Do you believe that a president should have the power of executive orders? Why, or why not?
The President of the United States has the power and authority to issue executive orders to federal officials and agencies for public policy purposes. In most instances, executive orders become official once signed and endorsed by the president. As an example, President Clinton issued Executive Order #12938 Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction. In June of 2005, President George W. Bush issued Executive Order #13382, Blocking Property of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferators and Their Supporters. Why do you believe it is important for the President of the United States to be able to issue executive orders in an expedited format regarding weapons of mass destruction? Do you believe that a president should have the power of executive orders? Why, or why not?

How might being more historically informed impact how you understand that issue or how you take action?
Throughout the course, you have examined how historical events impact current events. Historians are often motivated to partly study the past because that knowledge can help us frame, compare, and understand modern problems. However, what responsibilities does an ordinary citizen have to know a particular history (such as different historical perspectives, different historical times, and different geographical regions) or to have the skills to study history effectively?
Discussing challenges that face our world often means investigating opinions and ideas different from your own. Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful towards your peers and instructor in your discussion post and replies.
Create one initial post and follow up with at least two response posts.
For your initial post, address the following:
1. Discuss what responsibilities, if any, citizens should have related to being historically informed. For example, what historical inquiry skills might be important for a citizenry to have to address current global challenges?
2. Think about a challenge, opportunity, event, or issue that affects your community. How might being more historically informed impact how you understand that issue or how you take action?
If you were performing this security audit, with which regulations would you want to ensure that PVSS complies? Why?
Scenario
Peak View Sound Sources is a public company based in Denver, Colorado and is focused on providing digital media and Web sites to music companies and musicians through the Mountain and West Coast regions. The company has a solid reputation and is starting to get some national and worldwide attention, with new prospective companies wanting to take advantage of the quality services they have seen on other existing Web sites.
Your company has been hired to assist Peak View Sound Sources (PVSS) to ascertain the security posture of the company’s Information Systems resources and services. You are heading the team of auditors tasked to perform the audit and assessment.
You enter the company offices of PVSS and begin your analysis of the environment and situation.
Initial analysis has allowed you to determine that the company is made up of the following divisions:
- Corporate Management and Support Staff: This organization contains the executive management, human resources, and accounting teams. All company decisions are directed from the management team.
- Information Technology: This team manages the networks, servers, Web sites, and desktop environments for the company. The team has a perception of being difficult to work with, as they are slow to adopt new technology and slow to implement new offerings. The reality is that the team has resources and wants to uptake the newest and greatest technology, but they spend most of their time putting out fires and reacting to issues.
- Media Content and Design: This team is in charge of working with the record companies and musicians to create the Web Sites and implement the product offerings that are sold.
- Sales and Marketing: This team works with the musicians and record companies to offer and sell the services of PVSS.
There is a concern about the security of the infrastructure with respect to the ability to protect the copyrighted material that PVSS is given to host, because a single incident several years ago took place in which an entire new CD was released prematurely via the Internet. Although PVSS was not directly linked to the leak, there are suspicions surrounding PVSS.

As you continue your analysis, you see that the Information Technology (IT) department has developed several guidelines and procedures about how various systems should be considered and set up, but this is internal only to the IT department. Every time a new machine is set up and deployed, within a month, the configuration is changed.
- Explain why you think the use of these guidelines and procedures is not sufficient and may not solve the problem. Consider how a company-wide policy program could help the situation.
- As you begin to prepare your game plan to conduct an Information Security Audit, talk about why you think this current situation makes it difficult to identify the controls that need to be examined.
- If you were performing this security audit, with which regulations would you want to ensure that PVSS complies? Why?
Describe which information systems would be considered part of the scope for the audit.
Your project lead has asked you to determine if PVSS has ever conducted an audit. After further investigation of the situation, you determine that this will be the first review that PVSS has conducted or to which it has been subjected. Your project lead has asked you to summarize your review and next steps.
In a 4-5-page TECH MEMO [format included here in the School of Information Technology LibGuide] addressed to your project lead, complete the following:
- Explain what steps you will need to develop and establish to facilitate a successful audit.
- List and describe the steps and tasks required to implement an audit program.
- In addition, describe the audit class(es) that would be applicable to your contracted audit.
- Describe which information systems would be considered part of the scope for the audit.

What do justice administrators—police, courts, and corrections officials—actually administer?
Justice Administration; Police, Courts, and Corrections Management. Ken Peak
What do justice administrators—police, courts, and corrections officials—actually administer? Do they provide leadership over a system that has succeeded in accomplishing its mission? Do individuals within the system work amiably and communicate well with one another? Do they all share the same goals? Do their efforts result in crime reduction? In short, do they compose a system? We now turn to these questions, taking a fundamental yet expansive view of justice administration.
