The stage show A live, stand up a presentation where you introduce an audience to a new idea for the first time. It can be in the form of: Big, stage-setting images (a place, a product, a person) Highly simplified data charts with just one, really one, message Place holder slides (either empty or with a few words) Cold call In this case, an email attachment or a link to a web site that needs to grab the recipient’s attention who is not necessarily interested in your idea is used.

Societal Influences on Juvenile Delinquency The social context in which adolescents develop influences their behavior. The environment shapes the behavior of a person, and people are products of their environment. Theories related to the social environment best explain decisions by the juvenile to participate in juvenile delinquency. The social environment, which constitutes permissive families, delinquent peer groups, and unstable neighborhoods, contributes to juvenile delinquency. Exposure to violence in the family at an early age increases the youth’s delinquency at their adolescent. Some settings with illegal markets like drug trafficking and gangs provide opportunities for children to learn and engage in delinquent behavior (Agnew et al., 2001). Social learning theory, which attributes delinquency to the social environment, best explains juvenile delinquency. It claims that individuals learn delinquency primarily through their association with others. They can learn it from their environment like family, school, neighborhoods, and delinquent peer groups (Akers et al., 2006). learning occurs through reinforcement and imitation of models who teach the favorable definition of crime. Data indicates that the people one associates with have a significant impact on whether…

What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Impromptu Business Downsizing? Downsizing refers to reducing business size and overhead costs to increase productivity, competitiveness, and efficacy. Sometimes external factors such as a decline in the economy or new technology invention can lead to a company downsize, leading to fewer staff members to operate the business (Cascio, 2010).
