...To: Whom It May Concern Date: May 17, 2013 Re: Whistleblower Incidence Whistle-blowing is the activity of a person telling the general public or a person of authority something dishonest or illegal occurring within their organization. Many individuals end up facing severe consequences in the form of backlash from their organization. Over fifteen years ago, Joanna Gualtieri, a former foreign affairs realty portfolio manager, spoke up about lavish spending in the form of accommodation abroad for staff that was a part of foreign affairs. Reports from the Inspector General and Auditor general evidenced her claims. Some of the spending she observed was an eighteen million dollar mansion in Tokyo which remained empty for several years. The individual who was supposed to stay in it rented luxury properties spending up to $350,000 of government money a year. Another instance was a million dollar condominium owned by the crown in which the Ambassador’s Japanese butler and chef lived. At the time, she stated the bureau did not care and was reduced to a low-level job due to her claims. Her superiors ignored her and censored reports that described how the government’s multi-million dollar properties were being improperly used. She was harassed by three of her bosses and eventually ended up on unpaid medical leave. Some of the harassment she faced included: * Nay-saying of her concerns and claims * Ridicule to her dedication and stewardship * Forbiddance of...

As well as procuring new clients, it will also help the company reassure and build confidence in the current clients. Lifestyle, sponsorship and even marketing are what Radiance should focus on; these are extremely important aspects to any company. These areas help to ensure a firm not only care about the community but garnering profit as well. The venues would include such places as training facilities and gyms. However, they should place their marketing wisely as to not encourage children to believe their bodies are anything less than what they should be given the amount of influence that any type of media has on the perception of young people.

The steps to take would be; make absolutely certain the public relations are dealt with, build a campaign that show empathy but tell the story as the company sees it, take steps that will improve the image of the company. While waiting for time to pass would seem like the reasonable solution, “waiting for time to pass would be a bad idea (Kang & Sakai, 2000); the damage is done and the company has let it slide which gives the public the idea that the company is culpable. Radiance would see either positive...

...an education. We who are privileged in receiving an education, having public safety, and being able to enjoy freedom of speech don’t realize what our brothers and sisters in other parts of the world go through. It’s important to think about how our lives compare to the lives of other people around the world and in comparing myself to Malala, I hope to show the importance of an education, public safety, and the freedom of rights. What is education? Education is the most important aspect of a person’s life. It’s fruits and benefits are endless. An education develops a human being and it improves the well being of an individual. In today’s society, having an education can lead to a more better quality life. Unfortunately, in some places around the world, getting an education is looked upon as a crime, especially for women in Pakistan. Through Malala’s story, we are able to see the struggle and hardships for kids from getting an education. I’m able to realize how fortunate I am as receiving an education has always been there for me. Growing up, I’ve moved from place to place and thankfully, education has been available wherever I’ve been. The importance of an education cannot be put in words as it is highly valuable in the modern world. What do you think of when you hear Public Safety? One may think of a policeman, other’s firemen. The kind of public safety that I’m talking about is public violence. Public violence...

...group. The purpose of doing that was to see how it affect others responses. The company posted a blog stating how sorry they were on how the paper was described and may have caused any anxiety to others. According to Abc7 News (2015), "I don't think there's any way to overstate this -- you just simply do not play with people's emotions without asking their permission first," said consumer psychologist Kit Yarrow (6). I believe there should have been a better way of doing this research for the sake of all people and their feelings. Facebook’s ethical obligation in their communications to the general public is to be truthful, respect privacy, deception and the right to be informed. Facebook gives individuals the power to share as part of their mission to make connections with others. However, Facebook has not yet responded to the general public nor the researchers due to allegations being made. There is a policy that states how information is collected and how it is used and shared. Due to the way ethics of Facebook study was conducted, there was no effective communication in terms of establishing credibility. Gajos (2014), “Although Facebook maintained this experiment was “for science,” many users were shocked, outraged, and troubled as they realized the extent to which Facebook owns their private information and how willing they are to use it.” (para. 1).

...that email worked around the globe causing more damage than any virus may have wrecked. From magazines to CNN, Intel received negative reviews. There was even an on slot of jokes about Intel. Throughout the media mania, Intel was still in denial about the seriousness of the situation. Intel announced that the error would only happen once in a billion on random FPU devices & that a spread sheet user would only encounter a subtle flaw once every 27,000 years. Whether this was true or not was up for debate, but for the general public it was not what should have been addressed. People wanted to know they were buying products from a quality company who would listen and rectify a customer’s complaint. Ultimately, Intel had to publicly admit the problem & offer a solution. Intel would replace the offending chip only for those who could prove that they needed the chip replacement for complex mathematical calculations & needed accuracy.

...Laurie Ewart J3400 Reflection Paper #1 9/18/13 Secondary Research-Chapter 5 As public relations professional, research would be one of the most important aspects of your career. Research should be your first step before launching a new product or marketing plan. If you fail to do the research first, you risk wasting a great deal of time and money on your project. Researching your target marketing is a huge benefit. Secondary research is essentially a summary of data that has already been collected. If you have a question to answer you can easily access the data and analyze it in order to get the answer you are looking for. This is opposed to primary data, which you would have to conduct new research to get the information you need. While secondary research seems to take much less effort, it still had its advantages and disadvantages. One of the main advantages to secondary research is that it is cost and time effective. Since you will not have to conduct the research you would have very little money and time in simply accessing the data from another source. The amount of time you would save by not conducting research you can now spend on analyzing data or any other areas of your plan that it is needed. Another advantage to secondary research is that you have several different sources that you can utilize to find your data. There are many websites that offer this type of information. One of the largest drawbacks of secondary research is that the results are usually...
