Cultural Relativism.Cultural Anthropology gives three distinct meanings of cultural relativism: a moral stance that requires anthropologists to suspend moral and ethical judgments when interacting with a culture different from their own, a methodological strategy that allows the anthropologist to pay specific attention to the uniqueness of a culture, and an epistemological position that cultures are unique and therefore knowledge about different cultures is almost inherently not comparable. (Sec. 1.3). In your forum contribution: a. Discuss what you see as the strengths and weaknesses of each of these three kinds of relativism.

At present, the research question is good, but there is no detail in the proposal that really addresses who you will answer that question. What economic models are you attempting to demonstrate the presence of, or transformation from one economic system to another? What data will you use, specifically. It is not enough to say, coins, glass, pottery, and metalwork will answer the question. They have not done so for other scholars to date – why is that?

Here’s my professors’ comments, and attached with more in article comments.
At present, the research question is good, but there is no detail in the proposal that really addresses who you will answer that question. What economic models are you attempting to demonstrate the presence of, or transformation from one economic system to another? What data will you use, specifically. It is not enough to say, coins, glass, pottery, and metalwork will answer the question. They have not done so for other scholars to date – why is that? Is it that there is too little data? Is it that they have not considered the problem with an economic perspective? Have previous scholars focussed on too narrow or limited a range of data?
I would also note there is not specification of the chronological range of your proposed research. That is really important, as it specifying the geographical parameters. Hadrian’s Wall is a well defined area, but the kingdom of Northumbria is much larger and varies in size depending on what date you are talking about.
The other aspect that is still absent, is a demonstration that you have a good command of the underlying conceptual issues. For example, while the research context talks a bit about Hadrian’s Wall and late Roman material culture, there is no mention of the kingdom of Northumbria or its origins. To support your research question, you also need an argument or link that connects the late Roman garrison of Hadrian’s Wall to the kingdom of Northumbria. At present, they are two separately floating concepts. Similarly, you do not really talk much about economics or economic impacts until your methodology section. The current state of research and understanding of economics for Hadrian’s Wall and Northumbria need to be addressed in the Research Context section.
As I think I’ve tried to explain previously, the Research Context section should be a succinct and very critical review of the current state of research as it relates to your research question. It should not be general, but quite specific. What are understood/argued at present, and on what basis. What is the problem with that current knowledge/state of research? For example, at present, very few scholars credit the late Roman frontier or army of Central Britain as having any impact or effect on the formation of Northumbria (I am the exception in this regard), with a more typical view divorcing any Roman cultural impact/significance on early Northumbrian culture (e.g. Rollason and Halsall); even Christianity as seen as something taken up by Northumbrian royalty from outside influences (e.g. Oswald and Dal Riata/Iona). Why is this view problematic? How will your research challenge this view? How will your view be unique/different and advance scholarship?
Having established a good critique of current research, Methods allows you to specify which sites and datasets you will make use of. What theoretical and or conceptual frameworks will you apply to enhance interpretation. What specific methods in GIS or statistical analysis will be used with your data? What is the timeline for your overall research project?
Given that your research question names economic impacts or contributions, your Research Context needs to critique current research from this perspective, and your Methods should also demonstrate how your data will conform to economic analysis and modelling.

Bob noticed his supervisor, a young married man, taking his divorced co-worker Joanna home two nights in succession, and decided something was going on between them. Without any malicious intent, Bob introduced the matter into the local grapevine and, as so often happens, the rumor got out of hand. Is Bob’s behavior unethical?  Why or why not?

Discussion 1Ethics in the Workplace
 
Analyze three of the following ethical scenarios:
 

Lorna is an administrative assistant in the human resources department. Her good friend, Bill, is applying for a job with the company, and she has agreed to serve as a reference for him. Bill approaches her for advice on preparing for the interview. Lorna has the actual interview questions and considers making him a copy of the list so he can adequately prepare. Is this unethical behavior?  Why or why not?

Betty is a high-producing, devoted employee who, at her boss’s request, will often volunteer to work overtime in an emergency. One morning, after arriving late to work, she told her boss that she got caught in traffic, when in fact, she overslept. Is making up an excuse for being late to work unethical behavior in Betty’s case? Why or why not?

Suzy and Tom work on an assembly line making computer parts. While there are safety protocols in place to prevent workplace injuries, these policies slow down the pace of work. Since employees are paid per computer part that gets assembled, Suzy and Tom decide not to follow the safety procedures so that they can speed up the pace of assembly. Is this unethical behavior? Why or why not?

Bob noticed his supervisor, a young married man, taking his divorced co-worker Joanna home two nights in succession, and decided something was going on between them. Without any malicious intent, Bob introduced the matter into the local grapevine and, as so often happens, the rumor got out of hand. Is Bob’s behavior unethical?  Why or why not?

Jennie was recently hired to work as a receptionist for the front lobby. As a receptionist, she is responsible for making copies for the associates. Her son Bruce comes in and needs to make some copies for a school project. He brought his own paper and needs 300 copies for his class. If he does not bring the copies with him, he will fail the project. The company copier does not require a security key, nor do they keep track of copies made by departments, so Jennie allows her son make the copies at her work. Is this unethical behavior? Why or why not?

Identify which law or laws would have required OPM to report their breach, and the steps the organization needs to take to report the issues.

Overview
A major security breach that happened within the federal government is the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) data breach, which exposed a large amount of personally identifiable information (PII) of federal and state employees. The effects of this breach are still being explored, and the full extent is still not known. This breach has become an important learning experience. Examining laws that suggest controls to minimize the possibility of data breaches is a crucial part of developing an adversarial mindset and will help with future instances of data breaches. There are numerous articles and research papers on the OPM breach, but the article provided in the prompt explores the breach from the employee perspective and discusses the steps that could have been used to help minimize the possibility of a data breach.
The critical controls defined by the Center for Internet Security (CIS) are used as guidelines for processes that a company can incorporate for data security. The controls are used to determine compliance to a standard put forth by the organization. They are meant to be used as an adaptive tool that will allow an organization to evaluate compliance to a known risk-mitigation level.
You have been preparing for this assignment by summarizing privacy laws and determining who is responsible for ensuring compliance to the law within an organization. It is important that you complete this assignment in your own words. Express your own ideas on how the laws and controls can be applied to this breach. It is the responsibility of a security analyst to be able to explain breaches and the controls used to mitigate issues.
Listed below are the privacy laws you are familiar with and the critical controls you will be learning about to help you complete this activity.
