You daughter has been doing a wonderful job of turning her homework in on time, and fully completion.

I feel that we can overcome this with a small discussion and arriving at an outcome that work for everyone in the classroom. I look...

Do you think that it is likely that Lynn will continue to use physical punishment while living here in the U.S.? Why or why not? As Lynn headed out to go shopping, she already knew her four-year-old son was in a bad mood. All that day he had been doing all that he could to frustrate her. First, he chose not to eat breakfast and then he spilled apple juice all over the carpet. He categorically refused to put on his red jacket and continuously tried to unbuckle his seatbelt in the car. Since they had arrived at the shopping mall, he had been whining continuously for 20 minutes and demanding they go to the toy store immediately. The mother’s patience finally ran out...

...2. Identify some possible reasons why RIM management waited more than three days before issuing an official response to the public. Are these reasons justified? Why or why not? * No Public Relations Department RIM’s failure to address their customers after the blackout occurred insinuated “that RIM employees were working-around-the clock to fix the problem. Does this mean that the PR people are engineers as well?” (Davis, 2011). It is possible that RIM didn’t have a public relations department, and did not want to risk issuing a statement that was not culturally sensitive to its diverse user network. “Effective external relations require a sound communication strategy. A company must have a strategy for all of its external relations activities…” (Barrett, 2014). Managing the press is one of those activities. Multination companies such as RIM understand how misunderstandings can occur by not recognizing cultural differences (Barrett, 2014). Therefore, rather than issue a statement that may have been offensive to users in certain countries, RIM chose to remain silent. * Can’t identify the cause of the blackout RIM had a good reputation amongst its customers that was built on “the notion of service and reliability and when all else fails your BlackBerry will still work” (Bigus, 2012). RIM did not know what had caused the blackout, and rather than damage its reputation they waited until a possible cause had been identified before addressing the public. “External...

...Question 2c Different Audiences can respond differently to the same media text for a range of reasons. Some could have oppositional readings and instantly disagree with what creators wanted the text to convey and its intended meaning. This could be down to many reasons such as the fact that they could have different backgrounds, ethnicities, beliefs and different experiences to what the producer is trying to show us, not allowing for a relatable or identifiable text or situation to provide and support the user gratification theory. Another factor could be purely down to the age of the viewer, they may not understand or agree, or wish to conform with what is being shown on screen. For example, the 2015 John Lewis advert would appeal to very different audiences. Typically a white, British, middle class, family orientated person would share a dominant reading and would ratify and agree with the producer’s intending meaning, as the John Lewis Christmas ‘persona’ has such a valuable part in Christmas culture in the middle classes, they would dismiss any obvious flaws such as space and science constraints and dive into a world of childish, Christmas fun in the touching way the producer intended. This would ensure the Middle class’s continued custom within the John Lewis department store chain. However, a Black, lower class citizen, not astute with British culture and subculture may not be able to relate to the advert and therefore not establish or continue custom at John Lewis. The...
