How did the SOX act of 2002 change IT auditing?
The Impact of Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act of 2002 on IT Auditing The Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act of 2002 was a major milestone in the history of IT auditing and was enacted to counter the wave of corporate misconduct during that era. The SOX Act implemented a rigorous framework of standards and controls, demanding increased accountability and financial transparency from American publicly traded companies and their auditors. Companies are now required to establish, implement, and maintain effective internal control systems for financial and IT processes. The Act’s impact on IT auditing was huge, as it required for organisations to identify and safeguard the data that was important to the financial reporting process (Booter, 2017). The SOX Act also created framework for IT auditors to evaluate IT systems for their reliability, accuracy, and compliancy (McKee, 2020). Today, the SOX Act acts as a cornerstone for IT auditing standards, as it provides a mandatory framework to assess IT systems and its controls. As a result, organisations have become more vigilant in managing their IT systems and have improved their internal control system to ensure its compliance with SOX. References Booter, T. (2017).

Analyze Style and Rhetoric Reverend Murphy said that African Americans
“will accept in the white man’s country the place assigned him by the white man, … not by stress of rivalry, but by genial cooperation with the white man’s interests.” Why do you think some people found this offensive?
Analyze Reverend Murphy’s language
Reverend Murphy’s statement is couched in a language of subservience, which is likely to have been seen as demeaning by some African Americans. He suggests, for example, that African Americans should accept whatever place is ‘assigned’ to them by white people. This implies that they have no choice but to accept whatever role they are given, without any input from themselves. This is highly patronizing and could be seen as a way of justifying white supremacy. Reverend Murphy also uses the term ‘genial cooperation’ to describe the relationship between white and black people. This language implies that there is an inherent power imbalance between the two groups, with white people being in charge, and African Americans being expected to cooperate. This could be seen as completely disregarding the fact that African Americans had a history of oppression and struggle in the United States, and were still fighting for their rights. Reverend Murphy’s language also reflects a shared narrative of white people as benevolent rulers, who are generous enough to allow African Americans to have a role in society. This narrative is extremely problematic, as it ignores the reality of ongoing racism and the fact that. Cont…

The film I chose is “Miss Representation” (2011), directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom. Miss Representation is a documentary that explores how the media’s misrepresentations of women have led to the underrepresentation of women in positions of power and influence. The film examines how women are portrayed in the media, from advertisements to news programs, and how these images have a powerful effect on society’s views of women and girls. I had heard of Miss Representation before, but I was interested in seeing it as part of this assignment because it would give me a better understanding of the subject matter. After watching the film, I learned three key take-away lessons. First, the media greatly influences how we view ourselves and others. Images of women in the media are often hyper-sexualized, and this can lead to the objectification of women. Second, the lack of representation of women in positions of power in the media can lead to a lack of representation in real life. Third, it is possible to change these stereotypes by being conscious of how we consume and create media. I believe this film is important and pertinent to our discussion in our class. It provides vivid examples of how women are represented in the media and how. Cont…

Based on the book Undocumented Politics: Place, Gender and the Pathways of Mexican Migrants, Discuss how the Hometown Association model (HTA) was used by migrants from Retorno to exert political influence in their local community.
The Hometown Association (HTA) model, also known as “asociaciones de nativos,” is a form of transnational organizing used by Mexican migrants to exert political influence in their local communities (Gonzalez, 2015). According to the book Undocumented Politics: Place, Gender and the Pathways of Mexican Migrants (Gonzalez, 2015), the HTA model emerged in the 1980s as a way for Mexican migrants to send resources and support back to their communities of origin. HTAs are typically organized around a specific town or region in Mexico, and are made up of migrants who have migrated from that area. Through their involvement in HTAs, migrants are able to stay connected to their communities of origin and maintain a sense of belonging despite being physically separated. They also have the opportunity to participate in the political and economic development of their communities, often through the funding of infrastructure projects and the provision of social services (Gonzalez, 2015).
