criminal justice system 300 WORDS

/in /by

Government, including the criminal justice system, is supposed to be answerable to the people. However, there are times when the “law” and the “will of the people” may conflict. This may be due to evolving social preferences that lawmakers have not yet caught up to, or it might also be due to different communities having different standards. Resolving the conflict between “doing what the law requires” and “serving the will of the people” is often not a black-and-white decision.

This week’s discussion will examine this conflict from several angles.

Should the police have the ability to selectively enforce only those laws that the public wants to have enforced? In other words, should the police ignore offenses when the law in question is not a popular one?

Should the police or prosecutor have the power to decide against charging a particular offender if it is clear that the local population does not want that person to be prosecuted? Provide a real or imaginary example that would illustrate this dilemma and justify your choice.

Should the police enforce laws differently from one community to the next, if those communities express differing standards? If you agree that the community should have influence or even oversight over the local police, how can this be achieved?  research about police agencies that utilize a community policing strategy.

These dilemmas can affect all levels of law enforcement, but sheriffs in particular have to wrestle with it. Analyze why sheriffs should be more concerned with the “will of the people” when that will seems to be in conflict with the letter of the law.

Ethical IT Design

/in /by

You have just completed 10 weeks of a course on information technology ethics. Imagine you have been asked to create a one-day training course titled “Ethical IT Design and Development.” The course will highlight the important elements of what you have just learned in the past 10 weeks.

  • Create a hierarchy of five of the most important and relevant topics you feel need to be addressed in the one-day course.
  • Provide a detailed rationale for each of the five topics.

REPLY TO GRISMELDY 

Hello professor and class,

1. what are ethical policies, Procedure, and guidelines within an IT organization; Ethical Policies; are a set of guidelines for all employees to do what is right and behave at a specific standard; it also encourages moral conducts defining the culture of a company. Furthermore Standards policies; require a set of rules, these are the rules that govern a company, moreover Procedure; provides the how, providing step-by-step instruction for a specific routine task, sometimes there is a checklist or a series of steps for the employee to follow and lastly guidelines; can be a general, often non-mandatory recommendation, and they can provide better ideas on how to proceed with a specific situation. Understanding the difference can help a company have a strong culture.

2. protecting an organization’s proprietary data, trade secrets, and customer data; companies may require a confidential agreement; also, some of the security controls would be to Identify and prioritize personal information, determine appropriate access, and provide access to employees who need this information to perform their job. Finally, the company can complete the risk assessment. Many businesses are using cloud services to share data with other organizations and safeguard confidential information.

3. protecting identifiable information (PII); some consumer protection laws safeguard identifiable information, such as Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), requires the consent of the patient to disclose someone’s medical information being that someone’s medical record is personally identifiable information, Electronic communication act protects communication such as email, telephone conversation, and data store electronically in someone’s computer. Someone carries inside their device personally identifiable information, and Children’s online privacy protection requires websites not to collect or share personal information for a child under 13 years old.

4. what is artificial intelligence (EI); artificial intelligence (AI) is here to help us, not replace us; AI will eliminate specific job categories that are simple—creating other job categories that will enable a person to use their full potential and helps the overall economy.

5. social engineering and social media; social engineering is a method use to exploit human errors to obtain private  information, access or valuables in other words these group of people can be call human hackers they tend to lead other to believe that they are someone that they are not in order to have the other party expose data, on the other hand social media is just a platform of communication where people can have a sense of community and also keep up with what others are doing, it is important for a company to set guidelines regarding the use of social media for work also provide the employee the necessary trainings to identify social engineer.

OTHER 5 TOPICS .

Management Information Systems (MIS) is a formal discipline within business education that bridges the gap between computer science and well-known business disciplines such as finance, marketing, and management. In spite of this, most students will only take one or two MIS courses as part of their undergraduate program.

2.MIS basics- Hardware, Software, and securities mentioned in the course introduction, much of MIS is now centered on technology. Accordingly, MIS capabilities are mostly limited to the hardware and software capabilities of a given system. Ten years ago, the average Internet user could download an MP3 music file in a few minutes over a cable. This can now be done in seconds wirelessly from just about anywhere in the developed world thanks to improvements in hardware and software.

3- Information System and Organization Strategy

Strategic MIS is the application of information management in the overall strategy of a business. Many corporations include a Chief Information Officer (CIO) in executive management to implement information systems to be more competitive. What good would it do for Apple to create an iPhone application that can tell where you are and serve you ads based on location? 

4- Information System Development

Businesses have diverse needs. While software packages for managing information exist, most software is not “plug and play” ready for most business applications. IT departments, in conjunction with representatives from all lines of business, must work together to develop and implement information system solutions. 

5- Information System in Society and the world

Information systems’ reach extends well beyond the world of business. Today it is nearly as easy to communicate with someone on the other side of the world as it is to talk to someone next door. New technologies create situations that society has never dealt with before. How do we handle the new capabilities that these technologies enable? Will societies need new laws, new social mores, to protect us from ourselves regarding technology?

Cookie Creations Case Study

/in /by

 

Instructions
Cookie Creations (Chapters 9 and 10)

This assignment will focus on the Cookie Creations case study from Chapter 9 (page 9-37) and Chapter 10 (page 10-42) of your textbook. There are two parts to this assignment. Review the case situations for each part (i.e., in each chapter), and then complete the instructions. 

Part I

One of Natalie’s friends, Curtis Lesperance, runs a coffee shop where he sells specialty coffees and prepares and sells muffins and cookies. He is eager to buy one of Natalie’s fine European mixers, which would enable him to make larger batches of muffins and cookies. However, Curtis cannot afford to pay  for   the mixer for at least 30 days. He asks Natalie if she would be willing to sell him the mixer on credit.

Natalie comes to you for advice. She asks you to address the questions below.

  1. Curtis has given me a set of his most recent financial statements. What calculations should I do with the data from these statements, and what questions should I ask him after I have analyzed the    statements? How will this information help me decide if I should extend credit to Curtis?
  2. Is there an alternative other than extending credit to Curtis for 30 days?
  3. I am thinking seriously about being able to have my customers use credit cards. What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of letting my customers pay by credit card?

The following transactions occurred in June through August 2020.

June 1: After much thought, Natalie sells a mixer to Curtis on credit, terms n/30, for $1,150 (cost of mixer $620).

June 30:  Curtis calls Natalie. He is unable to pay the amount outstanding for another month, so he signs a 1-month, 8.35% note receivable.

July 31: Curtis calls Natalie. He indicates that he is unable to pay today but hopes to have a check for her at the end of the week. Natalie prepares the journal entry to record the dishonor of the note. She assumes she will be paid within a week.

Aug. 7: Natalie receives a check from Curtis in payment of his balance owed.

Instructions:

  • Answer Natalie’s questions in a Word document.
  • Prepare journal entries for the transactions that occurred in June, July, and August in an Excel spreadsheet. Round to the nearest dollar. Note that the company uses a perpetual inventory system. Use the Part I Excel Template to record your transactions.

To reiterate, you will write your responses to Natalie’s questions (1–3) in a Word document, and you will complete the journal transactions in an Excel spreadsheet. Your responses to Part I (Natalie’s questions) should be a minimum of one page in length, and you will add your responses for Part II to this      document before submitting. 

Part II

Natalie is also thinking of buying a van that will be used only for business. The cost of the van is estimated at $36,500. Natalie would spend an additional $2,500 to have the van painted. In addition, she wants the back seat of the van removed so that she will have a lot of room to transport her mixer inventory    as   well as her baking supplies. The cost of taking out the back seat and     installing  shelving units is estimated at $1,500. She expects the van to last  5  years, and  she expects to drive it for 200,000 miles. The annual cost of vehicle insurance  will be $2,400. Natalie estimates that at the end of the     5-year useful life, the  van will sell for $7,500. Assume that she will buy the    van on August 15, 2020,  and it will be ready for use on September 1,    2020.

Natalie is concerned about the impact of the van’s cost on her income statement and balance sheet. She has come to you for advice on calculating the van’s depreciation.

Instructions:

  1. Determine the cost of the van.
  2. Prepare three depreciation tables for 2020, 2021, and 2022: one for straight-line depreciation (similar to the one in Illustration 10-9), one    for double-declining balance depreciation (Illustration 10-13), and    one   for  units-of-activity depreciation (Illustration 10-11). Use the    Part   II Excel Template to   determine depreciation. For units-of-activity, Natalie estimates that she will   drive the van as        follows:     15,000 miles in 2020; 45,000 miles in 2021; and   50,000 miles    in     2022.   Recall   that Cookie Creations has a December 31       year-end.
  3. What impact will the three methods of depreciation have on Natalie’s  balance sheet at December 31, 2020? What impact will the three methods  have   on Natalie’s income statement in 2020?
  4. What impact will the three methods of depreciation have on Natalie’s income statement over the van’s total 5-year useful life?
  5. What method of depreciation would you recommend Natalie use, and why?

Use the same Word document that you used to record your Part I responses (one   page in length), and add your responses for the Part II questions (1–5), which    should be one page in length. 

In summary, you will submit one Word document containing your responses for     Parts I and II (two-page minimum) and two Excel spreadsheets containing      Natalie’s journal transactions from Part I and the depreciation tables from     Part  II. You will upload a total of three files to Blackboard (one Word     document and  two Excel spreadsheets).

There are no resources required for this assignment; however, your Word document should be formatted using APA Style. 

Your research paper for this class will be based on a historical figure of your choice.

/in /by

  

Your research paper for this class will be based on a historical figure of your choice. You may pick any person who falls within the scope of the course-that means it must be a figure from the Western world (Europe or the Middle East) who lived between the beginning of recorded history and the mid-18th century. This gives you a wide variety of people to pick from, so pick someone who interests you. (Hint: later people are easier to find sources for)

The purpose of this assignment is not only for you to learn about a historical figure and time period in a more in-depth fashion than we will be able to do in class, but also for you to improve your writing skills, research skills, and ability to analyze information and create an argument. 

While this paper is based on a person, it should NOT be solely the story of their life from birth to death, but should make an argument that focuses on the historical events that affected their lives, and the events that they affected. 

The purpose of a research paper is to do research on a topic in order to gather evidence which you will use to support the argument that you are making. Think about this like you would a science experiment. Your argument, or thesis, is yours, but you need evidence to convince the reader that your argument is true, and that evidence comes from your sources.

due today in 10 hours…… please read first…… philosophy

this assignment is due in 10 hours…… must be done in 10 hours……. no late work 

Based on USA Philosophy 

The attachment (FALD master list)  has the instructions and you must follow them completely

There is a list of 45 

each answer will look like #4 in the attachment which is like this: 

  Appeal to common practice 

What it is: This is an attempt to justify an action or a practice (rather than a claim) by claiming that the action or practice is common. Caution: This may be a roundabout way of requesting “fair play,” in which case the person has bypassed the issue of what constitutes “fairness” (since that’s difficult to answer!) and has certainly in some instances circumvented the law or an established policy. The point is that even if it is true that lots of people do something, this fact by itself is not a sufficient reason to engage in their practice. Nazism and racism are obvious examples of things lots of people do, or have, engaged in, but that doesn’t justify the behavior. Example: “Everybody comes in late once in a while, so I’m not going to worry when I walk into class fifteen minutes late today.” 

_________________________________________________________________________

The attachment has these instructions that you must follow and must edit the attachment 

 Assignment Details (Repeated on MS Word Document)

Our treatment of all of these – and the many more that you can find on the Internet! – will be selective, but this constitutes our required list.  So, this is the Big List, and your ASSIGNMENT is to:

  1. State what each FALD is (e.g., answer the question, “What is a circumstantial ad hominem fallacy?”);
  2. Give a clear example of each;
  3. Add a clear explanation of how the FALD gets used, making sure that your explanation is clear enough so that it separates the particular FALD you are writing about from all other FALDS that may otherwise resemble it;
  4. Refrain from using any of my words or examples that you may come across in subsequent “exam preparation” and “classroom presentation” copies of this list, and remove any of my own included examples once you have used them to help you understand what we are doing;
  5. You are free to use other people’s examples (although I prefer fresh examples), but when you do so, you must include a citation, preferably embedded within the text as opposed to printing the entire URL.
  6. Change the header information so that it accurately reflects that it is your work.

  A paradigm is a way of looking at the world around you. The word paradigm comes up a lot in the academic, scientific, and business worlds. A new paradigm in business could mean a new way of reaching customers and making money.  When you change paradigms, you are changing how you think about the topic Our paradigms are formed from what we have been taught by our families, experienced in our lives, or learned through our education.  This assignment helps you examine the relationships of these items and their relationship to knowledge creation. 

  1. Review the assigned readings and respond to the following:
    1. Define and discuss the relationship of background assumptions, beliefs, and paradigms.
    2. What do these three things have to do with knowledge creation?
    3. How do they help and hinder knowledge creation?
    4. Can you provide any examples in which any of the three models identified by Arbnor and Bjerke lead to “troublesome findings” and/or “questionable theories?”
  2. In your response, also discuss the difference between conceptual knowledge and theoretical knowledge.
  3. Do not feel limited by these reading assignments in your discussion; please introduce any other sources that may shed light on this discussion.

Selecting the Right Professional Case Study [WLO: 3] [CLOs: 1, 2, 4, 5]

/in /by

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 1 of your course text and explore the Subject Categories (Links to an external site.) web page.

Mental health professionals are a diverse group and range greatly in their scope and depth of practice. In terms of doctorly prepared practitioners you will often find yourself working with psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, and neuropsychologists. Using websites such as Study.com (Links to an external site.), explore these careers and what roles these professionals play. Then consider the three cases below and imagine you are the case worker for each instance. Your job is to refer the patient to one (and only one) of the professionals (i.e., psychologist, psychiatrist, neurologist, or neuropsychologist) who is the best choice to evaluate and manage the case.

  • Case 1 (Gary). Gary is a 23-year-old male who just last year enrolled in community college and who came to the attention of his professors when his grades started to drop. When asked what was going on he stated that there were people watching him all the time making it hard for him to sleep and therefore to study.
  • Case 2 (Connie). Connie is a 40-year-old mother of three and has been employed at a local warehouse for the last many years. She is well liked and gets great job performance reviews. Recently she has shown instances of being late, her work has declined, and she has been seen crying when off alone. She states she is upset over her children leaving for college and her husband not giving her much attention.
  • Case 3 (James). James is a 30-year-old semipro ball player. He was, until recently, moving up in his career and was getting a lot of attention from scouts. However, just in the last few weeks his pitching started to suffer, he became irritable over nearly everything, and was just found slumped over the steering wheel of his car that had rolled into another parking space. He was uninjured but seemed very confused.

In your initial post,

  • Determine which one (and only one) of the professionals (i.e., psychologist, psychiatrist, neurologist, or neuropsychologist) is the best choice to evaluate and manage each case.
    • Who do you pick?
    • Why?
    • Why not one of the other practitioners?
