The Hacker

Self-Control Interdisciplinary Rational Hackers are people. While simplistic, this statement is the foremost factor for the need for an interdisciplinary approach to answer this question. People are complex. By extensions, many problems involving people are complex as well. Just as the human mind has been examined by academics within multiple disciplines; such as psychology and biology, it is reasonable to expect that discerning the motivational factors behind becoming a hacker would also…

Moral Complexity of Hackers Before taking this course, there was a simple understanding of the terms “black hats”, “grey hats”, and “black hats”; white hackers are good, grey hackers are a mix of good and bad, and black hats are evil. However I learned that these terms are more complicated; white hats work to sure up computer systems, grey hats shows system vulnerabilities, and black hats go after systems for personal gain (Conran 42). In addition, I had only heard of the term hacktivist once,…

Is Algebra Necessary? In the article “ Is Algebra Necessary?” author Andrew Hacker explains why he thinks math is good to a certain extent. He explains that to many people fail school before graduating high school. I agree with everything he has to say about algebra, as a high school student struggling to pass math myself. Math is a subject that many students of all ages fail yearly. Should we put our children through it or not? Will knowing the formula of a triangle and a trapezoid really…

(Andrew Hacker), I can start to dissect his argument. The first thing many others and I noticed when reading his article is the clear lack of understanding he has about the topic he is writing about, specifically the mathematical topics he mentions. “He is simply wrong about his first example. There is a good reason to study both polynomial functions and equations (parametric or otherwise), provided it is done properly”(Dr. Keith Devlin.) Hacker also mentioned a term called vectorial…

The article “ Is Algebra Necessary? By: Andrew Hacker” is the article the reader is asked to read to understand the debate he set off by writing this article and then you go back and read the other article “N Ways to Apply Algebra With The New York Times by: Patrick Honner” that says you should read Andrew Hackers article to get an understanding of the debate. Mr.Hacker has made quite a few good points along the lines of how he understands that math and learning all the basics of math is very…

In their article “Are Colleges Worth the Price of Admission?” Andrew Hacker and Claudia Dreifus offer harsh criticisms of colleges by insisting that they are not focusing on the right things, thus making higher education not worth the cost and efforts that students put into it. To support their argument they tell of their conclusion from a visit to college institutions across the United States. They say that there are some things that successful colleges do that distinguish them from other…

According to Hacker and Sommers’ in “Constructing Reasonable Arguments”, taking a stand on a controversial topic, swaying the reader with evidence and analysis, and citing all sources used within an essay are the stepping-stones to produce a well manufactured argumentative essay. The main goal is to persuade the reader to choose the writer's side of the argument over the opposing side in an informative way. Arguments happen everywhere all the time, which means there is more than one way to look…

on standardized testing. In his article, “Standardized Tests Are a New Glass Ceiling,” Andrew Hacker is able to establish a footing that women do significantly worse than men in test scores. Testing is used to give opportunities to those who do well on them; the possibility of scholarships or grants for educational…

due to their nature of work, which is under constant scrutiny. Outside factors can also cause the ethical morality and technical skills of the auditors mention above to be under scrutiny if not handled correctly. In the article called How Russian Hackers Stole the NASDAQ by Michael Riley one can see such example of an external factor. Not only must they perform well for their accounting firm, but they must also be in compliance with their client and the government regulations, nevertheless the…
