Ratified in 1791, the first 10 amendments to the Constitution make up the Bill of Rights, which guarantee essential rights and civil liberties not specified in the U.S. Constitution.
After reading the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, please respond to each of the following questions:
Which one of the 10 amendments that constitutes the Bill of Rights do you believe is the most important? Why?
Why do you believe the founding fathers and voting citizenry chose to incorporate this amendment in 1791?
Do you believe the importance of this Constitutional amendment has changed in the more than 225 years since its ratification? How or how not? Tie your answer to the evolution of American philosophies or ideals. -

Policy and Procedure Development for XYZ Corporation: Addressing Security and Data Breach Concerns
please see the attached files for the instructions.
Please remember that each problem described in the scenario needs to be addressed by a separate policy and a separate procedure. Consequently, if you have identified three problems in the scenario (and there are at least three different problems), there should be three separate policies and three separate procedures. Do not address all three problems in one policy or one procedure. If you do, I will not consider the project to be complete, and your grade will be negatively affected.
THIS IS ALSO REALLY IMPORTANT: for the policies, use the format found in the document “Policy Sample 2.” If you use any other format, your grade will be negatively affected. For the procedures, use the format found in the document “Procedure Sample.” If you use any other format, your grade will be negatively affected. For the procedures, remember to number each step and begin each step with a verb. To see a good example of numbering steps, take a look at chapter 7 in our text, figure 7.9, page 297 (fourth edition). One final “really important”: I make the assumption that you read your work before you submit it. Consequently, I will not accept any statement such as “I accidentally submitted the wrong draft” or “Here is the correct version of the project.” What you place in the dropbox is what I will evaluate. There will be no exceptions. READ YOUR WORK BEFORE YOU SUBMIT IT.
I expect the work you submit to be your own writing. As the syllabus states, any submitted work generated by AI will be considered plagiarism and thus academic misconduct. I do use plagiarism detection software. -

“Empowering Media Literacy: A Comprehensive Guide to Navigating and Understanding the Mass Media” “Mastering Media Literacy: A Comprehensive Guide for Effective Communication and Critical Thinking”
Most of us think we are media literate. We know how to access all kinds of media to find music, games, information, and entertainment. We recognize the faces of many celebrities and know many facts about their lives. We recognize a range of musical styles and have developed strong preferences for what we like. We can easily create messages through photos, videos, and text and then upload them to various sites on the internet. We know how to expose ourselves to the media, absorb information from them, how to be entertained by them, and how to use them to create our own messages and share them with others.
While we should not overlook what we have learned, it is also important to acknowledge that we all can be much more media literate. We should broaden our focus and knowledge by examining other areas of media literacy—who controls the mass media, how decisions are made about the production of content, and how that constant flow of content affects you and society in all sorts of subtle as well as powerful ways.
The more you are aware of how the mass media operate and how what they do affects you, the more you gain control over those effects, and the more you will distinguish yourself from typical media users who have turned over their lives to the mass media through patterns of behavior without even recognizing it.
Assignments
This is a compilation assignment. You should use the work you have produced in this class and bring it together in one complete document.
This semester you analyzed online news, evaluated media messages and theories) grouped and sorted information from an interview, induced the pattern of social media engagement, and you deduced media content messaging. Now it is time for you to put what you learned into action by creating a Media Literacy Manual.

Students can use ANY of the information that they produced, read, evaluated, etc. this semester. You can use the textbook, videos, TedTalks, articles, websites, from any of the modules. Students are encouraged to bring in any new information/resources.
FOCUS – to help someone navigate media messages in hopes of making them better media consumers.
PURPOSE – produce a physical element that can be shared with others. Writing should be conversational with an academic tone. This is NOT a research paper; this is a manual that should be readable and interactive. This is NOT a research paper.

“Density Measurements and Analysis: A Laboratory Report”
Attached is an example layout and instructions of the report. Here is the typed instructions from the professor. Measurements and instructions aswell as tools used in the experiments are also included in screen shots.
The first section of the report is the purpose or introduction. Pretend the reader is ignorant about
what we’re going to do in the experiment. The layout of the introduction is similar to the entire
report’s layout. We should start in more generalized terms and become more specific as we work
towards the end of the introduction. I suggest beginning with a qualitative and quantitative
definition of density. Then state why density is an important concept. Near the end of the
introduction, state the substances we will find the density.
The procedure is straightforward. We should include enough detail so that the reader can repeat
the experiments and obtain similar results. Do not copy the HOL text verbatim. Also, do not
quote the procedure. We should paraphrase. In nonfiction writing, do not use quotes unless we
are quoting an expert in the field and are attributing the English wording to the expert. It is best
to paraphrase.
Next, we need to include data in tabular form. We should notice that I provided the units in the
row or column headings in the template. Therefore, it is not necessary to give the units after each
entry.
The last section is the discussion of the results. State the calculated density for each substance.
Then, state if it is reasonable. For the liquids, also state the percent error. Now we must discuss
two possible sources of error and how they affected the calculated densities. I suggest comparing
the magnet by the direct method and the displacement method. More than likely, you obtained
two different densities. Which density is more plausible? Where do you think you made the
error? The other error you should discuss is for the liquids. Because you have no reference value
for comparison, I would not discuss the metal bolt. At the end of the discussion section, we need
a few sentences to summarize. Because the report is brief, we are not trying to summarize the
full report. Rather, we are letting the reader know he or she has come to the end of the report.
Often, students will end the report by discussing errors. Without a summary, the reader may
think that part of the report was accidentally omitted
