Create a 35-minute PowerPoint presentation that evaluates how well the company embodies its issue-related values.
Changing, or even stating, a companys values can be a long and arduous process, but it often pales in comparison to the effort it takes to make sure they are honored, implemented and projected. In this assignment, you evaluate how well your chosen company from the first assignment has done in walking the talk and responding to a social issue.Review your chosen companys mission and values statements as well as other sources that provide insight into the companys values with regard to social responsibility. Pick two of their primary values and research how the company manifests those values. Simple examples might be the commitment to workplace diversity or ecological sustainability. Create a 35-minute (approximately 68 slides) PowerPoint presentation that evaluates how well the company embodies its issue-related values. Your presentation should contain detailed speakers notes that flesh out and support main points, ideas, or conclusions and have supporting citations.***Use the previous paper to refer back to*****

write a brief proposal (~250 words) explaining the particular research problem you want to explore and why that problem is important enough to give you a speaking spot at the conference.
3 proposals each 250 words Context: You are a world humanities scholar interested in applying to an academic conference. Academic conferences are meetings where scholars gather to share new ideas. Scholars are typically split into groups of three or four people and take turns reading their new research to a small audience of interested scholars.Before you can present at a conference, however, you must be accepted to speak. To be accepted, you typically write a brief proposal (~250 words) explaining the particular research problem you want to explore and why that problem is important enough to give you a speaking spot at the conference. Proposals are typically written in response to a call for papers (CFP), which the conference planning committee distributes.Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to introduce you to an important genre of academic writing (the conference proposal) and give you confidence writing large assignments by starting with a small, manageable introduction. Proposals are used in non-academic conferences as well. Finally this assignment is designed to help you clarify your research problem.Advice: While successful conference proposals have some differences, most contain a sentence or two answering the following points:1) big picture problem or topic widely debated in your field.2) gap in the literature on this topic.3) your project filling the gap.4) the specific material that you examine in the paper.5) your original argument.6) a strong concluding sentence.
prepare a memo discussing all potential privacy-related issues in Rick’s case.
Rick Anderson is the Chief Compliance Officer for EquiMax (EM), a major nationwide credit reporting bureau in the United States. In the past few years, certain decisions relative to EMs compliance obligations have caused some concern with the Board of Directors. Rick has come to your law firm asking for help in assessing all potential risk associated with EMs recent actions.EM’s core business is compiling vast amounts of consumer financial data, including loan balances, payment history and defaults. This information is particularly useful for businesses, because the data goes back several years, sometimes up to 15 years. However, since EM maintains so much information, it often has difficulty maintaining accurate data. Some of the inaccurate data would be deleted, but the rest would stay on file. Nonetheless, EM remained very profitable since the financial information it collected proved to be reasonably accurate in predicting an individuals future behavior.Two years ago, Rick was approached by EMs Strategic Product Development Team (SPDT) about compiling new types of data which could potentially create a new income stream for EM. Specifically, the SPDT wanted to begin collecting information related to an individuals personal characteristics and market that information to prospective employers. Rick felt this was a good idea because employers were willing to pay big money to identify individuals who had no prior history of drug use, fraud or any other activity that may potentially harm the businesss reputation. The business could use that information to identify likely candidates and then reach out to those employees to inquire about their interest in working for the company. In addition, Rick felt that compliance obligations would be more lax because EM would likely not be considered within scope of the FCRA because the information was not financial in nature. After working out some kinks, the product was launched a year ago and has enjoyed a great amount of success.As part of his duties as Chief Compliance Officer, Rick implemented a robust annual privacy notice mailing process for EM. The process currently sends a privacy notice to all individuals that EM maintains nonpublic personal information on, currently 30 million individuals. The privacy notice provides a description of EMs information collection and sharing practices, but does not mention the individuals ability to restrict disclosure of nonpublic personal information to other entities. A large number of EMs shareholders criticized Rick’s costly decision to implement such a process because many believed that EM had no legal obligation to provide an annual privacy policy to those individuals who EM maintained information on. Some of the shareholders have even threatened to file a shareholder derivative suit for Rick’s actions.When EM’s profits took a turn for the worse 6 months ago, Rick decided to hack into a competitors database to gain a competitive advantage. Rick ended up stealing 5 files containing various intellectual property documents, each valued at $1,000. Rick felt that there was little risk in doing this pursuant to the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act because EM still had to reverse engineer the source code stolen from the competitor.Your supervising attorney asks you to prepare a memo discussing all potential privacy-related issues in Rick’s case. You are to advise your supervising attorney on the likely outcome of each issue, citing appropriate authorities.

The video generated over 100 million YouTube Views. Over 20 million dollars was donated to support the effort to capture James KonyNOTE 2: You cannot use Invisible Children in your project.To help you with completing Section 2, a second example is provided below:Section 1 Example 2: The ALS Ice Bucket ChallengeIn 2016, the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Association (ALS) organized the Ice Bucket Challenge. The challenge involved pouring a bucket filled with ice and water over a person’s head, followed by the person nominating 3 people who then had to take the challenge. The person would then making a contribution to ALS research. The challenge quickly became viral, gaining support and participation from celebrities. As a result of the challenge, traffic to the ALS web page increased, over 250,000 new donors signed up, and over 13.3 million dollars was raised.NOTE 3: You cannot use the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in your project.SECTION 3: ANALYSISWhat was the full impact of the use of Digital or Social Media?Item 1: Was the change created by the use of digital or social media positive or negative (or both) in your opinion?Item 2: How successful was the company in accomplishing the objective?

This attention lead to political and military action. The US government, lead by President Obama, backed a mission of 5,000 soldiers to James Kony.The organization came under scrutiny as many have questioned their efforts (see YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okmswBs4rdg or CNN report at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEVKNVTnYRA).James Kony has not been caught. Some people even believe that he is no longer living or a threat to the region.Section 3 Example 2: The ALS Ice Bucket ChallengeThe Ice Bucket Challenge was extremely successful. The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge increased the level of awareness of ALS and was extremely positive.The Ice Bucket Challenge campaign has ended. In order to sustain the effort by coming up with a new challenge each year. One idea would be to use a number of celebrities to start the new challenge every year. Also, the association could do a better job of showing how the money donated has gone to furthering the cause. I would also create a thank you video from current ALS patients. The key here is to find ways to take advantage of the momentum the Ice Bucket Challenge initially created.Section 3 Sources: Include at least two sources for Section 3.
