A major barrier that separates Phoenix from other cities is the county line (Cole, 2013). It sits in a valley that is surrounded by mountains ("Phoenix Mountains," 2013). The only river is the Salt River ("Celebrating Arizona’s," 2012). Phoenix is a multicultural city ("Profile of General," 2012). A phenomenological feature is their affiliation with religious groups. The number one religion is Catholicism ("Phoenix," 2012). Some of the major social interactions include professional sports, golfing, hiking, and colleges ("Phoenix," 2012). Some of the major challenges and barriers are the poor air quality, extreme temperatures in the summer, and dust storms. The values and beliefs of the people are from the viewpoint of multicultural diversity. Almost every ethnic group is represented. There are many synagogues and mega churches that meet the religious needs of all the various religious groups. Health promotion is evident by the importance of education.

...Ryan Seacrest became fascinated with radio at a young age, and managed to get an internship at an Atlanta radio station before graduating from college. This internship led to an on-air gig, and he continued to work for the radio station while attending college. It wasn't until the mid 1990's when Ryan moved to Los Angeles that his career started to take off. He hosted his own afternoon show called Ryan Seacrest for the Ride Home which was on air until 2004, that was the year he started hosting American Top 40.

...Course: English 301 | To: | Julie Amparano | From: | Celine Abel | Date: | 17 May 2016 | Subject: | Evaluation of ASU's Student Code of Conduct | The purpose of this memo is to present my impressions of Arizona State University's Student Code of Conduct. My evaluation is based off of my knowledge from reading chapters one through 5, as well as chapter fourteen, from the textbook "Technical Communication" by Mike Markel. Summary I do believe that the Student Code of Conduct does follow the ‘Eight Traits of Excellence’ that Make Markel writes about in his textbook “Technical Communication”. Discussion The Student Code of Conduct for Arizona State University is created in a way that fosters honesty, intellectual integrity, and creates a culture of respect for all individuals. While reading the code of conduct I noticed that the ‘Eight Traits of Excellence’ came up in a variety of ways. The first trait, being honesty, was demonstrated by being straightforward in explaining what is not prohibited at the university, and measures will be taking if crossed. This type of dialogue is written in a way that does not intend to mislead the readers. Clarity, the second trait, is portrayed through the documents’ use of a dictionary; which is designed to allow the reader to become familiar with any terms that they have otherwise not encountered in this context. The next trait is accuracy, which essentially is referring to the bias of the communicator. Bias...

...Science says there is 6 reasons people say yes! The Six Principles of Influence ( Six Weapons of Influence) were created by Robert Cialdini, Regents' Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Marketing at Arizona State University. Cialdini identified the six principles through experimental studies: The six principles are as follows: 1. Reciprocity As humans, we generally aim to return favors, pay back debts, and treat others as they treat us. According to the idea of reciprocity, this can lead us to feel obliged to offer concessions or discounts to others if they have offered them to us. One example of this concept was tested with Mints being handed out with the bill at restaurants. Tips increased with server giving more than three mints and telling the customer that for being great customers she gave them extra. Tips increased exponentially. 2. Commitment Cialdini says that we have a deep desire to be consistent. For this reason, once we've committed to something, we're then more inclined to go through with it. For instance, you'd probably be more likely to support a colleague's project proposal if you had shown interest when he first talked to you about his ideas. 3. Social Proof This principle relies on people's sense of "safety in numbers." If you have ever been in a hotel and read the sign suggesting reuse of towels. Hotels learned that by putting a statement saying how many guests reuse towels the number actually increases. “90% of hotel guests reuse their...

...Smiti Shakya Speaker Reflection: 1 Adam R. Maki is one of the Financial Advisor of the America’s leading financial planning company known as Ameriprise. He went to get a degree in golf management in Arizona state university. Sooner, he found out with that degree he won’t be able to make enough money to support his family. This made him land to financial and sales advising. This gave him an opportunity to help people with money as well as provide food for his family. He has worked and grew Ameriprise for the 10 years. He gave us advice that whenever you apply for a job or an internship to make a selective choice in terms of the company because he was given a phonebook and rest was all up to him during the time he started to work for Ameriprise. He told us to find a company who is going to train and develop you professionally. However, Ameriprise now gives full training and support system for the beginners. At first, you are given small tasks like communicating with clients and after 6 months you would be promoted to next position. I found it interesting about team based approachable environment in their office. As in a lot of corporate company you would be seeing cubes for each employer whereas Ameriprise has an open space without any walls between each worker. He also talked about the company doesn’t spend much time in advertising because their way to get people know the company is through satisfying their clients. Their satisfied clients are the one who spreads...

...Date: Oct 5, 2012 To: Sports Solutions Managers From: Mr. Smith, Regional VP Subject: Employee Training As managers, we understand that a well-informed staff is an integral part of our success. The better we train our employees, the better the customer service experience will be for our customers. In order to continue to develop the knowledge of our team here at Sports Solutions, I would like to implement a new online employee training system. While the Friday update meetings we have now are acceptable at informing our staff, I have come up with some areas in which we may improve: Time Management--The time that employees are spending at the meetings could be better allocated to more productive tasks at their individual stores. Attendance--Many of our staff members cannot make the meetings due to legitimate reasons, but these individuals are also missing the opportunity to receive the relevant updates discussed during that time. Comprehension--Team members who do attend the meetings often have follow-up questions about the concepts being focused on and there is not enough time to address everyone’s inquiries. These challenges can be overcome with a new system for training and updating our staff. I have come up with an online platform called “Essential Learning”. Instead of the weekly staff meeting, employees log on to the website once a week and review posts about new products and store policies. To ensure that all employees understand and retain the information...

...The sports website I picked for this assignment is the Arizona State University’s website for all of their athletic programs; www.thesundevils.com. The website is itself is very user friendly. It has nine main tabs for users to click on that list the options of sports, schedules, tickets, audio/video, facilities, athletics, store, sun devil club, and fan zone. The main page of the website has a large scrolling picture marquee that shows the various recent accomplishments of many of the sport teams at Arizona State. The demographics for this website are complex to say the least. Demographics which are defined by our textbook as the gender, age, race, income, education, and marital status are all seen here on the website. First both genders are targeted on this website. They website it’s self has a section for men’s sport teams, as well as women’s sports teams. I found it interesting that Arizona State has more women’s sport teams than men’s. I would say the targeted age for this website would be teenagers possibly aspiring to attend and be a part of one of these collegiate teams- to adults. While the webpage is for the teens-adults the Sun Devil athletics want the younger fans too. On the web page they have a section for the Jr. Sun Devil club which is marketed towards the younger fans to have many different ASU athletic experiences. I believe the website aims to market towards all races and it does have pictures of athletes of different races, however the prominent race seems...

...Jeffrey Coleman POS 1010 Arizona vs. United States In 2010, Arizona highlighted policies that would ultimately affect the lives of many immigrants who came into the U.S without legal permission. Many civil rights groups had seen this as racial bias. These became an issue with federal government and they challenge this as “unconstitutional” this act was in fear that Arizona was trying to neglect the sovereign powers of the federal government on federal immigration laws. Arizona passed the law that makes it a state misdemeanor crime for any aliens or immigrants to be in the state of Arizona without carrying the required documents of registration. This law was made clear and constitutional through the 10th amendment. This Amendment states that “Those powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states are reserved to the states respectively or to the people”. In clearer words this gives states the power that federal government does not cover by the constitution or “police powers”. For example if Arizona wants to exercise a new law in there state they have the right to do so if the national government to cover that subject of matter of the law. People who don’t agree with this law say that this encourages racial profiling, while people who support this law say that this prohibits the use of a race as the sole basis for investigating immigration status. This law was later modified by Arizona House Bill 2162 to address the issues...

...Criminal Law Paper A recent Supreme Court Case that was decided was ARIZONA et al. v. UNITED STATES. This case was argued on April, 25, 2012 and a decision was made on June 25, 2012. This case came about in 2010 when the state of Arizona enacted a statute known as S.B. 1070. This statute addresses the large number of illegal aliens that are in the state of Arizona. “Fed up with illegal immigrants crossing from Mexico -- and what they say is the federal government's inability to stop it -- legislators in Arizona passed the tough immigration law in 2010. The federal government sued, saying that Arizona overreached.” I have been interested in this case since hearing about it. The first thing that actually came to my mind was racial profiling. I understand that the United States has a huge problem on their hands attempting to control this problem. It was interesting to me to see a state attempt to make a state law that would supersede federal law. As a police officer myself, I can see this becoming a racial profiling issue. Without certain guidelines in place, this would lead to many unanswered questions. The state that I reside in is Georgia. Georgia also has a high population of immigrants, so I am curious as to how this will turnout in the end and affect other states. “The primary purpose of the law is to “discourage and deter the unlawful entry and presence of aliens and economic activity by persons unlawfully present in the United States.” The primary jurisdiction would be...
