This project will implement a multi-agency, public-private effort to create safe visitor access, rehabilitate existing resource damage, and reconstruct trails in a premier, heavily-used, rock climbing and hiking area located within a quarter-mile of the Harpers Ferry (State Highway 340). Located within close proximity to the byway, nationally designated for its scenic qualities, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy provides byway travelers ready access to recreational opportunities to take in the scenic beauty of the area by providing access to a variety of climbing and easy hiking opportunities to view amazing rock formations and beautiful scenery. To enhance the byway traveler experience, this project will improve vehicle-pedestrian highway safety; provide for hiker and rock climber safety and education; provide for natural resource protection/rehabilitation/education; and provide a unique ‘get out of the car and walk' byway experience. This includes the provision of an off-highway, family-safe, parking facility from the byway that serves as a trailhead to the climbing and hiking area, and the development and dissemination of consistent resource protection and education messages from all partners across agency boundaries. This project benefits the byway traveler by providing safe, stable, hiking trail opportunities free of visible natural resource damage that wind between towering rock formations and large diameter ponderosa pine trees, provides opportunities to view or climb alongside rock climbers practicing their sport, catch a glimpse of local wildlife, and foster appreciation for and stewardship of the byway's resources.

The contribution of Stanley Milgram has been significant in the field of social psychology. Milgram conducted experiments of human behavior in a laboratory setting and concluded that obedience to authority usually disregards moral or legal normative standards. An individual's behavior is thus shaped by the environment, people around, and his figure of authority. "Because humans are social animals, human behavior is strongly influenced by behavior of other humans; this influence is often very direct"(Aarts & Dijksterhuis, 2003; Pg. 18). The current paper investigates as to what extent the human behavior is influenced by others. The paper adopts an investigative approach and cites peer reviewed articles to substantiate the discussion. Social identity theory is also an important theoretical explanation that explains how and why an individual voluntarily gets influenced from socially constructed relationships.

The purpose of this essay was to address the potential risks exposed to organizations by the social media use. While attempting this essay, I analyze that social media use can provide advantages to an organization, but its advantages can also be turned into risks if an appropriate social-networking policy in compliance to the law, is not maintained within the organization. With this essay, I planned to accomplish that organizations must realize the importance of a social-networking policy. I hope that the reader understands that an effective social-networking policy can derive positive benefits from the social media use. By completing this assignment, I learned that everything in this world does have some positive and negative aspects, like, the risks and benefits of social media use. Yes, I experienced a new understanding about the social media use. Before completing the research, I used to consider that social media use must be promoted within the organizations as it only provides benefits to the organizations, but after completing my research, I analyzed that an organization can also be exposed to numerous risks if it lacks an appropriate social-networking policy. During the research, I encountered difficulties in finding the appropriate relevant data as most of the scholars only revealed the positive aspects of social media use, only few of them addressed the negative effects. I enjoyed a lot of things about this assignment, like, exposure to various different social networking sites, besides, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, like, Glassdoor.com, which is a job seeker and an employee feedback forum site. The reason I selected this topic was that it was of the critical and current issue faced by the organizations today and also I faced numerous issues within this aspect in my workplace. I would like you to know that this essay not only emphasize the negative effects of social media use regardless of its positive effects, it do encourages the benefits provided by the social media use, but only if there is an effective social-networking policy maintained within the organization.
