...Milestone 1-3 Social Networking at Disney DeVry University Fall 2011 Social Networking at Disney ------------------------------------------------- Milestone 1 Problem: Is social networking actually working? Costs of using social networking are almost free, but with the increasing popularity, this is now a full-time position(s). Are the costs worth the return in investment? Approach: Milestone 1 will focus on Walt Disney World Parks, Disney Cruise Line, and Disney Vacation Club’s social networking on Facebook. I will review their posts during the first part of November, and give my opinion on the best, average, and worst posts based on the number of likes. I will also analyze each of those posts with the stats, and my opinion if it is a good business decision for social networking. Methodology: Disney posts many postings on Facebook each day.

...in their quality of life. If this is not the reason, then why else does the compelling need for feat exist? Just like everyone else, I have a dream for success. For my future I want to see myself fruitful in pursuing what I desire to do – dermatology. However, being successful to me isn’t about fulfilling selfish desires, it also entails helping others. As a future doctor, I yearn to be adept of sharing my knowledge with people that need it. In order for me to get to that level, I must endure strong adversity from a superior educational environment and achieve outstanding grades. I must also be able to stand up on my own feet and be independent, which has been a struggle for me ever since I was young. Growing up, I always had to fight for everything I wanted or believed in. I felt in any situation that I was the odd one out. I felt different, and that everyone else was a team that was out to get me. Since I was young I have always been a very timid, quiet child. However, I was very compassionate towards others and was that one friend who was always there to help. My parents and friends would often tell me to “have a spine” and to stand up for myself. I had never really felt the need to do so, as I thought that it was easier just to ignore and move on, and to just go with whatever people say. I had been a very intelligent child, making my parents proud in every way I could. As I grew older, I started losing myself into peer pressure and I largely based myself on the influence...

Expectations and Influences The expectations and influences of Generation X and Y impact the workforce differently in many ways because of life experiences and backgrounds. Generation X, born between 1965 and 1980 grew up in the shadows of the boomer generation. Generation Y, born between 1981 and 2000 were raised by parents who wanted more for their children. Parents of both generations wanted to see their children go to college and attain careers they could enjoy rather than enduring the same work cycle as generations past. Generation X and Y were the first generations to come in contact with computers in school. This explosion of the technological age...

...Many people today find themselves in unfulfilling work situations. In fact, one in four workers is dissatisfied with their current job, according to the recent "Plans for 2004" survey by CareerBuilder.com. Their career path may be financially rewarding, but it doesn't meet their emotional, social or creative needs. They're stuck, unhappy, and have no idea what to do about it, except move to another job. Mary Lyn Miller, veteran career consultant and founder of the Life and Career Clinic, says that when most people are unhappy about their work, their first thought is to get a different job. Instead, Miller suggests looking at the possibility of a different life. Through her book, "8 Myths of Making a Living," as well as workshops, seminars and personal coaching and consulting, she has helped thousand of dissatisfied workers re-assess life and work. Like the way of Zen, which includes understanding of oneself as one really is, Miller encourages job seekers and those dissatisfied with work or life to examine their beliefs about work and recognize that, "in many cases your beliefs are what brought you to where you are today." You may have been raised to think that women were best at nurturing and caring and, therefore, should be teachers and nurses. So that's what you did. Or, perhaps you were brought up to believe that you should do what your father did, so you have taken over the family business, or become a dentist "just like dad." If this sounds familiar, it's probably time...

...field where the most capable and hardworking individuals regardless of ethnicity or social classes have an equal opportunity to rise to the top. While the State has always heralded the success of meritocracy, the systemic flaws and failures that were once side-lined in the public eye are becoming increasingly prevalent and visible today. This paper on “Examining Meritocracy and Elitism in Singapore” serves to explore the inherent contradictions within the concept of meritocracy and investigate the systemic failures arising from the dissonance caused by how meritocracy is practised in Singapore where the inevitable social and income inequalities results in an elitist system which perpetuates itself. The central research question is how meritocracy shapes the Singapore elite and in turn how the elite shapes meritocracy in the country. In this paper, the elite is defined as the class of English-educated Singaporeans who subsequently rises to the top as the political and bureaucratic elite, unless otherwise specified. This paper will discuss how the elite accumulates an increasing degree and concentration of influence which allows them to consolidate their dominance over the rest of society, as well as its attendant consequences. This paper will thus illustrate how instead of seeking to bridge the social divide, the elites’ privileged and entrenched position actually leads to limiting social mobility as they continue to safeguard their self-interests. II. MERITOCRACY...

...connect us more to the music, but, as Derek Thompson (author of The Shazam Effect) shows and author Sherry Turkle (Connectivity and its Discontents) would much agree, will be to put us into a purgatorial feedback loop, holding us back from both socialization and any further progression into whatever the next era of music and technology would hold for us. We no longer find music an appropriate excuse or reason to interact with new people or to start up a public discussion, causing us to form increasingly more anti-social habits. There is no more personal interaction or connection with the music and the artists making it. If we do not care about them, then why would they care about us? The creativity and love has been taken out of it, only to be replaced by the detrimental notion of quantity over quality. Think of the last time you were in a public social setting (ie: a restaurant, bar, public transportation, etc.). There was music playing, correct? Say a song were to come on that you really enjoyed yet had never heard before. Do you turn to the table or person next to you and to ask them if they know the song? Do you ask the server or bartender? The answer, I argue, would be absolutely never. You whip out your smart phone and open the Shazam app and in seconds have the artist’s name, the song name, and a link to where you can go to download it. You hit...

...Are Social Networking Sites Good for Our Society? 6/1/2012 | Are Social Networking sites good for our society? Abstract This analysis examines how people today use social networking for more than just staying in touch with friends and family. The data that was collected for this report was through multiple methods, such as surveys, online reading, and personal interviews. The data in this report represents how people start out using social networks just to keep in touch with friends and family only to realize that there are others out there that are using it for something more. Through research I have found that what starts out as something so innocent for most of us there are those out there that use it for personal gain and illegal activities. Introduction: What influences a person’s desires to start using social networking sites? Since the beginning people have believed that social networking was the best way to stay in touch with those you care about. While that may be true for most people it has become increasing obvious that it is not that way for some others. Nowadays people think that it’s okay to share what you are doing on a minute, hourly, or even a daily basis. Depending on who your “friends” are that can be just fine, but what happens when you share too much and with the wrong people? Are your “friends” the only one that can see what you’re sharing? How much of your personal information is available through these sites? Social networking...

...Personal thinking styles are significant to perceptions of everyday life. My primary personal style was passive defensive style and avoidance was my highest expressive style. My primary style avoidance is manifested through my life and work practically. When I'm at work, as soon as I clock in, I go directly to my designated room and fulfill my job description as the teen coordinator. In the workplace I tend to have difficulty establishing relationships with Co-workers from past experience. I'm not a very cordial person. Me being able to communicate more openly to others takes time of getting to know a person. I tend to be very independent especially if a very important project is expected from me. When I'm not at work I tend to day dream and think allot about my what my next steps are. I walk with my head straight ahead and my face unknowingly tense. My avoidance style stated that I doubt my ability to accomplish tasks effectively. I agree with the statement, I don't have confidence in myself. It also stated that...

...Speaking on the front of all IT students, we use lot of technology, coding everyday, but have we paused a while to think, who were the pioneers, who walked that extra step to make this happen! After a small minute research I have collaborated some data, that might be helpful for you to figure out who's who! :) Beginning with my favorite coding language, JavaScript, the person behind this was Brendan Eich. Moving to Java, it was James Gosling's dream come true. The most popular one, C was the work of Dennis Ritchie. Adding two plus signs to it, C++ was created by Bjarne Stroustrup. Then its PERL, the work of Larry Wall. SQL was designed by Donald D. Chamberlin & Raymond F. Boyce. Moving forward, Python was designed by Guido van Rossum. And the last and famous coding language used by masses, PHP, was designed by Rasmus Lerdorf The World Economic Forum's Technology Pioneers programme recognizes companies, normally in a start-up phase, from around the world that are involved in the design, development and deployment of new technologies, and hold promise of significantly impacting the way business and society operate. Technology Pioneers must demonstrate visionary leadership and show signs of being long-standing market leaders – their technology must be proven.
