After having read the Alice Walker story “Everyday Use,” please address the following discussion question and take part as directed.

The process of characterization–which will be the topic of our second major essay later on–is a process every author who has ever written uses to create his or her characters–even when the “character” is a robot, rabbit, straw or tin man, literally every character used in any writing. Authors have only four options to create a character:

1. have the character say something

2. have the character do something

3. have someone else reveal something about the character

or, more rarely,

4. step in as the author-narrator and tell about the character himself or herself

Alice Walker does nothing less than an absolutely amazing job of characterizing Dee for us–even though some of us will take her differently from others–and she does this through the things Dee does, days, and some few things her sister and mother tell us about Dee. Alice Walker does not ever step into this story and interrupt the narrator’s, Ms. Johnson’s monologue and narrative about Dee’s visit on this one occasion. For this discussion, point out one very important thing Dee does, Dee says, or Maggie or her mother says about Dee, something that really reveals something important about Dee. This will not be difficult as you very likely already know. Please follow the directions about participation and the quality and substance of your posts. More is better, and you will, therefore, receive somewhere between 1 and 100 points for your effort on this discussion.

• Watch the Unit 1 Lecture (Transcripts)
• Read the following scenario

Setting the Scene:

You are a Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA) who works for Applied Behavior Associates, a community mental health agency. A group home provider serving adolescent foster children, ages 13–17, has submitted a referral to your agency for staff training in “behavior control procedures.” You have been assigned to provide training in basic principles of positive behavior intervention for the home. The home previously contracted with a non-credentialed “behavior specialist” who wrote behavior guidelines for the staff to follow. These guidelines included such recommendations as, “Whenever you notice a resident becoming aggressive, tell him to go to the quiet area. If he refuses, implement the two-person transportation procedure to move him to the quiet area. Prevent the resident from leaving the quiet area until he is calm. After the resident has met criteria to leave the quiet area, remove all privileges for the rest of the day.” These procedures have failed miserably, and you are being asked to provide some guidance.

Discussion:

• Discuss the three-term contingency (antecedent, behavior, and consequence) and its relevance to understanding why behaviors occur. What information pertaining to the three-term contingency needs to be considered in the current scenario?
• Discuss the components necessary for an operational definition of a target behavior. Provide an operational definition of the target behavior labeled “aggression” in the scenario that could be used to provide more clarity.
• Discuss one of the seven dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis outlined by Baer, Wolf, and Risley (found in Applied Behavior Analysis, Chapter 1, and beginning on page 16) and describe how the dimension can be applied when considering interventions in the current scenario.

Guided Response Posts:

In your first response to a peer, critique the operational definition that he/she provided for the behavior labeled, “aggression.” Does the definition meet the criteria for an operational definition (observable, measurable, and repeatable)? Could you easily take data on the occurrence of the behavior based upon the definition? How could you rewrite the definition to increase clarity?

In your second response to a peer, propose a possible contingency for the target behavior in the scenario, that is, use creative license and identify an antecedent and consequence. Then, propose a behavior intervention to address the probable function of the behavior.

I’m trying to learn for my English class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

Chapter 4 looks at the concept of “hacking” from a different point of view. While Chapter 3 considered the harm and motivation for illegal forms of hacking, Chapter 4 looks at a range of activities – starting with the well-intentioned but potentially illegal “hacktivism” on up to acts of “cyberterror” that serve the same objectives as other forms of terror – to achieve political, societal, or quasi-military objectives by placing groups of people in fear of harm from attack on computers or networks. When conducted by nation-states, such acts are considered cyberwarfare.

The text describes a range of tools used by “hacktivists” to include virtual sit-ins, DDOS (distributed denial of service) attacks, email bombs (similar to a DDOS but only for email systems), and website defacements, among other forms of attack. The key is that these efforts are designed to get societies or organizations to respond to broad calls for social responsibility, environmental action, or similar. Cyberterror uses these tools and much more harmful methods to force these same societies or organizations to comply with the demands of terrorists. The key difference is the level of harm that hacktivists are willing to inflict compared to cyberterrorists. Various nations have stated that acts of cyberwarfare – offensive hacking, infrastructure attacks – may cause real-world military actions up to and including war.

For the Chapter 4 assignment consider the following resources in the context of the powerpoint and text materials:
1) the definitions at this site for the activities we’re discussing:
https://www.us-cert.gov/ics/content/cyber-threat-source-descriptions#terror (Links to an external site.)
2) the issues and observations described in this article:
https://www.uscybersecurity.net/hacktivist/ (Links to an external site.)
3) a practical examination of the reality of cyberterror and internet-based threats: https://www.mmc.com/insights/publications/2018/nov/global-cyber-terrorism-incidents-on-the-rise.html (Links to an external site.), and
4) a view of a potential cyberwar:
https://www.zdnet.com/article/cyberwar-a-guide-to-the-frightening-future-of-online-conflict/ (Links to an external site.)

The ASSIGNMENT: having considered these resources, in addition to the text, submit an analysis in APA format that answers the following questions:

• Is hacktivism a legitimate form of political protest or criminal activity that should be prosecuted?
• How comfortable are YOU with society’s increasing dependence upon information technology for national security and social and economic stability? (Consider the many ways that society depends on internet-based information and communications.)
• Is cyberterrorism a significant danger that requires preparation and responsive measures or an overblown concern that has no real threat? (Consider how cut off from the world you felt when the last hurricane came through and you lost power and/or internet communications.)
• Will nation-state cyberwarfare capabilities increase or reduce the violence associated with conventional forms of warfare? Will nation-state cyberwarfare actions lead to an actual “shooting war” in the future?

Your submission should be seven or more pages (1 page of cover, 1 page of references, five pages of text with citations to your sources).

I don’t understand this Writing question and need help to study.

Recall that one of the major benefits of using technology in the classroom is the ability to differentiate instruction to meet the needs of every student in every lesson. Just as each student grows and develops at different rates, research tells us that students also learn in different ways. Jane McGonagall is an expert at differentiation through the use of games, which is sometimes described as a form of gamification. As featured in her engaging TED Talk (2010), Gaming can make a better world (Links to an external site.); she discusses gamification in classroom contexts.

Help me study for my Marketing class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

Integrating All Four Ps – Watch the video, Integrating All Four Ps , and answer the following questions:

Question One:

• Describe a company that you believe represents the 4Ps well. Using ALL of the Ps, provide specific examples of why you believe this company is successful.

Question Two

• Describe a company that you believe does not do well at putting the 4Ps into practice and provide two examples of why you believe they struggle with it.

Question Three

• What recommendations would you give the company who is struggling with their 4Ps?
• Search the Internet for an article that supports your position and post the link in your discussion, using APA formatting, for everyone to read.

Notes from my professor:

Marketers

As the news has broken of Forever 21 filing for bankruptcy, this is a perfect opportunity to look at which of the four Ps might have been their biggest challenge.

Starting with each of their Ps, their product appears to be relatively straightforward. Forever 21 focuses on fast fashion for a younger target audience that is looking for the latest style. The clothing offered in their store changes on almost a daily basis. As a result, it would seem that for the consumer that is looking for inexpensive trendy clothing, this is an excellent opportunity.

Looking at the P of pricing would lead to the same conclusion. Fast fashion typically has a lower price point, and Forever 21 is consistent with this pricing strategy. Their clothing is typically inexpensive, and the quality of the fast fashion product tends to reflect that. The pricing strategy, however, does seem to make sense as the clothing is continuously updated to meet consumer desires for on-trend merchandise.

The P of placement, or location, maybe part of their issue. According to Isidore and Meyersohn (2019), most of their stores tend to be located within malls and foot traffic in malls is decreasing. Has Forever 21 given their targeted consumer a sufficient reason to come into the store and shop? And, how interesting and on-brand is their website in encouraging shopping behavior?

Finally, the P of promotion appears to be problematic. In recent years, there has been little promotion to support the Forever 21 brand. There is significant competition in the fast fashion market space, and the lack of promotion has not kept this brand top of mind with their targeted consumer in all geographies (Teo, Nik, & Azman, 2019). Has Forever 21 ignored the basic idea of communication and forgotten who their target audience is and where to find their target audience?

The P of promotions may not be the only reason that this brand is suffering, but it is certainly a problem that could be easily fixed.

What are your thoughts on this issue? I look forward to more conversation.

Dr. Amans

Example from one of my peers:

Integrating All Four Ps – Watch the video, Integrating All Four Ps , and answer the following questions:

Question 1:

• Describe a company that you believe represents the 4Ps well. Using ALL of the Ps, provide specific examples of why you believe this company is successful.

The company that represents the 4 P’s well in my estimation is Verizon Wireless. The company has been around and been an industry leader since its inception, and has had staying power even with the advent of multiple pay as you go budget service providers. The company is celebrating its 20th anniversary as a wireless telecommunication provider. Verizon masters its use of the 4 P’s as follows:

Price:

Verizon consistently has had a higher price point for their services compared to other carriers. While some may see this as a major drawback, Verizon has built this price difference into the competitive market by consistently touting and improving its network. They are the “premium” option when it comes to wireless service. Customers often expect to pay more for their experience on the “nation’s largest, most reliable network”, and are willing to pay a higher price point to get the benefit of that service. Verizon has never wavered from this stance that you get what you pay for and therefore has always been able to set their margins higher.

Product:

Verizon also executes masterfully when it comes to providing a top-notch product that is wanted by the public. Their wireless network service routinely wins JD Power and Associates awards for its network quality and has been the highest-rated through an independent study of network performance for multiple years running. Not only has their technical product been exceptional, but their overall support of their product has also been great as well, consistently winning awards for their customer service.

Placement:

In this current business climate, it is essential to be available to place your products in different workspaces where customers would expect to find them. For a wireless company, this equates to, essentially, any and everywhere. For maximum efficiency in reaching customers, Verizon’s retail locations are placed in high traffic foot areas for maximum sales opportunities, manifesting in sleek, state of the art, high tech, clean, cutting edge stores, replete with individuals dressed to match, ready to assist you on tablets and mobile work stations. Additionally, they also have retail partners in indirect stores to cater to those individuals who may not feel comfortable in a high tech world, or who are not near the epicenter of the population. Lastly, they meet the customer where they are. In this age, that means online. Verizon maintains not only an online website and store but also keeps an active profile for engaging current and prospective customers through social media such as Twitter and Facebook. The company is consistent in ensuring the placement of its product where its customers would expect it to be.
Promotion:

Verizon does a tremendous job of promoting its service to current and prospective customers in places that a customer would expect to see it. Verizon maintains exclusive partnerships with the NFL, Indy Car Racing, Amazon Web Service, and others. They maintain a specific workgroup called Verizon Media Group, which allows them to be promoted through standard entertainment channels such as cable television and the highest rated viewed weekly programming on TV, the NFL. However, it also earns them the flexibility to deliver the promotion of their services through online ads, as well as exposure through massive events such as the most-watched event each year, the Super Bowl. These partnerships, along with shrewd marketing campaigns, such as the test man saying “Can you hear me now? Good”, has enabled them to deliver promotion to the masses.

Question Two:

• Describe a company that you believe does not do well at putting the 4 P’s into practice and provide two examples of why you believe they struggle with it.

The company that does not do well at putting the 4 P’s into practice, in my opinion, is CVS. CVS rose to prominence as a drug store touting “Convenience”, “Value”, and “Service”. It was meant to be a one-stop-shop for beauty products and drug prescriptions. The two areas that CVS struggles with are Price and Product.

Product:

While CVS value stores were originally branded as a drug store, the retail locations are not certain of their identity and their product has suffered. The chain was once a “go-to” for prescription filling and health and beauty items. With giants like Walgreens and Walmart in their product space for prescriptions, CVS has had to adopt new products to attempt to compete and to attract the customer types that would visit their competitors to fill prescriptions and shop. However, this fails due to the design of their retail space. It makes the store layout of its retail locations inconsistent and unappealing. There is no logical organization in the store. There are 1-2 aisles of grocery items, 1-2 aisles of books/magazine, and a central pharmacy, and many other various items such as clothes and scarfs, and even a toy aisle. There is no continuity. The streamlined product of prescription filling and meandering about the store are gone and it is a jumbled mess.
Price:

Due to the change in the approach of the product, the store has had to integrate different inventory, such as toys, as mentioned previously. To keep the inventory that would make them viable against their competitors, they fall into a trap on pricing. Because their competitors have much more retail space and a massive separate pharmacy, they can stock these items separately for sale, while CVS must incorporate them into the store design. Due to the lack of foot traffic comparatively, the items can take up shelf space longer. As a result of the items not moving as quickly, and the need to have the items available to compete, their pricing structure is set much higher than the normal. As an example, one gallon of antifreeze at Walmart was 7.99. However, at CVS it was 13.99. This is a great example, as a drugstore is forced to carry antifreeze simply to compete in the marketplace, and the price is nearly double their competitor.

Question Three

• What recommendations would you give the company who is struggling with their 4Ps?

The four P’s are significant; however, I believe that a focus first on the product allows a business to then set up the other 3 P’s based on their understanding of the product. Just as with any struggling business, the first step that CVS needs to focus on is finding its identity. What is the product that the company is wanting to provide the customer? What product is the company known for? What do they want the customer to think they are known for when they hear the name CVS? In this case, I believe a return to the focus on drugstore and health partnerships would be best. It seems as though the company has lost its way in remembering what product made them successful, and returning to those roots would be a good step to change their loss of direction. Doing this may be difficult as some retail space would be required to be closed due to their underperforming, however in the long term, being recognized as a leader in the health/prescription industry is the more profitable future.

• Search the Internet for an article that supports your position and post the link in your discussion, using APA formatting, for everyone to read.
