Altman’s perseverance proves to the audience that he is committed to complete his investigation so that the results of his study can be utilized to design novel or more effective treatments that will benefit many patients. His interest aligns with the well-being of others, successfully opening the pathway for his message to be positively received by the audience. In addition, Altman’s strong moral is a strong contributor to his credibility. Altman credits his student, Nick, who sources and filters the desired medical profiles and conducts laboratory studies in mice for informatics and experimental evidence. Besides that, he specifies the sources of the statistics and information provided in the talk. He reveals that he uses the database of drug adverse events of the FDA and patient data from medical centers from Vanderbilt and Harvard. He establishes himself as trustworthy by following ethical standards and by honestly acknowledging the work contributed by other individuals to his project. Throughout the talk, Altman humbly displays his prominent qualities, which are one of his key elements in captivating the attention of the audience and making them believe in him more readily. The second source of persuasive power comes in the form of pathos, which is the emotional influence of the speaker on the audience.

The amalgamation of health and social attention, pedagogic and psychology empowers the social instructor to view possessions in an interdisciplinary outlook. Acquaintance with the dynamics and practices in innumerable disciplines also provides the social educator a constructive basis for interdisciplinary collaboration with people in other professions, like nurses, doctors, social workers, psychologists and pedagogues. Social skills form the foundation for social proficiency. Moreover, Bremer and Smith (2004, p.11) have defined the social competence as “the point to which students are able to establish as well as maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships.

The first organizations to embrace it were online and startup firms. Firms like Google, eBay, LinkedIn, and Facebook were built around big data from the beginning. Like many new information technologies, big data can bring about dramatic cost reductions, substantial improvements in the time required to perform a computing task, or new product and service offerings. Davenport.T (2013). Big Data is emerging from the realms of science projects at Web companies to help companies like telecommunication giants understand exactly which customers are unhappy with service and what processes caused the dissatisfaction, and predict which customers are going to change carriers. To obtain this information, billions of loosely-structured bytes of data in different locations needs to be processed until the needle in the haystack is found. The analysis enables executive management to fix faulty processes or people and maybe be able to reach out to retain the at-risk customers. The real business impact is that big data technologies can do this in weeks or months, four-or-more-times faster than traditional data warehousing approaches. Floyer.D (2015). Literature Review The IT techniques and tools to execute big data processing...

Rakibul Islam Monshy ID: 1131048556 a) No Ans: Define ILEC: An incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) is a local telephone company in the United States that was in existence at the time of the breakup of AT&T into the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs), also known as the "Baby Bells."
