Information Governance for Mobile Devices

This week we are going to be learning about the integration of mobile devices into your Information Governance program. Mobile devices become the most common digital devices in the world for individual use. There is significant expectation that your organization will integrate the functions of these devices into your workflow. Not only the devices owned and directly managed by your organization, but also those mobile devices owned by the individuals working for you. You must manage, or govern, these devices appropriate controls to protect your organization. We will explore this week the risks presented by both personally owned mobile devices and those owned by the organization but carried outside the physical boundaries of the organization and the steps your organization must make to control them. For your optional additional lecture this week, I’m providing some information about creating your literature review. I want you to know about the resources the University Library and the Writing Center can provide. This will be helpful to you. For your tenth week in this course, we have one chapter from the textbook and three research papers that you will be required to read. The three research papers are available from the University of the Cumberlands online library. You must download and read all three additional research papers. The discussion this week is focused upon the factors presented in the textbook regarding how organizations can cope with the accelerated rise in popularity of mobile devices in the workplace. There are no other portfolio project deliverables due this week.

Primary Source Hunt

Activity: Open these three links to digital repositories containing resources related to the dropping of the atomic bomb. Browse through each repository (Truman
Library Collections, Voices of the Manhattan Project, and National Security Archive), and think about how useful these repositories would be to you if you were a
historian seeking to write a biography on the scientist Leo Szilard (pronounced SIL-lard) who helped develop the atomic bomb and also campaigned against its use.
1. Truman Library Collections
2. Voices of the Manhattan Project
3. Atomic Heritage Foundation

As you explore each repository, try to locate the following primary sources that you might consult to write a chapter about Szilard’s campaign against dropping the
atomic bomb. Each primary source is located in only one of the above repositories. Try your best to locate each source, but it is OK if you are not able to locate all
three. If you are successful in your search, try skimming through the sources you find.
1. The transcription of the oral history interview with Tom Evans, a close friend of President Truman’s, discussing scientists’ opposition to the use of the
atomic bomb
2. A petition against the use of the atomic bomb circulated by Szilard directed toward President Truman
3. An interview with Lilli Hornig, a scientist who signed Szilard’s petition against the use of the atomic bomb
To do this, develop search terms similar to the examples shown in the Module Two Module Overview. Only use these three online repositories to locate these
sources—do not consult Google or any other search engine. Take notes on the search terms that are successful and keep the links to the sources you find.
Prompt: In two to three sentences, respond to each question. To develop your responses, combine your experience using search terms to locate the three
primary sources in this module with your own reflections on the questions posed. Regardless of whether or not you were able to find all three primary sources,
complete all question prompts before you submit your responses. If you were not able to find the primary sources, let your instructor know what search terms
you did use so he or she can provide you with feedback on how to develop effective search terms.

1. Describe your overall experience locating these primary sources. Was it challenging or straightforward? Do you learn anything interesting along theway?

2. Were you able to locate an interview with Tom Evans, a close friend of President Truman’s, who interacted with scientists who were trying to reach
Truman with their campaign against the use of the atomic bomb? Share your search terms and a link to the primary source.

3. Were you able to locate a petition against the use of the atomic bomb circulated by Leo Szilard directed toward President Truman? Share your search
terms and a link to the primary source.

4. Were you able to locate an interview with Lilli Hornig, a scientist who signed Szilard’s petition against the use of the atomic bomb?

Share your search
terms and a link to the primary source.

ENG101Analyzing Arguments

Analyzing Arguments

1. What basic principle, issue, or value is at the root of the argument?

2. What is the main claim? Is it a claim of fact, value, or policy?

3. What values are at play in the following statements?

It is a lot easier to debunk something than to create something worthwhile oneself. (paragraph 2)

People like to imagine Shakespeare freebasing and rolling up joints because they see him as an establishment figure. (paragraph 3)

The fact is that reading the Bard’s works or going to see a good production of one of his plays is infinitely more rewarding than taking drugs. (paragraph 3)

4. What other values (in addition to the ones from question 3 above) are important to Pinching’s argument?

5. How does Pinching connect the past to a larger point about contemporary Western culture?

Ana is a 45-year-old African-American female that presented to her physician’s office for her annual check-up. Ana has a history of diabetes, obesity, and noncompliance with diet and medications to control her diabetes. “I just can’t afford those meds, my girls need braces!” she shrugs. She is wearing a breast cancer awareness shirt and mentions that she beat breast cancer 10 years ago with chemo, radiation, and left-sided radical mastectomy. She a single mother of three teenagers and has migraines with each monthly cycle. During the history review, Ana shares with you that she has not been feeling like herself for the past six months, she has been unusually tired and her migraines have been more frequent and debliating. She stated, “I am very busy with my children; I haven’t had time to get it checked out, but my headaches are so severe, I’ll miss work. And what’s even stranger is I will have nausea and vomiting but outside my migraines. At first, I thought I ate something that didn’t agree with me, but it’s too unpredictable for that.” Her oldest daughter is with her and mentions that she sometimes talks and walks “funny.” Ana has a positive family history of breast cancer; both her mother and grandmother have been treated for breast cancer. Ana last mammogram was a year ago and clear. Based on the physical findings Ana will undergo a diagnostic MRI.

Project 2: Toulmin Argument

Instructions

Please carefully read the following assignment details in its entirety.

Choosing a topic:

This Toulmin project will help you practice what you have learned so far in this course.

  1. First, you will choose a topic of interest. Make sure that you choose a public debate with clear sides and stakes (see attachment to understand what this means!).
  2. Then, you need to research that debate to narrow the topic’s scope, so it can be easily discussed within the word count range.
    • For example, you may be interested in learning more about traffic issues in the United States. However, that topic is too large to cover for this assignment. After researching peer reviewed articles that discuss US traffic issues in general, you may discover that the metro system in the District of Columbia is underfunded and underutilized. Through your research, you find that you can make a claim that more funds should be made available in order to upgrade the metro system, which would improve traffic issues in the District of Columbia. This would make for a stronger and more specific argument. View the handout on sides and stakes that can help with this process.

Finding sources:

As you’ll see from the requirements of the assignment (listed in the requirements section of these instructions), you need to find peer-reviewed sources using the APUS databases. From the library welcome page, click on Advanced Search at the bottom of the page and then check the “peer reviewed” sources box filter.

This video will hopefully clarify the term, “peer-reviewed”. You may use eBooks; however, as discussed in your textbook, books generally are not as current as peer-reviewed articles. You may also use primary sources (interviews, statistics, etc); however, these primary sources should be obtained from experts within that field. If you cannot find strong sources for your chosen topic, then change your topic. If you have a question about the validity of a source, please email me, or post your question to the open forum.

Structure of the argument:

Make sure to include the following sections in your project regardless of the type of essay you choose to do:

an introduction and claim,
background,
body,
and a conclusion.

Within the body of your essay, make sure to include the following in any order:

support for your claim,
opposing or alternate views,
the strengths and weaknesses of your opponents’ claims,
and your rebuttals of their claims.

The Project:

For this assignment, you have creative options. This will not be a “traditional” essay, so part of the challenge is trying to apply the Toulmin model to a real situation in which you might use it, especially considering your topic choice and intended audience. Choose what will challenge your writing and what would be appropriate for your topic, audience, and field of study:

  • Op-ed newspaper article.
  • Blog post.
  • Letter/proposal to stakeholders.
  • Press release.
  • Letter to the editor.
  • Presidential address.
  • Election speech (written only).
  • Application for a position related to the topic.
  • Defense attorney’s opening statement.
  • Meeting or conference speech (written only).
  • Report to supervisor or colleagues.
  • Case brief.
  • Advocacy statement.
  • Call to action paper.

You might need to do a bit of Googling on the type of document you decide to write. For instance, if you choose to write a defense attorney’s opening statement, you’ll want to find out how that is structured by looking up examples and tips. In terms of format, since this is not a traditional essay, use the format appropriate to the option you’ve chosen; for example, a blog will look like a typical Internet blog; a case brief will look like a typical case brief, etc. Note: Regardless of the option/format, you must cite your sources both within the body of the essay and in a final reference page. The citations must be cited correctly using APA, MLA, or Chicago, whichever is appropriate to your field of study.

***In the title page, state which document type you’ve chosen so that I know how to grade it, such as stating “letter to the editor”***

Requirements:

  • PURPOSE: To persuade using the Toulmin model
  • AUDIENCE: The applicable audience for the type of document you’ve chosen to write.
  • LENGTH: approximately 500 – 1000 words (Times New Roman font)
  • SOURCES: A minimum of 3 with at least 1 from the library, and at least 1 from a professional journal or organization
  • FORMAT: The citation style that is appropriate for your discipline: APA, MLA, or Chicago
  • DUE: SUNDAY 11:55 pm EST

**Remember that all work submitted is to be your own original work except where properly acknowledged and cited. Do not reuse work, papers, or speeches from previous (or concurrent) classes as this violates APUS academic integrity policies. (Make sure to note the section on self-plagiarism.) **
