The government does not pay employees to watch videos or send personal emails; it pays them to further the government's mission. Stealing time and electronic resources from the government can be just as costly as stealing physical equipment. The security risks posed by improper computer usage can also be extremely dangerous to the Army. Browsing unauthorized websites can expose a computer to viruses or attacks from malicious hackers. Even unclassified computers may contain sensitive or FOUO information which may harm the Army.

“The Impending Demise of Net Neutrality” by Elliot D. Cohen In “The Impending Demise of Net Neutrality,” the author, Elliot D. Cohen argues that the current system of American internet usage threatens to ruin the freedom of information among individuals. He examines the historical background of net neutrality and significant court cases related to it. However, his article focuses more on inciting fear among individuals than giving solid evidence to support his arguments. He appears afraid of the private corporations who offer internet; however, at the same time, he fears the government. At times, his rhetoric borders on conspiracy theories.

Some of the security weaknesses noted in the case study includes the fact that Sony was using an older version of software (Apache Web Server) which had known security issues. This impaired the security of their firewall, allowing hackers to get in. As for control weaknesses, there were obviously not the appropriate policies or organizational procedures in place, since Sony did not know what information was stolen from their servers, the fact that it took days for Sony to inform their customers of the breach immediately shows a lack of training of their management and staff and also Sony’s delay in shutting down all of their servers at the point when they learned of the attack. If the proper policies and organizational procedures were in place, perhaps it would not have been as dramatic for Sony. 2.
If that was ever to happen then banks would not profit, which would lead to banks being afraid to make loans which would just make the economy get worse and prices would plummet.

Kasey Cleveland Mrs.Kimber ENG4U 15 January, 2013 Life Without a Human Journey is not a Life Worth Living Every being has basic rights and free will, however there are governments that in our world that take advantage of our basic human rights sometimes to the extreme extents.

This is demonstrated through examination of thought crime, doublethink and newspeak. The inhabitants of Oceania are persistently being under observation leaves them unable to embark on their human journey.
It is simply had to imagine a world today without computers since every sector of our lives depends on it today (Avizienis, Laprie, France, & Randell, 2001). Is the American society depending too much on the computer? Perhaps the use of computers in virtually all sectors of the social and economic spheres in the United States confirms important role played by computers in the nation (Wiebe). For instance, while the earlier banking sector relied was centred on manual activities, there would be a great agony if there happened to be a malfunction with the computer systems. The
Chris Caire Mrs. Pennycuff English Block 4 28 April 2011 “When Bulling Turns Deadly: Can it Be Stopped?” Later after reading John Clouds 2010 article “When Bulling Turns Deadly: Can it Be Stopped?” it was made clear that cyber bulling is and has been on the rise. Along with this growing problem there is also the matter in which cyber bulling has no distinct definition by law. Therefore it makes fighting cyber predators even harder. Cloud exclaims that everyone in society needs to be aware of this newly grown problem. Cloud expresses that the United States is falling prey to a new form of bulling and because there is no set guidelines for this new form of bulling many of young Americans are dyeing and he states that something needs to be done to stop it.
In today’s society it has become imperative to employ the expertise of both public and private police to protect the safety of our citizens, homes, and businesses. As society has changed, moving forward in technology, and crime rates have increased, it has become impossible for local law enforcement to handle the growing demand for security. Public police have no choice but to rely on the services of private police to lighten their load and decrease costs. The task of providing security to all sectors of society in need of it is simply too huge a responsibility for any one organization to be able to handle properly. However, there is some debate as to whether these two industries have a good working relationship.
