notes, these tools enable the public sphere and “relies on the information and cultural production activity of emerging nonmarket actors” (2006, p. 6). The rate of communication is outstanding as it “reaches more US adults ages 18-34 than any cable network” (YouTube, 2014). Part of the appeal is the limited regulations and the freedom of speech that is globally accessible. As Benkler states “social production is a fact, not a fad. It is a critical long term shift caused by the Internet” (2005).
Responding to student writing is rife with potential — potential to help students improve their writing, potential to encourage a writer to continue, and potential to make the student feel like a failure. The written text used to responding to student writing, the end notes, the marginalia, is hugely influential to student writing, but largely ignored. John Swales might identify this kind of text as an “occluded” genres—texts that are produced on a very regular basis in a composition class (including
Using an illustrative case study from the Web (site, application, event, etc.), analyze and discuss the significance of what Henry Jenkins calls ‘convergence culture’. Make specific reference to two or three of the major areas of tension he identifies as shaping the contemporary media environment. Significant innovations have occurred across the business or intermediate services sectors and the domestic or consumer service sectors, across the fields of entertainment, communication, and information
The current Lords consists of 253 Conservative peers, 199 Labour peers, 100 Liberal Democrat peers, and 180 crossbenchers (www.parliament.uk, 2017). There is no party that holds a majority in the House, and thus government policy is not simply pushed through. Thus, the most important or controversial policies
Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring is a nonfictional based movie portraying the infamous activities of a group of California based friends who burglarize celebrities houses looking for fashionable accessories. Mrs. Coppola’s main message throughout the movie examines the power and values their friend group possesses.

and Proletariat” (CM, 474). The bourgeoisie’s role in production, and thus revolution, exists in terms of both Marx’s concepts of the base and the superstructure. Marx proposes that the bourgeoisie, through its control of the means of production has succeeded in ruining the common bonds that once created harmony within the public (CM, 475). With regards to the base itself, the bourgeoisie’s unequal control over the means of economic production causes the anger of isolated workers (Wage Labor and Capital
Motivation is an important aspect in many organizations. In our organization motivation is a key to the success. When evaluating administrative staff, sales people, and production workers, each department works well utilizing different theories. One theory could not work adequately for all three; therefore, three theories were used. Production workers utilize the Two-factor theory; sales people use Vroom's expectancy theory and the Equity theory works for the administrative staff. Combining all three theories
continued to become astoundingly richer, while the poor lower class became persistently poorer. Moreover, a capitalistic system finds a way to make a profit from anything or from anyone. Alienating workers turning them against each other to focus on the common goal: profit. This is an example of how capitalism estranges employees in the workforce. In this type of capitalistic system employees are forced to compete with one another, therefore, alienating themselves from each other. Which can lead to a feeling

few weeks, my classmates and I have been collecting data on the amount energy in kilowatts produced by solar panels on a given day. We have been guessing how many kilowatts of energy would be generated based on the forecast for each day, and then we were left with our estimates and the actual production of that day. In order to make this activity useful, we then took both numbers and found our percent error both weekly and daily. My best percent error days throughout the whole time were 1.09 and 0.44%
For a network of interacting academics and experts, it is important that we are able to reach certain conclusions based on our common judgement, and constantly refine the existing knowledge in the light of new evidence and research. Ultimately, we should end up with knowledge that can be considered to be robust. Robust knowledge can be defined in terms of the validity, consistency and applicability of particular kind of knowledge. Therefore, robust knowledge often includes the conventions and methodologies
THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IN THE ADVENT OF MEDIA CONVERGENCE Remember Napster, the first peer-to-peer file sharing service found in 1999 that raised a ruckus in the music industry? Through Napster, web users copied digital recordings that thousands of other users could copy for free, ultimately creating “a copying frenzy” (Rose, 2000). The birth of digital file sharing created uproar in the music industry as the opportunities for piracy escalated (Freedman, 2003). Contrary, this forced
Japan has laws that set high standards for the physical working conditions of employees, as well as for the recruitment of Japanese employees. Tesla will have to adapt their recruiting practices in order to adhere to their host country’s outlined standards. Tesla’s best option for recruiting employees in their host country, at least in their initial wave, will be through the government-run employment agency called “Hello Work.” This agency, with offices located throughout Japan, connects employers
In this day and age Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) have become a topic of large interest in the media. GMOs are defined as an organism whose genetic structure has been altered by incorporating a gene that will express a desirable trait (Dresbach et. al 2013). Often times these traits that are selected are either beneficial to the consumer or producer. Currently, GMOs are being created at a higher rate than ever before and are being used in the foods that we eat. This has created a large
improvement of students outcomes with little or no additional financial resources, or a consistent level of student performance at a lower level of spending. Educational productivity is based on effectiveness. This is the linkage between student outcomes and the level and use of finacial resources in the schools. Production functions are concerned with how money is related to student learning and lifetime earnings. Other approaches are cost functions, data envelopment, and the impact of smaller class size
Project Incredible is aimed to teach one concept of mechanical, civil, chemical, and electrical engineering through four rotating activities. It is important to research similar projects that have been done in the past in order to ensure there is no plagiarism of any project. It is also valuable to consider how these projects can be adapted and innovated. Build a Roller Coaster Dash’s station will teach the students about mechanical engineering and transforming potential energy to kinetic energy
risk of stroke. More importantly for ADHD patients, exercise and physical activity has been proven to cause the brain to release more dopamine. As stated above, increased dopamine is effective in treating ADHD. Aside from the increase in dopamine production, certain exercises require the whole brain to be focused on multiple issues. These activities include running, biking, and other aerobic movements. (Stewart 1). There are many professional athletes with ADHD. Many of these athletes began their training

These concepts enlighten people’s understanding on the interactions between history and biography. Sociological imagination is based on the individual’s capability to be objective and understand the link between social structures, forces and agents. It enables people to understand that all social structures influence each other; therefore no social structure is independent and remains
