Look at Henry David Thoreau’s “Resistance to Civil
Look at Henry David Thoreau’s “Resistance to Civil Government.” He claims that it is not just our right as Americans, but it is also our duty to defy unjust laws. This is a very American idea. Part of the American identity involves intervening in the face of injustice. Do you agree with this point? What boundaries should exist to those interventions? Support your claims using “Resistance to Civil Government” AND one of the other assigned readings from this week.

NARRATED POWERPOINT PRESENTATION
Narrated PowerPoint Presentation
Social, Cultural, and Ethical Issues
For your Final Project, you will create a PowerPoint presentation based on a topic from your current field of study. Since this is a fully online course and we do not meet in person in a traditional classroom setting, you will need to narrate this presentation so it can be viewed electronically.
To assist in the completion of your Final Project, some of the required pieces are included in this course as Milestones. These Milestones are completed throughout the course by the student and the instructor will provide feedback for each Milestone, in order to help the student better the overall quality of their project. See below where the milestones align with the Final Project requirements.
Topic:
Choose a social, cultural, or ethical issue related to your current major or field of study. Chose ONE area to focus on. For example, you cannot talk about ethics in healthcare, public safety, or IT in general. You would need to pick a single ethical issue to discuss and not just ethics in general. (Discussion 2)
Research:
Conduct a search using both internet and library database resources. You must use at least 3 sources, one of which must be from the library database. Keep track of these sources! You will need to include a reference slide at the end of your presentation. (Milestone 4)
Content:
Create a NARRATED PowerPoint presentation that contains between 12 to 18 slides. You must add your voice using the narration feature in PPT. Include the following:
Title Slide (1 slide) – includes your name and the presentation title.
Introduction Slide (1 slide) – should be something catchy and explain why this issue is important.
Body/Content Slides (8-14 slides) – must be interesting, well organized, and presented clearly. Slides should not contain full sentences/paragraphs.
Summary Slide (1 slide) – may also include a way for others to get involved, help, or get more information.
Reference Slide (1 slide) – must be in APA style and be a minimum of 3 resources. When including hyperlinks in the reference list, they must be hyperlinked. (Milestone 4)
PowerPoint Elements:
Include the following PowerPoint elements:
Apply a single theme or design template.
Apply a transition to each slide.
Do NOT use animation.
Provide at least one hyperlink to a video or useful online article, this does not include hyperlinks in citation/reference slide.
Use at least 5 open or royalty free images, cite the image on the bottom of the slide where the image exists (Milestone 6)
Use smart art at least one time.
Include an original graph, copied and pasted from Excel (do not include it as a picture, be sure to copy and paste from Excel). (Milestone 5)
Include a footer on each slide with the slide number and your last name.
Narration:
To earn full points, your presentation must be narrated. Do NOT read word for word from your slides. Slides should only contain bulleted information, but full sentences should be spoken. The narration audio should start automatically when you start the slideshow and should continue through the entire presentation.
Submission:
Please upload your completed PowerPoint project.

Hello everyone,
For this week’s discussion, I chose to cover the Cambridge Analytica Scandal involving 87 million Facebook users’ data being illegally obtained and sold for political purposes. While on its face, this scandal seems like it was only Cambridge Analytica that was in the wrong for illegally obtaining users’ data. But Facebook was also in the wrong since it allowed Cambridge Analytica to create an app to collect users’ data once they agreed to allow access to their Facebook profile. Cambridge Analytica also exploited a loophole which gave them access to those users’ friends’ data as well. While Facebook explicitly forbade companies from selling the data that they obtained from users, Facebook didn’t really have the controls in place to ensure that companies would not sell users’ data. As a result Facebook apologized profusely and was fined £500,000 (about $643,000) by the U.K.’s Information Commissioner’s Office for the data breach.
Since your company has a similar issue where an outside contractor was inadvertently allowed access to a large chunk of our users’ data and has subsequently sold this data to the highest bidder, I believe there are some better steps you can take to ensure this breach of security does not happen again. I believe you should make privacy a priority and reassure all of your users that this particular issue will never occur again. You should also offer at least a year trial of identity protection software. Next we need to give more control to our users on what data they allow us to collect. While we may have some users that won’t allow any data collection, I still believe that there will be a good amount of users that would still appreciate targeted ads and will allow us some data collection. Lastly, to ensure no more data breaches, your best bet is to keep all data maintenance in-house, while also performing more routine security audits to make sure this is not a recurring issue.

Hello All,
For my example I have chosen to study the case of Amazon.com and its discrimination allegations. A former Amazon manager alleges that she was told by a supervisor to scour applicants social medias in order to determine race and gender regardless of what was filled out on the application. She alleges that wasn’t told to make a decision based off of their race or gender put rather to make sure the application was correct. The amazon employee filed a lawsuit with Amazon after she was fired for retaliation against her supervisors demands (Burke, 2020; Imdorf, 2017). Discrimination is something Amazon has been accused of in the past. Since this incident and others in the past, Amazon has implement a board tasked with the job of ensuring that no applicants are discriminated against in the hiring process. This issue was isolated and eventually overlooked as Amazon is one of the largest growing employers in the world and has hundreds off applicants everyday.
However, if I was CEO of a international company facing similar circumstances, I would immediately email all hiring managers within the company and make them aware of the issue. I would also require each manager to give feedback with what they can do to ensure that our applicants are not discriminated against in any way shape or form. Additionally, I would enact a private business policy punishing any discrimination within the company. Any alleged discriminators will be subject to a hearing from a board of anti-discrimination experts appointed within the company. The board will be compiled of one team member from each region the company operates. The policy will be enforced by the applicants and whether or not each applicant is hired, they will be asked to take a voluntary survey of their interview and application experience. Next we would make team members and applicants aware of these efforts and do what we need to do to ensure our peers know we are non-discriminatory company.
