After reading the Lesson Seven material, go the the following link and read the essay by Carl Sagan entitled A New Way To Think About Rules To Live By: http://tetrahedral.blogspot.com/2011/12/carl-sagans-new-way-to-think-about.html

Afterward, please write an essay addressing the following questions.

2. Red Corp hires you to consult on an ethical issue they are facing. Red Corp recently discovered that its customer database has been hacked and published online, along with the customer database of its biggest competitor, Blue Corp. Red Corp had no prior knowledge of or involvement with the hacking until a Red Corp employee stumbled upon the files published on the internet and brought it to the attention of Red Corp management.

Red Corp has no idea how the files were hacked and published, or by whom. Obviously, since Blue Corp’s customer database is also published online, Red Corp doesn’t believe that Blue Corp had anything to do with the hacking (i.e. it appears Blue Corp was a victim to the same hacking as Red Corp).

Red Corp doesn’t know if Blue Corp knows about the databases online yet. Red Corp believes that if Blue Corp knew about it, Blue Corp would almost certainly use Red Corp’s customer information against Red Corp (i.e. try to steal Red Corp’s customers). Red Corp checked its account activity over the last quarter, and there doesn’t appear to be any unusual changes in business, so it is unlikely that Blue Corp knows about the databases (yet). Red Corp has begun the legal process of petitioning for its database to be removed from the internet, but the process is expected to take at least a few weeks because of the information rights issues involved.

What do you advise Red Corp to do? Tell Blue Corp about the databases online, and hope they will agree to a mutual good faith non-use of competitor information? Use Blue Corp’s database and go after Blue Corp’s customers, in anticipation that Blue Corp will likely do the same eventually? Ignore it and hope that Blue Corp doesn’t find it? Something else? On which of the rule(s) discussed in the Sagan essay do you base your recommendations, and why?

3. Suppose that Red Corp decides to use the database, and begins under-bidding Blue Corp and taking its customers. Witnessing this, Blue Corp investigates and discovers the customer databases (both Blue Corp’s and Red Corp’s) online. If Blue Corp does nothing, it believes that Red Corp will continue to steal customers. Blue Corp hires you to consult on a response. What do you advise Blue Corp to do? Retaliate? Ignore the information and the attack by Red Corp? Something else? On which of the rule(s) discussed in the Sagan essay do you base your recommendations, and why?

4. Did you rely on the same rules in your advice to question #1 and #2?
If you did, can you think of a different set of circumstances in which you would have given different advice (and relied on different rules)?
If you did not, why not? How were these situations different such that the difference caused you to change your basis of morality?

Assignment 4: Entertainment Media Activity Now that you know a little bit more about the nature of intimate partner violence (IPV), this assignment will challenge you to think critically about how stereotypes and myths about IPV are found throughout our entertainment media (e.g., television, movies, music, video games). As a sociologist, any time I engage with the media I always think about what viewers might be learning that isnt obviously on the surface. This assignment is a chance for you to do the same. As you go through, you may want to think about your learning strategy as a five-step process (I’ve annotated the “5 E’s” below). Preparation for this Assignment Step 1: Engage – Search for a media source that portrays dating relationships and conflict. For this assignment, you are going to watch and report on a television show or movie that portrays intimate relationships or conflict between intimate partners. You can choose to analyze a show or movie you already know about (I encourage you to re-watch it), or pick something new. You will be surprised how prevalent stereotypes and potentially harmful misconceptions about IPV are in media once you are looking for them. Step 2: Explore – Use course content to identify IPV warning signs or stereotypes in your media choice. Here are a few examples that come to mind for me: 1) Twilight movies: a much older man (since vampires are supposed to be hundreds of years old) hangs around a high-school girl, watching her sleep (stalking) and frightening her until she eventually falls in love with him, then physically fights other suitors for her love. 2) Disneys Beauty and the Beast movie: A man who is literally a monster kidnaps a woman, isolates her from her family, verbally abuses and controls her until she learns to reinterpret his behavior and change her own behavior until a loving prince magically emerges. 3) Scandal television series: A story about a single woman, Olivia, who is romantically involved with a married man, President Grant. Written Assignment (20 points) Step 3: Explain – Identify examples from your media choice by using the correct IPV terms to describe what you see. After watching your chosen movie or television show, please write a brief, three-paragraph analysis of IPV themes you found in the movie or show. This report will be for a discussion board, to be shared with your classmates. Paragraph 1 Identify the title and/or episode of the media you watched, and provide a brief summary of the plot in a few sentences. Be sure to inform the reader about the specific relationship, characters, or event that you will analyze in depth. Paragraph 2 Go into detail about one specific example of a relationship, character, or event that portrays a stereotype or misconception about IPV. In this section, I want you to use SPECIFIC TERMINOLOGY from the textbook or course material, providing citations if necessary. For example, you might discuss a specific behavior, a stereotypical or unrealistic response to a behavior, or a specific psychological trait exhibited by a character. Step 4: Elaborate – Consider how and why the IPV myth or stereotypes are being portrayed in media. Paragraph 3 Provide your opinion on whether or not the show should have portrayed this IPV-related issue this way? Should the writers of the show change the way they wrote that part, or not? Can you make recommendations on how the movie/show could be more realistic, or be more socially responsible in their portrayal of IPV? Do you think movies/television shows reinforce dangerous stereotypes, or could entertainment media be used to educate and inform people as well? What might that look like?

ASSIGNMENTSI ASSESSMENTS PAPER: One research paper focusing on race relations in the U.S. is required for the course. Historically in the United States, people of color often faced legal and defacto discrimination which kept them from voting. It has been argued that mechanisms to prevent certain people of color from full voting participation are still being employed in the twenty-first century. Your paper is to examine racial discrimination in voting in the twenty-first century, focusing on evidence of systematic techniques or strategies used to prevent identifiable racial groups from voting in the United States. Minimum: 10 pages of double-spaced text plus citations and references. ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES FOR THE SOC 215 PAP?ER The main assignment for this paper is written on your syllabus. Below is additional information for helping you write a good paper. 1. Focus on systematic tactics/methods which discriminate against or suppress the vote of racialized groups in the United States from the year 2000 to the present. 2. Systematic does not mean an isolated case (EG. a supporter of candidate A slashes the tires of a supporter of candidate B). Systematic tactics are ones set up through groups or organizations to have a broad impact. 3. Your paper should include different types of techniques or methods used to suppress the vote or steer it to one group’s advantage. You should be able to locate at least six types or methods of discrimination. Each type or method should be explained, and a specific case or specific cases should be used to illustrate the method. The method may need some explanation as to whether it was legally or illegally done. Sometimes cases of voting discrimination are reviewed by the United States Commission on Civil Rights. For example, there was an investigation of the 2000 presidential election by the USCCR. 4. Some of these methods were historically challenged by the Voting Rights Act of 1965. A section of the act overturned was by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2013. Is there evidence that this court decision permitted a return to previous methods of voting discrimination? 5. Cite all quotes in the text of your paper (author date page) and cite all information you have retrieved for your paper in the text (author date). Include full references at the end of your paper under the heading REFERENCES. The stronger your references, the better your argument. At least ten references from reliable sources should be used. Reliable sources include work from academic journals, respected investigative journalistic sources, etc. Reliable sources do not include blogs, wikipedia, etc. 1. Racialized controlling images in the media 2. Institutionalized affirmative action 3. Racism in historical context .
