Various reform groups with various causes developed in the US in the late 1800s and early 1900s; these are loosely called “Progressives” as they aimed to use government policies or science to improve and advance society. Also, this period was a time when the US started as a major player in international conflicts—first in the “Spanish American War and then in World War I. There were deep isolationist sentiments about such overseas entanglements, and President Wilson first has one position and then the other.

 

Choose and discuss (in a full paragraph or two) one of the following two topics related to the late 1800s and early 1900s.

 

1. In the Progressive Era (roughly 1890–1920), multiple groups advocated for reforms in various aspects of government, society, and the economy. Discuss here the “muckrakers” and Taylor’s “scientific management”.    
   • Explain briefly the approach and aim of the “muckrakers” and that of F. W. Taylor.
   • Compare their approaches and describe your feelings about them, and relate some modern situation that reminds you of one of these approaches and reform causes.
   • Identify the source(s) where you read about the reform cause.
2. From the text, Wilson did not maintain his own campaign slogan (“He kept us out of war”).    
   • Explain with some specifics why Wilson became pro-war. Describe your own feelings on that issue when you look back at it, and whether he was right to change.
   • Briefly, identify a similar international consideration today—or of the last 20 years, and what lesson might be drawn from the example in Wilson’s time.
   • Identify the source(s) where you read about Wilson.

• Complete a concept analysis on one of the following topics. Utilize the Overcoming concept analysis as an example. This part of the assignment should be at least 1000 words and contain the following parts: Introduction, Definition and Uses of the Concept, Defining Attributes, Antecedents, Consequences, Model Case, Borderline Case, Contrary Case, and Implications for Nursing Practice. Your chosen defining attributes should be clearly identified in each of the three cases. 
  • Hope
  • Caring
  • Trust
  • Teamwork
• Appraise ways in which your nursing practice (patient care, education, research, administration, etc.) has been influenced by nursing (or borrowed) theory.

 

The assignment should be between 1500 and 2000 words in length and contain at least two scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook and provided material.  Please submit your assignment in one APA formatted document.

After the end of World War I, overall economic growth exploded in the US in the early 1920s, but then there was a severe economic breakdown with the Great Depression of 1929-1939.

 

Choose and discuss (in a full paragraph or two) one of the following two topics related to the 1920s and1930s.

 

1. The textbook highlights the significant emergence of new cultural trends due to improved technology (radio, movies, photography) and the spread of books & magazines (writers) in the “roaring” 1920s as well as in the 1930s, and also to new movements like the Harlem Renaissance, consumerism, and new “norms” for women.    
   • Consider the new technology of radio and photography. With specific examples from the 1920s, discuss how these new technologies helped one of the movements and trends above.
   • Explain whether you think this helped to develop a more unified national culture or more individuality, and identify a similar example today with technology helping a trend or movement.
   • Identify the source(s) where you read about the trend of the 1920s.
2. The Great Depression (1929-1939) was one of the most devastating economic downturns that America has ever experienced. Determine whether you believe that the federal responses to the Great Depression by President Franklin Roosevelt encouraged real economic growth and confidence or whether the arguments by critics of the day were accurate that it made the Depression last longer.    
   • Identify your position and support it with at least two specific examples of New Deal responses.
   • Provide a rationale for your response.
   • From this historical experience, identify any lessons for today for handling or avoiding severe economic downturns in the U.S. economy.
   • Identify the source(s) where you read about the New Deal responses.

Authentication ensures only authorized users are allowed into an organization’s network. As threats become more sophisticated, it is critical to have strong authentication in place from the policy, process, and technology perspective. Research identification and authorization, comparing and contrasting their strengths and weaknesses.

 

Describe the various mechanisms for implementing authentication to access a network. Why is single factor authentication not enough protection in today’s network environment? What are some of the newer methods that address this deficiency?

 

Discuss how integration of Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) can improve authentication capabilities in your chosen organization.

Assignment Content

1. Once a user is authenticated in an organization’s network, that user is authorized to access certain data based on the information security principle of least privilege. 
   Your CEO and CIO need options for the organization’s authentication and authorization methodologies. Recommendations should include how to mitigate the impact and risks from vulnerabilities.

   • Descriptions of at least 3 roles employed in the organization you chose in Week 1
   • Descriptions of at least 3 common attacks against access control methods, including the password policy vulnerability as described in the vulnerability report
   • Countermeasures to reduce vulnerabilities and mitigate potential attacks on access control methods
   • Note: A media-rich presentation should include multimedia such as graphics, pictures, video clips, or audio.
     Format your all references and citations according to APA guidelines. Given that this is an academic assignment, additional research outside of the class materials to support the assertions in the document is expected.
     Submit your assignment in Microsoft PowerPoint format.
