OVERVIEW
Write a 3–4-page assessment in which you examine how advertising manipulates emotions, particularly fear.
Fear is not only a powerful emotion but also a powerful motivator. Advertisers know this and use fear appeal in advertising messages as a tactic to motivate their target audience into behaving in a certain way.

CONTEXT
Another aspect of human functioning—emotion—has proven to be even more challenging to study than cognition. There are so many theories on emotions, but none are all inclusive; therefore, emotions continue to be mysterious, and the study of emotions is considered a work in progress. Emotions appear to be out of conscious control, yet they provide feedback that aids in self-understanding and information about our perceptions of the social world.

It is important to examine the purpose that emotions serve to us as individuals, and how they promote our cultural animal nature (Baumeister & Bushman, 2014). Equally important is looking at how emotions are both helpful and hurtful in decision making, and to what extent our emotions may be manipulated by others, such as in marketing that appeals to emotion. Emotional regulation is part of emotional intelligence. Without an ability to self-regulate emotion, a concept known as affect regulation, emotions can fuel depression, aggression, and other self-defeating behaviors.

Module 3 Conclusion
Through this module’s online lectures and textbook readings, you analyzed how values and ethics are developed. You also evaluated the importance of accepting and managing diversity effectively.
Here are the key points covered:The six value orientations—individualism or collectivism; preferred personality; view of human nature; human-nature relationship; power distance; long-term vs. short-term orientation—all influence how individuals and groups understand and respond to the world, which in turn, affects how they interact with others.In addition to being truthful, ethical communication involves deciding which information can and should be disclosed or withheld as well as assessing the benefits or harm associated with specific messages.Truthfulness plays a fundamental role in ethical communication due to two reasons, you expect messages to be truthful and messages have consequences. The ethical consequences of sharing or withholding information depend on whether it is likely to help people to make informed decisions or not. A message is considered legitimately private when other parties have no right to expect access to it. Finally, to be an effective communicator, you have to discern the benefits or harm associated with your messages.The process of determining ethical choices and decisions can be based on both individual perspective and communal perspective. When ethics are discussed in an organizational context, the rights of the individual, such as the right to free speech or privacy, assume importance. However, a communal approach focuses on the common good or the best interests of the entire community. The morality of an action is assessed based on its consequences for the group.The three barriers to accepting diversity include preconceptions or lack of knowledge, stereotyping, and prejudice. These internal barriers however, can be overcome by increasing motivation, increasing knowledge of self and others, and avoiding stereotypes.Diversity can enhance your interpersonal effectiveness by increasing your opportunities, enhancing your abilities at work, and improving your self-awareness.
Diversity; Interpersonal Effectiveness
Learning about and accepting diversity can improve your interpersonal effectiveness and increase your personal and professional opportunities. It also allows you to widen your circle of friends and acquaintances and may even open up new business opportunities by helping you work in or manage diverse work groups.
Learning about diversity can increase your effectiveness at work. It can also help improve your ability to communicate with colleagues and customers or clients who differ from you. This may pave the way for organizational rewards and opportunities. In addition, accepting diversity and honing your skills in this area can enhance your self-awareness. Part of accepting and understanding diversity is the ability to understand and critique your own cultural beliefs and values. This understanding ...

In the language of social psychology, pro-social behaviors are those that promote the well-being of members of society and society as a whole, such as cooperation, fairness, helping, and forgiveness, while antisocial behavior is behavior that is dismissive or harmful to others. Aggression and violence are part of antisocial behavior; however, antisocial behavior also includes behaviors such as cheating, lying, littering, and stealing (Baumeister & Bushman, 2014).

NICE Initiative Whitepaper 2 -Reflections on Storytelling by Penina Rybak Penina Rybak
Storytelling is an age old educational and newly re-purposed digital marketing technique that’s been “rediscovered” by social media and communications management gurus and thought leaders. Everyone loves a good story. Stories are important because they provide patterns
of a life lived and patterns to embrace or reject, depending on the outcome. Stories give us concrete examples of a sequence of events, a way of problem solving, and a blueprint of a script for you to follow or deviate from when embarking on your own script. Whether on a quest for truth, justice, or The American Dream, chances are there’s a story for that embedded in a book, movie, TV show, or video game app.Harnessing the power of storytelling, of identifying archetypes, and implementing that knowledge, together with your resiliency, will help you transition from me to we, especially when it comes to entrepreneurship and marketing yourself in terms of your service or product. It enables you to learn from others, empathize with them, and become more flexible and adaptive when your own story changes and/or intersects with another’s.
2. compassion Com•pas•sion(kѳm-păsh'ѳn) - “[T]o actually get in the middle of the mess” 1 (Kendrick, Kendrick & Catt, 2009:29); Extending oneself beyond sympathy, pity or empathy; Giving aid, support/or showing mercy 2 (Houghton Mifflin Company, 1995:228) 1 This definition of compassion is expressed by authors Kendrick, Kendrick & Catt in Dare To Love: 8 Reasons To Take The Love Dare, a companion booklet for The Love Dare Bible Study and the movie Fireproof. 2 as expressed in the Webster’s II New College Dictionary
Based upon my future career path (as outlined on Slide 4), I chose the Bachelor of Studies degree with three areas of concentration – English, Business and Sociology. This degree plan allowed me to choose the coursework that I felt would prove most beneficial to me on my chosen career path. Most importantly, the BCGS program allowed me to integrate each of the applicable disciplines and develop a versatile knowledge base, thus making me more marketable in this rapidly changing world and market. I would agree that there are some career paths that do require specialization of knowledge; however, many business sectors, (particularly nonprofits), demand constant adjustments, the ability to multi-task and wear multiple ‘hats’ (so-to-speak).
