Need at least 14 citations from the sources provided, preferrably 1 per source.

12 pages on content, not including an abstract.

Please contact me if you have any questions or timeline issues. My turn in date is on the 29th, so really no time for lapse.

Thank you

This class is Liberty and Property, about The political thought of John Locke. It is very important that a writer is very familiar or well knowledged with John Locke. If the writer is not then, it is impossible to write a paper.
This paper is final paper which it covers 50% of final grade.

Before you write a paper you should re-read "The second Treatise", and "A discourse on Property" both by John Locke.
"The second Treatise" required reading is chapter from 1 to 19. And "A discourse on Property" is Chapter from 2 to 7.

Paper is asking a question about a current issue of liberty and property(the default topic will be Kelo Vs. New London) by using extensive evidence from Locke and secondary sources.

First, you have to find a case suchs as Kelo Vs. New London.
Then, first 3-4 pages should cover with addresting major three problems related to the case. But not to argue about the problem, and is not argument paper. Structure like John Locke wrote on the book. Try to understand both parties.
Second part 8-10 pages, should cover with John Locke's philosophical idea related to the problems that you addressed.
Last, conclusion 1-3 pages, it is not important who is right. It can be understandable in both parties. Or Such example from kelo Vs. New England, Kelo!!. You can choose it while you are writing.

*Important*
*Clearly identify three questions and backed up by Locke's Philosophical idea.
*Structure base on Locke and gear toward.
*The case must invovle with two Parties such as Kelo Vs. New London. If you are not sure about what is Kelo Vs. New Londong go to the google.com and type "Kelo Vs. New London". It will help to find a case. Also you could look up law.com to find a case. Such as Death penalty, abortion.
*number of evidence is up to you but many evidences are better for the paper. Just use it for appropriately. But it is important that the evidences should backed up from the problems that you address(three questoins, both parties).

Use Chicago Manual of Style. I need the bibliography and work cited information along with my order for free. I provided 11 reference materials to use. Along with that add at least 20 other references. I need minimum of 15 quotations. I have provided the Introduction of the research paper. Based on the introduction please write the body and conclusion. NOTE Keep my introduction and use that as a base to write the body and conclusion. I am ordering 12 pages in total write 10 pages for the body and 2 pages for conclusion based on my introduction. I am not paying to write an introduction as I would like to use my own introduction. So please write the body and conclusion only and make sure it flows with my introduction. The paper should be based on my introduction and answer the last three topic of the introduction, which are:
- Online cross-cultural communication is more prone to misunderstanding and distrust than face-to-face communication because some of the nonverbal communication cues like body language are missing.
- The building of trust between individuals can lead to successful on-line cross-cultural communication.
- There is a need to understand how the meaning of word may vary between cultures in order to eliminate any potential misunderstanding and distrust between individuals.


Subject: Interpretation across Culture in on-line communication

Introduction:

I have been using my second language, English, since I was two years old. I have been living in the U.S. for nine years and still some words do not portray the same meaning to me as they do to people over here. I have found that the meanings of words can change; I notice this particularly at my workplace. When I started my job, I was given a project, and in an e-mail communication I wrote, "I am working on resolving the problem. I will keep you posted with my findings. In the meantime, if you have any further problems please feel free to contact me again." The word "problem" created a big situation in my department. My manager and my co-workers thought the word "problem" sounded negative and that I should use the word "issue" instead. I explained to them that where I come from, Bangladesh, "issue" sounds very harsh. It makes me feel as if I am attacking someone personally. After much discussion, I stepped aside to think from their perspective and decided to change the word. These made me realize that communicating in the workplace in my second language, even if my colleagues and I do not always understand words the same way, we can eventually understand each other well enough to achieve our tasks at work.

Language is the key factor for communication. The English language is being used globally to communicate through online media. While most people are using the same language to interact, not everyone is communicating with the same cultural values and understanding. Effective communication with people of different culture is especially challenging. There are no established procedures or rules for us to follow to be efficient communicators across cultures. The Internet has caused an explosion in the variety of communication methods and has opened an extraordinary level of communication without boundaries. This is causing an unprecedented possibility for misinterpretation, misunderstanding, and distrust. Trust is a vital element in team development and efficiency building within a traditional team context. Any kind of communication we engage in has our cultural values intermingled in it. Culture teaches us values and principles that direct our thoughts and actions toward anything we encounter. This cultural understanding dictates the way we learned how to speak, write, and interact with others. It creates a challenge in understanding each other. Along with the regular face-t-face cross-cultural communication challenges now we need to pay attention to the cross-cultural communication via on-line media.

To keep costs down and remain competitive in the global economy many organizations are choosing to convert traditional teams to virtual teams and forming Geographically Dispersed Teams (GDT). It is easy to setup virtual teams, but the challenge is in establishing trust among virtual team members to work collaboratively. Individuals in a virtual team not only depend on the use of information technology but also create rapport through on-line communication. In a research done by Dr. Zhou she revealed that virtual team also needs to trust their team members for their work. Because they are dependent on each others assigned task to deliver a successful project. When there is s strong trust built within the team, it is easier for the team members to work efficiently because they are able to depend on each other. It also helps them to have open communication within the group and maintain a collaborative environment. Trust is a vital element in team development and efficiency building within a traditional face-to-face communication of team context. So, we also need to pay attention on how to build trust through on-line communication.

It is phenomenal how people can communicate with each other while connected only by computers. Today, online media has shortened the time span of international communication to a matter of seconds. According to Internet World Stats, on June 30, 2008 the Internet was used by 21.9% of the world population, which is a 5.19% increase since 2006. The increase of Internet usage has brought with it a mixture of new settings and concerns that affect how the world interacts with in cyberspace. It has become a melting pot of different languages, cultural values, laws, regulations, and individual expectations. These factors need to be considered while using the online media to network with people of different cultures around the globe. A majority of work teams now spend at least 25% of their time working in a virtual environment, according to a recent survey by the Institute for Corporate Productivity.

It can also be said that the on-line media is also influencing people to take on new habits from other cultures. Consider the following simple scenario that Satinder Gill, talks about in his article "The Cultural Interface: The Role of Self." Usually, in Japanese culture, everyone addresses their colleagues at work by their last name. When communicating via email they tend to address their colleagues by their first name, which they do not normally do in person (1). Here we can see how online communication changes how Japanese communicators address each other differently online rather than face-to-face. This is just one example of global communication causing unconscious changes to occur in users' communication styles and how we need to pay attention to online communication protocols between cultures.

The emergence of cyberspace is pushing everyone in the workplace to grow an understanding of how different cultural values can play a role in online communication. Online cross-cultural communication in can be unconsciously affected by cultural values. This factor can affect how employees from different countries engage in online communications. All of these issues can play a positive or negative role in our life. If we do not pay attention to potential misunderstanding, then we are more likely to become victims of miscommunication. It will take more than just awareness to overcome these issues and communicate online across culture. On-line cross-cultural communication is a vital element in todays communication at workplace for team development and efficiency. In this study I plan to explore some of the potential reasons for misunderstanding and distrust in on-line communication. I believe to address this question I need to tackle the following issues listed below:

- Online cross-cultural communication is more prone to misunderstanding and distrust than face-to-face communication because some of the nonverbal communication cues like body language are missing.
- The building of trust between individuals can lead to successful on-line cross-cultural communication.
- There is a need to understand hw the meaning of word may vary between cultures in order to eliminate any potential misunderstanding and distrust between individuals.

This research study focuses on away messages in IM and how it can be used for better communication. A total of 483 away messages written by 44 individuals were studied. The messages were broken down indo different categories. They are primarily assertives, followed by expressives and commissives, but rarely with directives. These findings are discussed in terms of computer-mediated discourse and online self-presentation.
Coppola, N. W., Hiltz, S. R., & Rotter, N G. (2004). Building trust in virtual teams. IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication. 47.2, 95-104
The authors, researchers at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark uses Debra Meyersons concept, swift trust at the beginning of an on-line course to build trust between temporary teams in online courses. The industry is moving towards a virtual world and along with it the academia is also preparing the students to work in a virtual world. As the students are meeting for a short time they can be compared to the temporary groups at workplace how everyone is pressured to become familiar in a limited amount of time. It shows the faculty members who were able to build trust between the team within the first week of the class were able provide successful learning community. The same phenomenon works within virtual teams at work place. Trust needs to be present between team members so they can count on each other and work more effectively towards their task without additional worries.
Suchan, J. & Hayzak, G. (2001). The communication characteristics of virtual teams: a case study. IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication; 44.3, 174-186
The authors, researchers are from the Naval Postgraduate School and the U.S. Army explores on how there is greater need by the industry to deliver to their client in the most efficient way and how they are turning towards virtual team to give them the nimbleness to leverage their resources. They research analyzed the communication technologies like Customer Support Virtual Team (CST) for a Fortune 500 organization. Advanced electronic media provide the primary means of interaction between the virtual team members. For an effective team they found the great need for self driven team members and a great deal of trust along with the most efficient communication tools. In contrast they also found that organizations need to have staff to support these technologies for virtual team to perform effectively. As the industry is getting more demanding with the turnaround time of their project this study shows how managing a productive virtual team directly depends on a reliable communication systems. They show an interlinked relationship connecting the need to maintenance the uptime of these systems which helps the virtual team to be productive and as a result support their clients.
Zhou, L., & Zhang D. (2005). A heuristic approach to establishing punctuation convention in instant messaging. IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication. 48.4, 391-400
The author, researcher at the University of Maryland, MD explores the behavioral indicators of deception in virtual group when using instant messaging as a media of communication through qualitative study. He also discovered the difference in linguistic behavior between deceivers and the truth teller. This study is crucial for industries as most are instant messaging or synchronous computer mediated communication now pervades in daily life of the workplace. The study also compares the research on deception in face-to-face communication based on the clue theory with the deception via instant messaging. The interpersonal deception theory from social science was also used to guide the deception research in the group studied using instant messaging. Compared to face-to-face interaction instant messaging is influenced by the lack of incoming social cues as the communicators doesnt get to see the facial expressions. It is important identify these deceptions as organizations interact with each other virtually to reduce project failures. The results from this research can be used to understand knowledge of deception behavior in human communication and be aware of deceptions in the virtual world.

Grosse, C. U. (2002). Managing communication within virtual intercultural teams. Business Communication Quarterly. 65.4, 22-38.
This study was based on the findings from a graduate level business communication class assignment and interviews with four executives from France, United Kingdom, and US. The study focuses on how to build a strong virtual team through technology at the same time keep the interaction more humanized. It is a challenge for the traditional workers to work with teammates where there is no face-to-face interaction so there is a greater need for human touch to make them comfortable. There is also a need to have awareness of cultural diversity in the global virtual team to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding. The study also troughs the idea of a first face-to-face interaction between the team before forming them into virtual team but this is not always feasible due to geographical location and cost. The organization need to encourage open communication from the beginning between the virtual team members to grow trust and understanding. In the long run this will help the team to be more efficient and productive.

Millions of adults currently use instant messaging (IM) in the workplace and yet there is very little research examining how use and perceptions of this new medium affect intra-organizational communication. While one of the characteristics of instant messaging is the ability to exchange real-time communication, what truly distinguishes instant messaging from other widely adopted forms of mediated communication is the integration of presence technology, which allows parties to detect if others are online and available to communicate. In this paper, we propose a theory of productivity benefits of presence-aware communication technology, building upon past research. Based on this model, we use a quasi-experimental longitudinal research design with quantitative and qualitative methods to test how providing instant messaging to selected workgroups at a Fortune 1000 company impacts employees attitudes and work behavior. Results suggest that IM use had a positive effect on improving productivity with participants citing reductions in voice mail and phone tag, improvements to how easy it was to see if colleagues were online and available to communicate as well as increased productivity served by back-channel communications conducted via IM. Results and future research directions are discussed.

Panteli, N. & Davison, M. R. (2005). The role of subgroups in the communication patterns of global virtual teams. IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication. 48.2, 191-220
This study was collaboration between the University of Bath, UK, and the City University of Hong Kong, China. The author, researchers represents both the universities and led a group of 47 students by dividing them into 8 subgroups. The research explores the emergence of subgroups in global virtual and the communication pattern of teams in virtual settings. Extensive observation was made for 8 months to analyze the way all the teams communicated on the same projects by using on-line file exchanges, chats, and discussion forums. The study was veryclose to real life scenario because of the geographical proximity and the organizational homogeneity of the members in two different locations. The study shows how misunderstand between team members caused lack in team cohesiveness thus creating boundaries. Although the end result of the task between the team were very good but interestingly the study show there is greater need to have highly skilled team leader to maintain the serenity between the subgroups and to help taking ownership of faults, thus reducing misunderstanding. The study does a great job in discussing the insinuations of the findings and how to apply in practice. As businesses are moving toward outsourcing this study can be used as source in understanding some of the shortcomings of virtual teams and ways to overcome them.

Burn, J. & Barnett, M. (1999). Communicating for advantage in the virtual organization. IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication. 42.4, 215-222
The authors, researchers at the Edith Cowan University, Australia studies six virtual organizational models and explores how the electronic network of virtual organizations rises above the conventional organizations. All these models have some common needs. They all seek for innovative way to come up with low-cost communications technology and employ rich functionality. The models also explore how virtual organizations are dynamic and are going through constant changes. The most stable virtual organization that run most efficiently are the ones that treat communication knowledge as their core need for their infrastructure. The trend to the formation of virtual organizations industry and a lot can be learned from their communication structure which can be applied to the traditional organization and to the formation of their virtual teams.

Judith A. H. (2005). Building trust and collaboration in a virtual team. Team Performance Management. 7.3, 36-48
The author from the Holland College, Canada focuses on how building and having trust in virtual organization is important for it to be productive. Organization are moving toward a virtual team environment and to have effective virtual team there needs to me seamless communication between team members and they need to be able to rely on each other without any doubts. She studied six members in a virtual team to find the out how level of trust is important in team effectiveness. She suggest the application of Jung's theory of personality types to assess virtual teams in a positive and laissez-faire way to highlight value of diversity so the team members are at ease to share their personal and work style preferences, thus creating a circle of trust. Trust is need between all kinds of team but it is crucial for virtual team as there is no face-to-face interaction between team members and there is vulnerability for deception.

Jarvenpaa L. S. & Leidner E. D. (1999). Communication and trust in global virtual teams. Organization Science. 10.6, 791-816
The authors, researchers, at the University of Texas at Austin, TX studied three hundred and fifty master's students from 28 universities for six weeks in virtual team setting to explore the how trust was developed through virtual interaction. The study show communication challenges dues o cultural in interpersonal differences and thus creating misunderstanding between team members. The presence of the SIDE theory was found in the study as there were pauses between the members during their interactions which influence individuals to build stereotypical intuitions about each other. In this study we also see the application of Debra Meyersons theory of swift trust but between the team members were very fragile and temporary. There are challenges in virtual team due to geographical distance so organizations need to focus on open communications between the virtual team members so there is less misunderstanding. A productive virtual team cannot be built just with the proper communication tools but there is need for trust, respect, and relationship between team members.

Project Title
-------------
Risk Management and Analysis - Process and Policy before Technology

Propsed Abstract
----------------
According to studies released by the FBI and the Computer Security Institute (CSI), over 70% of all attacks on sensitive data and resources reported by organizations occurred from within the organization itself. Implementing an internal security policy appears to be just as important as an external strategy. The objective of this report is to highlight the necessity of internal processes and policy alongside technology when managing and mitigating risk. The author narrates the problems of security from the unseen forces in an individual that influence thought, behavior and personality. Computers do not yet have the intelligence to question human reasoning, understand the human psyche and then take action based upon logical deduction. The subject matter for this dissertation is based the authors own personal working experiences, modules taught in the Master of Software Engineering and course materials used.

Background (maybe part of opening Chapter 1)
----------
Many of the firms in question that I worked for invest significant sums of money per annum into technology, with the newfound belief that software creates the competitive advantage and brings business value to the market place. These assets some of which are tangible require many forms of security to protect them from vandals, hackers, thieves and yes, even competitors. It is the traditional techniques of using hardware and software to manage this risk that the author believes to be the underlying problem of safe keeping their information commodities.

There is not yet a computer with the artificial intelligence, to understand, that one person accessing a system with another persons credentials maybe alarm for suspicion. It cannot discuss this with another peer computer or explain the extra sensory feelings it has to its human superior. It does not have the ability to correlate the companys compliance rule regarding computer access against the activity a person is performing on a machine it knows does not belong to that person.

Just as computers need rules and boundaries in order to operate in, so do people, as a society we remain sure of this. We cannot however assume that the person knows the consequences of their actions, and understands that what they are doing may be wrong based upon the rules which have been put in place by the company. We have to educate and teach first, discipline and enforce last.

The report should demonstrate the use of software engineering subject matter taught in

1. Practical Software Engineering
2. People and Security
3. Security Risk Analysis and Management
4. Security Principles
5. Software Development Management

Requirements (IMPORTANT)
------------
- An Oxford layout

- At the start of each (proper) chapter I'd expect to see a paragraph along the lines of "In this chapter we're going to do X. We're going to start by thinking about Y and then we'll move on to tackle Z.

- The theory of nature versus nurture in software engineering should be the central point to this project. I am trying to theorise that a persons genetic make up and social up bringing (both parental and cultural), has a definative role to play in software engineering. Is it not logical that our traits and imperfections are carried over to become part of the things we create? If so how do we analise this and what do we do to mitigate and manage the risk involved?

Questions to think about
-----------------------

- Why does a person hack computer systems? What makes them do this? Is their a median hacker age? What stats can prove this? If there is an age pattern would that be part of a process company's would implement to help prevent internal hacking based on age, gender, chemical make up? What are the moral implications of such a thing?

Examples would be to analyse some of the major software engineering failures, such as the following, and ask if better process could have been implemented to prevent this from happening -

The AT&T network collapse (1990)
In 1990, 75 million phone calls across the US went unanswered after a single switch at one of AT&T's 114 switching centers suffered a minor mechanical problem, which shut down the centre. When the centre came back up soon afterwards, it sent a message to other centres, which in turn caused them to trip and shut down and reset.

The culprit turned out to be an error in a single line of code -- not hackers, as some claimed at the time -- that had been added during a highly complex software upgrade. American Airlines alone estimated this small error cost it 200,000 reservations.

Mars Climate Observer metric problem (1998)
Two spacecraft, the Mars Climate Orbiter and the Mars Polar Lander, were part of a space program that, in 1998, was supposed to study the Martian weather, climate, and water and carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere. But a problem occurred when a navigation error caused the lander to fly too low in the atmosphere and it was destroyed.
What caused the error? A sub-contractor on the Nasa programme had used imperial units (as used in the US), rather than the Nasa-specified metric units (as used in Europe).

Mariner I space probe
A bug in the flight software for the Mariner 1 causes the rocket to divert from its intended path on launch. Mission control destroys the rocket over the Atlantic Ocean. The investigation into the accident discovers that a formula written on paper in pencil was improperly transcribed into computer code, causing the computer to miscalculate the rocket's trajectory.

Article that reflects my thoughts for this dissertation
-------------------------------------------------------

http://jacobian.org/writing/syntactic-sugar/

However, Ive seen this particular assertion all programming languages are the same because theyre all Turing complete used repeatedly as long as Ive been a programmer. It drives me nuts.

Sure, its true on a technical level. Any computer language we write gets interpreted and compiled down to machine code, so at a practical level a C program with a for(;;) loop and a Python list comprehension might end up with the same values flowing over my registers and the same instructions dropping into the CPU. But this reductionist view of programming completely ignores the incredibly important role that language plays in thought.

The traditional view of languages human or computer is that theyre a tool we use to express thought. But modern literary and linguistic theory holds that its a two way street: our thought drives our language, but the language we use leaves an indelible imprint on our thought processes. Im not a linguist, but from what I can tell the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is the main designator for this idea of language influencing thought.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapir-Whorf_hypothesis

The hypothesis postulates that a particular language's nature influences the habitual thought of its speakers: That is, different language patterns yield different patterns of thought. This idea challenges the possibility of perfectly representing the world with language, because it implies that the mechanisms of any language condition the thoughts of its speaker community.

Theres no question in my mind that this applies full-force to software development: different languages make it easier or harder to conceive of certain types and classes of algorithms. So-called syntactic sugar can make a big difference in efficiency: one language might naturally lend itself to writing a something close to the theoretically optimal case, while another might lead you towards a different, less efficient, solution.

Most importantly, though, is the way that computer languages intersect with our own thoughts. Youll often a developer talk about how his favorite language fits my brain or matches the way I think. As a group of analytical types, we often dismissthese types of assertions in favor of more quantitative measurements of performance or memory consumption. But thats a huge mistake: well always be more productive in a language that promotes a type of thought with which were already familiar.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroplasticity

According to the theory of neuroplasticity, thinking, learning, and acting actually change both the brain's physical structure, or anatomy, and functional organization, or physiology from top to bottom.

In other words, what you think changes what you *will* think.

Some additional background material for same sex marriage:

For some years, same-sex marriage (SSM) has been near or at the top of any list of leading religious/secular/political controversies in North America. It is complex, divisive, and not readily amenable to compromise. After all, U.S. states either allow SSM or ban it.

Any change, or threat of change, to the culture is distressing to many people. But a change to the structure of the fundamental building block of society -- the family -- can be particularly upsetting.

SSM has split the U.S. by:

Age: Youth and young adults are generally for SSM; the elderly are against.

Political affiliation: Democrats in are favor, Independents less so, Republicans opposed.

Religion: Conservatives opposed; religious liberals and secularists for.

Geography: The northeast and west coast for; the rest against.


Most American adults currently oppose SSM, but the trend is towards increasing acceptance. If current trends continue, most American adults will be supportive of SSM sometime in the early to middle 2010's.

LivingVote.org has followed the debate over Proposition 8 in California, which terminated SSM in that state. LivingVote's visitors have posted three arguments for and three against SSM which seem to reflect Americans' main concerns:

Arguments for SSM:

Dignity & respect: "The institution of marriage conveys dignity and respect towards a couple that make a lifetime commitment to support each other. "Same-sex couples deserve this dignity and respect."

Equal rights: Denying marriage to same-sex couples removes from one group a fundamental, important human right -- the right to marry the person that one loves and to whom one has made a commitment. That is unfair and unjust in a democracy.

Financial & security: Denying one group the right to marry has many adverse emotional and financial consequences. Examples are Social Security, Medicare, medical leave, and other benefits; property inheritance; the right to visit their spouse in hospital, and make medical decisions if they are incapacitated; security of the couple and of their children.

Arguments against SSM

Religious freedom: For most Americans, marriage is a religious sacrament or ceremony. If the definition of marriage is changed to allow SSM, religious individuals and groups become at risk of having to violate their beliefs by marrying same-sex couples.

Children benefit: Many researchers have found that children thrive best when reared in a home with a married mother and father. Boys and girls have needs that are uniquely met by parents of the opposite gender.

Teaching about SSM: The role of marriage in society is a major topic taught in public schools. If SSM is legalized, schools would be required to teach that same-sex marriage is equivalent to opposite-sex marriage, starting as early as Kindergarten.

Sample of Research paper:

Violence in schools is a topic that has become talk of the media in recent years after incidents like Columbine and Virginia Tech. Although school violence is discussed when a
major incident occurs, it is rarely talked about in terms of violence in dating relationships. Schools are acting to address the issue of active shooters but by failing to address the more common issue of dating violence, they are opening themselves up to liability issues as well as
molding a future generation of students with severe roblems. Schools are not only involved with shaping the minds of our adolescents but also their character. This puts school counselors in a unique position to address dating violence by promoting positive alternatives and creating a
safer school climate. Dating violence among adolescents is rarely addressed from the perspective of prevention. Most schools only address issues of violence post crisis which sends mixed messages about the importance of prevention. Therefore, the schools response, or lack there of,
to dating violence teaches valuable lessons as well.

Extent of the Problem:

In the United States, teens are the fastest growing population at risk for dating violence.
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), 1 in 5 adolescents reports being a victim of physical dating abuse, with the numbers dropping to 1 in 3 when verbal, emotional and sexual abuse are included (CDC, 2006). States seem to mimic the national statistics as well. According
to the California Student Survey, 5% of 9th graders and 8% of 11th graders reported at least one incidence of dating violence in their relationships (Austin & Skager, 2004). In addition to physical violence, many teens are reporting unwanted sexual experiences as part of the violence
included in their relationships. Nearly all female teenage rape victims know their attacker with 11% identifying the attacker as their boyfriend (CDC, 2006). In our high schools, teenage dating violence could be called the silent epidemic. This is because many teens fail to report these acts of violence. Molidor and Tolman (2001) state that only 3% of students reported an abusive incident to an authority figure and even more frightening is that 40% report someone else witnessing the abuse and failing to report it. In addition to remaining silent about the abuse, many girls tend to remain with the abuser. About 80% of girls who have been physically abused in their relationships continue to date their abuser after violence has begun (Moles, 2001).
Why should dating violence be a schools concern? Dating violence is a direct threat to a schools safety. Californias State Constitution reads schools must provide a safe, secure and peaceful environment for our students (California State Constitution, n.d.). This form of
violence compromises a schools ability to provide that safe environment. First, some dating violence literally takes place on school grounds. Approximately 43% of teen dating violence victims reported that the dating abuse they experienced occurred in a school building or on school grounds (Molidor & Tolman, 2001, p. 180). Second, victims of teen violence are more likely than other students to be involved in other forms of violence on school grounds. A
California study found that ninth grade victims of violence are 6.4 times more likely to have carried a gun to school and 3 times more likely to have been in a physical fight at school (Austin & Skager, 2004). Finally, by ignoring the problem schools send a loud message that violence is
an acceptable behavior. Therefore, by failing to address the issue of teen dating violence schools are not only shirking their responsibility of providing a safe learning environment which could result in liability issue if violence occurs but they are as the statistics show opening up the school to other forms of violence as well.

Behavioral indicators:
Dating violence impedes academic success and threatens those who are victims with other issues that interfere with academics. Girls experiencing relationship violence often feel self-conscious, afraid, do not want to go to school, and find it hard to pay attention (OKeefe,2005). Girls may feel unsettled or frightened of their abusers who most likely attend the same school which causes an inability to focus on school work. Among 9th and 11th graders in
California, teen dating violence victims were twice as likely to have grades of mostly Ds or Fs as other 9th and 11th graders (Austin & Skager, 2004).
In addition to school work problems, violence contributes to health and safety issues
among victims. Victims of teen violence are also at considerably higher risk of engaging in
harmful behaviors such as using alcohol, tobacco, and drugs, becoming pregnant, developing
eating disorders, risky sexual behavior and considering or attempting suicide (Silverman, Mucci,
Raj & Hathaway, 2001). These behaviors are both indicators that something is impeding the
students ability to learn and warning signs that abuse might be occurring in their relationships.
Some common warning signs can be observed by those who have regular and consistent
contact with teen dating violence victims, including school staff. These include: physical signs of
injury, truancy, failing grades, indecision, changes in personality, use of drugs/alcohol,
emotional outbursts, isolation, depression and lowered self-esteem (OKeefe, 2005)
As prevalent as teen dating violence is in todays society, schools that fail to address the
problem are failing their students. An effective school will take the proactive approach to dating
violence and develop programming to address it before an incident occurs.

Counseling Strategies:
Many of the studies have all agreed that schools need to take a proactive approach in creating a
safer school concerning dating violence. Besides preventing current problems in their schools,
these programs seek to develop positive healthy adults. Davis and Benshoff (2000) state that as
dating is common among adolescents it is this critical time that can provide pivotal experiences
that help adolescents define how they will interact, positively or negatively, within future dating
relationships and intimate partnerships (395). Teaching students the basics of healthy
relationships will help them form the foundations upon which to develop positive future
relationships. Therefore, early intervention is important in changing harmful lessons teens will
learn about relationships as well as interpersonal behavioral patterns (Davis & Benshoff, 2000).
Studies conducted on current prevention programs have noted some common areas that
have been successful in changing attitudes and behaviors around teen dating violence. Effective
prevention programs have included education about the different forms of dating violence,
understanding dynamics of power and control, early warning signs, and aspects of healthy and
unhealthy relationships (OKeefe, 2005). In addition, programs that have shown promising
results have included skill building around effective communication, conflict resolution, selfesteem
respect and honesty (Feiring & Furman, 2000).
Finally effective programs have been shown to teach prevention, intervention and
treatment. Hallfors, Young, Sanchez, Martin & Kupper (2004) state that programs should not
only teach young people how to avoid an abusive relationship, but to also teach them how to help
a friend who might be in one. After reviewing the literature, it seems the most effective programs
ar those that are multifaceted addressing several areas with a focus on education and skills
acquisition.

Case Study
The CEO of eBay recently said that the popular online auction site is enabling a kind of e-commerce that didnt exist to any extent before, and thats person-to-person e-commerce. Like garage sales, online auctions bring together buyers and sellers. Web auction sites have been described as combining extensive classified ads with the excitement of a television game show. To foster trust in brokers and bidders, some online auctions even provide chat boards where people can share tips and feedback.

Web auction sites are particularly useful for buyers and sellers of unusual items. Pierre Omidyar, who founded eBay in 1995, started the site in an effort to add to his girlfriends collection of Pez candy dispensers. Today, you can use Web auction sites to buy everything from Beanie Babies and baseball cards to expensive jewelry and art.

Visit a Web auction site.
1) How does the site work?
2) What types of items are available on the site? Could you find similar items elsewhere?
3) What, if any, guarantees are available?
4) Are any additional services available (such as a chat board)?
5) Some people insist that, although Web auction sites are entertaining, they are not necessarily inexpensive (after all, the selling price is the highest price offered). In general, are costs at the Web auction site low or high?
6) Would you make a purchase at a Web auction site? Why or why not?

Write a brief report on the findings of your research as outlined above. You must have at least three sources (see the example Case Study on how to format your sources).
