Assignment 3b: Threats Defense Argument
Due in Week 10 and worth 100 points
The information you provided in your presentation on Threats to the Global Environment has led to productive debates at
the UN General Assembly! There are now questions about prioritizing the issues at hand. Some of the countries are
challenging your recommendations and questioning your reasons for not including the issues they believe are priority.
From the initial eight global threats, there are four remaining threats that you did not choose in the list of major global
issues. Review the list of topics and reflect on two that you did not use in last week’s assignment. Defend your reason for
considering these topics lower in priority than the ones in your presentation.
Energy sources Civil war
Globalization Poor health of entire populations
Lack of educational opportunities Cultural taboos
Inappropriate uses of technology Climate change
The completed version of this assignment will consist of the following:
1. Select two threats from the list above that you did not use in your Assignment 3a presentation.
2. Create a minimum two-page document in which you outline a counterargument for the two threats you selected:
Write an opening statement describing the perception of each threat.
Write one paragraph for each threat (two paragraphs total) in which you give three reasons to explain
why the threat is less of a priority to the global environment than the four you selected in Assignment
3a. Support your reasons with at least three credible sources.
A conclusion statement for each threat.
3. Cite at least three credible sources excluding Wikipedia, dictionaries, and encyclopedias for your assessment. A
brief list of suggested resources has been provided at the end of the course guide.
The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
Examine the factors that account for why the growth in the world’s population can negatively affect the
global society
Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic/organization of the paper, and language and writing
skills, using the following rubric:
APA Formatting
This document has the summarized, high points of the APA format that all students need to be aware in writing papers academically. There are many more details and requirements in the APA than in this condensed version. If the item needed is not included here, please refer to the APA manual or visit the Purdue University Online Writing Lab (OWL) website for more specific information in APA formatting.
Your essay should be typed, double-spaced on standard-sized paper (8.5" x 11") with 1" margins on all sides. Indent 5 spaces or ½ inch on the first line of every paragraph. You should use a clear font that is highly readable. APA recommends using 12 pt. Times New Roman font. There are two aspects of essay formats that you should keep in mind:
· Every other line in the entire paper will have text.
· Consistency and unifor.

Abstract
Abstracts are research tools that can help you readers determine if the scope of your article/essay will help them in their own research. In APA, abstracts are typically 150-250 words in length and provide an evaluative summary of the essay to follow. The personal opinion of the author is strictly prohibited in abstracts. Unlike a body paragraph, the first line of an abstract is not tabbed-in. For many student essays, especially in lower-numbers courses, an abstract will not be required; still, it is good to practice this skill.
Title of Essay
In APA style, the introduction of the essay should begin here, followed by the body paragraphs. APA is typically a more formal style than most students are accustomed to using in a writing course. For the purposes of this course, the level of formality should be based on the assignment. For example: APA asks that students always write in third person (avoiding words such as I, me, we, our(s), you, your(s), etc). Certain rhetorical modes, however, don’t cater well to third person (narrative and reflection writing are two such examples). In these situations, first person (I, me, we, our(s)) may be, and should be employed; second person (you, your(s)) should be avoided in all academic writing unless an essay is specifically designed to relay instructions (there are few assignments that will employ second person).
Like any essay, students should make sure their essays are formatted with one inch margins, with their text exclusively in Times New Roman 12-point font, and students should double space their lines. This document can be downloaded and used as a template wherein students may simply replace names, titles, dates, and so on with their own information.
The final page of this document will demonstrate a References page. If a student uses information from any source, that source must be identified within the text and listed on a References page. These citations should be listed in alphabetical order and, opposite to the way a normal paragraph works, the first line should be flush left and each following line should be tabbed in. Though there is really no substitute for a good APA Style Manual, students can refer to a citation generator such as www.citationmachine.net to ensure proper formatting. Any further questions should be directed to the instructor of the course.

Grand Canyon University
American Psychological Association [APA] Style Guide for WritingIntroduction
Students of Grand Canyon University (GCU) are required to use the guidelines provided by the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.) for preparing written assignments, except where otherwise noted. GCU has made APA templates and other resources available within the Student Success Center; therefore, students are not required to purchase the APA manual.
PLEASE NOTE:
The curriculum materials (Syllabus, Lectures/Readings, Resources, etc.) created and provided by GCU in the online or Web-enhanced modalities are prepared using an editorial format that relies on APA as a framework but that modifies some formatting criteria to better suit the nature and purpose of instructional materials. Students and faculty are advised that GCU course materials do not adhere strictly to APA format and should not be used as examples of correct APA format when preparing written work for class.
APA Format and Style
General
Academic writing, which is independent thought supported by reliable and relevant research, depends on the ability to integrate and cite the sources that have been consulted. Use APA style for all references, in-text citations, formatting, etc.
Write in first- and second-person sparingly, if ever. This means, avoid using I, we, and you; instead, use he, she, and they. Do not use contractions.Paper Format
1) Use standard-sized paper of 8.5″ x 11″.
2) Margins should be 1″ all around (top, bottom, left, right).
3) Use Times New Roman 12-point font.
4) For emphasis, use italics (not quotation marks, bold, etc.).
5) Double-space.
6) Align the text flush left. Organization
The basic organization of an APA-style paper includes the title page, abstract, body, and reference section, though students are encouraged to follow any specific directions given in their Overview assignment.
Title Page
The title page includes four elements that should be centered in the middle of the page: title, author byline, institutional affiliation followed by the course prefix and number (e.g., Grand Canyon University: PSY 351), and date of submission. Please note that even though APA does not require the date on a title page, it is a requirement for GCU papers.
Being the first page, the title page is where to set up your page header, which includes the running head and the page number. The running head—an abbreviated title that is a maximum of 50 characters—should appear flush left in all uppercase letters in the header on all pages. Page numbers should be in the header, flush right.
To format your running head and page numbers in Microsoft Word 2010, click InsertHeader Blank. In the header box that shows up, type Running head: ABBREVIATED TITLE HERE. After the title, tab over till the cursor is at the right margin, highlight the space, and click InsertPage Number and select Current PositionPlain Number.

th
Edition APA Formatting
An APA formatted paper is created using one-inch margins at the top, bottom, left, and
right sides. APA papers are always double spaced. Paragraphs are indented ½ inch. Just type the
TAB key once. The body of your paper consists of the information you researched on your
paper’s topic in order to support your own position or thesis.
If the information in your paper is not your own original thought, you need to include an
in-text citation and a references page to give credit to the original author of the idea. Your paper
should include direct quotes and paraphrasing. You will notice in this paper, there are several
different types of in-text citations, and they have been created using correct APA formatting for
in-text citations.
Types of In-Text Citations
In-text citations are used when you paraphrase, summarize, or otherwise refer to
information you’ve learned during your research. The first two in-text citations in this paper are
examples of how to set up in-text citations when you’re paraphrasing, summarizing, or referring
to the information from a source rather than copying text word for word. They demonstrate how
to give credit to the author. For the first type of citation, place the author’s last name and the year
of publication at the end of the sentence in parenthesis (Reed, 2005). Notice the comma and
space after the author’s name and notice the period for the sentence is after the final parentheses.
Another variation is when you use the author’s name at the beginning of the sentence. In the
following sentence, you will notice that Mary Nelson’s last name only appears at the beginning
of the sentence; therefore, the in-text citation immediately follows her name. According to
Nelson (2005), the use of APA formatting for in-text citations is very easy to complete.
The paper begins with the full title of the paper.

Abstract
Following generally accepted rules for preparing manuscripts will help students confidently structure professional papers. This manuscript provides a basic layout for students to apply in this program and in their professional writing. The approach is based upon the sixth edition of the APA guidelines (2009). The topics of general formatting, the introduction, section headings, quotations, citations, conclusion, and references are discussed. The APA guidelines define an abstract as a single paragraph, without indentation, that summarizes the key points of the manuscript. The purpose of the abstract is to provide the reader with a brief summary of the paper, such as this abstract. The total length should not exceed 120 words, with each sentence written concisely.
Introduction
Learning to write in a recognized
professional format, such as APA, will help students achieve effective academic and professional writing. Using an established manuscript format is more efficient for the author and the reader, leading to more effective communication. According to a College Board (2004) survey of 120 major American corporations, “in today’s workplace writing is a threshold skill for hiring ...

This APA Sample Paper is intended for undergraduate and master’s level students.
The University of Phoenix APA sample papers represent the consensus of key academic officials within the University. This particular
sample reflects expectations outlined in the University of Phoenix Writing and Style Guidelines for undergraduate and master’s courses,
which correspond with the University’s preferred style guide for most programs: The Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association, Seventh Edition. If your course materials direct you to follow MLA style, please see the MLA resources in the Center for
Writing Excellence (CWE) > MLA Information.
This sample paper is offered as a concise tool to help students with style, but it is not a definitive or binding representation of format for
all courses. The CWE provides many tools to help students write and format effective papers; however, the faculty member determines
the assignment grade in the course.
Abstract: Typically, an abstract is required only for
publication. If your assignment instructions indicate

Abstract
Following generally accepted rules for preparing manuscripts will help students confidently structure professional papers. This manuscript provides a basic layout for students to apply in this program and in their professional writing. The approach is based upon the sixth edition of the APA guidelines (2009). The topics of general formatting, the introduction, section headings, quotations, citations, conclusion, and references are discussed. The APA guidelines define an abstract as a single paragraph, without indentation, that summarizes the key points of the manuscript. The purpose of the abstract is to provide the reader with a brief summary of the paper, such as this abstract. The total length should not exceed 120 words, with each sentence written concisely.
Introduction
Learning to write in a recognized
professional format, such as APA, will help students achieve effective academic and professional writing. Using an established manuscript format is more efficient for the author and the reader, leading to more effective communication. According to a College Board (2004) su.

Assignment 3 Neuroanatomy ProjectImagine that you are working in .docxdanielfoster65629
Assignment 3: Neuroanatomy Project
Imagine that you are working in a neurology clinic. One of the neurologists tells you that as her practice is expanding, she is having difficulty meeting the education needs of her patients. Part of this problem is explaining the basic neuroanatomical structures to the patients in layperson’s language so that they understand their diagnoses and their underlying neurological impairment. The neurologist asks you to create a written guide for the patients, including both the CNS and PNS. She describes what the basic neuroanatomical structures are, where they are located, how they interact, and what function they serve.
She asks you to name the structures by using the correct technical language but to use layperson’s language as much as possible elsewhere.
Your "Neuroanatomy Guide" should cover the following:
Basic neuroanatomical structures (including the CNS and PNS, as well as the structural packaging that protects the brain from the environment)
Locations of these structures
Functions they serve (what functions damage to this area may affect)
How they interact
Be sure to explain the information in layperson’s language, and use graphics and pictures where helpful. Use APA format when citing material from scholarly sources such as your textbook and online notes. Include a cover page and a reference page listing the resources you used to create your guide.

Assignment 3: Mobile Computing and Social Networking
Due Week 7 and worth 75 points
Mobile computing has dramatically changed how information is accessed and shared. Wireless networking has been an enabler of mobile computing. One profession that mobile computing has had a big impact on is health care management.

Assignment 3: Management Accounting Case: West Island Products
Due Week 8, Day 7 (100 points)
6 pages
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
•

services.
•

information for decision-making purposes.
•

Assignment:
West Island Products (WIP) is a divisionalized furniture manufacturer. The divisions are
autonomous segments with each division responsible for its own sales, cost of operations, and
equipment acquisition. Divisional performance is evaluated annually based on ROI. Each division
serves a different market in the furniture industry. Because the markets and products of the
divisions are so different, there have never been any transfers between divisions.
The Commercial Division of WIP, manufacturers furniture for the restaurant industry. The
Commercial Division plans to introduce a new line of counter chair units featuring a cushioned
seat. Roberta Katz, the Commercial Division manager, has discussed the manufacturing of the
cushioned seats with Nathan Danielson of the Office Division. They both believe a cushioned
seat currently made by the Office Division for use on its deluxe office stool could be modified for
use on the new counter chair. Consequently, Katz asked Danielson for a price for 100-unit lots of
the cushioned seats. The following conversation took place about the price to be charged for the
cushioned seats.
Danielson:
“Roberta, we can make the necessary modifications to the cushioned seat easily.
The raw materials used in the new counter chair seat are slightly different and
should cost about 10 percent more than those used in our deluxe office stool.
However, the labor time should be the same because the seat fabrication
process is the same. I would price the cushioned seat at our regular rate: full cost
plus a 30 percent mark-up. According to my calculations, that would be $2,053
per lot of 100 seats.”
Katz:
“That’s higher than I expected, Nathan. I was thinking that a good price would be
your variable manufacturing cost. After all, your fixed costs will be incurred
regardless of this job. In addition, I have received a quote from one of the
Commercial Division’s regular suppliers to provide us with the counter seats at
$1,900 per lot of 100 seats.”
Danielson:
“Roberta, I am at full capacity. By making the cushioned seats for you, I have to
cut my production of deluxe office stools. The labor time freed by not having to
fabricate the frame and assemble the deluxe stool can be shifted to the
production of the economy stool. I’d like to sell the cushioned seats to you at my
variable cost, but I have excess.

Assignment 3 Juvenile ProbationIn many ways, juvenile probation i.docxdanielfoster65629
Assignment 3: Juvenile Probation
In many ways, juvenile probation is similar to adult probation. Both types of probation involve sanctions imposed by the court, necessitating close supervision of the offender, coupled with the looming threat of a more severe punishment, typically incarceration, if the offender fails to comply with the conditions stipulated in his or her probation.
Given the inherent complexity of working with juveniles, juvenile probation includes components, rules, and processes not found in adult probation. For example, probation officers must take into account factors such as school and parental wishes while determining how a particular case should be handled. These factors are not taken into consideration in adult probation. Also, juvenile probation officers must contend with and account for the inclusion of status offenses, which can be more difficult to track and monitor.
Tasks:
Prepare a 3- to 5-page report on your local juvenile probation department. In your report:
Describe the types of juvenile cases that your local juvenile probation department has taken care of in the past.
Locate and comment on the following:
The department’s mission and vision statement
Whether the juvenile department is located with the adult probation department and community corrections
The number of services aimed toward juveniles
The statistics that demonstrate the department’s effectiveness
State the overall assessment of your local juvenile probation department. Explain based on your research whether you think the department is run well. Does the department meet the needs of local youth? Support your answer with evidence.

Assignment 3 Gender IdentityWe are socialized at every stage in l.docxdanielfoster65629
Assignment 3: Gender Identity
We are socialized at every stage in life to conform to our gender identity. Societal reinforcement of tendencies of gender identity is relentless. For example, in hospitals, little girls are wrapped in pink and little boys in blue. This difference in colors influences how we learn and how we internalize our role in our society.
Girls tend to grow up to play feminine roles and boys tend to grow up to play masculine roles. This differentiation of gender identity has implications in social stratification. The videos given below will provide you with a better understanding of the differentiation of sexual identity from an earlier generation.
Search for and watch an episode of at least one of the following shows. You may find these videos using a variety of search methods including visiting your local library, using Netflix or your local video store, or searching on YouTube. If you have difficulty locating an episode of one of the following shows, contact your instructor for assistance in finding an alternative.
I Love Lucy
All in the Family
The Mickey Mouse Club
The Honeymooners
Leave it to Beaver
Father Knows Best
Gilligan’s Island
The Brady Bunch
I Dream of Jeannie
As you watch the video, ask yourself the following questions:
To what extent have things changed and to what extent have they remained the same in regards to gender roles, expectations, division, and identity from the time this show was originally popular and today?
How conscious and sensitive are the characters regarding gender prejudice, power inequality, and subordination?
Did they take inequality of the sexes for granted?
Based on your readings and understanding that you have gathered after watching the above-noted video, write a short biographical description of your life if you were to wake up tomorrow morning in the time period of the video you watched and find you have a different gender identity. Write a description of how you lived your life a day after your hypothetical change in gender as you answer the following questions
Discuss how you would react on finding out that your sex is opposite. Would you feel a sense of relief, indifference, or elation? Why?
Discuss three ways your attitude towards the opposite sex was enlightened or would change as a result of what you learned from this project. If you would not change your attitude, why?
Write down the ideas and attitudes you have taken for granted a member of your actual gender. Consider how your roles at home and in the office would change if you were a member of the opposite gender.
Relate the ideas of sexism and racism to the videos. How do you think sexism and racism have changed since the 1950s?
Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M1_A3.doc. For example, if your name is John Smith, your document will be named SmithJ_M1_A3.doc.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Assignment 3b Threats Defense ArgumentDue in Week 10 and wo.docx
1. Assignment 3b: Threats Defense Argument
Due in Week 10 and worth 100 points
The information you provided in your presentation on Threats to
the Global Environment has led to productive debates at
the UN General Assembly! There are now questions about
prioritizing the issues at hand. Some of the countries are
challenging your recommendations and questioning your
reasons for not including the issues they believe are priority.
From the initial eight global threats, there are four remaining
threats that you did not choose in the list of major global
issues. Review the list of topics and reflect on two that you did
not use in last week’s assignment. Defend your reason for
considering these topics lower in priority than the ones in your
presentation.
Energy sources Civil war
Globalization Poor health of entire populations
Lack of educational opportunities Cultural taboos
Inappropriate uses of technology Climate change
The completed version of this assignment will consist of the
following:
1. Select two threats from the list above that you did not use in
your Assignment 3a presentation.
2. Create a minimum two-page document in which you outline a
counterargument for the two threats you selected:
2. Write an opening statement describing the perception of each
threat.
Write one paragraph for each threat (two paragraphs total) in
which you give three reasons to explain
why the threat is less of a priority to the global environment
than the four you selected in Assignment
3a. Support your reasons with at least three credible sources.
A conclusion statement for each threat.
3. Cite at least three credible sources excluding Wikipedia,
dictionaries, and encyclopedias for your assessment. A
brief list of suggested resources has been provided at the end of
the course guide.
The specific course learning outcome associated with this
assignment is:
Examine the factors that account for why the growth in the
world’s population can negatively affect the
global society
Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality,
logic/organization of the paper, and language and writing
skills, using the following rubric:
APA Formatting
This document has the summarized, high points of the APA
format that all students need to be aware in writing papers
academically. There are many more details and requirements in
the APA than in this condensed version. If the item needed is
not included here, please refer to the APA manual or visit the
Purdue University Online Writing Lab (OWL) website for more
3. specific information in APA formatting.
Your essay should be typed, double-spaced on standard-sized
paper (8.5" x 11") with 1" margins on all sides. Indent 5 spaces
or ½ inch on the first line of every paragraph. You should use a
clear font that is highly readable. APA recommends using 12 pt.
Times New Roman font. There are two aspects of essay formats
that you should keep in mind:
· Every other line in the entire paper will have text.
· Consistency and uniformity is essential. Every essay from
each student will appear generally the same, except for specific
letters and words are different.
APA Title Page
The title page should contain the title of the paper, the author's
full name, and the school’s name. Include in the header of the
first page, the Running Head: and title of the paper in all
capitals are placed toward the left margin, and the page number
is placed toward the right margin. On the subsequent pages, the
header contains the title and page number. Please note that your
page number must be created with the word processor’s page
number feature. If the page number is entered in manually, it
will be the same number on every page rather than a page
number.
APA Citations
Anytime a writer borrows an idea or quote from other source, a
citation must be included in the essay. Whether it is
paraphrasing or quoting, credit must be given to avoid
plagiarism. APA requires the author’s name, year of
publication, and page or paragraph number must be included as
a citation in the paper. These three requirements can be
provided in two main options:
1. The requirements are provided at the end of the material
cited, and it is included in one simple parenthetical citation.
(author’s last name, year, page no.) Be sure to place the period
4. for the end of the sentence after the parenthetical citation.
For example:
The study indicated the patients recovered 47% of the time
without any harmful side effects (Hunter, 2004, pp. 365).
2. The author’s name is included in the body of the sentence.
The year follows the name in parentheses, and the page or
paragraph number is in parentheses at the end of the material
cited. For example:
Dr. Hunter (2004) performed two major clinical trials on breast
cancer. The studies indicated the patients recovered 47% of the
time without any harmful side effects (pp. 365).
3. When a personal interview, lecture, or seminar is used as a
source in a paper, APA only requires a citation to be included in
the body of the paper. Normally, the interviewee or lecturer
name is included in the body of the sentence, followed by the
parenthetical citation (Personal communication, date of
communication). For example:
Mr. Wayne Smith (Personal communication, June 25, 2012)
stated in an interview that each sample from the experiment
were handled and processed separated to prevent any potential
compromise of the study.
4. When using a direct quote (less than 40 words), usually the
author is used in the attributive tag with date cited after the
author. For example:
Wayne Smith (2012) explains, “Each sample from the
experiment were handled and processed separated to prevent
any potential compromise of the study.”
5. If using a block quotation (40 words or more), cite the quoted
source in parentheses after the final punctuation mark. Please
keep these points of block quotation in mind:
· Indent the block quote five spaces or half an inch.
· Do not use quotation marks.
5. · Double space the quote unless your school has a rule about
single spacing block quotes.
· Do not include any additional lines or spaces before or after
the block quote.
· Notice that in block quotes, the period goes before the
parentheses, not after.
For example:
Students at Nova Southeastern University have faced challenges
in learning how to use APA formatting. When discussing the
challenges, Strunk (1922) stated:
Use quotes around an article title or book chapter, but italicize
the title of a book, journal, brochure, or report when used in
the body of the paper. Use a short title in the parenthetical
citation or complete title if the title is short. NOTE Non-
periodical titles like books and book titles have all the
important words capitalized in the text citations, but these same
book titles do not have all the important words capitalized in
the reference list. (p. 342)
Continue here with your explanation or interpretation of the
block quote. Please write how the quote supports your thesis
specifically. This portion is a continuation of the original
paragraph that started with Students at Nova Southeastern
University.
APA References
Major points of the reference page(s) to keep in mind:
· Arrange entries in alphabetical order.
· An anonymous source is alphabetized by the word
“Anonymous.”
· A source that has no author is arranged, alphabetically by the
6. first significant word of the title.
· Do not indent the first line of the reference. Indent all
subsequent lines.
· Double space the entire references page.
· If references take up more than one page, do not retype the
word “References” on subsequent pages.
Unknown Author
If your source has an unknown author, the title of the article or
webpage is put in its place. Review the samples below for
reference and citation.
A place from where to speak: The university and academic
freedom. (2009). British
Journal of Educational Studies, 57(2), 146-163.
doi:10.1111/j.1467-
8527.2009.00429.x
NOTE: When your essay includes parenthetical citations of
sources with no author named, use a shortened version of the
source's title instead of an author's name. Use quotation marks
and italics as appropriate. For example, parenthetical citations
of the source above would appear as follows: (“A place from
where”, 2009).

E Elevation of Privilege Authorization
What is Privacy?
• Lots of land with trees & bushes
• Curtains or venetian blinds
• Unlisted phone numbers, mailboxes
• Swiss bank accounts
What is Privacy? (II)
• Freedom from surveillance/NSA
• Anonymity
• Right to be left alone
• “Do not track” in browsers
Privacy vs Confidentiality
• Confidentiality is about the data
• Protects data from unauthorized users
• Privacy is about the individual
• How the data is used
11. National
• Freedom from surveillance/NSA
• Anonymity
• Right to be left alone
• “Do not track” in browsers
Harms Approach to Privacy
• Dan Solove (George Washington University law
professor)
• Understanding Privacy (2008)
• Presented privacy as a family of issues
• Presented a taxonomy of harms
• Can be used as a basis for looking at a system
Solove’s Harms
• Identifier creation*
• Information collection
• Surveillance, interrogation
• Information Processing
• Aggregation, identification, insecurity, secondary use,
exclusion
• Information dissemination
• Breach of confidentiality, disclosure, increased accessibility,
12. blackmail,
appropriation, distortion, [exposure]
• Invasion
• Intrusion, decisional interference
* Shostack adds identifier creation in Threat Modeling, see
discussion (page 112).
IETF Privacy Considerations
• Set of threats that each new protocol should consider
• Likely to change rapidly in post-Snowden world
• Combined security/privacy threats
• Surveillance, stored data compromise, misattribution
• Privacy threats
• Correlation, identification, secondary use, disclosure,
exclusion
(unawareness)
Privacy Impact Assessments
• A privacy analog to security threat modeling
• Usually presented as an end-to-end process
• Often more social than technical
• Can be very complementary
• Typical table of contents:
13. • Description of the project
• Description of the data flows[!]
• Analysis against “the” information privacy principles
• Analysis against other aspects of privacy
• Analysis of privacy controls
• Findings and recommendations
Nymity Slider
• Nymity: “the amount of information about the identity of
participants that is revealed in a transaction”
• Easy to move left, hard to move right
• Measure your system, don’t move accidentally
Contextual Integrity
• Helen Nissenbaum’s Privacy In Context (2009)
• A context is an anthropological term for a “sphere of life”
such as “school” or “work”
• Can be more specific — “This university’s CS department
expects…” — is a context
• A context has roles, activities, norms and values
associated with it (usually implicitly)
• Can be used to understand or predict privacy concerns
14. Augmented Contextual Integrity
• Simply:
1. Describe the new practice in information flows*
2. Identify the prevailing context
3. Identify information subjects, senders, & recipients*
4. Identify transmission principles*
5. Locate applicable norms, identify significant changes
6. Prima facie assessment
7. Evaluation
1. Moral & political, threats to autonomy/freedom, power
structures, fairness, justice, equality, etc.
8. Evaluation 2
1. Does the new directly impinge on values, goals of context?
9. Decide
• * Elements look a lot like other threat modeling
• Can be a lot of work in each step
LINDDUN
• Explicit mirror of STRIDE-per-element for privacy threat
modeling
• New proposal, unusual terminology
• LINDDUN
• Linkability
• Identifiability
• Non-Repudiation (vs Repudiation as a security threat)
15. • Detectability
• Disclosure of Information
• Content Unawareness
• Policy and consent Non-compliance

• Privacy can be challenging compared to security
• High potential for things to go badly wrong

“Processing Threats”
Agenda
16. • When to find threats
• Playing chess
• How to approach software
• Tracking threats and assumptions
• Customer/vendor
• The API threat model
• Reading: Chapter 7
When to Find Threats
• Start at the beginning of your project
• Create a model of what you’re building
• Do a first pass for threats
• Dig deep as you work through features
• Think about how threats apply to your mitigations
• Check your design & model matches as you get close to
shipping
Attackers Respond to Your Defenses
Playing Chess
• The ideal attacker will follow the road you defend
• Ideal attackers are like spherical cows — they’re a useful
model for some
things
17. • Real attackers will go around your defenses
• Your defenses need to be broad and deep
“Orders of Mitigation”
Order Threat Mitigation
1st Window smashing Reinforced glass
2nd Window smashing Alarm
3rd Cut alarm wire Heartbeat signal
4th Fake heartbeat Cryptographic signal integrity
By Example:
• Thus window smashing is a first order threat, cutting
alarm wire, a third-order threat
• Easy to get stuck arguing about orders
• Are both stronger glass & alarms 1st order
mitigations? (Who cares?!)
• Focus on the concept of interplay between
mitigations & further attacks
How to Approach Software
• Depth first
18. • The most fun and “instinctual”
• Keep following threats to see where they go
• Can be useful skill development, promoting “flow”
• Breadth first
• The most conservative use of time
• Most likely to result in good coverage
Tracking Threats and Assumptions
• There are an infinite number of ways to structure this
• Use the one that works reliably for you
• (Hope doesn’t work reliably)
Example Threat Tracking Tables

• Impact is sometimes so obvious it’s not worth filling out
• Who to talk to is not always obvious, it’s ok to start out blank
• Tracking assumptions in bugs helps you not lose track
• Treat the assumption as a bug – you need to resolve it
The Customer/Vendor Boundary
• There is always a trust boundary when:
• Your code goes to someone else’s (device/premises)
• Their data comes to your code
• Lawyers, pretending do not eliminate human trust issues
• You need to think about it while deciding what happens over
the data flow shown
21. Your software
Customer device
Your software
Your data center
Generic API Threat Model
• Perform security checks inside the boundary
• Copy before validation for purpose
• Is http://evil.org/pwnme.html “valid”?
• Define the purpose for data, validate near that definition
• Manage error reporting
• Document what checks happen where
• Do crypto in constant time
• Address the security requirements for your API

Assignment 3a: Threats to the Global Environment
Due Week 9 and worth 150 points
Congratulations! The United Nations has hired you as a
consultant on global issues.
Many of the UN members are not satisfied with the progress of
the Millennium Development Goals. They believe that the
goals focus on the wrong issues. There is a disconnect between
the types of issues the developed countries in the UN
believe are priorities versus the issues that developing countries
of the UN want to prioritize. For example, the country of
Burundi has requested that one of the goals be focused on food
security. However, Austria is adamant that the major
current global issue is to mediate ceasefires within countries
experiencing a civil war.
You have been asked to provide an unbiased perspective and
identify the four issues that have the biggest impact on the
global environment.
23. Of the eight major threats listed below, choose the four that you
consider the most critical.
Energy sources Civil war
Globalization Poor health of entire populations
Lack of educational opportunities Cultural taboos
Inappropriate uses of technology Climate change
You will present your findings at the next UN General
Assembly. Your goal is to provide a brief history of each issue,
the
number of countries affected, and the effects of this threat on
the world population.

following:
1. A PowerPoint presentation containing relevant information
for the UN General Assembly on four of the
eight threats listed above.
a. The order of your slides should reflect the order of priority
you assign to the four
threats you have chosen.
2. Create a minimum of four slides per threat (for a minimum 16
slides total) on the following topics:
a. A brief history of the threat
b. The number of countries affected, and how they are affected
(giving examples)
c. The effects of this threat on the world population as a whole
24. d. Include a chart or graph (see #4 below).
3. Each of the four slides will include:
