Description
DISCUSSION BOARD FORUM INSTRUCTIONS
DB3 Big Brother
You are required to create a thread in response to the provided prompt. Thread must be at least 300 words with at least 2 citations in current APA format and must demonstrate course-related knowledge.
You will discuss the following questions.
Are we creating a “Big Brother” society and is the loss of personal privacy worth the price of safety?
In addition to the thread, you are required to reply to 2 other classmates’ threads. Each reply must be at least 150 words with at least 1 citation in current APA format. Responding to a classmate’s post requires both the addition of new ideas and analysis. A particular point made by the classmate must be addressed and built upon by your analysis in order to move the conversation forward. Thus, the response post is a rigorous assignment that requires you to build upon posts to develop deeper and more thorough discussion of the ideas introduced in the initial posts. As such, reply posts that merely affirm, restate or unprofessionally quarrel with the previous post(s) and fail to make a valuable, substantive contribution to the discussion will receive appropriate point deductions.
Acceptable sources include peer-reviewed journal articles from the Liberty University’s Online Library (ProQuest, ERIC, EBSCO, JSTOR) and other scholarly works to include volumes or books. Scripture is an acceptable source and when Scripture is cited, the student should explain how the Scripture adds to the discussion. Although the course textbook may be cited as a source, it is not counted in the required number of sources since the purpose of the Discussion Board is to move the discussion beyond the knowledge presented in the textbook.
