Literature Review Assignment
Description:
For this assignment, you will choose a topic pertaining to one of the variables selected for your research report and write a 4-5 page literature review. You are required to cite 5-8 sources scholarly sources. Build upon your previous assignments (Bibliography, Literature Map). Sources should be documented with in-text citations, and a bibliography in ASA format should be provided (note: this does not count towards your page limit).
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a literature review?
A literature review is a survey of scholarly articles, books, and other sources such as dissertations and conference proceedings that are relevant to a particular topic. A literature review has a specific organizational pattern that combines summary (a recap of information) and synthesis (a sketch of connections). The main objective of a literature review is to provide your audience with an overview of what the experts in a particular field say. In completing a literature review you will:
Survey the literature in a particular area
Synthesizes information
Critically analyzes information
Presents information in an organized manner
How is a literature review different from an academic research paper?
A literature review is often a component of an academic research paper. The literature review is intended to summarize and synthesize existing research whereas a research paper contributes new and novel ideas to the existing body of knowledge.
How do I start?
Choose a topic related to social inequality. Topics can include but are not limited to income and wealth inequality, gender inequality, sexuality, health and well-being, criminal justice. Consider the extent to which your topic of inequality organizes our society and/or the conditions which can reduce your topic of inequality. You might also begin by imagining that you work for a non-profit seeking to secure funding to reduce a social inequality.
Next visit the resources at the FSU library. Visit the sociology LibGuide at http://libguides.uncfsu.edu/sociologyLinks to an external site.. The library has subscriptions to many databases that you may use to complete keyword searches relevant to your topic. You may also complete keyword searches related to your topic on Google Scholar.
How do I choose which sources to use?
First and foremost, you want to ensure that you are using scholarly sources (see the attached guide on distinguishing between popular and scholarly journalsLinks to an external site.). Next, you can begin by readings the abstract of articles you’ve identified. You can also ask yourself the following questions:
Is it accurate?
Is it complete?
Is it up-to-date?
Is it supported by strong evidence?
Is it clearly relevant to my topic?
How do you synthesize information?
You can begin to synthesize information by looking for patterns and developing themes. Pay attention to things such as common findings, major debates or findings that are contested, the most influential theories being used; gaps or directions for future research. A good way to begin synthesis is to write a one or two-sentence statement that summarizes the major trends and developments you’ve noticed during your reading.

Network Evaluation Report
Overview
How do you become good at any skill? You practice it over and over until it becomes second nature. Troubleshooting computer and network problems is a skill that evolves over your career. Through the practice of identifying and troubleshooting network issues, you will continue to develop a mindset that is attuned to finding problems and developing solutions. This is a critical component of systems thinking and the adversarial mindset.
Cybersecurity analysts and network engineers work side by side to build the strongest network defense possible. It is possible that you as a security analyst might be asked to help with the networking protection from time to time. Having the fundamental skills to understand and troubleshoot problems that emerge is key to continued protection of a system.
For this project, you will assume the role of a job candidate on an interview. As part of the interview process, you will be asked to troubleshoot hypothetical issues in a network. You will create a network evaluation report that documents your findings for your interviewers.
The project will be submitted in Module Six.

Selecting a Business Entity
Business entities are an integral part of business practice and economic productivity. An effective business practitioner must understand the characteristics of the major types of business entities, as these attributes can dramatically affect the nature of the business’s relationships. Choosing the right entity is an exciting and important step in the lifecycle of a business. The entity a business owner chooses helps outline roles and responsibilities among owners, guides in conducting the business, and provides exit options, among other things. Understanding business entity characteristics includes becoming familiar with the ownership structure, organizational structure, potential liability, compensation methods, and tax laws applicable to the business entity.
Your Assignment for this week is to analyze the three business scenarios below. Based on what you have learned in this week’s reading and video lecture, advise the potential entrepreneurs on which business entity they should form. Be sure to discuss why you are making that recommendation, and include a discussion of both the advantages and disadvantages of the business entity you have recommended.Business Advice (Scenario #1)
Luke, Austin, and R.J. have been close friends since high school, and even went to college together. All three graduated last year; Luke with a degree in Computer Science, Austin with a degree in Graphic Design, and R.J. with a degree in Business Administration. All three self-proclaimed “computer geeks” and have worked part-time through high school and college fixing computer problems. Each has approximately $50,000 in savings for this business venture. They have been talking about starting a computer company in their local town to help businesses and individuals with computer problems or those who need help developing and designing web sites. In doing research, Justin found that there are only two other computer companies in their town of 100,000 people, and neither one will do both web design and computer hardware/software troubleshooting.
What type of business organization should Luke, Austin, and R.J. adopt? Why?
Business Advice (Scenario #2)
Tyler, a 27-year-old married man, just completed his fifth year as a journeyman carpenter with John Casey Homebuilders, a small homebuilder 25 miles from his hometown. Tyler has just received an inheritance of $100,000 from his favorite aunt. During the past five years, Tyler has been able to purchase many of the tools and equipment that he needs to be a good finish carpenter. He has not been satisfied working for John the past couple of years and has talked with his wife about starting his own business. Tyler’s wife, Esther, agrees that in order to be happy, and fully supports him in opening his own business. Esther graduated from the local university with a degree in liberal arts but stays at home with the kids.
What type of business organization should Tyler adopt? Why?
Business Advice (Scenario #3)
Troy and Tristan have decided to open a competitive Cheer and Dance business. Troy’s expertise is in business. He has a degree in Business Administration with a minor in Underwater Basket Weaving. Tristan, on the other hand, has a degree in Sports Management and has been coaching the Tesoro cheerleading team, while his girlfriend, Beatrix, has been coaching the dance team. The problem is that no one has much capital to invest. In fact, both are having a little trouble figuring out how they will be able to get the startup capital for the business. Fortunately, there are no other competitive Cheer and Dance companies in the area. Unfortunately, the potential buildings they have found to lease costs over $7,000 per month and they expect that utilities and water will cost approximately $650 per month. Liability insurance is expensive as well, estimated to be $2,000 per month due to possible injuries.
What type of business organization should Troy and Tristan adopt? Why?

Overview
Previously in this course, you considered how to comprehensively approach network assessment. This activity will continue to expand your perspective by letting you address how to comprehensively approach a security assessment at the enterprise level. This can include, but is not limited to, the security of the network and physical security concerns, as well as the behavior of the employees at the organization.
When do you need to complete an enterprise-wide security audit? There are two main motivators for this organization-wide effort— identifying organizational risks and assessing for compliance. This course will focus on how to assess compliance to organizational standards. CYB 410 will focus on identifying organizational risks.

Topic: Should the age of contractual capacity be raised?
For this week’s Discussion, you will share your your response to the following prompt with your Discussion Group. This is a group discussion, so be sure to reply to at least one other student.
Background: In most states, including California, the contract age of majority is currently age 18. As you’ve learned in this unit, contracts entered into by minors under this age are generally voidable at the minor’s option. This contract doctrine of capacity is based on the policy of protecting minors from their own poor financial decisions and lack of adult-like judgment. Until comparatively recently, the age of contract majority had been 21, and some argue that the law should return to that standard.
Discussion Prompt: Please take one of the following positions: (1) the age of contractual capacity should remain at 18 years old; or (2) why you believe that another age–or another standard, besides age–would be more appropriate for the state to determine that an individual can agree to a legally binding agreement. In crafting your argument for the change, or for maintaining the status quo, you may want to consider biology, changes in culture, or the ability to purchase cigarettes or alcohol have any bearing on this change. Provide two arguments in support of your position.
After you’ve posted your response, please reply to at least one of your classmates. For example, did their argument(s) make you rethink your position? Or did their response give greater strength to your argument?
Directions:
Post your initial reply (10 points) to the topic above.
Read through the other entries and reply (5 points) to at least one classmate.
Please make a substantive contribution to the discussion; short replies such as “I agree” will not earn full points. When you reply, make sure to use professional grammar and punctuation.

Extra Credit Assignment: The Guitar Lessons
Bill decides that he wants to learn to play the guitar. He’s not good with instruments, so he wants someone to teach him. He’s also low on cash, so he’s hoping to get guitar lessons in exchange for a service. He puts signs up all around town that say:
“Wanted: Guitar Lessons. Beginning guitar student will mow your lawn in exchange for lessons. Prefer experienced teacher. Call Bill – 555-5555.”
Jessie sees Bill’s ad. She teaches guitar lessons to a few other students as well. She is currently paying a lawn service to mow her lawn and thinks this arrangement sounds like a good plan – she could drop the lawn service. She calls Bill and says, “sounds like a good plan. I’m in. Let’s start on Monday at 5 pm.”
Answer the following four questions for up to 5 extra credit points:
Is this contract oral or written?
Identify the offer, acceptance and consideration.
Is this contract enforceable?
Do you see any potential problems with this contract?
