This is the next part to an overall project/idea. The first part was a presentation, which I am adding here. This is the second part, the report. The topic is at the bottom and the presentation covers a few ideas already on a couple takes. It will build off of that. Thank you.
The presenation has speaker notes attached for more details, please let me know if you are unable to see them
Aims
Confirm that you are able to explain beneficial and detrimental ways in which computing affects people, including the primary and secondary effects, and intended and unintended consequences. For the mid-term you are doing the analysis based on the scenario given and you are analyzing from the idea of doing the action of the dilemma. For example, what are the benefits of the moral agent doing the action mentioned in the ethical dilemma. Similarly, what are the detriments of doing that action.
Mid-Term Project
This analysis of the scenario of your current events topic counts as the IS 350 Mid-Term. This is an individual report. Each person will do the Mid-Term on their own of the assigned topic, submitting your report to Turnitin via Canvas as your Mid-Term. You will also submit it to the Midterm Report for Grading assignment which is where it will be actually graded.
Note: You may have done an exercise similar to this report. That exercise was a SHORTENED version of these report instructions. Follow ALL of the instructions here for your Mid-Term project.
Project – Report Format – all sections must be labelled
Identification Section
Include “IS 350 Mid-Term”, and (a) your name, (b) section of IS 350 and (c) current events topic.
Section 1: Description
Describe your Current Events topic AND the scenario /Ethical Dilemma in at least three full paragraphs, as follows:
Describe the topic in enough detail so the rest of the analysis is clear.
Let the reader know in what way this is a current event or current topic, why it is relevant to us.
You must include your Scenario and Ethical Dilemma as this is what you will be doing the analysis of
Section 2: Beneficial Aspects
Explain and justify your reasoning for 2 beneficial aspects to your scenario. Basically, what are two benefits of the moral agent doing the action of the dilemma.
You must clearly identify AND JUSTIFY each of these beneficial aspects as follows, so that it is clear to the grader:
A beneficial aspect is XXX (and then explain)
Section 3: Detrimental Aspects
Explain and justify your reasoning for 2 detrimental aspects to your scenario. Basically, what are two detrimental aspects of of the moral agent doing the action mentioned in the ethical dilemma.
Clearly identify AND JUSTIFY each of these detrimental aspects as follows:
A detrimental aspect is XXX (and then explain)
Section 4: SOCIETAL / ETHICAL ISSUES
Here you will discuss 3 Issues that affect society and/or are ethical issues based on the scenario/dilemma that you have assigned again based on the moral agent doing the action of the dilemma.
Use the following formats to clearly identify each item as a societal issue or ethical issue. The grader will NOT try to figure it out, if it is not clearly identified you WILL NOT get credit for it.
Clearly identify AND JUSTIFY each as follows, so that it is clear to the grader.
A societal (or ethical) issue is XXX (and then explain)
Can a societal/ Ethical Issue also be a beneficial/detrimental aspect? YES – but be sure it is appropriately explained under each heading.
Section 5: Intended Consequences of the doing the action of the dilemma – identify 3
Remember that intended consequences may be negative or positive.
Identify consequences as primary, secondary or tertiary as well as intended or unintended
An intended [primary/secondary/tertiary] consequence is XXX (and then explain)
Can an intended consequence also be a beneficial/detrimental aspect? YES – but be sure it is appropriately explained under each heading.
Section 6: Unintended Consequences of doing the action of the dilemma – identify 3
Remember that unintended consequences may be negative or positive.
Identify consequences as primary, secondary or tertiary as well as unintended
An unintended [primary/secondary/tertiary] consequence is XXX (and then explain)
Can an unintended consequence also be a beneficial/detrimental aspect? YES – but be sure it is appropriately explained under each heading.
Citations & Bibliography
When you utilize materials you’ve found, be sure to use inline citations within your report (e.g., [1] or superscripts1) that point to the full reference citation in a bibliography at the end of your report (APA or MLA format – see the “Understanding Citations” link on Canvas). There must be at least three (3) sources cited.

My topic:
Cyber-attack retaliation by a company.
Scenario: NJIT has been attacked by hackers in a foreign country who have taken personal information about staff and students. NJIT’s Head of Cybersecurity has figured out where the hackers are located and that the hackers are not agents of the foreign country. The Head has proposed to the President of NJIT that NJIT attack back, destroying the hackers’ stolen copies of the information and damaging their equipment in retaliation. But this action is against US law. The President is considering the proposal made by the Head of Cybersecurity.
Dilemma: Is it ethical for the President to authorize the proposed action?

Annotated Bibliography for “The Impact of Regional and Distance Factors on the Diffusion of [Topic]” Annotated Bibliography on Evaluating Sources for a Research Presentation Citation: Harris, R. (2005). Evaluating Internet Research Sources. VirtualSalt. Retrieved from http://www.virtualsalt.com/evalu8it.htm
Assignment 1: The Annotated Bibliography – Due Week 3
Project Overview:
This is part of a 3-PART SERIES OF ASSIGNMENTS on the SAME topic. Assignment #1 – the Bibliography (submitted Week 3). Assignment #2 – the Outline – is due Week 5. Assignment #3 – the Final Presentation – is due Week 7. You’re building this project throughout all three Assignments, using the same or similar topic.
For this project, you’ll choose a topic and then research how four geographic concepts are related to and affect your topic. Instead of presenting your research as a traditional paper, you’ll use PowerPoint to create a narrated presentation. Your presentation will be structured like a paper, including a title, introduction to the topic, main body, summary and conclusions, and references. Creative use of properly cited graphics and photos from the Internet relevant to your topic is required.
First, choose a topic! Topics must be a food item, cuisine, invention, or idea with a SUPER CLEAR REGION OF ORIGIN. Do some investigation of the 4 required elements (see below) before you settle on one topic. If you’re not sure if your desired topic is appropriate, please feel free to ask!
Your topic must be analyzed through these 4 required elements to determine how each of these geographic concepts affects or is related to your topic: 1. Regions 2. Cultural Landscape 3. Diffusion 4. Distance decay. The first two concepts are covered in the first chapter of your textbook. Diffusion is covered in Chapter 8, Section 2. Distance decay refers to the fact that influence and interaction between locations decreases as the distance between them increases. As such, it has a significant influence on how things change as they diffuse away from their point of origin. Be sure to address these specific geographic terms and concepts in your work. You don’t need to address them in this order, but you do need to address all of them. You may use “subsets” of these definitions (e.g., contagious diffusion) if such subsets exist. Be sure to refer to your text and other reliable resources to ensure you completely understand these concepts. You should be detailed in your treatment of these concepts – for instance, you should explain both how and why your choice varies by region, and how and why it has been affected by distance decay. Remember that geography, as an academic discipline, seeks to explain why things vary from place to place, not just describe how they do.
FOR ASSIGNMENT #1, you will complete your annotated bibliography. Completing the project in separate assignments allows you to work your way up to the final presentation and provides opportunity for feedback along the way.
Assignment Objective: Assess sources for your research for your final presentation (for credibility, reliability, and relevance) and list references in proper APA format through the creation of an annotated bibliography.
Assignment Instructions: An annotation is a summary and evaluation, and your annotated bibliography will include a summary and evaluation of some of the sources (or references) you will use for your presentation.
To prepare for this assignment, I recommend that you do the following:
Read these directions carefully.
Review the sample annotated bibliography provided to you below.
Read the grading criteria below. The grading criteria is a detailed evaluation that I will use to assess your performance. It also will help you understand what is expected of you as you prepare your assignment.
Email me with any questions!
The reason the annotated bibliography is included as part of the research project is that writing an annotated bibliography provides excellent preparation for the final presentation. One of the issues regarding any type of research is the credibility of the sources used, particularly those obtained from various websites. By evaluating your potential sources carefully, the annotated bibliography helps you determine if the sources you chose are credible and relevant to your topic. It will also help you understand the topic better, which will help you develop your presentation.
For this project, you will assess three sources to include:
a complete citation for each source,
a summary of each source, and
an evaluation of each source.
Three sources are required for this assignment (i.e., you are to write an annotation for each source). However, you must use five or more sources in Assignment #2 and 3.
Use the TEMPLATE below to summarize and evaluate each of your three sources.
Citation:
Written in APA reference list format. For more help with formatting, see APA handout.
Summary:
What is the purpose of the source, review article, original research? What topics are covered? This section is generally 3-5 sentences that summarize the author’s main point. For more help, see this link on paraphrasing sources.
Evaluation:
After summarizing the article (or research paper or book), it is necessary to evaluate it and state where you found it – its source (e.g., journal, website, etc.). Briefly answer the following questions in 3-5 sentences:
What is the format or type of source (e.g., peer-reviewed journal paper, website, book)? How reliable is the information in the article, and how credible is the source (e.g., website’s sponsoring organization, journal or book publisher) and the author(s)?
For more help, see this handout on evaluating resources.
Additional Resources:
Please see the resources below at The Owl at Purdue site for more information on how to write an annotated bibliography as well as other pages on the site to assist you with the other parts of the research paper:

Evaluation: Please review the Annotated Bibliography Grading Criteria below that describes how your annotated bibliography will be graded.
Software: As an APUS student, you have free access to Microsoft Office for both Windows and MacOS, which includes Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. -
The Power of Personal Response: A Critical Analysis of Modern Social Issues
Your essay should succinctly summarize the article you chose (about 200 words) before moving into your critical response where you analyze and respond to the article and topic based on your assertions and views (about 500 words). There should be only one source listed on the Work Cited page – the article you selected. Summary/Response Essay – Important Read!
When looking for a credible, relevant article, you have many options. Think about a social, cultural, political, or environmental issue relevant to our world that evokes (in you) passionate, strong views you can share with your audience. Most current topics are not “yes/no” issues; many have layers, like an onion, that can be discussed with varying opinions and views. Your article summary helps to introduce the topic and clearly explain the issue, including the author’s perspective. You are not persuading, to win an argument, in the response, but instead sharing your insightful views on a subject that is important to you. You own the response section and can steer the main points to suit you. A few thoughts on your summary/response essays:
Op-eds or articles are in “quotes,” not italicized—only ONE article is used for this essay.
The 200-word (approx.) summary should stay objective and in third person—stay away from first or second person P.O.V. The summary is meant to prepare the reader for your response, which is the nucleus of the essay.
In your response, do not state the obvious or simply agree or disagree with the article. The article/topic/issue should have many layers (like an onion) for you to explore, interpret, and make connections. Don’t try to cover too many aspects of the topic, but find what is most important (to you) and synthesize, interpret, explain, and evaluate. Give your audience something interesting to ponder. (This doesn’t mean the topic must be scholarly; if you are fascinated by competitive online gaming, and believe it is a valuable sport, tell us about it.)
Connotative, active voice is still important to engage your reader.
Organization is vital for this essay, so decide your controlling point (topic sentence) in each response paragraph along with sufficient supporting details.
