If you were comparing two companies of different size (say one is at least 3 times larger than the other) with different products, what financial information (type of information) and financial ratios (at least 3) would you use to evaluate the two companies to determine your preferred investment? Of the ratios and financial information that we have studied so far, which do you feel are the least important (the least important 3 ratios)? Why do you believe each is the most important and least important?

Use these 3 Financial Ratios to evaluate the two companies to determine your preferred investment.
1. Profit Margin
2. Inventory Turnover
3. Debt to total assets

Use these 3 as least important.
1. Average Collection Period
2. Quick Ratio

Test the program 3 times by providing different costs in USD.

Provide the code and take a screenshot of the output, then paste the screenshot(s) into a Microsoft® Word document.

Write a half-page response in the same Microsoft® Word document to address the following:

Evaluate and revise ethical issues in visual media communication to improve awareness of social perceptions.

Evaluate and revise ethical issues in visual media communication to improve awareness of social perceptions.

You are the campaign manager for a well known environmental outreach organization. The current campaign is to bring awareness to the organization’s Ohio River Clean-Up Project. As the manager, one of your tasks is to review all content and visuals used by the campaign. You actively evaluate and revise any ethical issues that may be detrimental to the project, your organization, or society in general.

As you meet with one of the campaign designers, you identify several ethical problems with the new poster he has created. His poster includes the following elements:

  1. The poster image shows a group of poor, urban, African-American children playing alongside the Ohio River.
  2. The poster text states: “Let’s help them clean up.”
  3. The poster has several overlaid images in the corner of a few celebrities, which gives the impression of celebrity endorsement.
  4. There are no sources acknowledged anywhere on the poster.
  5. The poster has been digitally altered to make the African-American children appear thinner, darker, and dirtier.

Since you are flying out to a campaign meeting in one hour, you ask this campaign designer to hold this poster and wait for your video review.

You plan to take time tomorrow to create a seven minute or less video analysis. Using screen share, you can present the poster image visually and verbally instruct this designer how to correct several ethical visual issues. You realize you will not only have to identify the ethical visual issues and explain how to revise and change them, but you will also need to clearly describe to him the effect these unethical media issues will have on society.

fter reading Genesis 1:1-31, reflect on each of these key aspects of God’s creative process. Then, analyze how each of these four elements function within God’s creation of the world.

In our textbook, Echoes of Eden (2013), Jerram Barrs explores a key idea from another scholar, Daniel Loizeaux: the consideration of creativity under four categories:

1. Perfection

2. Diversity

3. Profusion

4. Inventiveness

After reading Genesis 1:1-31, reflect on each of these key aspects of God’s creative process. Then, analyze how each of these four elements function within God’s creation of the world. Present a minimum of one specific example from the passage to support your analysis of each element.

Describe the impact of the current digital age on the concept of self, including the impact of social media on the way we perceive ourselves.

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 9 of the course textbook, and review sections 2.5, 3.1, and 3.2 from previous chapters. Also, read the articles Children’s Sense of Self: Learning and Meaning in the Digital Age and Personal Self-Concept and Satisfaction With Life in Adolescence, Youth, and Adulthood (Dodge, Barab, Stuckey, Warren, Heiselt, & Stein, 2008; Palacios, Echaniz, Fernández, & Barrón, 2015).

The concept of self is a core concept for the study of personality, and most of the theories we have studied in this course postulate some idea about what constitutes the self. This week’s materials examine the self-psychology model, which presents several theories regarding how we perceive ourselves and how that perception is expressed in personalities.

In your initial post:

  • Identify two theories of self from those discussed in Chapter 9 that resonate the most with you.
  • Provide a brief overview of each theory, being sure to identify the principal theorists associated with each of your two chosen theories.
  • Explain why you relate to these theories.
  • Describe the impact of the current digital age on the concept of self, including the impact of social media on the way we perceive ourselves.
  • Explain whether or not our perceptions of self are evolving because of social media, including the idea of a digital self, and provide examples of how this might be happening or provide a rationale as to why you believe it is not happening.
