1. Book Banning
Introduction:
· Have readers think about their favorite book, what they like
about it, and what emotions it brought for them.
· Talk about what book banning is and the popularity it has in
schools today and the way it is growing.
· Be clear that others know this about why books should not be
banned. Keep in mind that the audience is to parents or other
authority that want book banning to take place.
· Thesis: By banning books, it will inhibit children’s learning
and overall change that they can make in their community and
in the world (revise thesis as you go)
Argument 1: Books allow people to talk about real issues that
are happening in the world today and may inspire people to
formulate opinions and act on it.
· Talk about how many books in the world today discuss real
world issues like racism, abuse, conditions in the work place,
and many other instances
· Use the book The Jungle as an example of how people used
books to describe the conditions of work and food safety in the
meat packing industry. (CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
FOUNDATION ARTICLE)
· Use The Jungle to talk about how it sparked political action
from people, including the President. Use this to discuss the
different acts like “The Meat Inspection Act of 1906” and “The
Pure Food and Drug Act,”
· This formulated the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) we
have today.
· Consider adding other examples of books that helped spark an
action to fix a problem (may be racism, abuse, politics, etc).
Argument 2: By banning books, you are not just limiting your
children to something, but also limiting other people’s children
as well.
· Discuss that book banning is often done out of fear of parents

2. having their children know something they don’t want them to
know yet.
· Use the quote by The National Coalition Against Censorship
that says, “Even books or materials that many find
"objectionable" may have educational value, and the decision
about what to use in the classroom should be based on
professional judgments and standards, not individual
preferences.” (NCAC ARTCILE).
· Use this to talk about how often, books that are in the
curriculum are often picked because of the importance of the
content covered.
· Discuss that if people truly feel strongly about a certain book
because of contents that parents are not comfortable with,
religious beliefs, or anything other problem, parents can opt
their child out of reading specific books and will be given an
alternative assignment.
· This allows parents who feel very strongly about it to keep
their children from reading it without affecting children that are
not theirs. (Might not include)
Argument 3: Books help people develop different social -
emotional feelings towards different groups (Muslims, Gay
people, etc.)
· Books open in ways that can directly or indirectly express
acceptance and positive feelings about people in society.
· Example of a study done that showed the J.K Rowling series
Harry Potter.
· Books like this are often criticized for the material regarding
witchcraft and the religious concerns people may have about it.
· Further the conversation with showing how the study indicates
that those who read fiction material like this have shown to
have improved attitudes with “immigrants, homosexuals, and
refugees.” (PROCON ARTCILE).
· Try to develop other examples of studies done that have shown
people having improved or changed attitudes about specific
groups after reading certain books.
Argument 4: Books allow readers to connect with their own

3. experiences about situations that they are unfamiliar with or
unsure how to respond to.
· Jay Asher, author of 13 Reasons Why describes how books
being banned makes it more difficult for people to open about
their issues saying, “I hear from readers, and now viewers of the
Netflix show, that my work encouraged them to ask for help or
reach out to someone about the situation they’re in. When you
hear stories like that on a daily basis and then hear adults call
for your work to be banned, it’s proof of why the stigma around
these issues is so dangerous.” (PBS ARTICLE).
· Consider discussing the fact it was ranked 3rd most challenged
book of 2012
· Books like “Speak” which deal with rape can help many young
individuals who have dealt with sexual assault to open up.
· Describe the incident in which a parent whose children went to
Laurel Nokomis School in Sarasota County, which she didn’t
want her child reading the material.
· The incident went as far as calling the book a form of “child
pornography.” (NCAC ARTICLE).
Counterargument 1: Books may inspire children to start
participating in behavior that is out of their age group like using
profanity, drugs, and sexual activity.
· Books like The Thing They Carried and Glass have been
argued by parents that it inspires children to use the vulgar
language seen throughout the novels and also the
encouragement of drugs, violence and sex. (ILA ARTICLE)
· Develop more on personal experiences that parents have had
where their children participated in behaviors because of a book
they read.
Rebuttal: Studies have shown the opposite to be true; no
evidence that books have led to deviancy.
· Make a point that fourth graders in general are at that age
where mayhem is a natural occurrence.
Counterargument 2: Books may inspire people to act in a
negative way such as theft, rape, and even murder.

4. · Use an anecdote to discuss the murder of John Lennon.
· When John Lennon was murdered, his murderer Mark
Chapman had the book The Catcher in the Rye on him at the
time of the killing.
· Chapman says that he saw himself in the main character
Holden Caulfield and used the murder to level himself with
Holden’s rebellious actions.
· Chapman claimed that the main point of the novel was the
preservation of innocence, and felt that John Lennon had went
against it, therefore killing him. (AMERICAN SCHOLAR
ARTICLE)
Rebuttal: Mental health can play a huge role in murder, in
addition to books being shown to decrease this type of behavior.
(NEEDS MORE DEVELOPMENT)
· Mainly relies on anecdotes to make the case; no studies or
evidence that books have caused people to murder.
Conclusion:
· Books give people the ability to learn and get inspired about
the topics and issues that are happening in the world today.
· Overall meaning of the paper
· Give comments about all the ways in which books are a
positive aspect in learning and often prove to have more
benefits than negative outcomes.
· The “so-what” factor of this paper
· Talk about how book banning is still relevant today and many
parents are still trying to push to ban books, while many schools
are making that change.
· Encourage individuals to take action in helping books get
unbanned while also showing the true importance that books
have on learning and growth in the world.
SLP- Digital Forensics and Informational Security
For this SLP, the object is to review digital hardware tools for
performing forensic analysis of digital information in a small
organization. The tools should be able to copy the contents of a

5. hard drive, find and recover files deleted from a hard drive,
determine history of web sites visited, search a computer’s hard
drive for key words, compare contents of files on the
computer’s hard drive, copy contents of other storage devices,
and log the activities performed.
Here are some tools to evaluate:
AccessData FTK Imager
AccessData Forensic Toolkit
EnCase
ProDiscover
DFF, https://tools.kali.org/forensics/dff
Once you have explored two of the tools, answer the following
questions in 3-4 pages:
· Provide a brief description of the tool and what it is supposed
to do
· Explain how it might help forensic operations in finding
evidence for digital crimes
· Describe the possible advantages of using this tool
· Describe the possible drawbacks of using this tool
· Provide an example of its application.
