Collaborative Project 2

We have now started our collaborative project 2. In this assignment we are to choose a topic we feel fairly strongly about that doesn't get enough notice. At first we had a really weird and specific topic but we changed our topic to Modern Slavery. This an a much easier topic to talk about, find research about, and give people awareness to. To most people in the United States, slavery is gone and not even an issue anymore. However, they are far from the truth and my project will expose just how much slavery still is involved in the world today both in the States and around the world. We are to present this information to the class and show what we can do about it and how we will get the word out. My piece in this presentation is the spreadability and how we should get awareness out to people so the issue is known. Fortunately, slavery is something that is hated by most people and I think it will be easy to spread it around and get the message out.

Group Project 1

Image
In class, we were assigned a project to focus on collaboration and the formation of groups. Were able to choose our own teams and our task was to create a presentation of a group we found (for the class) We were asked to use Tuckman's five stages to analyze and interpret these groups. There were a lot of good presentations; but my personal favorite was the one some group did about the movie The Longest Yard. Greats videos with accompanying explanations to make a great presentation. My group, however, did the film Rouge One. This was a good example because in all star wars movies there is a group that comes together to try and fight evil. This movie was a little stranger though, especially for the adjourning stage, because this was everyone's death because once they fulfilled their goal, they all were killed. My part was norming and I thought I did a decent job! Videos would've helped and I was a little nervous but it was fun and honestly cool to realize how life is pretty m

NYC Trek

This past week, I along with 14 other of my peers were given the opportunity to travel to New York. We were able to get first hand experience of life in the city and visit 10 different marketing firms in two days! Huge thank you to Marisa Allen and Eller College of Management for presenting us with this great opportunity. I also wanted to thank Jet.com, Abasi Rosoborough, Sakara Life, VaynerMedia, NBC Universal, Cognito, GAP, HAVAS, Usabilla , and Simplifeye for hosting us and giving us insight to what different careers in marketing look like.

TopHat

Image by Nikodem Nijaki via Wikimedia In class, we started using the website TopHat. I personally have used this platform before, and honestly, I am not a fan. We would use it in one of my old classes to answer questions we had no idea the answer to because the class was very weird and confusing. However, haven't seen it used like we use it now in my Esoc class. Now, I read a passage or two and answer questions that help me reflect on what I just read. This is very useful for me and makes it easier to retain information. I also find this subject much more interesting than the last class I used TopHat in, so I most likely pay more attention as well. One thing we read about was Civil Inattention. This is the "cultural norm whereby strangers who are in close proximity refrain from imposing on each other, staying out of one another's business to respect privacy and personal boundaries." I never knew there was a name for such a thing. I feel as humans, if we choose to
