Theorist Comparison Paper

September 20, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Social Sciences

For this paper, you are required to compare the ideas of two out four theorists (Emile Durkheim, Karl Marx, Max Weber, or Charlotte Perkin Gilman). The choice of theorists is up to you. You should select two theorists that have some basic commonalities in order to facilitate a meaningful comparison.
Your paper should be 6 pages in length, double-spaced (not including a reference page or title page). You must use 12-point Times New Roman font and margins should be set at 1-inch. Any headings you include will not count towards your page count. You need at least 6 full pages of text.

As part of this assignment, you will need to outline the theoretical orientation of the theorists that you choose, as well as the major themes that their work covers. However, it is important that your paper does not simply read as two separate summaries. It must be clear that you are comparing the ideas of the two theorists you are examining. You need to highlight how their ideas are similar and different throughout the paper. Thus, your discussion of both theorists should be integrated into a single narrative.

It is very likely that you will need to conduct research beyond the Powerpoint I have provided you in order to write a comprehensive comparison piece. Keep in mind that we only covered a small fraction of what each theorist wrote. Therefore, I anticipate the best papers being those that are thoroughly researched. If you do use outside sources, be sure to cite them in the text and include a reference page at the end of the paper. Use as many outside resources as possible!

Grammar counts! Make sure to proofread it and to make sure it doesn’t have any grammar or punctuation mistakes.

The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?

– Does not have to be a full 2 pages it can be a page and a half or so.
I want to write about all of the information below but I do not know how to make it sound interesting and put it all together.
Anxiety and depression has run through my family for many generations as well as other more severe mental illnesses, didn’t think my anxiety would get so bad once i got into hs
I didn’t realize how much it really affects you during your day to day life especially being at a high school as large as nfa was (like a mini college campus). Once sophomore year came around I started having issues in school with focusing or even attending. Having anxiety made me paranoid 24/7. I couldn’t focus in class because of how much I would worry about everything else happening around me. Taking tests, especially long ones like the SAT would cause me to turn into a nervous wreck. While I would sit in the silent room along with all of the other students, I felt lots of pressure. I would look at the clock and scare myself into thinking I wouldn’t have enough time to finish each section causing me to rush and not think clearly. I would focus on my breathing or swallowing, to make sure no one else could hear it otherwise I would think to myself they will be bothered by it. Taking a test made me want to cry and hide. I could never focus sitting in a large room with other students. Getting driven to school was always the worst feeling in the world. I would get so nervous it made me sick to my stomach, my mom would have to pull over for a second to let me get fresh air almost every time, which sometimes caused me to be late to school. Towards the end of first semester of my senior year, my panic attacks got too bad and I couldnt take it anymore. I stopped going to school completely. I spiraled into a depression because I thought I failed life and wouldnt have any way to graduate. That’s until January 2020 when I decided to attend the adult ed school in my home town. Once I got there I felt an instant amount of calmness. My old 7th grade science teacher was the attendance taker, she welcomed me with open arms. The environment was more mature and it was completely different than what I was used to.  I was surrounded by adult students and staff that truly cared about my future. I got lots of one on one time making the work I received much easier. My grades became all As for the first time in forever, giving me a boost of confidence. Both my teachers and lots of the other staff treated me as though I’ve been one of their long term friends. My anxiety calmed down and I got the treatment I needed for it. Transferring schools was one of the best decisions I made. I graduated in march which was much earlier than expected and boosted up my grades. I wish every kid who really struggled in school and thought they had no other way to graduate knew that there were many other options to complete their goals.

Voyages Part II Arrivals: Discussion Questions

September 20, 2020 Leave a comment Humanities, MLA

For this assignment you will choose a character from the book and answer the discussion questions from his or her point of view. Look through Part II of Voyages to find details about your characters life. Think about how he or she would answer each question. Write your answer using the first person.

First: Watch the Video lecture for Voyages Part II, and read Voyages Part II. Choose a character and use your character’s name as the first line of your post (like a title). (Hit reply to my thread). (There are 9 possible characters to choose from. Only 5 people can pick each character. So, make sure to read through the posts and pick a character who has fewer than 5 threads.

Second: Answer each question from your characters point of view. Use specific details from the book. You can use quotes, but put the events in your own words. Write at least 1 paragraph per question. (Question 5 can be one sentence each)

Third: For question 5, write two discussion questions you want to ask two particular characters (or all the characters in general).

Fourth: After you finish your post, read through other peoples posts and respond to at least 2 peoples posts and questions. You can answer questions for any character, it doesnt just have to be the one you chose for your original thread. Write at least 1 paragraph per answer.

Characters to choose from: Seini, Eseta, Manu, Malia, Atu, Finau, Palu (Emma), Vei, Lio Jr.

Answer these Questions from your character’s perspective:

Give a brief introduction of you, your family and your life. What is the most important experience you have had in your life and why?

Tell us about what your home looks like and what your home means to you. In this you could describe the significance of the design, rooms, decorations, how it was built, who lives there, where it is, etc. How does this home differ from the places where other people in your family (or village) live?

Do you feel Tongan, American, Tongan American or something else and why? Has this changed over time? How do you feel that migration has impacted your family, your life and culture?

How do you feel about being interviewed by Cathy Small and being part of her book? Do you feel that Cathy is part of your family, why or why not? What do you think is the value of participating in an anthropological study like this one? Were there any negative aspects of participating in her study? Do you think Cathy Small is writing from a humanistic or social science perspective?

Look at the list of characters. Choose two characters and write questions for them. These questions should be from your characters point of view. Think about people your character might have a special relationship, argument or issue with. For example, Vei might ask Emma what she thinks her life would have been like if she had stayed in Tonga instead of migrated, etc.

– 1 Paragraph per question

information assurance

September 20, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Computer Science

As mentioned earlier, user authentication has the problem of verifying the identities of Alice and Bob when they start a new session. Authentication protocols typically follow the method of challenge-response, where Alice challenges Bob with a random challenge that Bob should respond to in an expected way. In turn, Bob verifies Alices identity in the same way. In this lab, let us go through an example of how challenge-response is handled in GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications).

Select the following link for an example of how challenge-response is handled in GSM.
Challenge-Response Handled in GSM

Given below are two scenarios. Read each scenario carefully and then answer the questions that follow each scenario.

Scenario: Refer to Figures 1 and 2. The A3 and A8 algorithms were initially kept secret in the hope of preventing fraudulent calls. Eventually the algorithms were reverse engineered. This is an example where “security by obscurity” failed.

Now, respond to the following questions:

Question 1: What is the general approach of security by obscurity?

Question 2: Why do most security experts believe that security by obscurity is a faulty approach?

Scenario: The user’s AuC sends the triplet (R, S, CK) instead of the user’s subscription information to the MSC. In particular, the AuC does not send the user’s secret key K to the MSC in order for the MSC to compute the response S. The MSC is simply given the expected response S by the AuC. The reason is that there is not complete trust between the home network and visited network.

Now, respond to the following questions:

Question 3: Why does there need to be trust between the two networks? Be specific with regard to the scenario.

Question 4: Why is trust limited between the service providers in the home network and visited network?

Answer all questions completely. If sources are used, follow APA guidelines for writing and citations. Post your work to the dropbox.
