Write a 2–3 page paper in which you:

Describe the impact of telecommuting on energy conservation, IT operational costs, “green computing,” and shifts in telecommuters’ lifestyles (for example, parents, disability.).
Describe how the business infrastructure should be designed so that employees will be able to continue to perform business functions in the event of a disaster (that is, storm, hurricane, or earthquake) that destroys or makes it impossible to access the buildings.
Determine four advantages and four disadvantages of telecommuting from an IT manager’s point of view. Elaborate on each advantage and disadvantage.
Examine the effect of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) to the IT infrastructure with regard to security, IT support, knowledge, and data management, green computing, and telecommuting.

Telecommuting and the Mobile Worker

Due to the advance of Internet technology, the work styles of white-collar workers are expected to change drastically in the future. The most typical style is telecommuting, which means that a worker works in his or her home instead of commuting to the office for several days of a week. Telecommuting is indeed an excellent thing to consider. The impacts of telecommuting on energy conservation include: telecommuters have less fuel to use; reduced carbon pollution from telecommuters; and environmental preservation. Teleworking technologies are variously implemented for green computing initiatives and the many advantages include lower greenhouse gas emissions related to travel, greater worker satisfaction and, as a result of lower overhead office costs, increased profit margins.

Seaman, 1983, 6).

The frustration/aggression hypothesis was also derived from Freud. He believed that aggressive energy build-up must be periodically released before it reached dangerous levels. If it were not released then it would lead to certain acts like serial killing. Others believe that such frustration dissipates naturally without violent acts, and that the theory cannot help in explaining serial murder (Horse, 2001, 5).

The development approach is what I talked about at the beginning of the paper. I am going over this theory repeatedly because this is what I believe makes these monsters and I think it can be stopped. This approach goes into more depth about the childhood symptoms. This approach talks about the childhood behavior of bed-wetting, arson and torturing of animals. The bed-wetting is said to be a form of sadistic and hostile rebellion towards parents. Fire setting is associated with violence and torturing animals is a further form of rebellion against keeping pets as cherished friends (Mukherjee, 1998). Physical abuse as a child also plays a prominent role in the development of a serial killer. This abuse creates mistrust, an inability to establish meaningful personal or sexual relationships, feelings of low self-worth, lack of social skills, a sense of helplessness, inability to make decisions, and inability to plan life goals. The sexual abuse will make a person withdrawal into a fantasy life. To protect themselves from going crazy, the people being abused may pretend that the abuse is actually happening to someone else. After a person is abused so long, their fantasy world becomes reality and the killings could start.

The personality approach to serial killing is a broad topic that holds many controversies. Aside from psychopathic personality disorder, other personality traits have been identified as contributing to serial killer behavior. Traits of impulsiveness, low empathy and poor social skills have been found in serial killers. Others traits such as antisocial behavior, and hypersensitivity to criticism come from the serial killers with low self-esteem (Horse, 2001, 2). If intelligence can be associated as a personality variable, then average to high intelligence is likely to assist a serial killer in avoiding police detection and capture. This might explain why such levels of intelligence are found in serial murderers and it takes so long for law enforcement to finally track these killers down (Mukherjee, 1998, 7). The role of personality in the study of serial killers is an area of continuous debate. The proper testing of serial killers has yet to be done and seems to be the only way to find out for sure.
