I?????????????????????? have the system automatically set to submit your assignment through the Plaigarism Detection Program (Unicheck). You will receive a score back to inform you of your originality score. You cannot un-submit a document, but you may submit a document multiple times without penalty. This paper will also be registered in the institutional library and will be reported as PLAIGARISM if used in another course.I am fairly certain that almost each of you will agree with the following statement: we are all different from each other. Different! We spend our lives trying to be similiar to everyone else just so well fit into the basket with other normal folk, and at the same time we strive for our own unique flavor to add to the stew. (I think I mixed my metaphors in that sentence!). Have you ever tried to make a decision about where to eat with a group of 6 or more people? Everyone has a different opinion and that is the point of this particular assignment. We sometimes need to persuade people to accept our position of a stance that we have taken based on our individualized opinion!So I would like for you to think of a controversial topic and defend your position by giving credible evidence from experts to back your opinion. Since this assignment is argumentative in nature, you will want to address the opposing view or views to y??????????????????????our stance and to refute them or concede to them. When professors ask for expert evidence, they are wanting you to do some research to locate that logical, credible, and reliable information to support your opinion and to persuade your audience to accept your opinion. This verification process is known as vetting your sources.There would probably be no end to the number of topics that a student could invent, however, when the term expert evidence is introduced, our list of topics may become smaller. I would like for you to limit your sources to no fewer than 2 and no more than 5 (unless just absolutely necessary). You may use either MLA (preferred) or APA styleguides for this paper (Your textbook has excellent information on both formats) The template that Ive enclosed in the Lecture Materials should help you know the length of the paper since I do not specify page numbers or a word count. My emphasis is more on the thorough development of the topic. You are not required to submit a completed template, but it will offer you some guidance in organizing and developing your paper, and you may submit it if you so desire. You may use either organizational method (a separate paragraph for opposing views or an alternating discussion of the opposing views as you move through the paper).Topic for paper is: Will Stricter gun laws will reduce the street violence in America???????????????????????

Document format is listed below.Question: In approximately two pages, compare the benefits and drawbacks of Google Wallet and Apple Pay from a consumers standpoint, a retailers standpoint, and a banks standpoint.Your word document should have the following;Title page, with your name, class, date, and assignment identifierBody of the paper (one or two pages) double spaced, 12 point font, New Times Roman, 1-inch margins on all sidesReferences should be identified/listed on a separate page (last page of submission). All references must follow APA format.Save in Word Document Case Study 1: Digital Wallets on Mobile Devices: Apple and GoogleOne of the fastest-growing segments of the online payments business is mobile payments. U.S. mobile payments are expected to reach $140 billion by 2019 and purchases using mobile devices could account for half of all online retail sales by 2017.Google introduced one of the first digital wallet products that would work on a mobile device in 2011 when it also introduced support for the operation of NFC chips in its Android mobile operating system. Google Wallet stores a MasterCard account for users that agree to maintain a cash balance with the cards issuing bank, so it operates essentially as a debit card. Google Wallet does not charge a fee to merchants or the MasterCard issuing banks, nor does it charge a transaction fee. Instead, it generates revenue from advertisers who pay to display ads, offer coupons or other promotions (specific ads are displayed based on the mobile devices proximity to the stores that are making the offers). Google Wallet has been slow to catch on with users.In 2014, Apple introduced a digital wallet product for its mobile devices called Apple Pay. In operation, Apple Pay is similar to Google Wallet; however, the infrastructure and revenue model is different. Apple Pay charges the issuing banks a fee of 0.05 percent of the transaction amount and guarantees each transaction; that is, if the transaction is fraudulent, Apple will cover the loss. Credit card companies normally charge merchants a fee ranging between 2 and 3 percent of the transaction amount, so the additional Apple Pay fee serves as a low-priced insurance plan for them. Consumers will not be charged at all for using Apple Pay and will not be given advertising messages. Further, Apple has stated that it does not collect information about consumer buying habits from Apple Pay data. Apple arranged for American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa credit cards to be included in their system, along with a group of large card-issuing banks. They also included major retailers such as Bloomingdales, Disney, Staples, Walgreens and Whole Foods. These participants will be able to collect data on consumer buying habits, but only on those consumers that use their card or shop at their stores. Apple reported that more than a million credit cards were registered with Apple Pay in the first three days it was available. After Apple Pays introduction, an increase in the number of retailers that accept NFC payments (as you learned in this chapter, NFC technology is used by both Google Wallet and Apple Pay) caused an increase in the use of Google Wallet.
