Psychology Of Addictive Behaviors, 25(2), 346-351. doi:10.1037/a0022678 “The role of college students' use of protective behavioral strategies in the relation between binge drinking and alcohol-related problems.” This is a study performed on 4,154 students at 13 mid-western universities. The purpose of the present study was to extend previous literature to examine the moderating effect of PBS (protective behavioral strategies) on the relationship between binge drinking and alcohol-related problems. Findings indicated that PBS moderated the binge drinking-alcohol problems relationship for each of the four measures of binge drinking. I will be using this source because it explains the psychological effects that could cause college or university students to start binge drinking. It also explains the problems binge drinking can cause students.

Managing People with Technology Technological advances in the workplace have brought about a drastic change in the business environment, and the way people are managed. The workplace is being shaped today by an advanced web, powerful technologies, and social media that is accessible on any electronic device of any size. The merging of these technologies and workforce trends are creating a generation of workers who are hyper connected, and managers who are learning to communicate with them. Losing the Face to Face I know that in the medium sized government where I work, most critical collaboration and crisis resolution is still done face-to-face with the support of technology. However, the use of technology can severely limit the amount of interaction among employees. Most of the resources that an employee could need can be accessed right from their desk. A lot of the planned and impromptu meetings around the coffee machine in the employee lounge...

...The sources I chose or my articles are reliable, relevant sources for my Personal Responsibility Essay. Managed Healthcare Executive for example is a reliable source; they are members of the Modern Medicine Network. This network consists of Editorial Advisory Board and Professional Advisory Council members. There is no author bias; the information published is actual facts, driven by statistics and research. Below is the section I used from this article for my essay. “Consumers' personal choices and behaviors are significant determinants of their overall health, and those who fail to take personal responsibility for their health can cost the system billions of dollars each year. For example, a 2010 study from the UnitedHealth Center for Reform and Modernization found that more than 50% of Americans could have diabetes or pre-diabetes by 2020, carrying a cost of $3.35 trillion over the next decade. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, smokers cost the community more than $193 billion annually in lost productivity and healthcare costs ( Managed Healthcare Executive" (2013).” I was relevant to my essay; I want to show the reader the cost to all insurers because of people who refused to take care of their health. This information only proved the point I was trying to make so I feel that it strengthen my essay. The other source used for my essay is from a Journal called HEALTH EDUCATION JOURNAL.

...Tavares, this is not the first time Pepsi Company is associated with unethical behavior. I can recall in year 2007 Pepsi was involved with false advertizing. Pepsi was selling its Aquafina brand of bottled water under the assumption that Aquafina is sourced from mountain spring water. Although the bottle itself did not have the words “spring water”, Pepsi used a great marketing gimmick to deceive consumers. Aquafina brand was sold in a bottle with a clean, blue label showing images of snow-capped mountains and the claim, "Pure water, perfect taste". That's the image created by PepsiCco's Aquafina brand of water, and many consumers leaped to the incorrect conclusion that Aquafina is sourced from mountain spring water. In reality, Aquafina comes from tap water, the same water we get when we turn on our kitchen faucet. Of course, Aquafina is filtered, purified and perhaps even enhanced with trace amounts of added minerals, but it's certainly not mountain spring water, it's just processed tap water, nothing more. PepsiCo only agreed to the truth on their bottled water labels after being pressured by Corporate Accountability International (CAI), a non-profit organization that helps protect consumers from corporate abuse. PepsiCo bottled water issue brought to light the apparent deceptive practices of some of the largest suppliers of bottled water products. By avoiding the honest labeling of the source of their water while relying on snow-capped mountain imagery, these companies...

Never use profane language or other inappropriate language in a discussion. 9. Provide constructive criticism related to the work where appropriate. 10.

I believe these ten guiding principles are a good starting point for me in my studies at American Intercontinental University as well as elsewhere in my life, professional and personal. They represent what I believe in and stand for. I believe the ethics I use during my studies and my personal integrity I display during my time at AIU will provide a good base to build on when I take the next step in my professional life. The relationship between studies and professional life is very closely related. Academic life and professional life is the same in a way since in both there will be tasks to perform, work to be done and assignments to complete. If one starts down a path of cheating and other unethical behavior while still in school it is very hard to change ones thinking...

This source is more of what teenage bullying really is from the start to where it is now. It is more of an informative article to help you to understand teenage bullying a little better. This source meets that the definition of credible because it come from the ITT Virtual Library which consists of books, periodical databases that provide access to journals, authoritative encyclopedias, and subject dictionaries. This is a definition within the source that defines Asperger syndrome; “Asperger syndrome: A neurological disorder associated with autism that is characterized by normal intelligence and language development, but marked by deficiencies in social and communication skills. Such individuals can easily become victims of bullying”. This source would be accepted by an academic paper because it shows all its sources and come from an encyclopedia which is made up of factual information. The second source is a government site that informs people about bullying and gives you information in preventing it. The title that I came across when using the site was “Bullying Definition”.

...Urban Legends: How do they work? Urban legends are told every day of the week and for different reasons. Some of the legends tell a story while others are telling the reader about behaviors that might have serious consequences. Some are based on truth, while others are based on fiction. According to author Tom Harris, the definition of an urban legend is “A modern, fictional story, told as truth, which reaches a wide audience by being passed from person to person”. Urban legends come from different sources like the internet, passed from friend to friend or reading it in a book or newspaper. When reading or listening to an urban legend tale, one has to ask 1. Is the source objective or biased 2. Is the source reputable and 3. Is the source sufficiently detailed? The tales over the years have become more elaborate and some parts of the story maybe true but as time goes on, another part of the story gets added making the story more unbelievable. According to author, James M. Henslin states that “urban legends are stories with an ironic twist that sounds realistic but are false”. Urban legends are told to people because of a lesson that needs to be learned or behaviors that need to be corrected. The person who is telling the story might think that by sharing this story, it would help that person because it’s similar in nature; therefore the person speaking is trying to help. In conclusion, urban legends are told for a different reasons and it’s up to the people...
