This assignment has two components: a summary component and an analysis component.

Each component should at minimum be 2 pages long.

You may write the assignment as a Memo to someone who is in charge of a non-profit concerned with issues of democracy such as the United States Institute of Peace or the American Civil Liberties Union, but you don’t have to write it that way if doing so confuses you.

Part 1 of the assignment is to summarize two chapters from How Democracies Die (this section will be worth half of your assignment grade):

You must choose at least one of the following chapters: 4, 5 or 9 (these chapters cover international cases)

You may choose any other chapter as a second chapter (the other chapters mostly cover America)

You can bullet-point your summaries, but please make sure to separate the chapters

You must use some quotes and some paraphrases

Please cite the text appropriately

Part 2 of the assignment is to analyze the summaries that you included. Analysis involves breaking down an issue in order to evaluate it with the goal of discovering new connections. Analysis can involve comparison, evaluation and linking an issue to a broader context or significance. You may add information from the rest of the book in this section (meaning the parts of the book you didn’t summarize), but please make sure to focus on what you did summarize. Please note the following in your analysis section (which will be worth the other half of your grade). This section should be written in paragraph/essay form not as a series of short-answer responses:

What ramifications does the summary information/data have for the future of democracy in the world and in America?

What is the significance of this information?

What findings/discoveries/new knowledge arise from a comparison of the information from the two chapters? (And if you want, what findings arise from adding other information from the book?)

What findings arise when you add new information from outside sources (like the news) to the summary information?

Evaluate whether you think this is a critical issue for the future of the world and for people like you and explain why. (Here you can touch on the whole book in addition to your summaries if you would like).

Is it too easy to undo democracy? If so, what safeguards are needed?

This task relates to a sequence of assessments that will be repeated across Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Select any example of a visualisation or infographic, maybe your own work or that of others. The task is to undertake a deep, detailed ‘forensic’ like assessment of the design choices made across each of the five layers of the chosen visualisation’s anatomy. In each case your assessment is only concerned with one design layer at a time.

For this task, take a close look at the annotation choices:

Start by identifying all the annotation features deployed, listing them under the headers of either project or chart annotation

How suitable are the choices and deployment of these annotation features? If they are not, what do you think they should have been?

Go through the set of ‘Influencing factors’ from the latter section of the book’s chapter to help shape your assessment and to possibly inform how you might tackle this design layer differently

Also, considering the range of potential annotation features, what would you do differently or additionally?

Write an opinion/response/feedback on the posts mentioned in the word document. The responses

Read the article “How to build your own public key infrastructure” and decide if this is something you could do. Explain why or why not.

Describe the approach of evidence-based practice in the human services. Explain some of the reasons for why it has emerged.

According to New York Times, in March 2018 it was discovered that Cambridge Analytica misused the data of millions of Facebook users in order to influence the 2016 US presidential election1. Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg denies Facebook role in 2016 election meddling, however the company role in the election is considered massively influential2.

Ahead of 2020 election, on Jan 7, 2020, Facebook announced to tackle disinformation in the form of fake news and artificial intelligence (AI) manipulated videos also known as deepfakes3. It is obvious that Facebook is taking a proactive action in order to avoid the mistakes from 2016 election.

Create a  paper and  PowerPoint presentation discussing the IT governance strategy that you will employ to help the company meet its IG objectives.
