Go to the website https://www.racepowerofanillusion.org/themes/ and pick one of the themes listed. Watch or read 2-3 short media segments (they have articles, video clips, interviews, etc.) under that theme, then write a 300-400 word response explaining how what you’ve read/seen connects back to the theory of “discourse” and specifically Hall’s idea of race as a discursive category. (For instance, if you were reading about scientific racism, consider how the scientific discourse around race has historically produced “knowledge” in a way that benefits the dominant groups in power.) Make sure to cite Hall and whatever sources you look at on the website.

Your second writing assignment places you in the chair of a hacker with amazing

Your second writing assignment places you in the chair of a hacker with amazing social engineering skills. Using information from your book (and information located within Canvas), you are to create a thought-out phishing attempt on a group of your choice and send the draft of the email to the Black Hat leader of your hacking organization: The Rowdy Panthers
For this assignment, the first part should read like an email. Be sure to include the “from” address (where the email is supposed to originate from), who the email is going to/meant for, a catching phrase for the subject line, and the body of your phishing email. While you clearly will not have a link for me to click on (at least I hope you don’t…), you should explain where in the email you would place the link for your unsuspecting readers. An example would be: Click here (insert link here) to claim your prize!
Here is a very simplistic example:
From: FIU Info Tech ([email protected])
To: FIU Faculty
Subject: IMPORTANT! VERIFICATION OF PASSWORD NEEDED
Body: Here is where you should write about a paragraph. This is, effectively, your “sell.”
The second part of this assignment requires the following on a separate page:
Explain why, using information you have learned from this class, you may expect your specific phishing attempt to be successful (e.g., the chosen target(s), wording of the body, etc.).
Next, explain in detail how you would avoid falling prey to phishing attempts in general and what you would do if you came across one. Are there specific clues/tells that an email is a phishing attempt? Lastly, in your opinion, who do you feel is most likely to fall prey to phishing attempts (i.e., they click on the link/provide info, etc.)?
Your entire assignment should be no less than 2 pages, with the phishing email being single-spaced (again, it is supposed to look like an email to the best of your abilities within Microsoft Word), and the second part being doubled-spaces, 12pt Times New Roman font.

InstructionsThis week’s assignment involves writing a Python program to compute

InstructionsThis week’s assignment involves writing a Python program to compute the cost of house cleaning. Your program should prompt the user for the number of rooms in the house and the type of cleaning (e.g., floors, windows, bathrooms, dusting). Your program must offer at least two types of cleaning and the price is different for each type. You should decide on the choices to offer and the different prices of each type of cleaning. The cost should be based on whether the house has a small, medium, or a large number of rooms and the type of cleaning. You should decide on the cutoffs for what constitutes a small, medium, and large number of rooms. Your program should output the cost of the house cleaning based on the number of rooms and the type of cleaning.Your program should include Header comments (what the program does) and in-line comments (the major design steps). Document the values you chose as the cutoffs for the three house sizes, the cost for each size and the prices for each cleaning type in your comments as well.Submit your Python program as a text file (.py) file. In addition, submit a Design outline and a Test plan/report (3 different test cases) in a Word document or a PDF file, and include a screenshot of execution of your program for each test case. Your submission must also adhere to the Submission Requirements document (i.e., Filename and display your name, class, date in the output).Grading:10% – Design – outline proper sequence of steps, calculations (if necessary). Identify values of any known constants (cost of each service).10% – Test Plan – Completeness of your Test plan/report (at least 3 test cases). You should have tests to show your validation/error process. You should have at least one test case for each combination of the different choices selected. Include screenshots for each test case Include screenshots for each test case.10% – Documentation – Header and in-line comments. Include document for the values you chose as the known constants cost of each service (cutoffs for the three house sizes, the cost for each size and the prices for each cleaning type) in your comments as well. Documentation of major steps (from Design outline).70% – Program prompts and executes correctly on all test cases. Satisfies all requirements. (each requirement -10 pts, compiles -20 pts, effectiveness and neatness -10 pts, descriptive variables – 5 pts, def main() – 5 pts).
