Term Paper: A Key Concept in Information Systems Protecting Information Resources CIS Management Information Systems The subject of my paper is about the history and origin of protecting information resources. Data protection dated back as far as 1890 was with the U.S. Census. Then‚ employers used a punch card to record equipment which was known as a tabulating machine. The punch cards were used for data storage for several years. The photo below shows what a punch card looks like. (Global

components of Thomas Aquinas’ cosmological argument for the existence of God are the argument from first motion‚ the argument from first cause‚ the argument from degrees‚ and the argument from the contingent. The argument from first motion is practically the thought that because things move in the universe and something else caused those things to move‚ then there must be an initial mover—that initial mover is God (Vaughn 64-65). Aquinas’ second argument is that from first-cause‚ this is basically

Canterbury1‚ the ontological argument was born in the early 1100’s. The ontological point of view‚ according to St. Anselm‚ describes God as “a being than which no greater can be conceived”.2 St. Anselm concluded that if such being failed to exist‚ another even greater being could be conceived that does exist. This argument would be illogical‚ as no being can be greater than the greatest being. Therefore God must exist. As you can see‚ St. Anselm’s ontological argument attempts to prove the existence

Hume’s arguments against the existence of God are not logical or valid for three reasons: the reality and complexity of the universe is evidence for the existence of God; the nature of a miracle is that it interrupts the closed‚ natural world; and the fact of free

makes up life. One of the most critical arguments that claim that there must be a God is the Kalem Cosmological argument‚ which uses the universe’s mere existence or the beginning of the universe’s existence to claim that whatever has a beginning‚ must have a cause‚ insinuating that the cause of the universe’s beginning is in theory‚ God. Though with creative intellect in further questioning it’s impossible for one not to question that the Cosmological argument may be correct in theory‚ but does the

Outline the cosmological argument for the existence of God (21) The Cosmological argument is an argument that attempts to prove the existence of God‚ it is also known as the causation argument which argues that as all events require a cause‚ if the universe is an event it must have a cause and that cause is God. The argument is a posteriori because its based on evidence that already exists in the universe. The cosmological argument is also inductive because the conclusion is what
Premium Cosmological argument
St Thomas Aquinas version of The Cosmological Argument Aquinas developed the five ways to prove the existence of God. He based his arguments on what could be observed‚ his observations included that the universe moves and changes. From his observations he reached conclusions about the existence of God. However‚ Aquinas did actually accept the fact that he may not prove that the cause of the universe is the God of classical theism. He also did not accept infinity because he believed that there had

Explain Anselm’s Ontological argument (25 marks) Anselm‚ Archbishop of Canterbury and a monk was the creator of the Ontological Argument. The main aspect behind the argument was that the existence of God was true‚ in simple words‚ God exists. The argument is deductive as it depends only on knowledge and logic‚ not on experience as experiencing God is impossible physically. It is also a priori for similar reasons; the argument relies on logic alone. Anselm put forward his ideas about the existence

My thesis is that war is ethically wrong. My main argument goes as follows: Any action that kills an innocent person without their direct consent is ethically wrong; war kills innocent people without their direct consent. Therefore war is ethically wrong. The first premise of my main argument states that any action that kills an innocent person without their direct consent is ethically wrong. On average‚ many people would agree with this statement. To kill an innocent person for whatever reason
