Structural Suggestions
Introduction- In the opening paragraph, you should identify the issue that you are
analyzing. Make sure that any relevant historical, social or cultural background
information that is needed to follow your analysis is presented in the introduction.
Given that this is a minimum five-page paper, your introduction should be at least one
page in length. The introduction should also include a thesis statement that identifies
the main purpose of your essay. Finally, use the introduction to grab your reader’s
attention; create a sense of expectation that makes readers want to continue on to
discover the insights of your analysis.
Body- The body of the research paper should develop the thesis in detail by exploring 2-
4 subtopics and utilizing the three required reading sources. Quotes from the readings
should be used to support your claims, along with any relevant keywords. However, be
sure to avoid writing an essay that strings together too many quotations without
establishing a context for what the quoted passages are designed to illustrate.
Conclusion- The conclusion should sum up the essay without being repetitious. In the
final paragraph of the essay, you should also draw some conclusions on the overall
impact of the literary work on you as a reader. Think of the future implications of what
you have argued or what is to be gained, if you are making a case for a proposal.

Introduction to Topic: Refer to the Final Research Project guidelines for your topic selection. For your introduction, you should write a 150-word paragraph which clearly explains the topic, the importance of further research, ethical implications, and how the topic relates to one’s academic and professional pursuits. Make sure you effectively inform the reader of the rationale behind your topic.
Topic: How Poverty Affects School Aged Children
Thesis statement: Write a direct and concise thesis statement, which will become the point or perspective you will argue or prove in the Final Research Project. A thesis statement should be a single declarative sentence that makes one point in 25 words or less. The thesis statement must appear within the introduction paragraph.

Scenario
You are an information security consultant and have recently been hired by a new client to update their information security program. Submit your final report as a .doc or .docx attachment via this assignment, please do not email me your report.

Hoosier Medical Systems has grown by acquisition over the last five years. They operate two hospitals and four doctor’s offices in the central Indiana area. They have managed information technology in an ad-hoc manner for years and have recently hired a Chief Information Officer who is pushing for a centralized data center to support the IT needs of organization; he has limited experience in information security, so Hoosier Medical System has hired you to fill in the gap. There is no one dedicated to security, no security awareness program, no dedicated security hardware or software (other than client managed anti-virus), and no one has examined potential regulatory issues that may impact Hoosier Medical Systems.

The doctor’s offices are running a mix of Windows XP, ME, Vista, and 7. There is no standard build, one of the two part-time IT staff members usually buy new workstations as needed from Best Buy. They also have wireless at most offices for the doctor’s to use their personal laptops in patient rooms without the need to plug into the live network jack in every room, they often bring their laptops home to review patient records and for general personal use. Each office handles their own billing and accept credit cards via a single Hoosier Medical System website or over their VoIP phone system. Each office has a file server, domain controller, network switch, and router directly connected to the Internet. The router has an ACL limited some network protocols. They send and receive some information between the two hospitals, including patient records, payroll, billing information, and other administrative data.

The hospitals have a larger and slightly better managed technology infrastructure. They have a small network room which was a janitor closet. Each floor has its own network hub which connects all workstations together. All departments use the same file server, but the finance department has created a shared folder limited to just their department.

The new CIO plans to completely rebuild the infrastructure, starting with a new high availability data center. He wants to re-architect and centralize data storage, applications, device management, etc. He’s not convinced that he needs to do much with the workstations at each site, but employees complain about lack of technical support and sporadic malware infections – they all have administrative rights. He would like your perspective on the workstation issue, architecture suggestions, and anything else that they should consider when redesigning their IT infrastructure.

Your assignment is to document recommendations based on the scenario provided. Begin with the first section we covered in class and suggest a governance model for the Hoosier Medical System’s new information security program. Consider each section, one by one, and apply the material we’ve covered in class to this client’s situation. Think about the attacker methodology, but this is not an incident response scenario. You may suggest an annual penetration test, but there’s no need to go into specific detail. Your final report should be 4-7 pages, single / 1.5 spaced (excluding diagrams if you choose to include them). There are plenty of issues to discuss and opportunities for improvement. If you have questions, please contact me directly.

SET 1
I
1. What is intentionality and why does neuroscience face a challenge in explaining how it is possible? (Note neuroscience is the scientific study of the brain as a chunk of matter. It does not have much to do with strong AI.)
2. Why does Jackson’s thought experiment about Mary the color scientist commit him to epiphenomenalism?
3. Nagel tells us that an organism has consciousness just in case “there is something that there is like to be that organism.” Is this a good definition of consciousness? If yes, tell us why and how it captures the right/essential things about consciousness. If no, tell us why the definition tells us too little, or assumes too much (or both!). Finally, discuss why Nagel cannot offer an operational definition for consciousness.

SET 2
II
4. Suppose you and everyone else (including scientists) could crawl into the brain of a bat and see everything that is going on there (i.e. see the synapses firing, blood pumping, hormones travelling etc.) How would this impact (if at all) Nagel's anti-physicalist argument in "What is it like to be a Bat?"
5. Nagel does not deny that physicalism is true. Rather he says we don’t even know what it means for physicalism to be true. Explain and defend or criticize Nagel’s claim.
6. Defend or criticize: The right answer to the problem of personal identity is that there is no such thing as a numerally identical person over time, it is a fiction useful for moral, social and political reasons.

SET 3
III
7. Can one be a physicalist and a theist? That is, are the two theories logically compatible? If so, is the evidence for one at the same time evidence against the other?
8. In the first night of “A dialogue on personal identity and immortality” Perry advances epistemological arguments with metaphysical conclusions. (We encountered epistemological arguments from Descartes and Swinburne for the opposite metaphysical conclusions). State one or more of these arguments and evaluate its soundness.
9. Watch the film “Being John Malkovitch,” available at Lilly Library or on line (remember pirating is a violation of intellectual property rights). Explain what is incoherent or philosophically mistaken about the theory of personal identity it employs.

12. At least how much per year did poorer countries ask that rich countries appropriate as a minimum to help them mitigate and adapt to the ravages of climate change?
13. Despite the historic nature of the Paris climate accord, its success still depends heavily on which two factors outside the parameter of the deal?
14. Is there any legal requirement dictating how, or how much, countries should cut emissions?
15. Starting in 2020, how often will countries that signed the accord be required to reconvene?

I will include the formal instructions as a file. To prepare for the assignment: Read the Required Learning Resources for Week 7. Part A BLC Ltd. is a medium-sized UK manufacturing company based in Liverpool. The company is seeking to expand its operations with the establishment of an office block to house the marketing and human resources staff in Manchester. The company has narrowed the choice to two alternatives with the following net cash flow information being available: Year Property 1 Property 2 000s 000s 0 (2,500) (2,750) 1 1,000 900 2 500 700 3 600 800 4 1,000 600 5 900 700 Items to keep in mind: The companys current cost of capital is 10%. For this assignment, ignore taxation. Required As the company accountant is currently on holiday you are required, by calculating net present value, internal rate of return and payback, to advise the company which option they should take. You should also critically evaluate the other qualitative factors that might be taken into account in this decision. Part B BLC Ltd. has revenue of 500 million and sells all of its goods on credit to a variety of different wholesale customers. At the moment the company offers a standard credit period of 30 days. However, 70% of its customers (by revenue) take an average of 70 days to pay, while the other 30% of customers (by revenue) pay within 30 days. The company is considering offering a 2% discount for payment within 30 days and estimates that 80% of customers (by revenue) will take up this offer (including those that already pay within 30 days). The Managing Director has asked the credit controller if the cost of this new policy would be worth offering. The company has a 80 million overdraft facility that it regularly uses to the full limit due to the lateness of payment and the cost of this overdraft facility is 15% per annum. The credit controller also estimates that bad debt level of 2% of revenue would be halved to 1% of revenue as a result of this new policy. Required 1. Calculate the approximate equivalent annual percentage cost of a discount of 2%, which reduces the time taken by credit customers to pay from 70 days to 30 days. 2. Calculate the value of trade receivables under the existing scheme and the proposed scheme at the year-end. 3. Evaluate the benefits and costs of the scheme and explain with reasons whether the company should go ahead and offer the discount. You should also consider other factors in this decision. (Hint: You need to work out the cost of the discount compared to the interest on the overdraft saved and bad debt reduction.) This assignment should be around 1,000 words and should be submitted in the form of a Business Report (approximately 500 words for each part). Your Make sure the spelling and grammar are correct and the language, citing and referencing you use when providing your opinion are appropriate for academic writing. Do Not use any quotes and paraphrase only please. This is vital! Do Not use any previous work from other papers please. This is vital! Please Use Harvard Citing to fully answer all points and questions below. Please use mainly material provided but can use 2-3 outside sources. Please do not use as your external sources other similar basic marketing management textbooks, texts from your previous MBA classes, dictionary definitions or marketing tutorial style sites, such as Wikipedia, NetMBA, Marketing Tutor, about.com, etc)
