SAP

During the SAP game the S team ranked second to last or third to last each time.  I wouldn't say that we had an efficient strategy, we set our sales in the moment.  One of the biggest reasons our profits were low were due to an excessive amount of advertising in each region.  We seemed to keep each price of each item a dollar over retail price.  Some strengths we had were we were a very open group and nobody solely wanted to be in control which allowed us too experiment a little more than probably a lot of the other groups.  At one point we sold some of the water at a price of a dollar which caused our profit to plummet.  Are main weakness was a lack of strategy and to much marketing,  This project has taught me the importance of lowering prices when stock is high and raising prices when stock is decreasing quickly.  Also I have learned setting the prices of different waters high will cause the other items to sell faster. I enjoyed this project a lot and I wish we could have had time to plan a better selling strategy first because selling the most products is not always the best way to make profit.

Tisk Tisk

The company has strict social media rules to protect its reputation, and forbids the posting of any negative comments on any social media site or social work.  Apple is not in the wrong because the employee agrees to the companies policy before they are hired.  It is immature and unethical to talk negatively about an organization publicly.  If one is concerned about a certain policy there are other ways to request an appeal to company terms.  "Spreading defamation among co-workers is prohibited."  Also, as a Salisbury football player we too encounter these policies.  This past season a player was dismissed from the program because of negative remarks on Facebook about the team.

Snooze

Yes, I currently use my cell phone to make decisions throughout the day.  For example, when I wake up my cell phone alarm clock sounds and I decide how much time I have to hit snooze before class.  I have used my cell phone to decide when to meet a friend at a certain place by text messaging.  My coaches often send text messages last minute to meet at certain places at specific times.  Without my cell phone I would lose track of time and I would not be able to contact any of my peers for information throughout the day.

I should have kept it

Over this past weekend, regarding the social media, my friends and I got together and had a few things to eat and drink.  Prior to the get together my friend volunteered to purchase the drinks and for myself to reimburse the cover charge.  As I agreed my friend and I sat down and enjoyed the football game and he had thought I had paid him back and everything was even.  When I noticed he did not have a concern for the money I confronted him and told him if it was anyone else I would have kept the money and spent it on myself.  Although the value of the situation was not of value of many ethical decisions. I feel a honest track history of ethical situations can only be beneficial for ethical decisions in the future no matter the value.

18th Standing Strong

    The American Nation does not value education as much as other Nations, such as South Korea and Japan.  United States fall in 18th place out of 24 Nations.  The problem begins with a foundation as a baby learning from your parents and it is remained constant by less educated teachers teaching the youth. CBS news published an article titled "Poor Marks for U.S. Educational System".
    The CBS reporter states "Learning begins at birth" and is fostered by "a loving, secure, stimulating environment."  I agree with this statement because the parents initiate and influence the learning process for their children throughout nurture and secure teachings gaining trust and knowledge.
    Aslo, I believe the teachers in the United States provide a negative influence due to pressure caused from parent phone calls ensuring their child receives a good grade.  These negative influences cause a viscous cycle of less educated teachers teaching the youth, which produces a higher population of less educated teachers, who than teaches the youth. 
    American education is skewed, but can be positively influenced by producing free pre primary education, teachers with advanced degrees, and positive media on education.

Wheres my cell phone!?

Over several years of school technology has advanced classroom activities.  For example, in the class I have used clickers, calculators, and smart board technology.  To study I have also used calculators, google, YouTube, and dictionary.com and there are many other valuable sources used throughout the Internet.  I feel that technology is not necessary for learning, but it is definitely a valuable tool to learn things faster, organization, and to use different learning methods for a better learning experience.
