We are producing and consuming such massive amounts of data that it exceeds our ability to understand it through everyday human perception. Visualizing such large numbers in ways that we can immediately grasp them has been the driving force behind the rising field of information visualization. As Tom Corby has argued, “[These forms of visualization] are able to capitalize on humans’ natural ability to spot patterns and relationships in visual fields (cognition). This enables an intuitive identification of structures, which would not be available if presented in purely numeric form.”

For this assignment, you will design a visualization of what a data set of petabyte or higher is, so that an everyday public can get a strong visual sense of the scale of this amount of digital information. Begin by asking yourself some of the following questions: What kind of insight do I hope my audience will get out of this visualization? What sorts of comparisons would be impactful for an audience to truly comprehend the scale of a petabyte or even more (if you go higher than petabyte, explain what that tier is and why you went there)? In what ways can I concretize the size of a petabyte (or more) for the everyday computer user?

You may use any appropriate tool to create your visualization such as Photoshop, visualization software, or even draft your visualization by hand. (If you do your visualization by hand, be sure to scan your final product so it can be uploaded to the classroom.) Regardless of what tools you use to create your visualization, it must be accurately visualized to scale. While you may draw inspiration from existing visualizations (see THIS and THIS), you may not simply replicate them. You must come up with your own approach for this project.

In addition to your final visualization, you must turn in a short paragraph (~250 words or less) describing your rationale and justifications for your design. How did you come to this final product and how does it effectively communicate the size of a petabyte to a general audience?
Grading Rubric:
Thoughtfully designed visualization
Visualization offers insightful perspectives and comparisons

• Visualization can be immediately understood by a broad audience (i.e., it “makes sense” to everyday computer users)
• Visualization presents data accurately
• Visualization is impactful in its visual presentation
• Final product demonstrates effort
• Final product is well-edited with no mistakes
• Write-up clearly communicates process, rationale, and justifications for how it effectively communicates scale.
• Write-up is well written and edited with no mistakes.
• All aspects have been turned in correctly and on time.

For this lab project, you will create a map with accompanying write-up.

For this map, you may choose any Information Communication Technology (ICT), surveillance or tracking infrastructure to visualize in a map form of your choosing. (Note two attached past student examples.)You may or may not have to go out and do site-specific research; this really depends on how and where you choose and what the topic turns out to be.

As I indicated, some of you might wish to connect this research to your group project initiative or to something else you’re curious to figure out or place into perspective.Your project should be well-researched based on your chosen infrastructure.

Develop an illuminating visualization of this existing or hypothetical infrastructure, to the best of your abilities. You will also create a write-up that explains issues associated with the infrastructure you’re either documenting or proposing. Discuss choices and the reasoning behind them and if there’s any consequences or deficiencies connected to design or access to the visualized infrastructure. In other words, discuss what is learned from your visualization/map. How does this understanding transform the way that we think about your chosen infrastructure?

You will create at least a 150-word explanation of your individual map (but no more than 350 words). You should discuss the choices you made and the reasoning behind these choices. What do we learn from visualizing infrastructure in this way? You may also want to address how your visualization/map “tells white lies”. How is this approach vital for the success of your visualization?

For each map or visualization, you will be graded on the following criteria:

• Map clearly communicates data
• Creative approach to visualizing information
• Effective use of documentation in your map visualization
• Visualization is in conversation with the topics discussed in class and reading
• Well-written reasoning of design choices
• Write-up clearly and thoughtfully addresses problems of mapping
• Write-up is in conversation with the topics discussed in class and readings
• Goes beyond parameters of the project to show evidence of effort

Trigger Warnings and Microaggression are creating a Victimhood Culture

Diversity management is a reality in the world today because of the changes in movement of people that is enhanced by globalization and improved technological solution to deal with the problem. In the United States and other developed societies, emphasis on the concept and the need to recognize and accept the different cultures that constitute its population is high. While the imperatives for respecting and integrating minority groups into the dominant culture are clear and essential, there is an emerging culture in the country, especially within university community, that is turning diversity and inclusion over their heads and might result in the creation of new generation of adults that are overly-sensitive and incapable of engaging in serious intellectual conversation. The emphasis on the avoidance of speeches and actions that might be considered a form of microaggression, as well as behaviors and objects that result in trigger warnings is creating a victimhood culture that would deny people the benefits derivable from cultural intimacy and interactions.

Lukianoff and Hiadit defined microaggression as “small actions or word choices that seem on their face to have no malicious intent but are thought of as a kind of violence nonetheless” Also, they wrote that the meaning of trigger warnings is considered as “alerts that professors are expected to issue if something in a course might cause a strong emotional response” (42). While the definitions of these two important concepts have evolved since their emergence, the application during genuine conversations on unrelated issues that contribute to the intellectual development of people is the source of concern for many social psychologists and other scholars. One of the reasons for this concern is that the need to protect the sensitive of people on certain subjects is robbing them of the chance to learn about their history, culture, measures for understanding and dealing with some problem. While the avoidance of triggers is useful for rehabilitating victims of certain violent crimes such as rape and domestic abuse, the removal of The Great Gatsby from the selected readings of an English Literature class in the university is extreme. This action by university professors to protect their students from the repeat of their traumatic experience is not only ineffective but infantilizing them and creating graduates that would be incapable of dealing with their professional lives.

According to Sue, the victimhood culture consists of “practices that ignore cultural homogeneity but emphasizes the uses of sanctions from organized and powerful authority figure to protect and help others advertise their oppression as evidence of the disrespect and non-acceptance of the ethnic, cultural, and other identities of their group.” As a consequence of the new climate of trigger warnings and microaggression, this new culture is reaching new heights in the society and adversely impacting the value of the intimate interactions that diversity management programs in schools and the workplace are designed to accomplish. In the opinion of Mahzarin and Greenwald, “most of today’s racial discrimination stems not from attempts to harm anyone but from selective helping. We are each part of several groups, defined by race, gender, religion, family, alma mater and so on, and when we go out of our way to help an in-group member, we do not see that as a bad thing. We are being “good” people that are trying to help other” (10)

Meanwhile, the need to understand the dangers of microaggression and trigger warnings in the development of the victimhood culture that is counterproductive to the development of an ideal society can be examined from the emphasis on political correctness. This phenomenon is creating a stereotype and institutionalized discriminatory practices that several people are unaware of their negative consequences. People from the same dominant culture that was considered as oppressive and discriminatory are beginning experience the same prejudice that the victims of microaggression consider oppressive (Robbins 2). For example, the emphasis on white male privilege or the need to avoid participation in honest discussion about issues affecting group because of lack of authority to use certain words and phrases is the new form of discrimination that would likely impede progress towards diversity integration in the United States.

Pigeon Black noted that the moral status known as victimhood culture arose from the enabling social conditions that were provided and enhanced with the promotion of microaggression and trigger warnings. Unfortunately, it would continue to prevail and deny people the chance to interact with others without the bias and prejudices that misjudge their intentions, especially when their use of certain words and phrases are expected to sound politically correct. As a conclusion, our university and college campus are designed for the pursuit of intellectual development that the campaigns to win the sympathy and protection of third-parties from materials and discussions that were created for this primary purpose are preventing. Therefore, the avoidance of microaggression and trigger warnings examples of ideas and practices that is bad for students and workers despite its potential to protect them from the emotional discomfort. The consequence is the victimhood culture that would deny them the opportunity to develop the critical thinking and reason skills that are essential for success in their careers.

hello my prof gives us case study and we were two team Negotiate about this cases ( the cases in attachment)

——————-

The post-negotiation analysis will allow you to reflect on your in-class negotiation exercises. It helps you identify both successful and failed strategies and allows you to better prepare for future negotiations. In the analysis, you will describe your perceptions and significant insights gained from negotiation exercises. The discussion should focus on analysis and insights rather than narrative (i.e. what happened). Although not an exhaustive list, here are a few examples of the type of issues that you could address:

• 1-Who controlled the negotiation and how did they do it? ( for this question i want you to mention to the buyer mostly controlled because if the sale is delayed, the price will be reduced)

• 2-What were the critical factors that affected the negotiation situation and outcomes and what can you say about these factors in general? ( try to mention location and two or three more, see the case please)
• 3-How did the negotiation context differ from other exercises, and what new factors did this context highlight? ( try to mention in this did not put specific price for sale)
• 4-What did you learn about yourself from this experience?
• 5-What did you learn about the behavior of others?
• 6-What did you learn about bargaining and conflict from this situation?
• 7-What would you do the same or differently in the future, or how would you like to behave in order to perform more effectively?
