What can I know regarding philosophers

How do we acquire knowledge?  What approach does Descartes take to the question “What can I know?”  How does this approach fit with his idea of doubt?  How would George Yancy and Derrick Jensen each critique such an approach?  With whom do you agree and why?

Thoroughly aswer the following questions: 1. Immunomedics was alerted that there was some negative buzz about the company in a chat room. The poster used a pseudonym, and therefore the company was unable to identify the poster for lawsuit purposes.

Thoroughly answer the following questions:

1. Immunomedics was alerted that there was some negative buzz about the company in a chat room. The poster used a pseudonym, and therefore the company was unable to identify the poster for lawsuit purposes. The only information the company could ascertain was the poster’s ISP. So the company decided to subpoena the ISP for identity information of the poster in order to file suite against the poster. How should the courts handle these cases, where the company’s complaints may, or may not rise to the level of an actionable legal claim?

2. Should Craigslist be subject to liability for FHA violations? Why or why not? Cite appropriate legal principles when explaining your answer.

3. HHS and the FTC recently launched an investigation into a major pharmacy chain for its information disposal practices. The regulators claimed that the pharmacy chain failed to protect customers’ sensitive financial and medical information by disposing prescriptions and labeled pill bottles in dumpsters that were accessible by the public. Based on the HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996), what consequences should a company face for failing to properly dispose of customer information? For HIPAA act, you may check the website.

4. Trust is an important part of the continued growth and development of the Internet. This is particularly the case with respect to social networking. Media reports of disturbing stories and case law alike have shown some of the consequences that can arise when individuals create false social networking profiles. In a case in California, and individual established a fake MySpace profile of his former church pastor. On the profile, he posted content that suggested that the pastor used drugs and was homosexual. Can criminal charges be brought against the party that created the fake profile?

5. Read the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) at ED, discuss who has access to your educational record at APUS. Furthermore, what is the roles and responsibilities for APUS instructors and students to comply with FERPA

The Matrix v. Plato’s ‘The Cave’

Using both your own knowledge and the Grau and Partridge articles, discuss in detail how the film “The Matrix” illustrates Plato’s allegory of the cave.  How does it differ from Plato’s allegory? What does the film suggest about how we know things?  Does Plato agree? Do  you?

Socrates Obeying the State

In the Apology and the Crito, is Socrates saying one should always obey the state no matter what? What argument is he making in the Crito by having the law speak rather than saying those words himself?  How does what the law says connect with with what Socrates says about obedience to the state and conscience in the Apology? How does it connect with his own life and actions?  When should one obey the state?  How would Henry David Thoreau, who refused to pay his taxes because they would be used in part to support slavery and who briefly went to jail for his choice, answer Socrates? Would he urge Socrates to escape or to stay in jail?  Do you agree with either or both of these thinkers on when a person should obey the state? Why or why not? Illustrate your answer with arguments from the Apology, the Crito, and Civil Disobedience.

  Cruise the APUS Library search tools shown in the list below.  Share in your forum post at least 3 databases, search engines, or portals that you explored. Indicate which one(s) might be the most helpful to your research.  Use this assignment to explore at least one search tool new to you.

To get started, check out the APUS Library video tutorials.  You can access them via the ONLINE RESEARCH tab in the main navigation bar on the library’s home page. All videos are closed captioned and are best viewed using Firefox.  These FAQs that might also be useful to help you access the tutorials:

I need help with learning to use the library. Are there any tutorials?
Are there tutorials that can help me learn to use specific library databases?
I’m new to e-books. Are there any tutorials that can help me get more comfortable with them?
What is the Academic Integrity Tutorial?
The web resources in the APUS Library linked below may be helpful in your research.
Social Science Research Network
IR and Security Network
Directory of Open Access Journals
Here’s a FAQ that may help you:  Where can I find open access journals or ebooks in our library?
Current Government Information
Education/Web
Google Scholar
Please note that is you use Google Scholar from inside the APUS Library the results will indicate which sources are available in the library. This FAQ explains how to do this: How can I see full-text links for the APUS Library in Google Scholar?
3.  Sometimes looking at poor examples of a piece of writing can help us build better examples.  In this part of the forum, we are going to look at some research questions that are not particularly well-designed.  Well see why these are problematic and look at improved versions.

To see them go to the Sample Research Questions in the APUS Librarys Writing@APUS section.  You will see a table showing questions that are identified as being problematic and then revised to be well-designed.  The problems identified in these questions are shown here:

Too narrow
Unfocused/too broad
Too objective
Too simple
After you have looked at the well-designed version of the questions and read the rationale for the changes, post your views on why the problematic research questions should be revised.  For example, explain why a research question that is too narrow is a problem and, at the other end of the spectrum, why a research question that is too broad is not a good idea.  Explain why being too objective could be an issue and why a question that is too simple is less than desirable.

As you address these undesirable traits, try drafting poorly designed questions from your field of study.  For instance, if your field is environmental management, a research question that is too broad might be something like this:  What are the effects of climate change?  A question that is too simple might be:  How are cities addressing issues of climate change?  Although you may not come up with examples of problematic research questions from your field for all 4 traits, do your best. Try to share at least 2 examples.

When you respond to the posts of others, see if you agree with their reasons for these traits being problematic.  Give them respectful, constructive feedback on the examples they set forth.

(Please note that the table used in the APUS Librarys Sample Research Questions page is based on the work done at the Center for Innovation in Research and Teaching of Grand Canyon University, Phoenix, AZ.  The page has a link to this center where youll find more info about research questions, including a list of additional resources.)

The APUS Library, in its Writing@APUS section, explores the traits of research questions (even though this is in the section for graduate students, it applies to the work you are doing in this course).  The site looks at what a research question is and what it is not. It looks at strong and weak research questions and compares research questions and thesis statements.  Take a few moments to review this information:  Writing the Research Question.

Then, following the model below (including bold headings), compose and submit a set of 5 research questions for a topic in your field of study or major that really intrigues you. These research questions will guide you as you begin your research process.  You will likely find that one research question stands out and that, ultimately, your thesis statement may provide answer(s) to that research question. 

Remember that your final 2,000 word paper must include a minimum of 7 sources with at least 4 sources coming from peer-reviewed journals from the APUS library.
