...between what evaluative and assessment information is provided by an Internet search using Google.com and a search using EBSCO’s Academic Search Premier Database is extremely different. I started my searches by open two different internet windows, Google on one and EBSCO on another. My Google search and EBSCO search was “articles on privacy and security on the internet”. The top result from Google was ftc.gov. This page had a list of three different microsites, two did not have any articles and the other one did. The article I found was on Malware. When I evaluate this article from the techniques from the Berkeley site, it does not rate well. It has no author and it does not cite any sources. The one plus it does have is that it is from a .gov site. Even though it does not rate well I do trust this site. The reason why I trust the site is because in the fifth step of the evaluation process, listen to your gut reaction. Think about why the page was created, the intentions of its author. My gut reaction tells me the information is coming from a government cite so I trust it. The purpose of this article was to inform and educate, there were no other intentions other than to inform and educate. My top result from EBSCO was an article from Communications of the ACM called Privacy and Security as Simple as Possible, But Not More So. The authors of this article are very creditable and qualified on the topic. This article was published to inform, give facts and some opinion. The article’s...

...Article Review: Processes May 24, 2016 Production Operation Management Ottawa University Article Review: Processes INTRODUCTION The article I used this week is one from MIT and has a lot of great information about processes and what they can mean to a business. The article is by an author named David Garvin. I found the article through EBSCO host online, after looking through a few other articles and deciding that I thought this one was the best at relaying the information in a way that was easy to understand. Efficiency is the hallmark of any business, and a business will do almost anything to maximize efficiency. To increase efficiency a business has to focus on the processes they use. A business has to focus on how to strategically make decisions on how and what processes they use. The article discusses several different processes businesses use in everyday life. One of these everyday life processes is the communication process. The communication process is one of the most important because it affects every level of a business. (Garvin, 1998, par. 30) In the article Garvin uses a really great quote about the complexities involved in the communication process and how important these processes can be. “Many formulations of communication depict it as a simple problem of transfer of information from one person to another. But . . . the process is anything but simple, and the information transferred is often highly variable and complex. We communicate facts...

...Iryna Hrynyuk WSC 02 Professor Reesman 17 October 2010 Divorce and Separation in France The renounced psychologist Joyce Brothers states - "For some reason, we see divorce as a signal of failure, despite the fact that each of us has a right, and an obligation, to rectify any other mistake we make in life.” Divorce is the separation of two people who once had a marriage contract. The frequent reasons why people get a divorce are: infidelity, physical abuse, falling out of love, lack of commitment to the marriage, lack of communication between the spouses etc. Divorce was something new to France in the nineteenth century, it was allowed for the first time. The whole structure of the families started to change and women and men for the first time were allowed to stand up in what they believed in – divorce. Divorce first became legal in France on September 20, 1792. It was abolished in 1816, and was re-established in 1884 under the Third Republic. France had created divorce laws, and was regarded as a republican. “Under the ancient regime, marriage was indissoluble; after 1792, couples could divorce quickly and easily.” (Chastain, 2004) The divorce law of September 20, 1792 acknowledges the principles of marital breakdown where neither of the two parties would be named guilty for the divorce. This means that a divorce can be made through mutual consent, or the wife or the husband could sue for a divorce. This law made divorce affordable even to the poorest...

Narrowed Topic Stricter Gun Control Laws in the United States I chose this topic because it is something that interests me a lot. I believe that it is absolutely absurd how many mass shooting occur in the United States each year. We are supposed to be the best country on Earth, yet so many innocent people are killed each year. When I go out to public places, I am always extra careful of my surroundings and what is going on around me because you never know what can happen at any place and anytime. You cannot trust anyone and you never know who can turn on you in just minutes. My dad and my other my family members work in law enforcement and it sickens me every time I hear about a scary job that they were apart of or even when you hear on the news that another police officer was shot and killed by a criminal. We are the United States, we have a solution to pretty much every problem out there, I strongly believe that something can and must be done to stop all of this unnecessary gun violence in our country. 2.

...Joseph Prothro Professor Jett English B1a 16 November 2015 What’s in a Name in “The Harvey Pekar Name Story” Harvey Pekar’s “The Harvey Pekar Name Story” is a comic excerpt from the graphic novel American Splendor, also written by Pekar, which looks into the inner thoughts of a man contemplating his own name, “Harvey Pekar.” As the comic goes, Harvey’s monologue continues to go deeper into why do names matter. Pekar shows this when he writes, “It’s an unusual name – Harvey Pekar… ‘Harvey’ doesn’t really go with ‘Pekar’ — not in the conventional sense at least…” (261). In the end, Harvey comes to the unanswered thought “Who is Harvey Pekar?” (Pekar 264). This all leads to the question, why do we find names important to begin with? What are names? It seems like a simple enough question, but it is actually a very deep and meaningful one. Pekar writes Harvey Pekar in a situation where he thinks out, “What’s in a name? Who is Harvey Pekar?” (264). And in doing this, he brings up the question most people have thought to themselves at on point, “What does my name mean and how does that apply to me?” In the same way that people look into to their ancestry to find connections as to who they are, people do this for their own names as well. People look into the definitions of their names and what that might have to do with their personalities, and they look into how many people might share their name as well and what they might have in common with each other. In their book, A Comics...

...No Self-discipline; No success Everyone has a dream but has anyone ever truly considered how they could make that dream come true Jesse Owens once said “We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.” (personal communication, 1936 Olympic games). Everyone should have a sense of personal responsibility, many are unaware of how or what this truly is and even how to achieve it on their own. Many do not look within themselves for a chance to succeed because they are unaware of how to do this. Self-discipline is displayed by people in choices that are made to achieve college success. Many are afforded the opportunity to ensure their success or to ensure their failure. If we were to ask everyday people where they would want to be they would all say somewhere successful. That is something that we all want for ourselves but is everyone willing to use their self-discipline to make the choices to achieve those dreams. Making dreams come true is not just wishing on a star or making a wish while blowing out birthday candles it is the choices that are made in life that will turn that dream into a reality. The definition of self-discipline can mean something different to each individual but to me it is the determination and control one uses on themself to make choices that will ensure success or will ensure that something is gained in their favor. Having the chance to make our own decisions...

...Unlike other retailers, Urban Outfitters’ marketing nearly begins and ends with the shopping experience itself. The company does little if any advertising, in print or otherwise. Nearly everything rides on producing a unique experience. Urban Outfitters has been a consistent winner with tight marketing and storefronts that completely set it apart from other retailers. Typically a niche company finds a narrow category in the broader industry where it can outperform larger retailers. Once the consumer is singled out and approached with the right sort of attention, that consumer will respond to the brand. For Urban Outfitters, this meant understanding the psychology of a very specific group of customers and then doing something a big retailer literally could not do: be small and exclusive. But Urban Outfitters did it on a not-so-small scale and without much traditional marketing. From the beginning, Urban Outfitters used location, the shopping experience, and a certain sense of fashion to sell to people who were somewhat counterculture and certainly not looking for conformity. Originally thought of as the “hip” college crowd, the typical Urban Outfitters’ customer is looking for a sense of differentiation. By all indications, this conception was accidental; when Hayne opened his first 400 sq. ft. store, he probably had no illusions of “chipping away” at JC Penney’s or Sears’ market share. All the same, Hayne essentially invented a category, and discovered that his customers...

...I began my search process through the EBSCO Discovery Service bar on Clarion University by starting with the keywords “LGBTQ AND librar*” in order to receive library and libraries in the results. This brought up over 32,000 results - I narrowed the search down to 2012-2017, Full Text, and Academic Articles to start - which brought it down to about 4,600. I knew that I did not want young adults or children, nor did I want collection development articles, which unfortunately consisted of many of the results. The first article I found was Self-Censorship in Selection of LGBT-Themed Materials by Jennifer Downey. While this article is not a library service, per say, it does speak pointedly about how librarians should treat the idea of LGBT lifestyle in their performances, whether it is purchasing materials or seeking out the community....

...both search bars I searched for “ privacy and security on the internet” and was amazed by the different results between the two. The main difference I noticed between the two was how easy and fast I was able to validate and verify the information from the EBSCO results and not so much from the Google results. On the EBSCO database, the first thing you see when you click on a search result is some brief background information of the article. It lists the Authors, Document type, company or entity that’s running the article and a brief discussion of what the articles about. Additionally, you can click on the text to find out more information about the author or company running the article. When I see information like that it puts a good feeling in my gut that tells me that the information is good to go. When I go through the Google results, not all of them have authors attached to the articles or if they do their names aren't hypertext so I can’t just click on it and get more information that way. I would have to open a new window and do a whole new search. Also, on the Google results, a lot of them were trying to sell me something or had a bunch of Ads popping up and causing distraction. This was not the case with the EBSCO database; it was strictly for informational purposes. Another difference I noticed was that when I evaluated the sites using the techniques provided by UC-Berkeley (Evaluating Web Pages: Techniques to Apply & questions to Ask) I found that the...

...International Communications Proposal Social Media Communication Behaviors in China In January 2011, Fast Company published an article that focused on the social media revolution in China. It depicts the Chinese social networks currently exploding in the country, which rival competitors like Facebook and Twitter, both illegal in China. The newer upstarts are causing a surge among the young generation, by facilitating communication and open expression previously thought to be extinct in the Communist country. But the most astonishing information is statistics found by Netpop Research in San Francisco pertaining to Chinese online behaviors. “Chinese Internet users are twice as conversational as American users; in other words, they’re twice as likely to post to online forums, chat in chat rooms, or publish blogs (Rabkin).” This research paper will attempt to share insight into China’s 420 million Internet users (Crampton) and their communication behaviors compared to Americans through the discussion of social media. This information is relevant on the international level as China, or the People’s Republic of China, is home to over 1.339 billion people. It is the world’s second-largest country by land area. They are the world’s largest exporter and second-largest exporter of goods. And as of 2011, it ranks second only to the United States by both nominal GDP and purchasing power parity (China).
