THERE ARE TWO PARTS ONE REVISION ONE PAPER. HERE IS WHAT IS NEEDED FOR THE REVISIONOF UNIT 3: Thanks for redoing it but you still don’t quite understand what each section is asking you to provide. Here is some feedback- This is not differentiation-…ask students to read…..list……mark……shout out the word…Differentiation is how you will adapt a lesson for students with different needs. Examples- dictate a story instead of writing a story, create an infographic instead of taking a test. Technology integration is not “Ask students in the groups to mark each index card with a prefix and suffix. Display affixes on a chart so students can refer to them. Record new words made on chart paper.” These actions do not use technology at all. Technology tools are not Index Cards, Markers, Charts, Paper. Technology tools are computers, software, iPads, smartphones, or applications. What technology tools are you using for this lesson plan? FOR THE PAPER THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE IN THE ATTACHMENT.

Your response could include answers to the following questions:What do you think about the topic /person being presented?Can you connect what you saw in the video with any of your own experiences?Are concepts we’ve discussed in this module more clear after viewing this program?What did you learn and/or how did it enhance your understanding?Was there anything “left unsaid” which you feel would have improved the presentation? i.e. was there anything you would have liked to see included which wasn’t?How might the video impact others different from you (i.e. gender, ethnicity, culture, etc.)?What is the relevance of this video to specific areas/topics of our course?Did it critically view the subject or was it largely descriptive without analysis?What does the event or video have to do with you, personally, and with your life (past, present or future)? It is not acceptable to write that the video has NOTHING to do with you, since just about everything humans can write, perform or film has to do in some way with every other human.How much does the event or video agree or clash with your view of the world, and what you consider right and wrong?

One of the complaints from users was that it was unreliable. The new changes allow Twitter to make money, which then allows for the company to make necessary changes to make it better for all users. Twitter should focus on heightened market orientation and creating superior customer service to become more sustainable in the twenty-first century. It is essential for the company because it has competition that is changing things up to improve customer service. If Twitter does not change things, it will eventually become stale to the customer. The changes will keep it relevant and exciting for consumers. Another strategy that Twitter should about is positioning build on marketing assets, capabilities, and competencies. Twitter needs to find partners who will help them reach new markets.Businesses need to stay on top of marketing trends to stay competitive. One Of the most important trends is exceptional customer service. Customers want to be heard and appreciated. Customers can be fickle, and if they are unhappy and feel like they are not getting the service they deserve, they will seek out an alternative. Going above and beyond is one of the easiest ways to keep a customer returning. Another marketing trend is the use of artificial intelligence. This is helpful for when a customer needs to contact the business. Using this will ensure there is no wait time for the customer. Of course, artificial intelligence has some problems, such as when it cannot help the customer. Artificial intelligence is continuing to get more advanced and, in the future, will dominate the thinking ability of a human (Chintalapati & Pandey, 2021). However, in the meantime, if a customer is not successful with automated help, they need to be able to reach a human. Customers who do not have an easy time reaching a real person may become unsatisfied, and the business runs the risk of losing the customer.Reference:Chintalapati, S., & Pandey, S. K. (2021).

Information is collected on those tweeting and those reading the tweets.What fundamentals of strategy can Twitter adopt to become more sustainable in the twenty-first century?Twitter has many strategies it can use to become more sustainable. They include:Adaptive and flexible leadershipHave an authentic purposeBecome a more powerful brandIncrease collaboration and partnershipsIncrease customer retentionIncrease sales.What marketing trends do you think will be most important for any business to take note of to stay competitive?According to Ghosh (2020), one of the most common current marketing trends is the use of mobile marketing. It is a digital, multi-channel marketing strategy specifically aimed toward all multi-media users including any multi-media devices and apps (Ghosh, 2020). Almost anything one can do on a computer can now be done on any mobile device. Most internet users have a smartphone and internet access. Effectively using mobile advertising is critical for any business to stay competitive. It seems all social media has local advertising available along with major corporate advertising, as well. This trend can make or break a business or company. How a company chooses to embrace mobile marketing is paramount to its success.Ghosh, D. (2020).

In what ways was Bonnie and Clyde controversial during this time, and how did the French New Wave influence Hollywood cinema?

Film Introduction:At the time when Bonnie and Clyde was released, the golden-age of Hollywood, or what most people would have called Classical cinema, was over-prevalent in the United States. After hearing the great critical success that Jean luc Godard reached with Breathless, American film production companies wanted to reap in on that success. They originally wanted to hire a French director to direct Bonnie and Clyde to ensure that it would recreate the same appeal that other successful French New Wave films have reached, but in the end went with Arthur Penn. Although American, he used the same strategies and visual storytelling from the French New Wave, and Bonnie and Clyde was a huge commercial and financial success despite its controversies! It was from here that the expression of cinema was expanded to what we are most familiar with today.Film Information:Film: Bonnie and ClydeRegion: USAYear: 1967Director: Arthur PennFilm Screening:link is attached https://digitalcampus.swankmp.net/fresnocity349172/watch/4192682B09E4CC05?referrer=directReadings: are uploaded/attached plz follow assignmenthttps://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20170814-how-bonnie-and-clydes-final-scene-changed-hollywoodhttp://www.classicartfilms.com/academicpapers/How-French-New-Wave-Movement-and-Directors-Godard-and-Truffaut-Influenced-New-American-Cinema.pdfAssignment – Short Essay:Heavily influenced by the commercial and critical success of French New Wave films, Bonnie and Clyde ushered in a new wave of American cinema.

Evaluate the nature of an agency’s relationship within a corporate form of an organization.

Read the following and watch the video, then write a report using the outline in the attachment.Video: http://youtu.be/e2brL7B1ONU?hd=1 Reading:Agency theory is used to understand the relationships between agents and principals. The agent represents the principal in a particular business transaction and is expected to represent the principal’s best interests without regard for self-interest. The different interests of principals and agents may become a source of conflict, as some agents may not perfectly act in the principal’s best interests. The resulting miscommunication and disagreement may result in various problems and discord within companies. Incompatible desires may drive a wedge between stakeholders and cause inefficiencies and financial losses. This leads to the principal-agent problem. The principal-agent problem occurs when the interests of a principal and agent come into conflict. Companies should seek to minimize these situations through solid corporate policy. These conflicts usually present ethical individuals with opportunities for moral hazard. Incentives may be used to redirect the agent’s behavior to realign these interests with the principal’s concerns.Instruction:Evaluate the responsibilities of shareholders who have different types of objectives within the corporation, such as executives of the company and owners who have little daily involvement in the corporation.Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic.Do not just answer the questions, but use the questions to formulate your report.
