Explain how your layered design compensates for possible device failures or breaches in network security.

This term paper involves putting together the various concepts learned throughout this course. You are tasked with designing the most secure network possible, keeping in mind your goal of supporting three (3) IT services: email, file transfer (centralized), and VPN. Your first step is to design a single network capable of supporting there three (3) different services. Once you have fully designed your network, you will need to provide three (3) workflow diagrams explaining how your designed network handles the three (3) different transactions. The first is an internal user sending an email using his / her corporate email address to a user on the Yahoo domain with an arbitrary address of user534@yahoo.com. The second workflow diagram should show a user initiating an FTP session from inside your network to the arbitrary site of ftp.netneering.com. The third workflow is an externally located employee initiating a VPN session to corporate in order to access files on the Windows desktop computer, DT-Corp534-HellenS, at work.

SEC301 – Information Security Management and Governance

ISM Assignment 2015

Establishing Security Policy and Promoting Awareness
Objectives

To research and produce recommendations in relation to an area of relevance to Information Security Managers. Research to be conducted utilising traditional sources (books, journals, articles etc.) as well as the Internet.
Production of a report of no more than 3,500 words, including a proposed security policy (max. one page).

Topic and tasks

Security surveys frequently indicate a disparity in the attention that organisations direct towards technical controls and that focused upon policy and awareness. While the former are often well supported, efforts in the latter areas may more typically be lacking. This is particularly true with awareness raising, such the even if a related policy does exist, staff can often receive little support in understanding and complying with it.

This assignment requires you to identify a specific security issue that you believe to be of relevance to Plymouth University, and then to devise an associated policy and awareness-raising strategy to support it. In producing this material you should:

Research and evidence the significant/relevance of your target issue, drawing upon (and citing) appropriate literature sources to support your case.

Justify the aspects that you believe should be part of a related policy for users (staff and/or students) in a university context.

Write the policy itself, in the manner (i.e. wording and length) that you would expect it to be presented to its target audience. In doing so, please remember that there is a distinction between setting policy and providing guidance, and keep in mind which one you are writing. Please note that the policy should not exceed one page in length.

Discuss and justify the ways in which it could be best promoted. In doing so, you should give consideration to issues of likely cost and practicality in a university context.

Possible policy areas that you may consider include (but are not limited to) use of:

mobile devices
social networking services
data encryption
cloud data storage services

Note that you are required to address ONE policy topic, rather than a whole series.

Given that policies of this nature can already be found for Plymouth and other academic institutions, you are NOT expected to simply take one ‘off the shelf’ and present it as a solution. Your work needs to analyse the associated topic area and justify the policy aspects that you believe should result.

You should give appropriate consideration to the presentation and structure of your report, and the use of appropriate referencing of sources in order to support the points you are making. Marks will be gained for including appropriate introduction and concluding sections, as well as for appropriate use of figures and tables that can usefully accompany and support the text.
Assessment

This is an individual assignment and your overall submission will be assessed based on the following criteria:

Significance of target issue 30%
Policy justification 15%
Policy document 20%
Awareness-raising strategy 20%
Report presentation, structure and referencing 15%

This assignment represents 50% of the overall module mark.

The fast advancement and dissemination of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has drastically changed numerous parts of life and societies around the world.

The fast advancement and dissemination of information and communication
technologies (ICTs) has drastically changed numerous parts of life and societies
around the world. Information and communication technology, particularly the Internet, have influenced the way we all interact, live, seek education and associate in numerous ways. Today, ICTs have turned into an indispensable part of developed nations. ICTs have the potential to bolster monetary development, to give opportunities, and to expand democracy in developing countries. Yet, numerous developing nations have not possessed the capacity to take advantage of the numerous opened doors offered by ICTs. There are note worthy contrasts between developed and non-developed countries as far as getting to and utilizing information and communication technologies. This is defined as global digital divide.
Additionally, there are also distinctive types of digital divides, for example the gender divide, the age divide, and the income divide. Although developing countries reap the benefits of ICTs in most, if not all areas of their lives, developing countries do not share in these advantages. As a result of advances in information technologies, the knowledge gaps between the information-rich and the information-poor have deepened over time and that has caused excluding parts of the world from enjoying the fruits of the global village (Iskandarani, 2008). Because of this, people have begun to notice the phenomenon that the digital divide may actually exist. They claim that there is a significant digital divide between poor and rich countries in the use of ICT and the availability of complementary assets such as telecommunications networks and skilled ICT professionals (Genus & Nor, 2007; Shih, Kraemer, & Dedrick, 2008). Indeed ICT has become cheaper and more accessible and so a growth in the telecommunications infrastructure is seen.
However, the main aim of this paper is to explore and analyse whether technology is really deepening the economic gap between the rich and the poor to the huge extent that is implied. Does this invisible line separate the rich from the poor, men from women, the educated from the illiterate be accepted as one of the most prevalent issues of our time?
The Digital Divide

The digital divide can be characterized as “the gap between individuals, households, businesses and geographic areas at different socio-economic levels with regard to both to their opportunities to access ICTs and to their use of the Internet for a wide variety of activities” (OECD, 2001, P 5). The worldwide advanced separation alludes to contrasts between the rich and the poor as far as access to ICTs. ICTs access inequality is called as the first order digital divide (Jin & Cheong, 2008). The digital divide problem has geographic, demographic, and socio-economic dimensions (Yuguchi, 2008). The expression “digital divide” was presented by Larry Irving Jr., previous US Assistant Secretary of Business for Telecommunication and Communication in the mid-1990s so as to center open consideration on the current gap to access information services between those who can afford to purchase a computer and software necessary to participate in the global information network, and low income families and communities who cannot (Boje & Dragulanescu, 2003). Wilson (2004, p.300) describes the digital divide as an “inequality in access, distribution and use of information and communication technologies between two or more populations.” Financial divide is one of the eight aspects of the digital divide according to Wilson. There are also sociological and philosophical issues of the digital divide because of the potential missed opportunity on the part of millions of people to obtain desirable jobs and enhance their lives by using computers and the Internet (Friedman, 2001). The digital divide refers to unequal patterns of material access to, usage capabilities of, and benefits from computer-based information and communication technologies that are caused by certain stratification processes that produce classes of winners and losers of the information society, and participation in institutions governing ICTs and society (Fuchs & Horak, 2007). “Low income countries account for 40 percent of the World’s population and 1 percent of its gross national income. Yet, of 242 million Internet users worldwide in 1999, only 5 million, or about two percent, were in low-income countries. Of 110,498 secure servers worldwide that use encryption technologies in Internet transactions, only
224, or 0.2 percent, are in low-income countries (Kenny, 2002).
When all is said in done the well off individuals are seen as the ones who can stand to buy the innovation and secure the abilities important to utilize it while the poor are limited by boundaries, for example, destitution and absence of education, this is standard for the Digital Divide idea. Numerous contend that the presence of the Digital Divide is a myth; it just does not exist. Those who review the Digital Divide as a myth [Samuelson, 2002] site illustrations of the expanded access to PCs and the Internet. PCs are presently less expensive to purchase and simpler to utilize. Falling costs and ability necessities propose that regardless of the possibility that there was an Advanced Divide it must be contracting. The plenitude of digital cafes makes PCs and the Internet open to the overall population. PC Literacy courses are currently obligatory in schools, guaranteeing that understudies figure out how to utilize the innovation at a youthful age.
One inquires whether the students’ lives have been fundamentally enhanced as result of PC education. Understudies still must have the capacity to peruse and reason keeping in mind the end goal to learn the innovation; these abilities are the ones that are generally imperative.
PCs were never the wellspring of any ones poverty. Increased focus ought to be put on giving the essential necessities to living rather than therapeutic government activity to “bridge the gap”. The Digital Divide is insignificant to the individuals who do not have the fundamental essentials, for example, sufficient nourishment, essential human services, fundamental instruction, safe water and sterile living conditions.
Then again, there are the individuals who trust that the Digital separation does for sure exist. It is trusted that obstructions, for example, destitution, absence of education thus on are keeping individuals away from having access to PCs and the Internet. As said before just the well off can afford the innovation, particularly the most progressive machines and programming. Poor people, once in a while in the part of ethnic minorities, are the ones profiting slightest from access to PCs and Internet innovation.
The thought of shutting the Digital Divide is currently at the center of numerous poverty reduction endeavors.

Political pioneers in numerous developing nations, having neglected to address destitution in their nations, are getting a handle on new advances and worldwide exchange as their last best option to raise their populations’ way of life (Venkat 2002). Venkat questions whether the Digital Divide is a reason for poverty or an impact of the hidden social and monetary partitions. The United Nations Improvement Program (UNDP) in its Human Development Report for 2001 has referred to evidence demonstrating that the present digital divide is following the income divide everywhere in the world. As business sector strengths proliferate new advancements, individuals who are doing moderately well are prone to advantage the most, fortifying the longstanding monetary inconsistencies between the rich and poor.
The digital divide is genuine for the individuals who have moved past acquiring the fundamental necessities of life and are presently kept down by an absence of access to innovation. They have basically fulfilled their fundamental living needs and are currently hoping to enhance their lives by means of the utilization of innovation. So the Digital Divide is genuine in a few occurrences where the innovation can be utilized to enhance the way of life of a few individuals. Access to data innovation can’t be helpful unless essential needs are met. Genuine answers for profound neediness will need to reach underneath the Digital Partition and defy the fundamental aberrations in the public arena.

Non-access to innovation develops the contrasts between the rich and poor people in the following ways:

⦁ Unequal chances to exchange and take part in E-trade.
⦁ Unequal access to correspondence and data.
⦁ Tackling this issue does not ensure the lessening or disposal of poverty
⦁ This idea may depict minority bunches as technophobic philanthropy cases without the longing to receive new advances all alone.

Table 1
Arguments for the existence of the
Digital divide Arguments against the existence of the
Digital divide
⦁ The wealthy are the ones that can
afford to access technology and
software, especially the most advanced
in these areas.
⦁ The poor are unable to purchase
technology because of the high cost.
⦁ The poor are also restricted by a lack
of skill in terms of computer usage and
in many cases are illiterate.
⦁ Poor countries do not benefit from
Internet access at school for school
children or via Cyber cafes for the
general public.
⦁ The Digital Divide is seen as a
reflection of the Economic Divide
around the world.
⦁ Minority groups are the ones suffering
the most in developing countries from
this lack of access to technology. ⦁ Computers are cheaper to purchase as a
result of falling prices making them
more accessible to lower income
families.
⦁ Computers are increasingly easier to
use and require less skill to operate
them, making it a less complex task to
those with lower skills.
⦁ There is widespread Internet access
available to everyone in most countries
through schools and cafes.
⦁ Access to information technology
cannot be useful unless basic needs
such as health and education are met.
Conclusion

Even as technology becomes more affordable and Internet access seems increasingly ubiquitous, a “digital divide” between rich and poor remains. The rich and educated are still more likely than others to have good access to digital resources according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project. The digital divide has especially far-reaching consequences when it comes to education. For children in low-income school districts, inadequate access to technology can hinder them from learning the tech skills that are crucial to success in today’s economy and for personal advancement.

Analyze your sources carefully, and consider the following issues: what can these sources tell us about their era.

Write an 8-10 page (double-spaced, 12-point font, 1-inch margins) that uses at least two primary sources to analyze an event or issue from American history since World War II. 

Historians rely on primary sources to construct a picture of the past. During the 20th century, the number of primary sources became vast. While historians of the more distant past struggle to piece together the historical record, historians of recent America encounter more sources than they could possibly examine. 

Primary sources are sources created at the time of a particular event. (They are thus different from secondary sources, which include books and articles written about an event after the fact. Martin Luther King’s Letter from Birmingham City Jail is a primary source about the Civil Rights movement; Taylor Branch’s book, Parting the Waters, is a secondary source.)

Primary sources include newspaper accounts, magazine articles, news footage, advertisements, movies, television broadcasts, government reports and documents, letters, diaries, literature, paintings, songs, and artifacts. If you are unsure about the difference between primary and secondary sources, you should discuss your sources with me. 

Locate at least two sources pertaining to your topic. These sources could be from a newspapers, magazines, letters, diaries, speeches, films, TV broadcasts, court cases, etc. Analyze your sources carefully, and consider the following issues: what can these sources tell us about their era? Who created them? For what audience were they intended? For what purpose? How do these sources add to or alter our understanding of American history? How do they confirm or change what you know about the topic from textbooks or other sources.

Historians depend on serendipity (read: dumb luck) and browsing (read: long, tedious hours of fruitless scrounging) to locate sources. I urge you to peruse the library for sources on your topic, since you never know what you may find. Another way to locate sources is to check the footnotes and bibliographies of books and other secondary sources on your subject. And, of course, I am happy to suggest sources as well. 

Some good journalistic sources include Life, Newsweek, Time, and The New York Times. Many American history websites contain excellent sources for doing recent American history. 

 

Attach your sources to your essay. If your sources are lengthy, you can attach only the key passages.

“The 1960s: A Decade of Promise and Heartbreak”

By Kenneth T. Walsh

March 9, 2010 US News

 

It was a decade of extremes, of transformational change and bizarre contrasts: flower children and assassins, idealism and alienation, rebellion and backlash. For many in the massive post-World War II baby boom generation, it was both the best of times and the worst of times. (7 words)

There will be many 50-year anniversaries to mark significant events of the 1960s, and a big reason is that what happened in that remarkable era still resonates today. At the dawn of that decade of contrasts a half century ago—on Jan. 2 ,1960—a charismatic young senator from Massachusetts named John F. Kennedy announced that he was running for president, and he won the nation’s highest office the following November. He remains one of the iconic figures in U.S. history. On February 1, four determined black men sat at a whites-only lunch counter at a Woolworth’s in Greensboro, N.C., and were denied service. Their act of defiance triggered a wave of sit-ins for civil rights across the South and brought unrelenting national attention to America’s original sin of racism. On March 3, Elvis Presley returned to the United States from his Army stint in Germany, resuming his career as a pioneer of rock-and-roll and an icon of the youth culture celebrating freedom and a growing sense of rebellion.(5 words)

By the end of the decade, Kennedy had been assassinated, along with his brother Robert and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. America’s cities had become powder kegs as African-Americans, despite historic gains toward legal equality, became more impatient than ever at being second-class citizens. Women began demanding their rights in unprecedented numbers. Young people and their parents felt a widening generation gap as seen in their differing perceptions of patriotism, drug use, sexuality, and the work ethic. The now familiar culture wars between liberals and conservatives caused angry divisions over law and order, busing, racial preferences, abortion, the Vietnam War, and America’s use of military force abroad. Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona lost the 1964 presidential election to Democratic liberal Lyndon Johnson, but his campaign sowed the seeds of a new conservatism that eventually brought Ronald Reagan to power in 1980. (4words)

” ‘The Sixties,’ for conservatives, were an explosion of puerile irresponsibility and fashionable rebellion, the wellspring of today’s ubiquitous identity politics, debased high culture, sexual permissiveness, and censorious political correctness,” says social policy essayist Bruce Bawer. “For liberals, the period was a desperately needed corrective that drew attention to America’s injustices and started us down the road toward greater fairness and equality for all.” (2 words).

Adding to the pervasive sense of change were a host of technological breakthroughs. The United States and the Soviet Union began exploring the solar system with rockets and satellites. The Soviets sent the first man into space, in 1961, accelerating a “space race” between the superpowers that reached its apex when, on July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 landed on the moon. U.S. astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface and said, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” (2 words)

By the end of the decade, television had gone from a novelty to the dominant medium of the age and one of the most profound communications tools ever. In 1961, the laser was perfected. In 1965, the Houston Astrodome, the world’s first roofed stadium, was built. In 1967, the first heart transplant was performed by Christiaan Barnard in Cape Town, South Africa, opening up remarkable new vistas in medicine. Also in 1967, the first hand-held calculator was invented by Texas Instruments, at a cost of $2,500 each. (2 words)

In social terms, the number of college students doubled between 1940 and 1960 to 3.6 million, creating a huge pool of high-minded if sometimes misguided activists with the motivation and time to devote to political and social causes. Society moved ever more rapidly from the industrial age to an economy dominated by service and white-collar work, creating more dislocation and a profound sense of disorientation. The environmental movement was born. A key factor was the 1962 publication of Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring, which warned that many forms of life on Earth would die because of pollution and lethal chemicals released by human beings and their industries. (3 words)

Explain why a college-educated person might have different duties to society than someone not as educated.

WEEK 2 – DISCUSSION 1
Final Research Project Topic
Prepare: As you prepare to write your response to this discussion assignment, it will be in your best interest to review the following resources:
Develop a Research Topic
Incorporate Sources into Your Research Paper
And in the Ashford University Library, search tutorials titled Picking Your Topic IS Research and Database Search Tips.
Reflect: When considering a research topic, consider an interesting topic that is worth further research. For instance, having a strong opinion on a specific topic may deter you from thinking more critically, and therefore the research might end up being one-sided. It is a good idea to pick a topic in which you can provide a good argument for both sides of the societal issue.
Write: The first step in the research process is selecting a topic that is both interesting and manageable. For this discussion:
⦁ Review the Final Research Project instructions in Week Five, and identify two potential research topics. Keep in mind that you will choose just one for the Week Three Annotated Bibliography assignment and the Final Research Project.
⦁ Describe methods to use in identifying and narrowing your research paper topic.
⦁ Examine and summarize information from at least two scholarly sources for one of the topics that may prove valuable as you seek to defend your claims regarding your chosen topic.
⦁ Address why scholarly sources should be used to support your writing on the selected topic.
⦁ Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly sources, and properly cite any references.
⦁ Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length.
Respond to Peers: Review your classmates’ posts, and respond to at least two of your peers by Day 7. In each response, provide comments on your classmate’s topic idea and ask a question that prompts your classmate to think more critically about how to explore the research topic in more detail. Each participation post should be a minimum of 75 words.
Week 2 – Assignment

Information Literacy – Ashford University Library Experience
Knowing how to thoroughly research a topic is extremely important while achieving your education. You may be asked to support your information with peer-reviewed scholarly resources, but how can you find this type of resource? The Ashford University Library allows you to search through different avenues to find the requested types of resources. You can narrow your search by the author, year published, title, subject, and also by indicating what type of resource you are looking for. You even have access to a librarian if you need some guidance in finding more resources on your topic.
In a two- to three-paragraph response
⦁ Describe your experiences using resources, including concerns encountered when conducting academic research through the Ashford University Library. Areas of concern may include developing a research strategy, using the search function within a database, or evaluating sources.
⦁ Explain how using the Ashford University Library has improved your experience in conducting research.
The response must be formatted according to APA style. Each paragraph should be at least five sentences. For information regarding APA, including samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center.
Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

Week 5 – Final Research Project

Final Research Project
The topic of your project needs to be a contemporary societal problem, such as healthcare reform, immigration reform, privacy rights, euthanasia, First Amendment Rights, stem cell research, capital punishment, corporate prisons, legalizing drugs, ageism, animal rights, cloning, prayer in schools, racial profiling, recycling/conservation, sexism, outsourcing jobs, workplace bullying, etc. The topic must focus on a single aspect, as in “How far do corporations intrude into the private lives of their employers?” or “The social costs of financing the distribution of custom-designed drugs.” You may suggest another topic to use, but the instructor must approve the topic during the Week Two Discussion.
The Final Research Project will present research relating the responsibilities of a critical thinker to contemporary society. In this assignment, you will do the following:
⦁ Research one aspect of a contemporary social problem.
⦁ Define the problem.
⦁ Propose a possible solution for the problem.
⦁ Create an argument that supports your thesis position. You should take on the perspective of a critically thinking researcher. The argument must present a thesis statement and evidence to support the thesis statement.
⦁ Evaluate the ethical outcomes that result from the position you take on the issue and explain how those outcomes would influence society and culture.
⦁ Interpret statistical data from at least two peer-reviewed scholarly sources.
⦁ Evaluate evidence using the following standards: validity, reliability, and bias related to the chosen topic and accurately identify strengths and weaknesses.
Research and Define the Problem
You must take on the perspective of your major field of study and explain in your paper what that perspective is and how it informs your view of the topic. The topics listed above are far too broad to write about in 10–12 pages (3,300–3,900 words). Instead, you must choose a narrowly defined thesis and approach it from the perspective of your field.
Example: If you are an economics major, and you are interested in immigration reform, you should approach a very specific aspect of immigration reform through the lens of economic theory and practice. A specific thesis question would not be, “How does illegal immigration influence the U.S. economy?” One could write thousands of pages on such a topic. Instead, a better question would be, “How do illegal immigrant hotel workers in Chicago impact the economy of Northern Illinois?” You would then want to do the research and determine the positive and negative impacts they have, ultimately trying to conclude how illegal immigration in this area should be approached ethically.
How to Hone Your Thesis: It is important that you start your research early in this course. Try to find the most important contemporary questions and theories in your field of study and then align the most important questions with a very specific aspect of the general topics above. For example, if you are a psychology major, you might want to start thinking within the realm of healthcare reform or aspects of mental health and criminality in the prison system.
Your Argument
You must present a complete argument, including a major claim with at least five points of evidence, information, or data that will prove the claim.
⦁ The thesis statement must be
⦁ A clear, simple declarative sentence as the first or last sentence in the opening paragraph of the essay.
⦁ Of such a nature that it can be substantiated, corroborated, verified, and proved through appeal to primary or secondary academic research source materials.
⦁ The introductory paragraph must
⦁ Present the thesis statement, an explanation for the importance of the topic, and its relation to the student’s field of study.
⦁ Beliefs, opinions, and personal opinions must not be introduced at any point in the essay.
⦁ All beliefs and opinions should be supported with academic evidence. Sweeping generalizations with no supporting academic evidence do not reflect adequate critical thinking skills.
⦁ Do not include rhetorical questions in your essays. All the questions that are pertinent to your project need to be answered in your essay and your answers again need to be supported with evidence from peer-reviewed journal articles and academically published books.
Attributes of Good Critical Thinking in Papers
⦁ Your paper should include academic sources that explain multiple sides of the issue.
⦁ The evidence that you use should come from high-level researchers engaged in your field of study.
⦁ Your interpretations of the evidence should be objective and state the conclusions and theses presented in the evidence clearly and fairly.
⦁ Your paper should place the various forms of evidence in relation to one another and demonstrate why one form or perspective is stronger than the other positions that one could take on the issue.
⦁ Your paper should point out the limitations of current evidence and attempt to indicate areas for future research.
Ethical Outcomes of the Position You Take
After you have defined the problem and created an argument about how one ought to respond to the issue, you need to explain the ethical outcomes of the position you have taken. This should again be in relation to the field of study in which you are working. There might be different ethical outcomes that result from your analysis. For example, going back to the example issue above, from an economic standpoint, illegal immigrants might contribute positively to the economy of Northern Illinois in a specific number of ways. Thus, an economist who believes that positive impact to the economy is the greatest good would say that one should promote the use of illegal immigrants. However, because these workers are often paid less than others and eliminate jobs that could be done by residents of Chicago, there could be other negative ethical outcomes that would outweigh the positive impacts to the economy. It is your goal to draw out the ethical implications of your thesis and explain the underlying rationale that is the foundation for your claim that one action is better than another.
⦁ Critical thinkers are those who can outline the positive and negative ethical impacts of their positions. In addition, they are able to provide a rationale for why they believe a specific position is the right position, even when it leads to negative outcomes.
⦁ Critical thinkers are also able to be honest and objective about the limitations and gray areas that pertain to their theses.
Final Research Project Requirements
The Final Research Project may be presented as a formal research paper (essay format), a PowerPoint presentation, a video, or a podcast equivalent to a minimum of 10 – 12 pages in APA format (approximately 3,300 – 3,900 typewritten words, excluding title page and reference pages). Written essays must adhere to all APA formatting standards and requirements, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
PowerPoint presentations must include the full text (at least 3,300 words) in the speaker notes portion of the slides, with appropriate citations, and full reference pages. PowerPoint presentations must adhere to the basic principles of PowerPoint presentation design and must include citations and references according to APA standards and requirements.
Videos and podcasts must include a full transcript, in APA format, including appropriate in-text citations and a references page.
Quotations:
There must be no more than 15% quoted content in the body of your essay. All quoted material must bear quotation marks and a full quotation citation.
Source Documents:
⦁ There must be 10 or more source documents used, cited, and referenced.

⦁ Where print documents are used for source materials, those must be peer-reviewed, scholarly journal articles, and academically published books. Popular media sources (e.g., newspapers, magazines, television and radio shows, etc.) may not be used. Materials from advocacy groups (e.g., Greenpeace, Human Rights Campaign, National Organization for Women, etc.) may not be used.
⦁ Two of the peer-reviewed scholarly sources used must include statistical evidence, which must be accurately interpreted.
⦁ Sites such as ProCon.org and Wikipedia should not be used.
⦁ Religious texts are neither peer-reviewed nor scholarly and so may not be used in any way.
Summary Conclusion:
You must have a summary conclusion as the last paragraph(s) of the project, presenting the major point of the essay and the evidence supporting that point.
Word Count:
The content body of the project must be 3,300 words or more. The word count does not include anything in the title page, running header, or reference list. It is expected that you meet all logistical requirements of this paper.
Reference List:
⦁ The list of references must include only those source documents that are cited within the body of the project.
⦁ The project must fully comply with APA formatting standards and requirements as outlined in the ⦁ Ashford Writing Center: title page, running header with page numbers, font face and size, line spacing, citations, and reference page(s).
Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.
