Document three choices that you personally make in the course of the week leading up to this due date (5/18 – 5/24).

A decision to ACT (a decision about behavior)
A decision to REACT (a decision made about how to respond or react to information or a stimulus)
A decision to INTERACT (a decision about whether and/or how to engage with others)
Briefly describe what led to each decision context and then provide information on what caused you to come to your decision. Consider how conscious your decision was and what factors and context influenced your choice.

You will be graded on the thoroughness of your analysis, the accuracy of the example for each context (e.g. was the reaction decision actually reacting?), and style.

Risks associated with playing youth football

August 7, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), English and Literature

The article by Bachynski and Goldberg focuses on the risks associated with playing football on youth. The thesis statement of the paper elaborates on the expected long-term cognitive effect of football in at least one-third of retired football players. The authors begin their argument by mentioning how early children begin playing football at ages as young as seven years old (Bachynski and Goldberg, 2014). The main point put across by Bachynski and Goldberg is the idea that contestant collisions children experience playing this sport can result in significant hard in the future. Even though these children are young, Bachynski and Goldberg believe that the effects remain substantial. The essay is well organized and systematic considering how the authors mention their main idea and then down some of the ways that children remain at risk of brain injuries from participating in this sport. Bachynski and Goldberg also speak of the safety measures put in place to reduce risks but they still believe the children are exposed to concussions that can be damaging to the brain in the long run. Some other ways of mitigating risks include the “Heads Up Football” program developed by the NFL (Bachynski and Goldberg, 2014). The authors also dispute this approach stating that there is no evidence of this risk being a significant method of reducing concussions or long-term brain damage. The authors believe that all the steps taken in mitigating risks of brain injury are not enough to protect youth from the harmful nature of this sport. They regard the risks of playing football at such an early age as an ethical matter that needs addressing.

For this assignment, you will write a case study analysis that focuses on the communication strategy of an organization of your choice.

In this assignment, you will need to a) summarize the communication strategy of your chosen organization, b) analyze the communication strategy of your chosen organization, and c) explain how you would integrate the communication strategy into the current organization where you work or into a former organization where you have worked.

A. Summarize the Communication Strategy

Locate an article that discusses the communication strategies used by your chosen organization. After reading your chosen article, you may find the exercise below to be helpful in developing a summary paragraph. Identify the author(s) of your chosen article, and complete the following exercise:

[Insert authors name here] discusses how innovative communication processes have helped [insert name of the organization here] resolve [insert issue here].

The top reason [insert authors name here] holds that position is __________.

A second reason [insert authors name here] holds that position is __________.

A third reason [insert authors name here] holds that position is __________.

After filling in the blanks, you should have a list of the positions and claims made by the authors about your chosen organization. Shape your notes into a summary paragraph. (Do not simply include the list that you completed in the exercise above.)

Remember that the summary paragraph is where you will present information from the source. You will provide your analysis and interpretation in the following section of the paper.

B. Analyze the Communication Strategy

Be sure to include how the communication strategy impacts the organization on multiple levels. Feel free to use the four levels of sales, services, value chain, and continuous improvement as a model, which was discussed in the case study on the Dell Computer Corporation in the Unit VI Lesson. (Note: Your categories may be different.)

In the analysis portion of the assignment, discuss any problems (or potential problems) with the communications in your chosen organization, and provide potential solutions based on your research. Include ways that effective management could help to provide a solution.

C. Explain Integration Techniques

Finally, explain how this communication strategy could be integrated into your current or former workplace.

You will need to reference at least two academic sources.

Use the standard five-paragraph format (introduction/body/conclusion). APA format should be used. The assignment should be a minimum of three pages in length. Content, organization, and grammar/mechanics will be evaluated.
