What type of additional hardware and software should be in use, and how will it protect computers and data?

This week you will find cities that make headlines.  Your work this week is for you to explore the significance of culture, conflict, and sustainability in our most populous places. This week you should think of cities as places that tell the tale of human history, cultural expression or the human struggle.   Find the cities that are experiencing change and help tell their story.  You will use you knowledge about what shapes the history of human experience in cities to illuminate the role of the built environment and public policy in the news. Use what we have learned this semester to help you see a social situation differently.

This semester you have become more attuned to the impact of urban places on human experience.  For this assignment, put your knowledge to work.  Think of news stories in a new light.  Think about the news with a sense of urban development and human experience.

Requirements:

1. Describe the news story.  What is the story about?  Where does it take place?  Who reported it? 

2. Explain how the story relates to human experiences in urban places.  Describe the influence of the built environment and how it makes an impact on human rights and the human experience. 

3. Be as specific and descriptive as possible.  Remember, the influence does not happen in a vacuum.  What are the forces and influences that caused the impact.  Are they social, political, etc?

4. Explain and cite actual lesson materials that helped you recognize and articulate the role of the built environment and its influence on human rights and equality in the news story.

Psychology Discussion

First, for this class and all others in the program, you should only use professional sources.
Doing a “Google” search and citing general websites is not appropriate for graduate-level or professional work. However, most of our clients and their families will use the “Google it” approach. For this assignment (this one only), I am asking you to act like a client or general consumer by checking out internet sources.
For many people with disorders, one of the first lines of “treatment” they voluntarily pursue is to look for internet resources. Do a search on the internet for one of the impulse control disorders.
Review at least 3 of the sources you find. Identify the type of information available, research support, level of professional application (and validity), who the target audience is (professional,family member, individual…), and the general usefulness of the resource. Be sure to provide a reference list for the sources.

IT190 Dis 9

Your company has noticed a substantial decline in productivity over the past months and wants to find out why. The CEO has asked you about network controls and monitoring that they might use within the company. Begin by researching the laws, both nationally and in your state, regarding employers and network monitoring. Next, suggest some devices and/or software the company might employ to help keep employees on task, or in the alternative, to identify when they are not. Finally, explain how you would implement the plan. Would you tell the employees that they are being monitored? Why or why not?
