After viewing the clip "Marijuana:  A Second Class Addiction" in the lecture materials, write a paper in support or disagreement with the idea of the popular statement "you can't get addicted to marijuana."  In addition to your opinion, be sure to include valid research to support your opinion.  Cite your sources (APA style) and be sure at least one source would be considered educationally credible (text book, research article, etc.).  If you are uncertain about the credibility of your source, consult the "library resources" tab.  While I am more concerned with content then length, if I were to do this assignment it would take be about 1.5 to 2 pages.

Step:1

Find ONE general-interest article on the internet (from .com, net, or do NOT use websites like the CDC, NHI or similar) that contains a negative view of MSG.

Look for ONE peer-reviewed journal article on MSG. If the internet article cites (or links) a research publication from a scholarly journal, you may locate and use it. Alternatively, you can find a peer-reviewed article using Google Scholar.

Step2:

1.BRIEFLY introduce the difference and/or similarity of claims you have found between the two sources. (cite and clearly signal the source (in the article__) so we know "which" is
"which").

2.Did the online article seem reliable at first glance? Have you detected any biases or lack of sources in the statements? Has your opinion changed AFTER screening the website using the pdf located in step 1? Why?

3.Consider the domain of analysis introduced in the pdf (authority, currency, functionality, accuracy, and objectivity).
What is the website source missing? Did you find the pdf useful?

1. Operational definition of social problem (what is the social problem you’d like to reduce? Provide operational definition of behavior which contribute to specific social problem of interest. Is this behavior we should increase or decrease?)

2. Description of Target society and environment (provide a description of the target society and environment)

3. Baseline data (provided a description of baseline data (included references to where you got this info )

4. Criterion for success (specific increase/decrease in which property of behavior)

5. Rational for change (ethical considerations,relative risk/benefit)

6. Potentially successful Interventions Plan (includes descriptions of any necessary assessments, maintenance plan and rationale for why the plan would work)

7. Necessary resources (costs, political support,others)

Effective organisational performance is dependent upon human activity and the efforts of members of staff.
Additionally, the organisation must adopt effective communication channels to ensure productivity in contemporary times.
a). Using your knowledge of OB, discuss the costs and benefits of social media to the organization in its communication efforts with examples. [5 Marks]

b). It is very well to talk about a contented workforce, praise and recognition, but in times of recession, rapid change or uncertainty, a secure job and high income are the true motivators. Discuss this statement with examples of theories of motivation. [8 Marks]

c). Some jobs require you to make presentations regularly while others never. How well you present can greatly affect others’ perceptions of you and your professional opportunities. Using the acronym STATE explain communication and work effectiveness.
