WELCOME to the discussion for WEEK 4. Please respond in complete sentences for each question, unless directed to do otherwise, demonstrating in your reply that you have read the material in order to receive full credit.
 Topic 1: Copyright
This week you read about copyright and some of the laws governing digital rights management.
Discussion:
Copyright protection is available for original works of authorship that are fixed in a tangible form, whether published or unpublished. The categories of works that can be protected by copyright laws include paintings, literary works, live performances, photographs, movies, and software.
Response #1:
Make an argument for or against the following statement: “Copyright is the only way for musicians, artists, and filmmakers to protect their integrity.  What’s important is not profit, but protecting creative content from unfair use. Copyright should remain an important part of our law”. Justify your response with support from the reading.
 Topic 2: Customer Location Data
This week you read the article “Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint Suspend Selling of Customer Location Data (web page).
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2018/06/19/verizon-will-suspend-sales-of-customer-location-data-after-a-prison-phone-company-was-caught-misusing-it/?noredirect=on
Discussion:
Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint will no longer share its customers’ location information with several third-party companies who failed to handle the data appropriately.
Question #1:
Do you agree with phone companies sharing their customers’ information with third-party companies? Why or why not? Support your answer.
 Topic 3: Filter Bubbles
This week read the article” Measuring the Filter Bubble: How Google is measuring what you click” and watched “How Filter Bubbles Isolate You” (YouTube Video)

https://spreadprivacy.com/google-filter-bubble-study/
Discussion:
If you and I performed a Google Internet search on a topic, we could get totally different results. How is this possible?  In attempts to provide us with user-specific content based on the data they collect on us, web companies may also be restricting us from information and “narrowing our world view.”
Question #1:
What are your thoughts on filter bubbles? Have you ever encountered a Filter Bubble?  Do you think companies like Facebook and Google have a civic responsibility in this area?

1. Reflect on the notion of positive feedback vs. recognition.  Provide a few examples of recognition that you have received and describe how it differs from feedback.
2. Have you ever received feedback from someone using a framework like the CONNECT framework?  (this book was recently published, so I wouldn’t expect that anyone used the exact CONNECT framework, but a process that was similar to CONNECT.) Describe how it went.
3. What do you need to do to be ready to give feedback using the CONNECT framework?  To make it even more concrete, what if I ask you to give feedback to someone in your group using the CONNECT framework before the end of the semester…what comes up for you in reading that?

In our reading this week I learned about the Trinitarian model of validity which includes the criterion related validity, content validity, and construct validity. We can use these to forecast and measure what the end result of a test will be. We must examine what the total purpose and response will be for a test. What the subject matter is, what is required and what we wish to accomplish when the test is complete. The reading also states that we use this to compare test measurements that are identical to a set of goals, and the quality of an instruments used, and the construct of interest (Guion, 1980). The difference in the unitary model is that there are not three separate areas as in the Trinitarian model. Messick states that the unitary models stands on the appropriateness, meaningfulness, and usefulness of score-based inferences and are inseparable” (Messick, 1995). It would seem that the unitary model is a better fit because you can accomplish more and find more accurate results. In both cases the goal is a valid and reliable testing procedure. This is what I understand the Trinitarian and unitary model to be.
1 day agoDianna Spence U4D1COLLAPSE
A Trinitarian view of validity focuses on three aspects of validity, criterion-related, content, and construct. Guion examined each from a dual perspective aiding in the understanding of construct and establishing a basis for comparison between evaluations of the validity of measurement and evaluations of the validity of a hypothesis (Guion, 1980). Trinitarian approaches to validity assessment are not mutually exclusive, as each of the three conceptions of validity provides evidence that, with other evidence, contributes to a judgment concerning the validity of a test (Cohen & Swerdlik, 2018). Disadvantage of this theory is having to choose which tests to apply this concept. Tests in math and sciences are applicable but those in social sciences may have difficulty (Guion, 1980).
Messick’s approach to validity is critical of and differs from Guion’s approach. Messick provides validity measurements for all tests on the basis of six aspects of construct validity: “content, substantive, structural, generalizability, external, and consequential aspects of construct validity” (Messick, 1995). The new unified concept of validity interrelates these issues as fundamental aspects of a more comprehensive theory of construct validity that addresses both scores meaning and social values in test interpretation and test use (Messick, 1995). In his critic of the Trinitarians view of validity, Messick called for a unitary view of validity, one that takes into account everything from the implications of test scores in terms of societal values to the consequences of test use (Cohen & Swerdlik, 2018).
Messick’s approach is more valid for determining the validity of a test as it has multiple aspects of construct validity to apply. Test users can run into difficultly when determining test validity of test measure based on one certain criterion.

Please read the entire post 
Contemporary Culture/Diversity News Journal:
Throughout the semester, you are expected to keep up with current events in focused on the issues of culture anddiversity as it relates to business studies.   As part of your daily reading of contemporary culture  and diversity news (via the Financial Times, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Detroit News, Detroit Free Press, CNN, etc.), you are to select a  singlebusiness-related  topic  of  culture/diversity    interest.    Collect  (electronically)  and read  (approximately)  one  to  three  articles  per  week;  all  on  your  pre-approved  topic.  Potential topics might include national cultures, regional cultures, sub-cultures, or groups.  Examples might consider diversity in the traditional media and/or social media, movies, in the workplace, etc. across culture realms or within a single culture or subculture.
6Each journal entry should include a brief summary/analysis (1 to 2 sentences, hand-written or electronic notes are ok); this process will help you write your final paper.  Be prepared to share on a daily basis something from your journal with the larger class or class group (the   sharing   of   contemporary business-related   culture/diversitynews   readings   will comprise part of your participation grade).  Email me a compilation of your articles (really,just your links) with brief commentary on September17andOctober15.  It  is  your  responsibility  to  email  me  the  article  links. Before turning in your completed Contemporary News Journal, write a summary analysis of your topic (1-2 paragraphs) andhow it connects to the course(4-5 paragraphs) for a total length of 2 full pages (double-spaced typed).
                                                                  Investigative Efforts (Discussion 1)
To fully understand what kinds of investigative efforts are being made by police to address real-world problems, select two individual problem solving guides from the Problem Specific Guides (Links to an external site.) and assess what police are using to succeed in their investigative and problem-solving efforts. Summarize then analyze both of the problem guides you selected, focusing on the positive aspects of the research. How can this information be utilized and applied in a law enforcement agency?
Officer Stress (Discussion 2)
The police work environment itself can and does have adverse effects on police officers. It creates stress, which may be defined as a force that is external in nature that causes both physical and emotional strain upon the body. The late Hans Selye, who is known as “the father of stress research,” defined stress as a nonspecific response of a body to demands placed on it.
To help officers deal with stress and its effects, a comprehensive wellness program is needed that should include five elements: (1) physical fitness, (2) stress management, (3) psychological and mental health, (4) nutrition and dietary-related behaviors, and (5) alcohol/chemical dependency.
Police agencies need a comprehensive wellness program to assist officers in coping with stress, but if that fails or is absent, an employee assistance program (EAP) should be available to help officers to cope with alcohol and substance abuse, psychological problems such as depression, or family management problems.
Read the Employee Assistance Program (Links to an external site.) and address the following:
Why has the University of Oklahoma Police Department established an EAP, and how does the program work?
What portions of the EAP presented did you find particularly helpful? Why?
What portions should be expanded? Why?
In your opinion, do you think either a comprehensive wellness program or an EAP helps with officer stress? Why or why not?
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length.
For this week I want you to step into the role of the person who is responsible for managing the risks faced by your organization. As a reminder, from the Module Presentations and the textbook, there are 4 basic strategic options for managing Risk: Choose 1 or a combination of strategies to best address the risk
Re-state your Threat and the Vulnerability to the Threat, and briefly explain your strategy to manage the Risk. Choose one of more of the options below(there are no wrong answers, simply explain/support your strategy)
1.Avoid Risk: Prevent the occurrence of the impact (examples: increased security, preventative maintenance, relocate assets,…etc.)
2.Transfer Risk: Transfer the cost of the impact (example: purchase insurance to cover potential losses, or contractually transfer asset ownership,…etc.)
3.Mitigate Risk: Implement strategies to minimize the impact (examples: perform audits, develop response plans, create asset redundancy, develop a COOP,…etc.)
4.Accept Risk: Do nothing and accept the potential impact (ironically, sometimes this may be the correct management option)

Instructions for this Assignment
Question #2 Chapter 16 Managerial Decision Exercise:
You have recently accepted the position of director for a full-service retirement home that has three components. The first component is for retired individuals and married couples who can still manage on their own but appreciate the amenities such as medical care and having other residents that they interact with through planned activities. The second is for residents who are still relatively healthy but do need assistance for specific tasks such as mobility and the like. The third section is for individuals with chronic health issues and palliative care patients.
You have learned during the interview process that the facility has performance and morale issues and that the previous director had a rigid structure, did not allow workers from different roles to interact, and wanted all decisions to be directed to her. This has led to dramatic staff turnover and a larger number of empty units compared to other facilities.
As the incoming new director, you will need to address the staff, and your new assistant asks whether you would like to address the staff in one large room or in smaller meeting rooms with employees from the different functional units. She also asks how to handle the workers who are from different shifts. Make your communication decisions, and write up an opening statement to make to the employees before you open the meeting to questions.  Be sure to include in your response paper reasoning behind your decisions and at least a clear linkage to the the following learning objective: Identify the most effective modes of communication based on audience (LO2).
***Include in your response-your opening statement as well as the thought process that you followed to get to your opening statement.
Submission Format
Your paper should be 2-3 pages not including the title and reference page, double-spaced and include a centered title. Any sources used should be properly cited in APA format.
