proposed and found that a comparison can produce either positive or negative feelings about oneself, independent of its direction. Several factors moderated the tendency to derive positive or negative affect from upward and downward comparisons. In Study 1, cancer patients low in self-esteem and with low perceived control over their symptoms and illness were more likely to see downward comparisons as having negative implications for themselves. Those low in self-esteem were also more likely to perceive upward comparisons as negative. In Study 2, individuals with high marital dissatisfaction and those who felt uncertain about their marital relationship were more likely to experience negative affect from upward and downward comparisons. The implications of these findings for social comparisons theory and for the coping and adaptation literature are discussed.

Study 1 Result Discussion:
The present study produced four sets of results that have relevance to social comparison theory. First, in contrast to much previous theorizing and empirical emphasis, the data revealed that upward and downward comparisons are not intrinsically linked to particular affective outcomes. Instead, as predicted, we found that people may construe both upward and downward comparisons as either positive or negative.
Consistent with download comparison theory, the present study found that cancer patients most frequently engaged in self-enhancing downward comparisons. We had proposed, however, that upward comparisons could be interpreted in a self-enhancing manner as well. This hypothesis was supported. In fact, a majority of the sample made self-enhancing upward comparisons, and these occurred nearly as often as self-enhancing downward ones.
Just as both directions of comparison may be interpreted positively, both may also lead to negative self-perceptions. Information that another person is doing worse than oneself can be depressing, as can information that someone is doing better than oneself. Interestingly, in the present study the former took place more often than did the latter: Downward comparisons more frequently led to negative affect than did upward comparisons. Respondents tended to be frightened by the experiences of patients who were not recovering from their cancer.
This ability to derive positive or negative affective consequences from social comparisons was, as evidenced by respondents? examples, not specific to comparisons of a particular aspect of one?s cancer, such as prognosis or adjustment. There was, however, a tendency for upward comparisons on the dimension of coping to more often lead to positive affect than those made on other dimensions.
The second important set of findings for social comparison theory concerned the role of moderating factors in the affective consequences of social comparisons. The ability to avoid negative comparisons was more true of individuals high in self-esteem and (for downward comparisons) those who believed they could control the symptoms or course of the disease than of people low on these characteristics. With respect to self-esteem, we had hypothesized that high self-esteem individuals would be more likely to make self-enhancing comparisons in either direction, and less likely to experience comparisons as threatening, than would persons lower in self-esteem. Only the latter half of this hypothesis was supported. Whereas self-esteem did not affect the frequency with which comparisons were seen as positive, low self-esteem persons were significantly more likely to experience negative outcome comparisons than were persons of high self-esteem.
A similar effect was found with regard to psychological control. Those people who felt they could control their symptoms and the future course of the illness were less likely to feel threatened by exposure to very ill patients. They were not, however, any more likely to focus on the positive implications of another?s successful recovery than were persons who felt their future health was uncontrollable.
Third, the ability to avoid negative comparisons appears to depend more on the subjective than objective characteristics of the threatening event. We had predicted that prognosis would influence whether one derived hope from the knowledge that others were improving and despair at news of another?s decline. However, the comparer?s prognosis was not related to the frequency with which a comparison was seen as threatening or enhancing. The rating of prognosis was an objective measure, however, and many cancer patients retain the belief that they will recover in spite of indications to the contrary. Indeed, Wood and her colleagues also failed to find an effect of prognosis when using an objective measure to predict enhancing downward comparisons. Our positive findings concerning control suggest that a subjective measure of respondents? perceived prognosis might have been associated with the ability to derive benefit from comparisons.
Finally, self-serving social comparisons appear to mute the effect of negative information rather than enhance available positive information; that is, both self-esteem and control were associated with fewer negative affect comparisons, but were unrelated to positive comparisons.

General Discussion for Study 1 and Study 2:
Taken together, the findings from two studies examining social comparison processes in different domains have important implications for social comparison theory. Both studies demonstrated that comparison direction (upward or downward) is not intrinsically linked to affect, as the previous literature has often assumed. Rather, both upward and downward social comparisons are capable of generating positive or negative affective responses, depending on which aspect of the comparison is focused on.
The results from the two studies also show some commonalities in the frequencies of different kinds of comparisons. Both studies found that positive affect comparisons were the most common comparisons reported, with positive downward comparisons more common than positive upward comparisons. There are some differences in frequency of types of comparisons between the two studies. Whereas in Study 1, upward comparisons evoked positive affect nearly as often as downward comparisons, in Study 2 upward comparisons were less potent in generating this effect than were downward comparisons. In the same vein, in Study 2, upward comparisons leading to negative affect were more frequent than downward comparisons leading to negative affect, whereas in Study 1 the reverse was true. Perhaps this difference depends on the two types of events, namely cancer and marriage. In normal situations (such as the evaluation of an ongoing marriage), upward comparisons may be relatively threatening because they remind people how poorly they are doing, whereas in stressful circumstances (such as undergoing cancer), seeing a positive example may be encouraging and inspiring. Further research is needed to determine whether individuals experiencing an unusual threat interpret comparison information differently from people in normal situations.
Another significant regularity in the data concerns the fact that the moderating variables of self-esteem and controllability (in Study 1) and uncertainty and marital satisfaction (in Study 2) largely affected the frequency of negative affect but not positive affect comparisons. Taken together, these results tie in with a larger body of literature in social cognition suggesting that there are cognitive filters of selective attention, representation, and recall that help people maintain positive beliefs. Consistent with that body of data, the results suggest that these filters operate more to keep the negative implications of information out of view than to enhance available positive information.
The results concerning self-esteem provide an interesting insight into a current issue in the comparison literature. Our findings are somewhat inconsistent with Wills?s downward comparison theory, which predicts that low self-esteem individuals or individuals under thereat should make a greater number of self-enhancing downward comparisons. Overall, individuals who evaluated themselves (Study 1) or their situation (Study 2) negatively made substantial numbers of downward comparisons, but as just noted, they did not derive a greater amount of self-enhancing information as a result. This finding is more consistent with Crocker et al.?s results, which found that high self-esteem individuals were better able than low self-esteem individuals to make comparisons that are self-serving. Crocker et al.?s data had demonstrated that high self-esteem people make downward comparisons for this purpose. The present results suggest that high self-esteem individuals are better able to make use of either upward or downward comparisons for the purpose of self-enhancement than are low self-esteem individuals.
We had predicted that uncertainty would increase comparisons of all kinds, a prediction that was not upheld. Instead, in Study 2, uncertainty and dissatisfaction regarding one?s marriage related to affective consequences of social comparisons the same way, namely in terms of more frequent negatively valenced comparisons. There are at least two possible explanations for this result. One is to argue that uncertainty and dissatisfaction are tapping the same construct. The tow measures were highly correlated. Arguing against this point is the fact that marital dissatisfaction also increased the frequency of positive affect downward comparisons, a finding that was not mirrored in the uncertainty data. The other explanation maintains that these measures are tapping two separate dimensions, negativity and ambiguity, that have been previously identified in the stress literature as enhancing the perception of stress. Uncertainty and dissatisfaction may both increase the experience of strain, which in turn may increase vigilance to the negative information inherent in social comparisons. If uncertainty and dissatisfaction are indeed two separate dimensions of marital perceptions, dissatisfaction would seem to create a greater need for self-enhancing downward comparisons than uncertainty/ambiguity.
There?re limitations to the studies. The direction of causality cannot be determined for the moderating variables. Those high in self-esteem, control, marital satisfaction, or certainty may make different comparisons than others, or, alternatively, the avoidance of threatening comparisons may result in a more positive self-image, elevated perceptions of control, greater certainty in one?s perceptions, or greater satisfaction. As noted earlier, past research has demonstrated that the use of self-enhancing downward comparisons does improve self-esteem. The avoidance of threatening comparisons may have the same effect: Avoiding negative comparisons may be one way in which people high in self-esteem, control, satisfaction, or certainty maintain these perceptions.
The question arises as to whether the results from both studies can be interpreted as evidence of a positivity response bias. There is considerable evidence in the literature that people are biased toward perceiving events positively, a phenomenon that Matlin and Strang have termed the Pollyanna principle. Several factors argue against a response bias interpretation. First, there is little evidence of a positivity bias in these data; rather, negativity is avoided. Second, subjects who reported particular affective consequences of particular comparisons generally had examples readily available to buttress their perceptions, a finding that suggests that more than an automatic response bias was involved. Third, reports of affective consequences of particular comparisons varied systematically with perceived control in Study 1 and with dissatisfaction and uncertainty in Study 2, which would not be expected from a simple response bias. Moreover, the question of how to interpret positivity in psychological responses is itself under debate. Rather than representing a response bias, many psychologists have argued that mild positivity is how the majority of people experience a broad array of outcomes and that responses indicating such are not themselves a function of response set, but accurately reflect a mildly positive perception of the world.
The present data have implications for certain long-standing issues in social comparison and coping literatures, particularly how people respond to and cope with forced comparisons. The comparison environment appears to be somewhat less malleable than was characterized by Festinger. As a result, comparison targets are sometimes forced on the comparer, as in the case of cancer patients exposed to other patients in the waiting room. The present analysis suggests that some people, particularly those who evaluate themselves or their situation positively or those with a sense of personal control, may response to unwanted comparisons much as they respond to other negative information in their environments, filtering and distorting the data to fulfill their needs and expectations.
The results also have implications for the literature on coping and adaptation. Both Wills and Taylor and Lobel have assumed that the propensity to make downward comparisons under thereat stems from an augmented need for self-enhancement induced by threat. Yet the results from Study 2 suggests that negative affect comparisons in both directions are especially augmented by marital dissatisfaction and that positive affect downward comparisons are slightly lower among those high in marital dissatisfaction relative to those low in marital dissatisfaction. Recall, too, that in Study 1, negative affect downward comparisons were relatively more prevalent than in Study 2. it appears that the effects of threat on social comparison may be more complex than has been previously assumed. Although threat may produce a propensity for self-enhancing downward comparisons, it may simultaneously increase all kinds of negative affect comparisons, an effect that may augment rather than diminish distress. Of relevance too is the finding that persons who feel relatively less control over their health may also be threatened by downward comparison information, rather than comforted by it, as previous theory and results have suggested. Finally, the results of Study 2 suggest that those high in uncertainty, and therefore likely to seek comparison information, are also more likely to feel threatened by what they learn. The conditions that increase or decrease threatening interpretations of comparisons clearly merit additional study.
Finally, the finding that both upward and downward comparisons can be used for the purpose of self-enhancement addresses a long-standing question in the literature on social comparisons; How can people who are in need of self-enhancing feedback make use of better-off others to facilitate eventual change in their standing? If people are not capable of so doing, the presentation of self-esteem could have negative long-term consequences, leading people to ignore strategies of improvement. Our results address this concern, suggesting that people can make use of comparisons in either direction in order to simultaneously provide useful information and to maintain their positive self-perceptions.  more

The effect of the Flappers on today?s women


B Summary

The 1920?s in the US and UK can be described as a period of great change, both ...socially and economically. During this period the image of the women completely changed and a ?new women? emerged which might have impacted generations. The new symbol of the women was the Flapper. The Flapper was a new type of young woman that was rebellious, fun, bold and outspoken. This research paper explains the rise and fall of the Flapper in the 1920?s, explores its historical and current impact on women in terms of culture, work, gender and social behavior and reflects on its long-term impact of the position of today?s women.

C Aim

This research paper has the following objectives:

1. To explain the rise and fall of the Flappers in the 1920?s
2. To explore the historical and current impact of the Flappers on women in terms of
a. Culture (fashion, music, theater, film etc.)
b. Work (career etc.)
c. Gender (position of the women versus men in society etc.)
d. Social behaviour (public appearance etc.)
3. To reflect on the long-term impact of the Flappers on the position of today?s women

D Conduct research by applying the following methods
- to do a literature search and critical analyses of online - and offline sources about the rise and fall of the Flappers in the 1920?s (desk-research)
- to compare and contrast pieces of historical and contemporary sources (books, articles, magazines, research papers etc.) to explore the impact of the Flappers on today?s women in terms of culture, work, gender and social behaviour
- to evaluate the results of above research and analyses and coming to conclusions

Ethical Issues in Business - The graduate can determine ethical and socially responsible courses of action in a given business situation.

Objective: Evaluate a given situation to determine a ...companys attitude toward social responsibility.
________________________________________
Introduction:

Many believe that business entities should have an ethical duty to be socially responsible, to work towards increasing its positive effects on society while decreasing its negative effects. Many organizations look for opportunities to be socially responsible while also creating shareholder wealth.

Given:

Company Q is a small local grocery store chain located in a major metropolitan area. They have recently closed a couple of stores in higher-crime-rate areas of the city, reportedly because these two stores were consistently losing money. After years of requests from customers, all of their stores have started offering a very limited amount of health-conscience and organic products??"all of which were high margin items. When asked by the areas food bank for donation of day-old products, management declined deciding instead to throw the food away, citing worries over lost revenues due to possible fraud and stealing by employees who might say they are donating the food.

Task:
Write a brief essay (suggested length of 2??"3 pages) in which you:

A. Evaluate Company Qs current attitude toward social responsibility.
1. Recommend three areas that could be improved regarding the companys attitude toward social responsibility.

I want a paper plagiarize free paper that consist of a least 9 to 10 pages. I need 5 credible sources, preferable journals. I do not want nothing copy and paste from the web or from some other paper

First off thank you! This is my first time using this site, it comes with high praise from other students. I look forward to working with your company in the future also and have full trust in this si...te and the work I will receive.

About my paper:

This lit review will be a part of an action research paper that I will be writing. The breakdown of my paper will be me describing a situation that was in need of attention (SITNA) in my workplace between two employees (a DYAD), I will be writing about this experience since I have spent months working with them. The topic that I am looking into with these two employees has to do with workplace reorganization. These two employees have been chosen by management to bring order back to the department after we have been re-orged. The hope of management is for the department, as a whole, to be able to get back on track and work in a "business as usual" manner in a shorter amount of time so that the welfare of the employees will not be compromised.

The Lit Review section of the paper does not need to focus on the situation that I dealt with working with the employees per se. I just need literature to support my interviews and months working with the teams and their experiences of going through the process of departmental changes. Mainly, this lit review will add to the work that I have done. I am basically looking for journals, books, articles that talk about the effects that departmental re-organizations have on employees. The conclusion of my research, I feel, will be that no matter what is put into place by management work place departmental re-organization has a strong effect on employees and their welfare at work. I am not sure what the literature says at this point of course, but this is the direction that Iam thinking that the research will take me.

The structure of my paper (just so you know where the lit reivew section will be going) is:

Introduction
Description of my work with my DYAD and the SITNA
Lit Review
Conclusion

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Thank you!

A STUDY OF THE POSITIVE EFFECT OF EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY ON ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIAS HIGH SCHOOLS
Background
One of the most pressing issues facing school systems is the need to improve academic achievement while struggling with continued budge limitations. Washington DC Public Schools is one school system struggling with academic achievement under budgetary constraints. The District has 83.4% of its students are African American, 9.9% are Hispanic, 5.0% are White, 1.6% are Asian/Pacific Islander, and 0.1% American Indian/Alaskan Native (IES, 2007).
The district had significant gains of 8% and 11% respectively on reading and math in the elementary level and 9% and 9% respectively gains in reading and math on the secondary level for the 2008 District of Columbia Comprehensive Assessment System (DC CAS). The annual per-pupil expenditure is $13,780 for the districts students ranking third national only to New York and New Jersey.
Do to the districts declining tax base; the districts public schools are at a crossroads in finances. The Washington Post (2009, January 19) indicated that Fairfax, Montgomery, Prince Georgies, Prince William, Anne Arundel, Loudon, Howard, Charles, Arlington, Calvert, St. Marys, and Alexandria Counties along with D.C. Public Schools face enormous budgetary burden. With the down turn in economic activity, home sales slowed and declining value of existing homes, automobile sales, and job loss; the tax coffers are dwindling. Therefore, schools systems have to cut spending, many of the extracurricular activities are under the budget ax, at the same time No Child Left Behind (NCLB) standards are increasing (NCLB, 2001).
According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (2007), the District of Columbias eight graders rank last according to the proficiency index score. There are budget challenges facing the District of Columbia Public Schools, however, none of the challenges are specific to this school district, neither are some of the solutions.
Research Questions
Four research questions are going to be explored with this particular study. The questions are as follows:
1. What effect does athletic participation have on student GPAs?
2. What effect does athletic participation have on student DC CAS math scores?
3. What effect does athletic participation have on student DC CAS English Reading scores?
4. What effect does music participation have on student GPAs?
5. What effect does music participation have on student DC CAS math scores?
6. What effect does music participation have on student DC CAS English Reading scores?
Limitations
This is limited to the tenth grade students in the first semester of school year 2008 2009. One hundred and fifty students will comprise the control group of students not involved in any extracurricular activity and one hundred and fifty students will make up each of the two experimental groups, one of athletes and one group of music students.
Research Design
This is a quantitative study using t test for independent means used at the 0.05% level of significance in order to determine the comparative results of students involved in the athletic or extracurricular activities with students not involved in either activity. Students will be randomly selected using random stratification for all three groups.  more

1. Social media and the Fortune 500: How the Fortune 500 uses, perceives and measures social media as a marketing tool

Grainger, J. (2010). Social media and the fortune 500: How the fortune 500 uses, perceives and measures social media as a marketing tool. Journalism & Mass Communication). ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, Retrieved from http://search.proquest.com/docview/516248759?accountid=34899
Abstract
This study aims to explore if and to what extent social media are being used as a marketing tool at America's largest, most prestigious companies. More specifically, this study aims to determine what social media assets the Fortune 500 (based on the 2009 list) is employing, how communication and social media professionals at these companies perceive the importance of social media as a marketing tool and how the Fortune 500 is measuring the effectiveness of social media as a marketing tool.
The rise of digital and social media has brought about significant changes in the advertising and marketing world. Firms are now being forced to look for new and different ways of communicating with consumers as social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have forced companies to approach consumers differently, more informally and more conversationally. This "new approach" to marketing and advertising also comes with its own set of rules to determine, identify and ultimately measure the effectiveness of social media. This study aims to explore these queries through a multi-method approach that includes Internet searches and a Qualtrics online survey.
The theoretical framework of this topic is still in its early stages of development. Much of the current theory on this topic originates from industry publications and deals with how social media and digital technologies have changed the way in which people communicate, in general, and the way in which consumers interact with products, services and companies, more specifically. This study will add to that theoretical framework by exploring how firms perceive this change in communication and ultimately how they are measuring the effectiveness of social media tools when used in their marketing programs. Moreover the literature on how the measure social media as a marketing tool is very underdeveloped. This research will offer significant and original material to the academic literature on the topic of measurement.




2. Consumers' responses to mobile advertising: A normative social behavior perspective

Abstract
As mobile technology continues to diffuse, the numbers of mobile subscribers continue to grow. With a high penetration of mobile subscribers in the United States, the mobile phone and network is promptly becoming a feasible marketing channel as mobile phones facilitate the exposure to mobile technology.
The purpose of this study was to examine whether social norms and perceptions of mobile advertising play any role in predicting consumers' responses to mobile advertising. The study used a questionnaire survey method to measure mobile users' attitudes, perceptions and adoption intention of mobile advertising. A total of 300 college students from a large southwestern public university were recruited to participate in this study.
The study demonstrated that social norms and misperceptions predicted perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU) of mobile advertising. The study also found that PU predicted attitude towards mobile advertising, whereas PEOU did not predict attitude towards mobile advertising. Lastly attitude towards mobile advertising significantly predicted the intention to adopt mobile advertising.

Abstract
The first essay studies the channel relationship between the reseller and the manufacturer based on a social network theory framework. We propose a conceptual model that approaches this topic from a relational embeddedness perspective. Our analysis shows how the reseller can strategically develop relational ties with a manufacturer that transform the latter's common marketing mix into unique resources that enhance the reseller's own profit.
Results from a large scale survey of beer resellers in a local Chinese market suggest that in a channel setting, social norms (e.g. communication effectiveness and conflict resolution) and social relations influence the reseller's access to the manufacturer's valuable resources. Furthermore, we find that over embeddedness affects the reseller's profit in a non-linear manner. That is, a reseller's effort to develop a relationship with a particular manufacturer may generate information that lacks freshness, objectivity or usefulness, thereby diminishing the reseller's profitability.
Theory of social contagion states that individual's adoption of new product depends on the adoption of his immediate neighbors in a social network in addition to the influence from other sources. This research models the dynamic diffusion process of new drug in a social network of physicians. We simulated the information transmission process in a social network, where each network entity repetitively influences the probability of connected entity's new product adoption. The simulation approach integrates two seemingly contradictive concepts of cohesion and structural equivalence into a single modeling framework. Besides, it incorporates a coefficient that describes an individual entity's efficiency of information transmission. On the one extreme it assumes that information transmits to only one of the network neighbors and on the other extreme it assumes that information transmits to all of the network neighbors.
We revisited Medical Innovation data and empirically find an optimum point for each of the four cities in this data set, using a discrete time hazard model. The four cities demonstrate different patterns of information transmission. Managerially, we suggest different ways of pinpointing initial adopters in different types of social networks.

1. Friends, Fans, and Followers: Do ads Work on Social Networks?

Journal of Advertising Research; Mar2011, Vol. 51 Issue 1, p258-275, 18p

Abstract

The article presents research on Internet advertising, which examines consumer attitudes towards advertising presented on social media by users of those media. It is posited that advertising presented on online social networks can be effective, but that a perception of excessive commercial exploitation of a social network can lead its members to abandon it. A mathematical model of consumer attitudes towards advertising on social media is created based on media use and gratification theory and tested. It was found that consumers reacted most favorably to advertising which was perceived as offering entertainment or information value.

Abstract
This is a revised and enlarged edition of the 1986 book. Changes include a completely new chapter on political marketing; Chapter 12, "Issues in Social Policy," has been substantially re - written, as has Chapter 7 on the modern advertising industry. The revisions to Chapters 12 and 7 strengthen an already useful contribution to the literature that looks at advertising as something other than merely the manipulation of "false" needs. The new chapter on political marketing is less successful. The many merits of this book issue from the authors' success in pursuing what they call a single thread of argument: "national consumer product advertising has become one of the great vehicles of social communication" (p. 1). To this end they briefly look at neoliberal and Marxist critiques of advertising. Part 2 takes us from the origins of the consumer culture through the linking of media and advertising to a description of the modern advertising industry. Part 3, the Theatre of Consumption, is the main course. The authors apply semiological and content analyses to advertising including a discussion of the pitfalls of each. The advertisements they choose to accompany their text are invariably apt, ranging from a lipstick recommended by a very young Henry Fonda to Castoria, the safe laxative for children.

In an interview, Randi Zuckerberg, who works on marketing, politics, current events and nonprofits for Facebook Inc, talked about how 500 million friends are turning the online social network into people power and change for the better. According to Zuckerberg, he thinks it is important to remember that social media used effectively for fundraising is, in many ways, still in its infancy. In the cancer research example, $135,000 was raised, but 5.5 million people were also made more aware of that particular issue. Awareness is an immensely powerful tool to effect social change. He said that Facebook as a whole represents the cumulative interaction of 500 million people, each creating their own story. They are incredibly inspired by the stories they hear on a daily basis, about how people have used Facebook to change their lives and the lives of those around them.

Abstract
Trust has been investigated by behavioral and social scientists from different disciplines. Despite the interdisciplinary research, studies of advertising trust are not abundant in the literature, though both academic and trade investigations have incorporated and measured the construct. This study was conducted to examine consumer trust in different advertising media and the relationship of that trust to media credibility. Results indicate that (1) advertising media are neither especially trusted nor distrusted by consumers; (2) there is variation in consumer trust across different advertising media; (3) trust in specific ad media is differentially associated with education and income; and (4) trust in advertising media and media credibility are correlates, though trust in advertising is distinct and separate from the credibility construct.

Abstract
Although Smith's text is structured specifically for the print and broadcast journalist Thomas Bivins acknowledges the non-vacuous nature of the mass communication profession, and includes journalism, advertising, and public relations issues within his book, Mixed Media. As Bivins notes, it is important to consider the ethical aspects of various forms of communication, particularly in a time when many journalism programs offer ethics courses for all mass communication students, not just those pursuing journalistic reporting and editing.
The author, who is professor and John L. Hulteng Chair of Media Ethics at the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication, has written extensively on mass communication ethics and the application of ethical theory to public relations. His broad viewpoint helps bring the main mass communication players under the same publication "roof."
The text is designed to provide readers with ethical decision-making guidelines, and calls on students to apply their critical thinking skills to resolve dilemmas. Bivins presents the crux of the teaching challenge: "The only possibility of arriving at anything approaching a satisfactory response to our moral dilemmas lies not with rote answers to prepackaged questions but with real sweat that comes only from real thinking." This approach is most evident in the end-of-chapter questions that ask students to apply concepts and defend their responses.
The book's structure permits examination of ethical issues and dilemmas common to the three disciplines, including avoiding harm and telling the truth, professionalism, and social responsibility. The opening chapter helps set the stage of ethical discussions by providing some much-needed guidance into what constitutes an ethical issue; distinctions among values, ideals, and principles; the interplay between personal and professional ethics; and basic similarities and differences in how ethical foundations are applied in the three disciplines. A chapter on ethics theory, although relatively short, is structured in a way to reflect how these primary philosophies may be useful in resolving modern-day dilemmas. A thirty-plus-page appendix includes codes of ethics for print and broadcast journalism, public relations, and advertising.
Although Bivins includes all three professions, the focal point of the text remains under the umbrella of journalism and less on the inter-relationship that exists among the disciplines. Many of the case examples are journalism-based, and follow-up questions steer students toward dilemmas of the reporters and editors. The text could use more elements of comparison to show how these professions interact. For example, an exercise calling for students to examine one of the media/communication ethics codes could be broadened to ask students to compare codes and see for themselves where similarities, differences, and interactivity exist. A case study called "Defining a Journalist" omits the opportunity to define the other two professions.
Despite this shortcoming, it is encouraging to see one text that acknowledges the three disciplines. It is a practical handbook for students who will enter mass communication fields.
The two other books seem to take the teaching ethics challenge out of its traditional box of practical wisdom, encouraging readers to tackle diverse viewpoints and utilize nonjournalistic catalysts for critical thinking.

Abstract
In order to make a company a first-class marketing organization, a marketing community must be created within the company. This means changing the basic way in which the company and employees see themselves, the business environment, and the future. E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. Inc. management saw that new strategies were needed because of changes in the industry and the world marketplace. First, the basic product line was redefined, including rapid diversification. This required no changes in the corporate culture. Then, a major new emphasis was put on marketing. Du Pont's effort to build a marketing community began with the presentation of a series of marketing seminars. Then, programs were instituted to reemphasize quality so that everyone in the firm had higher standards. The organizational chart was revised from departments organized by product technology to a marketplace focus. A Corporate Marketing Recognition program publicly showed management support for the new focus.

Abstract
The field of marketing has had a history of individuals and organizations attempting short-term gain through less than ethical means. The advent of the Web and other technological advances has placed powerful resources in the hands of practitioners. Coupled with that power is an acute public awareness of marketing abuses that have adversely hindered subsequent marketing efforts. Marketers need to address basic marketing skills through old-fashioned personal contact and personal relations that probably never will be effectively replaced with modern IT methodology. Additionally, marketing should take a proactive approach to defining marketing responsibilities to the public it serves to overcome the reputation that is established by a few who are unethical in their approach to the craft.

Abstract
An editorial states that although business advertisers rarely expect instant orders from advertising, advertising programs must be held accountable. Expenditures on advertising must also be evaluated in comparison with money spent on other elements of marketing communications and promotion. There is no single measure of advertising effectiveness. In general, there are 2 approaches used: 1. communication-effect research, and 2. sales-effect research. Researchers have a major role to play in advancing the state-of-the-art in business-to-business advertising, especially in measuring effectiveness.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to review recent developments in online marketing strategy which demonstrate the growing power of online communities in building brand reputations and customer relationships. The work draws upon the results of an ongoing research project which is investigating the use of new technologies by entrepreneurial businesses in the London area. A range of examples from our 30 case study businesses are drawn upon to illustrate some of the opportunities and threats associated with these new marketing priorities. We conclude that social networks will play a key role in the future of marketing; externally they can replace customer annoyance with engagement, and internally they help to transform the traditional focus on control with an open and collaborative approach that is more conducive to success in the modern business environment. Further research should aim to track this activity as it integrates with more mainstream marketing over time. Developments in the technologies themselves, as well as a reduction in costs, will mean that more and more information will be available to consumers. This results in unprecedented levels of transparency of dealings between businesses and their customers. A key challenge when engaging customers through these social networks is how to give away power and control while at the same time avoiding embarrassment to the company. The paper provides practical guidance on the opportunities and threats associated with marketing through social networks, based on lessons learned from early adopters.

Many executives still hear only the social in social media -- and think recreational time waster. But social media has a place in the business world, and that place is much bigger than LinkedIn and extends far beyond the marketing department. From CEOs on Twitter to corporate Facebook pages, social media has decidedly grown up and gone to work. For most of people, social media means Facebook, Twitter, and maybe LinkedIn. But social media extends far beyond the Facebook profile to include wikis, blogs, sites for sharing pictures or bookmarks, and a host of other focused applications.

The most obvious uses of social media for innovation fall under the broad umbrella of open innovation.  more
