Orange is the New Black) or a movie you have enjoyed.  

 For your chosen show or movie, provide specific examples for each component of culture (language, values, norms, and symbols) found within your show or movie.
· Each TV show or movie could be said to represent a subculture of mainstream society. From your chosen example: How are each of the four components of culture (language, values, norms, and symbols) identified as a subculture or counterculture of mainstream American culture?  
 Finally, choose 1 of the following theorists: Emile Durkheim, Karl Marx, or Charles H. Cooley.

Public policy can be used to provide more incentives for conserving and penalties for consuming. For example, raising the gasoline tax by 50 cents or $1 per gallon would create pressure for smaller and more fuel-efficient vehicles. These taxes could be used to support mass transit. Large tax credits could be given for using sustainable energy such as solar and wind power, and prices for natural gas and electricity could be increased. This would encourage energy conservation and the greater use of renewable energy. Tax incentives could be provided for making existing housing more energy efficient. Building codes could be changed to require greater energy efficiency and the use of renewable building products. Greater efforts could be made to encourage or require recycling. The use of hazardous chemicals could be banned. Corporations could be taxed for the depletion of resources and for pollution. This might encourage greater environmental responsibility. Tax credits for children could be capped at two children. This would be an attempt to limit population growth.  What is your opinion of measures such as these?

How do the traditional learning and online learning methods compare in effectiveness for college students globally?

Is Online Learning Effective?

Education has undergone various transformations over the last two decades. Some of the major transformations have been greatly influenced by external factors like technology and the 2019 Covid pandemic. The evolution of technology over the same period has greatly influenced learning with the growth of the internet leading to an increase in online learning. The Covid-19 pandemic led to an increase in online learning as physical attendance to classes was banished.
Online learning has gained prominence over the last three years with more students preferring it to traditional learning methods. This study is supposed to show whether online learning is effective an aspect that will help more students in picking the learning method. The significance of this paper is to show whether online learning is effective through the various research papers that have been carried out.

Research Question

How do the traditional learning and online learning methods compare in effectiveness for college students globally?

Research Methodology

This study aims to show whether online learning is effective. Online learning has gained prominence over the last five years with more students preferring this learning method than traditional learning methods. To show the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of online learning, secondary data will be used for the study. The study will use previous studies on the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of online learning. The data will be sourced from the internet.

Preliminary Supposition and Implications

Some of the studies on online learning have been inconclusive (Abuhmaid & Jarrah, 55). However, in comparison to the COVID-19 period, online learning was effective and has, over the years, gained prominence. This study is supposed to show its effectiveness by gathering data from other studies.
Online learning is effective, and that’s why it has gained prominence over the last five years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when classes had been suspended, online learning was effectively used to ensure learning did not stop (Ali et al., 578). One of the satisfactions gained by online learning is quick feedback from lecturers to students (Tran, 107).

Conclusion

There is a lot of study to explore on the effectiveness of online learning to offer a comparison with traditional learning methods. This makes the topic of great importance, as the information gained can be used to make important recommendations on online learning. The impact that certain worldwide issues, such as COVID-19, has proven to use that the impact of online learning is very important.

Think of an organization you’re familiar with, such as one you’ve worked for or even a place of worship or school, What kind of organizational structure does the organization use?What other organizational structures discussed in this week’s textbook readings might allow the organization to operate more effectively?

Organizations are arranged or structured in ways that best support the organization’s ability to meet its goals. Organizational structure refers to reporting relationships, accountability, assignments, and decision-making philosophies. Over time, companies may want to or need to change their organizational structure to adapt to a changing environment. Organizational strategy, market demands, technology, competitive factors, and changing societal expectations are all drivers and influencers of organizational structure. Managers of different levels are sometimes (but not always) included in talks about organizational structure because they are more familiar with day-to-day workings than the executive team.Think of an organization you’re familiar with, such as one you’ve worked for or even a place of worship or school, What kind of organizational structure does the organization use?What other organizational structures discussed in this week’s textbook readings might allow the organization to operate more effectively? For example, would moving to a product team structure lead to greater efficiency or effectiveness? Why or why not?

Teaching effective supervisor skills powerpoint (thelma)

 
This  project requires you to develop a PowerPoint slide presentation for use  as a training tool with brand new supervisors! You are in charge of  presenting them with information on how to transition from a worker to a  supervisor. There is great satisfaction in taking a brand new employee,  helping them to develop their Management, Coaching, and Leadership  skills, and then watching them excel! With this in mind, your  presentation should have a title slide, an overview, and a body of  slides for the audience. You should focus the majority of your  presentation (i.e., 8-10 slides) on what challenges a new supervisor may  face, what makes a good supervisor (or bad one), and how to transition  to becoming a supervisor. Factors to consider in all forms of  communication–Who is your audience? What is your message? Are you  trying to persuade? Inform? 
Here are some guidelines to get you started: You are the Day Shift Supervisor  and are going to brief a small group of newly-promoted team leads with  little or no past leadership experience. They have all worked up through  the ranks at the Always Smiling Toothbrush manufacturing facility. Your  audience ages are anywhere from 25-55 years of age, with various  business backgrounds, some with military experience, and some that have  been in a little trouble before but now want to move up in the company.  Many of them have good friends still in lower positions and will have a  struggle adjusting. Have fun with some of the topics and graphics of  course!
