...The degree which anger and aggression are accepted differs considerably in different cultures. For example, some societies discourage physical violence, but accept the verbal expression of anger. There are also different levels of aggression between cultures. While people expect the level and type of aggression to be common across cultures, they are often different depending on what is socially and legally acceptable. For example, in the African American culture, racism is considered aggressive. People within this culture have gone through a history of racial prejudice and they are still under pressure to stay within their race (Stevenson, 2003). The Japanese culture emphasizes on the face in terms of the social status. Individual image is crucial in the context of social interaction. People can differentiate themselves from others by the virtue of their position in the hierarchy. Behaviors which threaten a person’s social status, such as insulting the individual in public are considered aggressive behaviors. Also actions that cause humiliation or embarrassment are included here. There are some behaviors which are usually considered aggressive through most cultures such as assaulting a target using weapons or body parts (Kassin, 2014). This form of aggression aims at infringing an individual’s right. Infringing upon what a person deserves or what belongs to another is considered as injustices across many cultures. It is also a focal interest of both religious and legal...

A Human Service professional has, in its hands, the responsibilities in the life of the clients and families they meet.

History of LinkedIn LinkedIn is a site used by business professionals all over the world. This site provides business professionals and other types of organizations the ability to exchange information and other networking types of opportunities.

...discover which is better for your B2B business, Facebook or LinkedIn? Let’s begin with the time tested phrase now used by business development professionals and taught in every business school from the East coast’s Harvard to West coast’s University of California: “Follow the money” 1. Income: LinkedIn users on average have an income of $109,000 compared to Facebook’s $25,000 according a study by Seeking Alpha in 2012. The average income on Twitter also towers over Facebook with more than double at $52,000 per user. 2. Decision Makers: LinkedIn offers you better access to finding and connecting with B2B decision makers. A LinkedIn demographics study showed that 42% have CXO, VP, Director, or Manager titles and users can search by these terms and more for easy search value. 3. Age: Facebook is a great place to connect with younger users where according to a 2012 study by Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project 83% of it’s users are in the 18-29 year age category as compared to LinkedIn’s 16% and Twitter’s 27%. If your B2B decision maker is under 29, consider using Facebook. 4. Company Pages: Facebook and LinkedIn both offer free feature-rich company pages. Facebook however prohibits companies from advertising on the top level company page where LinkedIn encourages promoting products and services which are easily visible and accessible on the first page. 5. Sales Leads: LinkedIn offers the user the ability to proactively search by keyword...

...17 March 2011 LinkedIn Corp., 2008 Individual Case Memo LinkedIn's strategy to date was to become the leader in professional networking (PNS), a leader in business networking. Dan Nye has called LinkedIn a productivity tools that is used to search individuals of various professionals, recruit, find experts and get expert advice. Their strategy was to emerge as a major player in PNS which they successfully did. In 2008, LinkedIn was the largest PNS in the world, drawing members from about 170 industries. The company wanted to keep a strong differentiation between PNS and SNS along with maintaining a large crop of their professional users. The company, through continued innovation and expansion of new products, employees and a growing number of members has made their initial strategies come to fruition. The main risk in their current strategy is that they may be leaving a large number of prospective members on the table by being solely professional networking rather than expanding to social networking, ala Facebook. Most notably, MySpace and predominantly Facebook, has continued to grab a stranglehold of more members each day passing than LinkedIn. Both social networks target a much younger audience that has grown up with the networks. Both have also targeted entering the professional networking platform. Another main competitor is Monster, the world's largest job search engine. The strengths of LinkedIn include their high revenue stream which allows the company...

...opportunities. The fee-based sites have many advantages that free sites cannot offer. These sites offer a wide range of benefits and opportunities that any member can take advantage of. Though it costs to join these sites, the membership fee is often very low compared to the amount of benefits that are offered. Additionally, these benefits are much more focused on one area of interest (such as IT), giving the user much more information than most free sites can offer. These fees-based sites offer professional trends, conferences, publications, job listings, product discounts, mentoring, and most even have an interactive learning center to help build your knowledge in your career focus area (Denham, 2011). There are also many networking sites that can be joined for free that are very popular and useful. One such site is LinkedIn.

In the packet I would include a written letter from myself, order forms, catalog and instructions on how to plan a show. The company website helped me manage my daily activities with my shows by providing me with a to-do list each day called The Show Assistant.
