Intergenerational Solidarity.

Posted on | by Brian Leakey

As families change through time, their relationships change as well (see the 6 relationship dimensions in Figure 9.10). Think of an intergenerational family you know and describe how there have been shifts (or continuity) in the prominence of these relationship dimensions. Based on studies in this chapter, what should be emphasized to promote optimal ties, going forward?

Best Friends Forever. Think about one of your longest-term and most important friendships during your adulthood. How does it fit with the concepts discussed in this chapter? How can its success or demise be explained in these terms? Give some specific examples.

“It’s Just a Job.” You have probably heard this phrase often or even repeated it yourself. Yet work is a major focus of adult life from the 20s through retirement and beyond. Using yourself or someone else you know as a case, apply concepts from the theories and research on vocational psychology and vocational satisfaction to identify what is going well and what might need to change.

“I’m Just Stressed.” This is another phrase you have probably heard often. What does research indicate about how work and other roles (such as family roles) interact to create positive, happy states, or negative/stressed ones? Think about how factors such as affective (emotional) events on the job, self-determination and motivation, person-environment correspondence, or intrinsic and extrinsic factors might contribute to your satisfaction with life.

Write a short case study on one of the most impactful cyber security breaches from the past 12
months. Your case study should include:
• When did the breach occur?
• Who was the target?
• Was it a threat or attack? i.e. What cyber-attack techniques were used, i.e. Man-in-theMiddle, XSS, phishing email, DDOS, Technical Hardware/Software Failures or Errors, etc.
• What was the likelihood level of this attack (i.e. what was the probability that a specific
vulnerability will be exploited)?
• What was the impact (consequences) of the breach?
• Who was responsible for the breach?
• What could have prevented or mitigated the consequences of the breach?
• Discuss the CIA model impact associated with it.

Cyber Security

Privacy is a concept that is rapidly evolving in relation to the most public of mediums, the Internet, which became even more super-charged with social networking websites. In a recent California election, one ballot measure, Proposition 8, asked voters a question on marriage. Donors to the Prop 8 campaign found that their names, addresses, and amount of contribution were masked up with Google Maps and thus rendered into a format showing the world a map image of donors’ names, street addresses, and dollar contributions. All this data is public record information already, but still quite inconvenient to access.

  1. What are the side effects of this action?
  2. Discuss any compliance or legal risks related to privacy, security or confidentiality?

This section should describe how this study will relate to existing theories and discuss how the methodology being used in the study links to those theories
The theoretical framework justifies the methods you plan to use for conducting the study and presents how this research will contribute to the body of knowledge and/or practice. Further, it describes the context within which to locate the intended project and suggests why doing such a study is worthwhile.
