22A - Elevator Pitch No. 3

Elevator Pitch No.3

I plan to create an organization whose job is to support and finance anti-gun violence activists. The people involved in these organizations are fighting for change in the second amendment. Gun laws are needed to protect the citizens of the US. These laws will enforce stricter background checks and take assault rifles off the market, and out of people’s homes. If enough groups protesting gun violence rally together, they can overpower the NRA. All of the feedback that I received was positive, so I only made few changes to my elevator pitch. 

21A - Reading Reflection No.2

The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users, Guy Kawasaki 

1) What was the general theme or argument of the book?
The General theme of this book is that social media is used by everyone in todays society and it is so important to our lives and should be used in every business. 
 2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003?
This book connects with what I have learned in ENT 3003 in the way that I have more knowledge about how and why social media needs to be used in businesses. This book also discussed the importance of creating posts and deciding on what to post. 
3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve?
I would design an exercise where the students had to create a blog post about why they think social media is important and why they think it should be incorporated in businesses. I would also have them say what they normally post on their social media and why they chose to post it. 
4) What was your biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? In other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations?
 I learned a lot from reading this book. I learned how to chose the perfect thing to post and that it is important to add a photo to your posts to make it more appealing to the viewers.

17 A - Elevator Pitch No.2

Today, there are currently 109 people dying a day in this country because of gun violence. With these numbers rising each year, there needs to be something done.  I plan to create an organization whose job is to support and finance anti-gun violence activists. The people involved in these organizations are fighting for change in the second amendment. Gun laws are needed to protect the citizens of the US. These laws will enforce stricter background checks and take assault rifles off the market, and out of people’s homes. If enough groups protesting gun violence rally together, they can overpower the NRA.

18A - Create a Customer Avatar

This is my ideal customer, she is 22 years old and she is a senior in college. College has taught her many things and helped her create friendships that will last forever. She is involved in greek life and she started her own gun violence protest club at her school. Euphoria is her favorite show, she appreciates the passion each character has. She does not have children but hopes for children in the future, which is one of her motivations for fighting for gun safety. Her favorite book is Harry Potter, because who doesn't love Harry Potter? Joe Biden's stance on gun violence in the upcoming election is one she thinks could be strong. He is trying to win over both Democrats and Republicans views by enacting a compromise gun laws opinion that still protects citizens. She is passionate about her group she wants help form, protesting for laws to protect citizens! We have very similar interests and views.
