    Joseph McCarthy held congressional hearings in which he often used affiliation and hearsay to accuse people of being communists and a threat to the United States. What was unknown at the time was that while his methods were often distasteful and abusive—and possibly illegal—he did successfully identify some dangerous communists. Do you think he should be considered a patriot or not? Why?…

    The three dimensions of business problems are Organizations, Technology, and People. An example of organizations would be the rules and regulations that are set forth from within the company from the higher ups. If organizations did not set up these rules and regulations then the employee’s would just do what they thought was correct and everyone would be going in different directions and not working as a team to accomplish the same goals FedEx’s organization is set up so when they receive a package, everyone will follow specific procedures to ensure the information about the package is loaded into the system correctly so the package can to get to its final destination on time. Technology is anything from computer hardware to software to networking to the World Wide Web. Companies such as FedEx use technology to their advantage to keep track of all the packages and provide status checks with all of these forms of technology. They can now pinpoint potential delays or misdirection of packages and get it corrected sooner by using computer systems that talk to each other. The people are skilled in what their specific job is within a company to ensure that the overall goals are met. With FedEx there are hundreds if not thousands of different jobs that all have to be accomplished just for someone to send a package and it to get the destination on time. If FedEx did not have drivers, pilots, IT personnel, then the packages would go nowhere and they would be out of business. All companies must be set up with these three dimensions and a full understanding of each dimension to be successful.…

    Just like in any business you are constantly designing marketing ideas that have a lot of pictures. When you try to upload a photo to a word document you are limited to where the picture will play out. You have to down size the photo, make sure you are either to the left of the page, center or right side of the page. When you insert a canvas you can place the photo anywhere you like within the canvas. You may want the picture to be in the middle of a group of works or the upper right corner. This allows you to do that. Businesses can include bitmapped images like a screenshot, create various drawing that can be moved individually, and insert charts. In addition to these uses, the main use of creating a canvas in Word documents is for annotating a picture with a callout.…

    The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA) was established to protect consumers from the increasingly intrusive methods employed by telemarketers. Information technology advances such as auto-dialers, predictive dialers, and automated faxes made it easier to reach large numbers of businesses and households in a relatively short time. These methods were not only highly annoying to consumers, but through the use of these devices, telemarketing companies were also passing some of the cost of marketing onto the consumer. Consumers on the receiving end of numerous calls from various companies throughout the day were spending time that could have been spent in other activities and were rightly frustrated about the loss of their time. In the case of automated faxes, resources such as paper, ink, and even the data connection being used to receive what is essentially junk mail was a cost the consumer had no way to avoid. Fortunately, lawmakers responded to this unethical action of telemarketing companies with the TCPA. Specifically, the law makes it illegal to use auto-dialers and pre-recorded voice messages to make sales calls to emergency phone lines, medical offices, hospital rooms, homes for the elderly, paging services, or cellular phones. It also requires the recipient of pre-recorded telemarketing calls to give prior consent to receive the calls. It also made it illegal to send unsolicited fax messages. The law also gave states their own authority to regulate telemarketing practices. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) enforces the rules set forth in the TCPA. The FCC was also given authority to issue regulations beyond the TCPA in order to continue to protect consumers from abusive telemarketing practices. This provision shows that Congress recognizes that over time changes in information technology may make the TCPA insufficient to meet the task of consumer protection ("EPIC - Telemarketing and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)").…
