vHorace Mann advocated that a primary social goal of schooling is to provide moral instruction to children in order to reduce the crime rate. Today, prominent social goals of school are to promote morals and character education, to improve children’s health and nutrition and to also create school communities through extracurricular activities, after-school programs and school spirit (Spring, 2018). Many initiatives have been designed to promote the social goals of school, ranging from character education programs, programs designed to educate us on bullying, and cyberbullying, programs designed to improve school nutrition, programs designed to prevent drug and alcohol abuse, and extracurricular activities.

To help you with completing Section 3, we have provided two sample topics below:

Section 3 Example 1: Target’s Data Breach
Target’s December 2013 data breach was a public relations nightmare, but the company responded swiftly over social media, posting safety guidelines on Twitter and keeping an open dialog with its aggrieved customers.
Section 3 Example 2: Target’s Use of Big Data
Target is renowned in the industry for its data collection practices. Target maintains a customer relationship management database which includes information from in-store purchases (they link all of your purchases to a unique customer identifier) and data they collect externally (e.g. data from Facebook and other sources). Combine the two data streams and Target can predict, with a high degree of certainty, what your gender is, where you live, how far you travel to work, your relationship status, and they can even tell if you are pregnant and if so when you are due. The amount of money spent each year on pregnancy-related purchases is tremendous. In efforts to win the market share in this profit area, Target has hired a team of statisticians to perform predictive analysis. The goal, in this particular situation, is to predict which women are expecting (or soon to be), without asking them directly, by analyzing their purchasing behavior (e.g. cribs, baby clothes, prenatal vitamins, etc.). This way Target can “target” this particular demographic (with coupons, discounts, and other offers) very early, thus getting a jump on the competition.
Section 3 Sources: Include at least two sources for Section 3. Include the two sources as in-paper citations and on your References page. At least one source should be professional or scholarly.

NOTE 3: You cannot use Target in your project or any company we discussed in class (e.g. Google).

One of the foundations of this idea of democracy, is the ability of citizens to participate in the political process. This past election, voters came out in record numbers, as two-thirds of eligible voters cast 158.4 million ballots. For this discussion post, I would like for you to focus on this idea of voting and civic duty. Some have argued that voting is the duty in which all citizens must participate; while others argue that democracy centers around this idea of free will; thus, potential voters have a right not to participate if he/she wishes. So, do you think that the government should make voting mandatory? If yes, discuss why it should be mandatory. If no, discuss why it should be optional. 75 Words
