Debate-Antitrust

Debate this: Antitrust
The European Union Issues Record Fine against Google in Antitrust Case
“Just google it.” Google’s search engine is so dominant that the company name has become a verb synonymous with conducting an Internet search. According to the European Commissioner for Competition, Margrethe Vestager, Google has become too dominant, at least with respect to comparison shopping and product searches. For that reason, the European Union (EU) spent seven years investigating Google’s trade practices. The investigation culminated in 2017 with with a record fine of $2.7 billion and a ruling that Google had breached EU antitrust regulations by abusing its dominant position in the search engine market.

Google Put Its Shopping Results above Other Search Results
The EU claimed that for nearly ten years, Google had promoted its own comparison shopping service at the expense of competitors. It did this by “positioning and prominently displaying its comparison shopping service in its general search result pages, irrespective of its merits.” As a result, “users [did] not necessarily see the most relevant results in response to queries—to the detriment of consumers and rival comparison shopping services.”
Google has contended that it cannot change its core software and that the results in its search algorithms are based on relevance. In addition, Google has argued that it has actually boosted traffic to its Web competitors. Indeed, search engines have proliferated on the Web, suggesting that Google’s success has not eliminated competition.
Nevertheless, the EU’s decision ordered Google to change the way it displays search results in the EU—or face more fines. When Google shows comparison-shopping services in response to a user’s query, the search results should show the most relevant services first.
Google has appealed the EU’s order. Experts predict that the dispute could continue for years.

The Compartmentalization of a Search on the Web
More and more frequently, Internet users do not engage in general searches. Instead, they know exactly where to go to obtain product information. When they want information on movies, for instance, they go to the Internet Movie Data Base (IMDB) rather than to Google. When they want information on music, they go to iTunes. When they want to search for the cheapest airfares, they go to Kayak or similar sites. When they want to find the best rates on hotels, they go to sites such as hotels.com (Links to an external site.), tripadvisor.com, and trivago.com. And when they are interested in buying a product, they frequently go to Amazon or eBay. Amazon, in particular, has fine-tuned its ability to generate advertising revenues through its Amazon-sponsored links.
And, of course, social media must be considered. More people are on social media sites than ever before, particularly on their mobile devices. Users spend four times more time on Facebook than they do on Google. These users often “crowdsource”—that is, look for answers from Facebook friends rather than search on Google. Facebook is also becoming increasingly competitive with Google in the services it offers, including mobile payments and the Facebook Messenger instant-messaging service.

Critical Thinking: Please this part put it at the end with the subtitle “CRITICAL THINKING”
How does the increasing popularity of specialized search engines weaken the EU’s argument that Google has harmed consumers?

Final Draft Research Report and Reflection

For the unit 2 final project, you’ll report on the research
you conducted and you’ll reflect on the decisions you made as a
researcher/rhetor. These are the goals for the research report:

Focus your inquiry: Did you focus your inquiry by
identifying a specific issue (limit the scope of the project)?
Curate: Did you select a set of high-quality sources that
directly address your central research question?
Apply: Did you use your research to formulate an answer or
response to the central research question?
Analyze: Did you identify major stakeholders and describe
your own “position” in relation to the issue?

FORMAT/LENGTH

Your research report should be at least 1500 words in
length. This is the minimum length to earn full credit.

Use good document design principles and include a list of
sources cited at the end. Instead of using a standard citation style like MLA,
APA, etc., simply use the title of the text as a link to the source, along with
the place of publication and date of publication, if applicable.

1. Start by taking a look at the sample research reports,
and keep in mind that these samples are examples – not exemplars. I chose them
not because they’re ideal, but because taken together they represent a range of
approaches to this assignment. These three research reports are very different,
but they are all meeting the goals of the assignment.
2. Compose a paragraphs that begin to answer or address
your research question(s) and be sure to include sources (links to sources
using the title of the text).

Mental & Emotional Health Support

Part of being a good health educator or health services administrator is having a variety of mental and emotional support tools in your “tool box” so that you can help program participants manage the daily ups and downs of life. During the semester you will be required to try for yourself, three different mental and emotional support tools. There will be many examples of support tools you can try out, and it is your choice to choose three of them to explore and write about. These write ups will include reactions to the tool, positive benefits experienced, and potential barriers to accessing and implementing these tools for community member use.

MARKETING MIX

The Marketing Mix consists of product, price, promotion and place/distribution strategies. Give a description of the marketing mix for your company. What products/services are offered? What pricing approaches are used? How do they promote to customers (e.g., advertising, personal selling, sales promotion, etc.)? How do they distribute to customers (or locate their business)? Approximately 1 paragraph for each of the P’s. (Note: For Discussion Board topics relating to “your company,” if you do not have a current company you work for, you can use a past one or one you want to work for in the future. If you own your own small business, that will work, too. Yo) Discussion assignments should be about half a page to a page in length. One short paragraph usually isn’t enough, and over a page is getting a little too long.
