Overview Every organization must consider the mandatory and reco.docxalfred4lewis58146
Overview
Every organization must consider the mandatory and recommended practices when creating its information security program and/or security policies. Legislative documents such as FISMA are mandatory, yet standards documents such as FIPS 200 can also be mandatory. The selected organization used one or more standard when creating its information security program. For this project, you will identify a standard used by your organization in its information security program, then compare and contrast with another similar standard.
Learning Objectives
After completing this project, students will be able to:
1. Identify recognized US Standards Organizations
2. Describe at least two technical standards
3. Compare and contrast technical standards for information systems security technologies.
4. Describe how the technical standards impact the selected organizations' information security programs
Deliverable
Your research paper should be at least three (3), full pages, double spaced, 1-inch margins, in New Times Roman 12-pitch font, with a cover page (name, course number, date, title of paper) and a reference page. The cover page and reference page are not included in the three-page minimum. Papers not meeting the three full-page minimum will lose points. You must have at least three scholarly sources, correctly formatted per APA guidelines. Submit your research paper to the appropriate TurnItIn assignment area by the due date.
Detailed Description of Learning Activity
1. Review your organization's information security program documentation and determine what standard(s) the organization used to create the program.
2. Pick one of the following three standard options for your comparison:
FIPS 200 and ISO 27002
FIPS 140-2 and ISO 19790
DES/3DES/AES (if you select this option you must compare all three standards against each other)
3. Select three (3) to five (5) points of analysis (POAs) from the FIPS 200, FIPS 140-2, or AES standard.
4. Find the equivalent POA in the ISO 27002, ISO 19790, or 3DES/DES standard respectively.
5. Write your research paper. At a minimum, the paper should include
an Introduction that includes the purpose of your paper, introduces the organization, and explains why you selected the standards you are researching
a Standards section that describes from a general standpoint, the two standards you selected for the paper
a Points of Analysis section that describes your three to five points, from a general standpoint
a Compare and Contrast section explaining the diffrences between the two standards, using details and specifics
Use spell and grammar check before submitting. It is also a good idea to have someone else read your paper.
Submit the project to TurnItIn by the due date. Put your Turnitin score on the cover page. It cannot exceed 20%
6. Examples of POAs:
Cryptographic Key Management (FIPS 140-2)

Due Date: Oct 20, 2015 23:59:59 Max Points: 145
Details:
Doctoral researchers must be able to manage statistical data in order to draw conclusions about the data from a research study. This assignment will allow you to practice your skills in working with standard deviation, hypotheses, and standard error.
General Requirements:
Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:
· Read each segment of this assignment carefully. There is information in the segment that will guide your completion.
· Instructors will be using a grading rubric to grade the assignments. It is recommended that learners review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment in order to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment.
· Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.
· This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included.
Directions:
In an essay of 250-500 words, thoroughly address the following items and respond to the related questions:
1. Define the term standard deviation. Why is it important to know the standard deviation for a given sample? What do researchers learn about a normal distribution from knowledge of the standard deviation? A sample of n=20 has a mean of M = 40. If the standard deviation is s=5, would a score of X= 55 be considered an extreme value? Why or why not?
2. Hypothesis testing allows researchers to use sample data, taken from a larger population, to draw inferences (i.e., conclusions) about the population from which the sample came. Hypothesis testing is one of the most commonly used inferential procedures. Define and thoroughly explain the terms null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis. How are they used in hypothesis testing?
3. Define the term standard error. Why is the standard error important in research using sample distributions? Consider the following scenario: A random sample obtained from a population has a mean of µ=100 and a standard deviation of σ = 20. The error between the sample mean and the population mean for a sample of n = 16 is 5 points and the error between a sample men and population mean for a sample of n = 100 is 2 points. Explain the difference in the standard error for the two samples.
Rubric-
The term standard deviation is defined correctly in a thorough manner. All of the follow-up questions are correctly answered in a thorough manner.
The terms null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis are defined correctly and thoroughly. The application of these terms to hypothesis testing is thorough and indicative of deep understanding of the concepts.
The term standard error is defined correctly in a thorough manner. All of the follow-up ques.

Course Project Outline with Title and References Pages Assignment Instructions
In Week 3 you began the process of developing your Course Project by brainstorming a list of people who are leaders somehow related to your field of study and who might be good role models for you in your quest to become a leader in your career field. By this point you should have selected a role-model leader. Now you are ready to start gathering information and putting together your actual Course Project (due Week 8).
You will need to do some real research to gather information on the required elements as we explore the topic of leadership. Using the library databases (LexisNexis, EBSCO, ProQuest, etc.), you should identify and gather information from at least three good research sources. Use what you learned from your textbook (Chapter 5) and the Week 4 class discussion to help you find good sources.
Since this project is not just a biography of some famous person, you may only use one source from a biography database. Research to find and gather information on how your leader worked to become a recognized leader and how this person has demonstrated leadership in the field. You must also find information on the definition of leadership and key leadership skills, the role of individual accountability as it relates to leadership, and the process you might follow to develop leadership skills and become a leader.
For Week 5, you are to prepare an outline with a title page and a references page. This assignment will be scored out of 100 points. A thoughtfully-prepared outline will help you organize all of your ideas and establish a framework for your well-supported, meaningful research project.
Your outline should be one to two pages long and should cover all required elements of the project in a logical manner. Each body section of your outline must include cited, researched support from quality sources found in the academic databases.
You must use at least three sources now, though you will most l.

Due Date: Oct 20, 2015 23:59:59 Max Points: 145
Details:
Doctoral researchers must be able to manage statistical data in order to draw conclusions about the data from a research study. This assignment will allow you to practice your skills in working with standard deviation, hypotheses, and standard error.
General Requirements:
Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:
· Read each segment of this assignment carefully. There is information in the segment that will guide your completion.
· Instructors will be using a grading rubric to grade the assignments. It is recommended that learners review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment in order to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment.

· This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included.
Directions:
In an essay of 250-500 words, thoroughly address the following items and respond to the related questions:
1. Define the term standard deviation. Why is it important to know the standard deviation for a given sample? What do researchers learn about a normal distribution from knowledge of the standard deviation? A sample of n=20 has a mean of M = 40. If the standard deviation is s=5, would a score of X= 55 be considered an extreme value? Why or why not?
2. Hypothesis testing allows researchers to use sample data, taken from a larger population, to draw inferences (i.e., conclusions) about the population from which the sample came. Hypothesis testing is one of the most commonly used inferential procedures. Define and thoroughly explain the terms null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis. How are they used in hypothesis testing?
3. Define the term standard error. Why is the standard error important in research using sample distributions? Consider the following scenario: A random sample obtained from a population has a mean of µ=100 and a standard deviation of σ = 20. The error between the sample mean and the population mean for a sample of n = 16 is 5 points and the error between a sample men and population mean for a sample of n = 100 is 2 points. Explain the difference in the standard error for the two samples.
Rubric-
The term standard deviation is defined correctly in a thorough manner. All of the follow-up questions are correctly answered in a thorough manner.

Course Project Outline with Title and References Pages Assignment Instructions
In Week 3 you began the process of developing your Course Project by brainstorming a list of people who are leaders somehow related to your field of study and who might be good role models for you in your quest to become a leader in your career field. By this point you should have selected a role-model leader. Now you are ready to start gathering information and putting together your actual Course Project (due Week 8).
You will need to do some real research to gather information on the required elements as we explore the topic of leadership. Using the library databases (LexisNexis, EBSCO, ProQuest, etc.), you should identify and gather information from at least three good research sources. Use what you learned from your textbook (Chapter 5) and the Week 4 class discussion to help you find good sources.
Since this project is not just a biography of some famous person, you may only use one source from a biography database. Research to find and gather information on how your leader worked to become a recognized leader and how this person has demonstrated leadership in the field. You must also find information on the definition of leadership and key leadership skills, the role of individual accountability as it relates to leadership, and the process you might follow to develop leadership skills and become a leader.
For Week 5, you are to prepare an outline with a title page and a references page. This assignment will be scored out of 100 points. A thoughtfully-prepared outline will help you organize all of your ideas and establish a framework for your well-supported, meaningful research project.
Your outline should be one to two pages long and should cover all required elements of the project in a logical manner. Each body section of your outline must include cited, researched support from quality sources found in the academic databases.
You must use at least three sources now, though you will most l.

Cyber terrorism, by definition, is the politically motivated use.docxdorishigh
Cyber terrorism, by definition, is the politically motivated use of computers and information technology to cause severe disruption or widespread fear in society. The Center for Strategic and International Studies reported in March 2019 that Chinese Hackers targeted at least 27 Universities to steal Naval Technologies research, being one of many cyber-terrorist attacks. Besides these attacks, Hacktivism is a cyber-attack either by legal or illegal digital means in the pursuit of political ends, free speech, and the right of free speech. A most notable example would be the group Anonymous conducting numerous hacks from 2008 to 2012 against companies, organizations, and even governments that go against their moral codes. Behind the Tunisia Operation in 2010, Anonymous took down eight government websites with DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks in support of Arab Spring movements. Between the two Cyberterrorism is meant to instill fear and panic in society. At the same time, Hacktivism brings about a voice or an opposition to the government and other organizations to support a cause against them. Hacktivism is more politically based, pointing out flaws in the system raising awareness on our rights as human beings. Advances in technology lead to newer and different types of attacks either group can conduct. From viruses waiting for you to log into your bank account to massive-scale attacks against the banks' systems themselves, terrorists, or hacktivists, have infinite ways to infiltrate and attack for their cause. Many laws have been put in place to combat these groups, acts put in place such as Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) or Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014 helping share information and build research and development to fight against cyber-attacks. Given the push against both groups by our government, I can't help but feel concern for our rights and freedoms that may be infringed upon that our government or some corporation is doing while combating the whistleblower with Hacktivist tactics. It only keeps me and others mindful while fighting against cyberattacks that may be classified as cyberterrorism. There is a fine line on what would be a genuine noble act of hacking or something labeled as cyberterrorism placing information and lives at risk, its not so black and white as some areas can be considered grey. Thankfully some events in history, thanks to Hacktivism has brought good results that benefit society, such as Operation "Nice" which organized to hunt down the terrorist responsible for attacks in the French city, killing nearly a hundred people. Also, Operation Darknet which infiltrated 40 child pornography websites publishing 1500 plus names of frequent visitors to the sites stopping such activity. In these instances, I am for hacktivism and specific groups that act for the benefit of society and our rights as humans.

1. Denial-of-Service (DoS) Attacks
A denial-of-service (DoS) is any kind of assault where the assailants (programmers) endeavor to keep real clients from getting to the service.
Programmer sends undesirable high volumes of traffic through the system until it ends up stacked and can never again work.

These threats could been avoided by:
Reinforcing the security frameworks and servers
WAFs (Web Application Firewalls) are an incredible instrument to use against these assaults as they give you more command over your web traffic while perceiving malicious web misuses.
2. Malware
A malware assault is a sort of cyber-attack in which malware or malicious programming performs exercises on the unfortunate casualty's PC system, more often than not without his/her insight.
In straightforward words, it is a code with the expectation to takes information or obliterates something on the PC.

Cyber Security in Industry 4.0
Cyber Security in Industry 4.0 (IEEE) Using Emerging Technology to Improve Compliance As cyber threats, malicious software, and cyber-attacks continue to escalate in sophistication, and no industry can remain immune to these threats. The IEEE has used industry-inspired advances in innovation and implementation to promote the highest level of cybersecurity standards for the most robustly protected information and communication technology infrastructure, from networks and telecommunication systems through websites, digital certificates, and passwords, and other software-based systems (Ardito et al., 2019). This Enhanced Canada Cybersecurity Standards and Certificates (ECCS&C) project strives to provide a common framework for enhanced cybersecurity across all sectors. The fourth industrial revolution is referred to as cybersecurity in Industry 4.0 and is encompassing three discrete components: machine learning, artificial intelligence, and automation.The effects of these four technologies will most certainly impact the processes and processes aspects of technology adoption. Over the next decade, we will most certainly see further and the further rise of robotics (Ardito et al., 2019).
The industrial revolution will begin with smart factory security systems. For now, those systems are secure, but many manufacturers will soon provide safeguards against attack and malware threats to help prevent malware attacks and lawsuits. The processes can look simple like a boiler next to a giant hexagon. For example, all these processes would trigger heating or cooling at some point, and the heating or cooling can be controlled by digital control boxes connected to a smart grid (Shi et al., 2019).
The industrial network will soon have more people connected in more complex networks, such as industrial warehouses. All of these buildings can communicate with each other and can remotely activate or deactivate automation systems to reduce manufacturing costs. The need for the defense, control, and monitoring of systems and networks. The blockchain is the most viable platform for these purposes (Shi et al., 2019). Decentralization is gaining respect and confidence on a global scale, and so there is a renewed emphasis on the blockchain in the industry. There is an abundance of articles on the blockchain's potential and benefits for companies. For example, more than fifty articles are covering the blockchain's potential for authentication, threat modeling, and development of social payment interfaces. Companies are beginning to explore smart contracts and smart systems for security, reputation, and data. All in all, it seems that all the evidence points to blockchain technology as the future of the financial industry (Shi et al., 2019).

Cyber Security Gone too far

BNS301 National Security Ethics and Diversity
How far is it too far when protecting the peoples' rights in cyberspace and its national security? In an ever-evolving cyber world, many states tend to infringe on citizens' cyber information privacy for their own accord. Sometimes governments overstep boundaries and bend the rules to protect the land and overstep the peoples' privacy to enforce rules and regulations. My final paper will analyze rules and regulations within the Cybersecurity realm within the United States. The National Security Strategy is a good guideline on the laws and what the U.S is looking to implement soon. This paper intends not to make conspiracy theories to show facts and existing laws and regulations on how the citizens' privacy has no longer been protected and some examples of historical events. (Snowden) had an ethical dilemma when he made his decisions. My paper will include my opinions and the bullet points below to construct a good argument on how the U.S can protect its citizens' privacy.
· National Security Strategy
· Cyber laws within the United States
· Privacy Laws
· Phone settings
· Phone Companies and laws sharing information to the government
· Internal agencies search and espionage laws

BERNICE BOBS HER HAIR
by
F. Scott Fitzgerald
After dark on Saturday night one could stand on the first tee
of the golf-course and see the country-club windows as a
yellow expanse over a very black and wavy ocean. The
waves of this ocean, so to speak, were the heads of many
curious caddies, a few of the more ingenious chauffeurs, the
golf professional's deaf sister--and there were usually several
stray, diffident waves who might have rolled inside had they
so desired. This was the gallery.
The balcony was inside. It consisted of the circle of wicker
chairs that lined the wall of the combination clubroom and
ballroom. At these Saturday-night dances it was largely
feminine; a great babel of middle-aged ladies with sharp eyes
and icy hearts behind lorgnettes and large bosoms. The main
function of the balcony was critical. It occasionally showed
grudging admira.

ARTICLE CRITIQUE
Purpose:
This assignment is to help the student improve his/her ability to use a library database to locate primary references, to improve their ability to paraphrase information, to create a more objective mindset in evaluating data, and to develop a document using a scientific approach to writing (American Psychological Association (APA) style). Please be aware that it IS NOT POSSIBLE to pass this course without doing this assignment.
Components:
Step 1: Database Assignment: Locate the Psychology Research Guide through the El Centro Library website, and using one of the two databases listed to locate a professional, research based, journal article from a psychology related journal. To qualify: the journal must be a professional (not student) psychology academic journal, must be published in the past five years, and must be research-oriented. The article must have full text availability and must have references. You may seek the help of a librarian, but you must be able to locate the article yourself if asked to do so. You MUST upload your article to the appropriate eCampus link for my approval BEFORE you proceed with the rest of the assignment.
Step 2: Creating a Cover Page and a References Page: In this assignment you are asked to create a cover page and a reference page based on the article you selected from the library database. Once you begin this assignment, you must use the article you selected for the rest of the semester. The cover page and the references page must adhere to APA standards, and they will be graded accordingly. The Cover page must have an APA running head and title which are appropriately related to the content of the article. The running head must also be placed correctly formatted on all pages of the assignment as shown on the template. The Title Page must accurately contain the required information as detailed on the template. The Reference Page must present author name(s) and initials, year of publication, title of article, title of journal, volume number, issue number, page numbers, and the digital object identifier (DOI) if available. You are required to place this in the appropriate APA style, double spaced and with a hanging indentation of .5 inches. Title and Reference pages that are not correctly done according to APA style will not be accepted and must be redone before moving on to the next step of the overall assignment.
Step 3: Writing an Introduction: In this assignment, you must indicate why the authors considered this to be important research and why they approached the topic as they did. This assignment is expected to involve a full page and must include appropriate citations, including both parenthetical and non-parenthetical citations.

Cyber terrorism, by definition, is the politically motivated use.docxdorishigh
Cyber terrorism, by definition, is the politically motivated use of computers and information technology to cause severe disruption or widespread fear in society. The Center for Strategic and International Studies reported in March 2019 that Chinese Hackers targeted at least 27 Universities to steal Naval Technologies research, being one of many cyber-terrorist attacks. Besides these attacks, Hacktivism is a cyber-attack either by legal or illegal digital means in the pursuit of political ends, free speech, and the right of free speech. A most notable example would be the group Anonymous conducting numerous hacks from 2008 to 2012 against companies, organizations, and even governments that go against their moral codes. Behind the Tunisia Operation in 2010, Anonymous took down eight government websites with DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks in support of Arab Spring movements. Between the two Cyberterrorism is meant to instill fear and panic in society. At the same time, Hacktivism brings about a voice or an opposition to the government and other organizations to support a cause against them. Hacktivism is more politically based, pointing out flaws in the system raising awareness on our rights as human beings. Advances in technology lead to newer and different types of attacks either group can conduct. From viruses waiting for you to log into your bank account to massive-scale attacks against the banks' systems themselves, terrorists, or hacktivists, have infinite ways to infiltrate and attack for their cause. Many laws have been put in place to combat these groups, acts put in place such as Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) or Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014 helping share information and build research and development to fight against cyber-attacks. Given the push against both groups by our government, I can't help but feel concern for our rights and freedoms that may be infringed upon that our government or some corporation is doing while combating the whistleblower with Hacktivist tactics. It only keeps me and others mindful while fighting against cyberattacks that may be classified as cyberterrorism. There is a fine line on what would be a genuine noble act of hacking or something labeled as cyberterrorism placing information and lives at risk, its not so black and white as some areas can be considered grey. Thankfully some events in history, thanks to Hacktivism has brought good results that benefit society, such as Operation "Nice" which organized to hunt down the terrorist responsible for attacks in the French city, killing nearly a hundred people. Also, Operation Darknet which infiltrated 40 child pornography websites publishing 1500 plus names of frequent visitors to the sites stopping such activity. In these instances, I am for hacktivism and specific groups that act for the benefit of society and our rights as humans.

1. Denial-of-Service (DoS) Attacks
A denial-of-service (DoS) is any kind of assault where the assailants (programmers) endeavor to keep real clients from getting to the service.
Programmer sends undesirable high volumes of traffic through the system until it ends up stacked and can never again work.

These threats could been avoided by:
Reinforcing the security frameworks and servers
WAFs (Web Application Firewalls) are an incredible instrument to use against these assaults as they give you more command over your web traffic while perceiving malicious web misuses.
2. Malware
A malware assault is a sort of cyber-attack in which malware or malicious programming performs exercises on the unfortunate casualty's PC system, more often than not without his/her insight.
In straightforward words, it is a code with the expectation to takes information or obliterates something on the PC.

Cyber Security in Industry 4.0
Cyber Security in Industry 4.0 (IEEE) Using Emerging Technology to Improve Compliance As cyber threats, malicious software, and cyber-attacks continue to escalate in sophistication, and no industry can remain immune to these threats. The IEEE has used industry-inspired advances in innovation and implementation to promote the highest level of cybersecurity standards for the most robustly protected information and communication technology infrastructure, from networks and telecommunication systems through websites, digital certificates, and passwords, and other software-based systems (Ardito et al., 2019). This Enhanced Canada Cybersecurity Standards and Certificates (ECCS&C) project strives to provide a common framework for enhanced cybersecurity across all sectors. The fourth industrial revolution is referred to as cybersecurity in Industry 4.0 and is encompassing three discrete components: machine learning, artificial intelligence, and automation.The effects of these four technologies will most certainly impact the processes and processes aspects of technology adoption. Over the next decade, we will most certainly see further and the further rise of robotics (Ardito et al., 2019).
The industrial revolution will begin with smart factory security systems. For now, those systems are secure, but many manufacturers will soon provide safeguards against attack and malware threats to help prevent malware attacks and lawsuits. The processes can look simple like a boiler next to a giant hexagon. For example, all these processes would trigger heating or cooling at some point, and the heating or cooling can be controlled by digital control boxes connected to a smart grid (Shi et al., 2019).
The industrial network will soon have more people connected in more complex networks, such as industrial warehouses. All of these buildings can communicate with each other and can remotely activate or deactivate automation systems to reduce manufacturing costs. The need for the defense, control, and monitoring of systems and networks. The blockchain is the most viable platform for these purposes (Shi et al., 2019). Decentralization is gaining respect and confidence on a global scale, and so there is a renewed emphasis on the blockchain in the industry. There is an abundance of articles on the blockchain's potential and benefits for companies. For example, more than fifty articles are covering the blockchain's potential for authentication, threat modeling, and development of social payment interfaces. Companies are beginning to explore smart contracts and smart systems for security, reputation, and data. All in all, it seems that all the evidence points to blockchain technology as the future of the financial industry (Shi et al., 2019).

Cyber Security Gone too far
Carlos Diego Lima
Excelsior College
BNS301 National Security Ethics and Diversity
How far is it too far when protecting the peoples' rights in cyberspace and its national security? In an ever-evolving cyber world, many states tend to infringe on citizens' cyber information privacy for their own accord. Sometimes governments overstep boundaries and bend the rules to protect the land and overstep the peoples' privacy to enforce rules and regulations. My final paper will analyze rules and regulations within the Cybersecurity realm within the United States. The National Security Strategy is a good guideline on the laws and what the U.S is looking to implement soon. This paper intends not to make conspiracy theories to show facts and existing laws and regulations on how the citizens' privacy has no longer been protected and some examples of historical events. (Snowden) had an ethical dilemma when he made his decisions. My paper will include my opinions and the bullet points below to construct a good argument on how the U.S can protect its citizens' privacy.
· National Security Strategy
· Cyber laws within the United States
· Privacy Laws
· Phone settings
· Phone Companies and laws sharing information to the government

BERNICE BOBS HER HAIR
by
F. Scott Fitzgerald
After dark on Saturday night one could stand on the first tee
of the golf-course and see the country-club windows as a
yellow expanse over a very black and wavy ocean. The
waves of this ocean, so to speak, were the heads of many
curious caddies, a few of the more ingenious chauffeurs, the
golf professional's deaf sister--and there were usually several
stray, diffident waves who might have rolled inside had they
so desired. This was the gallery.
The balcony was inside. It consisted of the circle of wicker
chairs that lined the wall of the combination clubroom and
ballroom. At these Saturday-night dances it was largely
feminine; a great babel of middle-aged ladies with sharp eyes
and icy hearts behind lorgnettes and large bosoms. The main
function of the balcony was critical. It occasionally showed
grudging admira.

Social Networking Channels
Thomas Lamonte Esters
Independence University
29 September 2018
SOCIAL NETWORKING CHANNELS 1
I dislike social networking sites because of the dangerous hazards connected to it.
The ProCon article vividly describes the numerous benefits that are attached to the social networking sites such as connecting people, enhancing advertising and marketing, promoting research and education, assisting to spread information faster as compared to other media, connecting employers and employees and assisting the government to identify and prosecute criminals. These are just a few examples that the article illustrates to support the necessity of the social networking sites in the society today. According to the article, the social networking channels have significantly transformed different sectors such as businesses for the better since they can sell their products and services globally (Procon.org, 2018).
However, the detrimental effects connected with the social networking channels are also numerous and most of them may lead to permanent damage to our lives. It is very clear that the education is the backbone of our lives and also the key to success. Currently, about 69% of the American population use social media channels which is a drastic increase in the usage from 2008 where about 26% of the Americans were connected to the social media (Procon.org, 2018). Most of the social networking sites users are the youths who are in their lower grade level, colleges or even universities. The research shows that using social media when handling assignments decreases the quality of work and makes the students drop in their performance. Education is a core value to a successful life and allowing social media to intrude in the academics will be detrimental since it will lead to the production of incompetent individuals who may end up causing problems in the society (Rowell, 2015).
Moreover, the social media channels expose individuals’ to privacy problems and intrusion by any interested parties. In fact, nothing which is shared in the social media channels is private. According to the survey conducted, 81% of the people surveyed believed that social media is insecure. The government through the NSA (National Security Agencies) intrudes to people’s data and communication in social media meaning that their private information ends up in the hands of the government. Many people do not know about social media privacy settings and this means that they leave their social media accounts prone to invasion (Procon.org, 2018). Viruses such as Steck. Evl can also be propagated via the social media to cause harm to the users. Most of these viruses are spies and send users priv.

INTRODUCTION
Background
In contrast to Walmart’s ability in maintaining leadership as a multinational retail aiming sustainability,
corporate philanthropy and employment opportunity, the company is falling behind in terms of customer
service satisfaction. Despite to the effort of Walmart’s executives throughout these years, in building a better
relationship with their customers, it seems they remain still unsuccessful. This can be measured as their
satisfaction rating levels are still extremely low when compared to other businesses in the same industry. Per
the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) annual ranking for 2016, Walmart, “still between one of
the 10 companies with the worst customer satisfaction”. (Tim Denman-March 01, 2016)
Since we all recognize the crucial importance that represents to any business keeping their customers happy,
not only with the price of the product but most important with the service provided. I will create a training
plan mainly focused in the delivery of effective customer service practices for all Walmart customer services
associates. This training program will provide to all Walmart’s new hires and current associates the
opportunity of not only learning, but also expanding, reinforcing and creating consistency of their knowledge
on how to deal with customers in different situations. How to improve happiness for the customers while
shopping and how to improve the associate’s customer service attitude and efficiency with the goal of
offering an outstanding service. Ultimately, to achieve delivering an enjoyable shopping experience to all
Walmart’s clients. This training will be presented in five different modules; each module will represent a
fundamental aspect inside of customer service job in order to make the associates.

the template for the final
report is on the last pages
Below are the instructions
Since you have become familiar with the foundations of cloud computing technologies, along with their risks and the legal and compliance issues, you will now explore cloud offerings of popular cloud providers and evaluate them to recommend one that would be the best fit for BallotOnline.
In this project, you will first learn about networking in the cloud and auxiliary cloud services provided by cloud vendors. Next, you will explore cloud computing trends, best practices, and issues involved in migrating IT deployments to the cloud, as well as typical architectures of cloud deployments. Then, you will apply your findings to propose a general architecture for BallotOnline’s cloud deployment to best address the company’s business requirements.
Once you have selected a deployment architecture, you will research two leading cloud vendors: Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. Exploring and comparing the tools available for application migration will enable you to recommend a vendor to the executives in your final report. The final deliverable is a written report to BallotOnline management, describing the results of your research and recommending the cloud deployment architecture and the vendor for its deployment, with justification.
Your final report should demonstrate that you understand the IT needs of the organization as you evaluate and select cloud providers. The report should include your insights on the appropriate direction to take to handle the company’s IT business needs. You will also be assessed on the ability to integrate relevant risk, policy, and compliance consideration into the recommendations, as well as the clarity of your writing and a demonstration of logical, step-by-step decision making to formulate and justify your ideas.

Introduction to CRM
Customer relationship management (CRM) is an approach to manage a company's interaction with current and potential customers
It’s seen as both an organizational strategy & information technology
Takes form in various systems and applications
Builds sustainable long-term customer relationships that create value for both the company and it’s customers
Contributes to customer retention & expansion of their relationships with advantageous existing customers
Obtains new customers
3
It uses data analysis about customers' history with a company to improve business relationships with customers, specifically focusing on customer retention and ultimately driving sales growth.
CRM helps companies acquire new customers and retain and expand their relationships with profitable existing customers. Retaining customers is particularly important because repeat customers are the largest generator of revenue for an enterprise. Also, organizations have long understood that winning back a customer who has switched to a competitor is vastly more expensive than keeping that customer satisfied in the first place.
The goal is simple: Improve business relationships. A CRM system helps companies stay connected to customers, streamline processes, and improve profitability.
Objectives
Who is CRM for?
Large businesses
Small businesses
Customers of both types of businesses listed above
4
Key Features:
stay connected to customers
streamline processes
provide visibility & easy access to data
improve efficiency & profitability
How does CRM benefit businesses?
Provides a clear overview of your customers
Can be used as both a sales and marketing tool
Contributes information from HR → Customer service → Supply-chain management
A CRM system gives eve#ryone — from sales, customer service, business development, recruiting, marketing, or any other line of business — a better way to manage the external interactions and relationships that drive success. A CRM tool lets you store customer and prospect contact information, identify sales opportunities, record service issues, and manage marketing campaigns, all in one central location — and make information about every customer interaction available to anyone at your company who might need it.
Some of the biggest gains in productivity can come from moving beyond CRM as a sales and marketing tool, and embedding it in your business – from HR to customer services and supply-chain management.

Custom Vans Inc. Custom Vans Inc. specializes in converting st.docxdorishigh
Custom Vans Inc. Custom Vans Inc
. specializes in converting standard vans into campers. Depending on the amount of work and customizing to be done, the customizing could cost less than $1,000 to more than $5,000. In less than four years, Tony Rizzo was able to expand his small operation in Gary, Indiana, to other major outlets in Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, and Detroit.
Innovation was the major factor in Tony’ s success in converting a small van shop into one of the largest and most profitable custom van operations in the Midwest. Tony seemed to have a special ability to design and develop unique features and devices that were always in high demand by van owners. An example was Shower-Rific, which Tony developed only six months after he started Custom Vans Inc. These small showers were completely self-contained, and they could be placed in almost any type of van and in a number of different locations within a van. Shower-Rific was made of fiberglass and contained towel racks, built-in soap and shampoo holders, and a unique plastic door. Each Shower-Rific took 2 gallons of fiberglass and 3 hours of labor to manufacture.
Most of the Shower-Rifics were manufactured in Gary, in the same warehouse where Custom Vans Inc. was founded. The manufacturing plant in Gary could produce 300 Shower-Rifics in a month, but that capacity never seemed to be enough. Custom Vans shops in all locations were complaining about not getting enough Shower-Rifics, and because Minneapolis was farther away from Gary than the other locations, Tony was always inclined to ship Shower-Rifics to the other locations before Minneapolis. This infuriated the manager of Custom Vans at Minneapolis, and after many heated discussions, Tony decided to start another manufacturing plant for Shower-Rifics at Fort Wayne, Indiana.
The manufacturing plant at Fort Wayne could produce 150 Shower-Rifics per month. The manufacturing plant at Fort Wayne was still not able to meet current demand for Shower-Rifics, and Tony knew that the demand for his unique camper shower would grow rapidly in the next year. After consulting with his lawyer and banker, Tony concluded that he should open two new manufacturing plants as soon as possible. Each plant would have the same capacity as the Fort Wayne manufacturing plant. An initial investigation into possible manufacturing locations was made, and Tony decided that the two new plants should be located in Detroit, Michigan; Rockford, Illinois; or Madison, Wisconsin. Tony knew that selecting the best location for the two new manufacturing plants would be difficult. Transportation costs and demands for the various locations were important considerations.
The Chicago shop was managed by Bill Burch. This Custom Vans shop was one of the first established by Tony, and it continued to outperform the other locations. The manufacturing plant at Gary was supplying the Chicago shop with 200 Shower-Rifics each month, although Bill knew that the demand for the.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
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.

AES Coursework Assessment Brief
What
Coursework 1:
In this assessment, you will:
- design an essay title related to your subject of study.
- find five additional reliable sources related to your essay.
- write an annotated reference for two of your sources, outlining
how the source is relevant to your essay (what useful
information, arguments, data or examples it provides) and how
you found the source (eg. via Google Scholar, the University
library, from a reading list, following up on a reference in
another article)
- write a brief source evaluation for three further sources,
outlining how you have identified the source as suitable for
academic use.
- identify three main points which are useful from each of the
three sources, and the supporting evidence provided.
- note the part of the essay for which the points are useful.
- note the conclusions you have drawn from your reading on the
topic.
This coursework is the first stage of your AES coursework
portfolio. You will be required to present and answer questions
on your research in CW 2, and write a research-based essay of
2500 words in CW 3. There is no word limit for CW 1. You can
write in note-form, as you are not marked for the accuracy of
your language, but you must use your own words. You cannot
demonstrate your understanding of the sources you have read if
you copy from the text.
Why
CW 1 tests your ability to research and plan an extended
30. research essay by:
- analysing an essay title and answering it with relevant points
and ideas.
- finding useful, credible academic sources to inform your ideas
in answering the question.
- reading and identifying relevant information for your essay.
- identifying the main points and supporting evidence in
sources.
- draw conclusions from your reading.
- integrating your own ideas with ideas from your sources.
- discussing your conclusions in a tutorial.
This assessment counts for 40% of your final mark for reading.
When
Stage 1) [ENTER DATE] Complete the CW 1 planning
document and show it to your tutor for approval. This ensures
you have understood the requirements of the essay question
correctly, and that your choice of sources is appropriate before
you go any further.
Stage 2) [ENTER DATE] Go through the CW 1 Checklistand
Feedback Sheet to make sure you have completed the
assessment fully and correctly, and submit the draft of your
source report.
Stage 3) [ENTER DATE] Your tutor will provide feedback on
your draft in a tutorial. Make notes of your tutor’s comments on
the CW 1 Checklistand Feedback Sheet. Your tutor will advise
you on whether your submission is acceptable as a piece of
academic work, or if further work is needed. You will also be
asked in the tutorial to talk through your research so far and
show the sources you have found.
Stage 4) [ENTER DATE] Submit your CW 1.
How
Your work is submitted and marked electronically. Your tutor
will give you the marking criteria and samples of student
submissions so that you can see how the assessment is marked.
Your work will automatically be checked by similarity software
(Turnitin) to make sure you have submitted work in your own
31. words. You may be able to submit your work ahead of the
submission deadline in order to check the similarity score.
What if…
I don’t choose relevant or reliable sources?
- Your tutor will check your sources before you write your first
draft. Make sure you have used the best source of information
(if you find some interesting data reported in a newspaper,
follow up on the original source, rather than just citing the
newspaper, for example).
- Use the sources you are given as a starting point; follow up on
references mentioned in the texts, consult reading lists for your
subject and ask in the library for help finding relevant material.
my similarity score on Turnitin is high?
First, check your similarity report. Any wording on the template
will be picked up as plagiarism, so your tutor will not count
that. Check whether chunks of your writing have been
highlighted in the report; this indicates you have not
paraphrased effectively. Poor paraphrasing is a form of
plagiarism, and will result in your work being reported for
academic misconduct. You should therefore revise your work
and resubmit it before the assessment deadline. This assessment
requires you to identify and summarise key points from the text
in your own words; you should not just use direct quotations
from sources in this assessment.
You can find further information on the Academic Misconduct
process in your Student Handbook.
I submit the coursework late?
If you submit an assessment late, a penalty will be applied to
your final mark. The penalties for late submission are outlined
in your Student Handbook.
I don’t pass CW 1?
You should submit a draft of CW 1 so that your tutor can
provide you with feedback to improve your work before you
submit it.
You will need a minimum score for your overall reading mark
in order to meet your progression requirements. If you score
32. below 40% on CW 1, you may be required to resubmit at the
end of the module. If your CW 1 needs improvement or
development, you can resubmit a re-working of your original
submission. If you are awarded zero due to Academic
Misconduct (ie. you have submitted work which is not your
own), you will be given a new essay title to research and plan.
I don’t submit CW 1?
You must submit complete all three components of the module
in order to demonstrate that you have met all the learning
outcomes. Your final mark may be withheld if your assessments
are incomplete. If you are unable to submit CW 1 by the
deadline, you will need to apply for mitigating circumstances.
Further information on mitigating circumstances can be found in
your student handbook.
I miss part of CW 1?
If you only submit part of CW 1 (you complete the first two
annotated references, but not the source evaluation part, for
example) your work will be penalised according to the marking
criteria. In this example, you would be awarded zero for Source
Evaluation andUse of Sources, and Processing Text.
Can I…
use sources that I am reading for my subject?
Yes. You should not submit the same assessment for two
modules, as this is academic misconduct, but you are able to use
material you are reading in your subject module in the AES
Coursework.

33. How to complete the CW 1 Planning document
You need to complete the planning document to show your tutor
like this:
Essay title or question:
Title:
Critics depict zoos as animal prisons where animals are
exploited for entertainment. Discuss the impacts of captivity
and human interaction on animal behaviour and welfare. To
what extent are the concerns upheld by the scientific
community?
Add the key question words from your title and what they refer
to – this shows you have understood the question correctly.
Approach verbs
Ideas to be explored
Discuss
How are animals affected by living in zoos? What are the
benefits and drawbacks? Does it make a difference if animals
are born in captivity?
To what extent
How far are the claims that zoos do not prioritise animal
welfare and conservation valid?
You can write in note form, but make sure it is clear what the
key points / arguments you are going to cover are.
34. - Who are the critics? Are they scientists?
- What are the main criticisms of zoos? What is the evidence
base for the criticisms?
- What are the main effects on animals in captivity in terms of
the space they live in? Is it dependent on the animal or the
environment?
- What are the main effects on animals in captivity of human
interaction? Does human presence bother animals in the same
way? What is the issue – noise? smell? physical contact?
- Are there issues when animals are in captivity and then are put
back into the wild?
- Have zoos done anything to improve conditions and respond to
criticisms? Is there evidence that the measures have been
effective?
- What are the positives of zoos / captivity? Conservation /
education. Would animals be negatively affected if there were
no zoos?
You don’t need to decide what your position is yet; this will be
informed by your reading, but if your title asks for a position,
you should show that you plan to include it.
Issues to be considered
35. List at least six sources you plan to use. Do not include the
sources you were given in your list of six. Make sure you have
formatted the references correctly, and that they are ordered
alphabetically. Make sure the sources you include are
appropriate for academic use.

This source is relevant because...
it offers a comprehensive overview of the topic. The books has
chapters on several aspects of zoo management in terms of their
housing, breeding, feeding, etc. from both welfare and
regulation perpectives. Chapter 13 looks at the effects of human
visitors on zoo animals, Chapter 10 focusses on the value of
zoos in conservation and chapter 14 outlines areas where further
40. research is needed. The book is aimed at those studying or
working in the field, so is accessible but research-based.

Type of source:
Journal
Reference:
Conway, W. G. (2011) ‘Buying time for wild animals with zoos’
Zoo Biology, 30(1), 1-8
This source is relevant because...
it presents the argument that today’s zoos are now the lifeline of
a number of species. The article explains that due to human
interference and the resulting loss of land and biodiversity, zoos
and parks are becoming the only viable way to protect animals.
The article presents research from the World Association of
Zoos and Aquariums that suggests that greater resource should
be invested in the conservation work carried out by zoos and
parks. Conway presents and an interesting perspective that
while zoos may not be ideal, they may be essential in stopping
significant numbers of animal species going extinct due to
human activity and climate change.

visitors on animal behaviour, and provides suggestions for
improvement in zoo conditions.
Your source may be useful for one part of your essay, or
several.
Which point will the information and arguments from the text
be used to support or explain?
The information in this source is useful for three sections of my
essay: Identifying the aims of zoos (P1) and the effect of animal
enclosure space (P5) and visitors (P4) on animal behaviour and
welfare. It also offers some solutions on how the negative
effects of human presence have been addressed in some zoos.
Relevant points from the text
Supporting evidence / example/ data in the text
Modern zoos have five primary goals: animal welfare,
conservation, education of the public and entertainment
Add the page numbers for your evidence as it will help you find
it when you are writing your essay. Make sure you note any
43. secondary citations so that you can reference accurately later.
· p2 -The majority of visitors come for entertainment (Altman,
1998; Reade & Waren, 1996) but without the element of
entertainment, zoos would be unable to achieve their other
goals. The entertainment factor is essential in generating
income and raising awareness of conservation.
- p4 - Anderson et al. (2003); Hosey (2005) – entertainment
ensures that visitors visit zoos repeatedly – this generates
revenue for conservation and animal care.
- p2 - Anderson et al. (2003); Hosey (2005) – study shows time
people spend with animals leads to positive perceptions of
animals, which leads to an increased support for conservation
projects.
Visitor effects on animals: Noisy crowds negatively affect
animal behaviour: measured by changes in behaviour and
physiology.
Changes in behaviour:
· p5 - Mallapur & Chellam (2002) - Leopards increased ‘pacing’
when the zoo was extremely busy. Interpreted as an attempt to
maintain distance from visitors, possible attempt to escape.
· p5 - Birke (2002) - Orangutans covered their heads with paper
sacks and infants held onto their mothers significantly more
with large group of visitors
· p5 - Chamove et al. (1988) - Tamarins, Diana monkeys, ring-
tailed lemurs and mandrills - increase in aggression and a
decrease in grooming, inactivity when visitors were present.
Changes in physiology:
· p5 - Davis et al, (2005) Spider Monkeys - measure stress by
via urinary cortisol levels indicates positive correlation between
cortisol levels and visitor numbers.
Modifying animals’ living space / interaction with visitors can
mitigate some of the negative effects of human presence.
- Most studies suggest that zoo visitors produce stress, but
44. Margulis et al. (2003); Nimon & Dalziel (1992) suggest that
animals may adjust and become accustomed to zoo visitors.as
expected.p6- Anderson et al. (2002); Davis et al. (2005) -
Exhibits design to be ‘naturalistic’ and provide retreats to give
the animals some control in stressful situations.
- p5 - Anderson et al. (2002) - African pygmy goats and
Romanov sheep - an increase in ‘petting zoo’ visitors led to
aggressive and escape behaviour as the animals found it
difficult to form distance from humans. When a retreat space
was provided, undesirable behaviours were reduced.
- p6 - Blaney Wells (2004); Wells (2005) - Gorillas - less
aggressive and less abnormal behaviour when camouflage
netting was installed.

Which point will the information and arguments from the text
be used to support or explain?
This article is useful for the part of my essay focussing on
whether zoos play a key role in animal conservation. (P2) The
information and evidence in this source has helped me
determine that the scientific community does not necessarily
agree with the view of zoos as simply a source of entertainment.
Relevant points from the text
Supporting evidence / example/ data in the text
Captive breeding may be the only way to save some animals by
counteracting or reducing the threat of extinction.
- p1 - Thibault et al. (2001) Captive breeding has the
potential to protect animal populations against threats like
disease or pressure from non-native species (e.g. egg predators
on islands) until reintroduction into the wild is possible.
- p1 - Other example of species saved from near extinction:
- Van Dierendonck & Wallis de Vries (1996) - Wild horse
- Belant et al.(2010) - Black footed ferret
- Meretsky et al.(2000) - California Condor
Captive breeding is not without problems – it may cause other
46. issues, such as hybridisation.
- p1- Barnett et al. (2006) - Facilities need to be in place to
avoid technical difficulties such as hybridisation when species
are managed together in order to reduce costs.
Further issues with captive breeding occur when animals are
released into the wild; they are more vulnerable to poachers as
their survival skills are comprised. However, some zoos are
providing animal training programmes to counteract this.
- p1 - Spalton et al. (1999); Morell (2008) - Poaching is a
problem when animals are released, for example the
reintroduction of Arabian Oryx in central Oman where local
communities were not sufficiently involved in conservation.
- p1 - Barnett et al. (2006) - The ability of animals to learn
crucial skills that allow them to survive in the wild (e.g., fear of
humans or predators) may be compromised.
- p1 – Possible solution - White et al. (2005) – Discusses the
establishment of training programs in zoos to prepare animals
for survival – eg. Puerto Rican parrots which are unable to
escape predators in the wild - problem solved by ‘pre-release
aviary-based stimulation and exercise program.’

Accuracy
Where does the information in the article come from? Are
academic conventions used?
The purpose of the article is to give an overview of what animal
welfare means. It also discusses how this is assessed in zoos
along with the principles and guidelines that those who work in
zoos follow.
The evidence is reliable as there are clear academic conventions
in citing and referencing other research done in the area and
specific references to the organisations currently dealing with
animal welfare.
Which point will the information and arguments from the text
be used to support or explain?
This article helps in the first part of my essay, where I will
address the concerns around animal welfare (P1). It also
provides useful information for the section on the effect of
48. physical space / environment (P5).
Relevant points from the text
Supporting evidence / example/ data in the text
A key issue around the discussion of animal welfare is the lack
of an international standard, and also disparity between the
needs of different animals; this makes the establishment of a
‘standard’ problematic.
- Duncan (1981) – A new perspective of animal welfare is
that welfare refers to a characteristic of the individual animal.
- Hill & Broom (2009); Koene (2013) - Animals in zoos
come from a variety of backgrounds, with differing life
experiences and ability to reaction to challenges. For example,
an animal that stays in zoos its whole life and one that is
temporarily resident until reintroduced to the wild require
different skills or another example of an animal brought into an
urban zoo from a semi-free-ranging facility or vice versa.
Efforts have been made to establish a system of measuring
animal welfare in captivity: ‘animal-based’ and ‘resource-
based’ (Blokhuis 2008)
- p3 - Blokhuis (2008) - ‘Animal-based welfare’ focuses on
the physical, behavioural, and mental state of the animals and is
measured from the animals’ perspectives, which can be
scientifically challenging i.e. mental state.
‘Resource-based welfare’ focuses on natural history such as
the amount of space, temperature, diet, and veterinary care.
- Maslow’s hierarchy addressed Animal Rights and results in an
animal retaining and encouraging natural abilities. The
foundations for survival include physiologic needs for shelter,
water, and hygiene. Followed by the animals’ physical health
and safety needs. Finally, welfare-related activities, such as
social needs, mental stimulation, and choice.

49. One approach to addressing animal welfare is designing animals
spaces based on species
· p3 - Kagan & Veasey (2010) – ‘Exhibit design’ must be
species-specific, incorporate appropriate space; environmental
enrichment, natural exercise and social interactions with other
animals in the location. As outlined in Blokhuis (2008) resource
based welfare.
· p5 - Kagan & Veasey (2010) – A priority for the welfare of an
animal in captivity is that the animal should be able to perform
and behave as they would in a natural environment / the wild.
· p1 - Mench & Kreger (1996) - It is the responsibility of the
zoo to demonstrate a current and up to date knowledge of
animals’ needs by providing a suitable environment.
Conclusions drawn from your reading
· There are valid criticisms of zoos – particularly in countries
where regulation is weak or unclear, but there is evidence that
many zoos have invested research and resources into mitigating
against welfare issues.
· Research suggests that there are significant benefits to animal
conservation through being kept in captivity.
· The scientific community are very aware of the challenges
presented by keeping animals in captivity and are working
collaboratively to find solutions.
· There is evidence that the situation it is improving all the time
due to growing awareness of animal needs and support for
conservation projects.
