Self-paced
Yolanda: Gaining access to computers without authorization and manipulating the data and programs they contain is comparable to joyriding in stolen cars; both involve breaking into private property and treating it recklessly. ██████████ ████████ ██ ███ ████ █████████ █████ ███████ ██ ██████████ █████████ ███████ ███████ ████ ████████████ ████████ ██ ██████ ██ ███ ████ ██ ████████ ███████

Speaker 1 Summary
Yolanda concludes that joyriding is more dangerous than accessing computers without authorization and manipulating the computer’s data or programs. This is because joyriding physically endangers people, whereas the computer crime only harms property.
Speaker 2 Summary
Arjun concludes that joyriding is not more dangerous than the computer crime. This is because unauthorized use of medical records systems might can causes physical harm to people by potentially damaging hospital data systems.

An issue in dispute between ███████ ███ █████ ██
a
whether joyriding physically █████████ █████ █████
Arjun doesn’t express an opinion. Arjun doesn’t say anything about joyriding or whether it endangers people physically.
b
whether the unauthorized ████████████ ██ ████████ ████ ████████ ██████ ██ ███████ ████████
Arjun doesn’t express an opinion or agrees. He points out that access to records systems could damage data systems. If data systems are property, then Arjun agrees that the computer crime can damage property. If data systems are not property, then he says nothing about property.
c
whether damage to ████████ ████████ ██ ████ ████████ ████ ██████ ██ ████████████ ████████
Neither speaker has an opinion. The dispute is about which crime is more dangerous. Nobody connects the level of danger to what should be more or less criminal.
d
whether the unauthorized ███ ██ █████████ ██ ██ █████████ ██ ██████ ██ ██ █████████
This is a point of disagreement. Yolanda thinks the unauthorized use of computers is not as dangerous to people as is joyriding. Arjun thinks it is, because of the potential of computer access to damage hospital records, which in turn can damage people.
e
whether treating private ████████ ██████████ ██ ████ █ █████████ █████
Yolanda doesn’t express an opinion. She believes a crime that hurts only intellectual property isn’t as dangerous as joyriding. But she’s open to the computer crime being dangerous; just not as dangerous. And, she doesn’t say anything about crimes involving physical property.
