Discussion
Answer each question for each topic.
1. We all know that advertising is nothing more than a persuasive message; the question is how persuasive are they.
Think about all the ads you see. What elements attract your attention and make you want to either buy the product or service and what elements are total "turn-offs "? For example do ads with dogs in them make you feel positive about the product; how about talking babies?
2. We all ask for them - letters of recommendation. They are fairly routine letters and should be no big deal. The problem is that many companies are no longer allowing their managers (as representatives of the company) to provide them for many reasons. If you were approached by a coworker, subordinate, or friend, would you write a letter of recommendation for them or not? Why or why not? If you would, what would you include in it?
3. Social media and email is all over the place and we have all heard that employers have the right to monitor all computer activity both in and out of company computers. The question for this week is two part - should employers have the right to monitor all email traffic or should employees have the right to privacy. The second part is should employers monitor all internet access. Explain your position and if you have ever faced this issue, what happened?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
