Understanding The Reading Strategy Of Cause And Effect

Before we look at the Regularity View of Causation it is important to look at Humes Copy Principle as his view on causation is linked to this. Hume states that “all our ideas are nothing but copies of our impressions or in other words it is impossible for us to think of anything which we have not antecedently felt, either by our external or

The Internet, as we all know, has rapidly spread around since its commercialization in the 1990s. It is evident that cybersecurity attacks are not going anywhere, and that government will continue to remain a target. In addition, the Internet of Things (IoT) growth will lead to more devices being connected to the networks. Therefore, with technology moving forward and hackers being more motivated as ever, the government finds itself struggling to keep up with effective cybersecurity measures and with filling up the designated positions in the Cybersecurity department.

The claim Bruce Schneier is making is that we have no privacy using the internet. The government is tracking our every move, every text, and every phone call. Even on iPhones, our last locations can be found in the phone. The internet use can be very dangerous, and just the thought of being tracked is scary. The claim Bruce is making are facts, because this is all true. Bruce claim was supported by his statistics such as all the social media sites. Overall, this essay to be an effective argument because it is true that the internet is a surveillance state. There is truly absolutely no privacy

This negative relationship has to be resolved for future use of the internet and the sack of individual’s and business’s personal privacy. This article really went into detail explaining the defenselessness of the internet and the dangers that it has had in the past and still has today. Going forward, I believe that the Internet should be better secured to keep its users protected in the future. Technology advances every day and with technology advancements, negligent users also advance and internet users need get and stay protected. Technology is the future and the future cannot be vulnerable for destruction, a strong security system is needed. The government should get more involved in internet access, as Timberg stated in his article, to provide protection from its dangers. If government assistance is applied in the correct areas of need, the internet will be a safer place for its

In a cause and effect essay causal relationships decipher the factors that caused an effect to occur. The first step in determining causal relationships is by identifying the causal chain of events (Kennedy et al. 422). For example, a historian writing a paper on the collapse of colonial rule in Latin America could infer that the American Revolution inspired the revolutions that swept through the Americas. When a writer locates several causes, he or she should determine which are major causes or minor causes (Kennedy et al. 422). For instance, in a cause and effect essay about the Syrian civil war, the Arab spring movement that was sweeping through the middle east is the major cause, while the extensive drought within Syria would be the minor

Hume argues that cause and effect or presumed connections between two events are false because according to the empiricist principle, we cannot tell where our impressions of the idea of cause come from. He says that there is no way we can prove that an effect is as a result of a particular cause, nor can we predict a future event based on past experiences or laws of nature. Hume further argues that our assumptions about causation are based on habits of our minds and experience; that our experience of observing two events occur repeatedly has led us to assume in our minds that those events are connected. This, he refers to as ‘constant conjunction’. Whereas, those events are actually based on probability. His argument is that causation has no

I found that causation was harder to prove. I believe causation is harder to prove because you need to find a relationship between variables, that one thing depends on the other. Like the book says, it is easier to say two things are correlated because it just means that we observe a change in both things. Causality is also harder to prove because it is more complex. In causality, you have to have correlation in it, time order, and ruling out alternative explanations. Another reason why causality is more complicated is because there can be reverse causality. Reverse causality is what it sounds like, the book does the comparison by saying, "you think A is causing B, when in fact, B is causing A". Like stated above, causality has to have a time order involved, and in reverse causality it becomes very important because you have to know what comes before the

As we can see from this example it is hard to figure out what exactly was the causation of Snow Ridge having a record-breaking day. There where many things that where correlated with having a record breaking day like the snow fall, holiday and near by resort not being open but one could not accurately say that one was the actual causation because any and all things that happened that day could have resulted in the outcome of Snow Ridge having a record-breaking day. The only way to actually prove that one of these three events was the greater causation of the event is to survey the people who are skiing and riding that day at Snow Ridge and ask them why they choose to come to the resort that day. In conclusion, due to many factors and correlations associated with any specific event it is in my opinion that it is harder to prove causation over

It is beneficial for a student to write a cause and effect essay because it propels him to think of the situation in depth to come up with the reasons for the birth of that situation and its eventual impact on everything it affects.

A lot of opinions and meanings has been given to the word “Cyberterrorism”. Some of these meanings and definitions varies. In this light, Gordon and Ford (2003) are concerned that when 10 people define cyberterrorism and nine of the given answers are different, and these 10 people represent different government agencies tasked with safeguarding national assets and infrastructure, then it becomes a critical issue.

(a) In Chisholm’s paper, “Human freedom and the self,” Chisholm notes that causation is a relation between events or states of affairs. For example, if the roof in my house cave in during a hurricane- this would be something that was caused by several other events such as the roof being too weak, the rain pressure being too much for the roof to hold, excessive rain, etc. With this term, Chisholm created two other narrower terms to specifically describe the different types of causations. The first causation is transeunt which is when one event or state of affairs causes other events or state of affairs. An example of Transeunt causation is if I threw a piece of paper in a recycling bin my event would be recycling but the “unknown” event cause by this event would be more oxygen in the world for people to breath in because that paper can be reused instead of having to cut more trees down and “cutting down” our oxygen. The second type of causation would be Immanent causation, which is when an agent (or person) causes an event or state of affairs. An example of Immanent causation is me recycling the paper because I’m the “agent” who recycled the piece of paper, it wasn’t done by another event.

This paper compares the Commonwealth Approach for Developing National Cybersecurity Strategies (CTO) with the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) in order to identify the commonalities and differences between these cybersecurity strategies. The purpose of having a national cybersecurity strategy is to safeguard the nation/peoples interests from being compromised or destroyed. For example, every nation’s government stores a great deal of information on its citizens, if there is not a standard set of rules to govern how this information is protected its likely to be exploited via avoidable risks. If used correctly it will eliminate many simple ways that has caused information to be exposed in the past. While some nations are vastly richer than other, the need for a cybersecurity strategy does not change. The scale of these protections may vary depending on the wealth of the nation, but, if information is not protected it is very likely to be compromised.

In my opinion, the paper made me agree with many significant aspects in connecting several data breaches that were recently happened, along with some strategy insights that could be deployed to strengthen and prevent similar incidents in the future. Starting with the introduction, the author was informative in convincing me on the important and the impact of information security not only in the public and privet sector of a country, but in general by enlightening me about cyber security, its different forms, and the reasons why attackers perform it. Then, the author goes further in clarifying the situation regarding the UA breach, even when there were some questions about the motive behind it since the compromised information is not on

In this modern world, Information Technology forms the integral part of any kind of business. In the 21st century, countries across the globe have come to rely on complex computer networks that form the infrastructural backbone of even the most basic necessities of life, including electric power grids, global finance, food distribution, medical care, clean drinking water, petroleum production, and most types of communication. The protection of such networks, known as cyber security, is among the highest priorities in the civilized world, alongside planning and operations for major contingencies, including antiterrorism and land warfare. (Al-Saud, 2012:75).In Middle East region, the IT industry is dynamically growing along

Every state in the nation should have a comprehensive IT security policy due to the “growing array of state and non-state actors are compromising, stealing, changing, or destroying information and could cause critical disruptions to U.S. systems” ("Cyberspace policy RevIew", 2016). Because of “ the dual challenge of maintaining an environment that promotes efficiency, innovation, economic prosperity, and free trade while also promoting safety, security, civil liberties, and privacy rights” ("Cyberspace policy RevIew", 2016). It is the responsibility of state and the federal government “ to address strategic vulnerabilities in cyberspace and ensure that the United States and the world realize the full potential of the information technology revolution” ("Cyberspace policy RevIew", 2016).
