For this assignment, you are required to write a short paper discussing gaming and its influence on attentional skills.
Your short paper should address the following elements:
a) take a clear position as to whether gaming use has a positive or negative impact on attentional skills and why,
b) if your position was positive what clinical applications can gaming have to enhance attention in individuals who struggle with that cognitive skill? If your position was negative, what can be done to counter this effect?
c) must contain the description of at least one research study that investigates and demonstrates the impact of gaming on attentional skills.
You must use at least 4 credible sources. If needed, visit the Albizu Library Database Index. For the selection of your source, use PsycINFO or PsycARTICLES. Your articles MUST be:
Peer Reviewed ((a) limit your search to “peer-reviewed” and (b) check to see that the journal itself is peer reviewed by looking at their website-it will always be noted)
The articles MUST be of standard length (do not use a brief report or an abstract)
At least one (1) of the articles MUST contain a research study that was conducted (e.g. have Methods and Results sections)
DO NOT use Wikipedia or blogs as sources

You will upload the paper as a Word document or PDF to Blackboard for grading and feedback. Once the submissions are graded, you will be able to review the feedback provided to you in the grading rubric. Your short paper must be 34 pages in length (this does not include the cover page and the reference page). It should be written in 12-point Times New Roman font, with one-inch margins. All sources used must follow APA citation and reference format.
Any thoughts that are not your own MUST be cited in proper APA format. Direct quotes (short and long) MUST be cited and formatted following APA guidelines. Even if you paraphrase information, it MUST be cited. Papers are being evaluated through SafeAssign. Plagiarism will NOT be tolerated. If plagiarism is discovered, it will result in a grade of 0 for the assignment and possible disciplinary action. AUs writing center can assist you if you are unsure.

Effective Versus Toxic Leadership

In Johnson (2019) John Maxwell is noted to have said, He who thinks he leads, but has no followers, is only taking a walk. First, describe key traits of at least 1 person in your life that you would consider an effective leader. In your description, be sure to identify which leadership style these traits most closely align with and if this leadership style aligns with Scripture in any manner. Next, describe key traits of at least 1 person in your life that you would consider a toxic leader. In your response, be sure to specifically identify what destructive behaviors and toxic qualities this person possesses. Discuss what remedy from Scripture you might recommend to this toxic leader.

Business Proposal Assignment

Business Proposal Assignment
You work as a communication specialist at Warby Parker, reporting to co-CEO David Gilboa. Using the skills youve been practicing in this course, respond to this challenge:
Youre helping Gilboa prepare a report about the company. Gilboa characterizes the report as a public business plan, in that it will discuss the company and its objectives, strategies, and operations without disclosing the sort of confidential information that a typical business plan includes. The secondary audience includes potential investors, employees, and business partners.
To help overcome shoppers reluctance to buy eyewear online, Warby Parker has been test marketing the concept called Home Try-On, in which people in the South Florida test market can order five pairs of frames, keep them for five days at no cost, then decide which pair they would like to order, and which they will send back. This gives shoppers lots of time to try on the frames they are considering and get the opinions of family and friends.
On the job (Internal, Unsolicited Proposal)
Write a 2-3 page internal proposal, in memo format, to Mr. Gilboa, with your evaluation of the test market results and your recommendation on how the company should proceed with this concept based on that test. Remember to include headings or sub-headings for each section in the proposal that explain this program-e.g. Background, Solution, Recommendation, etc. Make sure to correctly identify and analyze your audience, as well as any possible secondary audiences. Remember, Mr. Gilboa, the person to whom you submit your proposal, is in a position to order the implementation of the change recommended.
It is important that you develop this memo with your own thoughts and input. You can make the test market experience good or bad, and base your recommendation on that. Make up any information you wish to bolster your case; in the real world, you would have this kind of data and information before you would write this memo.
Here is an example: A rough outline for a favorable recommendation:
Subject: Home Try-On Market Concept Test
Background: As you knowprofits down, store rents rising, we are seen as an old-fashion, undynamic company by the general public. Question: is the internet the answer? Marketing came up with the concept of Home Try-On, and began test marketing it in South Florida in November of last year.
Perceived Risks Prior to Test Market: Concept too confusing for the public? What if customers did not return the 4 pairs of frames they did not want? What sort of breakage might be expected? Would postage and handling be too costly?
Test Market Results: The public seemed to love the concept. Orders very high. 98% return rate on 4 pairs they did not want. Virtually no breakage. Minimal shipping and handling costs, because customers had to agree beforehand to absorb these costs.
Recommendation: Expand test market to the entire East Coast for an additional 4 months. Prepare to go nationwide if results from that test equally encouraging.
