The anthropologist Margaret Mead suggested that there should be an international writing system so that people of different cultures and languages could communicate. For example, most of the Western world uses Arabic numbers (1, 2, 3, 4) – even though they are called different things in different languages (e.g. one, uno, un, ein).

In today’s world, can we think of emojis in a similar way? Can we use emojis to communicate a message to those who don’t speak our language or come from a different culture?

For this discussion you will create a two sentence message using emojis.

Go to the website https://emojikeyboard.io/

Create a two-sentence message using any of the emojis available. Along the bottom of the page there are many different categories of emojis to choose from. Once you complete your message on the website, you should then cut and paste it in the discussion board as your initial response. Please don’t write anything else in the discussion that may help your classmates translate your message.

For your first reply to a classmate – select a classmate’s post that has not already had a reply. See if you can translate their emoji message. Please discuss why you translated it the way you did using examples of the symbols they posted. How do you think your culture (or subculture) affected the way you translated the message?  

For your second response – reply back to a person who translated your message. Let them know how close they came to your original message. Discuss what may have gotten lost in translation and why. For example, did they take a symbol literally, when it really has another more common figurative meaning? Using the learning resources this week, what are the cultural reasons that they may have either gotten or missed your message? Discuss how this exercise relates to the issue of language and culture? How do you think culture affects how people may translate symbols, or other types of messages?

**For this discussion, the rubric will be switched. Your replies to classmates will be graded as your initial post since that is where you will be writing most of your discussion this week. Your emoji message will be graded as a reply to a classmate in the rubric.

Provide your initial post by 11:59 pm on Sunday. Your initial post should be at least 200 words in length, excluding the discussion prompt and the references. Please use in-text APA citations within your post as well as full APA references at the end of your post.

Comments : 

 I believe it is important to study these application software. Almost most if not all companies, schools, jobs use these software. It is easier for them to use the software because it can be sent and used anywhere in the world. You are better able to organize and it is always easier to open and change if something is wrong or needs to be edited. It is very important to use because there always more to learn and it is a very good teaching tool to use. In schools Microsoft Office has been used and the quality for presentations has been better and the different tools to use while using MS Word is great. The different designs are awesome to use to spice up the words or the designs on either applications. So in my opinion yes, I think these software are very important. 

In the modern days those two tools offer for Microsoft office Microsoft Word and Microsoft Power Point are very important and help full. You can used for personal purpose and business too, in the personal purpose for example with Microsoft Word application you can write a report or redacting a complete investigation for any of your classes, or a resume for job application.

With Microsoft Power Point application is very help full for example in your job, because you can make and organized in slides a presentation of a new project, in administration department a complete and detailed budget month by month of the all company or a specific department.

The fact is that these applications are very helpfully because like I said before can help you a maintaining and organized all your data in same place your computer.

Topic:

 We learned that e-mail is a major area of focus for information governance (IG) efforts, and has become the most common business software application and the backbone of business communications today. In addition, the authors provided details to support their position by providing 2013 survey results from 2,400 corporate e-mail users from a global perspective. The results indicated that two-thirds of the respondents stated that e-mail was their favorite form of business communication which surpassed not only social media but also telephone and in-person contact. 

Question:

 With this detail in mind, briefly state why the e-Mail has become a critical component for IG implementation? Support with references.

Analyzing the Quality User Story 

​​​​​​​As a project manager, you are most likely aware that depending on the type of project and the SDLC applied, system requirements may be developed differently. For example, many current projects use the Agile SDLC and build requirements based on user story format. A user story is essentially a use case that describes how a specific user would interact with a system. An example of a user story tied to a customer using an ATM might be, “As a customer of the bank, I need to be able to access my account from an ATM to understand balances across all of my accounts.”

Reflect on the following:

• What are the attributes that comprise a quality user story, and why are these attributes necessary? Consider the result of poorly written user stories.
• Provide an example of what you would consider to be a quality user story. This example can be from experience, from a company you know of, or one that you create.

Driving User Adoption of New and Changed System

As a senior systems analyst or project manager, you are most likely aware that implementing a new system, or modifying an existing one, can create organizational change. This change can impact how employees work, how information technology teams support the business, and even how customers interact with the organization. Ensuring users adopt new systems or changes to existing systems is critical, as implementing a system no one will use becomes a wasted investment. User adoption should be considered by the business stakeholders no later than during the design phase.
