Role of Typography in Visualization

Background: According to Kirk (2016), typography will have a significant role in your visualizations. You have to be careful with your text, but you must also be concerned with how the text looks. This then leads to color and functional harmony. You must provide the balance of colors in your visualizations (Kirk, 2016). The harmony of colors you select during design will impact many aspects of the overall visualization.

Assignment: Write a research paper that contains the following:

Your research paper should be at least 3 pages (800 words), double-spaced, have at least 4 APA references, and typed in an easy-to-read font in MS Word (other word processors are fine to use but save it in MS Word format). Your cover page should contain the following: Title, Student’s name, University’s name, Course name, Course number, Professor’s name, and Date.

Deciding which color to use when coming up with a text is a quite a challenging endeavor. A person has to consider a lot of factors before settling on their preferred color scheme. Complementary colors are any two colors that appear to contradict each other within a color spectrum (Nuwer, 2012). Combining complementary colors in most cases results in them canceling each other and gives rise to an entirely new color. Examples of complementary colors are red and green or blue and orange. One of the benefits of using complementary colors during typography is that it helps elevate the level of contrast and, at the same time, creates a sense of stability.

Communication skills

Discuss why communication skills are important to organizational success and why recruiters focus so much on finding leads with good communication skills. What happens when there are problems with communications in the workplace (re-work, low morale, product delays, dissatisfied customers, etc.)? Use at least one resource to support your key points.

Answer preview

When hiring new employees, recruiters focus on finding leads with good communication skills because of the following reasons. First, recruiters want people who can participate in teamwork. Today, organizations have realized the value of teamwork in the organization. It because teamwork promotes faster completion of tasks and minimizes chances errors. Therefore, for employees to collaborate with other team members, they must know how to communicate well with others. Secondly, many companies are focusing on retaining their customers by listening and satisfying their needs (Magatef & Tomalieh, 2015). As a result, recruiters look for employees with good communication skills to listen and communicate well with customers.

Answer preview

Emotional intelligence also plays a part in determining an employee’s motivation levels (Pignatelli, 2015). The moment my emotional intelligence lowers, I will most likely start to react adversely to negative stressors within the working environment. People with low emotional quotient typically deal with unpleasant emotions such as despair and anxiety, an aspect that makes it easier for them to feel demotivated. An employee suffering from depression will find it harder to overcome any obstacles they encounter at work, which means that they will react negatively to such obstacles (Pignatelli, 2015). Rather than motivate employees, these obstacles will increase an employees’ despair levels, which often leads to a decline in their motivation to overcome the obstacle.

Child Abuse

Compare the physical assessment of a child to that of an adult. In addition to describing the similar/different aspects of the physical assessment, explain how the nurse would offer instruction during the assessment, how communication would be adapted to offer explanations, and what strategies the nurse would use to encourage engagement.

Answer preview

During the assessment, a nurse can offer instructions to patients by informing them about the process and what the patients should do. In doing this, the patient can be prepared psychologically for a procedure that can bring discomfort or embarrassment. When providing explanations, the nurse can use communication to explain complex terminologies using basic language. It is because patients may fail to understand some terms, which can make an assessment ineffective because of misunderstandings and confusion (Ali & Watson, 2018). Another way is speaking at a pace that enables a patient to follow what the nurse is saying. A patient may end up missing important information when the nurse communicates too quickly.

Studying Communication

Our discussion for this week starts to dig into the first chapter. First though, we are also going to discuss learning. I want you to develop goals for yourself this semester. Please list three goals. Answer the question-how your are going to accomplish the goals-what is the plan? So if you have a goal of doing my homework early. How are you going to do that? Maybe that means putting the homework on a calendar or a task list. Maybe that means you create a to-do list on your computer. Whatever works for you. The list that I posted is designed for face to face learning, but adapt to online learning.

1) Using the goal list as a guide, develop 3 goals and explain how you are going to accomplish those goals.

A challenge in online learning is the social interaction that can happen in face to face learning situations seems to be lost. So read the Learning is Socially Interactive handout. Given that we understand that learning is enhanced by social interaction, how can we incorporate that into this class?

2) How can we (as a class) incorporate good social learning practices in our class?

I have posted a communication model for you. It is a transactional model of communication.

3) Explain why this model is transactional. Look at the Context element. What are some examples of how those factors might influence a communication interaction? Look at the Communicator elements (Culture, Education, Experiences, Moods, Emotions) give some examples of how these factors influence your interactions.

4) Why do we study communication?

Answer preview

sender is communicating. Some of the factors that influence communication interaction are gender, culture, religion, education, and age. For instance, the religion of the communicators influences the terminologies and responses used during communication. Age influences my interactions in that the way I communicate with my peers is not the same as when communicating with an older adult. When communicating with my elders, the language that I use is formal and full of respect. When communicating with my peers, the language will not necessarily be formal, and teasing will be present in the communication.

Critical issues in terrorism moving into the future

The Future of Terrorism

What do you consider the most critical issues in terrorism moving into the future? What should be the primary focus of those tasked with protecting against terrorist attacks? Be sure to include specific examples based on what you have learned throughout this course.

Answer preview

The people responsible for protecting against terrorist attacks should give their primary focus on understanding how terrorism is evolving to know which threats are posed by terrorism in the future. According to Bennett (2018), understanding terrorism evolution would help security departments in coming up with measures to counter future attacks. For example, the security department can distribute information about terrorist threats to stakeholders to inform them which measures to embrace. Doing this would enhance preparations against terrorist activities in all sectors. It is because the security department can deploy the most effective technological solutions, which help to increase the effectiveness of the preparedness of fighting terrorist threats.

Ethical standards in management communications

Part 1

In a 250-300 word response, describe a conflict situation you have experienced in the workplace. Explain the impact that the communication process played in resolving or escalating the conflict? What was the resolution? If positive, how could you incorporate that conflict resolution style in your communications? If a negative result, what recommendation could you make to improve the communication process. Use references to support your findings.

Part 2

In a 250-300 word response, relate an organizational example of the use or lack of use of ethical standards in management communications. The example may be from your own workplace or from a business situation with which you are familiar. Support your answer by indicating why you believe it is an example of communicating in an ethical manner and why you believe the decision was made to communicate in the particular manner. Use references to validate your analysis.

Answer preview

A conflict situation is a circumstance in which parties share disagreements that arise from a contradiction of social values and structures. I work with an accident management program where we manage the process of subrogation for our clients. On a particular day, we had a seven-day call set up to address some customers’ complaints. The incoming calls increased, and tasks became overwhelming for employees, which generated a workplace conflict. One customer started to yell over the phone, complaining about the services provided by the program. According to the client, the organization is supposed to call all drivers every day to ensure they present the correct documentation. However, this statement was false because these terms were not included in the contract. The client became furious and begun to use foul language, which was displeasing; thus, one of the employees decided to end the call.

Interpersonal Communication

This week we are talking about and learning about perception and how it influences our communication.

Read Chapter 4 in Interpersonal Communication by Kory Floyd.

Discussion questions for the week:

Watch this video and respond to a question below

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=59&v=F-TyPfYMDK8&feature=emb_logo (Links to an external site.)

 

  • After watching the video above, how do you think the idea that the photographers were given shaped their pictures? What are the differences between the photographs?
  • What inaccurate perceptions do people often have of you? Why are people prone to making these perceptual mistakes? What perceptual mistakes concerning other people do you find yourself making?
  • Read “Prejudiced thoughts run through all our minds — the key is what we do with them” and reflect on your bias. How can we do to improve our perceptions? How can we make our bias less limited?
Answer preview

My bias is gender-based because I believe that women should not perform specific roles in society. My family and religious background have significantly shaped how I perceive gender. A woman should be submissive, and the man is the head of the house. However, there is not the case since there are families where the father is a stay at home dad while the mother is the breadwinner. I can improve my perception by first understanding my prejudicial thoughts because they impact biased actions. I can make my bias limited by connecting with the opinions of other people. Acknowledging and owning the pain of being judged will limit bias since hurting others goes against one’s values (Hayes, 2020). Also, committing to change helps to minimize the impact of prejudice on others. Therefore, motivation to listen more and step back for others to contribute helps express compassion and avoid bias.

However, social media has raised many problems that employees and employers must address. For example, social media has caused role-blurring, where workplaces’ activities coincide with personal activities (Offer, 2014). It is because people find themselves receiving calls from the organization or coworkers during their free time, making it hard to completely separate working time and personal time. Social media use has also created chaos between supervisors and employees, especially when employees participate more in social media than the organization’s tasks (Charoensukmongkol, 2014). From these problems, it is clear the employees need to communicate more with other people, while employers need more commitment from employees.
