Question:
For this assignment you will post your answers to the questions in each thread prior to 11:59 p.m. ET on Sunday at 11:59 pm. It is strongly advised that you do not wait until Sunday to post your answers.
You are required to respond to at least two of your classmates post by 11:59. By waiting until Sunday to post might not give you proper time to respond by the deadline. Please do not be late with this post because your classmates will be relying on you to post on time. Your follow-up posts can add additional insight to a classmate''s opinions or can challenge their opinions. Use examples from the readings, or from your own research, to support your views, as appropriate.
For your follow-up posts this week, you may wish to visit a couple of the web sites contributed by your classmates and share your opinion of these sites with the class. Be sure to read the follow-up posts to your own posts and reply to any questions or requests for clarification. You are encouraged to conduct research and use other sources to support your answers.
Be sure to list your references at the end of your post. References must be in APA citation format. All posts must be a minimum of 400-450 words.
All follow-up posts to your classmates must be a minimum of 200 words for each required post. Peer responses will not be accepted after the due date.
1. Why should people care about password security?
2. Can computer hacking be justified under extraordinary circumstances. Imagine that you will have to break into a neighbor''s car in order to drive a friend, who will otherwise die, to the hospital. You are morally obligated to save a person''s life when it is in your power to do so. You are also obligated to obey the law, which forbids breaking into someone''s motor vehicle. How would your decision in this case be similar or different from determining whether to break into the computer database containing the medical information needed to save someone''s life? Research HIPPA. How would this effect your decision, or would it? Can this be justified in a court of law. See if you are able to find similar cases in regard to computer hacking.
3. What is cyberstalking? Research cyberstalking/harassment by communication laws in your state. What would you do, if anything to improve the laws. There are 3 states that currently do not have laws. If you live in one of those states please choose a state to research. Find a case from your state.
