The purpose of this assignment is to help you gain information from a different perspective about disability. In order to do this, you will conduct an interview and analyze the results of your interview from an educated and professional perspective. The following is a task analysis for completing this assignment:

Step 1:  Identify either an individual with a disability (can be from any of the categories), or an adult who works with an individual(s) with a disability (e.g. a teacher, supervisor, camp counselor, coach).

Step 2: Select an interview topic (what do you want more information on from this person— Inclusion? Public Schools? Civil rights? A political topic?  You can select anything, but try make it relevant to the individual you will be interviewing and class topics).  Develop anywhere from 10-15 “deep thinking” questions to ask this individual (including potential brief follow up questions based on responses given), with the understanding that questions may be added, deleted, or modified during the actual interview itself. Record the interview with your cell phone or laptop.

Step 3:   Transcribe the entire interview, word for word from the recording. Include this transcript with your analysis. Warning! This is a time consuming, laborious process. Recruit the help of family, friends, or computer technology if possible. This typed complete transcript should be included as an appendix of your paper. All names can be changed to pseudonyms to protect the anonymity of your interviewee.

Step 4:  Analyze the results of your interview. When formulating your written analysis, think about the topic of your interview, and how the results contrast to class discussion and personal experiences. What kind of insight did this person’s responses provide you with into both the topic and themselves?  As part of your analysis include a minimum of 5-6 reference sources. Half of these sources must be from refereed journal articles or scholarly essays. The remaining references may come from trade sources such as Time Magazine, The Buffalo News, internet sites or blogs, shows like Dateline NBC, or PBS. In summary consider the following: As a result of this interview, have you learned anything about having a disability and how it perhaps affected the person’s responses to your question—how, what? Your analysis should be about 5-6 pages of typed doublespaced text (this does not include your transcription) using standard 12 point font and margins.

Explain what the issue is, the different positions that are defended with respect to the issue (e.g. for or against), the central arguments made by each side, and lastly, use three different normative ethical theories to explain why the relevant action(s) would be considered right or wrong.

Explain what the issue is, the different positions that are defended with respect to the issue (e.g. for or against), the central arguments made by each side, and lastly, use three different normative ethical theories to explain why the relevant action(s) would be considered right or wrong.

Normative ethical theories:

Egoism, Utilitarianism, Kantianism, Social Contract Theory, Virtue Ethics, Natural Law Theory, Divine Command Theory). What would a utilitarian say about the issue? A Kantian? While introducing the issue, you might want to provide a brief history of the issue (1 or 2 paragraphs).

Structure the paper so that the first 2 pages are introductory with the remaining pages dedicated to applying the ethical theories to the issue at hand. Feel free to separate sections with their own headings (e.g. Introduction, Conclusion, Utilitarianism, Kantianism, etc.). Your research paper should draw from at least four different sources, only one of which should be an encyclopedia entry.

The current Windows administrators are unsure about administering Linux systems. How are common tasks, such as process monitoring and management, handled in Linux? How does logging work? Do we have event logs like we do in Windows?

/in /by

Faster Computing was impressed with your presentation. The company is interested in moving forward with the project, but the senior management team has responded to the presentation with the following questions and concerns:

(12.3.2: Describe the implementation of controls.)
• How will security be implemented in the Linux systems—both workstations and servers?
(10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.)
• End users have expressed some concern about completing their day-to-day tasks on Linux. How would activities such as web browsing work? How would they work with their previous Microsoft Office files?
(12.4.1: Document how IT controls are monitored.)
• The current Windows administrators are unsure about administering Linux systems. How are common tasks, such as process monitoring and management, handled in Linux? How does logging work? Do we have event logs like we do in Windows?
(2.3.2: Incorporate relevant evidence to support the position.)
• Some folks in IT raised questions about the Linux flavor that was recommended. They would like to see comparisons between your recommendation and a couple of other popular options. What makes your recommendation the best option?
(10.1.3: Define the specifications of the required technologies.)
• How does software installation work on Linux? Can we use existing Windows software?
• How can Linux work together with the systems that will continue to run Windows? How will we share files between the different system types?
The deliverable for this phase of the project is a memo, but all of the questions must be fully answered with sufficient detail. The recommended format is to respond to the questions in a bulleted format. Provide sufficient detail to fully address the questions. You must cite at least two quality sources.
(1.2.3: Explain specialized terms or concepts to facilitate audience comprehension.)
Create a memorandum template with a header of your own design or choosing, brief introduction, addresses Faster Computing, Inc’s questions, and summarizes your position on adopting the specific version of Linux.
(1.4.3: Write concise and logical sentences in standard academic English that clarify relationships among concepts and ideas.)
Your memorandum should not include spelling or grammatical errors. Any Linux commands must be displayed in lower case. Information technology acronyms (e.g., SSH or FTP) should be explained for the reader.

Define “public relations” and “marketing,” then explain why these two management functions often are confused.  In your answer, point out the major difference that distinguishes the two functions.

/in /by

Introduces the concept of contemporary public relations and defines terms often confused with the practice; describes what practitioners do in their various roles; gives their work context by explaining how organizational settings and other factors affect their work; and describes how the practice evolved, identifies those who led the evolution, and traces the origins of current practice.

Define “public relations” and “marketing,” then explain why these two management functions often are confused.  In your answer, point out the major difference that distinguishes the two functions.

Answer guide: Refer to text definitions on pages 7 and 9. Answers should identify confusing use of titles, lack of clear understanding of the differences between the two functions on the part of both managers and practitioners, and public relations practitioners responding to demand for marketing communication—typically taking the form of product publicity (pages 8 and 9).

Because public relations staff often are the ones with experience in attracting media coverage and in media relations, they are called on to assist with the marketing effort. The major distinction between the two functions is the nature of the relationship involved. Marketing focuses on exchange relationships with customers, in which an exchange of things of value are exchanged. In the case of public relations, a multitude of relationships are established and maintained with a wide range of organizational public.

Contrast publicity with advertising. In your answer, address issues related to message control, expense, and relationship to marketing.

Answer guide: Practitioners have no control over what happens to their publicity (p. 11 and 12).

It may be trashed, altered or used as is, but it is relatively inexpensive because they don’t have to pay the media to use the information. Practitioners can control their messages in advertising (p. 12 and 13).

Media will use advertising as submitted because practitioners pay for the time or space. Thus, it is more expensive. Most advertising messages are designed to sell goods and services to customers targeted by marketing, but some—advertorials—are designed to a reach other public with public relations messages. Most publicity messages are designed to reach other than customer public with public relations messages, but product publicity (p. 9) targets customers as part of the marketing strategy.

Evaluate a fictitious organization and develop a set of operating system requirements and a comprehensive recommendation for that organization. The goal is to leverage the cumulative knowledge you acquire in each module of this course to map operating system components to organizational challenges. Each module will have a conceptual base. You will then complete a hands-on lab by leveraging the workstation you are using to take this course. Later, you can apply the knowledge of the specific operating system commands in those labs to write about how the commands would be applied in a real-world analysis of an operating system’s capabilities. Review the Top Secret, Inc. scenario below carefully to understand the nature of the problem. They make a fine product, yet they cannot use it effectively to run their own operation. Consider the differences between a simple single-purpose operating system and a general-purpose operating system and how the concepts you are learning in this course can help Top Secret, Inc. find a solution.
Scenario: Top Secret, Inc. (TSI) is a successful operating system company whose customers include Fortune 500 companies, governments throughout the world, and major U.S. contractors. TSI makes embedded operating systems for secure terminals that control ingress/egress control systems for Wall Street firms, camera systems for drone aircraft for government contractors, and alarm systems for top-secret government installations. TSI operating systems are worldrenowned for their quick response to sensor input, highly reliable operation, limited memory utilization, small size on disk, and low power consumption.
The TSI Operating System (TSI OS) works exceptionally well on the devices owned by TSI customers, but it does not work well in the TSI back office. Like many startup companies, TSI had to cut costs when it launched a few years ago. To save money, the company decided not to use enterprise-class operating systems for its own workstations and servers. Instead, it chose to use a single-purpose TSI OS, reasoning that TSI OS was good enough for TSI customers, so it should be good enough for TSI. Unfortunately, TSI OS lacks many features of a modern operating system and does not take advantage of the architectural optimizations present in the latest hardware.
