Introduction:
Business today retains a variety of problems, a major one of these problems are breaches in information and consequently society has come up with Information security to help secure peoples privacy. In order to understand why we have information security, one has to first apprehend the value of information. Typical information stored by different businesses and individuals will consist of an assortment of hypersensitive information that revolves around their employees, financial status, earnings, plans for the future, personal information etc. Naturally the more information we store and process in cyber space, the more of the risk of unauthorised entry occurs. Thus, protecting our information has become a number one priority, as information security helps protect lives and businesses.
In today’s day and age it is vital for various companies and institutions throughout the world, to practise information security. Various collections of information need to be securitized in order to help protect the privacy of both clients and customers. Information security refers to the act of protecting information and information systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption modification or destruction (Laura Schneider, 2012). Data held on various IT systems could be of value and critical to the business, thus it is essential to maintain that the information security is most up-to-date.

Secrecy means Impropriety In today’s government and related services there are many loop holes and places to hide things from the people of the United States of America and all other countries. While nothing is perfect, nothing of this scale should be so subject to privacy. Hiding these things leads to disasters and mistrust of the system that is meant to be for the people, a system to not fail the body it governs. Over the years things such as the cover up of the John F. Kennedy assassination
America, the land of the free. The land that was made off the idea that the people should be in charge of themselves, of their own government, and have a say in the decisions. The founding fathers that helped put us in charge of ourselves are heroes. In recent times, there was a man that wanted America to be in charge of itself, just like our founding fathers did. Edward Snowden is a hero for exposing what our government was doing behind our backs without our consent. He is responsible for the largest
attention of the FBI. Under the leadership of J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI made the BPP their number one target. In the year 1968 Hoover stated, “the Black Panther Party, without question, represents the greatest threat to internal security of the country”. He was not the only one in America who felt this way about the Black Panther Party. The FBI and other people who were against them began to target the BPP with violence and fake conspiracies which would slowly begin to tear them

State (also included is additional basic information): Sweden, a fairly small country, located in Northwestern Europe on the Scandinavian Peninsula, shares its borders with Norway on the right, and Finland on the left. The northern region of Sweden is within the artic circle whereas the south is more temperate with heavily cultivated fertile land. It is known for its cold winters and large forests.

A Wikileaks, a non-profit international organization founded in 2006, definitely opened a new dimension of journalism by releasing information that should not be banned from the public in the name of the American idea of greater democracy. The citizens deserve to know the truth regardless of how damaging it might be. An analysis of organization's background reveals why the Wiki-Leaks'
In the future, cyber crime will become the leading threat to the safety and security of the American people. Experts on cyber crime agree that cyber crime is an issue that needs to be focused on more in-depth because the wide-spread use of computers by the global economy has made the use of computers and internet vital to everyday life (Siegel, 2009; FBI, 2011). There are 3 major types of cyber crime which includes: cyber fraud, cyber vandalism, and cyber terrorism (Seigel, 2009; Thio, 2010). Cyber

Much of the information that WikiLeaks has published would be considered sensitive material and extremely classified by the US Government and many other governments across the world. Background WikiLeaks.org was officially founded on October 4th, 2006 (Wall Street Journal). It operates from servers based in Sweden where

gallery's activity was scrutinized as over the top political rightness, as were different choices taken near the same time, including the renaming of the "Primitive Art Galleries" to "Expressions of the human experience of Africa, Oceania and the Americas" and the anticipated "Islamic Galleries" to "Middle Easterner Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia and Later South Asia".
China and Iran have had the most confirmed executions as of 2014 (Death Penalty Focus). In contrast, multiple countries such as Sweden and Spain have declared this punishment barbaric and a violation of basic human rights. The actual number of executions that have been carried out in China are unknown and considered a state secret. By concealing information like execution rates, China displays a fear of marring their image with such a brutal practices (Death Penalty Worldwide). Although capital

fascism. After Hitler’s rise to power and a second world war become an inevitability, other socialist movements were halted. The two exceptions to the rule were in Sweden and Canada. In Sweden, the Sweden Socialist Party managed to counter large scale unemployment with extensive social policies. Canada followed a similar path to socialism as Sweden with the exception that their party was mainly comprised of rouge farmers who left the United States in search of better opportunities. These
1979 7.5% of household income went to the top one percent, and in 1997 it jumped to 13.6 %. Another fact from the article is a study conducted by Lars Osberg from Dalhousie University. It found that the poor in America worked more hours than their poor counterpart in Canada, Britain, Sweden, France, and Germany. The third fact that I think is relatively important is that since 1979 the tuition at America's public colleges has risen faster than most parent's income. Thus giving the poor even less of
This again, shows that “poverty does not cause crime, it’s the mentality of others(Prager,D, 2005)” as Prager argues. This statement alone is worth remembering when an American claims that violent crime in America is caused by poverty. The poor who commit murder, rape, and robbery are not only not starving, they have far more material possessions than the word “poverty” suggests. Among all poor households:over 99 percent have a refrigerator, television, and
