DQ 1

When oversimplifying, complex matters may be misrepresented and

distorted. How can you find and overcome oversimplifications in your

arguments?

Oversimplification is often found in reasoning about causes and effects.

Simplifying a complex reality to understand it better can help communicate it

more clearly to others. After simplification goes too far it can do business

complex is distorted. He did stop the representation of reality and disguise.

Some statements may contain an element of truth. But they did not fairly or

accurately represent reality. For example, the recession is right now mainly

attributed to improper spending. Our government to spend money on a wrong

way is what leads to it. This statement, however, covers only one thing that is

wrong spending. It's not appropriately reflect both sides of cause and effect.

This is what causes the simplification of the message. To find these

simplifications, you should look at the causes and effects. You should also ask

what are the important aspects of the issue are ignored. Many statements

contain an element of truth, but there are just focusing on a cause or effect. It

will focus on two of them to represent them well. To correct simplifications

decide what reflects reality without distortion. This will help you find and

correct the simplifications. Remember that there is something wrong with

simplification. The only problem is to oversimplify that causes all distortness.

In your own words, what is the main idea expressed in the essay?, assignment help

“Suppose I think about my future course of action. It might seem like I have have several choices before me (I could have soup for dinner or I could have a sandwich), but it strikes me that this is just an illusion. This is because humans are just like any other material entity found in the world, and hence subject to restrictive causal laws. If I jump out of a plane, gravity must pull me down (and this is unavoidable). If I have a release of serotonin in my brain, I will feel happy (and this too is unavoidable). What I eat for dinner is explained in a similar way, even if it is more complicated. Given my preferences and my desires and the relevant psychological laws, I will be compelled to pick the soup for dinner (as one example). I really couldn’t have chosen otherwise. So, I must not have free will.” Questions: 1) In your own words, what is the main idea expressed in the essay? 2) Would this make any difference in how you viewed any past decision that you have made? (Describe a past decision and give reasons for your answer.)

UC Data Visualizations Discussion

Initial Post“Why do we need to understand data visualisations? There is more and more data around us, and data are increasingly used in decision-making, journalism, and to make sense of the world. One of the main ways that people get access to data is through visualisations, but lots of people feel like they don’t have the skills and knowledge to make sense of visualisations. This can mean that some people feel left out of conversations about data.” - http://seeingdata.org/developing-visualisation-literacy/Please conduct the following activity located at the following address:http://seeingdata.org/developing-visualisation-literacy/rate-these-visualisations/Tell us what you think of the visualisations that we used in our focus group research.

1: hapter 7 Review Questions1. Distinguish policies on external competitiveness from policies on internal alignment. Why is external competitiveness so important?2. What factors shape an organization’s external competitiveness?3. What does marginal revenue product have to do with pay?4. What pay level does the efficiency wage predict? Does the theory accurately predict organization behavior? Why or why not?5. What is a relevant market? What difference does it make when determining people’s pay?6. Can you think of any companies that follow a lag and/or lead policy? Why do they believe it pays to pay differently? Can you think of any companies that follow performance driven and/or work/life balance policies?2:Select one of your favorite products (appropriate for discussion) and what method it typically uses for advertisement (cognitive, emotional, image, or endorsement). Out of the four types, suggest how one of the other methods could be effective providing details.Imagine you were designing an ad for a (choose one): car, laptop, health clinic. What would your ad look like if you were targeting: -Older people? -Kids? -Wealthy people? -What celebrity should endorse your brand? Why?In the weekly folder, read the mini-case: AIDA and diagnose the problem (from the following choices): A. Not enough advertising, B. Ads are boring, C. Ads aren’t persuasive, D. Channels (availability), E. Poor Product. In addition, define the problem in Scenario 1-5. What additional information would help you make a decision about the Ads?In the week seven folder, review the Bank and Hotel Perceptions figure. We see that the bank and hotel had business issues that advertising could address, namely awareness and consumer attitudes, respectively. If we make assumptions and simple calculations that a brand’s market share (%) is a function of those indicators (awareness, attitudes, trial, repeat), we could set other goals for the advertising ROI. For example, say we have a simple model: %market share = %awareness x %attitude x %trial x %repeat. For the bank, we have 0.25 x 0.80 x 1.00 x 0.75 = 0.15. The bank struggled with awareness, which should be easily rectified by spending more money on advertising, e.g., by buying time in a medium that delivers more GRPs. How much would we have to increase awareness for the bank to achieve some market share goal (provide a calculation)? What else would you like to know for a more thorough assessment?
