...When you mention Alexander Hamilton, people often automatically think about the negative things he did, such as the highly publicized scandal with Maria Reynolds or how he might have even been called a traitor because he led American politician to create mercantilism after the Revolutionary War. Despite these negatives, Hamilton also had a number of achievements during his political career. Although Hamilton never was the highest member of office, he did a lot more for his country than he is often credited. To start, some of his accomplishments include that he was a member of the Continental Congress, authored more than half of the Federalist Papers, and he was the first secretary of Treasury from 9/11/1789-1/31/1795. The Federalists...

...Guest Speaker Paper The guest speaker, Dean, gave me a lot of knowledge and insight into the event management and convention center business. He is very successful and managed to make his way through the ranks all the way up to a manager position. The OCC, which he works for is one of the largest and most successful convention centers in the nation. The OCC is the second biggest convention center behind Chicago in the United States. The location of central Florida and these huge buildings help OCC be in high demand for events. The Sears Tower would be able to fit lying down inside of the west building. The North/South building is smaller and shaped more like a box but still is large enough to host several events at the same time. Orlando is considered a first tier city. A first tier city is a city that is able to accommodate 30,000 people or more for an event. Other examples of first tier cities are Chicago, Las Vegas, New Orleans, and Atlanta. The OCC is also a nonprofit business. It infuses the local economy with new money and expanding business. According to Dean they have only made a profit on two events the entire time he has worked there. The energy bill alone for a year is nine million dollars, with some of the high traffic months costing one million. Dean went through how he started out as a security guard to the position he is at currently. One of the things he stressed is you will mess up but make sure to learn from your mistakes. He also walked us through many...

...Pursuing Criminal Justice Paper Maria Torres CJA/483 July 28, 2011 Sean Adams Pursuing Criminal Justice Paper Justice to me is that each person is treated fairly no matter the age, gender, and race. No person is above the law who ever commits a crime should be pay the consequences for his or her action. Punishment should be fair and sentencing should depend on the criminal conduct as judged by the law. Justice in law enforcement officers during and off hour should treat individual and offenders with high quality of fairness. Law enforcement officials most enforce a moral ability of high standard, honor, follow guidelines, policy, and mission of the department with the rules of the law. Law enforcement creates various way of administration within the field. Law enforcement officers handle different situation on a daily basis. It is up to the officers to be professional at all times without any personal judgment, biased, and conduct. While in the street officers should be able to control and exercise his or her ability to determine how justice is administered. The way I will promote my definition of justice in my career is by obeying the law, rules, policy, and guidance of the department.

Bettwy Lieutenant Colonel, Judge Advocate, U.S. Army Reserve A paper submitted to the Faculty of the Naval War College in partial satisfaction of the requirements of the Department of Joint Military Operations. The contents of this paper reflect my own personal views and are not necessarily endorsed by the Naval War College or the Department of the Navy. Signature: s/ Samuel W. Bettwy 28 January 2013 _______________________________ John F. Sussilleaux, Professor INTRODUCTION It is generally recognized that future U.S. military operations will be multinational. As the Naval War College instructs: “There is no reason to believe American military forces will ever undertake a major operation alone without some other nations participating.”[i] As the Army states in its field manual on Training for Full Spectrum Operations, leaders must prepare to operate at the tactical level in operations involving multinational forces.[ii] And as Joint Publication 3-16 states, “US forces cannot assume that the predominant language will automatically be English”[iii] in coalition operations. Recognizing that multinational operations are the inevitable way of the future, the Department of Defense (DOD) acknowledges...

...its fierce population; it is governed by ruthless clans competing for dominance. Pete Earley features the inmates in Leavenworth, who have certainly been placed there because they have been convicted of dark and desperate deeds, have been transfigured by their imprisonment into something far darker. The book is an eyewitness account of day-to day life inside the United States penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas the oldest federal prison and one of the most dangerous in the nation. The books major players consist of Carl Bowles, the sexual predator with a talent for murder; Dallas Scott, a gang member who has spent almost thirty of his forty-two years behind bars; Robert Matthews, the warden, who seems to be an essentially decent man in an indecent place; Thomas Silverstein, a sociopath confined in no human contact status since 1933 and career bank robber William Post who finds meaning in caring for the cats who have found a home live inside Leavenworth's walls. The story that these inmates - and their guards - tell of life in Leavenworth is one filled with rituals of violence no less potentially deadly because of their ritualistic quality and an astonishing degree of egotism and self-approval in men who have done terrible things. Prisoners who show signs of rage deserve to be locked in solitary confinement, I believe prisoners need to see what it is really like to suffer for their crimes instead of getting free healthcare and being able to graduate with their GED, committing a...

Parks was arrested, tried, and convicted for disorderly conduct and violating a local ordinance. After word of this incident reached the black community, 50 African- American leaders gathered and organized the Montgomery Bus Boycott to protest the segregation of blacks and whites on public buses.

Ninety percent of African Americans in Montgomery took part in the boycotts, which reduced bus revenue by...

...Introduction I have been afforded the opportunity to serve in two distinctly different organizations. In my full-time vocation, I serve as pastor of Seigle Avenue Presbyterian Church. In my part-time career, I am a military officer serving as a chaplain for the 145th Air National Guard. In this paper, I will discuss and examine the United States military and the standards of ethic and integrity within the organization. Specifically, I will the Air National Guard as a backdrop to determine conclusions, access organizational climate and provide feedback as it relates to ethics and integrity. Later in the paper I will name five steps leaders can consider to prevent, control or minimize destructive behaviors. Further, I will create clear distinctions between organizational compliance and organizational integrity and list elements that must be included to improve the integrity of the organization. Finally, I will share my opinion of my personal ethical stance; cultural relativist or universal ethicist. Upon defending my position, I hope to clarify my ethical stance and support this stance in my leadership as a military chaplain and officer. The United State Air Force In 1997, I was commissioned to serve in the Air Force National Guard in the rank of 1st Lieutenant. I joined the Air Guard because I wanted to serve in ministry beyond the local parish. Additionally, I embraced the core values of the Air Force and wanted the integration of those values in my personal and professional...

...without it the nation would not survive and would crumble. They felt that the Articles of confederation failed the nation as a whole and that America needed a stronger national government. The Federalist had to go against the Anti-Federalist who though the Constitution would only take the power away from the citizens and would eventually lead to a different type of ruling instead of democracy. The Federalist proved this would not happen by showing them the safe guard that were built into the Constitution, like limited government, separation of power, and checks and balances. The Federalist argued that under the Constitution the federal government only had specific powers, then there was the separation of power into three equal branches so one person or group of people could not have too much power thus dispersing the responsibilities. Then there are the checks and balances that are also built into the Constitution in which any branch can veto or over power a law or ruling, this helps with no one area gaining too much power. In New York the Federalist papers went out written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison to try and persuade the people of New York to accept the Constitution and ratify it. Written by Alexander Hamilton in the Federalist Paper number 15, he says “There is nothing absurd or impractical about a league of alliance between independent nations for a defined purposes…” In this case he is talking about the states being independent nations under the Articles...

...have helped to guide the path of women’s rights in the nation? Would women enjoy the same freedoms or would women still be prisoners to the home? Thankfully women don’t need to spend much time contemplating this as we did have strong, powerful women that fought for women’s rights for centuries. Women encouraged other women to fight for equality, fight for freedom, fight for the opportunity to be a strong independent woman in a nation of strong independent men. This paper will discuss several significant events that shaped the future for women in America. Events driven by women that wanted their voices to be heard through a sea of men, women that wanted men to realize that women had a lot to offer this world we live in. The first event this paper will discuss is the American Equal Rights Association started in 1866 by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. This association would shine a light on women’s suffrage in the nation and later inspire a more radical group called The National Woman Suffrage Association. World War I was another event that that the shaped the future for women in America and around the world. Women left their homes to become nurses that would care for wounded soldiers around the world. Another event is the passage of the 19th amendment in 1920. The 19th amendment gave women a voice in elections throughout the country. Their votes would now count alongside the men’s to shape the nation. As years went by the issues women faced did not cease...

...United States Customs and Border Protection Mr. Angelo, Joseph CJ 355 Jonathan Mesngon July 20, 2014 Abstract This paper explores an overview of the mission and the overall organization of the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP). It will also discuss the roles and responsibilities of the organization, its history, and how they support the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This paper will provide you with facts, highlights, and challenges germane to CBP. You will understand how CBP interacts and operates with the intelligence community and the Armed Forces in order to meet up to their responsibilities. U.S. Customs and Border Protection History The origin of Customs and Border Protection can be dated back as early as the mid-1789, when U.S. congress passed the third of three acts that provided for administering customs tariffs and collecting duties. The Tariff Act of July 4, 1789 had also been passed by Congress followed by the Duties on Tonnage statute on July 20. Another landmark in the history of CBP is the establishment of the 1891 Immigration Act, which created the Office of the Superintendent of Immigration in the Treasury Department. The act allowed for the superintendent to have oversight of the new corps of immigrant inspectors stationed at the country’s principal ports of entry (CBP.Gov, 2014). On May 28, 1924, Congress established the Border Patrol as part of the Immigration Bureau in the Department of Labor through the...
