The Impact of Internet on People’s Lives
Brief History of the Internet and Impact on Professional Development
The growing desire to connect scientific research and military institutions in 1960s to share research information was key to the development of the internet. According to (Howe, 2014), J.C.R. Licklider of Massachusetts Institute of Technology was the first person to propose the global connections of computers in 1962. The computer networking would later lead to the development of the internet by Roberts in 1966. The development and adoption of internet has had a great impact on social, political and professional lives of people.
The development and use of internet has increased the ease at which scientific and research information is shared between individuals and institutions. Through the computer networking systems, people can access information from other computer systems. Internet has revolutionized research, has increased social interactions and impacted on the professional growth. Many people in the workplace can access and share information, increasing productivity and work efficiency.
The Social, Ethical, and Legal Issues That Emerged Due To the Internet The internet has grown from just a networking system for research and military fields to involve the whole people. Therefore, internet has impacted……………………………………………..
There are many advantages to living in a modern information society. Many Americans enjoy the benefits of online shopping, working from home, and social interaction on Internet-based social media.

Computer-Based Threats to People’s Privacy
The use of digital media and internet has transformed commerce, global communications and communities. There is now a connection everywhere through the mobile phones, the computers and other electronic devices. However, concerns remain as to how responsive and accountable the use of such connectivity will be to its users (Kellerman, 2010). The use of internet social media exposes one to risks of loss of privacy. When interacting with other users through online and performing other online activities such as shopping, the greatest concern relates to lose of private information. For instance, I am worried to lose my credit card information to online hackers while doing shopping. When interacting with online users through social media platforms, the greatest worry is lose of my passwords and private information which is in the databases of the platforms.
Many companies that offer online shopping and the social media platforms always store huge customer data in their systems (Ott, 2000). In order to protect such information from hackers, such companies encrypt their systems using strong passwords and computer antivirus. Moreover, such companies provide the customers with usernames and passwords in order to restrict access to their clients. Although companies have taken steps to protect the privacy of its clients, as an individual it is important to take a number of steps in order to protect one’s privacy (Ott, 2000). When shopping online, I safeguard my privacy by exercising caution when revealing my passwords and shipping address. Moreover, I ensure that I read the company privacy policies to determine their legitimacy and how they encrypt my……………………………..
Take a moment and reflect on the different people and experiences, both good and bad, that shape who you are today. This week you focus on social psychology and ethics in social psychology research by exploring some of Pat’s relationships in the case study.
Below you hear from Pat’s boss, best friend, medical doctor and her mother. As you read how each person describes Pat, begin to hypothesize how you think Pat interacts socially. Also, consider how you can study someone like Pat in an ethical manner.
Pat’s boss: Pat is somewhat of a laidback worker. She does not seem to take her work seriously. She is late getting to work sometimes, and she takes long breaks to smoke and to be alone.
Pat’s best friend: Pat has had a rough life. She suffers from a lot of emotional stuff. She is a good person, though. She just has it tough. I have had a rough life, so I know a little of what she’s going through.
Pat’s medical doctor: Pat has always done better in groups. When she was in the hospital, she seemed to be able to complete tasks better, and she seemed to be able to make better decisions for herself. I think this was, in part, because she had other people around her who could encourage her.
Pat’s mom: I wish she would stop smoking. She used to tell me she wanted to stop smoking. She must have tried a million times. She just never could do it. After a while, she started saying that she did not want to stop smoking because “I’m going to die anyway. I like smoking. It calms me down, and we are all going to die someday.”
As you read through this week’s resources, reflect on Pat’s different relationships. Consider how the different social psychology concepts and research apply to the Pat case study.

Week 3 Assignment
Application: Understanding Pat Using Social Psychology Research
Through social media and technology, people are more connected now than any other time is history. Human connections are powerful and results of these interactions can range from the heroes on Flight 93 to terrible atrocities like the Holocaust or Rwanda. Understanding cultural and social influence builds a foundation for understanding what makes people do what they do or do not do.
There are several theories that support social psychology. For example, attribution theory suggests that you tend to attribute the behavior of others to either disposition or external situation (Heider, 1958). Just as circumstances and disposition impact behavior, attitudes are also predictors of behaviors. Peripheral route persuasion argues that attitude changes are influenced by things, such as attractiveness or celebrity. Alternatively, central route persuasion argues that attitudes change based on scientific evidence and arguments. Central route persuasion is much more thoughtful and more likely to influence behavior. Additionally, external influences and personal attitudes influence your behavior.
For this assignment, you will choose one social psychology theory and apply it to Pat’s behavior.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review Module 36, “Social Thinking and Social Influence,” in the course text. Focus on attribution, social facilitation, and cognitive dissonance research.
Select one of the following research areas:
Social facilitation research
Attribution research
Cognitive dissonance research
Submit by Day 7 a paper of 2–3 pages in which you apply the research area you selected to Pat’s case study. Be specific and use examples from the case study to support your answer.

Application of Cognitive Dissonance Research to Pat’s Case
Human beings are social beings and they live by interacting with their friends, relatives and workmates. However, the individuals in the social group can easily influence an individual behavior, beliefs and attitudes (Myers, 2014) . The idea of social influence can result in conformity or reactance. The cognitive dissonance, explains the situation where an individual attitudes, behaviors and beliefs are in conflict. When an individual experiences such a situation, one is motivated to reduce the effects of dissonance, by changing his/her cognitions. Pat’s case provides a unique situation, in which her interaction with the environment has played in shaping her behaviour, which can be explained using the cognitive dissonance.
Cognitive Dissonance and Pat’s Case
Firstly, Pat beliefs that by taking her time to smoke and arriving when she deems right are the best ways for her. Her inner cognitions are that she can smoke anytime she wants and arrive whenever she feels to because after all she has a right of doing so. Her personal beliefs are so strong that she responds by developing ways that contradict the set rules and thus ensuring that her behavior matches the inner cognitions. That is why she does get to work early and smokes without worrying about times, since they represent behaviors that conform to her inner cognitions. Her behavior is a display of high cognitive dissonance. In contrast, in the case of her performance in a group and when alone, the source of conflict arises from her inner belief that productivity arises from group work, contrary to the individual job performance. Therefore, she reacts in order to conform to her inner cognitions, by adjusting and giving all her efforts in a group and thus performing better. However, in the situations in which she works on her own, her inner cognitions are clear that productivity can be achieved through group work. For her to achieve………………………………………………….
A reflection paper is NOT a research paper. You should use your own ideas to reflect upon the materials from the learning unit. Use the information in the learning unit to do the following:
Write a three page, double spaced essay which compares the ideas of religion as presented in each half of Unit Two, (Unit 2.1 and Unit 2.2). What is different about the way people understood and thought about religion? What is similar? What had to happen for people to change their view? Conclude by explaining how the ideas in the 21st century compare with the ideas presented in Unit Two.
The goal of this assignment is to work with the course materials by using quotations from the learning unit and your own knowledge to create an understanding of the questions/prompt above. Be sure to put quoted materials in quotation marks. Using web or outside sources will result in a grade of 0.

Case study:
Consider the problem of dividing $100 among three people. Suppose two of them agree to split that sum, with $60 going to one and $40 to the other. The third person, who receives nothing, has an incentive to strike a bargain with the second, offering a split of, say, $50 each, which makes them both better off than under the initial proposal. Faced with desertion, the first person can destabilize the new coalition by offering to accept $45, leaving $55 for one of the others. And so on. The game has three possible (and equally likely) outcomes in which two of the three players accept payments of $50 each, but the third player can always upset the equilibrium by cutting another deal. The same endless series of changing winning coalitions or vote “cycles” can emerge in elections involving three or more candidates or ballot issues when no one of them is strongly preferred by a simple majority of the voters.
Question: It has been recognized at least since the time of the Marquis de Condorcet (1785) that voting among three or more candidates or alternatives may fail to select the majority’s most preferred outcome or may be prone to vote “cycles” producing no clear winner. Which behavioral science theory is relevant to this case and how might solutions be implemented in this case?

submit a 1000 words paper on the topic English people versus American people. The United States is made up of many sub cultures and values within sub cultures vary from region to region which is not true in the case of Britain. The British hold a more conservative approach to their lifestyles and a common set of values prevails over the entire country making it and its people less receptive to outsiders and alien ideas. Furthermore, the British also have a more conservative immigration policy for outsiders to come to the country either to visit or settle with the natives of the land. On the contrary, America has shown more flexibility to its naturalization process and immigration is actually supported by the system- making it a land of opportunity for all. Moreover, people in Britain are linked with their heritage and location as where they are from and where their ancestors have been linked to. This creates a strong internal discrimination among themselves and has developed a class system within the country. Anywere starting from linkage to the royalty to the lords of the land, people feel pride in their heritage to an extent where hey actually discriminate their values over others living within the country and not belonging to the same level or maybe higher to their lineage (Denning, 1996).
Equality among people in Britain has suffered where no two classes are treated equally between the circles and this difference is clearly visible when comparing the labour over different industries. A coal miner does not get the same respect as a restaurant waiter. A manager in a big corporation feels and shows his elevated grace to a manager in a small firm. In the contrast, the American system of the society, though may at times be unjust, but is more liberal in the concept of equality (Christopher, 1999). Human Rights are made into laws and discrimination is discouraged by implementing legislations that enact to support equality and discourage gender or race discrimination.
