Discussion Post
A 50-year-old woman is admitted with chief complaints of headache and decreased range of motion in her neck. She also complains of vertigo, hearing loss in one ear, profuse sweating, and uncontrollable eye movements. Her past medical history indicates that she was in a motor vehicle accident three days before her admission.
- What are the possible causes of these symptoms?
- What specific diagnostic testing would you recommend? Why?
- What conditions should be ruled out? Why?
- How would you distinguish between these conditions?
Strategic Communications Plan for Tasmanian Wilderness Society (TWS): Franklin Dam Controversy
Prepare a strategic communications plan that could be successfully implemented in the Australian business and legal context. Must identify a corporation or organisation that will be their ‘client’ (i.e. a case study) for this assessment.
Assist a lobby group or industry association in influencing legislation formulation by means of a successful public advocacy campaign.
The goal of 2 is more obviously to carry out an outsider lobbying effort in the public domain in order to pass legislation through successful public lobbying. Once more, the goal is to sway public opinion among targeted populations in targeted areas in order to influence lawmakers to enact laws that will either preserve the status quo or improve the economic climate for a company.
The Tasmanian Wilderness Society (TWS) is the organization that you should choose. Campaign debate over Franklin Dam.
Problem to solve 2
Problem:
Controlling the resource of time.
-too much on the calendar forces the organization to do too many events at a 50% proficiency rate versus doing what is important to that unit at a 90% proficiency
– Creates improper planning timelines for large-scale resources to be applied against that event. For example, ammunition, fuel, food, and land for large organizations for multiple days.
– Technology erodes calendared events even further with the ability of the technology to make inflight adjustments or competing priorities. (Cell phone groups pin balling things around)
– Every second is accounted for at the higher echelon which give zero time to the subordinate unit.
– We are losing the ability to be thorough and discipline
Solution:
– Ensure events have a deliberate recovery time before another major event.
– Make sure there is time on the calendar for absolutely nothing to be done.
– Outlaw text groups during the work day for zero deviation and thoroughness.
Discussion
Step 1
For Season 1 of the series, explore the stereotypes your character encounters. (Approx 75 words)
- Define stereotypes within the storyline and explore how they might emerge and persist.
- How does your character inadvertently embody or challenge these stereotypes?
- When and how does your character stereotype others?
Step 2
For Season 2, delve into the theme of prejudice. (Approx 75 words)
- Explain how prejudice may arise through socialization and stereotyping.
- How do these prejudices impact the life and relationships of your main character?
Step 3
For Season 3, describe a pivotal moment when your main character realizes they can act against stereotypes and prejudices or do nothing. (Approx 75 words)
- How would this scenario unfold?
- What effect would it have on your character's perspectives and behaviors?
- How might inclusion and equity be realized for themselves and others?
WWF
Develop an effective internal and public lobbying campaign to assist a multinational corporation or industry lobby group in influencing the development of legislation.
Students are required to conduct research on the context, brands, products, public, and issues that are pertinent to their case study after selecting an organization and scenario. For example, the database Factiva is an excellent source of independent information and can be employed to locate all news stories on a specific corporation. In the same vein, Annual Reports are an exceptional source of information regarding a corporation's operations, finances, and values. Alternatively, primary research can be conducted with classmates and other students to test messaging strategies or understand public perceptions of a specific product, company, or issue through small-scale surveys or focus groups. Additional details regarding these research methodologies will be furnished during class.

A political campaign for a third-party interest group
need to prepare a strategic communications plan that could be successfully implemented in the Australian business and legal context. and must identify a corporation or organisation that will be their ‘client’ (i.e. a case study) for this assessment. The goal of this assessment is to develop a strategic communications plan applicable to one of the following scenarios:
1. Assist a multinational corporation or industry lobby group influence the creation of legislation through an effective internal and public lobbying campaign.
Once an organisation and scenario have been chosen, need to conduct research into the background, brands, products, publics, and issues relevant to their case study. For instance, the database Factiva can be used to locate all news stories on a particular corporation and is, therefore, a great source of independent information. Likewise, Annual Reports are an excellent source of information on a corporation’s values, operations and finances. Primary research in the form of a small-scale survey or focus groups in order to test messaging strategies or understand public perceptions of a particular product, company or issue. This communication plan should be written in report format and include the following sections:
1. Introductory Information
• Executive summary (introduce the organisation, the scenario and the aims)
2. Research and analysis
• Background to the problem, issue, scenario or brand
• Situation analysis
• Research findings (primary and secondary findings)
3. Strategy development
• Goals and Objectives (the latter needs to be measurable)
• Publics and Stakeholders
• Key messages and tactics
• Third-party actions (that you might depend on in order to make your communication effective)
• Risk management
• Ethical considerations
• Budgeting (be realistic by sourcing current industry prices)
4. Implementation
• Project management
• Timing
5. Evaluation and adjustment
• Measuring the effectiveness of messages, media, and outcomes
6. References (these will not be included in the word count)
This is an industry-focused assessment item. As such, can make use of bullet points and tables where appropriate, but fragmented expression should be avoided. Evidence will also be needed to support the strategic approach outlined in the communications plan. Accordingly, should provide in-text citations and a list of references. Both academic and industry sources will be valuable sources of evidence and should be cited using the APA system of referencing or footnotes (uses APA 7). All communications plans must be submitted to the Turnitin assignment drop box.

Type: Poster "Infographic – External resource audit: Destination"
Learning Objectives Assessed: 1, 2
Due Date: 27 Aug 24 16:00
Weight: 45%
Individual Task
Working INDIVIDUALLY, students independently engage in a critical evaluation of TH&E natural, cultural, and social resources of a chosen destination,identify its main management challenges, and provide management strategies to solve (preventing, mitigating, or managing) the issues.
The assessment has two parts:
Part A (Spreadsheet Audit): You are to conduct an external resource audit of a chosen regional destination (in Australia or overseas – from the list of regional destinations on Blackboard) and critically evaluate all the relevant natural, cultural and social resources for the chosen destination.
· A spreadsheet template is available on Blackboard to guide the audit process.
· You are to critically evaluate each resource's appeal, role in current visitation, sustainability, quality, and uniqueness.
· You then identify and reflect on the main management challenges and possible strategies to overcome those.
· Your completed spreadsheet must be submitted as part of this assessment, and completion provides the foundation for you to complete part B.
Part B (Infographic Poster): Based on your research and resource audit spreadsheet, you will prepare an infographic (using Canva’s or Piktochart 's Infographic free function, or similar) from a destinationmarketing perspective. An infographic is a visual representation of an idea or data, and yours should be succinct, entertaining, and eye-catching. Itshould cite the relevant literature and incorporate informative text and engaging images or graphics to appeal and explain your findings to youraudiences. ( https://www.canva.com/) (https://create.piktochart.com/infographic). Your infographic should address the following aspects:
· An overview of the destination (geographical location, types of attractions, visitor segment and statistics etc);
· A detailed audit highlighting two (2) examples of natural, cultural and social resources available at this destination. This will require you toinform on the resource i) quality, ii) uniqueness and iii) appeal for 2 natural resources, 2 cultural resources and 2 social resources;
· Explain two (2) resource management challenges for your destination. Evidence-based justification of the identified challenges isnecessary.
· Address each challenge strategically with one (1) possible management strategy that will overcome the challenge.
Your research should be based on recent academic sources (published within the past 10 years). Your reference list can be attached following the APA7 reference guide on the audit, the infographic, or a separate document.
