Strengths and weakness of Security Systems in areas like malls

Strengths and weakness of Security Systems in areas like malls

This is an assignment that focuses on the strengths and weakness of areas in malls like Springdale. Other malls include West Mall, and the downtown area.

Strengths and weakness of areas in malls like Springdale

Firstly, read the case scenario. T‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍he major shopping areas in the community of Springdale include Springdale Mall, West Mall, and the downtown area on Main Street. A telephone survey has been conducted to identify strengths and weaknesses of these areas and to find out how they fit into the shopping activities of local residents. The 150 respondents were also asked to provide information about themselves and their shopping habits. The data are provided in the file SHOPPING.

The variables in the survey can be found in the file CODING. We will concentrate on variables 18–25, which reflect how important each of eight different attributes is in the respondent’s selection of a shopping area. Each of these variables has been measured on a scale of 1 (the attribute is not very important in choosing a shopping area) to 7 (the attribute is very important in choosing a shopping area). The attributes being rated for importance are below.

Examining the relative importance customers place on these attributes can help a manager “fine-tune” his or her shopping area to make it a more attractive place to shop.

  • 18 Easy to return/exchange goods
  • 19 High quality of goods
  • 20 Low prices
  • 21 Good variety of sizes/styles
  • 22 Sales staff helpful/friendly
  • 23 Convenient shopping hours
  • 24 Clean stores and surroundings
  • 25 A lot of bargain sales

Secondly, perform the following operations for variables 18–25:

Compute descriptive statistics for each variable along with an explanation of what the descriptive statistics tell us about the variable. Additionally, this will include the mean, mode, range, standard deviation, and the 5-number summary (minimum, first quartile (Q1), median (Q2), third quartile (Q3), and maximum).

Additional requirements

Lastly, be sure to show each ‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍calculation in your spreadsheet. Are there any data points for any of the variables that can be outliers? However, if there are any outliers in any variable, please list them and state for which variable they are an outlier. Also, use the z-score method to determine any outliers for this question. Be sure to also show each z-score calculation in your spreadsheet for each variable. Based on the results for question 1, which attributes seem to be the most important and the least important in respondents’ choice of a shopping area? Which items from #1 did you use to decide on the least and most important attributes, and why? Finally, determine the correlation coefficient between variable 19 and variables 21–25.

We have covered two chapters from our Concise Guide to Critical Thinking textbook. In Chapter 1, students learned why critical thinking matters, as well as how to identify claims, reasons and arguments.

We have covered two chapters from our Concise Guide to Critical Thinking textbook

We have covered two chapters from our Concise Guide to Critical Thinking textbook. In Chapter 1, students learned why critical thinking matters, as well as how to identify claims, reasons and arguments. In Chapter 2, students learned about obstacles to critical thinking. When we surrender to “self-centered thinking”; “group-centered thinking”; “resisting contrary evidence”; looking for confirming evidence” and “preferring available evidence” we are not doing justice to our argument. Also covered in Chapter 2, we learned about philosophical obstacles, such as “subjective relativism”; “social relativism” and “skepticism.” For all of these rules, you look to the opposite in order to write. You try your best not to fall into these traps, but to instead make legitimate connections and provide credible evidence. Be realistic about the opposition.

Critical thinking

To borrow from the mission statement for the nonprofit debate program Intelligence squared, you are going to write an essay that is “grounded by facts and informed by reasoned analysis.” Try not to fall into any old habits formed before you learned about how to critically evaluate.

Taking all that you have learned so far into consideration, you will select a question from the following list and write a three-page essay defending a statement pertaining to the issue. Pick whichever side you prefer, but make sure you are applying what you have learned.

I have tried to pick some contemporary controversial issues for you all to choose from. Apply what you have learned. Let the mix of ideas settle into a cohesive and well-connected piece of writing. The objective here is to present a three-page critical argument (plus a Works Cited page). It doesn’t matter which side you choose. You need to establish a central idea, come up with a solid thesis statement, and then construct a logical argument. The logical argument will depend heavily on the credibility of the support points you make. You need to incorporate at least two outside sources, to explain why each is credible and how it connects to and supports your claim. In short, you need to demonstrate the application of synthesis, which means a series of parts that come together to form a whole. In this case, your ideas will come together to prove your claim.

Hopefully there is at least one question listed below that will intrigue you. Again, choose only one.

1.      Are the media biased?

2.      Should a single corporation to own as many media outlets (newspapers, radio and TV stations, publishers, etc.) as it wants?

3.      Should the US government arrest and indefinitely imprison without trial any American citizen who is a suspect of terrorism?

4.      Should racial profiling  do security screening of airline passengers?

5.      Should Doctor-assisted suicide be legal?

6.      Should anti-vaxxers force to vaccinate their kids?

7.      Should trans-gendered people use the bathroom of their choice?

8.      Should people get fired for what they say on Social Media?

9.      Should athletes be allowed to kneel during the National Anthem?

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act – What is it?

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act – What is it?

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. What is it? When was it enacted? What agencies oversee its enforcement? Provide some examples of court cases that involved violations of this act.

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act- What is it?

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. What is it?
When was it enact ed?
What agencies oversee its enforcement? Provide some examples of court cases that involved violations of this act.
What are some of the punishment(s) if someone is found guilt?

Firstly, The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a U.S. federal law to limit the collection and use of personal information about children by the operators of Internet services and Web sites. Passed by the U.S. Congress in 1998, the law took effect in April 2000.

Secondly, Federal Trade Commission (FTC) administers and enforces it . COPPA is “the first U.S. privacy law for the Internet,” Melissa Campanelli wrote in Entrepreneur. “It was specifically for Internet marketers that operate Web sites visited by children under the age of 13 and collect personal information from those kids. Its purpose is to regulate that collection.”

Thirdly, The FTC conducted a survey of 212 Web sites in 1998 and found that 89 percent of them collected personal information from children.

Also, Of those that collected data from children, 46 percent did not disclose this fact or explain how the information was used.

Furthermore, The law addresses the potential problem by requiring Web sites and other online services directing toward children under the age of 13—as well as general audience sites that collect personal information from children—to obtain verifiable consent from the children’s parents.

Moreover, “Its stated purpose is to protect children from micro-targeting by advertisers and to minimize the potential for contact with dangerous individuals through chat rooms, e-mail, and bulletin boards by involving parents in kids’ online activities,” Monica Rogers explained in Crain’s Chicago Business.

More on Worse than slavery

In this sensitively told tale of suffering, brutality, and inhumanity, Worse Than Slavery is an epic history of race and punishment in the deepest South from emancipation to the civil rights era—and beyond.

Immortalized in blues songs and movies like Cool Hand Luke and The Defiant Ones, Mississippi’s infamous Parchman State Penitentiary was, in the pre-civil rights south, synonymous with cruelty. Now, noted historian David Oshinsky gives us the true story of the notorious prison. He draws on police records, prison documents, folklore, blues songs, and oral history. From the days of cotton-field chain gangs to the 1960s, when Parchman was used to break the wills of civil rights workers who journeyed south on Freedom Rides.

Authors are not always well serve by the publicity releases their publishers send out. The Free Press acclaims ” ‘Worse Than Slavery’ ” as ”a window into a shocking and neglected century of despair. A forgotten era in black history.” The story of despair may indeed be shocking to many readers, but it has been neither neglected by historians nor forgotten by African-Americans, whose music, art and folklore have preserved it in all its depressing but vital diversity.

 

 

Transcript Transcription conventions approaches to language analysis

Transcript Transcription conventions approaches to language analysis

This essay entails a paper on the Transcript Transcription conventions and the different approaches to language analysis. Transcript Transcription conventions helps in the management and transfer of different forms of speech to different groups of people.

Transcript Transcription conventions approaches to language analysis

Firstly, Description Drawing on the range of frameworks/approaches to language analysis that you have come across in Section 3 of the module materials. Demonstrate how close analysis of language can provide evidence for your answer. Include in your discussion a reflection on why you have chosen particular approaches to language analysis. Why they are appropriate for this task, and how they complement each other.

Also, the limitations of the data you have drawn on, and what additional information or types of data you might have used to do a more in-depth analysis. A brief discussion of the roles and positions constructed for the elderly patient by the doctor and the patient’s daughter as evidenced in the transcript.

Furthermore the background to the interaction Doctor E: (professor), male in his sixties Patient: female, aged 75 Third-party: patient’s daughter. The patient has been describing pins and needles in her leg when she tries to walk.

The transcript begins about five minutes into the consultation, during which the daughter has said very little, while the doctor and patient discuss symptoms and medication another doctor has prescribed so far. Transcript Transcription conventions used in this extract are: (.) un-timed short pause (1.0) pause timed in seconds (quietly) informal commentary on style or context of following utterance(s) ? indicates question function.

Section 2

Secondly, line numbers indicate speaking turns in a particular extract The task requires you to analyse the data provided, using at least one (or maximum two) of the frameworks/approaches that you have encountered in Section 3 of the module.

These include: ethnography (Unit 13) politeness theory (Unit 14). Intercultural pragmatics (Unit 15) systemic functional linguistics (Unit 16, Unit 17) genre analysis (Unit 18). The terms framework and approach are used interchangeably here as you may come across both in your reading while preparing for this TMA. The aim of your analysis is to explain what is going in the interaction. Make sense of some assumptions about the elderly, highlighted by the transcript.

Also, Did the movie align with your own views on religion and faith (negative or positive)? Who or what do the characters put the trust in? -Each other? No one? God? Nothing?

Discussion question:

Firstly, What movie did you watch? – should be obvious
