INTRODUCTION
In 1883, the importance of intellectual property was recognized for first time in the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property followed by the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works in 1886. Nowadays, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and to be more specific Article 27, protects the intellectual property rights that a creator or an owner of a patent or copyright has on his/her own work or investment (“What is intellectual property?” n.d.).
It is true to say that countries realized that intellectual property is a powerful tool for economic development and social and cultural welfare. Furthermore, countries wanted to promote creativity and invention especially when the interests of the innovator are the same as those of the public interest. As a result, countries created laws to protect intellectual property.
Moreover, each of us should promote intellectual property rights because of the benefits we join. For example, with the patent system an inventor of a new and highly effective drug for cancer will continue his/her research in order to produce a better and more efficient product. The results of this invention will benefit the members of the society with several ways. Patients will have more possibilities of being cured and the inventor will be rewarded for his creativity.
Intellectual property refers to the intangible property, such as patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade dress, which belong to a person or a company. To be more specific, it refers to the creations of the mind like: symbols, inventions, artistic works, literary, and images (“Introduction to intellectual property: theory and practice” (1997).
General speaking, intellectual property is divided into two categories:
1. Patent or industrial property, which includes trademarks, inventions, industrial designs, and geographic indications of source; and
2. Copyright, which includes literary and artistic works, such as poems, paintings, plays, films, musical works, novels, drawings, photographs, architectural designs, and sculptures (“What is intellectual property” n.d.).
Moreover, a patent for an invention is an exclusive right granted to the inventor, issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. A patent provides protection for the invention to the owner of the patent for a limited period, generally 20 years from the date the application for the patent was filed in the United States and the maintenance fees were paid. Moreover, U.S. patent grants are effective only within the United States, U.S. territories, and U.S. possessions. Patent protection means that the invention cannot be commercially made, used, distributed, or sold without the patent owner’s consent. Furthermore, a patent owner can sell the right of the invention to someone else, who will become the new owner of the patent. When a patent expires the protection ends, and as a result, the invention becomes available to commercial exploitation by others (“What is a patent?” 2005).
Also, there are several types of patents but the most common are three:
1. Utility or function patents, such as a process, machine, article of manufacture, or composition of matter,
2. Design patents, such as a new, original, and ornamental design for an article of manufacture; and
3. Plant patents, such as a distinct and new variety of plant (“What is patent? n.d).
Furthermore, the purpose of copyrights is to protect the expression of ideas. In other words, it protects the rights of the authors and creators in any field, such as literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works, both published and unpublished. As Jennings M. (2006), states: “A copyright gives the holder of the copyright the exclusive right to sell, control, or license the copyrighted work.” (p. 624)
According to the Section 106 of the 1976 Copyright Act, the holder

Let’s Get Social!
Discussion Title
Prepare: There is no shortage of social media platforms that exist for us to communicate directly and indirectly with each other. For this assignment, we will focus on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. This discussion requires that you establish an account for each of the platforms. If you already have one, create a separate one specifically for this assignment so you can share your links with others in the class. If you are a Journalism and Mass Communication major, your profile will be used in other courses as you progress through the program. You will also need to read the following about these forms of social media:
· Facebook 101
· Anatomy of a Tweet
· About YouTube
·
Reflect: Once you have established your social media presences, reflect on the following questions:
· Was the setup straightforward?
· How much personal information did you have to provide?
· How do you perceive the usefulness of each platform on a personal and professional level?
·
Write: Now that you have critically thought about the process of setting up and using these social media platforms, write a 200- to 250-word blog post about your experience with setting them up. In your post, you must include at least one credible source of information that is related to at least one of the questions to support your ideas. Include a byline at the beginning of your blog post. At the end of your blog, include a full reference for all sources cited in the body of your blog. All citations and references must adhere to APA style guidelines as outlined in theAshford Writing Center. View theFormatting Stories and Blogs document for assistance with formatting your blog.
Check It! Your blog must be submitted throughGrammarly prior to submission.
Respond to Peers: After you have written your blog, read the blogs of your peers and post a comment to at least three other bloggers about their experiences in setting up and using their social media presences. Your comments should address them by name, be between 50 and 75 words in length, and must include your name at the end of each response.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
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.
