Creating a Schedule

Part I: Please create a detailed schedule for yourself that covers one week of your life, using some of the principles covered in this week’s readings and lectures. This schedule should include at least five listed items for each of the seven days of the week (at least 35 items total) and should be detailed enough so as to be helpful in your goal of proper time management.

The schedule should include items that are repeated daily (e.g. taking kids to school, going to work, etc.), items that revolve around your school work (e.g. study time, reading time, time to work on assignments), and items that would be unique to that particular week (e.g. doctor’s appointment, meeting, etc.).

Part II: Along with the schedule, include a well-developed paragraph in which you share what you found easiest about making the schedule as well as most difficult, and why you felt this way. Also, include a well-developed paragraph in which you evaluate why creating a schedule like this would help you to succeed as a student and how you will apply this concept in the future and/or how you have applied this concept in the past.

****Respond to this discussion forum in 300 words. That’s it.***** I normally do not have any problem seeing both sides of an issue. Having worked for the prosecution and the defense in different cases, I can easily switch support to either side of an issue. In preparation for trial, I was relied upon often to play the “devil’s advocate” and argue the opposing side’s position. I especially liked prepping witnesses for trial and playing the opposing counsel. There were emotional cases, such as child abuse, child pornography, sexual assault, etc. that when working for the defense it was very difficult to remain objective and assist in defending the case. However, as a legal professional, I felt it was my responsibility to assist in providing the best defense possible for the client. In these type of cases, I have to set aside my personal feelings and concentrate on the laws and case precedence which will enable me to provide the best possible legal representation to a client. I cannot picture a scenario in which I would choose to work for the defense in criminal cases. I am confident I could do it on a professional level, but I do not believe I would be able to handle defending someone who I strongly suspected or knew was guilty of a crime, on a personal level. In preparing for a case, it is imperative that you are able to see the opposing side’s argument and accept that some of their positions are valid, either morally, legally or both. By being able to recognize the strengths of the opposing side, you will be able to better prepare to represent and defend your client’s interests. One of the ways I prepare to play the opposing side is to list the strengths and weaknesses of my own case. I use the knowledge of my own position, to develop a list of the strengths and weaknesses of the opposition. This, in turn, allows me research and develop defenses against their strengths and identify issues in my own position that I need to concentrate on. I think it is very important to be able to view both sides of an argument in anything I do in life. From negotiating a contract, supporting a candidate in politics, or representing a client, blind obedience to one point of view, without considering the opposing point of view, limits my ability to make educated decisions and weakens my ability to intelligently defend my position. According to the University of Kansas’ Community Tool Box, How to Respond to Opposition Tactics: If knowledge is power, ignorance is weakness. An opponent you understand is much weaker than an opponent whose every move baffles you. Understand your foe’s beliefs, background, and position. This will put you in a stronger position to respond to attacks. It can also increase your organization’s image as an intelligent, rational group.[1] I find that the key thing for me when developing an opposing view to my own, is to set aside my personal convictions and try to see the issue through my opponent’s eyes.

One of the most controversial distribution channel strategies is multi-level marketing. In this method, anyone can become an independent distributor for the product if they pay a membership fee. Distributors earn commission both from selling the product and from recruiting new distributors. In general, distributors recruited into a multi-level marketing network are not trained marketing professional. Instead multi-level marketing companies typically try recruit average individuals with low or moderate incomes who wish to earn some extra money. In turn, these individuals are then encouraged to recruit friends, family members, and coworkers into the network. Well known multi-level marketers include Amway and Herbalife.

Many of you have likely had direct experience with multi-level marketing. Have any of you been a part of a multi-level network? Or has a friend or family member tried to recruit you into one? Or have you purchased a product from one of these types of companies? Explain what kind of experience you might have had, and your overall impression of multi-level marketing.

But don’t just post about any interesting or entertaining stories you’ve had regarding multi-level marketing. As with all of the discussions, relate your experiences to concepts from the background readings. Why do you think this company chose multi-level distribution over other forms of distribution that you have read about? What advantages does multi-level distribution have for this company.

If you haven’t had any direct experience with multi-level marketing, do some research and find a new company that uses this strategy. Does this company seem credible, or does it look sketchy?
