The book-length readings/media resources that accompany your study might not seem to have much to do with the topic of your Final Project—at least not on the surface—but when you think about their broad themes and how they are still today, you begin to make connections.Respond to of the following five main topics in the area of the course navigation menu. Respond to the topic that is designated for the Discussion Group to which you were assigned based on your selection. Be sure to provide for any outside sources used, using formatting. The required reading should be completed prior to this Discussion post and should be referenced in the Discussion post, using APA formatting.  This week, be sure to participate in the Discussion thread based on the case study you selected. You may also read and respond to discussions about other case studies but your main post due on Day 4 should be in the thread related to your chosen case study. >>>>>>>Topic 2: What do the censorship and lack of privacy at the center of have to do with the topic of your Final Project and with current events?

Your solution should draw on the content presented in the course. The outline below lists points/topics to cover. You are free to provide additional, related information.Provide technical and justification reasons for each choice, citing resources as appropriate. Provide rough estimates of scheduling and manpower required for deploying your solution. You may summarize the schedule and manpower at the end of the document, or include it separately for each section.The Windows Server 2012 operating system should be used for all aspects of the solution.Your solution should cover the following four numbered areas and associated bulleted items listed under each:Your submission will: currently hiring staff and establishing two locations, and they also have a need to get their internal IT services configured. The firm does not yet have an IT staff, but when they do, that staff will take over all aspects of IT administration. You are required to supply WAI with a solution that describes the implementation and configuration of their core IT services. The cost of the implementation is not expected to exceed the company’s budget, so it does not have to be considered in this solution. WAI wants to implement a solution that will meet the company’s needs for the next two to three years. There are several details about WAI that will have an impact on your choices: 1. WAI will start with 300 employees in the following departments: a. Executives (10 employees) – Manage and run the company b. Accounts and Sales Department (150 employees) – Perform market research and maintain accounts c. Creative, Media, and Production Department (100 employees) – Advertising d. Human Resources and Finances (30 employees) – Perform HR and financial duties e. IT (10 employees) – Manage IT for the company 2. WAI will have two sites, one in Los Angeles and one in New York. Most staff will be located in Los Angeles, with at least one person from each of the departments above located in New York City. 3. Networking equipment is already in place for both sites. A secure tunnel (using IPSec) will be      connectivity. 4. Security mechanisms (e.g., firewalls, intrusion detection) will be handled separately, and there is no need to describe them. 5. Some departments will want their data to remain private from other departments (e.g., Finances personnel will not want Production staff to see the company\’s financial details). Your team may make assumptions about how data should be shared or kept private. 6. Assumptions can be made regarding any information not included here; however, all assumptions should be identified.

In particular,, you will present a final improved version of your argument for your thesis that you begin for the and fully address the objection that you developed for your .

NO PlagUse recognized articles where necessary Conduct library research to find two research studies that discuss a factor that supports or hinders self-actualization. The studies could range widely from workplace empowerment to parenting styles. You may select a positive factor or a negative factor. That is, you can discuss a key factor or factors that support the pursuit or you can discuss a key factor or factors that researchers recognize as current obstacles to this pursuit. For example, a hindering factor might be the scarcity of food in some cultures.For each paper and each of the two required factors:For each of the two principles, theories, or laws:Write about the foundations of an empowering society or culture.

You are creating a society with certain factors in place to empower its population.For this imaginary,  society, address the following:
