You will compare and contrast Currier Grocery (the organization you currently work for) and the one organization you select. To guide your research and personal job notes, address the following in the template provided:

Compare and contrast the characteristics of each organization’s form. Specifically, be sure to identify the characteristics of each organization’s form and take note of the similarities and differences between each.
• Organizations are typically organized or structured into groups of functional areas. These functional areas develop groups of staff, or departments, to ensure the smooth flow of information and operations within the organization structure. Describe the role of key functional areas within each organization. Consider the following:
  • What key functional areas exist within each organization?

 Review the business organizations in Supporting Materials and select one. You will compare and contrast your current employer, Currier Grocery, to the organization you selected. Prepare and organize your notes into 2 to 3 pages. All references must be cited in APA format. 

In a virtual world (VW) of massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), collaboration and communication are provided through the Internet between MMORPG-ready devices such as the Microsoft Xbox, and Sony PlayStation, and by using the Web browser. Gamers around the world can play against other gamers without seeing their opponent face-to-face. The Internet and MMORPG devices have become a social phenomenon. For example, a mobile game, called “Game of War” enables players to play against each other anywhere around the world. Other diversions include Second Life which isn’t really a game at all, but rather just that, another life people can live online through their online persona. 

Before you begin this assignment, engage in an online game or experience such as Game of War, Second Life, or Words with Friends, which has a phone app you can download free or play from your computer on the internet or even as a Facebook app.  Any game where you are playing against a live person over the web.  If you have difficulty finding an online multiplayer game, reach out to your instructor for guidance.

Write a paper with screen shots from your experience in which you complete the items below. Be sure to include what your choice was in the introduction paragraph. 

1. Describe cognitive social phenomena that occur specifically to the context of the MMORPG that wouldn’t happen in a face-to-face checkers game.
2. Compare and contrast the MMORPG user interaction environment to the face-to-face environment where a board game like Scrabble is being played. Next, identify whether or not the environment has an impact on the player’s ability to play Words With Friends in an online environment.
3. Outline and describe the user interface requirements that a game designer needs to include in order to engage players in a MMORPG environment.
4. Use at least (3) quality resources in this assignment. NOTE:Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources
5. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
   1. This course requires use of new Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different from other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.
   2. Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
   3. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.

1. What advantages are offered by commercial forensic packages? Are there any disadvantages to using them? If so, what are they?

For this assignment you will need to find 2 partners: One should be someone you know, but not very well. This may be a class mate or co-worker. The other should be someone who knows you very well. A best friend or family member would work well for this. 

With a person whom you know or have some familiarity with, face each other for 5 minutes. Without speaking, write down everything you know about this person and have them write down everything they know about you. Do not talk during this time. When the 5 minutes is up, briefly go over the list you wrote about them and have them go over what they wrote about you. While discussing your lists, if you decide that you were incorrect about something on their list, you may change what you wrote about them. They may also change something about you if they decide they were not correct. YOU MAY NOT CHANGE WHAT THEY WROTE ABOUT YOU. Exchange lists so that you have what the other person wrote about you. 

With a person that you know well, repeat this same activity. You should now have two lists that identify characteristics about you.

Use MS Word to create a Johari Window. Create four window panes labeled according to the model on page 55 in your text. Using the two lists fill in each window with the appropriate characteristics. Things that you know about yourself that are on the list should be in the open window. Things on the list that you disagree with or did not realize goes in the blind window. Things you know about yourself that are not on the list likely goes in the hidden window. (Don’t get too personal, but put something there to show you understand the theory). What goes in the unknown window? Give examples of something that may be appropriate for that window.
