Then, answer the following questions:

1. What is Meyer’s thesis (there are a couple of parts to it)? What are at least 2 pieces of evidence she provides to support her claim?

2. Do you believe that we are all liars? Do you think lying is a socially frown upon but actually accepted in our society?

3. What is one method you learned to help identify liars?

4. What are at least 2 rhetorical strategies you see her use to convince her audience? Explain how they work in her argument.

Read Chapter 10 in McShane and Von Glinow HERE is the book name : McShane, S. L. and Von Glinow, M. A. (2018).Organizational behavior: Emerging knowledge. Global reality(8thed.).New York: McGraw-Hill Education.

Read “How Leaders Create and Use Networks” HERE IS THE BOOK NAME : HBR. (2011).Harvard Business Review’s 10 must reads: On managing people.Boston: Harvard Business Review Press.

The text discussed eight types of influence tactics in organizations. Choose three of these tactics and share how you have used them in the past. Were they successful? How could strengthening your network change your use and application of influence tactics?

The post should a) answer the question posed by the instructor and b) critically analyze, to the best of your ability, the implications of the subject matter at hand. I expect that these posts will be 2-3 paragraphs in length and be written in a relatively formal academic style. Please ensure that you utilize APA to cite your references to the text.PLEASE go deeper in the answer and be analysis

After submitting the answer I will send to you students answers and their reply to my answer and you have to write replay to them 1 paragraph for each replay ( no more than 6 replies you will write).

CITATION should be JUST THIS

1)We have spent the past weeks working on the individual visualization layers and last week we learned how the layers all fit together. This week we will concentrate on creating visualizations (write) and consuming visualizations (read) (Kirk, 2016). We must first learn how to understand the visualization as a viewer and at the same time use our skills, knowledge, and mindsets to achieve excellence in data visualization design. We will focus on “The Seven Hats of Data Visualization.” Select one of the “Hats” and expand it for your classmates.

Remember your initial post on the main topic should be posted by Wednesday at 11:59 PM (EST). Your 2 following posts should be commenting on your classmates’ post on different days by Sunday 11:59 PM (EST). You should end the week with 3 total discussion posts.

A quality post is more than stating, “I agree with you.” Maybe you should state why you agree with your classmate’s post. Additionally, post some examples or find a related topic on the internet or University’s library and comment on it in the discussion post.

Data: Advanced Graphs in RStudio (ggplot2)

Background: We have moved from simple graphs to advanced graphs to visualize our datasets. In our last data assignment, I told you where to place your data fields. In this assignment, you will place the data field based on keywords in a sentence.

Assignment:

Use RStudio to generate advanced graphs (using the ggplot2 package) using the dataset below.

Use the following videos to learn the commands to produce advanced graphs in RStudio:

Video 1: RStudio – Advanced Graphs – Part 1.

Video 2: RStudio – Advanced Graphs – Part 2.

Graphs to Produce:

***** Do not forget to tell RStudio what fields are factors! *****

ggplot2 – Bar Plot: (Use dataset_price_personal_computers.csv)

• Plot the ram sold in the computers.
• Breakout how the computer screen sizes based on the ram.
• Position the computer screen sizes side by side.
• Drill down the dataset further based on premium.
• Label the x-axis.
• Label the y-axis.
• Give the graph a title.
• What story is presented in this visualization?

ggplot2 – Histogram: (Use dataset_production_of_rice_in_indonesia.csv)

• Plot the distribution of the wages of rice production. (Use a binwidth = 5)
• Breakout the land status of ownership.
• Drill down the dataset further based on the varieties of rice produced.
• Label the x-axis.
• Label the y-axis.
• Give the graph a title.
• What story is presented in this visualization?

ggplot2 – Box Plot: (Use dataset_tipping_data.csv)

• Plot the Day vs Tip of the meals.
• Breakout the time of day.
• Drill down the dataset further based on gender.
• Label the x-axis.
• Label the y-axis.
• Give the graph a title.
• What story is presented in this visualization?

ggplot2 – Scatter Plot: (Use dataset_edgar_anderson_iris_data.csv)

• Plot the petal length vs petal width of the flowers.
• Breakout the species of the flowers.
• Drill down the dataset further based on the species.
• Label the x-axis.
• Label the y-axis.
• Give the graph a title.
• What story is presented in this visualization?

Please put all screenshots in an MS Word (other word processors are fine to use but save it in MS Word format). Don’t upload the screenshots individually in the assignment folder! Submit your assignment on or before the due date.

Memento Mori, Remember Death will come.

For this weeks’ topic, let’s imagine how we’d like to “leave this mortal coil,” to “make our exit,” or to “start pushing up the daisies.” The chapter reading for this week gives us ample examples and suggestions, a kind of blueprint, for how we could image this. These range from the personally eccentric examples laid out in the “Going out BIG” section, to the monumental markers on an architectural scale laid out in the section on “Ego,” or would you prefer to be physically preserved forever for all to see?

These are just some starting points to get you inspired- you don’t have to answer these questions, they are meant to fire up some ideas within your brainstorming.

• Are there special items that you’d like to accompany your corpse? Maybe it’s that favorite light saber, lucky hat, wedding ring, your baseball card collection, an important religious object, or that 1967 Chevy Camero with white leather interior?
• Do you want to share your (cremated) remains among your loved ones? What should they do with them—put them in amulets on chains, in an urn on the mantle, or resting in more traditional place like a cemetery?
• Or would you select a burial, in your favorite car perhaps, in a custom Kane Kwei-style coffin shaped like a chicken, or in a giant crypt with your favorite 60” television, with a full bar and a butler, or with any of the other things you need in the afterlife?
• Do you want a ritualized celebration honor with fireworks, dancing, or the Pope, or any other religious figure’s, blessing?

These examples are all rooted in ancient traditions, the art of which is covered in this chapter, that predate our contemporary traditions. Keep in mind that these scenarios are imaginary, so be as creative as possible.

Here is an example from a recently deceased pet in my family. Milli, our basset hound was 15 years old when she died a few months ago. For your posts, make sure to provide images.

1. She is buried in the back yard, where family can visit anytime. It’s a quiet space, with other pets that have passed, which is a “community” gathering place, like a traditional cemetery.

a. Traditional cemetery

2. We buried her wrapped in a favorite dog blanket, with a bacon chew toy, and sage. These are things she may need in the afterlife and objects that she enjoyed in life.

a. Ancient Egyptians/ Qin Shi Huang’s tomb (terra cotta warriors)

3. There is a memorial on my bookshelf, with ofrendas: a toy, a flower, some treats

a. Day of the Dead remembrances

4. We have an annual memorial planned for the future.

a. Dogon dama funeral; anniversary rituals

5. We saved some dog hair and placed it in a special container to hold onto a physical part of Milli to maintain a sense continued connection.

a. Reliquary that houses a physical part of the deceased
