Could you tell us more about language barrier, and concern about screen time?

Question: Culturally Diverse CommunicationClick the ‘scenario’ button below to review the topic and then answer the following question:Description: The preferred communication for the company to their employees is through an app on their company phones to alert them of important daily updates, tasks, and expectations. Some team members reported feeling as though this should not be the only form of communication because they did not like being required to have a phone with them at all times, and the app was challenging to understand. They wanted multiple types of communication include written letters. According to those with grievances, the strategy was doing the following:Creating barriers biased toward team members who were technologically savvy and maybe from a younger generationNot taking into consideration nonnative English speakersNot taking into account visual disabilities that made relying on the app a challenge; andForcing employees to have more screen time than they were comfortable with causing physical discomfort among someThe decision was made to offer communication in multiple forms, including text messages, app-based direct messaging, printed communication, and voicemails. Each team member had to opt into one type of communication. Each person could also choose their language of choice for the communication.QUESTION: Could you tell us more about language barrier, and concern about screen time?

Are dairy products, specifically milk, an effective dietary source to help prevent osteoporosis or could they cause more harm than good?

The Department of Health and Human Services (2021), estimates that 53 million Americans are at increased risk for bone fractures. Calcium and Vitamin D are vital components for osteoporosis prevention. Dairy products, especially milk products, are common in the American diet and even have a familiar marketing campaign (“Got Milk?”) to help educate the public on the benefits of milk. Most Americans have the perception that drinking milk will give us strong bones, but is this true?Initial post: Are dairy products, specifically milk, an effective dietary source to help prevent osteoporosis or could they cause more harm than good? Should we, as a society, be drinking more or less milk? Are there better dietary choices for calcium or should we all be taking calcium supplements? Please elaborate on your reasoning with your research.Support your opinion with valid research and cite your sources appropriately.Reply post: In your reply post, consider the research your classmate has posted and compare/contrast with your own research.
