FORUM DESCRIPTION (1)
Malicious software, or malware, is one of the most significant categories of threats to computer systems. Discuss two types of malware and clarify how they cause damage to systems. Support your discussions with real-life examples and elaborate on the countermeasures that would prevent the situation.

Introduction:
Throughout history, the humanities have been instrumental in shaping narratives that define power structures, societal norms, and the collective identity of civilizations. This question seeks to investigate the role of humanities disciplines in constructing, challenging, and redefining narratives of power and their impact on society.
Question:
Examine the influence of humanities disciplines (history, philosophy, literature, etc.) in constructing narratives of power within societies. In your analysis, consider:
Historical Context and Ideological Constructs: Explore how historical narratives and philosophical ideologies have been utilized to establish and maintain power structures. Discuss key historical periods or movements where the humanities played a crucial role in shaping societal perceptions of power.
Literature as a Reflection of Societal Dynamics: Analyze literary works as reflections of power dynamics, societal hierarchies, and cultural values. How do authors use storytelling and narrative techniques to comment on or challenge prevailing power structures? Provide examples across different literary periods and genres.
Ethical and Moral Perspectives: Investigate the ethical implications of narratives of power constructed by the humanities. Discuss ethical dilemmas posed by these narratives and their impact on societal values, justice, and moral reasoning.
Gender, Race, and Intersectionality: Evaluate how narratives constructed by humanities disciplines have influenced perceptions of gender, race, and intersectional identities. Analyze texts, historical events, or philosophical arguments that have contributed to the shaping of these societal perceptions.
The Role of Education and Dissemination of Knowledge: Discuss the role of education in perpetuating or challenging dominant narratives of power. How can the humanities, through educational systems, foster critical thinking and promote alternative perspectives on power dynamics?
Contemporary Perspectives and Challenges: Analyze the influence of modern media, globalization, and technological advancements on the construction and dissemination of narratives of power. Discuss challenges and opportunities presented by the digital age in reshaping these narratives.
Guidelines:
Incorporate diverse examples from different humanities disciplines to support your arguments.
Use critical analysis, scholarly references, and relevant theories to strengthen your points.
Present a well-organized essay structure with clear introduction, coherent body paragraphs, and a concise conclusion.

What would you argue would be an optimal relationship between criminality and drug use? That is, should any drug related activities be criminalized? If so, what should the criminal justice response be?

What would you argue would be an optimal relationship between criminality and drug use? That is, should any drug related activities be criminalized? If so, what should the criminal justice response be? Note that you are not necessarily limited to thinking about “criminalized” or “drug related activities” in conventional terms. For instance, you might propose criminalizing corrupt or deceptive medication advertising practices by pharmaceutical companies. Or you might discuss whether drug activities of all kinds should be decriminalized, or whether the implications and meanings of “crime” should be changed. Your might begin with the conception of a society you would consider good, or healthy, most just, or most functional, and stretch your “sociological imagination”, in order to contemplate how drugs and crime would or would not exist as concepts, how your conception compares to our current social order in the U.S. and how drugs and criminality could be organized in contrast. Within your discussion, you should incorporate at least four of the five course materials indicated here: the reading by Davis, the reading by Rothe and Medley, the reading by Roberts, the reading by Peretti-Watel & Moati, and the film “Big Bucks, Big Pharma” (screened in class in October).

Explain why you think human trafficking is such “big business.” Explain how social media and the internet impact the issue of human trafficking.

Consider some of the examples you have brought up in earlier discussion forums about applying models to real-world problems. Choose one of the models covered earlier in the course and describe the key differences in solving a problem with that model versus with a simulation model. In your opinion, which is more effective? How does the problem at hand determine which type of model to use?
