The goal of communications is to make ethics a live, ongoing conversation. If ethics is something that is constantly addressed, referenced frequently in company meetings, and in personal conversations among managers and employees, then people are more aware and more willing to defend the company’s policies when they see or hear of problems. Employees will hold other employees responsible and accountable for living the company’s values.

There have been many things that I have learned this semester from knowing what type of graphic displays my data in the best way to how to calculate the location quotient. Probably what stuck the most was the difference between race and ethnicity and calculating projections. I was surprised how many times that topic came up after we learned that. I would explain the difference in my conversations and the majority of the people were surprised to find that there are only two ethnicities, which are Hispanic or Latino and Non-Hispanic or Latino. Now I know that the races are only white, Black or African American, Asian, American Indian and Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander. The only thing that I do not understand and probably

Amanda and Erica’s grades may differ for a variety of reasons. Studies show that the more academic activities a parent is involved in is significantly associated with their child having higher literacy achievement, lower rates of grade retention, and fewer years needing special education (Miedel & Reynolds, 2000). Amanda’s father’s income, education, and occupation also all correlate with her literacy abilities (Buckingham, Wheldall, & Beaman-Wheldall, 2013). Parental education has the strongest influence of the three (Buckingham, Wheldall, & Beaman-Wheldall, 2013).

This is my fourth semester attending Lamar Institute of Technology. The thing that seemed to be most difficult was that most students are not offered outside opinions on teachers and the classes offered. It seems like a challenge due to the fact that as students he or she does not know what he or she are getting into.

On 7/30/2015, client walk in the social service office and CM completed Bi-Weekly ILP Review. In the meeting client appears she appeared her stated age and in good physical health.

“There are only patterns, patterns on top of patterns, patterns that affect other patterns. Patterns hidden by patterns. Patterns within patterns. If you watch close, history does nothing but repeat itself. What we call chaos is just patterns we haven't recognized. What we call random is just patterns we can't decipher. What we can't understand we call nonsense. What we can't read we call gibberish. There is no free will. There are no variables.(Palahniuk, Charles).” This quote indeed can be implied in our everyday lives, but I think that it is very much relatable to what goes on in our country, our government tactics and even the catastrophes that happened in America. However some would

Business model entails many facets. To narrow down the meaning of business model, it refers to the way businesses intend to create products to sell and to generate revenue in a particular industry (Ovans, A., 2015). As business decided elements necessary to accomplish goal and objectives, they must consider many factor that influence business models. According to Band (2009a), people, process & strategy effect business models. People effects business models through skilled or unskilled employees, organizational structures and incentives. Studies found that user adoption is the top problem that organizations face when implementing CRM solutions. Lack of training and education compound implementation CRM solutions. Change in

For this week’s discussion board question I decide to go out and try to find details about a person and see if I could get them to let me use their phone. I thought that this would be a challenge and people would be very unlikely to trust a stranger who they didn’t know and expected to be rejected multiple times. I also thought this would be difficult for me because I am a very introverted person and don’t feel comfortable talking to people if I don’t know them. Amazingly, it was very easy to do and on my first try I was able to get someone to let me use their phone.

In regards to my current life stage, I am a young adult and almost all of my financial income is paid in wage from my occupation as a lifeguard. As I am not a parent of any kids, my financial expenses consist of paying for food, clothing, transportation, and school fees. Therefore, most of my expenses are centered around myself and focuses on future career plans to eventually increase my income as I will be able to attain a profession after acquiring a college education. Presently, I have not surrounded myself with assets because I have not acquired my college degree or decided upon a profession; as a result, I would not be able to search for appropriate assets.

Pedretti, Pendleton & Schultz-Krohn (2006) define attention as being this voluntary control over more automatic brain systems to effectively select and manipulate sensory or stored information briefly or for sustained periods. One component of attention is this term ‘sustained attention’, which is the ability to consistently engage in an activity over time without loosing concentration (Willard & Spackman, 2014). Willard & Spackman express that repetitive and predictable activities place less demands on sustained attention.

To effectively reduce vigilance decrement during vigilance tasks, a thorough understanding of it is needed. This study explores whether vigilance decrement can be explained by the resource theory or the mindlessness theory. The performance of 464 participants during a laboratory conducted dot location vigilance task lasting for twelve minutes. Six break activities were also conducted to reduce vigilance decrement. Out of the six, the Rest group had the greatest effect on vigilance decrement (no vigilance decrement) followed by the verbal memory group and the spatial memory group. With no breaks, the continuous group had the greatest decrement in performance, acting as a control. The results supported the use of the resource theory that a break of a different cognitive type improves performance but the demands of the task influence must also be considered (more demanding tasks drains resources at a faster rate).

Vigilance is defined as the action or state of being alert and watchful. It is concerned both with what is and what will be. Thus it is important to be Vigilant in the army for many reasons. Not the least of which being it could keep you and your buddies alive despite the world’s best attempts to make you otherwise. But it means more than just staying awake and alert at guard duty. It means both being mentally and physically prepared to react to changing conditions and to being aware and cognizant of the current conditions. There are three important categories to discuss here and expound upon. The First is Vigilance

Learning is the process of memorization, integration and application of new information and concepts. Attention is the process of prioritizing and applying information and concepts. The end dynamic of these two processes involves distribution of energy, priorities, and decision making once information is absorbed. All of us, at one point, or many, in our lives, have been told to “pay attention.” Distractions easily divert our focus, taking our concentration to conversations across the room, or to a passing train out the window, or to a spot on a speaker’s collar. Attention effects the way we learn and effects of college life. It can have negative effects and positive effects on the way we can be successful throughout college.
