Research Project:
Explore an ethical or social issue surrounding some aspect of information technology
Overview and Final Draft Specifications
You will develop your Research Project in a series of clearly-defined, manageable steps over the four weeks of the course.
One of our course objectives in ILR 260 is to “explore ethical and social issues surrounding information technology”, and your research projects—pieces of which you will share with classmates—will serve this objective and become part of the content of the course.
Often students will select projects that relate to their academic majors or current jobs, but this is not a formal requirement. The most important thing is to pursue a research question that genuinely interests you. Information technology now touches just about every area of life. The point of your paper will be to craft a response, however preliminary, to a real question about some aspect of information technology. A “real” question is one that has no single, straightforward answer, and that will require you, in addressing the question, to draw upon and synthesize information from a variety of sources.
Questions that lend themselves to simple explanatory or “how-to” answers (for example, “What is Twitter?” or “How can people protect their computers from hackers?”) will not work for this assignment.
Questions that will work for this assignment appear at the end of this document. Choose/modify one of these for your own Research Project. Or, if there is nothing on this list that engages your interest or that can be modified to engage your interest, go ahead and propose a question that does not appear on the list but that addresses some other ethical or social issue related to information technology.
In interpreting one of the questions below, or in crafting a new question, make sure that your inquiry is not overly broad. Ask yourself:
* Could an entire book potentially be written on this question? If so, the question is too broad for a short research paper.
* Does the question contain multiple components? If so, select one component to focus on in your paper. (Hint: If your question includes a comma, it is probably too broad.)
As you develop the project, keep in mind that our focus in ILR 260 is inquiry, not argumentation. Argumentation is a worthy area of study and is a focus of other courses you may take at the university. In your ILR 260 research project, however, your primary goal is to explore your research question with depth and sophistication rather than to persuade an audience of a particular viewpoint. While you will need to propose some sort of answer to your question in the final version of your project, that answer may be tentative. It may, for example, point in the direction of further questions and further research. It may identify contradictions in your research that are at this time irresolvable. Again, in writing this paper, focus on exploring, interpreting, and synthesizing ideas rather than on “defending” a thesis.

Research Project: The Future of the City
The Research project section of English 100 will focus on the present and future of the city. For your Research Essay, you are asked to write a research about King Abdullah Economic City and develop a research question related to your topic.
Sample topics include the following:
–New technologies; domestic connectivity

–Transportation; infrastructure
–Social media; communities; digital futures; virtual reality
–Aspects of urbanization or city planning in a particular city
Building on class conversations throughout the term, and on scholarly conversations through your research, your final paper should form an argument in response to the question you develop about your topic. Your argument should incorporate and summarize (at least) three scholarly sources—journal articles or books— relevant to your topic and question. You should also incorporate relevant examples as evidence for your claims. You may use non-scholarly sources in your essay but they do not count toward the required three scholarly sources

Your Research Essay should be approximately 2000 words—around 8 typed, double-spaced pages—and formatted in Times New Roman 12 pt. or a similar-sized font. It should include a title (but no title page necessary) and a Works Cited page. Please underline your thesis statement. The research essay will be evaluated on: the substance of its investigation of the topic; its argument development; organization; effective incorporation of and summary of scholarly sources; effective use of evidence; and sentence-level proficiency.

Task 6.2
Importance of the allocation of responsibilities
In industry there are approaches to improve the working environment by involving employees. Among the tools to assign responsibilities to individuals in business, and thus ensure greater involvement of these decisions, they are:
• Quality Circles
• autonomous work groups
• Training for awareness (training group T)
These and other techniques can be implemented in the company with the sole purpose of achieving the improvement of the working environment by involving employees. The results should be seen immediately: increased motivation, there is less job turnover, decreased absenteeism, fewer complaints, generally no greater job satisfaction.Instructions:
1. To make the following activity think of a business or company you would like to have.
2. Once you have the business or company in mind, prepare a whirlwind of ideas on how you could improve the quality of working life in it.
3. Assume now nothing is being done about it and that you have entrusted this responsibility as a special project.
4. Write ten (10) ideas on how to improve the working environment by involving employees. Every idea is worth 5 points
5. Argues why these ideas will result in greater job satisfaction.
6. Write your argument not less than one (1) paragraph of 4-5 sentences.
7. Watch your spelling and grammar.

Is there a difference then between a “unique” design, or art creation, and one that gets mass produced? (I think of Andy Warhol here who blurred this distinction with his many prints, for example.) When this happens, do we then move into a different category from the “arts” as we have explored the past few weeks.? Explain.
