Course Objective

    Use evidence, some of which may be derived from personal experience and field research, to demonstrate an awareness of a larger conversation and multiple viewpoints surrounding an issue.

I w        I would interpret this objective as understanding how you can use personal experience to develop an idea or theory, along with using other evidence. Personal experience can be a great tool to use when conducting research. Informing the reader of your understanding of a topic can make the writing feel personal and connect the reader more to who you, the author, are as a person. This is a part of the class objectives, so we can understand and demonstrate how we, as writers, can implement our own understanding and form ideas, and how that can be used to change our writing. We also need to understand and know how to use evidence that we may find, develop, and write about different ideas.


            When we use our own experiences in our writing, we can have a larger conversation about different topics and provide different viewpoints surrounding an issue. This can be a great skill to learn to improve writing and can help in a professional job setting by showing that you can take evidence and other means to develop a plan or theory, and show that you can have multiple points of reference when, for example, creating a plan for a home. Still, the homeowners want something changed in the plan, but have limitations due to different codes. Using both tools can help you plan and offer new solutions to fit both needs in design. 


I w    I will learn to use problem-solving and communication skills to write about different viewpoints and ideas correctly. I think including a fact about the opposing side when writing a persuasion piece makes your writing more impactful and gives the reader another viewpoint. I will need to understand the best way to articulate my personal experiences into a writing piece and figure out if they work with what I am trying to say in my writing. I will then feel like I understand this course objective well.

Introduction

       Growing up, you always hear about the usual occupations a kid could want. Well, mine was to be a singer, and although that might not be the most common everyday job, my ten-year-old self was determined to make it work. Once I got older and became more realistic with my future goals, I knew I wanted to do something that helped people somehow. In high school, I started working at a restaurant where I was a busser, and later worked there for another three years, and started my first serving job. That job was the first time I got to experience firsthand what it can be like to work in the human services industry and how rewarding it can feel to make someone's day.      Whether befriending a regular or something simple like remembering their drink order, it always felt good to let people know I valued and remembered them. This feeling was something I wanted to think about in my profession. My high school had what we called “pathways,” where you would ...

 Managing the Workplace Ethics of Social Media: https://www.corporatecomplianceinsights.com/managing-the-workplace-ethics-of-social-media/      Social Media can be a great tool and asset when it comes to communication in the workplace, opening up new and innovative ways to communicate with coworkers and making lasting connections with potential customers and existing ones. But on the other hand, if social media is not well managed, it can cause numerous risks within the company, including confidentiality issues, misuse of company resources, and conflicts between employees. Social media touches every part of a business and can significantly impact the company's growth negatively or positively.           Suppose a company cannot understand the ethics behind the use of social media.
