In this assignment, you will write an argumentative essay on the following topic: Technology has become an essential component of our society. Some people feel that we have become too reliant upon technology to help us accomplish day-to-day tasks. From spell-check in a word processor to an artificial intelligence performing a Google search, there is little doubt that our culture, as well as our future, is almost completely overshadowed by technology. While some people feel uneasy about such a reliance upon technology, others embrace the digital future and feel we should go even further. What is your position? Do you feel that technology reliance is beneficial or detrimental to individuals, families, and society as a whole?  Write an essay that supports your position. Your essay should total about 800-1000 words.   Argumentation is a rhetorical style which calls for a change in the attitude and/or conducts on the part of the reader.  An argumentative paper attempts to change the reader’s mind and to convince the reader to agree with the point of view or opinion of the writer.  Make sure that you avoid the logical fallacies.   Here is the suggested format for your essay: Introduction Logical proof of your position Acknowledgment and refutation of opposing views Conclusion The essay should adhere to the following requirements: Be double-spaced Use at least three sources, Follow MLA documentation style Be at least 800 to 1000 words Utilization of the citation feature in MS Word to generate references and Works Cited page is highly recommended Must  addressing the essay prompt.

   Paper 4 Research Paper Purpose: An academic research paper can be informational or it can be argumentative. An informational paper presents the latest credible research about a topic while an argumentative paper uses credible research to argue for a position. A research paper is based on only credible sources. You need three sources for this paper (you may have more). At least one source must come from the Academic Search Complete or Academic One File databases. Other sources may include official US government data and reputable news sources.       Parameters: You must use a style guide for this paper, either APA or MLA. The paper should be between 800 and 1,000 words and must include a bibliography. A research paper is always written in third person and has a formal tone.       Selecting a Topic: Because the research paper is an academic paper, the topic selected must be selected based on facts and knowledge, not speculation. The topic must be important contemporaneously, not a settled issue. For an argumentative paper, the issue should be controversial, i.e. educated people can disagree intelligently, based on actual data and prior research. It is difficult to select a good paper topic when you do not know what topics are important right now, so it is easy to fall back on anemic lists from essay writing websites. Do not use these lists. Their topics are boring and puerile (childish). Instead, you will go to web links on our Blackboard page and look at the various news sites to find something that is relevant and interesting right now. This will also help you find a narrow enough topic for such a short paper.

Scenario: In the wake of disclosures concerning the possibility of the NSA inserting backdoors into RSA’s encryption tools, there has been a great deal of debate in cybersecurity circles concerning the importance of law enforcement’s need to access information versus the privacy and security of users. For this Assignment, choose one or the other of these positions and defend your position. Instructions: Following the process described in the “Writing a Persuasive Essay”, write a 5–6-page research paper that argues whether or not law enforcement’s need to access unencrypted information when pursuing criminal or terrorist activity is more or less important than the privacy and security right of users. Be sure to expand on the ethical dilemma of inserting cryptographic backdoors, how effective federal surveillance has been in identifying criminal or terrorist activity, and the relative importance of user privacy and security when compared to the needs of law enforcement. The minimum page count is 5–6 pages (excluding cover page, etc.).

Firewall systems enable network security administrators to control the flow of data in and out of a network by enforcing rule sets that permit or deny traffic based on various criteria, including IP addresses, TCP and UDP port numbers, transport layer sequence numbers, and application header information.
