Confucius was once asked if there was one rule that could serve as the guide to one’s whole life. He replied: “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.” How does this rule compare with Jesus’ teaching on the Golden Rule? Look at these Biblical verses to see if you can tell the difference: Matthew 7:12; Matthew 5:21-26, 43-48 (see the Webliography for an online Bible). Is there one rule that you live by?

paragraph 2-

which position makes more sense to you? Confucius’ position that people are basically bad and need to learn good, or Mencius’ position that people are basically good and have learned bad? Or can these positions be reconciled in some way?

paragraph 1-

The ideas of the Tao Te Ching (Daodejing) have been widely translated into English. Some might recall the delightful children’s version of The Tao of Poo and The Te of Piglet. Consider this saying: “The best man is like water. Water is good; it benefits all things and does not compete with them. It dwells in places that all disdain…The best man in his dwelling loves the earth…” What does this mean to you? Do you agree with this philosophy? Can you see any connection between Taoism and the environmental movement? Elaborate.

QUESTION: Examine representation of gender in at least two different musical genres. You can refer to video images and lyrics, but you must also make reference to musical meaning.
NAME OF COURSE: Music as Communication and Creative Practice
There is a minimum of 6 books required as sources (reference to quotes and ideas) and internet sources are unlimited.
Examples should be as original as possible.
During that week we learned basically looked at the relationship between identity and genre. As people are drawn to different genres for a whole range of complex reasons, but often it links to issues of social and cultural identity. We looked at how different genres of popular music have become sexualized, racialized and gendered, and in turn how they provide different types of emotion and feeling at different moments in time. Moreover, we consider genre as constructed through commercial imperatives, thereby introducing industry and capitalism as a major force in the social and cultural experience of music and sound.
We looked examples in rap, disco music, metal, rock and etc.

It is very important to test and validate your digital forensic tools before use. This not only gives you the confidence in your tools but allows you to testify in court that your tools were working properly before exposing important digital evidence to them. Try your hand at developing a simple testing PLAN based on a specific software or hardware tool. For example, you may decide you want to test the forensic acquisition functionality of FTK Imager (which is available for free from http://www.accessdata.com/support/product-downloads); you may want to visit a site that provides free forensic software tools (like http://forensiccontrol.com/RESOURCES/free-software/) and test one you find there; or you could even choose something as simple as your own word processing software. Pick just ONE specific aspect of the tool you choose (such as the ability of FTK Imager to capture physical memory, or the ability of your word processor to view a document’s properties or metadata), and design a simple step-by-step method to test or validate that aspects of the tool’s process.

Drafting a testing and validation plan is not difficult; we do this type of thing in our daily lives all the time without knowing it. The basic question is: “How do I know that my ______ is working properly?” That’s it… Bottom line. For example, consider something as simple as a pair of scissors. If you were going to test a pair of scissors, what types of question would you ask yourself?

1. What are scissors for? Cutting, of course.

2. What could I use them for? Of what are they capable? Cutting paper. Cutting fabric. Cutting meat. Opening beer.

3. Could I design a test to validate that these scissors can, in fact, cut paper? Yes.

4. What will I need for this test? Scissors. 5 pieces of paper. About 5 minutes.

5. What action will I take to test this function? 1) Pick up scissors. 2) Pick up paper. 3) Open scissors. 4) Insert paper between blades. 5) Close scissors.

6. What is my standard for a completed test? That the two blades of the scissors came together in a scissoring motion when I closed the scissors.

7. What result would validate that these scissors can successfully be used for cutting? The paper was cut into two separate pieces along the points where the blades of the scissors met.

8. How do I know this isn’t a fluke or a coincidence? Repeat 4 more times. If same result, then the ability of the scissors to cut paper is confirmed. Meaning, I can say that I tested them, and I’d be confident using them in the future and reasonably sure I would get the same result.

It is that simple. Obviously, your testing of a forensic tool should be presented in a more “official” and formal way than just a serious of questions and short answers, but you get the idea… If you want to CHECK out some testing anf validation reports created by professionals, check out the NIST Computer Forensic Tool Testing (CFTT) Project.

A summary provides some basic guidelines for evaluating ethical action. One or two pages, typed, double- spaced, with MLA style citations, summarizing the ethical outlook, approach, model, paradigm, or style of one primary text selected from course readings. Here the writer does not mention anything about a case that is to be deliberated. This is just the place to listen and learn from the teachings of the text. Choose three direct quotes and tell me why do you pick that, and what is the teaching behind it. Properly cited. Instead of a Works Cited page, please add a Works Cited section after your summary. Please cited as a electronic source with MLA style.
Course requirements for MLA citations: each direct quote must have a citation, and the citation should include location information where available, such as book number, chapter number, and section number. Please do not supply a Works Cited page; just place the work cited at the end of your summary. Following with the place that you find it from.
