Agenda-setting theory

In 2008 Mark Steyn was on The Agenda with Steve Paikin, to speak about his book “America Alone” and the claims of his Islamophobia. Also on the show were three law students from Osgoode Law who came on the show to argue against the claims made about Islam in Steyn’s book and an excerpt published in Maclean’s magazine. The law students argue that Maclean’s should, either by their own will or by force, publish another article on the subject but with a counter opinion to Steyn’s. In this particular…

The reason I say this is because the lady member feels she can not complete the work because of what’s going on in her personal life. She constantly disrupts and feels the agenda is a joke because the task seems unrealistic. Another person that is playing the dysfunctional role is the older male member because he is constantly rushing the meeting so he could leave and go elsewhere. He was also pushing roles on people when…

the meeting is covering your expectations and that you have to make sure your attitude and behaviors towards each employee fits to their needs to have an effective meeting but other than that you can let the other employees really have a say on the agenda. At first I thought this virtual leader was going to be a lot of me telling the employees what to do and how to get them to do what I wanted. Well in all seriousness that seems more like a dictatorship. I am almost positive that is not how a…

There were 12 members in my LAPD group presentation including myself. It was my first time having to work with people that I have just met to produce a 50-minute presentation. Before forming a group, I was worried as we are to work in big groups and group size is one of the main factors that may affect a group performance. At first, I felt like we could not delegate our roles equally, as I had past experiences of doing most of the group work. However, during the first workshop, our tutor gave…

Tedious yet underrated, clocks are common objects located in almost all meeting rooms whether in the form of a traditional wall clock, a watch, or a device clock. Watching time pass remains a consistent burden that meeting attendees face, however, by substituting the idea of a clock with a countdown clock, attendees now have a reason to become excited when they see time ticking. A countdown clock substitutes the stigma of a monotonous time element with an intriguing fascination. In other words,…

I was contacted by the claims adjuster Renee Dubiel to reopen my case management file on Mr. Heintz, as he still requires a case manager. The previous company has closed their file. I spoke with Mr. Heintz regarding his general status and that I noted he had an upcoming appointment on June 4 with Neurosurgery. Mr. Heintz provided me with the address and reported that his aide would be transporting him to the appointment. Communication seems best with Mr. Heintz through text messages as Mr.…

“Up on Melancholy Hill” by the band Gorillaz is a song from their album “Plastic Beach”, which uses the extended metaphor of a beach formed by trash and plastic that has been collecting on the sea. This song takes place on the island, with two lovers looking out towards the titular Melancholy Hill, with the singer speaking to her.
