The guidelines for this assignment are outlined in the course syllabus. An example of a primary and reply post is provided in the Discussion Boards > Discussion Board Guidelines section of eCampus.
Please address the following topic in your primary post. Once you have submitted your primary post, you may reply to any student’s post on any topic to complete the assignment requirements. Your primary post must be in essay format! Do not copy/paste each prompt into your primary post and respond to them separately.
How to actually win back trust in news
Read the article linked above by Isaac Saul of Readtangle.com. Address address all of the prompts below (at a minimum) in your primary post:
Summarize the article. Identify the central arguments or findings and the evidence used to support them (ignore everything after the “Before you go” section of the article).
Identify and discuss how this issue relates to what you have learned from the course textbook. Be specific, citing a relevant passage and page from the book using MLA in-text citation format.
Summarize and evaluate the article’s conclusion(s). Are they logically consistent or inconsistent with the evidence provided in the article? Is it consistent with what you learned in the textbook?
What have other scholars said about one or more of the issues/policies discussed in the article? How are their findings consistent/inconsistent with those in the article?
Overall, what are your thoughts about the findings, evidence, and conclusion presented in the article and why? Whether you agree or disagree with their arguments and conclusions, support your evaluation with high quality, authoritative sources.
You will not be able to see the work of other students until you have submitted your original posting. You will not be able to edit your post after you submit it.
Checklist (do not submit your primary post until you are certain it contains the following elements, at a minimum):
Ο Primary post thoroughly addresses all of the prompts above and exceeds 250 words in the body (not counting citations and quotations).
Ο The primary post cites and discusses the assigned article, the course textbook, and at least one scholarly or high quality source using MLA in-text citations and corresponding MLA Works Cited entries are provided in a concluding “Works Cited” section.
Ο You have downloaded/saved a copy of every scholarly source cited and can email that to the professor if asked to do so. Cited sources (not including the textbook) must be present and searchable online for verification and review.
Ο A word count is provided at the end of the posting.
Lastly:
Post a substantive reply exceeding 150 of your own words: thoroughly evaluate, discuss, and reflect on the ideas and arguments presented by another student. Avoid using the phrase “I like how you…”. Focus on developing concepts. Look at the sample reply post in the Discussion Board section of the course.
This is not primarily an exercise in expressing opinions. Whether you like/did not like or agreed/did not agree with the article is not the point. Evaluate the arguments and ideas. The best discussion submissions will support all key arguments, facts, assertions and claims with research in both posts.
Submissions are randomly checked for plagiarism using TurnitIn. Plagiarized submissions or submissions with fabricated sources will result in an automatic zero for the course. Using AI (artificial intelligence) sources to write any part of this assignment is considered plagiarism.
Posting a blank, incomplete, or partial primary post with the intent to see what other students have posted will result in a 50% penalty to the assignment grade.

“The Economics and Strategic Impact of Private Label Products in the Retail Industry”
For this week’s discussion, please first listen to the podcast episode from Freakonomics titled “Store-Brand Products,” where they explored the economics behind private label products, their production processes, and their impact on both retailers and consumers. For this discussion, consider the following questions: Production and Costs: What are the key factors that influence the production costs of private label products compared to national brands? How do manufacturers achieve lower production costs while maintaining product quality? Market Competition: Discuss the competitive dynamics between national brands and private label products. How do private labels gain a competitive edge in the market? How do pricing strategies for private label products differ from those of national brands, and what impact does this have on consumer behavior? Managerial Decision-Making: From a retailer’s perspective, what are the strategic benefits of offering private label products? Consider aspects such as customer loyalty, profit margins, and market positioning. What challenges might retailers face when introducing new private label products, and how can they overcome these challenges?

Title: Cybersecurity in the Modern Era: A Comprehensive Analysis and Proposal for Effective Protection
Outline for the Paper
1. Introduction
2. Literature
review
3. Theoretical
framework
4. Research
design/methods
5. Grammar
and Style
6. Analysis
You must start with a title page (title of the paper,
your name, course number, date, and professor name). You must write to the
rubrics and writing requirements, check for writing errors, write in third
person, have a clear focus as the last sentence of the introduction, a clear
conclusion, and use research appropriately, as per the requirements. Remember
to indent a paragraph 5 spaces and have your name in the file name. Do use subtitles. No AI is permitted in any assignment. You
need to indent the start of paragraph 5 spaces. Remember that when you use
research, you must have an appropriate intext citation (author name, page
number or year or URL) immediately following the use of that research, and you
must follow the writing requirements for the use of research.
Your final assignment is where you will weave the
first two elements (the Cyber White Paper and Cyber Research Proposal)
together, and incorporate your research analysis, to create a coherent issue
paper that is 13-15 pages in length. While it is inappropriate (not to mention
a violation of university policy) to cut-and-paste from past assignments in old
courses into new ones, this research project is evolutionary and builds itself
up from a research proposal to a completed product. For this reason, in this
class it is permissible to paste the information (as appropriate and as it
makes sense) from the first two assignments assigned in this course into your
final assignment. -

THIS IS THE ARTICLE TO USE
Discuss the following about the article you selected:
What surveillance system did the researchers use? What is the unique purpose of this surveillance system?
How does the surveillance system collect data from the population?
Why do you think the researcher chose this data source?
What variables did the researchers use from the surveillance system?
Do you think the data source(s) were effective or ineffective for characterizing the health issue and proposing interventions? Why? You should do some investigation into the surveillance system to answer this.
Propose a different surveillance system data source the authors could have used. -
“The Role of Parents and Teachers in Education: A Debate” Opening Statement: Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to discuss the role of parents and teachers in education. There are two distinct views on this topic, one that believes parents
Directions:
Given what you have learned from the required readings and videos, you will develop a debate representing two different views of parents.
One view will represent parents that are predominantly responsible for the education of their children and that teachers play a supportive role in the students’ education.
