In addition, the authors provided details to support their position by providing 2013 survey results from 2,400 corporate e-mail users from a global perspective. The results indicated that two-thirds of the respondents stated that e-mail was their favorite form of business communication which surpassed not only social media but also telephone and in-person contact.

Strengths-based nursing (SBN) is an approach to care in which eight core values which guide nursing action, thereby promoting empowerment, hope and self-efficacy. In caring for patients and families, the nurse focuses on their inner and outer strengths-that is, on what patients and families do that best helps them deal with problems and minimize deficits. SBN creating environments and experiences that better enable patients and their families to take control over their lives and health care decisions.
SBN respects a person's self-knowledge and values choice and self-determination, even though there are always limits to the choices available and a person's ability to act in her or his own interest is affected by circumstances, knowledge, and predisposition. it is as important to consider patients' deficits as it is to consider their strengths; both are essential aspects of the whole person. The current health care system is changing into a new system that focuses more on community-based and primary care with the hospitals forming the pillar of the health care system although they are not the primary service (Lind and Smith, 2008). This change has brought about a strength based nursing care which is aimed at developing an individual’s strength to encourage and help in healing. From the perspective of SBN, the nurse's role is to help patients achieve their goals in the healthiest possible way.
SBN sees the nurse's role not as deciding for others but rather as listening attentively and deeply in order to clarify, elaborate, explain, provide information, make suggestions, connect people with resources, and advocate for patients and their families so they may hear their own voices and make their voices heard. Strengths-Based Care (SBC) requires that the nurse use a process to uncover the person’s concerns, get to know the patient and members of the family as individuals, and discover their strengths in order to plan and carry out nursing care.
Nurses require strong nursing leadership to enable them practice strength-based nursing care. Strength based nursing care has a prospective of becoming a game changer in nursing and also revolutionize healthcare. In this approach the focus is redirected from shortages and crisis to use of strength of resources to deal with problems and overcome any shortcomings (Gottlieb, 2012). The medical model need not be a deficit model. The two are not mutually exclusive. Physicians can diagnose and treat problems and also have a strengths perspective and practice whole-person care.

Stratification and Prejudice in Current Events
The purpose of this assignment is to explore stratification and prejudice in current events. Despite great advances towards equality between the races and genders, racial and gender discrimination, as well as class stratification remain serious social problems. To conclude this course, you will use the news media to discover current social issues with regards to race and gender.
To complete this assignment, perform the following tasks:
Using newspapers, news websites, or news magazines, select three current events (within the last six months) that reflect our studies on stratification. One event should represent racial issues, one gender issues, and one class issues. All three should demonstrate discrimination and/or stratification in American society.
Using your research, describe the current events and how they are reflective of your studies on racial, gender, and class discrimination and/or stratification.
Analyze the events and apply the lecture and text to the news articles. What theories of stratification apply? Are the current events representative of the historical trends of racial, gender, and class discrimination and or/stratification? What solutions, if any, should be applied to these current events?
In your discussion, apply your personal experiences and observations to the current events.
How do you feel that the media perpetuates discrimination and/or stratification based on race, gender, and class? Support your ideas with concepts from the text and/or appropriate outside resources.
Provide a minimum of three references and apply the correct APA standards in the format of text, citations, and references. Your paper should include a title page and reference. Your paper should be at least five pages in length, not including the title and reference pages.

Street Code
Consider this quote from Robert Sampson and William Julius Wilson in
Toward a Theory of Race, Crime, and Urban Inequality:
Shaw and McKay (1942) argued that three structural factors -- low economic status, ethnic heterogeneity, and residential mobility -- led to the disruption of local community social organization, which in turn accounted for variations in crime and delinquency rates... Arguably the most significant aspect of Shaw and McKay's research, however, was their demonstration that high rates of delinquency persisted in certain areas over many years, regardless of population turnover. More than any other, this finding led them to reject individualistic explanations of delinquency and focus instead on the processes by which delinquent and criminal patterns of behavior were transmitted across generations in areas of social disorganization and weak social controls (1942, 1969).
This is the "macrosocial" view that Sampson and Wilson discuss, that crime cannot be attributed solely to individual-level (microsocial) factors. Thinking back over the theories we've studied this term, what society-level factors do you think affect crime? And why would such factors impact different races/ethnicities differently? Is it differences in social disorganization (Shaw & McKay)? Is it the "code of the street" (Anderson)? Limited access to legitimate coping mechanisms when faced with strain (Merton, Agnew)? Get creative!

Strengths and Barriers to Program Implementation
As you design your program, it is important to anticipate potential issues related to program implementation. Careful forethought can help you to minimize unnecessary stumbling blocks during implementation.
There are strengths and barriers associated with every program. What do you see as the key factors to be aware of for your program? Brainstorm key terms such as
community, culture, environment, organization, client, bias,
and
ethics
. Give consideration to the factors you come up with
(along with those in the Learning Resources)
as you proceed with this Discussion.
To prepare:
Review the information presented in the Learning Resources. What are some of the factors (e.g., community, organization, environmental, ethical) that you consider strengths or facilitators for your program (breast cancer in African American women in the USA)?
Which ones do you think may pose a challenge for your program(breast cancer in African American women in the USA)?
How do these barriers need to be addressed in your program design?
How might the strengths be leveraged to help overcome the barriers?

Strengths: 1. Large Enrollment 2. Flexible class schedules
1. The Apollo Group is the largest provider of higher education for adults seeking an associates’, bachelors’, or masters’ degree. The University of Phoenix has over 400,000 students enrolled in one of their many degree programs. The revenues of the Apollo Group have increased by $4.9 billion and its profits increased to $553 million since 1996. 2. The Apollo Group offers classes that are catered around the schedules of working adults. Classes are offered year round with minimal breaks between semesters. Most students take one class twice a week for five to six weeks in the evenings. Classes are also offered online for students who do not wish to participate in the traditional classroom learning environment.
Weaknesses: 1. Accreditation 2. Lack of Qualified Instructors
1. The University of Phoenix (UOP) is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. This accreditation is sufficient in most states, but some states require other accreditations from that particular state. The Bachelors’ and Masters’ programs in business offered by UOP are not accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). The AACSB is the most highly recognized accreditation in the industry. By not receiving this accreditation, students who receive degrees from UOP may not be considered for positions in the business industry. 2. UOP utilizes facilitators to facilitate or lead seminar style classrooms. Most classes are comprised of 10-15 students and those students are broken up into groups of 5. Most assignments are group assignments. The class facilitator leads the discussions and guides the class through the curriculum. The facilitators are the instructors for the class. UOP does not hire or employ professors with Doctoral Degrees in order to keep their labor cost down. When a college does not employ doctoral level instructors the quality of education is impaired.
Opportunities: 1. Perceived as a low quality diploma mill. 2. Lack of doctoral staff
These two opportunities for the University of Phoenix are intertwined. The degree programs at UOP are viewed as low quality diploma mills because they do not employ a large number of doctoral level instructors on their campuses. The class room curriculum is developed by the class facilitators. Those facilitators are not considered qualified in the education arena to develop such curriculums for bachelor and master level degree programs. Therefore, UOP is viewed as a for profit educational college that enrolls students in a degree program that does not equip them to handle the challenges they will face in the real world. It is a weakness, because in some states the graduates will not considered for a position in their field of study because UOP is not accredited.
Threats: 1. Competition. 2. Regulatory Issues
1. UOP faces more competition now as more public and private sector universities are now offering adult degree programs and online.
Street artist Shepard Fairey, who was graduated from the Rhode I.docxcpatriciarpatricia
Street artist Shepard Fairey, who was graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design, and the nation’s largest news wire service, The Associated Press (A.P.), sued each other over who owns the right to use and sell a well-recognized photograph image of President Obama. The A.P. claims that Fairey is profiting from a photo taken by a freelance photographer, Mannie Garcia, at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Fairey used the photograph as inspiration for his familiar “HOPE” poster, which became an unofficial symbol of the Obama presidential campaign.
Fairey claims that he simply used the A.P. photo “as a visual reference” and that his poster transforms the image in Garcia’s picture into a brand-new work of art with its own copyright protection.
The U.S. Copyright Code gives the creator of a photograph (or any kind of creative work, including movies, books, articles and songs) – the legal right to limit how other people can use the photo.
Background
A photograph, like any piece of creative work, becomes protected by copyright as soon as it is “fixed.” That means, as soon as the image is recorded in the photographer’s camera. The photo does not have to be registered with the U.S. Copyright Office or marked with the (c) copyright symbol to be legally protected.
When a photo is copyrighted, that means that the owner has the right to decide how other people use it. A wire service like The Associated Press makes its money by charging newspapers, magazines, broadcasters, and websites a fee to use its photographs. So, the A.P. is very protective about making sure that people are not duplicating or reselling its photos without a license and paying.
Photos are protected by copyright even when they are placed on the Web in a way that makes it very easy to duplicate them. An owner does not give up his copyright just by displaying the photo on a website.
If a person is accused of violating copyright law (“copyright infringement”), he can defend himself by proving that he made a “
fair use
.” The federal copyright law recognizes a “fair use” defense to allow people to make limited use of other people’s creative work, as long as they add some new creative value or meaning. Common examples of fair use are sampling a phrase from a popular song recording as part of a new song, or showing a brief clip from a movie to go along with a movie review.
To decide whether someone’s use of another person’s creative work is or isn’t a fair use, there are four points to consider:
Section 107 of the Copyright Act
defines fair use as follows:
[T]he fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.

STREAM MORPHOLOGY
Overview
Students will construct a physical scale model of a stream system
to help understand how streams and rivers shape the solid earth
(i.e., the landscape). Students will perform several experiments
to determine streamflow properties under different conditions.
They will apply the scientific method, testing their own scenarios
regarding human impacts to river systems.
Outcomes
• Design a stream table model to analyze the different
characteristics of streamflow.
• Explain the effects of watersheds on the surrounding
environment in terms of the biology, water quality, and economic
importance of streams.
• Identify different stream features based on their geological
formation due to erosion and deposition.
• Develop an experiment to test how human actions can modify
stream morphology in ways that may, in turn, impact riparian
ecosystems.

Background
A watershed is an area of land that drains
any form of precipitation into the earth’s water
bodies (see Figure 1). The entire land area that
forms this connection of atmospheric water to
the water on Earth, whether it is rain flowing into
a lake or snow soaking into the groundwater, is
considered a watershed.
Water covers approximately 70% of the earth’s
surface. However, about two-thirds of all water
is impaired to some degree, with less than
1% being accessible, consumable freshwater.
Keeping watersheds pristine is the leading
method for providing clean drinking water to
communities, and it is a high priority worldwide.
However, with increased development and
people flocking toward waterfront regions to live,
downstream communities are becoming increas-
ingly polluted every day.

then-candidiitc liarack Obama began
inserting the phrase it sense ofurgeney
into his comments about the economy.
A Sense ofUrgeney (Harvard Business
Press, 2008) is the title of Kotter s
latest book on fostering change in
organizations—a subject the Harvard
Business School professor has owned
since publishing the seminal Leading
Change, in 1996.
Kotter believes there arc two kinds
of urgency—and, like cholesterol, one
is good and one is bad. The good kind
is characterized by constant scrutiny of
external promise and peril. It involves
relentless focus on doing only those
things that move the business forward in
the marketplace and on doing them right
now, if not sooner. 'I'he bad kind—to
which many companies have recently
succumbed^—is panic driven and charac-
terized by breathless activity that winds
up prodticing nothing demonstrably new,
Kotter advises leaders to stamp out
the bad urgency, which demoralizes and
drains people, and use the^—tiare we say
it?—opportunity of the economic crisis
to remake their organizations with a lean
and hungry look. And he encourages
them to sustain that newfound urgency
even when flush times return. Editor-at-
large I.eigh Fiuchanan spoke with Kotter
about his urgent call to urgency.
Samue! Johnson said nothing focuses
the mind like a hanging. Has that
happened with the recession? Has
it focused the minds of company
leaders and created the sense of
urgency you advocate?
1
Relentless Leadership guru John Kotter, author of 4 Sense oí Urgency,
says you should be doing something right now, today this very moment,
to move your company forward.
I wish that it had. Many companies
probably think they're responding with
urgency, and there are certainly a lot ot
people running aroujid tr)ing to come up
with solutions. But most ofthat activity is
going to be ineffectual, because it is driven
by a fear of losing. It's not that gut-level
determination to win and to make abso-
lutely sure that they do something every
single day to keep pushing that goal
forward. That's true urgency.
How can you distinguish good urgency
fronn bad urgency?
There are lots of signs of false urgency.
Frenetic activity. Everyone is exhausted,
working 14-hour days. One red flag is
how difficult it is to schedule a meeting.
With true urgency, people leave lots of
white space on their calendars, because
they recognize that the important
stuft^—the stuff they need to deal with
immediately—is going to happen. If

Strategies for Change
Week 7: "The Hard Side of Change Management"
Change is a challenge. This isn’t news. We focus on all the elements that may stand in our way such as human resistance, poor leadership, or lack of motivation. But sometimes we get so wrapped up in these soft elements of change that we overlook the nuts and bolts, the hard elements that are important to making change successful.
Initial Post Instructions
After reading “The Hard Side of Change Management” this week, it will be fruitful to explore additional theories of change management. To prepare for the discussion forum this week, conduct some research on other theories: complexity theory; Kurt Lewin's Force Field Analysis (Unfreeze, Change, Freezing); Morgan's
Images of Organization
or related articles.
Compare and contrast these models with Kotter's
8 Steps to Change
. At this point, refrain from personal opinion - focus on an objective analysis of the theories themselves.
Follow Up Posts, 75-150 words minimum
After your initial post, read over the items posted by your peers and your instructor. Select at least two different posts, and address the following items in your responses:
i. Did your peer’s assessment of the different theories offer new insights to you?
ii. What questions remain in your mind after reading their analyses of these change model? Invite further conversation about these theories.
Patricia McCarthy
Kurt Lewin’s Force Field Analysis involved three steps, unfreezing, moving and refreezing. Lewin’s three concepts considered the ideas of shaping and incorporating a way to deal with the investigating, comprehension and achieving change at the organizational and societal level. The unfreezing stage was based on that the balance should be destabilized (unfrozen) before old conduct can be disposed of (unlearned) and new conduct effectively embraced. Under the moving stage one should try to consider every one of the powers at work and distinguish and assess, on a testing premise, all the accessible alternatives. In the final stage refreezing new conduct must be, somewhat, compatible with the remainder of the conduct, character and condition of the person or it will just prompt another round of disconfirmation.
Morgan’s tactic was based on the principle that organization concepts depended on the understanding of images of the organization. Metaphors can be viewed as ideas which can support the understanding of an organization. Morgan’s ideas “metaphors” are a machine, an organism, an information processor (brain), a culture, a political system, a psychic prison, a flux and transformation, an instrument of domination. Morgan’s metaphors have filled in as methods for translating hierarchical issues, as beginning stages for research, and as edges for characterizing writing in the field. The metaphors also include various theories and means of making sense of organizations while some scholars see them as a tool to analyze and.

StrategicCompetitive PositionApple Inc. is known for its state-of.docxcpatriciarpatricia
Strategic/Competitive Position
Apple Inc. is known for its state-of-the-art designs for products such as the iPhone, but most are unaware that Apple has used technology to streamline its supply chain management and operational systems to provide competitive pricing. This use of technology has allowed the company to under price its competitors and yet maintain a 25 percent margin on their products. The use of IT has provided Apple with a strategic and competitive position which most of their competitors find difficult to match or exceed.
Using your company or a real-world example from your research, analyze how information systems affect the firm’s strategic and competitive position.
Using the assigned readings and the Argosy University online library resources, explain how information technology:
Impacts competitive rivalry, such as pricing, promotion, and distribution
Enables or dissuades new entrants
Enables customers to achieve greater bargaining power
Enables suppliers to gain more bargaining power
Gives rise to substitute products or services that threaten the existing market

Strategies for Negotiation & Conflict Resolution
Dr. Janice Barrett
Notes onCrisis Management and Conflict Resolution
Defining a crisis: An event that brings, or has the potential for bringing, an organization and its leaders into disrepute and imperil the organization’s future profitability, reputation, growth and possibly its very survival.
Financial measures of a crisis: bankruptcy, drop in sales, boycotts, loss of valuable employees etc.
Tarnished reputation results: the erosion of a company’s reputation in the eyes of its many stakeholders and the general public --- the worth of an entire organization can be endangered as a consequence.
Characteristics of a crisis:
Suddenness
Uncertainty
Time compression
The seven types of crises:
1. nature (natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods)
2. technology (oil spills, nuclear reactor accidents)
3. confrontation (equal rights, strikes)
4. malevolence (terrorists, disinformation)
5. skewed values (fraud, cheating, embezzlement)
6. deception (withholding information, lying, deceptive products)
7. misconduct (illegal or criminal acts).
Essentials of a contingency plan: Contingency planning involves formulating responses to crises before they occur. The essentials of a contingency plan include: anticipating what might happen, searching for preventative and preparatory measures, and drafting appropriate responses to those situations most likely to occur or whose impact is greatest.
Other, more specific elements are: Identify all potential contingencies and areas of vulnerability, examine specific vulnerabilities, review general vulnerabilities based on the organization’s “public nature”, establish crisis thresholds and assign crisis alert responsibilities, organize and train a crisis management team and establish a crisis communications center, Obtain advanced approvals for contingency plan measures, list and prioritize publics that must be informed, prepare a crisis media list and background press materials, and designate and train spokespersons.
The most important tasks are: Identifying risks, ranking those risks in a matrix based on relative impact as compared to probability of occurrence, and finally creating plans to eliminate or mitigate the impact of the most impactful and highest probable incidents. Every crisis cannot be planned for; there are simply not enough resources to do so. However, high impact, and high probability risks can be eliminated, or at least mitigated by proper planning and management.

III.History of Internet
● History:
● Initial conception grew out of government suspicion
and social hysteria
around Cold War between US and Russia in 1950’s-
1960’s
● Push to develop alternative communication systems
that would operate
if Nuclear attacks knocked out normal
telecommunication systems
● Computer networks linked four Universities over
phone lines
● Limited to written correspondence only (April 7,
1969-first
11. document-“start date for Internet”); no interactive
sessions
● Network Language:
○ TCP/IP: (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol)
■ Suite of protocols that define the Internet
■ Method of communication between programs which
enables transfer of information
● IMAP: (Internet message Access Protocol)
○ Method of accessing electronic mail or bulletin
board

traveling
○ Routers: Special-purpose software packages that
handle the
connection between two or more networks
○ Cookies: storage platforms for information
○ Domain Name System: Group of computers on a
common
network defined by common IP addresses
■ Examples: com (commercial organization), edu
(educational institution), gov (government
organization), org (non-profit organization), net
(Internet access providers)
12. ○ Cloud Computing: Delivers computing as a service;
system
involves a set of services, technologies and virtual
resources
○ Examples: video sites (YouTube); communication tools
(Skype)
○ Company software and application updates may be
centrally
uploaded thus negating maintenance and upkeep of
individual
computers
● Cyberworld: Three different levels of networked
systems: Intranets,
Internets, Internet
○ Intranets:
● Small local networks connecting computers within
one organization
● Controlled by common system administrator
● internets:
○ Connect several networks
○ Usually located in small geographical area
○ Share common protocol (usually TCP/IP)
● The Internet:
○ Largest network in the world
○ TCI/IP-based network links millions of users globally
13. across
more than 45,000 networks
1. INTERNET CATEGORIES
● World Wide Web: An electronic marketplace or
arena where electronic
storefronts of businesses, civic groups, individuals and
government
entities display their products or ideologies
○ Each web site is characterized by its Uniform
Resource
Locator (URL)
○ Designs range from simple text-only sites to
advanced
video-audio configuration
● Bulletin Boards: Posting services similar to a
community bulletin board
in a library, transportation hub, schools, municipal
buildings
○ Individuals can access software, post personal
information,
and exchange electronic mail
○ Very popular among subversive, terrorist groups,
child
pornographers (private areas for illegal communications)
○ Protected by First Amendment
14. ○ Difficult for law Enforcement due to Jurisdictional
Issues:
access in one county and board is physically located
in
another jurisdiction
● Internet Relay Chat (Chat Rooms)
○ On line discussions in chat rooms
○ Allow users to interact with several others at same
time (party
line)
○ Characterized by topic
○ Users may choose to observe, participate in group
discussions or private
○ Topics range from harmless interests like sports,
hobbies to
profane
■ Solicitations for sex very common in “teen rooms”

II. Computer Language
● Binary Language: structure of data which is
processed through the
computer
○ Bit: smallest piece of data-either positive or
17. negative electrical
state, 1 or 0
○ Byte: Comprised of 8 Bits; each byte represents a
letter,
number or character
■ Eight Bits=One Byte (letter-number-character)
■ Example: 01000001(bits)=A (byte)
● Kilobyte: 1,000 characters; One-half page of text
● Gigabyte: 1billion characters; Truck full of paper
● Computer Hardware (Input Devices): also categorized
as output or
storage devices
○ Components that are physical in nature: modems,
keyboards,mouse,scanner
○ Mediums through which information is introduced
into
computer
● Computer Software (Analyze): series of instructions
performing
particular tasks
○ Instructs computer components
■ What to do and how to interact with user
■ Three types: boot sequence-operating
system-application software
18. ■ Boot Sequence: series of steps
before starting to use computer
■ Operating System: runs user
applications and provides
interface to the hardware:
Windows, Macintosh
● Application Software: prepackaged instructions allow
users to perform
various functions: word processing, statistical analysis,
play games etc.
○ Programs: Establishes sequence of rules through
which
software operates
○ Source Code: Set of instructions written in a
program
○ Object Code: What is actually executed by the
computer
● Hacker Terminology
○ Back door: Deliberate hole in software or program
to allow
unauthorized access
○ Cracker: Name given by traditional hackers to
individuals who
violated secure systems for illegal purposes
○ DDoS attack: (Distributed Denial of Service attack
): Use of
19. multiple systems to inundate (flood) a single system,
causing
the target site to shut down
○ Logic bomb: Piece of code inserted into software
program that
performs a malicious function when programmed
conditions
are met
○ Phishing: Solicitation of information (personal,
financial) via
e-mail from a
fraudster posing as a legitimate firm for the purpose
of stealing identifying data
○ Phreaking: Violating secure telephone systems and
making
illegal calls or transactions from the system
○ Trojan Horse: Harmless looking program that hides
malicious
content to damage targeted computer
III. History of Internet
● History:
● Initial conception grew out of government suspicion
and social hysteria
around Cold War between US and Russia in 1950’s-
20. 1960’s
● Push to develop alternative communication systems
that would operate
if Nuclear attacks knocked out normal
telecommunication systems
● Computer networks linked four Universities over
phone lines
● Limited to written correspondence only (April 7,
1969-first
document-“start date for Internet”); no interactive
sessions
● Network Language:
○ TCP/IP: (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol)
■ Suite of protocols that define the Internet
■ Method of communication between programs which
enables transfer of information
● IMAP: (Internet message Access Protocol)
○ Method of accessing electronic mail or bulletin
board
messages that are kept on a shared server
■ Examples: Access from home, work, notebook while
traveling
○ Routers: Special-purpose software packages that
handle the
connection between two or more networks

○ Domain Name System: Group of computers on a
common
network defined by common IP addresses
■ Examples: com (commercial organization), edu
(educational institution), gov (government
organization), org (non-profit organization), net
(Internet access providers)
○ Cloud Computing: Delivers computing as a service;
system
involves a set of services, technologies and virtual
resources
○ Examples: video sites (YouTube); communication tools
(Skype)
○ Company software and application updates may be
centrally
uploaded thus negating maintenance and upkeep of
individual
computers
● Cyberworld: Three different levels of networked
systems: Intranets,
Internets, Internet
○ Intranets:
● Small local networks connecting computers within
one organization
22. ● Controlled by common system administrator
● internets:
○ Connect several networks
○ Usually located in small geographical area
○ Share common protocol (usually TCP/IP)
● The Internet:
○ Largest network in the world
○ TCI/IP-based network links millions of users globally
across
more than 45,000 networks
1. INTERNET CATEGORIES
● World Wide Web: An electronic marketplace or
arena where electronic
storefronts of businesses, civic groups, individuals and
government
entities display their products or ideologies
○ Each web site is characterized by its Uniform
Resource
Locator (URL)
○ Designs range from simple text-only sites to
advanced
video-audio configuration
● Bulletin Boards: Posting services similar to a
community bulletin board
in a library, transportation hub, schools, municipal
buildings
23. ○ Individuals can access software, post personal
information,
and exchange electronic mail
○ Very popular among subversive, terrorist groups,
child
pornographers (private areas for illegal communications)
○ Protected by First Amendment
○ Difficult for law Enforcement due to Jurisdictional
Issues:
access in one county and board is physically located
in
another jurisdiction
● Internet Relay Chat (Chat Rooms)
○ On line discussions in chat rooms
○ Allow users to interact with several others at same
time (party
line)
○ Characterized by topic
○ Users may choose to observe, participate in group
discussions or private
○ Topics range from harmless interests like sports,
hobbies to
profane
■ Solicitations for sex very common in “teen rooms”
24. Case Study
Henry Brusca is a 68-year-old, married father of 7 who was in
relatively good health until 3 weeks ago. At that time, he visited
the emergency room with the complaint of “just not feeling
right.” His BP on admission was 170/118, so he was admitted to
the coronary care unit with the diagnosis of uncontrolled HTN.
His BP was controlled with medication, and he was discharged
several days later. He is now being seen for follow-up care and
management of HTN. Because Mr. Brusca is newly diagnosed
with HTN, you will need to complete a history and thorough
cardiovascular examination.
