Competency Assess the development of societal standards in relation to social media and how this can alter social norms in everyday life. Instructions The prevalence of social media has had a huge impact on society in the area of how we tend to relate to each other and on what is considered to be normal in general. Taking a look at the ways in which social media changes attitudes and "norms" makes for an interesting study, and one that is applicable to understanding how society is slowly changing over time. For this assignment, you will first conduct your own research on the effects of social media on societal norms (Part 1), then you will examine what has been found through previous research conducted by others (Part 2). Part 1: Compare and contrast the attitudes of two cohorts of people; one that consists of five people that rarely use social media and one cohort of five people that uses social media 2 or more hours a day. Create a list of five people that you know that use social media at least 2 or more hours per day. This group of people will make up your first cohort. Then create a list of five people that you know that either do not use social media or use it very rarely. Take into account age when creating the cohorts, and try to keep the ages as similar as possible between the cohorts. Keeping a certain level of consistency in the two cohorts will help to negate the potential effects of generational differences. Provide a brief description of each of the ten people you are going to interview divided into their respective cohorts. In other words, list the five people in the social media at least 2 or more hours a day, and provide a brief description of each along with why you chose them. Then provide a list of the five people that rarely or never use social media, and provide a brief description of each along with why you chose them. Interview the participants to learn the similarities and differences between the two cohorts as it relates to attitudes, lifestyles, and relationships. Write a two-page paper comparing and contrasting what you learned about the two cohorts. Be sure to relate your findings to cultivation theory and socialization theory in the paper. Part 2: Now you will compare your research with research findings through previous research conducted by others. Look up at least 3 articles in the Rasmussen Library that relate to the topic of social media and its impact on society. You are not limited to articles that are strictly written on the specific topic of social media and norms. Articles that are covering social media and society are available from a wide number of angles. After studying these articles, write a two-page paper on what you learned on the topic of social media and its potential impact on societal attitudes, customs, and norms.

Instructions:There are four projects (Potential Jobs) and you are tasks with analyzing to see in which order should we fund the projects. Once you calculate each project, you will present a 4 page double-spaced typed Microsoft Word analysis justifying your positions presented as to ranking of each project, and as to acceptance/rejection with justifications as to why you accept or reject. The typed Microsoft Word analysis should utilize APA formatting or MLA. Sources should be properly APA or MLA sourced and the 4 page double-spaced count does not include the title page or references. The analysis should have the following headers: 1) an introduction, 2) facts, 3) outcome and 4) justification. A TYPED MICROSOFT WORD DOCUMENT IS ONLY REQUIRED.

It is limitless but should make logical sense. 1-3 Paragraph/10% of points Outcome- This is the section where you provide the results of the analyzation into the model. You should not embellish here but be very factual as to the outcome of the potential jobs returns and feasibility. You should gleam all this from the template data that you inputted. 1 page/20% of points Justifications- This is the meat… You now have to examine the outcome and use the NPV, payback, profitability index and other measures to make an informed analysis of which projects are acceptable and which logical order it should be in. Please note this is not guess work… There is a logical order and there is an acceptance or rejection of each based on the decision elements of time value of money and payback, IRR, ARR, PI, etc… You have to use your newfound knowledge of chapter 24 and the details from the outcome to put a reasonable analyses together. 1.5 pages /60% of points Attached document contains potential jobs.
