It teaches you different ways to summarize things such as playing the "believing game", which is basically where you write a summary of something that you have read. An example of this would be of me writing a summary of a chapter in this book. In this chapter, the authors discuss how they want you to put yourself in the person you are summarizing’s shoes and doing that requires you to know your topic well. It also states that you should always know where you are headed with your summary. They also say you should use signal verbs for making a claim or getting your point across. Here is an example of me playing the believing game, by summarizing why my friend would like video games. X likes video games because he thinks they are very fun. He enjoys them because of the cool graphics, the sound effects and the game content. He states that getting to watch a story go by in a video game that you are playing is like you’re living in it. He argues that video games are the best thing

This book helped tremendously in developing a lot of skills that I have practiced over the years. When reading this book, I read it with a very critical eye. Reading the book this way helped me to not get caught up in any emotional turmoil that would cause me top read the book from a biased viewpoint. When reading works of any stance, reading with an open mind is very important when

What Did You Expect To Learn When You Picked Up The Book? To What Extent – And How Effectively – Were Your Expectations Met?

The writing style gave you a choice on what interesting subject you wanted to read, and also it gave you a preview of what the chapter was going to be about. The style of how it was written could also be a struggle for people. This book would not be recommended for people who wanted to stick to one specific subject; it would be a book for people who wanted an array of subjects. He does stick to one specific concept, which was bias. He has this subject scattered through the book, and they all mean different things. The experiments could be seen in positive light or negative, it depends on the type of reader you are. They can come out to be confusing but when you are able to play out the experiment it may be fun. The presentation of the book itself is an eye catcher, and maybe even the reading style will intrigue you to read it. This book is very intricate but you will not know if the information that is given will

My favorite part of the book was the warning signs to know when a stranger is a potential threat. This was fascinating to me because I’ve been told since I was just a little boy to beware of strangers. But with all these warnings about strangers I had never been told how to recognize when a

First of all, this book is similar to some things I'm learning in social psychology. It wasn't any suprise to me when I

I agree with Dr. Thomas Plante on social engineering which is an effective way of changing people's behavior (Plante, 2012). I believe social engineering could be a useful tool to achieve public good. For example, banning public smoking has resulted in better cleaner air for all and reducing high risk to lung cancer and many other chronic diseases. We can not control each individual to avoid smoking. However, by making laws that restricted smokers in the use of public space, we can improve overall social conditions.

Ans: Social engineering is the art of gaining access to buildings, systems or data by exploiting human psychology, rather than by breaking in or using hacking techniques. The types of information these criminals are seeking can vary, but when individuals are targeted the criminals are usually trying to trick you into giving them your passwords or bank information, or access your computer to secretly install malicious software–that will give them access to your passwords and bank information as well as giving them control over your computer.

Social Engineering is the hardest form of attack to defend against because it cannot be defended with hardware or software alone.

The criminals that are involved in social engineering are pursuing information by tricking you into giving out your passwords or bank data. They also access your computer to corruptly install malicious software that will give them access to your personal information. Common social engineering attacks are emails from a friend, baiting situations like offering new music, phishing attempts like test messages, and etc. Many ways to elude these type of attacks like investigating the matter, delete any invitation for financial information, or reject requests for help or proposals of

This book is an eye opener, making you look at things in a different way changing your views and perspective of things we thought were impossible or that they had no relationship at all. He incentives you to formulate the correct questions by questioning everything that you feel curious about. Just remember what a genius once said, "I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious."- Albert Einstein. Just remember how the book says
