Write a 1,000-word critical report

Course name: Emerging Technologies and Issues
Write a 1,000-word critical report about a technology company employing an emerging technology, identifying some of the ethical, political and/or social issues around its design, framing and/or deployment.
The word limit is 1000 words +/- 10% and excludes the reference list.
1 or 2 issues based on critical analysis (no more three)
7 or 8 references
Assessment Guidelines
The goal of this assignment is to demonstrate your understanding of some of the critical issues we have been discussing in the unit so far and to demonstrate your research capabilities.
You should imagine that you are writing a critical analysis about a technology or company for a popular media audience: what does the general public need to know about this company that is not self-evident to someone who hasn’t had the opportunity to study it in ARIN6906 at The University of Sydney!? What do they do? What do they claim about it? What are the potential issues and concerns?
Part of the assessment criteria is the identification of a relevant case study; try to find something that is an example of what we have talked about, but that we haven’t talked about in class so far (e.g. Uber, Amazon, Self-Driving Cars). You will have an opportunity to discuss your case study in the tutorials for preliminary feedback.
A strong essay will indicate independent research to find an example of a technology start-up that is using, for example, AI or Big Data, and apply the discussions we’ve been having in class about AI and Data to that technology to contribute novel critical analysis.
You should draw on primary source materials such as the company’s website and interviews with staff (e.g. founders often do interviews) to describe what they believe their technology can do. Do not take what they say at face value!
Consider the example case studies from the lectures (e.g. Amazon and Uber). What are these companies not saying or acknowledging? What are the un-said risks and implications of their technologies? Get beyond the ‘tech hype’ and apply a critical lens.
Make sure to avoid reductive deterministic arguments about technology (see Week 3). Consider situating your case study within ethics (Wk2) or technology philosophy (Wk3).
Your report should be written for a non-academic audience but should include references to material covered in the lectures and readings, as well as other sources you have researched yourself. Do not reference the lectures.
Your work should be engaging to read; something that you might show to a fellow student or colleague who was interested in the technology you selected.

For this assignment, assume you are the executive director hired for the regiona

For this assignment, assume you are the executive director hired for the regional communications center in your community. As the communications center executive director, you oversee law enforcement, fire, and ambulance services in your jurisdictional area (e.g., city, county, or region).
You must write a research report that is suitable for an audience of your chosen governing body (e.g., council, commissioners, or town board) that will address the actions you will take and the resources you will need to correct a major communications center deficiency. Due to a whistleblower complaint, it was recently discovered that the call processing times at your regional communications center were falsified by your predecessor. Your 90th percentile times for emergency call processing is now 3 minutes and 1 second. Address the elements below in your report.
Develop a new organizational matrix for the emergency medical communications within the center.
Include an introduction describing the knowledge, skills, and abilities that are required of communications center dispatchers.
Explain how metrics will be used and data performance will be relayed.
Explain how timely call processing will be balanced with empathetic dispatcher interactions.
Identify relevant communication center tools, such as a computer-aided dispatch system with mapping.
Detail potential liability consequences if this communications center deficiency is not addressed in a timely manner. Provide the state or federal regulation that governs this situation.
Your research report should be at least two pages in length, not counting the title or reference pages.
Support your report with at least two academic sources. All sources used should be academically credible. All sources should be formatted using APA Style for both in-text and reference citations. Use APA Style to format this assignment.

This paper should explain why I am the perfect candidate for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The program I am interested in pursuing is Media and Communication. Please see the attachment with my resume and a guideline on how to write a personal statement.

you will write a 4-6 page paper, 12-point font, double-spaced, in which you will take ONE rhetorical theory and apply it to a text of your choice and analyze how that theory helps you explain why your rhetorical text is persuasive. For example: How do the four analytical components of visual rhetoric theory help us understand why people like the Mona Lisa so much? Another example: how do we use the six tenets of public memory to understand the persuasive components of the Holocaust Museum?
To earn a high grade in this assignment, please attend to the following:
1. Pick a rhetorical text/artifact. This can be a specific: song, piece of art, music video, book, speech, uniform, monument, museum, place, movie, tv show episode/season, or other. Pick something YOU are interested and you want to spend 4-6 pages analyzing why it’s persuasive.
2. Pick a rhetorical theory. Choose a theory we have discussed from this semester to apply to your text. Theories may include: Trust Appeals (ethos, pathos, logos), Rhetorical Situation, Audiences, Personas, Classical Argumentation, Narratives, Publics/Counterpublics, Visual Rhetoric, Public Memory, Rhetorics of Difference, or Disability Rhetorics.
3. Find a minimum of THREE sources to back up your paper. These sources will likely help you in your context section as you explain the text you chose. These sources can be from the internet and Baylor Libraries. Wikipedia does not count as a source. Your sources must be formatted correctly in APA, MLA, or Chicago style to earn credit.
4. Read the sample essays I have provided in Module 5. You will notice these papers are longer and include two theories, as they are part of a full semester’s of work. You will not need to write 6-8 pages and include 2 theories, but these papers will help guide you in my expectations since I cannot work with you on the paper over weeks of the semester.
5. Look at the Final Paper Rubric to understand my grading scheme and more information of each section of the paper. I expect: an intro paragraph with a thesis statement, a page of background context on your rhetorical text (the who/what/when/where/why of your text, and where you will likely use your 3 sources); an explanation of the theory you chose, and then applying the components of that theory to the text to help us understand how your text persuades audiences.

Report topic
Gather information about a career or position to which you aspire.

Report topic
Gather information about a career or position to which you aspire. Learn about the nature of the job.
Discover whether certification, a license or experience is required. One of the best places to search is
the latest Occupational Outlook Handbook compiled by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Google the
latest Handbook and either input your desired occupation using the Search box or click an A-Z Index
Link. Also, determine what training, education and/or other background you might need to be
promoted into such a position. Evaluate your strengths and weaknesses in relation to this goal.
Your Task: To write a report to your instructor that describes your targeted career area/promotion,
including the following:
 Discuss the nature of the work, working conditions, necessary qualifications, and the future job
outlook for the occupation, including any special considerations if you are in the US on a visa.
 Provide information about the career/position gained through interviews with one or more
individuals working in similar positions.
 Create a SWOT analysis for your potential to be considered for this career/position.
 Include any additional personal insights regarding information that would affect your
employability/promotability.
The length should be in the range of about 1000 words +/- 10%. Longer is not necessarily better, but it
should not be fewer than 900 words nor longer than 1100 words.
Make sure that your report contains all of the following headings, shown below in components of a business report.
Components of a business report
A business report contains a collection of objective data that the reader should consider. The report can contain suggestions
and recommendations, but its primary purpose should be to present facts and information. Please note this important
distinction. A report is not a proposal. A proposal is a sales pitch with the single objective of promoting an idea. A business
proposal spends most of its time promoting suggestions and recommendations. A business report spends most of its time
presenting objective facts. Proposals propose. Reports report.
Please include all of the following headings and sections in your report:
Title Page
Business reports generally follow a formal structure, unless they are very short email reports. Most moderate to long reports
begin with a title page. The title page shows the full title of the report, the name of the author and the names of audience
members or groups.
Executive Summary
This brief summary presents the purpose, methods, scope, findings, conclusions and recommendations of the reportl. A
high-level business executive might choose not to read the entire report, but instead to read only the executive summary.
Write the summary with enough detail to provide a busy executive with the most important elements of the report.
Table of Contents
The table of contents page usually comes immediately after the title page and before the executive summary. It should show
each section of the report by name and page number.
List of Figures, Tables, Abbreviations or Symbols (optional)
A good rule of thumb is that if your report includes more than five figures, illustrations or tables, you should list them by
page number, immediately after the table of contents page. If the reportl contains abbreviations or symbols that might not be
familiar to all readers, include those abbreviations and symbols, plus their definitions and explanations in this section. Not
all reports need to contain this section.
