...KWASI BOATENG PROF. HAMILTON COMM 11 23 November 2015 Reasoning and Analysis: Identity Management "All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts." This quote by Shakespeare sums up impression management pretty well, it is the controlling or regulation of information in order to guide or influence other's opinions of us for social or personal reasons. People can manage almost anything, but the most common is the impressions that we make on others, which is more specifically termed self-presentation. Impression management online and in person isn't always intentional and-or duplicitous because people often engage in it even when they are not actively attempting to do so. In this age of information and technology it's not surprising that the use and control of information plays a central role in our lives, and that’s exactly what social media is. There are any number of reason why people engage in impression management online and in articles by authors Rosenbloom Stephanie, Safronova Valeriya and Jacquelyn Smith, they each talk, to some degree, about the importance of and a few reasons why people use impression management on social media sites and apps. There are people that use social media as a way to reinvent themselves, they create personas that are in no way similar to who they are in person, but that rarely happens, more often than not, people just create a persona...

...Content Intoduction 3 Why do customers complain? 3 Complaints are a goldmine of information 6 Why is Complaints Handling Important? 7 Intoduction A consumer complaint or customer complaint is “an expression of dissatisfaction on a consumer’s behalf to a responsible party”. It can also be described in a positive sense as a report from a consumer providing documentation about a problem with a product or service. In fact, some modern business consultants urge businesses to view customer complaints as a gift. Consumer complaints are usually informal complaints directly addressed to a company or public service provider, and most consumers manage to resolve problems with products and services in this way, but it sometimes requires persistence. If the grievance is not addressed in a way that satisfies the consumer, the consumer sometimes registers the complaint with a third party such as association of the rights of the consumers , a county government (if it has a “consumer protection” office) and etc. These and similar organizations in other countries accept for consumer complaints and assist people with customer service issues, as do government representatives like attorneys general. Consumers however rarely file complaints in the more formal legal sense, which consists of a formal legal process. Internet forums and the advent of social media have provided consumers with a new way to submit complaints. Consumer news and...
