Is it necessary for countries to create laws around data usage in order to protect their citizens?

The European Union’s new law, theGeneral Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), has recently put pressure on companies worldwide to ensure they collect data in a way that protects consumers’ privacy. This has raised an interesting conversation about data privacy laws and prompted legislation that allows users to demand companies delete their data.PromptRead the following article on data privacy, “GDPR and Digital Marketing: How your Company will be Affected”Write a post with your thoughts on at least two of the following questions:Is itnecessary for countries to create laws around data usage in order to protect their citizens?Should companies be held accountable for any data breaches that result in privacy violations?There is an ongoingdebate in the media over who has the rightto users’ personal data. Does it bother you that some companies“own” your data?How do you think data protection laws will impact the future of digital marketing?

how has the socioeconomic status of the affected population or the overall economy of the country or territory shaped the ability of ordinary citizens and the government to prepare and respond effectively?

You will select and read two or three chapters from each text and write an essay (2-3) not including references, 1.5 spaces). In order to be successful on this assignment you must use proper in-text citations and references. I welcome your use of quotes from the text to illustrate your points. However, you must cite your quotes directly in-text and in the references (incorporating word for word text without quotations marks is considered plagiarism, and will result in no credit for this assignment).In order to be successful, provide a thoughtful compare and contrast by answering the following questions (please be sure to note the particular chapters from each text that you’ve selected):1. First, come up with a thesis statement outlining your perspective in the last sentence of the first paragraph (after providing a general overview describing the similarities and differences between the scenarios).2. Compare social, cultural, political and economic factors shaping preparedness, response and recovery.For example, how has the socioeconomic status of the affected population or the overall economy of the country or territory shaped the ability of ordinary citizens and the government to prepare and respond effectively? How has it affected their ability to recover? Use direct quotes when relevant.3. Population affectedAre there similarities or differences in terms of the level of vulnerability and resilience/strength of the populations affected? Spell out in detail the ways in which these populations are both vulnerable and resilient. Use direct quotes when relevant.4. Politics. Are there similarities and differences in the capacity for ordinary citizens and the government to respond to the population affected? Consider minority status, languages spoken, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity and culture in your answer. Use direct quotes when relevant.5. Compare the type of emergency (humanitarian crisis, natural disasters, etc.)Might responding to a humanitarian crisis, such as refugees fleeing from persecution (if applicable) require similar or different resources and government and non-profit support compared to a natural disaster? Use direct quotes when relevant.6. LocationIf you are comparing a U.S. and a non-U.S. location, asks yourself whether language, culture, society and economic differences made an impact. If so, how? Use direct quotes when relevant.7. Reflection. Does your comparison change the way you would personally prepare for a similar emergency? Does it raise issues that you had not considered before? If so, how would you change your personal preparedness plan based on these personal accounts?

Explain how the initiative you have selected for the organization might build on its strengths and/or address its weaknesses in supporting individuals and teams in a climate for creativity.

Discussion 2: Shared Practice: Case Study: IDEO and CreativityWhile you may never have heard of the design firm IDEO, you have likely heard of and even used products that it envisioned, including some of the very first computer mice. How does a company consistently generate groundbreaking ideas over the long term? One of the first steps, of course, is to recruit the best and most creative employees. Once those employees have joined the organization, however, there is still more that a company must do to support creativity and create a fertile ground for innovation. In this week’s Discussion, you will be sharing experiences you have had in participating in creative work environments.For this week’s Shared Practice, read the following case study, Creative climate: Work environment allows IDEO to deliver promise of innovation. Examine how IDEO combines the elements of leadership, work environment, and processes in ways that harness the creativity of its employees and project teams. Then, think of an organization where you have worked, currently work, or one with which you are familiar. Consider how the organization compares with IDEO in supporting a creative climate.Post by Day 4 a response that includes the following, using an organization for which you work, have worked, or with which you are familiar:Describe the leadership, environment, and process factors specific to both individuals as well as teams that contribute to a creative climate.Evaluate how the leadership, work environment, and organization processes supported the creativity of employees and teams.Based on your observations and/or experience with the organization, describe an initiative that could be implemented that would strengthen the climate for creativity among participants in the initiative. Hint: You can base the initiative on the IDEO case study (i.e., redesigning employee work spaces to enhance collaboration) or you can craft one of your own.Explain how the initiative you have selected for the organization might build on its strengths and/or address its weaknesses in supporting individuals and teams in a climate for creativity.

Compute this possible price.Nicholas states that the least he will take for the business is an amount equal to the business’s stockholders’ equity balance on January 31. Compute this amount.Under these conditions, how much should you offer Nicholas? Give your reason.By the end of the week, provide substantive responses to at least two other students’ initial posts.
