Graduation speaker should be a business leader
I think the university should invite a business leader to speak at this year’s graduation ceremony – perhaps an executive from one of the large corporations in the area. For students, business leaders are excellent role models because they represent the meaning of professional success. They influence people every day, make important decisions, and have achieved impressive salaries. Furthermore, inviting a business executive will help reinforce to the community that our business program is the biggest and best one in the state. Prospective students will read about the speech and will remember that our university has a strong and attractive business program.
Sincerely,
Ryan Brown
Task3:
Explain the concept of impression management, using the examples provided by the professor.
Impression Management
According to some sociologists, as we go about our lives, we try to control or manage the impression that we make on others in social situations. When we do this, we are practicing what sociologists call impression management. Even in everyday, ordinary interactions, we make special preparations – sometimes unconsciously – to convey certain Information about ourselves that influences how others perceive us. These preparations often involve our personal appearance – how we look during the social interaction – as well as the social setting, which is the place where the social interaction occurs.
Task4:
