  • Title: “Thai Influencers Arrested for Insulting Royal Family Member: A Case of Censorship and Lese-Majeste Law” In May 2021, three Thai influencers were arrested for posting videos that were deemed to have

    I will start this week’s discussion by adding information from an article (e.g., article sharing) that is about civil liberties. We have the right to express our ideas in the U.S. and the government even protects hate speech. Here is an example of how governments can limit speech. When government becomes the arbiter of which speech can be limited, it defines what is not allowed. Remember, I mentioned earlier how Putin was able to create a law in Russia that no one was allowed to voice negative opinions about him. Think about how many officials, and Hollywood personalities, would like a similar law. 
    Find an write about an article that has a similar case where an official enforced a similar law to Putin’s
    For Example- 
    Three Thai influencers were arrested over videos that critics say insulted a royal family member.
    The now-deleted clips were posted online in May as part of promotions for e-commerce firm Lazada.
    All three were charged under the lese-majeste law, which forbids insults against the monarchy.

    Partial of what the essay consists of: Customer communication in the digital age is a pressing issue for businesses across industries. By delving into this topic, I can contribute to understanding and addressing challenges faced by businesses in today’s digital landscape. With the topic ‘Customer Communication in the Digital Age’.
    I will be exploring how businesses communicate with customers in today’s digital world. By combining research methods like surveys, interviews, and case studies, I aim to answer questions like how businesses can enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty through effective digital communication. This topic interests me because it’s relevant to day to day business challenges as it directly impacts customer relationships and the overall success of a business in the modern market as technology continues to evolve.
    It’s essential to explore not only how businesses currently communicate with customers but also how these communication strategies are evolving in response to technological advancements. Additionally, considering the impact of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and chatbots on customer interactions could provide valuable insights into the future of digital communication. By examining these evolving trends and technologies, we can better understand how businesses can adapt and thrive in an increasingly digital world while maintaining strong customer relationships.
    Additionally need 10 refences with 1 paragraph on each on  how and why I picked them related to this paper
    . In addition to delivering an original, creative product, students produce an argument-driven paper that:
    creates a justification for the creative task based on ideas gathered from extant scholarship (of at least 10  sources) in communication by addressing questions such as: What are the sources of its creative vision? What communication concepts can be explored or applied? Who would be the target audience?
    documents the creative process and describes the final product with sufficient detail.
    performs an analysis that results in an argument (how does the final artifact embody its artistic vision, engage with its guiding concepts and principles, appeal to its ideal audience?)

  • Assignment 2 Specs – Tickets “Movie Ticket Sales with Military Time and School Attendance Check”

    Assignment 2 Specs – Tickets
    The goal of this assignment is to learn how to solve a problem with a combination of if/elif/else statements and complex boolean expressions. It can be completed with solely the material from Chapters 1-3. Solutions using lists, tuples or the “in” operator will receive a zero for the assignment as those techniques are not relevant to the goal of the assignment.
    90/100 Instructions
    A movie theater gives discounts based on different ticket types and the day of the week: 
    type   price  
    senior  9.00
    child  8.00
    general   10.00
    Day of the Week   discount  
    mon, tue, wed   25%
    thu, fri, sat    0%
    sun  10%
    Ask the user:
    What type of tickets they are buying. The user is limited to picking only one ticket type. Note that there’s a built in function in Python with the name type so it would be best to pick a different name for the variable. 
    How many tickets they are buying.
    What day of the week they are going.
    Use if/elif/else statements to look at the user’s input for the type and day to determine the correct price and discount.
    If the user enters something other than senior, child or general charge them the general ticket price of $10.
    If the user enters something other than mon, tue, wed, thu, fri, sat or sun charge them the full price, no discount.
    Calculate and display the total cost using f-strings or the format function to limit it to two decimal places.
