Underlying Problems Associated with Writing in Workplaces: Fear and Lack of Culture
Scholars and pundits lament lacking writing abilities for workplace situations, but an exploration of workplace cultures embodying ‘good writing’ as part of the company’s core mission reveals important results. A trio of case studies explores workplace writing cultures at fortune 500 companies to identify best practices involved in cultivating positive writing cultures.
2. In addition to your own blurb, you are tasked with coming up with a title and subsequent blurb that represents the entire group. You are tasked with making a second posting that names the group of projects and delivers a blurb to describe the panel. The best group description will be used in the program for the final presentation, and the person who delivers the most effectively written description will earn a 4 point bonus on the final presentation.
The Evolution of the Nature vs Nurture Debate and its Role in Modern Society
ReplyDeleteThe psychology concept referred to as the “Nature vs Nurture Debate” is a seemingly simple idea that many people would claim to understand fully. However, a survey on a sample of the population including college students, parents, senior citizens, and others shows that this is not the case. A review of modern research shows that this debate has many other subsections that are very relevant and useful, but these breakthroughs are simply being ignored due to the popular misconception of Nature vs Nurture.
The Wall Between Non-First Generation Student and First-Generation Students
ReplyDeleteFirst-Generation students are a rising population, many being the first of their bloodline to graduate with a Bachelors degree. Even though Universities offer first-generation student programs to aid those in need, many first-generation students continue to fail, ultimately dropping out without ever getting a degree in their field of study. An analysis of modern research has demonstrated that the barriers first-generation face on a daily basis may ideally be the cause for academic failure.
Could eye-witness testimony always tell the truth?
ReplyDeleteDue to the evolution in our society over past four decades, as it has become less individualistic and more shared culture, framing a question using leading verbs might not change a person’s response. Researchers in past decades have shown that individuals in different cultures who speak different language have different response on questions which were manipulated by researchers. As the modern society is more diverse, people are exposed to many cultures and language (words that don’t belong to their culture but are known from experience), there might not be a change in response among individuals in manipulating a question using alternating words in order to establish the same meaning or interpretation. Therefore, electronic (video, audio surveillance) evidence presented in front of the judge has higher value than an eye-witness testimony nowadays.

ReplyDeleteThe actuality behind nature and nurture debate, first generation students, and eye-witness testimony
ReplyDeleteA review of modern research shows that the nature and nurture debate has many other subsections that are very relevant and useful, but those breakthroughs are simply being ignored due to the popular misconception of Nature vs Nurture. Similarly, people might think first generations students are always successful and eye witness testimony always tapes whatever is missing from the evidence box, but however, what people don’t know are the factors (par-time,full-time jobs, family problems) that might influence a first generations students while being a full time student and the factors (language, cultural schemas, personality) that influences a person’s (eye-witness) memory by creating false details or visuals. Researches have been done on individual studies (nature vs nurture, first-generation students, eye-witness testimony) in order to experiment the factors described above.
Psychological Concepts in the Modern World
ReplyDeleteThe field of psychology often seems to be a slowly progressing area of study in comparison to the other sciences. In some categories, such as the anatomy of the brain, this is true; there are very few breakthroughs. However, other psychological concepts are having new discoveries made even today. Despite the relevance and usefulness of these discoveries, many of them are being ignored. This panel dives into the heart of this issue, with three studies of psychological concepts that are very significant in today's society. The Nature vs Nurture Debate, the struggle of first-generation college students, and eyewitness testimony in regard to external factors that may create a false memory are all important ideas that have seen a change over time. This panel examines these concepts and effectively demonstrates how vital they are, even today.
Psychology and the Human Conceptions
ReplyDeleteOur daily activities can greatly alter the mind and psychological thinking we acquire. From going to school everyday while facing barrier and the way verbs can affect our every day responses, to nature vs nurture, psychological qualities surround us in our every day lives.
Real detriments to balancing school and part-time employment
ReplyDeleteThroughout the years as more and more students have enrolled into college and as more and more colleges have been created, the price rate of colleges tuition's have been rising. For reasons like this students have had to find ways to pay for their education whether it be through financial aid or by finding a job. Students who work while also enrolled in school are more inclined to feel stressed or other general pressures due to lack of time, motivation, or physical exhaustion. The effects of this balance has been researched by plenty of scholars from several different frames on the topic. My research examines these effects and which ones are more prevalent than others and/or have higher chances of happening regardless of student backgrounds.
