During this week, we began to discuss the first chapter of the employment law textbook. The US employment laws are a mix of federal, state, and local laws that regulates how employers can conduct business in regard to employees. One of the topics discussed was employment at will. While employment at will first appears like an employer can fire or an employee can quit at any time, employment laws cover some instance where an employer could face a lawsuit. These instances include nondiscrimination based on protected classes, freedom to collectively bargain, protection of fundamental rights, and a few other instances. This is why companies are still cautious when hiring and firing employees. They typically document issues and incidents

There are countless instances and types of internet abuse. The possession and distribution of child pornography is an exceptionally alarming problem. Without online monitoring of any kind, those who exploit children will face no consequence. The children themselves will see no justice. We as a nation must decide what we place more value in, whether it be the safety of children or the freedom from government interference online.

The Internet is a global network of vast information. With a few clicks, an individual can have access to up to 200 million web-sites filled with educational and recreational information. The Internet is not regulated in anyway (Carnegie Library 1). It is accessible throughout the entire world from the North to the South, to the early morning sunrise and dark sunsets. Different ethnicity and backgrounds come together linked upon this network resembling a connection of one body in unity. Sadly, issues arise creating concern for users, focusing particularly on minors. Pornography is one of the inappropriate materials on the Internet for minors.

Online business transactions, along with the sharing of personal information, are vulnerable to a host of disasters that can reap economic and social havoc. Some sources say that today, cybercrime costs more than $1.0 trillion to society--Global Industry Analysts, Inc. forecasted the world cyber security market to reach $80 billion by 2017 (Gale, 2011).

Cybercrime is one of today 's most criminal acts , it is a different kind of crime where there can be no physical contact involved. Criminals now can be sitting behind a computer , on the other side of the world stealing precious information from you. Common cyber attacks can involve stealing of intellectual property, gaining confidential information, fraud by accessing personal information and overall a malicious threat in order to produce a financial or political benefit. Cybercrime today is now a bigger risk than ever before due to the increasing development of the internet and digital technology services. There is a growing trend in the internet and digital technologies where transactions, services and data storage is all kept, making it vulnerable for online attacks. Attackers exploit vulnerability in hardware , software and user behaviour. They take advantage of people who fail to follow basic cyber security practices such as, regularly updating their passwords, updating their antivirus software and using protected wireless networks .Norton Antivirus has stated that cyber crime has been so severe that it has even surpassed the likes of drug- trafficking ( Norton 2015) . It has become a major issue that all governments and businesses will need to look at implementing security defences. With the growing severity of cyber attacks, small countries are very vulnerable as they may not have the same defences as large countries . New Zealand and Estonia are examples of

The growing issues with Internet usage in the workplace has become a major concern for employers. Employers are discovering that employees are spending hours of wasted time surfing the Internet and sending inappropriate emails. Employers classify this type of behavior as, “Internet abuse,” and breaking company’s policies. While employees see this type of behavior harmless, employers see this as potential risks to their organization. Previous researched study show employees spend hours surfing the Internet and sending non-work related emails to co-workers, family, and friends.
