sarangarun008 — 2024-05-18 02:49:26 UTC

Information literacy" means being able to recognize when you need information and having the skills to find, evaluate, and use it effectively. It involves critical thinking and the ability to tell reliable sources from unreliable ones. Information literacy is not just about finding information but also about understanding its context, relevance, and implications.

Q #2: How will you need information literacy skills in the specific industry in which you will work after graduation?

sarangarun008 — 2024-05-18 02:51:45 UTC

In business, it's important to be able to find and use information to help make good decisions. This means looking at things like market research, financial reports, and what's happening in the industry. It's also important to check if the information is reliable, understand how people behave when buying things, and keep up with what's happening in the economy.

Q #3 Give specific examples ( e.g. as a teacher, a chef, a business manager etc.) of the types of lifelong learning and research you will need to participate in as a successful employee in your specific field ( the program you are studying at Humber College)

Reviewing the sections on Academic Dishonesty and Misrepresentation of Personal Performance in Humber College's academic regulations, I found a couple of points that might be less commonly known:

Q #1 Among the five essential values related to academic integrity, which one/ones do you feel is important to you and why?

sarangarun008 — 2024-05-18 03:44:07 UTC

Responsibility is important because it means being accountable for my actions, admitting when I'm wrong, and working to do better. Responsibility helps build trust and reliability in both student and professional life.

Q #2 Do you think academic integrity should be practiced in the workplace as well as in our academic life? Give one example to show how academic integrity plays a crucial role in the workplace. (You might need to do some research on this topic. Remember to give appropriate citation).

sarangarun008 — 2024-05-18 03:45:49 UTC

Remember to practice honesty and build trust at work. For example, journalists must report accurately, truthfully, and without bias. Making up information, lying, or misrepresenting sources breaks these rules and creates untrustworthy news. In journalism, being honest ensures that people receive reliable information from trustworthy sources, which is crucial for our society.

Q #1 Do you consider yourself to be a high or low context communicator? Explain why and give a few examples to illustrate your answer.(approx. 100 words)

sarangarun008 — 2024-06-15 02:39:53 UTC

I'd consider myself a low-context communicator. I aim for clarity and directness in my responses, providing information that's explicit and understandable without relying heavily on context or prior knowledge. For instance, I explain concepts comprehensively without assuming familiarity with background information. However, I also adapt to the conversational context; if a user introduces a specific topic, I incorporate relevant details accordingly. This balance ensures that my responses are accessible and informative regardless of the user's level of prior knowledge or understanding.

Q #1 In the workplace, different cultures value different benefits. Some are intrinsic (internal) factors and some are extrinsic (external) factors. What specific benefits would motivate employees in your culture? How are they viewed in Canada?

In Canadian workplace culture, employees are motivated by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Here are specific benefits that typically motivate employees in Canada and how they are viewed:

- Competitive Salary and Benefits

Q #a Listing the positive points of your message in a bulleted list, while discussing the negatives in a paragraph

sarangarun008 — 2024-06-18 02:28:46 UTC

Ethical Implication: Grey Area
This method can help make the communication clear and organized, but it could also seem manipulative or misleading if it downplays the negatives or overshadows them with positives.
I might feel uneasy doing this because it could seem insincere to focus on the positives while downplaying the negatives.

Q #b Using a smaller font size to review the limitations of your product/service

sarangarun008 — 2024-06-18 02:30:11 UTC

Ethical Implication: Unethical
This is wrong because it hides or reduces important information about the product/service on purpose, which could trick customers.
I will not do this because it goes against being clear and honest in communication, which are essential for building trust with customers.

Q #c Bolding words/phrases in your resume to draw the reader’s attention toward certain skills and qualifications

sarangarun008 — 2024-06-18 02:31:41 UTC

Ethical Implication: Ethical
In resume design, it is generally acceptable to enhance readability and highlight key qualifications.
I feel okay doing this because it's a common practice in resume formatting, as long as the information stays accurate and truthful.
