The law attempts to balance individual rights with the rights of society. Two areas in which this conflict is particularly challenging are intellectual property rights as they relate to online materials and the new kinds of surveillance that digital media enable.

Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper on whether you think the law has achieved an appropriate balance in protecting conflicting rights regarding copyright protection and digital surveillance.

Address the following points in your paper:

• The ease of copying and sharing materials on the Internet and its effect on copyright
• The influence of the open-source movement on attitudes toward copyright
• The relationship between creativity and innovation with intellectual property rights
• The personal and professional effects of digital surveillance versus organizational needs for information and control, such as employer monitoring of employee computer use, business monitoring of customers’ Internet behavior, government monitoring of citizens, and so on
• Whether foreseeable changes in copyright protection and digital surveillance will improve or impair the balance in the future

Cite at least two peer-reviewed sources to support your work.

Format the paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Do women talk too much? Janet Holmes is an academic author who has publishing many articles about social guidelines. In this article Janet Holmes try to prove that women talk actually less than men and belief that women always talk more than men can be stereotype. Because People usually approve that women talk more than men in general. That’s special a female author wrote an essay which named is ‘women talk too much’. Even though she used some strong evidence for her article and her point, bur her claim is not effective enough.
In this article, Janet Holmes use claim inefficiently. In ‘women talk too much’ Holmes wrote that ‘despite the widespread belief that women talk more than man, most of the available evidence suggests just the opposite (300).’She believes that women actually talk less than men. She also showing many evidence to prove that ‘widespread’ is not true. Also in her conclusion, Holmes claim that ‘it all depends on different factors, including the social contract in which the talk is talking place, the kind of talk in involved and the relative social confidence of the speakers. Which is affected by such things as their social rules and their familiarity with the topic’ (304). She wants to say that women talk much then men only in some special and certain situation. But there is no certain answer for this argument who talk more women or men. This claim that Janet Holmes give in the end is controversial with the one that the author give in the beginning of her essay. Since readers who read this article will have a hard time to understand Janet Holmes position of the article, the main claim that Janet Holmes gave readers is not strong enough.
Janet Holmes also use some facts to improve her opinion. She use evidence to support that men talk more when men participate many participate many public activities. But women talk more when women in some private conversations. In general, the truths that Janet Holmes provide can be really supportive. For example, author wrote that ‘Miriam Meyerhoff asked a group of ten young people clear to the interviewees that the more speech they produced the better.’(302). Miriam Meyerhoff is a sociolinguist who comes from New Zealand .Janet Holmes use the expert truths to support the fact women were much more likely than men to be willing to talk to people at length .It is convincing .In this ‘women talk too much’. Holmes explained that ‘Evidence collected by American, British and New Zealand researchers shows that men dominate the talking time in committee meetings. Staff meetings, seminars and task- oriented decision- makings groups ’(301) This facts makes a lot of sense, because of this fact that people know it from their own life. Therefore. Janet Holmes’s evidence can be very useful.
But Janet Holmes also has a weak claim, but the best part of this is article is her ton, and she also did a well present since I did not read anything that extremely good or bad in her article. I believe that she use some natural tone to try to explain her claim. In Janet Holmes article ‘women talk too much’, she believes that ‘we have now reached the conclusion that the question ‘do women talk more than men?’ cannot be answered ‘yes or no’ the answer is rather’, ‘it all depends’. (304) I think that Holms use a very natural tone .People usually use very directly way to speak when they have a conversation with other peoples. However, instead of saying ‘no’ Janet Holmes says ‘it’s depends’. (304) Author choose tone in a general and effective way. People who has different opinion about man and women who talks more will getting easily to accept the statement that Holmes use. Thus, the tone that Holmes use is well, and it can help her audience to understand better.
For the conclusion. The author Janet Holmes’s article’ women talk too much’ is generally persuasive. Janet Holmes uses a very good tone, and she also provides some strong evidence for her article. I suggest author as a reader. Holmes focus on her claim, maybe she should talk these claim to readers directly. That will be more helpful for reader to understand this article, to make reader more agree with her point. Talk her claim directly is better.
