History

By the 1750s, North American colonists possessed a dual identity: they were both British in their attempts at Anglicization and also distinctly

American. What factors contributed to this dual identity? What reinforced the British identity? What reinforced the American identity? Be sure to

discuss political, cultural, social, and economic aspects of society.

World War I
For this assignment, the class will discuss the perspectives of the two sides for and against restrictions on free speech in World War I: Oliver

Wendell Holmes was on the side of restricting it in the Schenck decision in March 1919, supporting the 100% Americanists, and then he seemingly

switched sides in the Abrams decision, opposing restrictions on speech in that decision of November 1919. You will write a minimum of two

paragraphs discussing the positions assigned to your group (see below). A good paragraph should include about 6 sentences minimum – a 1-2

sentence paragraph is never enough. Be comprehensive in your coverage of the assigned readings.

Feel free to write in character as a person from the World War I homefront (ex: if you are in favor of restricting free speech, pretend to be a

100% Americanist supporting the Schenck decision; if you are against restricting free speech, pretend to be an opponent of war supporting

Holmes’s dissent in the Abrams decision). Use examples from the various readings to support your analysis. Answer the following questions for

your assigned perspective:
Answer the questions in favor of restricting free speech
1A. For Restricting Free Speech (answer these questions if you are in Groups 1 or 2) According to Holmes and you, what conditions and/or type of

speech, if they exist, give the government the right to limit free speech? Why is Holmes correct in your view? What is going on in the world

when this decision was handed down that helps us understand why Holmes was inclined to limit free speech in this case and at this time, but not

eight months later when he ruled in the Abrams decision protecting the right of free speech? In other words, explain how the times in which a

decision is made can shape the nature of the decision that the Court reaches? Your answer should reflect the main points of Chapter 21 on the

homefront, the video above, AND the Schenck opinion of O.W. Holmes.
For your particular reading, be sure to answer all of the above questions relevant to your reading. Your answer should reflect the main points

from the reading, including extensive use of the primary source (Holmes on Schenck/Holmes on Abrams). Be sure to use examples to support your

main points. Proof your answer before submitting it as errors in grammar and spelling will lead to a deduction in points. Use quotations when

using the exact wording from the reading. Most of your answer should be in your own words and be sure to cite any quotes used in your answer.

Use only the above sources for this assignment: DO NOT USE ANY OUTSIDE SOURCES FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT. If you do, you will receive a “0” for the

assignment.

The homefront in World War I was both an effect and a cause. It was the effect of Wilson’s determination that American entry into the first

World War would make the world adopt American values, democratic institutions and end war for all time. Many Americans, believing in these

goals, thought that no one should be allowed to oppose a cause so great. Others, opposed to the war, thought the war was a bloody disaster for

the nation and its people and a boon to greedy bankers and arms manufacturers. They included pacifists such as Jane Addams, Socialists such as

Eugene Debs and radicals of a variety of stripes. The conflict between the two sides, the supporters of “100% Americanism” who wanted to

restrict freedom of speech and the opponents of war who wanted to push free speech to its limits, polarized American and contributed to

divisions in the following decade known as the “Tribal Twenties.” In this discussion, you will explore the connections between the war and its

homefront divisions, on the one hand, and the degree to which the limits of free speech were defined for the future.
Required Readings
Read the following sources for this discussion:

1. Excerpt from Chapter 21 of The American Yawp
2. How the World War I Homefront and Foreign Policy Influenced EachOther
3. O.W. Holmes’s majority opinion in Schenck vs. U.S. (March 1919)
4. O.W. Holmes’s Dissent in Abrams v. U.S. (November 1919)

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In Romans 14 Paul goes to some length in discussing the then controversial issue of eating meat that had been offered to idols. In sum, the issue was that there were those Christians in the church at Rome who could eat meat that had been previously offered to pagan idols. They ate without conviction from the Spirit, and probably did so as a point of relating to their secular counterparts in hopes of winning them to Christ. There were others, those who had been set free from idolatry, and who could not begin to eat meat that had been offered to idols. They would sooner starve than to subject themselves to reminders of such paganism. Mind you, this is the man who said he was “all things to all men”
(1 Cor 9.22) for the purpose of winning them to Christ.

No doubt, there were those in the early church who had convictions they would not violate, not even in the name of being relevant to their culture. Others could participate in behaviors that their fellow Christians could not. These were matters of conviction. That said, there were other issues that were not matters of conviction. Christians were still to abide by the guidance of the OT and the teachings of Christ. They could not sin sexually or get drunk with their secular counterparts in the name of relevance.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a 2 page Word document, reflect on and answer the following questions:
a. To what extent do we go in an effort to relate the Gospel, and be relevant to those we are attempting to communicate with?
b. Paul was crude at times in some of his references in his letters? Are we allowed the same, and how far do we go?
c. What verbiage is inappropriate when communicating the Gospel?
d. Can we use secular illustrations to prove spiritual points, and if so, how secular can they be?
e. How far can or should we go in the use of secular film clips, writings, or other examples of secularism in helping to communicate Gospel truth?
f. To what extent does our particular audience or preaching venue have a bearing on what tool(s) we can use in the name of relevance?
g. What are those connection points you see as invalid and inappropriate for Christians to engage in, and why? Again, be specific.
h. What are those connection points you see as invalid and inappropriate for Christians to engage in, and why? Again, be specific.
i. In sum, how close do we get to the edge of propriety when conveying the Gospel?
j. Any other thoughts you feel are germane?

 

Technical Report
Based on the scenario you find below, you are to write a technical report for the senior executive of the company you work in, evaluating different

technologies to meet the company’s networking requirements. The rest of this specification is organised into two parts: 1) the scenario, which explains

the situation of the (imaginary) company you work for, and 2) the instructions how you should approach this task.
1. Scenario Your role / company overview: You have recently joined the IT department of CleverWeb.AU, a medium-sized company with around 40 employees in

Melbourne and another 30 in Sydney. Your company has grown fast and staff are not happy with the existing network technology. The plan is to upgrade the

company’s LANs and WAN according to current best industry practices, and to evaluate cloud-based alternatives to the current email and office

applications. You were hired as a data visualisation analyst, but when the CIO (Chief Information Officer) found out that you did FIT9135 as part of

your Master’s degree, she gave you the task to design the new network infrastructure.

Network requirements:
1. Up to now, the company was operating its own web server and mail server, and staff use a popular office application package with a word processor and

spreadsheet. Staff complain that the office package made it difficult to collaboratively create documents (e.g. with staff from Melbourne and Sydney

working together). They are also unhappy with the amount of storage available for emails on the local server, and that searching through those emails is

very slow. The requirement is therefore to upgrade the email and office services to be more efficient and to enable easier collaboration. 2. The LANs

are currently implemented using 100 Mbit/s switched Ethernet. This has become problematic, because staff would like to BYOD (“Bring your own device”),

e.g. using their smartphones in the company network (WiFi is currently not available). Each location (Melbourne and Sydney) has its own subnet. The two

locations are connected via a leased line (a packet-switched circuit) that is operated by one of the big Australian telecommunications providers, with a

router at each location. The Melbourne office operates a file server, which is also accessible from Sydney, so that files can be shared between the two

locations. The same telco provider is also used for Internet access (each site has its own separate connection to the Internet). Management is unhappy

with the high costs associated with the leased line. The requirement is to upgrade the LAN to current best practice hardware, including potential WiFi

solutions, and to find a better solution for the connection of the two locations.

Your task: For the first requirement, your task is to do some research on the advantages and disadvantages of replacing the dedicated mail server and

office packages with so-called Software-as-a-Service solutions. For the second requirement, your task is to propose what kind of technology should be

used to replace the old 100 Mbit/s Ethernet, and potentially the leased line. Consider which devices need to be updated, whether wireless networks may

make sense, and whether the leased line is required (based on the proposal for requirement 1).

Research and analysis expected in the report: • The CIO wants to be informed about the options at a technical level. However, they expect you to give

them enough arguments to also convince senior management, in particular with respect to costs and benefits of any new technology. • Go into some

technical detail to explain differences between technologies. It will be useful to create tables for some of the comparisons. You can answer questions

such as o What devices are involved in each option and what are their functions? o How does hosting your own servers and using offline office packages

compare to online platforms in terms of scalability, reliability, up-front versus long-term costs, and security/privacy concerns? o What kind of (wired

and wireless) network technology should be installed in the new office space to facilitate the mobility of the staff and enable BYOD? o What are

alternatives to leased lines?

2. Instructions Writing reports is an essential aspect of any IT career. You will be expected to deliver reports that are accurate and factual, that

provide evidence for your findings, and that look professional.

Before you start Before starting to write, think about your audience, i.e., who is reading the report? Don’t write for your tutors. Write for your CIO

and her decision making team! Carefully read the marking rubric on Moodle to find out what we expect you to write for the different grades.

Sources and referencing
Any claims or recommendations that you make should be substantiated with supporting references. That means that you cannot just claim that A is better

than B, you must argue why that is the case and point to external sources that can serve as evidence. You can use the unit’s textbook and other standard

literature as sources, but you will also need to use additional online and published resources to find all the technical information and commercial

details for this report. Whenever you use material from an external source, make sure that you reference that source. You also need to assess the

quality and reliability of the source – e.g., a company might say that their product is better than the competition’s, but you cannot easily trust them.

An independent expert review of different technologies is much more trustworthy. 5 You should use the APA referencing style, which is explained in

detail here: http://intranet.monash.edu.au/infotech/resources/students/style-guide/referencing.html

Presentation
Your report should look professional, which means you need to pay attention to spelling, punctuation, grammar. It is important that your report has a

clear structure. There is a strict limit of three A4 pages with 11pt font, 2 cm margins for the text, plus an additional two pages for tables and

illustrations. Any text beyond this limit will not be marked. Title page, abstract, table of contents and list of references do not count towards the

page limit.

Explain what community policing, after the explanation, explain if you think the community policing model is less effective with dealing a community with violent or specific problems or if there is another model that may be better suited for the community. There are other forms of policing models such as problem-oriented , zero-tolerance or any other program through research you feel may be more effective.

The purpose of this final paper is to give you an opportunity to apply what has been learned in the course (through course lectures,

readings, and discussions) to problems in an organization of your choice. You should identify a public, private, or non-profit organization

to study (Please, no student groups). You can choose an organization where you work or have interests.

You should answer the following questions detailed below.
a) What are the issues or problems facing the organization?
b) What course concepts can be applied to understand why this problem is occurring?
c) What recommendations can you offer to help improve organizational functioning?

Your project will be evaluated on the following criteria:
a) Problem definition: How well (i.e., thoroughly and concisely) you describe the organizational context, the relevant parties, and

the factors that are important to the problem?
b) Accurate and thorough use of course concepts.
c) Integration of course concepts with information about the company and problem, i.e., how well you integrate course concepts with

information about the problem to illuminate the problem in a way that leads to solutions?
d) Extent to which recommendations are consistent with analysis.
e) Quality of written analysis.
