Advice

If I were you and about to start this class I would make sure to keep up with your blogs. This seems like an easy task, as well it should be, but if you wait until the last minute you will more times than not forget to write the post. This is not a huge past of the grade for the class, but I assure you it will make a difference. The other thing that I would suggest is to keep up with going to class on the regular. Most of the assignments you will have time to get started/done in class. Therefore, it is beneficial to you to go to class on a daily basis. My final piece of advice would be to go to the professor if you have a problem because more times than not they will work with you.

Response to article

This article seems to be addressing the issues of ethical decision making in the work place. The article says that 3 in 4 Americans experience ethical problems in the work place. This seems to cause the workplace environment to be somewhat volatile. 1 in 10 Americans believe that an ethical issue in their workplace will or could lead to a corporate scandal or nationally televised event. Ethics is always a problem because people go to work to make money. If an opportunity arises that could bring them more money and all they have to do is look the other way what would you do? That is the main question. Today most people will look the other way. This will increase your short term wealth but could bring your long term wealth/life into jeopardy. Unethical decisions will ultimately hurt the company's image in the eyes of the public. If this doesn't hurt the image it will definitely hurt the internal company moral. In the end, it all comes down to the golden rule and do to others as you would have them do to you. This is easy to say, but even harder to live by.

Web writing vs. paper

Paper and web writing, today, are pretty much that exact same thing. Today you can use programs like seamonkey or dreamweaver that help put your writing on paper into a html language that the web uses. Htlm stand for hypertaxt markup language I that allows the computer to read what you have written and put onto a page in a web browser. This language allows people all over the world to have access to your site or your work. Paper writting is easy to use and easy to hand to people face to face. When writting on the web you have to fully finish the piece of work and post it similar to how we post our blogs.
