...we ethically or unethically choose to use the technology that continues to develop before our eyes. Privacy Privacy as it pertains to information technology is very relevant and important in today’s society. With inventions like “The Cloud”, Email, and online banking it is very easy for people to have their privacy violated. I have had an old Facebook account get hacked into and various emails were sent out to people on my friend’s list. Whoever hacked into my account obviously had access to my private messages, they could see my entire friends list, and even make posts and send messages as if they were me. This was a clear violation of my privacy. As social media sites and other web based functions are used by young adults and children, their online protection has come into question. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act is an example of particular steps being taken to protect the privacy of children online. Accessibility Who can gain access to our information online is another growing concern. How do we determine where to draw the line between allowing access to our personal information for greater security and keeping private things we feel no one but ourselves should be able to access?

[10] In this article, the author writes explaining the relationship of work, learning and leisure in relation to the development of children. The author challenges the normative way of thinking that work negatively affect the development of the child. In his literature, he argues against the common romantic notions of childhood, he asserts that, romantic notions of childhood emerged by literature and poetry, rather than by evidence on child development in different contexts hence some of the notions are irrelevant in some settings. In the article, he presents evidence that besides leisure and learning, work can be beneficial to many children and he highlights that a childhood without work is not necessarily a beneficial ideal. He also presents facts that in practice children may successfully combine work, learning and leisure despite the common belief that work often interferes with children’s education. He posits that learning can be achieved through play or leisure thus leisure and learning correlating...

... I feel that its important for inventors or just every day people to protect what they make, people happen to be very shifty in this society, everyone is out to gain a dollar, but some people happen to be so ruthless that they will steal at all costs, and may even try to destroy the original proprietor from making any gain at all. The right of the property is based on the rights of the owner and happen to be granted in various markets. Intellectual property is a valid way to protect inventors, musicians, painters so that they can share their work with the world. I feel that people make they deserve to absolute protection over their achievements. The common types of copyrights that happen to be protected happen under intellectual property, happen to be trade marks, patents, industrial design rights and trade secrets. The ideas that happen to be valid is that protection of intellectual property is important, that any one who invents something needs to patent it correctly, and that is why intellectual property is protected in America, by the American invents act. This is good for corporations because people cannot copy the iphone etc and have all the same features, because apple put a patent on it. The Benefits of the intellectual property is that people gain a financial incentive from their creation.

...Critically evaluate the relationship between applying the law and social work values in a child protection case study in Northern Ireland case study. Social work is a value-based profession, and one of the core capabilities, at all career levels, is recognising, and where appropriate addressing, personal and professional values and prejudices. It is not uncommon, for the law to be seen as a critical component in developing provision and strengthening professional practice. According to the College of Social Work, in social work professional practice we work with some of the most disadvantaged and marginalised individuals, families and communities, often at the most difficult points in their lives. When parents do need help, they still want to be in control and indeed in the vast majority of families they should be it is important that a balance between intervention and assistance is maintained. (2009 NIRFPS) Since the late 1980’s there has been an increasing awareness of the impact of oppression and discrimination on clients and communities (Thompson, 2001).

Human Rights Act 1998 The Human Right Act was made to defend your rights in the UK courts and to ensure that the public organisations (government, police and local council) treat everyone with fairness, equally, respect and dignity. Even though the Act started up in 1998 but it came into the UK in October 2000. The aim of the Act is to protect every resident within England or Wales regardless of whether or not they are part of the British citizen or foreign national. Additionally, to ensure there is further effect within the UK law to the rights to hold inside in the conversion for the safeguard of human rights and fundamental freedom. With this Act in place it allows users of a health and social care profession to not get discriminated upon and for everyone to have the opportunity to be able to use services. Furthermore, it allows everyone to be able to use A&E which is an Accident and Emergency service for free regardless of who they are.

The government is important because the purpose of our government is to make laws for the society, provide for their citizens with public services, take charge of the economy and protect their freedoms. The government purpose is to organize the whole society by making laws, so we can follow them. Without the government people will do anything they please either harming themselves other people or properties, because there’s no laws or authorities that are there to maintain the order or enforce obedience. Laws can also reduce crime to a lower level and prevent crimes that can happen on a daily basis like robbery, fights, sexual assaults etc. That’s why is very important for the government and their laws to make sure the society be safe. One of the government purposes is to protect our freedoms. One of the most is freedom of speech which is the right to express ourselves about anything. Another is freedom of religion which is the right to practice whatever religions one choose, people religions and beliefs are very important in a person or families life, and they always should stay protected by the government.

...just contain customer data, but each individual’s data and their work needs to be backed up. Also they will need a plan for backing up all human resources filing and information, billing and finance and marketing data. First steps would be for the team to assemble a list of what are some of the hazards and assess the risks of losing this data. Second they would need to conduct an impact analysis plan to see if this will hurt the business. Third examine ways to prevent hazards from happening. With a company such as EPLAN, the team would evaluate all data and where the data is housed. Some servers are currently overseas but most data is stored in the office of Farmington Hills, MI. The server room is not protected by any Fire protection walls. The company data for employees are on their computers and are currently not being backed up onto the server as most of the employees work from home. The only employees that are backed up on the server are out of the Farmington Hills office. This office is where the Finance and human resource departments are located. So all of the electronic documentation is housed on the in house server but there currently they do not have a data warehouse to back up this data. All marketing data is housed on the marketing manager’s computer with no back up. This position works...

...Intervention. The threats that we need to prepare for at Aim High College are the protection against cyber threats from hackers, need for stronger protection from inside the organization through a top-notch IT department, and the dangers that come from data sharing. These threats are more common because opening our networks to the vast information on the web, we are opening our networks to numerous threats. Incoming and outgoing data can make our system available for hacking and cyber theft. Without complete transperancy, there isn’t a way to ensure that the data being shared is safe. Without having an IT Department that is on top of the latest threats, there is no way to protect the network from the threats. They need to be aware of all the possibilities of outside threats that can come from under protected or faulty applications. And of course there is the ever increasing number of cyber criminals looking to exploit companies and individuals for monetary gain. Whether they are using viruses and hacking. Or spam and scams, cybercrime is still on the rise. Only by having up to date security and educated employees can you protect the network. Many of these threats will remain constant as the world continues to rely on mobile devices to access the web. It is very unlikely that there will suddenly be a decline in cybercrime or that all employees using the network to access emails and social media, will only do so safely. I believe that the threat that will become the...
