Degree endorsement is the strategy by which all social occasions (underpins, customers, clients, et cetera.) formally grasp the degree of the wander. It requires a survey of work things and results to ensure that they are done precisely and tasteful. If the analysis closes carelessly, the expansion endorsement process should see and record the level and level of satisfaction (Wortmann, J.C. 2012). Augmentation endorsement differs from quality control since it essentially incorporates affirmation of work comes to fruition, while quality control implies the rightness of activity happens. Eventual outcomes of undertaking, occasion or occasion of all or part of the result are the outcome of the execution of the wander plan. Records submitted to the endeavor thing portrayal must be available for review. The terms used to portray this record (plans, judgments, particular files, outlines, et cetera.) vary according to the application region (Wortmann, J.C. 2012).
The audit should fuse such activities as estimation, testing and testing to choose if the results meet the essentials. Examinations are differing called studies, thing reviews, surveys and walking goes; in a couple of regions of utilization, these unmistakable terms have thin and specific significance (Wortmann, J.C. 2012). A record that a customer or support has recognized that a wander or stage thing ought to be masterminded and scattered. This affirmation may be unexpected, especially toward the complete of the stage. Control overextension changes imply (a) factors that impact contrasts in the degree to ensure that the movements are useful, (b) to choose the degree of changes, and (c) to regulate genuine changes at the period of the occasion and when.
Changes inside the control go must be completely joined into other control shapes (time control, cost control, quality control) (Morris, Peter W.G. 2010). Execution reports give information about the feasibility of the degree, for instance, widely appealing thing culmination, and which are assuredly not. The execution report may moreover enable the endeavor to gathering to recollect issues that may incite issues later on (Morris, Peter W.G. 2010).A change request can occur in various structures verbal or formed, quick or underhanded, outside or internal, legally endorsed, or optional. The movements might be extended or may be allowed to restrain the degree. The structure that controls the augmentation change chooses the technique in which the degree of the endeavor can be changed.

IT Policy

What is Policy, Procedures, Guidelines & Standards ?
Policy: are principles, rules, and protocols formulated or adopted by an organization to govern its actions.
The requirements outlined in policies, are used to control and guide important organizational decisions (e.g., managerial, financial, administrative, acquisitions, contractual, programmatic, operational, technical, etc.); within the boundaries set by them
Procedures are specific instructions to be used to implement policy requirements in a specific way; they are enforceable through the policy
Guidelines are general rules, practices, and/or instructions that can be referenced to comply with policy; they are not enforceable but recommended as best practices that should be followed
Standards: refer to something that is considered by an authority or by general consent as a basis of comparison (e.g., industry, protocols, academic, etc.)
The purpose of standards is to outline agreed principles or criteria, so that their users can make reliable assumptions about a particular product, service or practice
Standards are often referenced in policies or can be used to frame a policy
Policies should have a formal lifecycle and change management process

Why IT Policy is Important
Primary reasons for IT Policy:
Protecting corporate assets (keeping systems and corporate information safe)
The policy aligns stakeholders and drives desired behaviors, actions, and provides guidance on how to do things
Only written and published policy can be used to prove the company has exercised “Due Diligence” in a court of law
There may be legal or regulatory reasons a policy must be created and published (e.g., HIPAA, FTI1075, Federal Green-Book Standard, etc.)
Enable an organization to manage business risk through defined controls that provide a benchmark for audit and corrective action
Without documented policies and procedures each and every employee and contractor will act in accordance with their own perception of acceptable use and system management will be ad-hoc and inconsistent
5
Features of good policy
Features of good policy usually include the following
Specific- Policy should be specific/definite. If it is uncertain, then the implementation will become difficult.
Clear & Understandable - Policy must be unambiguous. It should avoid use of jargons and connotations. There should be no misunderstandings in following the policy. Unclear policies can lead to indecisiveness and uncertainty in minds of those who look into it for guidance
Uniform- Policy must be uniform enough so that it can be efficiently followed by the subordinates.
Appropriate- Policy should be appropriate to the present organizational strategies and goals and address the intended policy objectives.

Prepare a workplace brief (8-10 double-spaced pages) to address a .docx
Prepare a workplace brief (8-10 double-spaced pages) to address a privacy breach that occurred in a health care organization. Include the consequences of failure to act and evidence-based recommendations for addressing the breach.
Introduction
Health care is one of the most heavily regulated major industries in the United States. Leaders are challenged to stay current and to comply with federal, state, and local laws and their associated regulations. Health care organizations are also responsible to meet industry standards. In some cases, payers equate meeting industry standards with achieving and maintaining accreditation. In fact, many payers consider accreditation a minimum condition of participation. In addition, individual licensure and certification requirements establish basic expectations for health care leaders' professional conduct.
In summary, health care leaders are responsible to:
1. Meet ethical personal, professional conduct, certification, and licensure expectations.
2. Comply with local, state, and federal health care and human resources laws.
3. Provide evidence of compliance with existing regulations and scan the field for emerging regulations.
4. Identify and meet appropriate accrediting body standards (for example, Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals standards).
As an individual’s health care leadership career advances, so does the corresponding level of accountability. Not knowing the laws or regulations is not an excuse for not complying with them.
This assessment allows you to demonstrate your knowledge of and skills relating to compliance concepts, and governmental and regulatory agencies that oversee health care service delivery, billing, and general operations. You will also have the opportunity to apply the components necessary to initiate and maintain an effective compliance program. Finally, you will consider relevant human resources laws that may pertain to your compliance recommendations.
Instructions
In this assessment, you are assuming the role of an early careerist in risk management and quality improvement at one of Vila Health's community-based hospitals. Vila Health is a medium-sized system of health operating facilities in Minnesota and Wisconsin. You are working on a team-based initiative under the supervision of the Vila Health Chief Compliance Officer. Your role is to assist in addressing a specific compliance risk regarding a breach of privacy and a potential HIPAA violation. A Vila Health employee has disclosed—without prior written authorization—a patient's protected personal health information.
Here is the information the team has collected about the privacy breach and potential HIPAA violations to date. A Vila Health supervisor instructed an employee to obtain pre-authorization for an upcoming surgical procedure for a patient.

See EPIC Privacy Issues at: http://epic.org/privacy/ See List on left and/or: EFF Privacy at https://www.eff.org/issues/privacy [see list in center on this page].
This includes sub-topics discussing information privacy, privacy laws, applications and court rulings (case law is usually an extension of the basic law based on the facts from specific cases and real-world court decisions), and key privacy and anonymity issues. While the sites provide many interesting topics, be sure to focus on our class IT topics.
1. Use the template below and the list of suggested workforce privacy topics from one of the sites above to produce a matrix to map a key organizational ethical (or personal, if not in the job force) issue and how this issue is affected by laws, regulations, and policies. Use the list of normative ethics principles below to help you complete the matrix. Choose any three (only three) of the following list of twelve (12) principles of normative ethics described below.
2. Prepare the Ethical Issue matrix and include the following explanation (200 words) —double-space your narrative—below the matrix:
1. Why I chose the dilemma;
2. Why I chose the three principles; and
3. An analysis of the research used to identify the actions in the matrix.
The completed matrix allows you to weigh the different issues involved and assign a rank as to the importance of the actions based on the effect on the stakeholders.
1. Submit the matrix for grading to the LEO Assignments Module.
2. Indicate appropriate APA in-text and source citations for all sources. In addition to critical thinking and analysis skills, your assignment should reflect appropriate grammar and spelling, good organization, and proper business-writing style.
This assignment is directly related to Paper-B2. The ethical issue identified in this assignment will be used in your Paper B2 Assignment. Paper B2 asks you to write a policy that corrects the ethical issue described in Paper B1.

What is Policy, Procedures, Guidelines & Standards ?
Policy: are principles, rules, and protocols formulated or adopted by an organization to govern its actions.
The requirements outlined in policies, are used to control and guide important organizational decisions (e.g., managerial, financial, administrative, acquisitions, contractual, programmatic, operational, technical, etc.); within the boundaries set by them
Procedures are specific instructions to be used to implement policy requirements in a specific way; they are enforceable through the policy
Guidelines are general rules, practices, and/or instructions that can be referenced to comply with policy; they are not enforceable but recommended as best practices that should be followed
Standards: refer to something that is considered by an authority or by general consent as a basis of comparison (e.g., industry, protocols, academic, etc.)
The purpose of standards is to outline agreed principles or criteria, so that their users can make reliable assumptions about a particular product, service or practice
Standards are often referenced in policies or can be used to frame a policy
Policies should have a formal lifecycle and change management process

Why IT Policy is Important
Primary reasons for IT Policy:
Protecting corporate assets (keeping systems and corporate information safe)
The policy aligns stakeholders and drives desired behaviors, actions, and provides guidance on how to do things
Only written and published policy can be used to prove the company has exercised “Due Diligence” in a court of law
There may be legal or regulatory reasons a policy must be created and published (e.g., HIPAA, FTI1075, Federal Green-Book Standard, etc.)
Enable an organization to manage business risk through defined controls that provide a benchmark for audit and corrective action
Without documented policies and procedures each and every employee and contractor will act in accordance with their own perception of acceptable use and system management will be ad-hoc and inconsistent
5
Features of good policy
Features of good policy usually include the following
Specific- Policy should be specific/definite. If it is uncertain, then the implementation will become difficult.
Clear & Understandable - Policy must be unambiguous. It should avoid use of jargons and connotations. There should be no misunderstandings in following the policy. Unclear policies can lead to indecisiveness and uncertainty in minds of those who look into it for guidance
Uniform- Policy must be uniform enough so that it can be efficiently followed by the subordinates.
Appropriate- Policy should be appropriate to the present organizational strategies and goals and address the intended policy objectives.

Prepare a workplace brief (8-10 double-spaced pages) to address a privacy breach that occurred in a health care organization. Include the consequences of failure to act and evidence-based recommendations for addressing the breach.
Introduction
Health care is one of the most heavily regulated major industries in the United States. Leaders are challenged to stay current and to comply with federal, state, and local laws and their associated regulations. Health care organizations are also responsible to meet industry standards. In some cases, payers equate meeting industry standards with achieving and maintaining accreditation. In fact, many payers consider accreditation a minimum condition of participation. In addition, individual licensure and certification requirements establish basic expectations for health care leaders' professional conduct.
In summary, health care leaders are responsible to:
1. Meet ethical personal, professional conduct, certification, and licensure expectations.
2. Comply with local, state, and federal health care and human resources laws.
3. Provide evidence of compliance with existing regulations and scan the field for emerging regulations.
4. Identify and meet appropriate accrediting body standards (for example, Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals standards).
As an individual’s health care leadership career advances, so does the corresponding level of accountability. Not knowing the laws or regulations is not an excuse for not complying with them.
This assessment allows you to demonstrate your knowledge of and skills relating to compliance concepts, and governmental and regulatory agencies that oversee health care service delivery, billing, and general operations. You will also have the opportunity to apply the components necessary to initiate and maintain an effective compliance program. Finally, you will consider relevant human resources laws that may pertain to your compliance recommendations.

Assignment 1
At the heart of democratic public administration and leadership is the goal to serve the public interest while seeking to achieve the underlying policy goals of equity, efficiency, security, and liberty. How would you integrate an understanding of the public interest into your organization? Use at least two specific examples. Make sure you define the term “public interest” in your answer. With this in mind, consider the following questions.
Sometimes critics will assail “democratic public administration” with the following remarks:
“You just can’t let employees vote on everything!”
“If you let employees have too much say, they’ll just cut back their work hours or productivity!”
“I can’t let employees have this much say because they just don’t know enough of the rationale behind our decisions!”
What would be your response to these types of critiques? Or do you agree with them?
By the due date assigned, post your response to this Discussion Area.

Unit Lesson Study Guide
In Unit 4, we will continue to discuss health behavior and its association with factors that could influence such behaviors. These types of influences are referred to as multilevel factors of behaviors, and they typically fall into five main categories:
1. individual factors,
2. inter-personal factors,
3. organizational factors,
4. community factors, and
5. policy factors
Consider the following scenario:
A 50-year-old man may purposely postpone getting a prostate cancer test because he is scared of finding out that he may have prostate cancer. This is an example of an individual- level factor. However, we need to look into this further and consider the following: his inaction might also be influenced by his primary physician’s failure to actually recommend and insist that he would need to take the prostate test. Another factor might be the difficulty of scheduling an appointment due to either unavailable equipment or the unavailability of staff at his local clinic. Another limiting factor could be that the fee for the exam is so high he cannot afford it, and his insurance does not cover this type of procedure. Thus, all these interpersonal, organizational, and policy factors are influencing this man’s behavior to not complete the prostate test. Therefore, for health promotion practitioners, it is very important to be aware of all these factors so effective change strategies or interventions can be prescribed.
One of the multilevel theories that will be discussed is the Theory of Triadic Influence (TTI). TTI behaviors arise due to one’s current social situation, general cultural environment, and their personal characteristics. Any health-related behaviors are influenced by an individual’s decisions.

Instructions
Regardless of the career that you pursue or are currently pursuing, it is likely that the action of securing the resource of friends and professional acquaintances will be as valuable as any other action you could take.
Part 1:
First, take some time to reflect on your career and/or future career. If this includes more than one career path, then focus on the one that you are most concerned with in the long term. This might include working in a specific field, starting a business, or any other pursuit you are currently working on or plan to work on in the future. The choice behind the pursuit you will focus on is a personal choice.
Write two pages on why this particular career and/or pursuit is your choice. Reflecting on the why behind your wish to achieve a goal will help to make it feel more tangible to you. This exercise of reflection should serve to remind you of your motivation and will be a good thing to refer back to if your motivation ever gets low. The "why" behind a pursuit is oftentimes more important than the "how" of a pursuit. If you have a strong enough "why," you will find the "how."
Part 2:
For the second part of this assignment, make a list of the types of people that could help you in your career and why those people would be good contacts to have. This list should be general in nature, meaning you should list professions or names of positions within companies rather than specific names.
You should list general fields or positions like accountants, attorneys, marketing managers, CEOs, etc., rather than any specific names. Be sure to list at least five professions or types of people.
Part 3:
Next, consider which social media platforms you could use to make personal contacts that could help you in your pursuit along with why and how you could use each. Ensure that the platform and your use of it line up with the specifics behind your chosen future goal.
Describe at least three different platforms you could use, along with why you would use it, and how you would use it for each of the three.
· Platform #
· Why?
· How?
· Platform #
· Why?
· How?

IHP 610 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview
IHP 610 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Healthcare is a field dominated by complex regulation, limited resources, highly charged debates, changing reimbursement, expensive education barriers to
entry, and knowledge imbalances. Healthcare decision-makers often have to review information about an issue, analyze the applicable law, and make a decision.
Those decisions are often not founded on clearly right or clearly wrong “answers.” Nonetheless, after decision makers conduct or review a policy analysis and a
legal analysis and arrive at a conclusion, they must be able to support and defend that decision. Stakeholder values are often in conflict; decision makers working
in the field of healthcare and health law have many opportunities to defend their decisions!
The final project for this course will give you an opportunity to build policy and legal analysis skills. You will choose from one of three issue prompts at the
beginning of the course. Throughout the course, you will draft a memo containing an overview and analysis of your selected issue, as well as a series of
recommendations for a healthcare executive. You will experience some of the challenges of reconciling competing values, demands for resources, and
organizational needs. Each issue prompt is based on “real world” scenarios, so take this opportunity to practice developing health law and policy analysis skills.
This final project addresses your mastery with regard to the following course outcomes:
Assess the impact of stakeholder needs on decision making for ensuring effective implementation of health law and policy
Assess the impact of current healthcare laws, policies, and financing practices on affected key stakeholders for informing policy recommendations
Determine the extent to which legal risks and potential malpractice issues influence policy decision making
Recommend appropriate strategies for resolving value conflicts among key healthcare stakeholders
Analyze the role of key stakeholders in shaping, implementing, and evaluating health law and policy for improving population health outcomes
Prompt
You will write a policy memorandum, with recommendations, paper in which you will analyze a health law and policy issue and make a series of
recommendations to a healthcare executive. At the beginning of this course, you chose one of three issue scenarios. Now, you will create each section of the
policy memorandum using the tools and strategies you developed in this course. You have developed those tools and strategies in a stepwise fashion in each
module. Remember that the purpose of the policy memorandum is to analyze the issue scenario, make thoughtful arguments about the issue, and make
recommendations based on your analysis.
Your policy memorandum with recommendations paper must contain the following critical elements. Most of the critical elements align with a particular course
outcome (shown in brackets).

UMUC
Module 2 - Methods of Ethical Analysis (see LEO Content – Readings for week 2)
describes three structured frameworks that may be used for ethical analysis, namely
Reynolds Seven-Step Approach, Kidder’s Nine Steps, and Spinello’s Seven-Step Process
.
There are several ways described in UMUC Module 2 to systematically approach an ethical dilemma
, and while each of the frameworks described has its merits, each will result in an ethical decision if straightforwardly and honestly applied.
In addition, you will want to consider the ethical theories described in
Module 1 – Introduction to Theoretical Ethical Frameworks (see LEO Content – Readings for week 1)
which help decision makers find the right balance concerning the acceptability of and justification for their actions. A separate write-up of the ethical theory that supports your decision is part of the following requirements.
For this paper, the following elements must be addressed:
Describe a current IT-related ethical issue
:
Since this is a paper exercise, not a real-time situation,
you may want to construct a brief scenario
where this issue comes into play, and thus causes an ethical dilemma. The dilemma may affect you, your family, your job, or your company; or it may be a matter of public policy or law that affects the general populace.
See the list below for a list of suggested issues, which may be a source of ethical dilemmas
.
Define a concise problem statement
that is
extracted
from the above description or scenario. It is best
if you define a specific problem caused by the dilemma, that needs a specific ethical decision to be made, that will solve the dilemma
. Be aware that if it is a matter of public policy or law, that it may require a regulatory body or congressional approval to take action to implement a solution.
Analyze your problem
using one of the structured decision-making frameworks chosen from Module 2.
Make sure that you identify the decision-making framework utilized. In addition, the steps in the decision-making framework selected must be used as major headings in the Analysis section.

IT 659 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric
In Milestone Three you will submit the Recommendations and Global Considerations portion of the final project. The purpose of this assignment is to suggest
relevant changes to the organization itself and changes to the ethical guidelines that could have prevented the incident.
Prompt: Suggest relevant changes to the organization itself and changes to the ethical guidelines that could have prevented the incident. Standards external to
the organization that may have helped prevent the incident should also be proposed. This assignment will also address international compliance standards and
how they would have been relevant to the incident. The impact of the incident on global communication and commerce will be analyzed, as well as the impact on
the global technology environment.
Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:
IV. Recommendations
a) Propose relevant changes to the organization that may have prevented the incident. How would these changes have helped to prevent the
occurrence?
b) Propose reasonable ethical guidelines that could have helped prevent the incident and that might help the organization prevent future incidents.
Propose changes to the standards external to the organization that might have helped prevent the incident. This can include changes to
regulations and regulatory and ethical standards that might exist today but did not exist or were not properly delivered at the time of the
incident. Be sure to support your conclusions.
V. Global Considerations
a) What international compliance standards (either at the time of the incident or today) would have been relevant to the incident, and how? If your
company is not global, imagine that is.

Online Policies for Enabling Financial Companies to Manage Privacy Issues
NAME:
Course:
1
Introduction
Companies in the financial sector handle data that are priority for hackers.
Organizations invest in vast technologies for protecting the data from unauthorized access.
However, they do not adequately invest in behavioral measures for safeguarding the data.
Companies in the financial sector face numerous attempts by the cybercriminals who target stealing data stored in the systems. The corporations handle confidential data that could be used for committing crimes, such as impersonation and illegal transfer of money (Noor & Hassan, 2019). It is a major concern whether financial institutions have effective policies that ensure the data are properly secured from both internal and external threats. Financial companies, especially those that spread across the country have always focused on investing in technologies that promote the privacy of the data and the systems. They are deploying technologies, such as cloud computing, which promote the privacy of the data. Also, they use Bcrypt technologies to encrypt data via algorithms that will take hackers decades to decrypt a single password. Though they invest in such technologies that cost millions of dollars, there are questions whether they invest in behavioral measures to protect the data systems (Noor & Hassan, 2019). Such measures require the use of online policies that will ensure that internal and the external users can adhere to best practices that make them less vulnerable to attacks, especially the social engineering attacks that target unsuspecting users.
2
Literature Review
Financial companies have implemented policies for promoting desirable user behaviors.
They provide guidelines on how to use the networks.
They do not require the users to follow strict rules, which indicates the inefficiency of the policies.
Financial companies have implemented policies on how customers access their data remotely. Such policies outline the standards that customers must follow such as the multi-factor authentication, which aims at ensuring that no unauthorized users access the data (Suchitra &Vandana, 2016). The policies are communicated to the customers when they provide their data. It is an effective approach that mainly ensures that customer must follow certain guidelines that promote the overall security of the data. However, Timothy Toohey (2014) questions whether the policies apply to the side of the users who are very likely to exhibit behaviors that expose data to threats. For instance, the customers may use devices that have weak antimalware tools. Such devices create an avenue that a hacker can use and access the system.

Paper A: Application of a decision making framework to an IT-related ethical issue.
For this assignment, you are given an opportunity to explore and apply a decision making framework to an IT-related ethical issue.
A framework provides a methodical and systematic approach for decision making
.
UMUC
Module 2 - Methods of Ethical Analysis (see LEO Content – Readings for week 2)
describes three structured frameworks that may be used for ethical analysis, namely
Reynolds Seven-Step Approach, Kidder’s Nine Steps, and Spinello’s Seven-Step Process
.
There are several ways described in UMUC Module 2 to systematically approach an ethical dilemma
, and while each of the frameworks described has its merits, each will result in an ethical decision if straightforwardly and honestly applied.
In addition, you will want to consider the ethical theories described in
Module 1 – Introduction to Theoretical Ethical Frameworks (see LEO Content – Readings for week 1)
which help decision makers find the right balance concerning the acceptability of and justification for their actions. A separate write-up of the ethical theory that supports your decision is part of the following requirements.
For this paper, the following elements must be addressed:
Describe a current IT-related ethical issue
:
Since this is a paper exercise, not a real-time situation,
you may want to construct a brief scenario
where this issue comes into play, and thus causes an ethical dilemma. The dilemma may affect you, your family, your job, or your company; or it may be a matter of public policy or law that affects the general populace.
See the list below for a list of suggested issues, which may be a source of ethical dilemmas
.
Define a concise problem statement
that is
extracted
from the above description or scenario. It is best
if you define a specific problem caused by the dilemma, that needs a specific ethical decision to be made, that will solve the dilemma
. Be aware that if it is a matter of public policy or law, that it may require a regulatory body or congressional approval to take action to implement a solution.
Analyze your problem
using one of the structured decision-making frameworks chosen from Module 2.
Make sure that you identify the decision-making framework utilized. In addition, the steps in the decision-making framework selected must be used as major headings in the Analysis section.
Consider and state the impact of the decision that you made
on an individual, an organization, stakeholders, customers suppliers, and the environment, as applicable!
State and discuss the applicable ethical theory
from Module 1
that supports your decision.
Concerning your paper:

Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a functional information assurance plan.
The effective management of information and protection of pertinent data is essential for leveraging the required knowledge to serve customers and
stakeholders on a continuous basis. Employing information assurance best practices will ensure a firm is able to eliminate hierarchical structures, become more
flat, and have greater customer touch points by leveraging the correct information at the right time. Successful firms will maintain an established information
assurance plan and posture that are reviewed on a weekly basis.
This assessment will consist of the creation of a functional information assurance plan. You will review a real-world business scenario in order to apply
information assurance research and incorporate industry best practices to your recommendations for specific strategic and tactical steps. These skills are crucial
for you to become a desired asset to organizations seeking industry professionals in the information assurance field.
The project is divided into four milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Four, Five, and Seven. The final product will be submitted in Module Nine.

Student Response #1 – Shannon
During the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572, more than 13,000 French Protestants (Huguenots) were killed because of their religious beliefs. Based on the information in our textbook and any other research you might do, who do you think was most responsible for the religious tensions getting out of control and erupting into widespread bloodshed? Why?
Based on the information in our text books, I believe that both the Catholics and the Calvinists brought the religious tensions on themselves. With the birth of new religions on the rise there then became a power struggle among the religions. The Protestant Reformation that began set the way for religious extremism. " The agreement helped maintain a relative calm in the lands of the Holy Roman Empire by granting each ruler the right to determine the religion of his territory" (Hunt, p483) This opened the doors for many religious disputes to follow as the years went on. Each war started as a religious dispute but went on to reveal other motives, like political gains, power and greed. As time went on and religion began to spread and more and more people began to covert, there became major power struggles. When the bloodshed began with the Protestants and the Catholics not too much was solved after that, during the bloodshed, Catholic mobs killed over 3000 Huguenots in Paris. These wars about religion have simply paved the way through the years for more conflict regarding religion. I can t just blame one party and pick it to be responsible , i think all parties played a role in the tension caused by religion, each person wanted to believe in what they believed in and didn’t feel like it should have to be mandated.

Unit Lesson Study Guide
In Unit 4, we will continue to discuss health behavior and its association with factors that could influence such behaviors. These types of influences are referred to as multilevel factors of behaviors, and they typically fall into five main categories:
1. individual factors,
2. inter-personal factors,
3. organizational factors,
4. community factors, and
5. policy factors
Consider the following scenario:
A 50-year-old man may purposely postpone getting a prostate cancer test because he is scared of finding out that he may have prostate cancer. This is an example of an individual- level factor. However, we need to look into this further and consider the following: his inaction might also be influenced by his primary physician’s failure to actually recommend and insist that he would need to take the prostate test. Another factor might be the difficulty of scheduling an appointment due to either unavailable equipment or the unavailability of staff at his local clinic. Another limiting factor could be that the fee for the exam is so high he cannot afford it, and his insurance does not cover this type of procedure. Thus, all these interpersonal, organizational, and policy factors are influencing this man’s behavior to not complete the prostate test. Therefore, for health promotion practitioners, it is very important to be aware of all these factors so effective change strategies or interventions can be prescribed.
One of the multilevel theories that will be discussed is the Theory of Triadic Influence (TTI). TTI behaviors arise due to one’s current social situation, general cultural environment, and their personal characteristics. Any health-related behaviors are influenced by an individual’s decisions.

Regardless of the career that you pursue or are currently pursuing, it is likely that the action of securing the resource of friends and professional acquaintances will be as valuable as any other action you could take.
Part 1:
First, take some time to reflect on your career and/or future career. If this includes more than one career path, then focus on the one that you are most concerned with in the long term. This might include working in a specific field, starting a business, or any other pursuit you are currently working on or plan to work on in the future. The choice behind the pursuit you will focus on is a personal choice.
Write two pages on why this particular career and/or pursuit is your choice. Reflecting on the why behind your wish to achieve a goal will help to make it feel more tangible to you. This exercise of reflection should serve to remind you of your motivation and will be a good thing to refer back to if your motivation ever gets low. The "why" behind a pursuit is oftentimes more important than the "how" of a pursuit. If you have a strong enough "why," you will find the "how."
Part 2:
For the second part of this assignment, make a list of the types of people that could help you in your career and why those people would be good contacts to have. This list should be general in nature, meaning you should list professions or names of positions within companies rather than specific names.
You should list general fields or positions like accountants, attorneys, marketing managers, CEOs, etc., rather than any specific names. Be sure to list at least five professions or types of people.
Part 3:
Next, consider which social media platforms you could use to make personal contacts that could help you in your pursuit along with why and how you could use each. Ensure that the platform and your use of it line up with the specifics behind your chosen future goal.
Describe at least three different platforms you could use, along with why you would use it, and how you would use it for each of the three.

IHP 610 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview
IHP 610 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Healthcare is a field dominated by complex regulation, limited resources, highly charged debates, changing reimbursement, expensive education barriers to
entry, and knowledge imbalances. Healthcare decision-makers often have to review information about an issue, analyze the applicable law, and make a decision.
Those decisions are often not founded on clearly right or clearly wrong “answers.” Nonetheless, after decision makers conduct or review a policy analysis and a
legal analysis and arrive at a conclusion, they must be able to support and defend that decision. Stakeholder values are often in conflict; decision makers working
in the field of healthcare and health law have many opportunities to defend their decisions!
The final project for this course will give you an opportunity to build policy and legal analysis skills. You will choose from one of three issue prompts at the
beginning of the course. Throughout the course, you will draft a memo containing an overview and analysis of your selected issue, as well as a series of
recommendations for a healthcare executive. You will experience some of the challenges of reconciling competing values, demands for resources, and
organizational needs. Each issue prompt is based on “real world” scenarios, so take this opportunity to practice developing health law and policy analysis skills.
This final project addresses your mastery with regard to the following course outcomes:
Assess the impact of stakeholder needs on decision making for ensuring effective implementation of health law and policy
Assess the impact of current healthcare laws, policies, and financing practices on affected key stakeholders for informing policy recommendations
Determine the extent to which legal risks and potential malpractice issues influence policy decision making
Recommend appropriate strategies for resolving value conflicts among key healthcare stakeholders
Analyze the role of key stakeholders in shaping, implementing, and evaluating health law and policy for improving population health outcomes
Prompt
You will write a policy memorandum, with recommendations, paper in which you will analyze a health law and policy issue and make a series of
recommendations to a healthcare executive. At the beginning of this course, you chose one of three issue scenarios. Now, you will create each section of the
policy memorandum using the tools and strategies you developed in this course. You have developed those tools and strategies in a stepwise fashion in each
module. Remember that the purpose of the policy memorandum is to analyze the issue scenario, make thoughtful arguments about the issue, and make
recommendations based on your analysis.
Your policy memorandum with recommendations paper must contain the following critical elements. Most of the critical elements align with a particular course
outcome (shown in brackets).

Paper A: Application of a decision making framework to an IT-related ethical issue.
This assignment is an opportunity to explore and apply a decision making framework to an IT-related ethical issue.
A framework provides a methodical and systematic approach for decision making
.
Module 2 - Methods of Ethical Analysis (see LEO Content – Readings for week 2)
describes three structured frameworks that may be used for ethical analysis, namely
Reynolds Seven-Step Approach, Kidder’s Nine Steps, and Spinello’s Seven-Step Process
.
There are several ways described in UMGC Module 2 to systematically approach an ethical dilemma
, and while each of the frameworks described has its merits, each will result in an ethical decision if straightforwardly, objectively, and honestly applied.
In addition, consider the ethical theories described in
– Introduction to Theoretical Ethical Frameworks (see LEO Content – Readings for week 1)
which help decision makers find the right balance concerning the acceptability of and justification for their actions.
A separate write-up of the ethical theory that supports your decision is part of the following requirements
.
For this paper, the following five elements must be addressed:
Describe a current IT-related ethical issue
:
Since this is a paper exercise, not a real-time situation,
you may want to construct a brief scenario
where this issue comes into play, and thus causes an ethical dilemma. The dilemma may affect you, your family, your job, or your company; or it may be a matter of public policy or law that affects the general populace.
See the list below for a list of suggested issues, which may be a source of ethical dilemmas
.
Define a concise problem statement
that is
extracted
from the above description or scenario. It is best
if you define a specific problem caused by the dilemma, that needs a specific ethical decision to be made, that will solve the dilemma
. Be aware that if it is a matter of public policy or law, that it may require a regulatory body or congressional approval to take action to implement a solution.
Analyze your problem
using one of the structured decision-making frameworks chosen from Module 2.
Make sure that you identify the decision-making framework utilized. In addition, the steps in the decision-making framework selected must be used as major headings in the Analysis section.
Consider and state the impact of the decision that you made
on an individual, an organization, stakeholders, customers suppliers, and the environment, as applicable!
State and discuss the applicable ethical theory
from Module 1
that supports your decision.

IT 659 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric
In Milestone Three you will submit the Recommendations and Global Considerations portion of the final project. The purpose of this assignment is to suggest
relevant changes to the organization itself and changes to the ethical guidelines that could have prevented the incident.
Prompt: Suggest relevant changes to the organization itself and changes to the ethical guidelines that could have prevented the incident. Standards external to
the organization that may have helped prevent the incident should also be proposed. This assignment will also address international compliance standards and
how they would have been relevant to the incident. The impact of the incident on global communication and commerce will be analyzed, as well as the impact on
the global technology environment.
Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:
IV. Recommendations
a) Propose relevant changes to the organization that may have prevented the incident. How would these changes have helped to prevent the
occurrence?
b) Propose reasonable ethical guidelines that could have helped prevent the incident and that might help the organization prevent future incidents.
Propose changes to the standards external to the organization that might have helped prevent the incident. This can include changes to
regulations and regulatory and ethical standards that might exist today but did not exist or were not properly delivered at the time of the
incident. Be sure to support your conclusions.
V. Global Considerations
a) What international compliance standards (either at the time of the incident or today) would have been relevant to the incident, and how? If your
company is not global, imagine that is.
b) Analyze the impact of the incident on global communication and commerce (again, if your organization is not global, imagine otherwise). In
other words, what impact did (or would) the incident have on views and use of information technology and communication in global contexts?
c) Global Technology Environment: Based on your research and analysis of this case, determine the global legal and regulatory impacts this case
had on the information technology overall. In other words, determine the relationship between this case and the global regulatory standards
that are now in place, will be put in place shortly, or should be put in place as a result of this or related incident(s).

Online Policies for Enabling Financial Companies to Manage Privacy Issues
NAME:
Course:
1
Introduction
Companies in the financial sector handle data that are priority for hackers.
Organizations invest in vast technologies for protecting the data from unauthorized access.
However, they do not adequately invest in behavioral measures for safeguarding the data.
Companies in the financial sector face numerous attempts by the cybercriminals who target stealing data stored in the systems. The corporations handle confidential data that could be used for committing crimes, such as impersonation and illegal transfer of money (Noor & Hassan, 2019). It is a major concern whether financial institutions have effective policies that ensure the data are properly secured from both internal and external threats. Financial companies, especially those that spread across the country have always focused on investing in technologies that promote the privacy of the data and the systems. They are deploying technologies, such as cloud computing, which promote the privacy of the data. Also, they use Bcrypt technologies to encrypt data via algorithms that will take hackers decades to decrypt a single password. Though they invest in such technologies that cost millions of dollars, there are questions whether they invest in behavioral measures to protect the data systems (Noor & Hassan, 2019). Such measures require the use of online policies that will ensure that internal and the external users can adhere to best practices that make them less vulnerable to attacks, especially the social engineering attacks that target unsuspecting users.
2
Literature Review
Financial companies have implemented policies for promoting desirable user behaviors.
They provide guidelines on how to use the networks.
They do not require the users to follow strict rules, which indicates the inefficiency of the policies.
Financial companies have implemented policies on how customers access their data remotely. Such policies outline the standards that customers must follow such as the multi-factor authentication, which aims at ensuring that no unauthorized users access the data (Suchitra &Vandana, 2016). The policies are communicated to the customers when they provide their data. It is an effective approach that mainly ensures that customer must follow certain guidelines that promote the overall security of the data. However, Timothy Toohey (2014) questions whether the policies apply to the side of the users who are very likely to exhibit behaviors that expose data to threats. For instance, the customers may use devices that have weak antimalware tools. Such devices create an avenue that a hacker can use and access the system.

Research Method
The researcher will employ a case-study design.
It means that the researcher will focus on individual cases and analyze them.
Interviews and observation will be the primary tools of data.

Student Response #1 – Shannon
During the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572, more than 13,000 French Protestants (Huguenots) were killed because of their religious beliefs. Based on the information in our textbook and any other research you might do, who do you think was most responsible for the religious tensions getting out of control and erupting into widespread bloodshed? Why?
Based on the information in our text books, I believe that both the Catholics and the Calvinists brought the religious tensions on themselves. With the birth of new religions on the rise there then became a power struggle among the religions. The Protestant Reformation that began set the way for religious extremism. " The agreement helped maintain a relative calm in the lands of the Holy Roman Empire by granting each ruler the right to determine the religion of his territory" (Hunt, p483) This opened the doors for many religious disputes to follow as the years went on. Each war started as a religious dispute but went on to reveal other motives, like political gains, power and greed. As time went on and religion began to spread and more and more people began to covert, there became major power struggles. When the bloodshed began with the Protestants and the Catholics not too much was solved after that, during the bloodshed, Catholic mobs killed over 3000 Huguenots in Paris. These wars about religion have simply paved the way through the years for more conflict regarding religion. I can t just blame one party and pick it to be responsible , i think all parties played a role in the tension caused by religion, each person wanted to believe in what they believed in and didn’t feel like it should have to be mandated.

The governing board of Religious hired a consulting company to evaluate its strategic performance. As part of the consultant’s evaluation, several leaders of Religious’ units were asked their perspective of the organization’s performance.
You are working for the consultant. Your job is to identify the issues from the response that should be considered further by the consultant team and possibly discussed with the governing board and the CEO. The firm has a rule, “Never offer a criticism or negative finding without suggesting how the client organization can correct it,” so you must indicate what sort of correction would be recommended as part of your list. Because you know there were about two dozen other interviews, you decide you should rank your issues in importance, to make sure the most critical are discussed.
Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:
Describe the five (5) important elements of the governing board’ s agenda for areas of improvement in core functions.
Many organizations now use a balanced scorecard or multiple dimensions of performance measurement, such as productivity, profit, market trends, quality, patient satisfaction, and worker satisfaction. Describe three (3) key performance dimensions (other than those mentioned here) and include specific measures that Religious Health Care could use to improve overall institutional performance.
Determine the performance measures Religious Health Care could use to evaluate nursing staff performance in its Emergency Room. Explain the rationale for each performance measure.
Suggest the steps that should be taken next by Religious Health Care to get better at managing specific patient groups. Explain the rationale for each step.
Decide what strategies Religious Health Care could implement to enhance its public image and increase market share. Explain the rationale for each strategy.
Describe two (2) technology-based data-collection strategie.

Week 8 -- Provide an example of some form of misrepresentation in me.docx
Week 8 -- Provide an example of some form of misrepresentation in media over the years (includes: staging news, re-creations, selective editing and fictional methods). Give some background for context and answer; why, in your opinion is this an example of misrepresentation and why is it egregious? Provide the link to the example.
Additionally for the Week 8 discussion, consider media bias. Both conservative and liberal sides claim that there is media bias (to the other side of their beliefs) yet, it is evident that there is bias on both sides. It is no secret that the traditional views of the following 3 media outlets are as follows: Fox News--Conservative/Right, MSNBC--Liberal/Left, CNN--Moderate. A) Track a relatively current news story and report to the class the way the 3 media outlets presented the story. Were there surprises to you in your findings? B) Also pick one additional media outlet of your choice (perhaps NPR, AL JAZEERA , or BBC) and look at their perspective of the same story. Please comment on at least 3 of your classmates' postings with questions or thoughtful, respectful, thorough responses.

To study the effectiveness of treatments for insomnia, a sleep researcher conducted a study with 12 participants.
Four participants were instructed to count sheep (Sheep Condition), four were told to concentrate on their breathing (Breathing Condition), and four were not given any special instructions. Over the next few days, measures were taken of how many minutes it took each participant to fall asleep. The average times for the participants in the Sheep Condition were 14, 28, 27, and 31; for those in the Breathing Condition, 25, 22, 17, and 14; and for those in the control condition, 45, 33, 30, and 41.

Week 7 Exercise Prosocial BehaviorMuch of what we tend to focus.docx
Week 7 Exercise: Prosocial Behavior
Much of what we tend to focus on when we study social psychology are topics that often have a negative connotation such as conformity, prejudice, aggression or obedience. A huge component of the study of social psychology; however, focuses on prosocial behavior – behaviors that focus on compassion and helping others. For this activity, you will focus on this more uplifting aspect of social psychology. Topics that fall under the area of prosocial behavior include altruism, helping, bystander intervention, empathy, and compassion, among others.
For this exercise, pick one day and seek to structure your thoughts and behaviors entirely around helping others. With each interaction or action you take, pause to think and ask yourself "is there a way I might help another here?" Hold a door for someone, offer your seat, share a smile, give a sincere compliment, show empathy to another, attempt to be more patient or understanding, etc. Your efforts should be in social settings that involve interactions with others (rather than something such as donating to a charity for instance). The goal is to be as thoughtfully prosocial in your interactions throughout the day as possible.
At the beginning of the day, jot down your general mood, feelings, attitude, etc.
Then throughout the day, whenever possible, carry a small notebook with you or make notes in an app on your phone to jot down meaningful encounters or experiences as you attempt to engage in prosocial behaviors.
At the end of the day, again reflect and take notes on how you feel, your general mood, feelings and attitudes, etc.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are unable to engage in prosocial behavior outside of your home due to COVID-19 restrictions/precautions, you are encouraged to engage in such behaviors with your family/people with whom you are sheltering.
You may also engage in prosocial behavior with others virtually or through other means (e.g., through video calls, emails, etc...). This assignment will be more meaningful if you are able to engage in-person with acquaintances or strangers, but you can still find ways to make a significant difference to others even if quarantined or sheltering in place.
In a 5-7 slide PowerPoint presentation, not counting title or reference slides:
Summarize your experience. Describe the prosocial behaviors you engaged in, others' reactions to these behaviors, and your assessment of any changes in mood, attitude, good fortune, or anything else of note you experienced.
Review what you have learned about human behavior in social settings this week in your readings. Connect what you learned or experienced through your day of conscious, prosocial behavior with the terms, concepts, and theories from your research. Integrate at least two academic sources (your assigned readings/resources can comprise one of these sources), citing any references used in APA format.
Describe any new insights you gained through this exper.

Week Lecture - Evaluating the Quality of Financial ReportsThe coll.docx
Week Lecture - Evaluating the Quality of Financial Reports
The collapse of Enron in the early 2000s, which was a result of massive financial manipulation, gave rise to a new era of financial reporting supervision with the establishment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in 2002. The Act required all executives to give certified and accurate financial information. Various mechanisms were put in place to reduce financial accounting irregularities (Cunningham, 2005). Managers are therefore required to have a clear understanding of the regulations put in place and the bodies which enforce them in order to conform with them accordingly.
Issuance of financial reports and sale of securities to the public is monitored by such organizations as:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FIRA)
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has developed the financial accounting standards to be used in the U.S. since 1973. Its function is to oversee the preparation of financial reports by non-governmental entities. FASB ensures that financial statements contain information relevant for sound decision making. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been charged with the statutory authority of establishing reporting standards for U.S. public companies. Although it does not develop the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), it has power to monitor financial reporting. The SEC seeks its authority from three security laws: The Securities Act of 1933 (SEC, 2012b), The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (SEC, 2012c), The Investment Company Act of 1940 (SEC, 2012a), The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SEC, 2005), and The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (SEC, 2014).
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FIRA) regulates securities firms conducting business with the public in the U.S. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) develops and Publishes International Financial Reporting Standards through the help of its 15-full time members from different countries working with stakeholders all over the world.
The usefulness of financial reports to readers depends on report quality. The conceptual framework for financial reporting categorizes qualitative characteristics of financial reports into two broad categories: fundamental qualitative characteristics, which include relevance and faithful representation, and enhancing qualitative characteristics, which make financial reports more useful and include comparability, timeliness, verifiability, and understandability. Presentation of financial reporting is limited by materiality and cost constraints. There exist differences in U.S. reporting requirements and the international requirements, although efforts have been undertaken to congregate the U.S. GAAP rules with the international financial reporting rules (Oxford Analytica, 2009). Differences in U.S. reporting req.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
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.

McMahon IFSM304 7982 Professor David Copeman April 2, 2017 Table of Contents Matrix Mapping 3 Matrix Explanation 4 References 5 Matrix Mapping Ethical Issues: Location Privacy Stakeholders Autonomy Confidentiality Respect for persons 1. Self One should make the decision to enable or disable location services on their devices. Users have a choice of giving out their location data or choosing to keep the data a secret.
- 7. As a person, I should not install applications or initiate procedures which can collect other people’s location data because it can compromise their privacy, security, human rights and freedoms. 2. Phone Manufacturers Phone manufacturers should allow for users to be able to switch on or off their location services on their devices. Phone manufacturers should keep user location data private since its exposure could lead to the users of devices being exposed to possible risks, such as, being stalked. Phone manufacturers should have protections for users against their location data being stolen or tracked by unauthorized applications. Users should be able to control which applications have access to their location data. 3. Mobile Service Providers Mobile service providers should let device users decide whether they want their location data collected or not (Michael et al., 2008). Mobile service providers should not collect user location data for marketing purposes. Mobile service providers should only use the data upon request of the user and/or by federal laws. Mobile service providers need to protect user’s location data from being accessed by authorized personnel. 4. Government The government should respect autonomy of device users and should let users decide whether they want their location data collected or used in any way. The government should not collect user location data without user consent. The government should not collect data from individuals without their consent unless it is in response to national or international security issues and backed by federal laws.Matrix Explanation I chose this dilemma because most technological devices currently have location services enabled on them. When using an application that prompts for the enabling of location
- 8. services, my lack of trust and confidence in government and big corporations causes me not to enable the location service. In addition, I do not enable location services because I have no idea how the information is stored, as well as, who has access to the information. The three principles I chose are closely tailored and are geared towards the protection of an individual and their rights. The principles vouch for an individual to be able to make their own decisions without external parties influencing or controlling how the decisions are made. The principles are important in reinforcing ethics pertaining to the collection, storage, and dissemination of the user’s location data. The three principles play an important role when creating safeguards for users of technological devices. These safeguards ensure various privacy protection laws against unlawful access, collection, and use of the user’s location data. In addition, the principles give insight into ethical values that can be used as a tool to guide manufacturers, service providers, government, and individuals on making better decisions that do not go against ethics and/or compromise the safety of their users (Michael et al., 2008).
