The development, distribution, and management of economic and political resources not only has an impact on “the behavior of young people in society, but also influences the operation of important social institutions, including those institutions that comprise the so-called juvenile justice system” (p. 73). Political decisions made within juvenile justice agencies also can affect “the allocation of monetary and human resources, the amount and types of training given to staff, as well as the types of programs that are operated by those agencies” (p. 73).“So much of who we are depends on our contact with other people, the social context in which we function, and when you remove people from that context, they begin to lose their very sense of self” (Ramlagan, 2014), states Craig Haney, psychology professor at the University of California Santa Cruz. Taking a juvenile out of their social context, and placing them in seclusion, can cause them to lose their sense of self. It was noted in a 1993 report by the National Commission on Children that economic security is essential to a child’s well-being “because of the goods and opportunities they provide to places, such as, schools, programs for youth, and support for family and individual problems; furthermore, economic status is an important factor from a juvenile justice perspective, because it appears to be strongly related to delinquent behavior” (Ramlagan, 2014, p. 55).The outcome of this evaluation could show that the practice of seclusion is unethical on the grounds that it is psychologically damaging and promotes institutional misconduct.Before starting this discussion, I believed that the seclusion policy was beneficial, as it removed the misbehaving juvenile, thereby ensuring the safety of him/her and others. Putting a juvenile in ‘time out’ for a short period does tend to give the juvenile time to reflect on what he/she did, and maybe stop their disruptive behavior. However, after doing research on this subject, I have learned of its unethical use, and the many detrimental effects this practice has had on juveniles and have, therefore changed my opinion.Discussion 2:Put your selected topic (Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986) in its appropriate social context and identify important ethical considerations inherent in the evaluation. Identify and explain the impact of political issues associated with the proposed evaluation. Focus both on political factors such as socio-economics, race, or gender, as well as political nuances that might include issues about city or state government. The impact of relevant issues and cultural constraints associated with the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act would be an individual charged under the Act for hacking that could have been beneficial to computer security. The hacking community or culture may be different than when the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act was established. “Hackers are driven by more benign motivations such as curiosity, a feeling of power, and the camaraderie of belonging to a community. Crackers hope to profit from their computer crimes, although this does not mean that personal enrichment is their sole motivation” (Skibell, 2003, p. 937). If an individual or group is working to improve the computer security and trying to prevent a cyber-attack, cybercrime, cyber-terrorist, cyber-warfare, identity theft or cyber fraud, then these individuals should have some securities regarding prosecutions under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Also, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act does not define if an individual can be exempt under the Act. “Another problem with deterrence is that it ignores the makeup the hacker community, hackers do not intentionally damage networks or commit fraud, do not see themselves as criminals, and enforce a code of conduct that functions as a form of self-regulation” (Skibell, 2003, p. 937). The cultural issue with the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act is that many companies use hackers to test the security of their networks. If an individual was to test or access the wrong network or unauthorized data within a network the individual could face charges under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. “Hackers have been successful in pointing out security problems and suggesting improvements. Hacks are often discovered, reported, and patched by hackers without compromising someone else’s computer or security” (Skibell, 2003, p. 938). The criminalization of all individuals that have accessed digital data, programs, or networks without authority hinders the digital security community and the hacker culture from being able to help improve computer security from fear of facing long prison sentences under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Regarding socio-economics, race, or gender and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act is that anyone can be charged under the Act. Examples, an underage individual could be charged for sharing hacked information onto a social media outlet. A young to middle age adult could be charged for accessing sensitive data on a website that did not properly secure the data. An elderly individual could be charged for downloading a file that was on a sharing website. Educated computer users to the average computer user of any age could be charged for any of the above examples. The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act is a federal statute that gives the federal government and federal agencies like the FBI the authority to investigate cybercrimes and prosecute cybercriminals, which means the CFAA has limited effects on state or local law enforcement agencies. Also, identify and discuss the most surprising thing you found in your research that caused you to reevaluate a previously held opinion. One of the most surprising things that I have learned regarding the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act was how it allowed for prosecutor discretion. “Prosecutorial discretion/lack of resources, most cybercrime goes unpunished, a small number of high profile cases are prosecuted for political reasons and deterrent effect. That prosecution efforts of the CFAA are focused on making examples out of headline-grabbing, ideologically motivated hackers” (Holloway, & Glapa, 2017, slide. 14 & 25). Also because of prosecutorial discretion limited cases have been prosecuted under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. “CFAA case breakdown for the past 30 years: total cases 442, 89% of total cases were civil (374 cases), 11% of the total cases were criminal (48 cases), 57% of the total cases involved an employee or former employee (242 cases), only 18% of the cases were about hacking (74 cases)” (Hollow, & Glapa, 2017, slide. 19). The CFAA has been inactive for over 30 years now, and data shows that the Act has had limited success achieving its intended goals. Some other factors about the CFAA that are surprising are that an individual can be charged under the Act for sharing digital data even if the individual does not realize or know the data has been hacked. “Once an individual has downloaded or distributed hacked information without specific permission or a fair use license, they have exposed themselves to potential criminal liability under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. An individual who retweets or forwards a link to a website containing hacked information could potentially be viewed as an accessory to the hack after the fact. A hack after the fact not only leads to criminal penalties but a civil cause of action under the Act” (Wolfe, 2015, p. 301). This was surprising that individuals that may be trying to prevent a cyber-attack may fear to speak about something they have found out of fear of facing long term prison sentences under the CFAA. Some more ethical issues regarding the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act is it hinders individuals that may prevent a data breach from notifying third parties of any form of security issues within a company’s network. “A security researcher had warned Equifax months before its catastrophic data breach that it was vulnerable to the kind of attack that later compromised the personal data of more than 145 million Americans. The security researcher who discovered the vulnerability in Equifax’s system in 2016 should have been empowered to bring their findings to someone else’s attention after Equifax ignored them. If they had, the breach might have been avoided. Instead, they faced the risk of a CFAA lawsuit and potentially decades in federal prison” (Williams, 2017, para. 5 & 6). Security researchers are handicapped by the CFAA in notifying anyone that may not have authorization to a digital network or computer that the system is at risk of an attack by cybercriminals.

Assignment: Individual Reflection: Creating Goals for the Blueprint for Professional & Personal Growth Part IIAs you recall from the Course Outcomes listed in your syllabus, this course requires you to develop strategies for becoming a more effective leader, creating preliminary plans for professional and personal growth, and integrating your personal values, ethics, experience, and goals into leadership decisions. The Blueprint for Professional & Personal Growth (BPPG) is designed to assist you in meeting those outcomes and has two components you need to complete: an executive summary of the course and action plans to achieve the professional and personal goals you have set for yourself.The first component of the BPPG is an executive summary of the course to date. The ability to write an executive summary is a valuable business skill. To get the in right frame of mind for writing an executive summary, imagine that an executive from a company for which you have always wanted to work has called you and told you the following:Hello, I hear you are getting your Master's program. Well, we would like to hire you and reimburse to you the costs of your course. But before I bring you on board and pay for the course, I need to know two things. First, how have the content and assignments in this course helped you understand the roles of leadership and followership within business organization? Second, how do you intend to apply the content, theories, and topics addressed in this course to your career? Oh, and if I like what you are learning in this course and how you intend to apply what you have learned here at our organization, I will contact you and ask you when you would be able to start and what you would like your salary to be.Ok. No pressure, right? While it is unlikely the above scenario will happen to you soon, the above scenario is a useful framework for writing your executive summary. It lets people who are important to an organization, such as executives and investors; know the central ideas of the topic you are discussing and convince them why they should pay attention to them. Your executive summary of this course will help you organize the resources and learning experiences from this course that you have found most meaningful for your professional and personal growth. As you progress through the program, the executive summary you write this week will help you recall important concepts and help you reflect on the goals you have created for yourself. For additional guidance on preparing your executive summary, please review the document How to Write an Executive Summary, which can be located by clicking on the Learning Support Docslink in the course navigation menu in the online classroom.For the second component of your BPPG, you will submit action plans for at least three goals. Recall the three goals you created in Week 6:In the Week 6 Shared Practice, you created one goal to share with your colleagues that derived from your experience using the Personal Values Survey. You used this goal to develop an action plan for the Week 7 Shared Practice.You created at least two other goals for the Week 6 Individual Reflection from the Personal Values Survey or sources related to the course content.Now that you have gone through the process of developing an action plan for one goal, you will develop action plans for the two other goals for the BPPG. As you prepare the action plans, you might consider revising your action plan for your first goal, based upon the feedback you received from your colleagues in the Shared Practice. Then select at least two more goals you created in the Week 6 Individual Reflection and develop an action plan for those goals. For each goal, be sure to provide concrete and specific examples of why the goal is important, the personal or professional value you expect from achieving the goal, and how the goal relates to the resources you reviewed in the course up to now. (Hint: If your action includes career goals, consider visiting the Career Boost Discussion Forum and using the tools and resources the Walden Career Services Center developed. In this discussion forum you can also share ideas with your colleagues, network with your peers, and trade advice.)The Assignment:As you begin this assignment, review the broad range of topics presented throughout the course related to leadership and followership. For this Individual Reflection, select concepts or topics that resonated with you during this course and commit to learning more about them. Consider the following:What can you do now to integrate the experiences and insights you had in this course with your personal and professional development goals?What are the most important things you are taking from this course that will shape your future and enable you to make a positive difference?Both components of the assignment should be turned in as one document:The Executive Summary:Write an Executive Summary of the course to date (2–3 paragraphs) that addresses the following questions:Which content and assignments in this course most helped you better understand the roles of leadership and followership within your organization (or one with which you are familiar), and what impact have they had, or do you anticipate they will have, on the value you will bring to your role within an organization?How have the content and assignments changed the way you think about leadership and followership and the way you will practice these skills?How have the content and assignments shaped your goals?How has the content help you appreciate the role leaders and followers have in achieving positive social change within an organization, a community, or on a larger scale?Your action plans:Write a detailed action plan for at least three goals. One of the goals should be the one you submitted for the Week 7 Shared Practice. These action plans should include the following:Your three specific goals for professional and personal development with an explanation as to why you selected each goal. For each goal, be sure to provide concrete and specific examples of why the goal is important,; the extent to which each goal enables you to be an agent for positive social change; the personal or professional value you expect from achieving each goal, and how the goal relates to the resources you reviewed in the course until now.At least two objectives for each goal you have identified. Provide a rationale that explains how your objectives support the goal.At least two measurable milestones for each objective you identified as well as the time lines for ensuring progress for each milestone.A reasonable time line for ensuring progress toward your stated goals, with an explanation as to why your time line is reasonable. (Hint: Revisit the interactive media piece Action Plan and use the “Action Plan Worksheet” to help you develop the action plan for each goal. You may also want to review the CareerBoost Forum and Resources for this course as you think about your goals, objectives, and milestones. If you have not visited the MBA Resources link within the Career Center. You can find this by clicking on the Career Boost tool link found in the Forum.)Be sure to include appropriate citations in your executive summary and action plans. Both components should be submitted as one document. This is a good time to refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style as you finalize your Blueprint for Professional & Personal Growth to ensure that your paper is in the proper format and that you are properly citing and referencing your sources.Refer to the Weeks 6 and 7 Individual Reflection rubric found under the Course Information tab for specific criteria for this assignment. Your instructor will use this rubric to assess your work.Blueprint for Professional and Personal Growth (BPPG): A Potential for Self-PlagiarismWhen developing your Blueprint for Professional and Personal Growth (BPPG) for this course, you may find that you are utilizing some information that you presented in the discussions or assignments in this course or information that you have presented in previous courses, including previous BPPG submissions. Walden recognizes this situation with the caveat that you may use only small portions of your previously submitted work as background or foundational material for additional development in a subsequent assignment or research project: Refer to Section 3 of the Student Handbook, Academic Integrity section in the Code of Conduct: found at http://catalog.waldenu.edu/content.php?catoid=155&navoid=51011. However, when doing so, you must be careful not to commit a form of academic integrity known as self-plagiarism. If you reuse sections of your previously submitted work without providing the proper citation and reference, you are committing self-plagiarism. This is a violation of Academic Integrity as defined in the Student Code of Conduct. To ensure that you follow the Academic Integrity standards you must take care to properly cite and reference any reused sections of previously submitted work. For example, if Johana Smithe reuses a section of their BPPG from the previous class, they would cite this section as a quotation: (Smithe, 20xx, p.y) and provide a reference in the Reference page: Smithe, J. (20xx). Blue print for professional growth for WMBA60xx. Unpublished manuscript, Walden University. Please take some time to review the information at the Writing Center concerning self-plagiarism and how to properly cite yourself.
