/in /by adminI need help with a Psychology question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.
Review the following Internal Communication Strategy scenario for this company and answer the following question
1.Which internal communication mediums will you use to reach employees and low-level managers? Will the content of all your messages be the same for them all? What issues must you consider?Â
As our existing company (Education Connection) has been acquired by Virtual Learner, our newly merged workforces will face unprecedented challenges and must contend with tremendous organizational change. To facilitate this process, we must craft an internal communication strategy that openly and honestly highlights those challenges, emphasizes the potential for growth this venture will bring, and clearly delineates the strategic vision our company will pursue moving forward. While Education Connection is headquartered in Austin, Texas and has worked to connect students from the geographical region with online learning opportunities, Virtual Learner serves a customer base that hails from locations all across the United States and has the ambitious goal to enter the global market in the future. There are key differences in demographics where the two organizations are concerned: specifically, Education Connection’s workforce is comprised of a largely homogenous and experienced team of individuals while Virtual Learner’s workforce is far more diverse and has a more novel approach toward conducting business. Moreover, Education Connection has operated in a traditional office setting whereas Virtual Learner conducts most of its business remotely. Virtual Learner has a proven track record of helping underrepresented and underprivileged groups pursue their long-term professional goals; this effort is one that we believe will closely align with the values of our organization’s current culture and ambitions. This strategic communications plan will outline employees’ knowledge, perceptions and attitudes regarding the purchase, how we can influence those factors, incorporate details regarding the essential elements of a successful communication strategy, the channels our strategy will employ, and underscore the importance of ethics, codes of conduct, and Corporate Social Responsibility.

/in /by adminPrompt: The four quotations below offer several interpretations of the role of storytelling in our understanding of history, civilization, and culture.Â
1. “Very few things happen at the right time, and the rest do not happen at all: the conscientious historian will correct these defects.” –Herodotus
2. “Poets and storytellers are guilty of making the gravest of misstatements when they tell us that wicked men are often happy, and the good miserable; and that injustice is profitable when undetected, but that justice is a man’s own loss and another’s gain.” –Plato
3. “All great literature is one of two stories: a man goes on a journey or a stranger comes to town.” –Leo Tolstoy
4. “Only the story can continue beyond the war and the warrior. It is the story that outlives the sound of war-drums and the exploits of the brave fighters… The story is our escort; without it we are blind… It is the thing that makes us different from cattle.” –Chinua Achebe
This semester you have read a number of different texts. Some were told by bards and poets, others by historians and philosophers. Using ONE of the quotations above, develop an argumentative essay on the role of storytelling in our understanding of civilization and/or the human experience. Build on the ideas from the quotation to construct an argument about the relationship between culture, history, and storytelling. In your essay, use THREE examples from the readings assigned this semester as evidence for your interpretation of this relationship. This evidence can include historical events and primary sources covered in this course.

In this memo, you are asked to make a recommendation about how the city should act to address pollution and dangerous environmental conditions occurring in-and near-the American River. Please refer to the policy memo page for a template, an overview of memo requirements, formatting information, and helpful resources.
