Module seven maps

I chose Colorado because it is absolutely beautiful out there. I lived there for a couple years and I would not mind going back on vacation. I also chose New York and Las Vegas. I really enjoy the fast pace movement and those are just great states to be in. Although they are both expensive they both have a lot of opportunity to offer. Business maps are definitel useful especially in areas as large as these. You can easily find where you are going and it would save a lot of time in general.

Social Responsibility

Social Responsibility is defined as an entity, be it an organization or individual has an obligation to act to benefit society at large. Social responsibility is also described as a duty every individual or organzation has to perform so as to maintain a balance between the economy and the ecosystem. I am involved in social responsibility in a number of ways. One example is I am a volunteer for a youth program. I am expected to act as a role model as opposed to what the world is seeing today. There are a lot of unethical things going on in society so I have to maintain a good impression and keep doing what I have been currently doing. Me as a herzing student also shows how I am involved with social responsibility. When people see me with my Herzing T-shirt on they automatically know I am involved with education. Kids see that and they know that it's a chance they could go to Herzing also. It's all about being beneficial to society and showing them the positive side of life.

Delicious Bookmarking

I chose 11 bookmarks and most of them consisted of the clothing company. I also selected a gossip site for celebs strictly for the entertainment. Youtube, FaceBook, yahoo, and Ask.com were included because of the information they could provide. These particular sites keeps you updated on the latest trends, the latest gossip, and whats going on in the world today. I selected knowledgeable sites in order to keep myself in the loop of things. We all know that social media keeps you current so there is no mistaken why a favorite bookmark would be something pertaining to social media. The fact that I am in business and have been actually thinking about going in the clothing business, I need to know everything that is going on in that area. As long as I have them bookmarked, I can always see whats the latest and what I can do to make it better for myself.

Privacy Issues-To be or not to to be

One privacy issue is the exposure of people's personal records such as credit reporting,education and financial records. Another issue is the fact it is not enough protection to protect online consumer privacy in advertising networks that collect records or web activity. A third issue would be the lack of protection of medical records. Before a certain law passed pertaining medical records, information was shared without consent of the patients. Now there is a provision that says doctors, hospitals, and other health providers must now limit the information they share with others. A way organizations can deal with safeguarding the organizations privacy is using certain policies. There is plenty of new technology that can prevent certain information from being shared. Privacy advocates would like to see wider use of an opt-in model of informed consent in which businesses is prohibited from collecting personal information unless permission is given by the consumer. Policies such as these should be adopted by organizations and things would prbably go a lot smoother as far as privacy issues are concerned.
