The 4 Myths About Millennials & The Keys to Their SuccessMichael E. Parker
Michael E. Parker, an expert, entrepreneur and public speaker, shares four popular myths that are applied to millennials, as well as the key to their personal and professional success. Please visit MichaelEParker.net to learn more.
Workplace politics is the use of power and networking within an organization to achieve personal benefits. Workplace politics is highly influenced by individuals and often serves personal interests without regard of its effect on the organization.
Some of the personal advantages may include access to tangible assets, or intangible benefits such as status or pseudo-authority that can influences the behaviour of others.
Workplace politics is similar to a game as it requires careful assessment & assumption of risk. One should play the game of politics with diligence and a full understanding of the players and their capabilities.
Playing the game of workplace politics is inevitable, and extremely exhausting. In a politically charged work environment, extreme effort have to be put forth in order to simply ensure that WORK to be done has maximum priority other than personal agenda

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Constructing a
questionnaire
A questionnaire provides a tool for eliciting
information which you can tabulate and
discuss. In many evaluations, a questionnaire
serves as the major source of information.
Writing questions and constructing a question-
naire takes time and attention. Before you
begin, it is essential to know what kind of evi-
dence you need to fulfill the purpose of the
study and to know how the information will be
used.
■ Make a list of what you want to know.
What do you really want to find out?
What do you want to achieve with the
questionnaire?
■ Check to see if the information you need is
already available somewhere else.
■ DonÕt ask a question unless it has a use;
that is, unless it relates to the purpose of
the study. Collecting too much information
adds to your time and expenses and can
produce an information overload.
Eliminate all the Ònice to knowÓ items that
arenÕt really essential. Eliminate ambigu-
ous questions as well.
■ From the beginning, think through what
you will do with each piece of information.
What do you want to be able to say? Do
you expect to use frequencies, percentages,
rankings, multivariate analysis, narrative
remarks?
■ As you write questions, try to view them
through your respondentsÕ eyes.
Will the question be seen as
reasonable?
Will it infringe on the respondentÕs
privacy?
Will the respondent be able and willing
to answer the question?
■ Be selective and realistic. Know what
information is needed, why, and how you
plan to use it.
Kinds of
information
A questionnaire can help you obtain informa-
tion about what people do, what they have,
what they think, know, feel, or want.
Four different types of information may be dis-
tinguished. Any one or a combination of these
types may be included in a questionnaire.

Interviewing Guidelines
Please look through these guidelines for developing and conducting interviews.
Beginning the Interview
Start the interview with general questions. Begin by asking the interviewees to describe their
high school, what it was like, its size, what communities it served, and other information that you
think might provide context for the interviewees’ responses. For example, you might ask if it was
a politically homogeneous or heterogeneous community in terms of whether most students
supported similar political candidates and had the similar positions on particular issues. Once
you think some context has been established, ask the interviewees general questions about
their civic education in high school.
Middle of the Interview
At this point, you should be asking them about the use of digital media in their high school civic
education.
Ending the Interview
To end the interview, ask your interviewees what they would have liked to see in their civic
education; or, if they have any suggestions on how it could have been improved or made more
meaningful.
Sample Questions
You may use only two of these questions and come up with at least three of your own interview
questions that are informed by readings and lectures. Please note: the bulleted questions are to
be used for probing. In interviews, it is good begin with open questions, giving the interviewees
liberty to respond as they see fit. If their response does not answer your question, then ask the
question in a different manner, or probe. Probing questions are follow-up questions that you
may have about the interviewees’ responses, such as: why and how questions, asking them to
explain or describe, etc. In the sample questions below, I added some probing questions in case
the interviewees’ responses are vague or brief.
Interview Question Sample #1
Did you take a civics course in high school? Tell me about some of the activities that you
participated in that reflect your civic education. If their answer is brief, you might probe by asking
questions such as:
Were you required to complete a service learning project in your community that was tied to
what you were learning in your civics course? Tell me about it.
Please tell me about any other activities that supported your civic and political engagement in
and out of school.
What are some activities that you think you would have benefited from if practiced in school?
Did any of these experiences impact your interest in or knowledge regarding civic or political
engagement? If so, how?
Interview Question Sample #2
In your civic education course or any other courses, were you encouraged to use digital media
to learn about current events, political issues, etc.? Explain.
Were you encouraged to investigate issues that matter to you?
Interview Question Sample #3
Please tell me about how educators can improve civic education of youth in this digital age.

It has been said that Social Media is the future of advertising. .docxchristiandean12115
It has been said that Social Media is the future of advertising. What is your opinion of social media? Does it empower or exploit?
I believe that Social Media can be both and operates on a fine line. For those over the age of 18, you are aware of the information you are putting out there and the privacy levels of which it is shown. I personally am not bothered by the targeted advertising of which social media is the vehicle because I choose what I participate in and what information I am offering up. For the younger audience that is less aware and more malleable it can work both ways. It can be a great outlet to further self expression, but it can also be detrimental in influencing young minds to look to external sources for self acceptance.
Is social media really worth the kind of money that investors are paying?
Yes, as we move away from print and cable, social media and streaming services are becoming the easiest way to get marketing impressions. If done successfully, items or campaigns trend and reach a huge audience for a lower cost.
Explain what “Like”ing someone’s post on Facebook means to you.
For me "like"ing is a way for me to express my interest in something someone shared. I am fairly selective about liking and only do so when I agree with something, fing entertainment from the content, or have an emotional connection to something shared. I only like content that resonates with me. For some others I think "like"ing something is just a way to identify they read or watched the content and were listening.
Does knowing others “Like” what you “Like” influence you? Explain.
I would not say it particularly influences whether I like something, but does expose or impress upon me new content I might be interested in. I find I enjoy content of those who have common "likes" since we have similar taste. Facebook actually use an algorithm to gear your feed to show content of those who you "like" more. For example, during the presidential elections you likely got more content that agreed with your viewpoints as you liked others who had similar viewpoints and that content then got prioritized on your feed. This can be good because you may not be interested in content of which does not resonate with you, but also bad in limiting your viewpoint.
How do companies use social media to advertise?
Mostly, social media is used by companies to produce targeted marketing through big data or as a vehicle to create trendy content that catches like wildfire. For example, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, which raised awareness and donations for ALS by inciting popular content people wanted to be involved in. Marketing till social media was largely hands off, now it's all about the power of the people.
Is social media empowering or exploiting teens?
I think it can be on both ends of the spectrum. From their perspective I think most teens feel they now have a vehicle for their voice and a way to express themselves. From a more adult perspective I.

Social responsibility includes intercultural competence, knowled.docxsamuel699872
Social responsibility includes intercultural competence, knowledge of civic responsibility, and the ability to engage effectively in regional, national, and global communities, including the workplace. These skills are rated highest as desirable skills among hiring managers.
Intercultural competence includes
:
Knowledge of your own culture and how it has shaped your world view.
Knowledge of significant characteristics of other cultures.
Awareness of differences and similarities in cultures.
Ability to adjust your actions to successfully interact with someone of another culture.
How do we continuously improve our intercultural competence? First, by understanding that intercultural competence is complex, and it requires growing and maturing in three areas: mind set, heart set, and skill set.
Mindset
is the domain where as we learn and engage with others, we recognize similarities and differences. A growth mind set requires self-awareness and cultural awareness.
Heart set
is the domain where we learn to acknowledge, appreciate, and accept cultural differences. There are six dimensions to your heart set:
Self esteem
Self-monitoring
Empathy
Open mindedness
Reserved judgment
Social relaxation
Listening
Skill set
involves our intercultural agility; the ability to adjust your actions to successfully interact with someone of another culture. Specific skills include message skills, appropriate self-disclosure, behavioral flexibility, and interaction management.

It seems as though we are living in a time where it has become politically correct to throw low-blows and have unfair fights just to take the lead or stand out the most. In political races we see this all the time, politicians talk bad, make accusations on the other, and dig up any dirt they can find. Even if it is just the extended family members of the other. To me the more one political candidate throws dirt or low blows it makes them look bad. Not the face of America. Even professionals in the media have changed their ways of communication from professional to more laid back. I was once watching the news and one individual reported and said that the victim was "leaving his baby-momma house". So many viewers called into to the Viewers Voice and complained about how Shawn Rabb has reported the news unprofessionally, he is ghetto, and so much more. However the term "baby-momma" is more common than "mother of my children". Its the language of the culture that is changing. Working as a Juvenile Detention Officer I hear all types of synonyms. Some I used as a kid and others I need the meaning of and if they cant tell me what it means they can not use it.

After reading the activity, some on the panel view the court's role in making social policy as a good trade off because they can explore and identify the benefits of shaping it. Others disagree because judicial activism fails to obey higher court precedents due to personal preferences. Social policy is about the well-being of all us as a society. Social policy analyzes the decisions the courts and government make to look at who gets what and why to help us overcome the social impact of issues like gun control, marriage, alleviating poverty, improving people’s health and income.

Mayor Martin Heines
City of Tyler
P.O. Box 2039
Tyler, TX, 75710
Dear Mayor Haynes:
The continuance of America’s heritage hinges on the involvement of each generation in the political and civic spheres of society. Today, this hinge is rusty and in need of repair. Richard Fry, a senior researcher for Pew Research Center, writes that “this year, the ‘Millennial’ generation is projected to surpass the outsized Baby Boom generation as the nation’s largest living generation.” Yet the Millennial generation, aged eighteen to thirty-four years old this year, is cynical towards government and apathetic towards voting and civic involvement.
In a study released April 29th by Harvard University’s Institute of Politics entitled “Survey of Young Americans’ Attitudes Toward Politics and Public Service,” only 21% of young Americans view themselves as “politically engaged” and 34% “volunteer in community service.” These facts are troubling. As of this year, an overwhelming majority of this new largest generation of Americans is not politically involved and does not volunteer in the local community. It is time for local government to step in and do what it can to engage its new constituent majority. I suggest that a new city-wide initiative be adopted, targeted toward the Millennial generation’s age group as potential members, for which the City of Tyler may provide an executive committee, office and staff structure, and financial grants, with the mission of providing a way to bring together, activate, and empower Tyler’s young adults to become increasingly involved in their community and participate in the political sphere.
In order to achieve this proposal, the Tyler City Council must adopt an initiative to attract young leaders in the community and engage their involvement. This would include setting up an organizational structure consisting of an executive committee with a Tyler City Council member as chair. It might also be helpful to install you as an honorary co-chair in this committee. There would be standing committees governing specific departments necessary to the project such as a marketing committee, membership committee, and events committee. Temporary committees may be formed as needed. Full-time staff would be necessary to put the committee’s decisions into action, establishing partnerships within the community such as nonprofits and elected officials, and sponsoring education initiatives for political involvement. The staff would take full advantage of social media including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram—favorite outlets and sources of information for Millennials. These networks can be used to further spread the word about events and opportunities made available. Memberships would be granted free of charge to Tyler residents, and others who have a vested interest in Tyler. They must be willing to sign a pledge to be ...

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
