Task
Students are required to produce a report (LO8/LO7) on the following case:
The role Cambridge Analytica played in the latest American presidential election and the Brexit
referendum in the UK.
Political marketing and the use of digital media in political campaigns is not new; however, the way
Cambridge Analytica used Facebook users’ data to target users with influential contents that can lead to
favourable results to the promoted parties was labelled unethical and illegal. Were developed of key
3
players from SCL Group, the Republican Party establishment and Christopher Wylie the later whistleblower.
Micro-targeting methods were used as the company managed to acquire its dataset from social media
platforms. CA rise to prominence for high profile and right-wing causes is explained as a consequence
of successful test runs in the 2014 US mid-term elections.
The impact of Cambridge Analytica is
described in terms of the two most controversial campaigns linked to the company with the BREXIT
referendum and the 2016 US Presidential Election, as well as the other company activities. Finally,
the company’s downfall is followed chronologically through several damning newspaper articles,
culminating in the public hearing of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg in early April 2018.

You are requested to watch the video, provided in the material of this week (Facebook’s role in

research into the market and the company and from the marketing and corporate social
responsibility literature as appropriate.
Well established media (e.g. BBC, Financial Times, New York Times, etc) may be used to develop
the context of the discussion, but the material used to underpin the research and analysis should be
from academic books and/or peer reviewed academic journals.

The researched essay must be a formal persuasive essay arguing for a clear position on your topic; in addition, it must be supported by adequate levels of appropriately scholarly research. Be sure to include quotes and/or paraphrases as well as a Works Cited page for your sources. Much of the foundational work for this aspect of your paper should have been done in your Annotated Bibliography assignment.
Be sure to use the writing process as you write and develop your essay; remember that it is fine for the paper to deviate from your original direction as you write, so long as you make sure the focus of the finished product is consistent throughout itself. While preparing the essay, be sure to refer to the course lecture materials as needed, and remember that writing is a process–you should expect to write multiple drafts in order to create a successful paper.

Discuss the practice of testing software and the importance of testing when it relates to software used in the medical field for patient procedures and treatments.

CIS
120 DF: Listed below are topic(s) I would
like for each of you to discuss throughout the week.Put your writing into your own
words, do not copy directly from the source. If you incorporate
external resources (http://gmcga.libguides.com/periodicals) in
your posts be sure to cite (https://gmcga.libguides.com/citationmanagement/APA7th) them
properly. Lastly, review how to paraphrase and quote resources before you
begin posting (http://gmcga.libguides.com/c.php?g=458&p=996448).

Ethics
Consider the issue of
testing software as a part of the design process. The types of testing include
a variety of processes that include the initial processes of detecting syntax
errors and desk checking for logic errors. The next steps are to complete unit
testing within the program or module to find execution errors, then integration
testing that tests the program along with any programs that depend on the
program to make sure they work properly together, and the final step is system
testing to make sure the program works as expected within the system. The
testing process is complex and should include developers, IT staff, and most
importantly the operators of the system.
Discuss the practice
of testing software and the importance of testing when it relates to software
used in the medical field for patient procedures and treatments. Discuss your
viewpoint on software errors and the risks of these errors that could
negatively impact the health of patients. Consider the ethical issues
associated with negative outcomes due to software errors. Review the Ethical
Issues section regarding the Therac-25: Anatomy of a Disaster at the end of
Chapter 18 to gain some real-world perspective.
