@mattie_dukes17 provide for more accessibility to communication, but in doing so, it removes an element of humanity and removes a sense of community. Nothing will beat FtF communication but I think communicative technology is a necessary thing that we will encounter more of in the future. (pt2)
@mattie_dukes17 I picked "communicate better, collaborate more." We are definitely seeing this first-hand as students using Zoom to hold class during a pandemic. In that same respect, we all have seen the ups and downsides of Zoom. Using that as an example, I'll say that technology does (pt1)
@littleWanic put out of their jobs due to technological advancement. I think this idea is a double-edged sword, though. It's bad for the job market but good for progression, efficiency, and growth within organizations. I also can see this removing humanistic elements from the workplace. (pt2)
@littleWanic All I can think about when I read about this phenomenon is that one scene in Charlie & the Chocolate Factory when Charlie's dad loses his job capping toothpaste to a robot. That being said, there is definitely a sad element to this thought given that I see many people being (pt1)
@OrgCommChat I think two of my strengths as a leader are thinking critically and being flexible to new ideas. One thing I want to learn about is being self-aware in the workplace. I think it's easy to get caught up in chaos and we forget about being self-aware of our actions.
@ally_rabbitt I think Oprah is a great example of a leader, not only does she have a strong brand, but she presents herself as an honest, genuine, and transparent person. Those are definitely things that I value in leaders and think that she does a great job of exemplifying those traits.
@GraceGraubart After looking at the list, I think I would like to work for Sage. They talk about how their team has clear communication and alignment of goals. I think those two things are extremely important to accomplish anything and super valuable characteristics within leaders.
@OrgCommChat I think a key part of my personal brand is being perseverant. I tend to take on a lot of challenges that often scare me, but I know there will be a reward on the other side. That's why I feel that perseverance is needed in those instances.
@TroyKong2 Zara. They are sketchy about being transparent with their labor sources but it is pretty apparent when you do some digging that they use child labor. (pt 2)
@TroyKong2 I think being transparent with ethics is super important in modern org culture. It is not only enough to be a profitable company but to do well, you have to hold the charge of social responsibility. I think a company that could adopt an initiative like Patagonia could be (pt 1)
@dalzell_piper I think being from Alabama, that a lot of the "see children but don't hear them" mentality is still present. It definitely led to a lot of adults not taking me seriously because of my age. I encountered this a lot with my high school teachers.
@OrgCommChat the film industry holds in terms of championing men over women. Recently, at the Golden Globes, we saw more representation of female directors. I hope that this will be what the future will look like and not a PR move -- seeing as there are not many prominent women to look up to.
@OrgCommChat I want to work in film and production. The percentage of women in that industry is 45.2%; men are at 54.8%. This surprises me because in an industry that publically favors the male counterpart, the percentages appear to be balanced. I think this is indicative of the bias that(p1)
@littleWanic@OrgCommChat Thanks for your thoughts Cory! You point out key elements in which homosocial reproduction is perpetuated. It definitely is challenging for women to even recognize the glass slipper or elevator when put in these compromising positions by people of power.
In this interview, actress/producer/director Olivia Wilde talks about the challenges of upward and lateral mobility due to being a woman in the film industry. As she talks about women being made to think they are replaceable, how does this type of environment (1/2) #COMM11A
@OrgCommChat Thank you for your thoughts! I completely agree that avoiding homosocial reproduction is contingent upon evolving the environments in which it exists. I think Wilde is a prime example of what the future for women in film should look like. She is shattering her own glass elevator
perpetuate concepts like the glass slipper? Does this environment equally contribute to homosocial reproduction? Explain your thoughts around these questions and feel free to add any other concepts we talked about this week that you saw in this interview. (2/2)
@OrgCommChat Choosing my favorite movie is hard, but I'd have to say that my go-to, soothing my soul movie would be Pride & Prejudice with Kiera Knightly. It's such a timeless love story that's so aesthetically pleasing to me. I fall asleep to it on a regular basis.
@em_coronaa labor is heavily dependent on the context of the situation. And in this case, it is asking too much of their employees to suppress negative emotions, especially in the face of physical attacks. I applaud their safety measures aimed at protecting their employees in this same (pt3)
