This research is significant as it adds knowledge regarding the impact of social media marketing usage in the SMEs of UAE. There are significant challenges for businesses that are trying to develop their social media marketing plans where greater power is vested in the consumers' hands and increased awareness regarding the societal and cultural norms (Kietzmann et al., 2011). The digital medium helps consumers to instantly communicate their complaints to millions of people around the world (negative word of mouth), which affects the reputation of the business negatively (Javornik et al., 2020). Also, it is important to understand that our targeted SMEs try to adopt social media marketing to meet their advertising needs at a low cost and reach to large audiences; nevertheless, they lack understanding of the impact of the social media marketing usage to achieve better SME's social media presence performance. In this regard, this research will enable those fitness studios and gyms SMEs in the UAE to identify whether digital media usage, social media influencers, eWOM, and viral marketing communications would be able to enhance their performance in terms of improving social media presence and eventually, sales. Moreover, this research will fill the gap in the literature by determining the impact of digital media usage, social media influencers, eWOM, and viral marketing on the SMEs' social media presence performance in the UAE.

The writer has to assume that we will undertake a qualitative research approach, what will the researcher do in the below approaches when it comes to the SME's in the fitness industry , assuming that we will interview either, trainers, or GYM managers or owners:
1. Narrative Design
2. Phenomenological design
3. Grounded theory design
4. Ethnographic study
5. Case study

Examine the quotes from Marx, Nietzsche, Dewey, Mussolini, Huber, Freud, and Fromm. Then, construct an essay in which you discuss the problems of “social disintegration(Dewey 1935, see above) and the serious threat to our democracy (Dewey, 1939 cited in Fromm, see above). Your essay should, at a minimum, consider the basic components of fascist ideology and explain what Fromm views as the fundamental obstacles to human freedom. In your essay, you might also consider if any of this applies to the contemporary social and political landscape and what might be a path forward. Be specific. The quotations are a guideline, not a mandate. Sources must be

Quotes:

“Constant revolutionizing of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life and his relations with his kind.”
Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto (1848)
from Carl Cohen, Communism, Fascism, and Democracy (p. 78)

“God is Dead.” Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra (p. 41)

“The rise of national polities that pretend to represent the order, discipline, and spiritual authority that will counteract social disintegration is a tragic comment upon the unpreparedness of older liberalism to deal with the new problem which its very success precipitated [emphasis added].”
John Dewey, Liberalism and Social Action (1935) (pgs. 53-4)

“The serious threat to our democracy is not the existence of foreign totalitarian states. It is the existence within our own personal attitudes and within our own institutions of conditions which have given a victory to external authority, discipline, uniformity and dependence upon The Leader in foreign countries. The battlefield is also accordingly here — within ourselves and our institutions.”
John Dewey, Freedom and Culture (1939)
Cited in Chapter 1 of Erich Fromm’s Escape From Freedom (1941)

“…Empire calls for discipline, coordination of forces, duty and sacrifice; this explains many aspects of the practical working of the regime and the direction of many of the forces of the State and the necessary severity shown to those who would wish to oppose this spontaneous and destined impulse of the Italy of the twentieth century, to oppose it in the name of the superseded ideologies of the nineteenth, repudiated wherever great experiments of political and social transformation have been courageously attempted: especially where, as now, peoples thirst for authority, for leadership, for order.”
Benito Mussolini, The Doctrine of Fascism (1932)
from Carl Cohen, Communism, Fascism, and Democracy.

“The Fhrer Reich of the [German] people is founded on the recognition that the true will of the people cannot be disclosed through parliamentary votes and plebiscites but that the will of the people in its pure and uncorrupted form can only be expressed through the Fhrer.”
Ernst R. Huber, Constitutional Law of the Greater German Reich (1939)
from Carl Cohen, Communism, Fascism, and Democracy

the essence of a group lies in the libidinal ties existing in it, is also to be found in the phenomenon of panic. A panic arises if a group becomes disintegrated. The mutual ties have ceased to exist, and a gigantic and senseless dread [Angst] is set free [in discussion of a military group].
Sigmund Freud, Two Artificial Groups: the Church and the Army in Group Psychology
and the Analysis of the Ego (originally published in German in 1921)

“…there is no greater mistake and no graver danger than not to see that in our own society we are faced with the same phenomenon that is fertile soil for the rise of Fascism anywhere: the insignificance and powerlessness of the individual.” Erich Fromm, Escape From Freedom (Chapter VII)

Groups and Teams at Work

A 2014 study by Judge and Papata found that all personality traits are more predictive of job performance when the work was performed in an unstructured environment where employees have the freedom to make personal choices. In addition, the study found that the employees’ traits also indicated how they would act in a situation because of those same traits.

You took a test about your own personality traits for the Case Assignment in Module 1. Did you find that the results were what you expected? Most people find that they are generally correct, but they all have a surprise or two. Did you know that if you were to wait an hour and retake the test that your results would be different? This is because as you read your first test results, you rationalize why the findings were correct or incorrect and then you try to change up your answers in an attempt to change your results. If you were to take the test after a much longer period of time after taking it the first time, your results may also be different. This is because your frame of mind when taking a test also impacts the answers you select.

To combat people changing their answers to get a better result, test designers reframe questions in several ways, inserting multiple ways to ask the same question. Some test-takers are bothered by the repetition of questions, most likely because they do not realize it is done intentionally. If they were to list all of the repeat questions, though, they would find that each is written differently from the others.

SLP Assignment
In the Module 1 Case, you were required to take a personality exam, such as the one recommended by PsychCentral because of its similarity to the Myers-Briggs (MBTI). The results may have been very close to what you think are your personality characteristics, although some of them may have been a surprise to you. Keeping those personality characteristics in mind and after reading the descriptions of all of the characteristic categories, think about how these characteristics affect your own work attitudes and job performance.

For this SLP assignment, address the following questions related to topics covered in this Module in a 2- to 3-page paper, not counting the cover and reference list pages. Note that when the assignment calls for a submission of 2-3 pages, this means the professor is hoping for three pages, but is willing to accept two as long as those are two full pages.

What are your personality characteristics? In what ways do they affect your attitudes at work?
How does your work attitude affect your job performance and behaviors?
Then, meet with your manager or a coworker who knows you well, and discuss your findings in your personality test. Discuss how they see you compared to your test results. In the final submission, include a paragraph of at least 75 words covering the highlights of your discussion with that person.

(If you are not currently working, you can select a family member, friend, or someone else who knows you well to complete this part of the assignment.)

Support your responses to the questions in this 2- to 3-page assignment with at least one high-quality reference from the Trident Online Library. High-quality references come from peer-reviewed academic journals and text books. All references must be properly cited and included on the References page.

Remember to spell check your submission. In addition, check for the correct use of basic APA formatting of the document and references, such as the use of Times New Roman size 12 font, double-spaced paragraphs, paragraphs indented inch, margins on all four sides of the paper set at 1 inch, and bolded headings. You can use another formatting style, such as Chicago or MLA, as long as you use it consistently throughout your paper.

This paper is all about you, so it is perfectly fine to respond to any and all of the assignment questions in the first person.

Upload your assignment to the SLP 1 Dropbox. Be sure to review your TurnItIn Originality report. If the score is over 15%, contact your professor. You need to review the report and add any missing citations as noted on the report.

Citation and reference style instructions are available at https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/10/. Also see Trident University’s Student Guide to Writing a High-Quality Academic Paper.
