First Amendment Assignment As we have learned from our reading, the meaning of the Constitution is constantly being revised and refined by federal court decisions - not just the landmark cases described in your book, but hundreds of cases that work their way through the court system every year. The First Amendment to our Constitution guarantees the freedom of speech, but - as with other civil liberties that freedom is not absolute. You can't incite specific acts of violence. You can't reveal military secrets during wartime. You can't slander people without consequence. You can, however, express just about any opinion you wish, even when that opinion causes great distress to other citizens. An example is the Westboro Baptist Church, a small church near Topeka, Kansas, whose members protest against homosexuality at the funerals of American soldiers. In March, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari (look it up) in a case entitled Snyder v. Phelps, concerning whether the First Amendment protects the pastor (Phelps) and members of Westboro from an "intentional infliction of emotional distress" lawsuit filed by the father (Snyder) of a fallen soldier whose funeral was the subject of a protest rally. The Court listened to oral arguments in October, and issued an 8-1 opinion on March 2, 2011. Please read the majority opinion and the dissenting opinion all the way through. Submit a three-to-five page essay about the case. Some issues to make sure you cover: 1. What is the case about? 2. What were the key issues? 3. What did Supreme Court majority decide and why? 4. What is a dissenting opinion, and what did Justice Alito say in his? 5. If you were on the Supreme Court, how would you rule in this case, and why? 6. In your opinion, should there be any limits on the freedom of speech? If so, what should they be, and why?

Message From the Consulting Company Director:We have a client who has, until now, maintained their data center within their main facility.After multiple breaches, they realize that their data is a risk and they need a new secure facility just for the data center. The breaches so far have been socially engineered, with one attacker actually getting inside the data center at the main facility and removing a hard drive with sensitive information.After their CIO investigated the incident, he found that the attacker had managed to manipulate a number of employees to get information and gain access.It appears that the employees “just wanted to help” and with lack of proper training, actually aided in the attack.They are in great need of our help. What I need you to do is to work with the IT department to develop a report and plan to: Determine where to relocate the Data Center Decide what physical security is needed to secure the site Determine what training is needed for the employees to decrease the risk of another attack. Determine appropriate countermeasures to deal with common threats. Devise a maintenance plan for review security on a regular basis.

OverviewThe objective of the 1500‐word essay is for you to apply theories and concepts from the module to complete a critical analysis of selected situations when you have worked with other people. The purpose is to reflect on how you can learn from applying theories and concepts in order to develop the effectiveness of how you work with other people. A critical analysis involves applying academic source materials (theories and concepts) to explore a particular situationwhen you have worked with other people to complete certain tasks or achieve particular outcomes in the past twelve months (e.g. workshop or tutorial tasks, a group project/assignment, undertaken a voluntary or paid role, participated in a sports team) in order to develop new insights and understanding. By applying theories as an analytical lens you will be able to show your critical engagement by expressing the benefits and limitations of the theories and concepts for making sense of your selected situation. Key definitions for the assignmentCritical analysis – involves applying academic source materials (theories and concepts from peer‐reviewed journal articles and books) to understand and examine a given case or situation by recognising the underlying assumptions of the theories and concepts applied, and so appreciating how different theories and concepts have benefits and limitations for making sense of particular contexts and situations. Theory (also relates to ‘theoretical perspective’ and ‘theoretical framework’) – explains particular organizational dynamics and relations e.g. Competing Values Framework. It is a perspective, model, framework or lens that we can use to help us to understand and make sense of a given situation, organization, group, manager etc. It is not understood to be an abstract and comprehensive representation of reality or a prescriptive way to be or do things right. Critique – relates to being critical in how you apply theory. In general, you can consider two types of related critique. Firstly, ‘general critique’ that have previously been written by others about general limitations of a theory e.g. that Maslow’s Hierarchy of Need is less applicable in collectivist cultures. Secondly, ‘specific or contextual critique’ that is about your judgement about how the theory does or doesn’t relate to your specific context of analysis, based on the particular individual, group and organisational dynamics involved in your study. Concept – is something that describes a particular organizational phenomenon e.g. social loafing. Situation – relates to a particular occasion when something happened (e.g. when I was working with a group of people on a specific task in a workshop or tutorial) or repeated engagement with the same people in the same setting (e.g. at a job, volunteering, participating in a sports team, completing a group assignment). Structuring your essay Your essay needs to be clearly structured as below: Introduction – explain what your essay will cover and in what order, which will include introducing the situation that you are going to analyse as well as mentioning which lecture topics and theories you will apply in your analysis. (about 150 words) Situation ‐ An account of the situation which includes information about: the background context of the group work, the task being completed, the people involved, what happened, and why you chose this situation. (about 250 words) Analysis: Topic 1 ‐ Application of theory/theories: explain briefly what theory or theories (maximum two) you are applying to the situation that is/are associated with your first chosen topic, explain what understanding you have developed about the situation by applying the theory. Topic 2 ‐ Application of theory/theories: explain briefly what theory or theories (maximum two) you are applying to the situation that is/are associated with your second chosen topic, explain what understanding you have developed about the situation by applying the theory. (about 350 words) Findings and reflections – bring together the key understanding from your application of theory. Explain what you think is the value of the theories for analysing your chosen situation of working with others. What are the benefits and limitations of the theories applied for making sense of your particular situation? From your analysis do you agree with assumptions about how people behave which underpin the theories applied? From what you have learnt from your analysis how will you improve the ways you work with other people in the future? (about 400 words) (about 350 words)
