This is a peer review assignment. Make comments on the paper attached below by highlighting errors. You can use the checklist below that can help in reviewing the paper. Also, try to detect any errors in citation since it is required to be cited in Chicago style. The comments should be on the document itself not on a separate paper. Highlight the changes made.

Article Question (20 points)
1) Do you agree or disagree with the author’s position? Support your answer by referencing OR refuting 3-4 specific examples/explanations the author uses to make his point. (Your response should be 4-5 sentences.)
Questions based on the Notes (30 points)
2) Based on what you’ve learned in the notes, type a list identifying the criteria for a settlement to be classified as a “civilization.” In other words, what must a settlement/village have in order to be considered a civilization? (Your response should be 3-4 sentences.)
3) Compare and contrast the Ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia with the Ancient Egyptians. Be sure to identify 3 specific similarities and 3 specific differences. (Your response should be 3-4 sentences.)

Use the following reading to answer this question: Benjamin Braude, “Foundation Myths of the Millet System” in Christians and Jews in the Ottoman empire: the functioning of a plural society, Vol.1: The Central lands eds. Benjamin Braude and Bernard Lewis (London 1982), 69-88
According to the historian Benjamin Braude, an earlier generation of Ottoman historians misunderstood what the “millet system” was about. How did they misunderstand it? How, then, does Braude understand the term “millet”? What implications does his new explanation of “millet” have for how we understand the Ottoman Empire?
In your answer, remember to cite a few concrete examples of how the term “millet” was used historically (remember to include the precise context in which the term was used). Do not forget to cite the page number — you may use a simple in-line citation style in your answer, i.e. (Braude 1982, 69)

There are two deliverables due for Project 2.
A video showing your exploitation, credential theft, and data exfiltration.
A penetration test report that discusses the steps and actions in the video and how they are relevant to the client. The report also includes your recommendations for the client.
Use Microsoft Stream to create the video.
If you have not already done so last week:
Download the Penetration Test Report Template to get started on the written report.
Delete the instructional text from the template before you submit.
Upload and submit two items for this assignment:
the Hacking Video Demonstration showing your exploitation
the Penetration Test Report document
How Will My Work Be Evaluated?
Penetrating the system (gaining access) is only the beginning for a penetration tester. You must also be able to clearly communicate your findings and recommend corrective actions in a way that a nontechnical audience can understand. Therefore, the written report describing the engagement’s technical details is a critical part of the job.
Having the best keyboard penetration skills in the business will not help if you are not able to properly document findings and convey critical issues to the client. A successful penetration proposal could lead to additional business from the client’s subsidiaries and partners.
The following evaluation criteria aligned to the competencies will be used to grade your assignment:
2.1.2: Describe the context surrounding the issue or problem.
In the Hacking Video Demonstration and the Penetration Test Report, address the client in the correspondence. Provide a brief introduction explaining the services performed and a summary at the end of the report. Summarize the actions of the attacker during the penetration test. Validate the attack methodology using industry approved techniques. Include at least two to three references in IEEE format.
2.1.3: Explain the significance of the issue or problem.
In the Hacking Video Demonstration and the Penetration Test Report, discuss the vulnerability you exploited on the system. Explain how you were able to steal credentials and take data important to the company. Discuss the implications, including loss of revenue and company reputation.
10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.
In the Penetration Test Report, you need to address the fact that the client has asked you to use other accepted practices and tools to exploit its systems. You will need to use tools such as Kali, Metasploit, John the Ripper, and include screenshots with date and time stamps, IP addresses, and ports that show how you connected the attack system to the victim machine.
12.2.1: Identify systems for the risk assessment.
In the Penetration Test Report, you need to address the fact that during any scan report, it is critical that you list the IP address of the system you are using to connect to the client’s corporate network (for auditing purposes) as well as the IP address of the system(s) that you are exploiting. Discuss the scope of engagement and the limitations of your actions to stay within the parameters of the penetration test.
12.2.2: Perform a risk analysis.
In the Hacking Video Demonstration and the Penetration Test Report, explain to the client in clear terms the security issues that are present on the system. Discuss the exploit you used to compromise the Linux system and the steps to mitigate this vulnerability. Provide detailed information on the versions of the vulnerability and application software.
13.1.1: Create documentation appropriate to the stakeholder.
In the Penetration Test Report, explain to the client the actions that you used during the engagement. Talk about how an attacker would know how to get into the system and what methods could be used to compromise the victim machine. Finally, discuss the post exploitation techniques that allowed the attacker to get the credentials of a user account and to extract confidential data from the target system.
When you are finished, click “add a file” to upload your two deliverables, and then click the Submit button.

The reflection today is simple. Well, not really. Should the electoral college be abolished? Why or why not?
There is substantial material in Chapter 12, a video clip, and a primer (instructor provided) on the electoral college. Please study all before writing your essay.
The professor will be reading and looking for specific data and facts to bolster your position.

TASK 1READ the “World War II & Atomic Bomb” PowerPoint and assigned readings from The American Yawp before posting your response to the question. https://www.americanyawp.com/text/24-world-war-ii/

Include a brief quotation from The American Yawp. As always, be sure to include an MLA-style parenthetical citation.
Paragraph Two (200-300 words): Assess whether or not the US was justified in using atomic weapons against Japan. Include two key facts or considerations that went into the final decision to drop Little Boy and Fat Man on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

According to Wikipedia, the late economist Robert S. Browne, “estimates a fair reparation value anywhere between $1.4 to $4.7 trillion or roughly $162,000 for every black American living today” to help address the wrongs and legacy of slavery and segregation. What do you think about this? Watch the PBS video and read the Wikipedia entry on “Reparations for slavery” and write an essay arguing for or against reparations; you can also assume a neutral position, simply by listing some of the arguments for or against reparations. Your essay should be at least 500 words. Avoid Artificial Intelligence to write your essay. Watch and read the information, and give your best effort when writing.
