This fast-paced blog experience is coming to an end, but maybe not for good. Not knowing what to expect in this experience, I actually had an enjoyable one. Because I wanted to look and sound like I knew what I was writing about, I took the process seriously and did research on my topics and added it to my overall opinion when I wrote the blog. This reason obviously too was so I can pass the course with a good grade, and so I can know what I was doing.
As time went by, and I finished each blog I begain to see certain benefits from blogging that actually helped me with my learning process in my other courses. Like in my ENG 102 class, the concept of ethos, pathos, and logos were easily more noticeable in ads helping me understand their definitions better. One thing I've learned from this blogging experience is; if you don't know where to begin what you write about, just always write about what you know........... because what you know you can explain, and what you can explain, can be written down in words.
Already knowing about something your going to write about, already helps you with half of what you could write. Does this make sense? This has helped me out in literally every aspect of this blog. One technique I used for example is; whatever I was going to write about in the blog, I would try to look at a over-all, big-picture point to my storyline of what I wanted to relay to the reader. When you think, and look at your blogs storyline, and meaning of what you want to share this way, you can come up with a overall big picture format of your story, what you want to write about, and the meaning you want to share.
Along with any evidence you have that you want to use to back up your point, opinion, and meaning; add all that to your storyline and over-all final thought and write it down. All this can be done to help you quickly to do these blogs working smart and not hard. I hope this makes sense to you because this greatly helped me every time I wrote one of these blogs and having to do 12 blogs for this course, you need to think up ways to work smart and not hard. But trust the process no matter what you do or how you do it, have fun with it, be creative but be honest, because when you do these things together; it will show in the quality and meaning of your blog. Good luck future bloggers!
I have learned so much since going back to school and being enrolled at Glendale Community College(GCC). The things I have learned in my Business Management 157 classhttps://www.singlegrain.com/uncategorized/innovators-guide-expanding-marketing-strategy/
and in my English 102 class; are showing me that there are correlation's with my education and what I experience, and see in my life. As I continue to gain more knowledge and information and influence from these classes; I
see the things I'm learning begin to show itself in my everyday use in social media, when streaming Netflix or Amazon video, when I watch antana digital TV, and when I listen to my local radio stations, or Pandora on my radio in my car. http://www.businessinsider.com/target-would-almost-rather-give-up-tv-ads-than-facebook-2014-12
In my business class I am learning how to effectively and efficiently run, guide, lead and manage people to complete a business's plan's, goal's, and objective's.
Not executing these right, is what can ultimately make or break a business, along with bad business plans, goals, and objectives, bad financial choices, and the business not making profits. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/03/apple-watch-has-a-secret-weapon-that-helps-it-dominate-the-market.html
When I'm on Youtube watching videos and an ad pops up as I'm watching..... I can see the logic, and format of their ad to ensure Total Quality Management (TQM) which is focusing on the customer to continually improve product value, focusing on delivering customer value, and continually improving the system and it's processes.
I also am learning how business's and big corporations do extensive searchs internally for individuals that are both experienced and knowledgeable in managing and leading in these types of positions. These corporations are spending millions on training the right employees to give them more extensive knowledge to effectively and efficiently run these same big corporations. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2017/12/14/facebook-will-put-ads-before-videos-as-part-of-a-new-strategy.html
While I was watching TV yesterday morning, I see commercials and how they are trying to engage the Audience by using pathos or ethos or logos. Everywhere you look every business and Corporation is using these modes for persuasion, the rhetorical appeals. I continually see all these correlations in every aspect of my life.
For many people the words Busniess Management or Organizational Leadership mean, "the overall organization and or coordination of the activities of a business in order to achieve its defined objectives." "Management consists of the interlocking functions of creating corporate policy and organizing, planning, controlling, and directing an organization's resources in order to achieve the objectives of that policy." That's what I'm learning it to be. I am currently enrolled in
Glendale Community College (GCC) to get an associates degree in Business Management/Organizational Leadership. After I receive this degree, I'm going to transfer to Arizona State University (ASU)
and go on to get a bachelors degree. I am currently in my sophomore year. The term management as defined in my business management (MGT 175) book says, "is the attainment of organizational goals in an efficient and effective manner through planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling organizational resources." https://www.yourerc.com/blog/post/7-rising-trends-in-employee-training-and-development-in-2016.aspx, ..............for someone that doesn't understand what this means; basically it means that the manager or supervisor has the knowledge along with the skill sets to run, lead, and guide a group of individuals to finish and complete a business, organization, or corporations goals of staying in business and succeeding, https://learn.org/articles/What_Can_I_Do_with_a_Degree_in_Organizational_Management.html, this does not come easy though. For someone to be able to have the guiding, leading, teaching, showing, controlling, enforcing, and motivateing skills on a daily basis when leading employees to complete a business or corporations objectives, goals, busniess plans, and strategies for that day and for every day to day operations; are exactly what managers and supervisors do,.......... I mean think about it............someone that oversees, controls, guides, and leads a billion-dollar Corporation(I use this type of example because of how enormous these corporations are)https://www.cnbc.com/video/2018/04/30/t-mobile-and-sprint-ceos-on-mega-merger.html obviously has to have the knowledge and skill set to be able to do so. These corporations spend millions of dollars searching internally for individuals they know have the experience and knowlage to fill the CEO position. These corporations use established firms to train these individuals in the Leadership trait theories to effectively run these same corporations. There are many different components, and I use the word components because like an engine; a business needs to efficiently and effectively run in perfect sequence to continue it's goals and objectives day to day. To effectively run a business or corporation there is much needed planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and leading employee's in the day to day goals, plans, and objectives of that business to stay successful.
There are many qualities and skills a business or corporation look for when looking for managers or supervisors called management fundamentals; having integrity, being industriousness, having the ability to get along with people, having the business knowledge, intelligence, education, and experience they need for the position, having leadership abilities when making sound or stress filled judgements or decisions, how they communicate, interact, and how flexible they are with others, their ability to plan, set, and complete the business, organization, or corporations objectives and goals.
All this is vital and crucial for these enormous corporations ; all the way down to the mom-and-pop businesses to be able to stay afloat with success and longevity. The knowledge and skill sets to be a good manager or organizational leader can be learned, and instilled in someone, and is exactly why theses corporations spend that money knowing the importance of it. To be able to manage and operate a local Target or Walmart is something I would like to do. A General Operation management salary ranges from $35k to $114k, the average being around $61k, https://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=General_%2F_Operations_Manager/Salary,
or even bigger like a regional manager/director, and manage a chain of Walmart's or Target's. A Targets Executive Manager salary ranges from $45k to $145k, but the average is $114k.
I am the proud owner of a 2005 Chevy Monte Carlo LS, its the red one at the very top. I recently got this vehicle around May of 2016. I came across an amazing deal where I was able to sell my vehicle at the time, a 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham 2-door coupe, and then buy my 2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Its standard Engine size is 3.4-liter V-6 with a sequential multi-point fuel injection. 180-hp at 5,200 rpm's, with 205lbs.-ft tourque.
It has a standard transmission 4-speed automatic w/over-drive, and a transmission lock-up torque converter. At the time I bought it; it only had 120,000 original miles and two previous owners. Usually with every vehicle I've had, I use it and put money into it to fix it up and resell it for more to then buy another vehicle and continue the process again. I am not going to do this with my Monte though, I will keep it and hold on to it, use it, put money into it, and fix it up like one of these show cars in these videos. Little by little I'll get it done. Since I bought my vehicle, I have done some maintenance, and upgrades for it, for example; replaced brand new are the radiator, alternator, dashboard, ac blower motor, ac system, brake system, struts, the control arms, motor mounts, rims, tires, spark plugs, filters, fuses......... I know there's more stuff I just can't think of it right now, but one thing I want to really do is fix up my Monte like these on the videos. You can call me cliche or a weirdo but I like this style, and look of vehicle. The big rims make it look like a Hot Wheels car, a big toy car in real life. For those of you who do not know what a Hot Wheels car is, click on this link
I will do it from the ground up, whole new suspension system, struts, contol arms, brake system, rims and tires, a paint job, and for the interior to be fully re-done, with an engine overhaul souped up, and putting in a new Magna-Flow exhaust system to give it that extra power, and sound how it's supposed to be. It's all a matter of time though, my time is coming, bigger and better things await me and my 2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo.
I can go on and list others, but I won't cause you get the idea. I use all
these accounts daily, they are life hacks giving you the convenience to do the
things you need and love to do in life. It's more convienant to DM, text, or use one of the many social media apps and their quick and easy to use messaging systems. Before 2014 I never had any account on any social media outlet; things and times change though.
Early in the beginning of my social media use; I would see everyone and their
momma's using the # symbol that would turn the words right after it into a
searchable item of a story, article, video, picture, object. This #post is a connection source other users could join in on to add, and share things relating to the #post. The #post is then clicked on by other users that are continually checking in to see what's going on with the #post, and to add or share more
to the #post.
These randomly made up #posts, #topics, #scenarios, #ideas, attract a lot of user attention that continually helps these masses
interact, relate, communicate, on shared interests, love, stories about that
topic post. Seeing all kinds of people inter-mingle in this way shows how our
tendencies as humans with our most basic instinct, is wanting to interact
mentally, emotionally with others. These interactions are our most basic instinct, having that on going interaction is what we all want, and exactly why #hashtags are so popular and widely
used
........people know this is a fast-sure way to find a lot of other people
interested in the similar things they are. This is exactly why I love social
media and the mechanics behind it, because it's a force that inspires, moves, motivates people towards the mainstream of interactions and relating stories. This is exactly why everybody and anyone on these social media platforms have #hashtag tendencies, Society truly does have #hashtag tendencies!
Google's definition of Outdoorsman is a person who spends a lot of time Outdoors or doing outdoor activities. That is exactly what I love to do when I have the time to do so.The outdoors, nature and it's beauty all around, has been a love and pastime of mine as far as I could remember ever since I was a little kid. But you know as well as me; as you grow up and take on responsibilities of Adult-hood, your time and the things you love and wish you were doing fade out and you spend less time doing them. It might not be so noticeable at first, but when you do see and realize it, there really is only two things for you to do about it.......... continue on with your boring life as it is by working and paying bills, keep going to school getting the education that's needed for a better job, being to tired to do anything because of this, and never go out............. or you make time no mater how tired or drained you feel, go out and have some fun!
That's exactly what I do, I have made it a point of priority to go camping once a year, on a little mimi vacation; it's a sort of tradition for me that goes back about 14 years now. I go to different campsites every time, because there are just too many beautiful areas here in Arizona to just keep going to the same spot. I like the areas up North in Sedona, Slide Rock State Park, Oak Creek Village, Oak Creek Canyon, Coconino National Forest, and Flagstaff the most though! These areas are Immaculately beautiful with a-lot of lush wooded areas, lakes, rivers, and streams to go fishing or swimming, and beautiful hiking trails all throughout.
Going up North, from Sedona to Flagstaff, there are literally lined up and spaced out in a 15 to 20 mile route, a whole bunch of over night camping sites, and day-camp recreational sites(these day-camp rec.sites can only be used for the day). This 20 mile span of Earth starts off with Sedona, then more North from there is Oak Creek Village and Oak Creek Canyon, and more North from there is the Coconino National Forest, and more North from there is Flagstaff, that is littered with luscious wooded life, countless rivers, lakes, and streams, beautiful landscapes to go hiking, hunting, fishing, camping, canoeing, and swimming. There is Red Rock mountains everywhere the eye can see, everything up there is so beautiful, and the air up there is so fresh, crisp and clean. In the springtime the greenery of the lush pine trees, and wooded areas are dark green. It is a perfect get away spot, you couldn't ask for a better set up of nature and what it has to offer. Things can get hectic in life with all the responsibilities on your back, it can be so overwhelming and hard to handle at times, but no matter what you are going through; it is always important that you have an outlet to release all the stress and hardships from our day to day lives. Make it a point in your lives to get away, let go, and enjoy your "me" time, no matter what that may be.
I've heard many plans, ideas, proposals, propositions, and suggestions from politicians here in Arizona regarding things that affect the local community. Every year in fact here locally in Arizona they do votes on SB (Senate Bill) and HB(House Bill) bills that can become law. A SB bill is a written proposed law that either originated or was modified in the United States Senate. A HB bill is a written proposed law that is brought to the House of Representatives instead of the Senate. A bill has to win the majority vote both in Senate and the House of Representatives to have a chance to become law.
The HB or SB bill then has to be approved by the president of the United States to become law. Many Arizona laws have passed that involved budget cuts across schools, Colleges, the Dept. Of Transportation, Public Safety, Social Security, and to the Department of Economic Security. Many minority families all across Arizona are low-income earning, middle class, or lower class citizens that know the importance of having the job training, the skill sets, and a higher quality education. Times always change, and just like anything else in life; its good to be in front of the change and adapt with it, instead of being left behind not knowing nothing of it. Many of these families depend on government programs or assistance to help them in their day to day with bills, food, car expenses, and anything else they need to live and survive. I know first-hand how these families feel, the struggling to make ends meet, living pay check to pay check, always worrying about your life and the well being of your family in the future and whether you'll be able to continue to provide for them. Achieve60AZ is an organization that has come up with an idea, along with Governor Doug Ducey, to help people by giving them the opportunity and the resources to go and get a higher Quality Education. The reason to do this, is because now a-days a lot of jobs in many field's require a number of years experience in that field of work, or an education with an associates, bachelors, or masters degree experience in that same field of work. By giving Arizonans these opportunities.............. I only see nothing but prospering with these ideas, goals, and plans that are being put into motion by Achieve60AZ. This will overall, in the future, help the economical structure of Arizona's economy prosper, and help lower, or middle class Arizonans have the opportunities to prosper as well, and also be able to compete in today's work force and get those high paying jobs with those degrees these jobs are requiring now-a-days. This would help a lot of people financially, to finally have some type of security and piece of mind and no longer stress or worry as much over their future............. Now I say no longer stress or worry;as much............. because I certainly don't mean they will never have stress or worry over money again.....................because life is life, and well..............we all will certainly have some type of problem in life. This for sure will give a lot of families a better opportunity for financial security.
I watched my parents as i grew up, try to make a life for themselves, but never able to because of their education and lack of it. That was their dream; to have a better life and my brothers and sisters and me to be taken care of, you know, to live the American dream, and have that overall better life. For any person going thru financial burdens and always barely making ends meet, these feelings can be overwhelming and very worrisome.They do the best they can with the knowledge and skills they have with their jobs that pays enough to barely get by. This new proposed plan introduced by Achieve60AZ http://www.achieve60az.com/ and Governor Doug Ducey
truly is very beneficial to further Arizona's economic structure by giving them opportunities they have never seen or had before. Everyone knows the importance of a quality Higher Learning, and how crucial it is to have one in these new times, and day and age we are in. Achieve60AZ knows that the minority is now the majority, and that the percentage of these not having any education background at all is high. With their incentives and programs; they will help these people get access to this Higher Learning Education, and close the achievement gap to get one.These ideas and plans can be a groundbreaking change for many Arizona families, not just for minority low-income families, but for middle and upper class families also! These goals and plans are truly for the betterment and furtherance of Arizonans!
