WK 6 ASSIGNMENT ************* DRAFT Thesis **********

Completing this project will give us an opportunity to show that they have mastered the necessary skills require for advanced studies and for professional requirements. With this, a student will be able to show off what he or she can do even without work experience (Bunton, D., 2014). Since the project shows all the research that the student has done and the findings, anyone looking at it will be able to see exactly what his or her area of study was dealing with having in mind that the project is the student owns work which has zero plagiarism and therefore it will be seen that the student knows exactly what he was studying and he has the necessary skills to engage in a professional area requiring those particular skills.

Besides, it will complement the knowledge that the student has on the particular course that he or she is taking. While doing the research, the student gets to learn more about the course they are undertaking, (Danese, P., Manfè, V., & Romano, P. 2018). They will get a deeper understanding of that particular course and can be able to relate it with severally practical instances. It will also help one to be able to know how to apply whatever it is they have been learning theoretically in real life instances. This is because research involves gathering enough proof from primary sources, which includes one’s own first-hand data and secondary sources, that is, books, articles etcetera, and actually testing the data and making conclusions in accordance with the findings.

It will also help the student to be able to conduct a larger research in future. Different research firms require one to do a research on a certain thing, for example, the reason behind political instability in a certain country for a period of let us say twenty years. This kind of research will require one to have some background in research. This is because one will need to have done a research to actually know how to be able to go about it. This is why it is important for someone to do this project. Since learning gives one the know-how required in professional fields, doing the project completes the main purpose of one undertaking a course. It acts like the practical part of the course.

Everything that has a beginning sure has an end. That includes any course anyone takes. Completing a thesis literature review will mark the end of the course a student is taking and it will be now up to him or her to proceed to work in their desired profession or to further their education. This is because a project is among the last things a person does and it requires one to have perfect knowledge in their course since the knowledge is what steers one into yielding a project that is of quality. Having done the project, nothing more is expected of the student from that course and therefore they can be able to proceed with any other thing they please to indulge in.

Identity theft is the act of impersonating someone with an aim of gaining a financial benefit or any other gains using that other person’s identity. The student wants to find out what causes identity theft. Almost every human being, before they do anything, have a reason as to why they are doing that particular thing. From the research conducted, it can be concluded that people indulge in this malicious activities in order to gain financial benefits. It has been found out that most people that do identity fraud are people who are not financially stable or people who have low-income rates. These shows that these are persons of a low class who are looking for a way to get quick money, whether it is legally or illegally, and in this instance, they use an illegal channel since it is wrong to impersonate someone else.

The student also wishes to find out who are the main victims of this distasteful act, identity theft. The research proves that a large number of people that have become victims of this mischievous behavior of identity theft are people of a high-class level. These are people who have financial status and some of the social status. The fraudsters gain financial benefits and other benefits from their victims which is their point of interest. It is very likely that the people who do identity theft believe that pretending to be a person with status will allow you to be open to so many opportunities and will help you meet well-connected people. This is because individuals from low class and middle class believe that wealthy persons are well connected.

From the project, the student also hopes to find out whether the issue of identity fraud is reducing or increasing across the years. From the research that shows the survey that was done on a certain sampling frame, it can be seen that over the years the number of identity frauds has been increasing (Galvan, J., & Galvan, M. , 2017). . This also was researched from previous cases that have been reported of that kind of fraud. It was found out that every year they record a higher number of identity fraud compared to the previous year. This shows that there is a very high probability that the more our technology advances, the more danger is posed to us since it makes it easier for random individuals to access our personal information illegally. This is because, as time goes by, it becomes easier to access any information that you want simply by feeding it to Google and everything you want is displayed on your screen.

The purpose of this project is also to find out what has been done about the subject at hand, (Ghisellini, et al., 2018) For the researches show that so many cases have been reported on persons that impersonate others, the student wanted to know what measures have been taken to curb the issue at hand. It has been seen that the issue at hand has been increasing at an alarming rate. This shows that it’s something that should be looked into keenly. Since most of the culprits get the information from the computer, it is therefore evident that safety measures should be taken in order to be able to curb this particular issue. When uploading important personal information, someone should also take great care not to post them in sites that do not assure security. Each person should be responsible when it comes to uploading important information in that, one should know the secure sites that they can trust and the insecure ones.

Lastly, the learner expects to know what happens to anyone who is charged with an offense of stealing someone else’s identity. In order for an offense to be completely curbed, there must be consequences of committing that particular offense. That will be able to curb it since it will remove part of the fun and also it will make the people think twice before deciding to take part in that activity. A study shows that some people that have been found guilty of identity theft have been caught and are serving their sentence in jail, (Hart, C., 2018). Such an act serves as a warning to anyone who has any intentions of pretending to be another person with any kind of intentions.

Therefore, by the end of the thesis literature review, the student will have found out which kind of individuals indulge in identity theft. He will also be able to identify the group of people that are normally targeted by this people. Moreover, he will be able to know the exact prevention measures that should be taken so as not to be one of the victims and lastly find out what happens to people who are found guilty of these charges.
