...in mass media with unsubstantial amounts of evidence to prove legitimacy makes me believe the source is sugarcoating a redundant issue, or story for publicity. Although the information in a newspaper or magazine such as New York Times may be excellent ways of learning what is happening in the world, they are no substitute for scholarly articles in peer-review journals. Therefore, the accuracy of the stories can be harder to discern. 2. How do you approach research? When approaching research, I identify a subject and make sub-subjects and add topics and provide details to each topic. By doing this, I have an organized structure of my subject, with different pieces of information supporting it. When conducting research, a good initial step is to compile a list of relevant literature. A second step is to scan the references to locate relevant articles. A third effective strategy is to Google relevant topics, especially useful resources for information on just about any scholar topic you can imagine. 3. What are the biggest challenges in doing research? The biggest challenges when approaching research I face is finding a reliable source for information. Using incorrect information is not acceptable. Websites such as Wikipedia should also never be used or cited as academic works because the sources are not delineated clearly enough to critique. In addition, Internet sources are so variable. At the one sites where bona fide educational group provide information compiled...

...instant gratification topic. The people who were reported the sports news were well qualified journalists that attended games and did research. In today's sports reporting world, anyone with a computer and basic writing skills can report and offer insight to any sports topic of their choosing with little or no skills. So why as avid sports fans, have we allowed the common sports blogger to infiltrate and provide us with average and marginal news? There are thousands and thousands of sports games played each year. In days past, unless you attended the actual game, you normally wouldn't know the outcome of games unless you stayed up late to watch the local news or you read the newspaper the next day. The newspaper was the top of line source of detailed information for your favorite team or the game you wanted to know about. The men and woman who wrote the articles were passionate and provided the readers with actual accounts of the game. Most if not all were college educated and had numerous credentials. The information they provided the best picture possible, but there were some setbacks, mainly that you had to wait for it. In other instances, human error showed its head as some scores were inaccurate and there was no real way to double check. There simply was no other way to do it during those times. In today's sports world, that is no longer a problem. Gone are the days of waiting. Today, almost nothing is out of reach. People want instant gratification. They want...

...Walking out of his house one morning Tom noticed an eerie silence about the morning. He lived in downtown Chicago, a loud busy area at any time of the day, so the silence wasn’t normal. Suddenly a beam of light hit the earth. Such a beam that it illuminated the whole city, and shortly after huge crowds were gathering outside, watching the spectacle. Nobody knew what it was, or where it came from, but it sure want normal. Immediately people started talking, making up their own theories on what that was. First, they rumored that we were getting bombed with some sort of nuclear weapon. But everything went back to normal in an hour, the crowd broke up, and all walked away, dazed still wondering what it was. Again around noon, the same thing happened, this time it was ten times brighter. And on the horizon, people said they saw strange planes in the air. Were they planes? Or were we being attacked. Soon people were going missing without a trace, vanishing. Everyone had questions, but no one had the answers. One thought he had the answer. Aliens, we were being attacked by aliens. Nobody accepted his word, they thought aliens didn’t exist. As more and more people began vanishing each day, it was clear something weird was going on. But what, how do we find out. A lead helps them out; someone got a picture of the ufos that were seen all around the city. At this point people were starting to get paranoid, the city was beginning to shut down. Tom believed in all this alien hype...

...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. The source is a very reliable source that has multiple authors who are either college or university professors or department of education, giving me respectful and reliable information. Ryan, J.

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...

...Power Source Implications for Leader/Follower Relationse National American University According to Webster’s Dictionary, power can be defined as the ability to act or produce an effect. What does power have to do with leadership? Well the leader is given power of the followers. The effect that the leader is trying to produce will be specific organizational goals. Those goals can be long-term or short-term. When we refer to the power source, we are referring to the method by which the leader will use when achieving these goals. Power sources deal primarily with how the leader attempts to work with the followers. Some leaders may build a relationship that may go beyond the organization in which the leader is able to gain the followers trust while some keep it strictly personal. Relationships between leader and follower must have their limits, which is why many organizations are strict on leaders fraternizing with the followers. Executives of some of the top companies use power sources in order to climb to the top, so it is no secret that these do help organizations achieve goals. Expert Power Expert Power is the source in which the leader is able to gain the trust of the followers due to the leader’s knowledge and expertise in a particular are. When someone knows they can approach their leader with questions and the leader has the answer, that person is more likely to be confident in that information as well as themselves and then leading to accomplished goals.

...My guiding principles in academic ethics and integrity 1. Always form my own opinions and ideas based on my own experiences and knowledge. 2. Form new opinions based on more than one source of information. 3. Never accept facts from sources without verifying the validity and author of the source. 4. Always write my own papers based on my own research. 5. Never accept offers from others to complete my work for me for free or for a fee or service. 6.

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

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...

...What is an ‘academic reference’? An academic reference is a book or journal article that has been “peer-reviewed” by academic specialists in the particular field. Academic references are considered to have more legitimacy and credibility than popular sources for this reason. Popular sources such as newspapers, social media, websites and blogs are not academic references and may have no claims to legitimacy or credibility. Why is academic referencing important at university? At university we are trying to develop critical thinking in students. Not “critical” in terms of negative thinking, but in terms of being able to analyse information and make informed comments about how valid the views expressed in the source may be. By using academic references you show that you can compare sources of legitimate information. Make sure you have a majority of academic references in your assignments. While you may use and reference popular sources, make sure most of your references are academic references. Ask the lecturer if you have any concerns or comments about either referencing or any aspect of your study, including after you receive marked assignments. ____________________________________________________________________________ Common types of academic references used in The Business School at UB. 1. Citation of a reference in your assignment (“in-text citation”). Method: author(s) and date of publication. Example: Retrenchment has become a part of contemporary...
