Topic-Question-Significance (TQS) Essay 

LENGTH:     One to two pages, Times Roman, Double-spaced, 1.25” Margins, 12 Point Font.

This essay assignment provides you an opportunity to begin thinking about your capstone proposal. This is the first of several assignments that will serve as building blocks for the capstone proposal that you will submit by the end of the semester.

The first step in this process is to write a short “TQS” essay.

Answer the following questions in one paragraph per question:

  1. Topic: Identify the topic that provides the context for your research question. It should be neither too narrow nor too broad, so that you can address your research question without losing focus. (My topic is “Understanding trust between social media users.”
  2. Question:  Identify your research question. Are there related questions that flow from your initial question? How do you justify using an interdisciplinary approach?
  3. Significance (So what?): Explain why addressing your research question is important. (“I am seeking to answer this question in order that or so that…”)

If you have more than one idea for a topic, feel free to submit multiple essays.

Make sure your essay has a single-sentence introduction. Next, the body of your essay must answer the three questions. Finally, you need a concise and creative single-sentence conclusion.

This is a formal writing assignment—you will be expected to pay attention to overall format, grammar, punctuation, documentation, and spelling.

Why is there an epidemic of single mothers?

Compose a 800-word inquiry proposal about the social issue you want to focus on for the rest of the semester. You will choose a research question about why that social issue is so important for our society to address that you will explore throughout the semester-long research project. The inquiry proposal should do the following:

  1. It should introduce the research question at the beginning of the proposal. This question should be open ended, unbiased, and able to be answered or researched. Think of questions beginning with “why” and “how.” Note: You should NOT have your mind made up already about the answer.
  2. It should discuss your knowledge of the question. This can come from what you already know and what you’ve found out through preliminary research. For preliminary research, you might interview someone, or you might search around the internet for knowledge (we’ll discuss how to do this). Do NOT quote, paraphrase, summarize, or otherwise use any sources in your paper. Your preliminary research will only be for inspiring your ideas and building your own knowledge base.
  3. It should discuss what interests you about the topic and how you want to enter into and/or contribute to the conversation happening in the related discourse community(ies).

There should be three main sections: 1.) your research question, 2.) the knowledge you’ve acquired exploring the topic, and, based on that exploration, 3.) what you hope to find through your further research. Think of it in terms of a lab report: first you pose a hypothesis, then you propose an experiment to prove/disprove that hypothesis, and finally state what exactly you expect the results of that experiment to be.

Rhetorical Situation

Genre: Proposal focused on a research question

Your role and purpose: To explore your own ideas, make plans for further research, and get your audience interested in your research project

Audience: Fellow scholars with an interest in your topic; educated but without your specialized knowledge

Style notes:

  • This is not an essay, and therefore will not have a thesis or argument.
  • Perhaps include an introduction that tells your audience and purpose.
  • You should use first person (though avoid overusing, such as beginning each statement with “I think”).
  • Consider dividing your idea exploration and research proposal using subheadings.

Choosing a Question

  • I ban a few topics and related questions because they’re difficult to research due to their discourse communities and controversial nature. These topics include abortion and gun control, as well as any topic connected with it.
  • I caution against questions that you’re either too emotionally connected with or that can easily lead to biased arguments. For instance, the question “Why is there an epidemic of single mothers?” can be biased: the word “epidemic” dehumanizes people, women tend to be blamed or stereotyped in much of the rhetoric of this topic, and the question makes assumptions about the “correct” family structure. I might ask you to reflect on potential biases when talking about your question.
  • If I tell you that you can’t use a question, understand I’m doing so for your best interest, and I’m open to discussion about the question.
  • If you don’t know what question to do, or if you feel your question is too broad, that’s completely normal. Please talk to me. I won’t give you a question, but I can help you generate ideas or find interesting ways to talk about the question.

 

 

 

Describe the manner in which your solution will protect the privacy of data transmitted across the WAN.

/in /by

Imagine you are an Information Systems Security Officer for a medium-sized financial services firm that has operations in four (4) states (Virginia, Florida, Arizona, and California). Due to the highly sensitive data created, stored, and transported by your organization, the CIO is concerned with implementing proper security controls for the LAN-to-WAN domain. Specifically, the CIO is concerned with the following areas:
Protecting data privacy across the WAN
Filtering undesirable network traffic from the Internet
Filtering the traffic to the Internet that does not adhere to the organizational acceptable use policy (AUP) for the Web
Having a zone that allows access for anonymous users but aggressively controls information exchange with internal resources
Having an area designed to trap attackers in order to monitor attacker activities
Allowing a means to monitor network traffic in real time as a means to identify and block unusual activity
Hiding internal IP addresses
Allowing operating system and application patch management
The CIO has tasked you with proposing a series of hardware and software controls designed to provide security for the LAN-to-WAN domain. The CIO anticipates receiving both a written report and diagram(s) to support your recommendations.
Use MS Visio or an open source equivalent to graphically depict a solution for the provided scenario that will:
filter undesirable network traffic from the Internet
filter Web traffic to the Internet that does not adhere to the organizational AUP for the Web
allow for a zone for anonymous users but aggressively controls information exchange with internal resources
allow for an area designed to trap attackers in order to monitor attacker activities
offer a means to monitor network traffic in real time as a means to identify and block unusual activity
hide internal IP addresses
Identify the fundamentals of public key infrastructure (PKI).
Describe the manner in which your solution will protect the privacy of data transmitted across the WAN.
Analyze the requirements necessary to allow for proper operating system and application patch management and describe a solution that would be effective.
