Social Research Tutor - Simple Tips to Find the Right One For Your Business

Social Research Tutor - Simple Tips to Find the Right One For Your BusinessToday, there are lots of business owners who are searching for a reliable and successful social research tutor to help them find their customer's name and other relevant information on the internet. It is important that you choose the right one for your business, since it can help you to get maximum benefits out of online networking. In this article, you will learn some simple tips that will make it easier for you to find the best online research tutor for your business.First of all, you have to look for a reputable social research tutor. Some of the key points that you should keep in mind include: if he/she is experienced, trustworthy, and easy to contact; if the tutor is trained by other business owners; and if he/she uses different platforms to teach. In general, you want to hire someone with a good reputation and experience in providing tutoring services.Next, you should check if the tutor has high reputat ion in the online world and has helped many people to use his services. You can also check his/her testimonials or references. Do not hire someone who does not have any recommendations and reviews about him/her, since that is a great indication of poor performance. This is because those people who have no idea about the tutor usually agree with negative reviews about the tutor.Second, you should always seek recommendations from professionals or students who have used the tutor, since these can tell you if he/she knows what he/she is doing and how he/she can provide the best service. For example, if you have an online store and you hire a social research tutor, the recommendations that the tutor gets from students or other professionals could help you in improving the overall performance of your business. This is one of the best ways to judge the credibility of the tutor, since you can easily trust the reviews and recommendations from the students or the professionals.Third, it is im portant to search for a tutor who is highly skilled in both written and oral communication skills, so that you do not waste your time or money on someone who only knows how to write. In fact, if the tutor you are hiring knows how to write and communicate well, then it is already proof of the tutor's ability and expertise.The fourth step is to search for a social research tutor who can teach your business effectively. All those services that you are hiring should be customized for your business needs. In other words, if you hire a social research tutor who only provides marketing advice, then you would not get a great and useful result.Finally, it is important to note that you can only provide the best results for your potential clients if you know how to successfully approach them. So, make sure that you choose the right person for your business.

Are Public Universities Protecting Students First Amendment Rights

Are Public Universities Protecting Students' First Amendment Rights pexels.com The first amendment states, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Though multifaceted, the amendments focus is on the American peoples right to the freedom of expression. We are allowed to worship who we want and how we want, express  any ideas we   have no matter how controversial, and peacefully protest decisions or persons with which/whom we disagree,  provided we do not infringe on the liberties of another person. For example, someone is within  their first amendment rights if they give a speech protesting an organization or stand outside public property holding signs, handing out leaflets, etc. Someone is outside of  their  first amendment rights if they obstruct traffic without informing law enforcement so that a detour may be arranged or if they loudly protest  near a building with classes going on. A handy guide outlining students rights to protest on campus may be found here. The  violation of first amendment rights comes when an institution restricts or limits students ability to worship, express their thoughts publicly, or peacefully protest. Pinpointing such a violation can be tricky particularly when  most universities  have vague policies like  engaging in any offensive, obscene or abusive language, or in boisterous or noisy conduct reasonably tending to arouse alarm, resentment, or anger in others, (Source.) While a public institution is perfectly within its rights to disavow conduct in such terms and to prosecute perpetrators of conduct that violates the rights of a student, blanket bans on offensive language can be problematic because offense is subjective. Of course, there are cases where offensive intent is obvious, such as slurs and threats of any kind, and if a student ever feels that his or her right to life, liberty, or property is in danger, he or she should contact authorities immediately. If, however, a student finds another students vie wpoint and, we assume, the language they used to express this viewpoint offensive, the student has no constitutional grounds to silence this viewpoint. pexels.com According to the Supreme Court in Texas v. Johnson, if there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that the government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable. Texas v. Johnson even held that flag burning is within a citizens rights so long as it is for the purpose of ideological expression and not to destroy property or endanger citizens. As American citizens, the desecration of our flag should make us cringe. We are entirely within our rights to support or condemn such actions so long as we recognize that the flag burner is within his rights. The same principle applies for unsavory viewpoints. Two people, one with  influence and  one without,  may fundamentally disagree with each other on an issue and be within their rights. They may attempt to silence each other through logic, evidence, and crowd support and be entirely within their rights. When, however,  the person in power attempts to deprive the person without power of their ability to express their opposing viewpoint, he is depriving  them of their first amendment rights. The issue of power here is key anyone can attempt to silence anyone and when there is a balance of power, this is usually not an issue. When one side has the influence to tip the scales against another and does so, then constitutional rights are infringed upon. Obviously, in the case of universities, the balance of power is shifted in favor of the institution as it should be. Students have a voice via their right to peaceful protest and student government associations. The question, then, is how do universities simultaneously disavow behavior that shocks the human conscience and protect students first amendment rights? Heterodox University, a politically diverse group  of social scientists, natural scientists, humanists, and other scholars who want to improve our academic disciplines and universities, suggests universities adopt some version of the following First Amendment Rights Protection Code: At [your school’s name], we know that exposure to diversity broadens our minds and prepares us for citizenship in a diverse democratic society. Research shows that the kind of diversity that most improves the quality and creativity of thinking is viewpoint diversity. When everyone thinks alike, there is a danger of groupthink, prejudice, dogmatism, and orthodoxy. People in the majority benefit from interacting with individuals who see things differently. At a time when American democracy is polarizing into antagonistic camps and informational bubbles, many colleges and universities are becoming more intellectually and politically homogeneous. Orthodoxies arise, dissent is punished, and quality declines. We do not want that to happen in our community. We therefore welcome heterodoxy, meaning that we want to support those within our community who hold dissenting or minority viewpoints; we want them to express themselves freely and without fear. We value viewpoint diversity not merely out of compassion for those in the minority but also because such diversity helps us all to develop skills essential for life after graduation, including the ability to judge the quality of ideas for ourselves, the ability to formulate arguments against ideas we reject, and the ability to live and work amicably alongside those whose ideas and values we do not share. What do you think? Do you think Heterodox Universitys First Amendment Rights Protection Code is too much or not enough? What role do you think universities play in influencing and developing students political views?

Things No One Tells You About Being an Intern

Things No One Tells You About Being an Intern Image via Isorepublic.com   The first few days will be an overwhelming information overload… Be prepared, because the first day of your internship will be an information overload. You will likely go to orientation and social events, where you will be given many instructions and meet many people. You will likely sit through multiple presentations. You might even be given some reading material to help you get started in your position and to learn more about the program or company you will be working in. The first day of your internship will be fun and exciting, but it will also be hard for you to remember everything. To help you remember what you learned, you should bring a notebook and pen to quickly jot down notes about who you met and what was discussed during orientation meetings. It’s also a good idea to bring a folder to store any papers you might be given, since you don’t want the papers to get lost at the bottom of your backpack. Having these supplies within your reach will help you prepare for the fun, overwhelming, information-heavy first day of your internship. …But you will become a pro in no time! Don’t get discouraged or overwhelmed by all the information you need to take in on the first day. Similarly, don’t be discouraged if you do not understand things the first time around. You won’t be like your co-workers, who have been in that workplace for a longer period of time. You should not expect yourself to have all the skills and knowledge on the first day of your internship. Isn’t the whole purpose of the internship to give you those skills and knowledge? Instead, focus on improving yourself during the internship. Throughout those few weeks, you will see how much you learn and grow (not only as a young professional, but as a person, too!).  Throughout your time at the office, you will practice the skills you have learned until you become so good at it, it will become second nature. By the end of your time at your internship, you will become a pro at what you have done there. However, this will not happen overnight! Give yourself time to learn, and you will become an efficient, skilled worker. Don’t be afraid to ask questions Especially on the first day of your internship, you will have a lot of questions and will need some guidance to start your project. Do not be afraid to ask for guidance or to ask any questions you might have. When people say “there is no such thing as a dumb question”, they are right! You will be a better worker if you have your questions answered. It’s better to ask a “dumb” question than to make a mistake on a project because you did not ask for help. Instead, ask for help when you need it, particularly when you are first starting out and still learning how things work at the office. Asking questions will save you lots of trouble throughout the course of your internship. Infographic by Alyssa Laffitte It’s important to have a mentor Your mentor is likely the person you will go to with your questions, so it is important to have a mentor to help you out. Your mentor does not necessarily need to be your boss. In fact, you might not even see your main boss every day, so your mentor will need to be someone who is in the office with you day-to-day. Specifically, your mentor should be someone more experienced in the field, who is available and can dedicate time to train, coach, supervise, and guide you. This person will help you when you get stuck, and make sure you are learning what you need to learn. Specifically, they should be available to train you during your first few days at the office. Your mentor will be a resource to help you be successful in your internship. Forming a relationship with a more experienced co-worker that can help you throughout your internship will make all the difference in your internship experience. You should use your internship as a networking opportunity Of course, a major part of an internship is gaining experience in your chosen field. However, another important part of an internship is to network with people who have already established themselves in the field. The people you meet at this company could help you find a job in the future, or they might introduce you to someone who will (OR, you might help them!). It is always a good idea to expand your professional network. Part of networking is maintaining the relationships you formed during your internship even after you leave; specifically, the relationships with your co-workers and your boss. This can be as simple as sending a quick email every few months giving them an update on your life. Keeping in contact with your internship network might make them more willing to write you a recommendation letter when you need to apply for jobs or graduate school. Similarly, if you want to work at the same company, they can put in a good word for you. These are the benefits of knowing many people in the field. While you are completing your internship, make an effort to get to know people in the workplace and keep in touch with them even after you leave. You never know if you will need each other in the future! Effective communication is crucial in the workplace You have heard this many times, but communication is crucial in the workplace. Effective communication will form you into not only a good worker, but a good friend, too. You must mean what you say and say what you mean. Similarly, you must make an effort to be sure you understand what other people are saying. This will prevent misunderstandings that will lead to problems. Here are some general tips for effective communication: Ask for clarification when you do not understand something. Just as you should not be ashamed to ask questions, you should not be ashamed to ask someone to clarify the message they want to communicate to you. Use the “parrot” technique. The “parrot” technique involves repeating back to someone, in your own words, what they said to you. This will give the other person the opportunity to correct any misunderstandings you might have. In other words, it ensures you received the message the other person was trying to convey. Think before you speak. Before you say anything, take a second to think about the best way to convey your message. It may sound simple, but it is very important! Ask if the other person understood you. Following these tips will help you communicate well, and in turn, avoid misunderstandings in the workplace. You should treat your internship like a real job Although your job may “only” be an internship and you may “only” be an intern, you should treat your internship like a real job. In other words, you must take it seriously. You must arrive and leave on time, keep lunch breaks to a reasonable length, follow the rules, respect your co-workers and boss, and genuinely try your best in your work. These are all things you will need to do when you have an actual job. If you treat your internship like a real job, you will be more likely to be a successful intern. You will produce high-quality work and gain the respect of your co-workers and boss. They will see your true potential, that you will be a fantastic worker to have on their team! Distractions will be a big problem, but you can avoid them Part of respecting your workplace and treating your internship like a “real job” is to keep all distractions away. For example, even one notification on your phone can ruin your momentum. Scrolling on social media for just one minute will do the same thing. These distractions will keep you from doing your work. They will break your workflow and your concentration, and it is scientifically proven that it will take you a few minutes to return to your original level of focus. Also, if you have already been distracted, it will be difficult to break away from your distraction and return to work. For that reason, it’s better to avoid the distractions in the first place! To avoid distractions, you should keep your workspace as clean as possible. For example, do not have unnecessary tabs open on your Internet browser. (If you’re like me, those “unnecessary tabs” are likely social media websites, which will be very tempting to open when you are bored at work.) Similarly, you should physically stash away distractions, too. If your work does not require it, do not use your computer. If you must use your computer, download a browser plugin that will block certain websites during work hours. You should also physically stash away your cell phone, too. Although distractions are tempting, they can be avoided with those tricks. When you avoid distractions, you will be a more productive worker. In turn, you will gain more from your internship experience. On the last day of your internship, you should ask your boss for feedback When your internship comes to an end, it would be a good idea to ask your boss for feedback. Asking for feedback shows you are eager to learn and continue improving yourself. Your boss will appreciate that. Specifically, you should ask about the areas in which you need to improve. Don’t take this feedback too personally. Instead, use it to become a better worker for your next internship or job. Additionally, you can also ask about the areas in which you performed well. You will know to continue doing these things. Your boss’s advice can help you grow to become a better, more productive worker. Image via Isorepublic.com Your internship is a valuable learning experience At the end of the day, your internship should be a learning experience above all else. You will learn not only the technical details and the day-to-day life of someone who works in your desired field, but you will also learn how to be a good worker, connect with others in the field, and decide if it is for you. You will learn a lot about yourself as a person, too. For this reason, you should take a few minutes after you finish your internship to reflect on your experience. Did you enjoy it? Why or why not? Could you see yourself doing something like that for the rest of your life? If you liked the industry, could you see yourself working full-time in that workplace? It’s okay if you ended up not enjoying your internship experience. An internship is a great way to decide if you want to stay in an industry or not, and if you didn’t enjoy it, maybe you should consider pursuing a different field. It’s better to switch majors now than to change an entire career path later on in life (although it can be done, it’s better to find out sooner rather than later if you do not like a specific field). All in all, see your internship as the learning experience it is. Use it to guide your next steps in life as you discover more about yourself and your field of interest.

Get your Children Involved in Volunteering During Martin Luther King Day of Service or Any Time of Year - ALOHA Mind Math

Get your Children Involved in Volunteering During Martin Luther King Day of Service or Any Time of Year Are you a parent who is still a bit frazzled from having your children home from school over the extended holiday? Why not approach this coming weekend holiday, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, a bit differently. Why not get you and your children involved in a volunteer project via the national MLK Day of Service on Monday, January 19, 2015. What is Martin Luther King Day of Service all About? Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s Day, originally a celebration of the birthday (January 15th) of the fallen civil rights leader, has been a U.S. Federal holiday since 1983 and is celebrated on the third Monday of January. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, Lifes most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?' The national Martin Luther King Day of Service was signed into law in 1994 and since then, each year several hundred thousand individuals receive help on MLK Day of Service, from thousands of other individuals participating in projects across the U.S. Some of these service projects are large, others are created by individuals like you and me and all can be registered on the National Service website listed below.* From toy drives, to clothing drives for needy children, and gathering canned goods for the local food bank, to planting trees or cleaning up trash in a local park, or even working at a soup kitchen, everyone can do their part. But Why Should I get my Kids Involved? Volunteering, or helping others, actually helps you and your child. -It can build a sense of confidence -Engender a sense of contributing to something greater than one’s self -It can show children how the completion of smaller tasks leads to a larger overall task. -It can show the power of what a group of individuals can do together -If your child latches onto an idea and becomes the driving force behind an MLK day of service project it can bring out leadership skills. Here is a link to an article about why helping others, including volunteering, makes us feel happy. On an even lighter note, it can also be a creative way to keep your children focused and active on what might otherwise turn into another day of “I wanna sleep late and there’s nothing good on TV today.” How Do We Get involved? The government’s National Service website has a specific page with information on how to find or create a project: Click here for info on the MLK Day of Service: http://www.nationalservice.gov/special-initiatives/days-service/martin-luther-king-jr-day-service-0. You can also check out their Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/mlkday. One easy way to find an existing project near you is to check Volunteer Match they have a whole page of MLK Day projects. http://www.volunteermatch.org/seasonsofservice/mlkday/ Here are some other places to find ways to volunteer: AmeriCorps, Citizen Corps, Volunteer.gov Guide to Disaster Preparedness:https://www.staysafe.org/how-to-prepare-yourself-and-your-community-for-natural-disasters/ Recently at a local church 70 people got together with an organization called Stop Hunger Now and filled, packaged and boxed 13,000 meals, a just add water, nutritious soupin just two hours. This is an example of an event that you may be able to get your kids involved in doing. Imagine all the people who could be helped if everyone got involved more often.
