...Term Paper on Rogers telecommunication I have gathered the following information Client A diversified communications and media company, Rogers Communications is engaged in three primary lines of business through its wholly owned subsidiaries: Rogers Cable, Rogers Wireless and Rogers Media. The company is Canada’s largest wireless provider of cable television services and the provider of high-speed Internet access, telephony services and video retailing. Challenge When Rogers sought to expand its cable customer footprint in Atlantic Canada, it was uncertain whether the same marketing strategy and materials that had increased customers in Ontario would be effective in another location. Could Rogers use its existing creative pieces and copy, or would it need to develop a new messaging and media strategy that better reflected Atlantic Canada’s lifestyles and perspectives? Solution To determine whether the Ontario ad slicks and direct mail pieces could be used in Atlantic Canada, analysts first classified Rogers’ millions of customers using PRIZMC2, EA’s segmentation system that groups consumers into one of 66 lifestyle types. They developed detailed profiles of Rogers’ customers in a number of provinces and then compared their demographics, lifestyles and social values. After determining the uniqueness of the Atlantic market, researchers identified four target groups that captured the essence of Rogers’ area customers and integrated the results into a marketing communications...

...In reading about the humanistic theory, psychologist Carl Rogers speaks of motivation, how we perceive the world, how we think about ourselves and others, and also how the world and the people can play a major role in our lives, changing our motivation, for better or worse, kind of like the "butterfly effect" or domino effect". In Carl Rogers opinion every who, what, where, or when is contributing to the person we are going to become in life. Abraham Maslow, on the other hand, seemed to believe quite the similar views but at the same time in a different perspective. Abraham's views on Humanistic Psychology were based around the self-actualization or knowing their own path very clearly being self motivated, starting from the bottom and working their way up. For example, we as people know that the first thing we have to do in life is go to school. After graduating high school the next thing in moving up is furthering our education through college courses. The next steps to moving up would be landing your dream job, getting married, having children, buying your first house until you've reached a comfort zone in your life which would be your personal point of self actualization. From what I've understood with the self concept process, in the first few months of a child's life self concept is born. In a set of perceptions and beliefs about themselves rooting from the influence of self enhancing experiences, such as, positive regard or the sense of being valued and loved by other...

...(Memorize) For those who knew and loved his television program for children, Mr. Rogers needs no introduction. For those new to him, the best first meeting I can offer to you is through his words, captured by www.pbskids.org about embracing everyone as his neighbor: (Click for Slide, Read off Paper) “We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say It’s not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem. Then there are those who see the need and respond. I call these people my heroes.” (Click for Slide, Don’t read it) According to urbanlegens.about.com, It was Fred Rogers’ grandfather, Fred Brooks McFeely, who first said, “You’ve made this day a special day by just you being you, Freddy, and I like you just the way you are.” (Click for Slide- picture of him as a child) Born in 1928 and growing up a chubby, shy, and lonely boy in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, young Fred cherished his acceptance from his grandfather, who helped give him confidence by allowing him to grow. An only child until the age of 11, Fred often expressed himself through his fingers- by making up stories with hand puppets and pounding out emotions on the piano.

...COMM S237 JOI Instructor: Gail Haynes Paper composed by: Vanessa Villefort Email: Vanessa.Villefort@edu.uni-graz.at Reaction Paper Experiences in Communication – Carl R. Rogers Everyone has different and unique experiences with communication. The psychologist Carl R. Rogers shares his experiences with communication in Chapter 1 of his book A Way of Being and by doing so provides major understandings of communication to the reader. Having read through the chapter thoroughly, I would like to follow Rodgers advice and “check what [he] says against [my] own experience and decide as to its truth or falsity for [me].” (439) In the following part I will try to make up my own mind by comparing his experience to mine. First of all, Rogers mentions the importance of hearing someone and also to be heard by someone. With hearing he refers to the process of truly listening to someone and that is not just listening to the words but also to the thoughts, the feeling tones, the personal meaning and meaning below the conscious intent of the speaker. Once people feel that someone is deeply hearing them they become relieved and more open. This feeling of being understood by another person lets people often bear their heart to that specific person which in turn makes them more open for the process of change (440). However, truly hearing someone is not an ability everyone possesses. It is a difficult process, since it requires the listener to be open and free of prejudices but also not...

...Carl Rogers and His Influence on Modern Psychology Introduction Carl Rogers is considered the founder of client-centered therapy, which asserts that childhood experiences affect an individual’s feelings, thoughts, and behavior (Rathus, 2004). The therapist must see the world from that of the client to be effective in treatment. Rogers has influenced many psychological theories and therapies present today, especially positive psychology. Despite this fact, many who practice positive psychology do not, or are not willing to, accept the influence of past theories. Client-Centered Therapy In 1959, Rogers asserted that the therapeutic relationship is used differently with different clients and “it is not necessary to manipulate the relationship in specific ways for specific kinds of clients” (Moon, 2001, p. 45). This means that when a client enters the therapy room, treatment using psychotherapy can begin if the therapist is warm, available, open, accepting, and seeks to understand and follow the client’s needs (Moon). Therefore, client-centered therapy asserts that when a clinician is successfully embracing the attitudinal conditions with a client, the relationship becomes therapeutic and psychological transformation occurs. In essence, Rogers believed that all humans are free to make choices and control their destiny, despite what has occurred in the past. Therefore, client-centered therapy’s goal is to provide insight into the client that has been discarded or disowned...

...Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a 1988 American animated and live action fantasy comedy film directed by Robert Zemeckis. It is based on Gary K. Wolf's 1981 novel "Who Censored Roger Rabbit?", which depicts a world in which cartoon characters interact directly with people and animals. Toon star Roger Rabbit worries that his wife Jessica plays pattycake with someone else, so the studio hires detective Eddie Valiant to snoop on her. However, the stakes are quickly raised when Marvin Acme (the practical joke-loving owner of the studio) is found dead and Roger is the prime suspect. A toon hating detective is a cartoon rabbit's only hope to prove his innocence when he is accused of murder. During the search for the true killer, the detective wonders how Roger can have an exuberant spirit in the face of possible death. Roger tells him that "a laugh can be a very powerful thing, why sometimes in life it's the only weapon we have". At this moment the detective sees Roger in a different way. So Eddie Valiant manages to solve a crime in a town where "logic goes out the window". He kisses Roger, proving that he has regained his sense of humor, and the toons celebrate their victory. This film mixes the live and animated characters, and lots of references to classic animation, it brought many famous cartoon characters from different studios together on screen including Mickey Mouse (Disney), Bugs Bunny (Warner Bros.), Droopy Dog (MGM) and etc. "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is a lots of fun, ironic...
