Internet Abuse in Universities Why
Pages: 5 Words: 1663

At the bottom line, the issue at hand is with the sanctity and safety of the students and the responsibility of the university to preserve and develop that.
Moreover, many of these students are dallying into multi-dimensional virtual worlds that are beginning to closely resemble the physical world and that are having their own ethical issues arise (Wankel & Malleck, 2010). Universities need to educate themselves as to what those issues are exactly.

3. With hindsight, how could Bob have designed his research to avoid some of the difficulties he encountered?

In hindsight, it's absolutely possible that Bob could have designed his research in a more sensitive manner that would have been more appealing to the bulk of the universities that he approached. For example, if Bob hadn't submitted open-ended questions but multiple choice or true or false questions, the survey that he submitted might have been more appealing to university administrators.…...

Internet Makes Children Smarter Integration of Computer
Pages: 4 Words: 1160

Internet Makes Children Smarter
Integration of computer and internet into the day-to-day lives of children are quite visible nowadays. (Lee, 509) For several children, the use of internet has now become integrated with connecting over phone and watching television in the 'repertoire of typical behavior.' (Packard, 20) Children presently are techno literate and sometime extend over the efficiency of their teachers and parents; children and their parents have great anticipations with regard to the accessibility of technology in school; the transformation of learning into fun and entertaining has been their need; they also demand immediacy, customized and flexible approach. (Wright, 42) As domestic accessibility to internet has now become common, this paper identifies and assesses the influence of internet on children. The characteristics of internet use by children produce public concern that both regulate and undermine research, confusing the already challenging study of children. (Livingstone, 148)

Internet Fraud
Every day, fraudsters and hackers find new ways of making a quick buck via the internet. In that regard, the need to familiarize oneself with the principles and measures necessary to avoid falling victim to internet fraud cannot be overstated. This text largely concerns itself with internet fraud and the measures individuals should take to protect both themselves and their businesses from the same.

Internet Fraud: An Overview

Fraud according to Newman (2009) is "a deception deliberately practiced in order to secure unfair or unlawful gain." Thus in basic terms, internet fraud is any fraud executed via the internet.

Job availability also increased in finance and insurance, professional and technical, real estate and retail trade industries. Monster's new index fills a gap that has existed in tracking online help-wanted ads, said Monster.com founder Jeff Taylor. The online index "really becomes more relevant as we begin to move into recovery" of the economy, he said (Medill 2004)."
The article goes on to contend that the other internet-recruiting firms such as carreerbuilder.com and chicagojobs.com have also experienced spikes in the amount of traffic on their sites. In fact career builder had revenue of $56 million for the first quarter of 2004. Compare this to $33 billion made during the same quarter of the previous year.

Internet Security Measures- An Assessment
The world of the Internet is truly an amazing and wonderful place where any information on any topic is available, right at your fingertips, with the mere click of a button. The Internet is very much like a huge city where high rises filled with honest people and slums filled with the lower classes coexist side by side; where there are both good people as well as the bad and dishonest criminals living in one place. Criminals in the real world may be relatively easier to find than those in the cyber world who are virtually impossible to find. This may be due to the practical difficulties in finding the criminals and tracking them down through virtual space and taking action on them. The battle between Internet thieves and Internet administrators has been actually going on for many years; the Internet, in fact, has been in…...

Internet Access Is Not Uniform
Pages: 3 Words: 847

Whereas the radio did not reach mass media status for 38 years, and television required 13 years, the Internet soared from obscurity to 50 million users in just four years. By 1998 there were an estimated 143 million Internet users, with numbers expected to exceed 700 million by this year. Some 88% of all users in 1998 lived in industrial countries, home to less than 15% of the world's people. The U.S. has more computers than the rest of the world combined, and over 100 million Internet users."
But developing countries are not exactly conveniently blind to the advantages of the Internet. Some less-developed nations are trying hard to keep pace with technological advancement and have been seeking ways to provide greater Internet access to their people. India is one such country that may not be able to compete with U.S. And Europe both economically and technologically but is making…...

Some theorists argue that, "...the use of e-mail enables people who are peripheral in groups to become more visible. This means that people of lower status can easily communicate with those of higher status" (Module 3: Online Personal elationships).
Another category that benefits from the Internet in terms of personal relationships is those who prefer not to interact with others conventionally due to fear or a perception that going out into society is dangerous. In an article entitled Social anxiety, Internet use and personal relationships on the Internet (2004), Nishimura states that, "People who had a high level of trait social anxiety, especially those under twenty years of age, were highly motivated to use the Internet for the formation of personal relationships" (Nishimura, 2004, p.124).

Misuse of such had been on a rise recently all over the world. Governments have now started to enforce strict internet laws to minimize such occurrences.

Internet Trust Certificates in Every
Pages: 10 Words: 2900

Trust alleviates the apprehensions of insecurity that crop up when the retailer is not known, or the way the company will deliver the goods or services purchased. Building trust in e-commerce necessitates a clear indication of rigorous standards of security, data safeguard, transparency of data use, etc. (The effect of IT-based security on feedback mechanisms and trust building in online auction settings)
Morgan and Hunt during 1994 indicate that trust can be generated when firms produce superior resources, uphold high standards of corporate values, communicate information about expectations, market intelligence and evaluations, and eliminate malevolently exploiting their trading partner. Research dealing with trust from the conventional marketing perspective concentrates on an experience-based consequence. But in the online environment, trust is necessary prior to the online shopping experience can occur. One field of major problem for consumers in the development of trust is privacy.

While name and brand acknowledgement of already reputed conventional retailers can confidently entail a baseline for consumers when they go online, this also is applicable to some uncertainty in the consumers' mind when dealing with unknown merchants. Recently, online companies have not succeeded in delivering on promises, specifically during the 2000 and 2001 holiday seasons. Unsuccessful assurances supplemented the suspicion of the consumers to purchase online. As per Hemphill during 2002, electronic commerce will not attain its full prospective in the U.S. economy unless consumers feel confident that their privacy and confidentiality have been safeguarded. It is now evident that for all retailers to generate a secure and reliable shopping experience for online consumers.

Yoon during 2002 reveal that to secure trust for a web site, managing the overall image of the web-site was more significant than emphasizing the functionality of the site. He also detected that web sites that prevail online are more emergently in need of trust acknowledgement than those appearing both online as well as offline. These consequences further give rise to the necessity for improving the communication with consumers to assist their trust of the web site. Since consumers sometimes draw upon signs from their environment, companies must generate trust signs as well as create a favorable circumstance in which the deals can take place. On the basis of the assessment of literature, several trust signs were detected. The privacy, security, and return policies; shipping strategies; warranty follow up; email contact; physical address or location; phone or fax numbers; alternative ordering choices; BBB TRUSTe, Verisign or credit card logos are included as the cues. (Investigating the use of trust cues by top web retailers)

As per a survey made by Ponemon Institute and Interactive ad firm Dotomi, an opt-in online marketing campaigns can be considered to be one of the more efficient mode to create trust among the Internet users and attain personal information for them. Practically, they determined to analyze the importance of online permission for Internet marketing. The Online Permissions Survey supported by Dotomy was relied on the reactions from a statistically representative group of 1,799 Internet-accessing adults in all important sections of the U.S. The Researchers depute respondents two sample environment, both presenting the option whether or not to permit an online merchant to distribute information regarding them with third party marketers. The first approach is associated with a merchant the consumer was not familiar with but interested in purchasing from. The second was pertaining to an online merchant which the consumer was not familiar with, but was interested in buying from. In both the cases the study revealed that the one that

Internet Governance by U.S. Government
An amateurish video, "Innocence of Muslims," posted on YouTube in September 2012 was the catalyst for a string of anti-American protests and riots throughout the Islamic world. The short trailer, promoting an anti-Muslim film, was attributed to a motley crew of right-wing Christians in America (Sengupta, 2012). Angry mobs in Egypt were the first to react to the video on September 11 when they breached the walls protecting the American Embassy (Sengupta, 2012). That same night, the American Consulate in Benghazi was stormed by heavily armed Islamic militants (Sengupta, 2012). The militants set fire to the Consulate, killing J. Christopher Stevens, the American ambassador and three staff members, including two ex-Navy Seals (Sengupta, 2012). The incendiary video may have acted as a cover for the protest in Libya -- the State Department and the Libyan government did not point to a protest (Sengupta, 2012). But they…...

How do I write a paper for Bible College arguing my point-of-view with scriptures?
Words: 354

One of the great things about writing a position paper using the Bible to provide scriptural support is that the Bible is such a large document, full of internal inconsistencies, which means it can be used to support almost any position.  This is especially true if you are looking at scripture in isolation, rather than viewing it as an excerpt from a larger book or as part of a cohesive theme.  In fact, you might be surprised to discover that the Bible has text that can be used to argue against most of the ideas that we think of as....
