Introduction:
Many students comment that they like that our class relates to the “real world.” This assignment accomplishes exactly that. During our course, there will be many current world events that relate directly to things we will be studying. You can find them on the daily news and in the sources listed in your syllabus.
Each student’s goalis to compare current news about an organization with our Organizational Behavior course topics. Then comment on how this organizational fits your personal preferences as you’ve come to understand them. After finding a current news story, write exactly how this news relates to our course, including your thoughts on it. Use only a Canvas discussion board.
For example, one student found a New York Times video about how Amazon treats its employees and compared it to motivation, job satisfaction, employee empowerment and organic organizational structure. She commented on how her personal style of motivation is affected, and on other personal thoughts. She entered it into a Canvas discussion board.
3. Create one original post to the discussion board by the 11:59 PM on the due date you chose in step 1
Find one news article. An acceptable news article:
• Has direct relevance to specific concepts in our course.
• Is less than 3 months old. The more current the better.
• Covers materials from our course.
• Can be a print article, online written article, TV, radio story, video, or other relevant media. You must be able to allow other students to see it by posting a link to it on your discussion board post.
Create a 200 to 300 word discussion board post.
1. Select 10 key words or topics from our course to relate to the article.
2. Briefly define all key words
3. Write exactly how your article demonstrates the key words or topics you defined
4. Communicate your personal thoughts on the article.
5. Post a question for other students to answer.
6. Review your draft for organization, grammar and connection to the course
7. Submit a well thought out and polished entry to the discussion board.
8. Include a copy of the article or a link to it.

4. Read at least 2 other students’ posts
Reading the ”Showrooms” is a great way for every student to:
• Learn how the concepts we are studying apply to the real world.
• Review for the exams, since exams are focused on applying our course to the real world.
• Enjoy the course more.
5. comment on 2 other students’ posts in a discussion board
Comment on exactly how the article related other aspects of our course. Every student is responsible for “adding to/commenting” on 2 showrooms. Comments will be graded on relevance to our course and on bringing new topics into the discussion. 250 words should be adequate.

Scoring – 300 points possible
• Personal Newsroom discussion board post and class presentation = 200
• Commenting on other posts. 2 comments at 15 points each = 100
The best efforts will:
• Thoroughly explain how our course topics apply in “the real world of business”
• Select an article that thoroughly covers the news story.
• Select an article that relates to a lot of course key words/topics
• Write about many course topics as they relate to your article
• Be well written
• Be thoroughly proofread
Tips and hints
Choose a news article that contains enough information to promote discussion on many course topics. If your article is too narrowly focused or too short, it would be impossible to relate to enough course topics. That would result in a bad grade for this assignment
Steps(suggestions)
Find a suitable article
Choose course topics and key words to relate to the article.
Write a 300 word discussion draft.
Ask other students to review and proofread your draft
Make final revisions
Upload article and discussion text
Check the discussion later to see what else you can learn from them.
Comment on other “Showrooms”

Exercises: Answer problems 1 and 2 from the “Exercises” section
(page 35) of Chapter 1 of the textbook.

Exercises:
Some hints on Chapter 1  Exercise 1  (page 35)
——————————————————————–
A useful reference on the CNSS model can be found
in document NSTISSI No. 4011 from the National Training
Standard for Information Security Professionals
( www.cnss.gov/Assets/pdf/nstissi_4011.pdf )

 

 

 

To answer Exercise 1 (page 35 of text) please refer to Figure 1.2
(CNSS security model) on page 5 of Chapter 1 of the text.

 

The CNSS model of Figure 1.2 identifies the nine interacting
factors that influence the security of any resource. The nine
key factors are:
(1) Policy:  which deals with info security policies in place,
(2) Education: which deals with education of users on security related issues,
(3) Technology: which covers the technology used to implement security measures
(4) Confidentiality:  confidentiality of info/data
(5) Integrity: addresses measures in place to ensure data integrity
(6) Availability: to ensure authorized users access to information in usable format
(7) Storage: issues dealing with data storage
(8) Processing: issues that cover the processing and handling of data
(9) Transmission: covers issues related to factors that influence transmission of data

 

 

 

These nine influencing factors can be modeled as a 3-dimensional cube as
shown in Figure 1.2, where the each of the three axes of the cube represent
three of these factors. When we consider the relationship among the three
dimensions represented by the axes shown in Figure 1.2 we have a 3 x 3 x 3
cube with 27 cells, where each cell represents an area of intersection among
the three dimensions that must be addressed.

 

 

 

In Exercise 1 you determine how you would address the different factors that impact
the security and protection of data/information pertaining to this class (such as student
information, student homework submissions, student discussion posts etc.) by applying
the CNSS model (Figure 1.2).

 

 

 

To apply the model, examine the intersecting cells on the CNSS cube from Figure 1.2
and determine how you could address some of the factors influencing security of class
information.

 

Some examples that you may consider are:

 

First you could consider the nine factors individually. For example,

 

(1) Confidentiality:  Only students registered in the course have access to the
course web page.

 

(2) Integrity: Students would have unit logins which would be their means to
access the course webpage via eCollege. Students can only alter or modify
their own work, and cannot change or delete another student’s submitted work.

 

(3) Availability:  The university would ensure that the eCollege site is accessible
to all online students with minimal downtime for maintenance and upgrades.

 

… etc.

 

After you have addressed the individual factors, you can address the intersecting
cells in the CNSS security model of Figure 1.2. Some examples include:

 

– Confidentiality/Policy/Storage – This cell represents the intersection of the
factors Data Confidentiality, Security Policy, and Data Storage. This can be
addressed by adopting the following policy:– “Only students registered in the
course are able to access course related material and student discussion posts.
Additionally, homework assignments are only viewable by the instructor and the
applicable student”

 

– Integrity/Policy/Processing – formed by the intersection of the Integrity, Policy,
and Processing cells in Figure 1.2. This can be addressed by having a policy such
as:– “The course would have a policy that would all work submitted by the students
must represent their own work, and would properly cite all sources referenced.”

 

– Availability/Education/Processing – formed by the intersection of the Availability,
Education, and Processing cells in Figure 1.2. This can be addressed by having a
policy such as:–

List The Major Causes Of Perceptual Distortion, Journal of the Audio Engineering Society vol. 42 no. 3 pp. 115-123. 

/in /by

Chapter 6 discusses four types of perceptual distortions: stereotyping, halo effects, selective perception, and projection. Define each of these types of perceptual distortions and provide a full example of each perceptual distortion.

For all discussions questions a primary response of 300 word must be posted to the discussion forum, the post must be submitted by Wednesday at midnight. Each student is to post a reply to another students’ posting (minimum 200 words) and must be posted Sunday by Midnight. All late submissions will receive a zero grade.

Requirements (please read)

For each discussion, you are required to write an initial post (300 words) and one secondary post (200 words).  The discussion forums will be worth 40 points apiece—25 points for the initial post and 15 points for the secondary post.  For your initial and secondary posts, you must have two academic peer-reviewed articles for references.  You must get them from the library.  There are directions at the top of our Moodle page showing how to utilize the library.

Grading for discussions.

  • All discussions must be completed on-time and must include in-text citations and references in APA style formatting. If you do not use in-text citations or they are not in APA format you will lose 3 points.  If you do not have references or if they are not in APA format, you will lose 5 points. (You do not need citations and references for secondary posts).
  •  You will lose 10% based on word count if your posts are too short.  For example, your initial post is 300 words, if you have 250 words you will lose 5 points.  50 words short times 10% (50 x .10 = 5).
  •  If any part of your post is copied and pasted (ANY POST), you will receive a “0”.  I will not ask you about it and you will not have a chance to resubmit the post.

Perception is the choice and association of ecological data to give significant encounters to the perceiver. It is the way toward comprehending tactile information. Perception fills in as a channel or guard so we are not overpowered by every one of the jolts that assault us. We have to focus on three parts of perception: arranging information, selective consideration, and perceptual predisposition.

We have various perceptual distortions that outcome from our specific method for arranging data and extra core interest. Some normal distortions incorporate halo/horn effects, projection, selective perception and stereotyping.

·         Stereo Types: Stereotyping is the very successive aftereffect of quick, programmed perception and attribution forms when we are managing individuals we consider to be not quite the same as us. A stereotype is a misrepresented evaluative conclusion or judgment about a gathering of individuals connected to a person. Stereotyping happens when we characteristic conduct, dispositions, thought processes, or potentially ascribes to a man based on the gathering to which that individual has a place. Because stereotyping is so normal in the public arena does not mean we ought to acknowledge stereotypical relating as unavoidable. Stereotypes have negative results seeing someone at work.

Example: Applying the total characteristics of the old individuals to an old individual.

·         Halo Effects: A halo impact happens when one characteristic of a man or circumstance is utilized to build up a general impression of the individual or circumstance. Like stereotypes, these contortions will probably happen in the association phase of perception. Halo effects are basic in our regular day to day existences. When meeting another individual, for instance, a lovely grin can prompt a constructive initial introduction of an in general “warm” and “legit” individual. The consequence of a halo impact is the same as that related with a stereotype, nonetheless: Individual contrasts are clouded.

Example: If it accepted that if a man is grinning then that individual can be considered as a legit individual when contrasted with that of glaring individual.

·         Selective perception: Selective perception is the propensity to single out those parts of a circumstance, individual, or question that is reliable with one’s needs, qualities, or mentalities. Its most grounded affect happens in the consideration phase of the perceptual procedure. This perceptual mutilation is recognized in an exemplary research consider including administrators in an assembling organization. At the point when requested to distinguish the key issue in a complete business approach case, every official chose issues predictable with his or her utilitarian zone work assignments. For instance, most advertising officials saw the key issue zone as deals, though creation individuals tended to see the issue as one of generation and association.

Example: If a moderator can see a similar grinning face when the arrival of new data, at that point the mediator can frame his/her own particular perceptions in transaction.

·         Projection: Projection is the task of one’s close to home ascribes to different people; it is particularly liable to happen in the translation phase of perception. An exemplary projection blunder is delineated by directors who expect that the requirements of their subordinates and their own particular correspond. Assume, for instance, that you appreciate obligation and accomplishment in your work. Assume that you are the recently delegated administrator of a gathering whose occupations appear to be dull and schedule. You may move rapidly to grow these employments to enable the specialists to accomplish expanded fulfillment from additionally difficult errands since you need them to encounter things that you, by and by, esteem in work.

Example: If delays in negotiations are not all acknowledged by a gathering then it expects that it will display dissatisfaction at the season of undertaking declaration

Response-2 (Dinesh)

 

Perceptual distortions is nothing but incorrect understanding the things, or in other words it can say abnormal interpretation. Perceptual distortions usually occurs when the things are commonly perceived from others responses to varying with stimuli. We can all always relate things with mental disorders, drugs, sensory organ etc.

Different types of perceptual distortions are mental set, personality, halo effect, stereotype, first impression, attribution and selective perception.

Stereotyping

Its perceive about the group of people belong to one categories, based on characteristic group they belong.

For example, all the Irish ladies are very beautiful and good looking, statement two all Mexicans are pleasing guys. In all cases those two statements won’t be correct. It may be tampered in most of some cases.

Halo Effects

Judging the things based on one characteristics only, if the impressions is created on things that will influence entire community.

For example, we differentiate them with iphone and android users most of people buy android phone because of we can install free apps, easy to use and less in price but iphone doesn’t have those things still buy a iphone saying its iphone dude that so crazy about it.

Selective perception

Selective perception is nothing but perceiving the things what they want and ignoring the things want what they don’t want. Mainly the people like who are human judgement give people or decision making people are doesn’t fit under this one. They always support their things only on one side view only that to certain characteristics only.

For example, in media they will tell about any government both bad and good things, but selective perception people all ways takes only one thing in that one.

Projection Distortion

The way people looking the things, how the people co-relate the things with that corresponding events around them. Projection distortion is nothings but how the people are possessing or expressing their feelings about any things. Mainly people with Projection distortion means they can influence the other people perception very easily. This distortion will come under the personality distortion  only.

For Example, when I am trying to capture or accruing others personality behavior means its nothing but a projection.
