  • Title: The Power of Association: How Marketing Techniques Influence Consumer Behavior

    The way people encode or mentally program information helps to determine how their brains will store this information. In general, it is more likely that you will retain incoming data when you associate it with other things already in memory.
    Do marketers make you buy things? Or do they help you recognize your desires and how their product may satisfy those perceived needs?
    Describe a jingle that you recall from years ago.
    Why do you believe it is memorable to you?

  • Recognizing and Addressing Bullying in Nursing: Insights from Research and Personal Experience

    PLEASE RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING POST OF A CLASSMATE IN 100 WORDS, Remember that your posts must be substantive and contribute to the dialogue that is taking place and Response posts must offer at least one new piece of information or insight.
    Please also include references!
    According to Edmonson & Zelonka, bullying in nursing begins in nursing schools, where nursing students may encounter aggressive behavior during their clinical rotations (2019). One of the recent studies showed that 77% of nursing students were bullied over a year. Another study revealed that 59% of RNs leave their first jobs because of lateral violence and aggression of their colleagues. Bullying can range from verbal abuse to physical threatening. Often bullying can be easy to recognize. This may include unnecessary remarks, verbal humiliation of a person, excessive control. However, sometimes it can be difficult to recognize bullying. For example, giving RN unfair workload with “more difficult” patients or gossiping about him/her. Bullying can occur based on age and experience differences. For example, older RNs can bully novice RNs because they lack practical knowledge. Younger RNs can bully older RNs for some physical limitations. Bullying can also be based on gender. For example, male RNs can be more dominant and bully female RNs. Bullying can also be based on the personal trauma of the bully, which is projected onto his/her colleagues. I’ve been lucky so far with my coworkers. Everybody has been helpful from day one when I started working as RN. I always have support from my coworkers and can rely on them in difficult times. The hospital where I work promotes this type of relationship between colleagues. In case if I was bullied by someone at my workplace, I would get manager involved right away. I think it would be the best way of self-protection.

    Using the findings from the pre-work and any supporting literature, describe your key strengths and areas of expertise. What did you learn about your core characteristics, emotional intelligence, listening skills, and personal values? This will form Section 2.0 in your report.
    Step 2: Develop a ‘Future self’ LinkedIn profile
    Identify three entrepreneurs or business leaders who you aspire to be like. You will paste copies of their LinkedIn profiles into the report as Appendix 1.
    Reflect on the LinkedIn profiles you have collected. Identify three key elements to having a powerful and effective LinkedIn profile, and why you aspire to be like your chosen entrepreneurs or business leaders. You will use this reflection as part of Section 3.0 of your report.
    Think about where you would like to be five years in the future. Start by identifying what experiences, skills and knowledge you would like your future self to have. Imagine what the LinkedIn profile of your future self would look like. Using some of the elements that you identified as making a strong LinkedIn profile, write a mock-up LinkedIn profile that inspires you. Be sure that your future self LinkedIn profile has:
    captured the essence of Brand ‘You’ with the key strengths you have developed
    a list of the professional experiences you have gained
    organisations you have volunteered for
    professional associations of which you are a member

    The aim of your DAP is to help your future self become a reality. You need to identify the skills, knowledge and experiences you feel that you need to gain or develop over the next few years to have the future self profile of which you will be proud. Take a look at the following student exemplar at an HD standard: DAP Exemplar (DOC 38 KB)Download DAP Exemplar (DOC 38 KB)

  • “The Gig Economy: Transforming Work and Business in the Modern World”

    The gig economy, characterized by short-term contracts and freelance work, has transformed the modern business landscape. Originating from the increased demand for flexible working arrangements and driven by technological advancements, the gig economy has redefined traditional employment models.
    Platforms like Uber, Airbnb, and Fiverr have spearheaded this shift, offering workers the opportunity to engage in various gigs ranging from ride-sharing and home rentals to graphic design and writing. This model provides unparalleled flexibility, allowing individuals to manage their schedules and choose projects aligning with their skills and interests. Consequently, many workers have embraced gig work as a primary or supplementary source of income.
    Businesses also benefit significantly from the gig economy. By tapping into a vast pool of freelancers, companies can reduce overhead costs associated with full-time employees, such as benefits and office space. This model enables businesses to scale their workforce up or down based on demand, ensuring efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
    However, the gig economy is not without its challenges. Gig workers often face income instability, lack of benefits, and minimal job security. These issues have sparked debates about the need for regulatory reforms to protect gig workers’ rights. Governments and policymakers worldwide are grappling with how to classify gig workers and ensure they receive fair treatment and compensation.
    Despite these challenges, the gig economy continues to grow, driven by evolving work preferences and technological innovations. It represents a significant shift in how work is conceptualized and executed, offering both opportunities and challenges for workers and businesses alike. As the gig economy evolves, it will undoubtedly continue to shape the future of work and redefine the boundaries of traditional employment.
