...evolved dynamically from just a method of communication to more important medium of exchanging information, dealing with multi billion dollars worth business value. Information as a key asset in the business world is highly valued by anyone who knows what that piece of information can benefit them thus, information generally is neither something cheap to obtain nor is made available freely out of the thin air. However, newly evolving method of seeking information called “crowdsourcing” has made information much cheaper to obtain if not free. But then, what is “crowdsourcing”? What is the relation to the internet and information technology? What are the advantages it brings to the society? Is there any challenges of “crowdsourcing”? This essay will discuss and elaborate in details on concept, characteristics, advantages, challenges and future trends of crowdsourcing. INTRODUCTION Jeff Howe, a well-known inventor of the term “crowdsourcing” when it was first use in his article appearing in Wired magazine (Howe, 2006), defined “crowdsourcing” as “the act of taking a job traditionally performed by a designated agent (usually an employee) and outsourcing it to an undefined, generally large group of people in the form of an open call.”...

...Photo Essay: Worth 70 points (Photo Essay 60/Presentation 10) Due April 10, 15, and 17, 2013 Students will be randomly assigned. Getting Started: The majority of your assignments have focused on your writing ability and expressing ideas linguistically. Visual imagery is also a powerful technique for thinking about and reflecting upon the social world. The purpose of this assignment is to encourage you to think about the social world in a different way, more visually than linguistically. For this project, you will select a series of photos that can be meaningfully organized around the central theme of inequality. You are to draw ideas about inequality from the chapters on social class, race/ethnicity, and gender in your text, Our Social World Condensed 2nd (Ballantine and Roberts 2012). Be creative and experimental. The only restriction is that the images must not be illegal and if you are taking the photos in private settings, you must obtain written permission from your subject(s). I have posted a Permission Form in Course Content/Photo Essay on Angel for you to use if you are using personal pictures. The photos may be obtained in various ways. You may shoot photographs specifically for this project or have a friend do so. You may obtain photos through published sources (e.g., books, magazines). You can also search websites for photos. Photos may also be obtained from a stock art archive on the internet. If you choose the latter, one of the best places to start...

...Lance Mayo ENG 101 November 22, 2013 Persuasive Essay An Outlet for Personal Expression Doodles of skulls and flowers or significant works of art? Tattoos often times give people a negative image of others. Despite the message or meaning behind them, some people without them find tattoos to be unprofessional and inappropriate. Permanent body art can be inappropriate in certain settings; especially if they reference profanity, racial, sexist, or obscene thoughts. People are sensitive to those subjects and judge others impartially. Tattoos should not be a deciding factor in an interview or position for a job because tattoos should not measure ones capability of doing work. I believe tattoos are appropriate because they are an outlet for personal expression, and in addition to being meaningful, they also sometimes serve a practical purpose. Hans Hofmann, Pablo Picasso, and Van Gogh are all artists with signature and elaborate styles of painting. They neither conformed to “normal” styles, nor painted “inside the lines”. These famous artists had specific styles that were unique only to themselves. They were portrayals of how they were feeling at the time. With Hans Hofmann's style of repeated shapes and bright colors, Pablo Picasso’s cubism style and Van Gogh’s Starry Night, are all individualized pieces of art very similar to tattoos. Tattoos are less commonly seen as artwork on ones body and more often seen as symbols of being in a band, someone on drugs or...

... Even though technology enriches our lives from many perspectives, it may sometimes negatively affect us socially and academically. I still recall when I got my first iPhone. It was also my introduction to Instagram. Back in middle school, when I was only 15 years old, my dad gave me an iPhone 3GS as a birthday gift. I was already very excited when I saw the pure white box. However, it shocked me more when I started up the phone. The app store had hundreds of apps, which were classified by categories, such as games, music, and lifestyles. At first, I was not sure if I could use such a great number of functions in such a small phone, but when the Wi-Fi was connected, it felt like opening the door to a new world. Then I started to learn how to use these apps and installed them as soon as possible. Among the hundreds of apps, I found Instagram the most attractive, and it has greatly changed my life. This is an app designed to capture and share moments with our iPhones. With Instagram, I can customize photos and videos with one of several gorgeous and custom-built filter...

...meanings are communicated Rhetor: The source of the communication—writer, speaker, filmmaker, photographer, etc. Euphemism: An alternative word choice that alters (usually softens) the rhetorical effect (“die” vs. “pass away” vs. “in a better place”). Different choices of language signal different implications and underlying philosophies. Euphemisms tend to distance the audience from the subject, using more vague and imprecise language (“collateral damage” vs. “unintended killings,” “got the better end of the deal,” vs. “swindled the other guy”). Paraphrase: An alternative phrasing of an author’s original language. Don’t paraphrase simply to pretend an author’s arguments or content are your ideas, or to avoid accusations of plagiarism. Instead, paraphrase in order to reveal something that wasn’t obvious in the author’s original words. Effective paraphrases make the implicit explicit (“What she’s saying here is...”) Always give credit to your sources, even when you paraphrase. Summary: Similar to paraphrase (in that you choose your own words to describe an author’s argument), except in a summary, you compress large portions of text into a much smaller space. You’ll need to choose specific things to focus on in a summary. You aren’t trying to restate every claim and every piece of evidence. Instead, choose smaller parts of the text that are relevant to your work and explain how you want your reader to understand them. Quotation: A rhetor’s exact language reproduced with...

...through the visual semiotics used. We respond, although passively and sometimes unconsciously, to these messages by defining our place and role in society. Furthermore, many times our own self-worth is lavishly filled or enormously plastered by viewing Mac’s propaganda. However, we continue as faithful customers because it is what our society expects from us: to be faithful consumers. Wherefore, the main argument of the proposed essay is that MacCosmetics.com promotes an intangible, vague and an erroneous representation of people in society, specifically in terms of gender roles and self-appraisal. As an active media channel, Mac Beauty Products alludes to selling beauty but in fact their message is one of negativity towards the naturally beautiful. Therefore, the message they denote implicitly is not the same as the one shown explicitly; the characters, the magic of this company, its current status in the market/society, and our own sentiment towards it frame the way we perceive the message and what message we ultimately perceive. This essay will touch on three specifics: Mac’s message on gender roles as portrayed by their advertisements, Mac’s use of implicit visual semiotics to display the message, and Mac’s explicit message, the one heard by all who view their advertisements. Part 1: Mac’s Message on Gender Roles There are several ways we can describe the website and its products. For one, it is beautiful in that colors are positioned in abstract ways, non-traditional...

...MiIntroduction In order to make this essay I had to, first and foremost, to choose the person that I would describe and analyze which was a challenge for me being that I don't know most of the persons in charge of the media institutions in Portugal (and much less from foreign countries). Finally, I decided to chose Público, a journal in Portugal of my liking. Having decided for this media institution I chose to describe the editor-in-chief of the said institution, Bárbara Reis. Description of Bárbara Reis and her most important achievements Bárbara Reis started young, she was only seventeen years old when she tried to follow the path she believed to be hers, becoming a photographer and it was at this time she started working on Expresso, another Portuguese newspaper where she learnt, quoting her own words, how to write. Two years later the newspaper Público was founded and it's founders hired her straight away and there she worked normally for some years until she was twenty-one or twenty-two, even she doesn't know for sure; at this time, she was infuriated at the newspaper publishing in a daily fashion a brief news about children starving in Somalia and expressed her opinion "either we don't talk about this at all or we do something worth doing!" and was overheard by the at the time director of Público who told her "you are absolutely right, go to Somalia" and she went, making a change in her career, staying there for one month. When she was twenty-five, she was offered...

...Sony camera vs Nikon camera marketing strategy STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION The idea behind this continual process is that each step of the planning process requires some degree of implementation before the next stage can begin. This naturally dictates that all implementation cannot be postponed until completion of the plan, but must be initiated along the way. Implementation procedures specific to each phase of planning must be completed during that phase in order for the next stage to be started. Read more: Strategy Formulation - organization, levels, system, advantages, manager, school, company, hierarchy, business http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/management/Sc-Str/Strategy-Formulation.html#ixzz1YzZon4PbImplementation of the strategic plan is the final step for putting it to work for an organization. To be successful, the strategic plan must have the support of every member of the firm. As mentioned in the beginning, this is why the top office must be involved from the beginning. A company's leader is its most influential member. Positive reception and implementation of the strategic plan into daily activities by this office greatly increases the likelihood that others will do the same. Advertising is key to successful implementation of the strategic plan. The more often employees hear about the plan, its elements, and ways to measure its success, the greater the possibility that they will undertake it as part of their daily work lives. It is especially important that...

...SURREALISM Appreciation of Art/Craft/Design 2011 Introduction Everybody has concept about Surrealism. But not everybody knows, how and why it has got art movement, when an artist is part of a movement like Surrealism, I ask a question for myself "Did Surrealism enter to our century?", if yes - "How?". In this essay I’ll discuss about social, economic and political influences of the time when movement born, what influenced this movement and what subsequent influence did this movement have on others? Also I discussion about of one artist who made major contribution to Surrealism - Salvador Dali (1904 - 1989) and try discuss about his artwork "Metamorphosis of Narcissus". Social, economic and political influences of time "Surrealism, was officially born in 1924 in Paris and had virtually become a global phenomenon by the time of it demise in the later 1940s" (Hopkins, 2004, p.15). It was difficult time for all world. Two wars: World War I (1914–1918) and World War II (1939–1945), Europe, as well as the United States, Canada, Australia, and Japan, would experience the effects of the Great Depression. "The early 20th century was a period of tumultuous change. The First World War and the Russian Revolution profoundly altered people’s understanding of their worlds. The discoveries of Freud and Einstein, and the technological innovations of the Machine Age, radically transformed human awareness" (Hopkins, 2004, p.20).

...Strobist Lighting 101 (all text by David Hobby, taken from http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/03/lighting-101.html, version 05/06/07) Intimidated by the idea of off-camera lighting? Don't be. We are pretty much starting from scratch, so no worries. The first posts will be about what kind of gear you will need to do the minimalist strobe thing. When we are done having our way with your wallet (remembering that light gives you far more bangfor-the-buck than does fast glass or the latest digital camera or 300/2.8) we'll move into basic technique. And after that, we'll keep it going with periodical essays and ideas on how to improve (or refresh) your lighting ability. When you've worked your way through the basics of designing your light kit and learning how to use it, make a point to browse some of the examples in the "On Assignment" section. Those will be updated constantly, too. So keep checking back. You will likely have some questions along the way. Sadly, it is not possible for me to take the time to personally answer all of the one-to-one lighting questions that pop up. So try to resist asking them in the comments section. The only people reading this behind you are the people who are, well, behind you. You will find the one-to-one knowledge bank you seek in the Strobist Group on Flickr. There, you can ask away and get the diversity of response that you need. These are the lighting grad students, so to speak. They know this stuff, and are very enthusiastic about sharing...
