The onset of technological advancements The onset of technological advancements has impacted almost every aspect of human life. The incorporation of social media in schools continues to generate mixed reactions from educators and other concerned parties. Indeed, social media in education, especially its application in a classroom setting, can help elevate the level of education in schools. According to Ferriman (2013), there has been an increase in the use of social media platforms in schools since 2012. Such a revelation demonstrates the trust educators have on the ability of these social media platforms to uplift education standards within schools. When modern learning strategies integrate technology, student-centered learning activities, and effective communication, they create a productive learning environment for students. In their article, Boateng & Amankwaa (2016) note that social media has the power to create meaningful collaborations among students, streamline classroom communication, and boost teacher-student relationships. When educators integrate social media into their lesson plans, they expose students to real-world scenarios and experiences that are integral to the learning process (Liu, 2019). An overlooked thought is that using social media…

Public Policy Issues Introduction Every government or state has a responsibility to ensure that its citizens enjoy safety and security. Therefore, it comes up with public policies to mitigate social issues. The simplest way to describe public policy is the actions taken by a government or a state to address issues affecting its people. Public policies are generated by government or states through the law-making process. Law is part and parcel of public policy. The laws depict what will be done to a person if they do or do not do certain things (Ozawa, 2019). There are various attributes of public policy discussed below. One, a policy is developed from an issue or a sort of problem that needs attention.

The government directs the policies towards achieving particular goals or solving some problems. The governments form systems through their ideas or by interacting with customers. Making policy is a…

Information Censorship in the Digital Era    The digital era disguises as a period with certain rights to information and expression. However, different government regimes are employing technology to perpetrate information censorship against the masses by confusing them through disinformation and information overload. Their actions camouflage as a control against propaganda when it is an approach to limit their level of transparency.  Freedom of speech in the internet era has invited information censorship from authorities, which not only denies individual rights to information access but also increases the risk of fabrication due inability to distinguish noise from reality. Censorship affects individual judgment on issues. First, it is impossible to distinguish facts from fiction or even trace an idea to its source for proper analysis.  Consequently, citizens are unable to hold their leaders responsible for specific predicaments emanating from their actions.  Despite the various ways in which freedom of expression affects an individual’s political perspective, it also affects the people on a personal level. For instance, I have experienced bullying and trolls from other internet users executing their freedom of speech…

The data breach The data breach has become the talk, and this is due to an increase in the number of incidences that involve data breach that is being reported. Data is sensitive, and whenever there is a breach, the company or business is impacted significantly, and this has also contributed to the fall of many companies across the globe. There are many data breach incidences over the past few months. Newegg incidence caught my eye and I will like to dive into this incidence as I explore how a data breach can impact both the organization and the user or client’s trust. Financial gains mostly motivate cybercrime, and this is the reason why organizations must come up with mitigation factors to help in preventing a data breach. In the case of Newegg, a cybercrime group known as Magecard was able to compromise the systems with malicious code. The code was able to compromise credit card information of clients who transact online. The same group is also responsible for high profile attacks that have impacted the operations of many organizations.…

Research Report Question 1 The specific topic for the research report is about the use of social media by children and adolescents. There is no doubt that the increased rate of technological revolution has resulted in increased use of social media among children and adolescents because they can afford mobile phones and computers. Increased competition and drive for business moguls have led to the diversification of social media platforms, which include Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Whatsapp. Additionally, the United States is a developed country; hence parents can afford to buy mobile phones and computers. The majority of the children and adolescents have created accounts on either of the social media platforms. Question 2 I am arguing about the negative effects of social media use on children and adolescents.

CIVIL RIGHTS PRESIDENTS SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE Presidents did not do enough during the movement because the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was not the beginning of the end of American racism but the beginning of the belief that America was ending racism.
