Identify and define three powers of the Texas governor.
Your answer needs to be no less than 350 words.
This discussion board topic is on the powers of the Texas Governor. While the Texas governor has more limited powers than 48 of the remaining state governors, that does not mean he is powerless. What powers does the Texas governor enjoy? Are these significant powers? Do his actions have an impact on Texans? Lets see what you think!
The Questions:
1. Identify and define three powers of the Texas governor. (Note: Look them up but explain the concepts in your own words. Do not just repeat the definition.)
2. Which one of the three powers you identified do you believe to be the most significant and why?
3. Identify a power of the governor that could impact your life and explain why.
4. After looking over the governor’s powers and https://gov.texas.gov/initiatives explain one area where you think the Governor is doing a good job and one area you’d like to see improvement. (Do not say all initiatives are either all good or bad. I am looking for an objective evaluation and critical thinking.)
NOTE: In answering your question, use the materials below and your own research as necessary to back up your opinion.
Many companies are using social media to advertise, collect information, or gather background on individuals. Do you think this is ethical?
Discussion Seven – Social Networking
Social networking Web sites create online communities of Internet users that eliminate barriers created by time, distance, and cultural differences. These sites allow people to interact with others online by sharing opinions, insights, information, interests, and experiences. Members may use the site to interact with friends, family members, and colleagues they already know, but that they may also wish to develop new personal and professional relationships on the sites.
Social network advertising uses social networks to inform, promote, and communicate the benefits of products and services, and there are several advertising strategies. Banner ads on social networks can either be displayed to each visitor to the Web site or by using the information in user profiles, directed toward those members who would likely find the product most appealing. People frequently make decisions based on input from their close group of friends and advertising and use an individual’s network of friends. Company owned social networking web sites allow users to talk about new products, services, or improvements they would like to see and the company can implement customer-submitted ideas. Viral marketing is where users pass along a marketing message to others, creating the potential for exponential growth.

What specific steps will you engage in to make sure that you are up to date as a computer professional?
Instructions: There are three (3) topic areas listed below that are designed to measure your knowledge level specific to your understanding and ability to analyze the professional, ethical, legal, security and social issues in the global field of computing. You must respond to all three questions by providing appropriate responses in essay form. The references for this assignment must be newer (less than 2 years old) than for the other assignments. In most cases the topic area has several components. Each must be addressed to properly satisfy requirements.
State-wide and in most professional industries, there has been a mandate that college students be more proficient in their writing. While this is not a writing class, all writing assignments will be graded for grammar, syntax and typographical correctness to help address this mandate.
Pay attention to what you are being asked to do (see Grading Rubric below). For example, to describe does not mean to list, but to tell about or illustrate in more than two or three sentences, providing appropriate arguments for your responses using theories discussed in our text . Be sure to address all parts of the topic question as most have multiple parts. A verifiable current event ( less than 2 years old) relevant to each of the topics is a fundamental component of your quiz as well. You must have at least one reference for each topic and you cannot use the same reference to satisfy this requirement. You cannot use information from the text book or any book/article by the author of the text book as a current event. Make sure that your reference has a date of publication. References with no date (n.d.) are not acceptable. Each question requires a reference citation in the text of your answer and a reference at the end of the question to which the reference applies. You must include some information obtained from the reference in your answer. The references must be found on the internet and you must include a URL in your reference so that the reference can be verified.
You should type your responses directly under the appropriate question. Be sure to include your name on the quiz. Include your name in the document filename. Your completed quiz must be placed in the appropriate eCollege Dropbox, no later than 11:59pm on the due date. Do well.
