Define privilege and its intersection with race, class, and gender. Are there individuals and/or groups who have benefited from that privilege, and how?

1. Terms like stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination in the criminal justice system were introduced to us through your class readings. Using those and our class analysis what has changed? Has it? (Make sure to define these terms and provide examples) Be specific. 2. Our readings have discussed White Collar Crime. What is it? Make sure to define the “victim” and “offender” and how they differ from other crimes? What effect do they have on juvenile offenders? 3. Define privilege and its intersection with race, class, and gender. Are there individuals and/or groups who have benefited from that privilege, and how? Vice versa what groups have suffered because of it?

Discuss these methods and give one example of how each would be used when conducting research using homeless individuals as subjects.

As highlighted in Chapter 9 of your course text, three research methods are available (descriptive, analytic, and evaluative). Discuss these methods and give one example of how each would be used when conducting research using homeless individuals as subjects. Analyze regulatory, accreditation, ethical, and legal issues and challenges related to each research method.

Describe how the disk arm moves to satisfy all the pending requests for each of the following disk-scheduling algorithms.

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read the following sections in your textbook: 9.1 to 9.6 and 9.9 in Chapter 9: Mass-Storage Structure. Finally, read the Operating System – Scheduling Algorithms tutorial (Links to an external site.). Part 1: To complete this assignment, consider the following scenario: A disk drive has 300 cylinders, numbered 0 to 299. The drive is currently serving a request at cylinder 51, and the previous request was at cylinder 56. The pending requests are received in the following order: 72, 56, 103, 111, 17, 189, 236, 198, and 88. Describe how the disk arm moves to satisfy all the pending requests for each of the following disk-scheduling algorithms. (Perhaps you create a diagram similar to the diagrams in Section 9.4 to support your explanation.) FCFS SSTF SCAN Calculate the total distance (in cylinders) that the disk arm moves for each of the above disk-scheduling algorithms. Compare the algorithms and explain which algorithm is the most efficient (the shortest distance) for this scenario. Part 2: Compare the algorithms and determine which is the fairest for the next process in the queue. Explain why this algorithm will always be the fairest disk-scheduling algorithm. Describe an example of circumstances where fairness would be an important goal. Describe a scenario where it would be important that the operating system be unfair.

Write a research paper about should we have laws to prevent profiting, selling, or quid pro quo of personal user. data?

Todays’ technology has been the new trend of all times. It is used by many people today including young children. Even though technology has been existing for decades now, it has never been so advanced and popular the way it is now. Today we use technology for everything and anything. Whether it is to check up on a family member, to pay a bill, or even to track down where your vehicle is. However, technology has been so advanced that now your phone, is capable of being your car key and your wallet all in one device. It’s impressive, but the unfortunate part, is that not many realize the issue that it carries along. Even though it becomes easier to carry your wallet in your phone, what no one realizes, is that your personal information becomes available to various of different branches. When you connect your personal information to a cellular device, your information becomes available to anyone that can access it. However, that is not all, even thought consumers might believe that their “privacy” is being kept in private, researchers have showed otherwise. As data is being collected, transnational data can be easily be re-identified in a matter of seconds. It is important that consumers know that their privacy can become easily accessible despite what new cellular device you have.

Discuss how a particular piece of evidence tends to corroborate or refute a particular theory.

1) Select ONE of the following: A) Valuation of “new” goods or goods not tradeable in markets B) Financial Markets 2) Discuss behavioral factors that are relevant to the application you selected; identify some ways in which behavioral factors influence overall activity in the area you discuss. Among the questions you should try to address: Do these behavior patterns violate any of the “standard assumptions” of economics? (For instance, do you think that people involved in these economic tasks behave irrationally?) Do you think that the behavior patterns suggest market inefficiency or some kind of systematic policy failure – Why or why not? 3) What measures would you suggest to mitigate any inefficiencies or failures associated with the issues discussed in (2); or, alternatively, what if any measures might you suggest to improve on the outcomes? (These may be regulations, policy reforms, survey design choices…be as specific as possible here!) Why would the measures you suggest be likely to address any problems? In this part, it will probably be helpful to discuss the ways in which the measures you recommend help address some of the issues associated with “System 1 – System 2” thinking. You should strongly consider drawing on at least some materials outside the texts used in the course. The texts from this class include: Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman Irrational Exuberance (3rd Ed.) by Robert Shiller Quasi Rational Economics by Richard Thaler For example, if you decide to write about financial markets, you might look at some newspaper reports about day-to-day activity in financial markets and identify behavioral influences (The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg are good resources for this). If you take option A), you might examine an academic journal article or two. Please feel free to approach me with any questions you may have about outside sources. All formatting rules are the same as for the short papers. ____________________________________________________ Sourcing, Citation and Bibliography: Include a full works cited/bibliography section. Your bibliography style should be consistent and comprehensible, but the precise format you use does not matter. If you use direct quotation from any text or source, include an inline citation with author name and page number(s). For example: “[Quoted Material Here]” (Thaler p. 37). Grading Rubric: Style and Mechanics: 10%. Correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Writing flows well (‘readability’). If outside sources are used, citation should be thorough and comprehensible. Paragraphs and Organization: 15%. A clear overall structure and a logical sequencing of topics discussed. Paragraphs internally well-organized and focused. Transitions between topics should be smooth and logical. Use and Synthesis of Sources: 15%. Brought in relevant outside material. Appropriately linked ideas in course with sources. Thesis and Focus: 20%. Clearly stated in appropriate place(s), easily identifiable, and thoughtful. Arguments and evidence throughout are clearly connected to the thesis statement. Argument, Theory, & Evidence: 40%. Demonstrates an understanding of the important theoretical ideas. Uses understanding of ideas from the course to develop a coherent, thoughtful argument. Where appropriate, discuss how a particular piece of evidence tends to corroborate or refute a particular theory.
