The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was started to raise awareness and funds for ALS/Lou Gehrig's disease. It involves dumping a bucket of ice water on one's head and challenging others to do the same within 24 hours, or donate to ALS research. The challenge went viral on social media in 2014, with many celebrities participating. It significantly increased donations to ALS associations, with $98.2 million donated from July to August 2014 compared to $2.7 million the prior year. The challenge also dramatically grew visits to ALS association websites and the Wikipedia page on ALS.
The internet and social media have fueled our obsession with celebrities by allowing constant access to their lives. Through platforms like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, we can follow celebrities and feel connected to their lavish lifestyles from our phones. Some fans become deeply involved in online fandom communities, which can negatively impact their mental health and relationships. While celebrities aim to cultivate die-hard followers, the always-on culture of digital media may be creating a narcissistic generation that seeks fame through self-promotion.
Digital media is impacting religion, behavior, politics, and education. Regarding religion, social media allows for religious groups, pages, and accounts on platforms like Facebook. Radio and websites also provide religious content. Media influences behavior through social cognitive theory by learning from others' actions. Violent TV can increase feelings of danger and aggression. Politically, social media helps organize protests and campaigns. It also influences elections by allowing youth to connect with candidates. Both positive and negative effects of social media on education are seen, such as collaboration versus distraction from studying.

The child's imagination drives the wish experience, which can involve traveling, meeting celebrities, receiving gifts, or helping others. In 2013 alone, over 226,000 children benefited from having their heartfelt wish granted.

The document discusses the history and operations of the Harilela family business in Hong Kong. It began in 1922 when Naroomal Mirchandani left India for China and established a trading company. His sons later expanded into textiles and acquired contracts to make British uniforms after WWII. In 1960 they diversified into hotels, buying their first property. They continued expanding their hotel portfolio, realizing it was more profitable than textiles.

Memo Example - Crisis Approach to ManagementMatt Gilhooly
For this assignment, I wrote a memo to the management of a large community hospital. Our prompt was:
In this scenario, you are the PR director for a large community hospital. An employee has come to you and said that people in her neighborhood are angry that the hospital is planning to tear down some historic buildings to make way for the hospital's proposed new women's health clinic. She said the local Historical Commission is planning to picket the hospital on July 4. They will be joined by another group of neighbors who are worried about noise and the traffic mess that will tie up their neighborhood for more than a year. Your CEO thinks this new clinic will be a boon to the neighborhood, which has become somewhat rundown in recent years. So he is dismissing the complaints from the neighbors, despite the growing number of negative posts on social media.
Your assignment is to draft a memo to management with the following information:
1. Describe the situation briefly.
2. Identify any reputational or financial risks you have identified.
3. Recommend two short-term and two long-term strategies the hospital should take to mitigate damage.

Lifecycle of a GME Trader: From Newbie to Diamond Handsmediavestfzllc
Your phone buzzes with a Reddit notification. It's the WallStreetBets forum, a cacophony of memes, rocketship emojis, and fervent discussions about Gamestop (GME) stock. A spark ignites within you - a mix of internet bravado, a rebellious urge to topple the hedge funds (remember Mr. Mayo?), and maybe that one late-night YouTube rabbit hole about tendies. You decide to YOLO (you only live once, right?).
Ramen noodles become your new best friend. Every spare penny gets tossed into the GME piggy bank. You're practically living on fumes, but the dream of a moonshot keeps you going. Your phone becomes an extension of your hand, perpetually glued to the GME ticker. It's a roller-coaster ride - every dip a stomach punch, every rise a shot of adrenaline.
Then, it happens. Roaring Kitty, the forum's resident legend, fires off a cryptic tweet. The apes, as the GME investors call themselves, erupt in a frenzy. Could this be it? Is the rocket finally fueled for another epic launch? You grip your phone tighter, heart pounding in your chest. It's a wild ride, but you're in it for the long haul.

5. Objective

a cure of the disease
Secondary objective: Spread awareness
about ALS
6. Who started the challenge?
Patients Pete Frates, Pat Quinn, Anthony Senerchia and
their families believed this and they challenged themselves
to combat this degenerative and silent disease with
something light, fun and easy.
And to leverage the power of the social graph to make it
spread like wildfire. ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was born.
7. Campaign Strategy & Execution
The campaign rolled out slowly but strategically,
The challenge dared folks to dump a bucket of ice water over their heads, post the video
on Facebook, tag a friend to do the same & donate money if you want
The friends of the family accepted the challenge, then it spread to adjacent
communities, then new cities, then new countries, then athletes & celebrities etc.
The rest they say is history!

11. Campaign highlights
• The fact that zero penny was spent but 220 million was raised is an
achievement in itself
• The ALS association has continued the campaign and still urge people
to take the challenge every August
• Participation of celebrities has given the campaign a boost
Campaign lowlights
• Not many know that it was done for a cause and had to donate some
money
• The campaign lost its message when it travelled from one country to
another and became more of a game people challenged for.
• Though the campaign received a good response for some time but it
could not sustain its hype.
