...Adjusting to Terrorism Paper Introduction Terrorism is a fear that we face day to day, and it’s all around the world. Every country has some type of problem with terrorism, whether it’s a training camp in their country or an actually terrorism act. It’s a reality that we live with today, many people think that with causing pain and suffering to others that it would make other people believe in their believes. But it doesn’t work that way, sometimes people do get scared but more then all it makes them angry and makes them want to fight back. According to an article by Prevent.com and it states that “Combating terrorism is no easy task and it is something that cannot be done overnight. It will be a long struggle that could be quite dangerous. One of the first things to do is to find out all of the methods that these terrorists use and understand their strategies. How do they attack us? In what ways have they been most successful? If we can find out all of the ways they may attack, it will be much easier to set up defenses and stop them before they harm any innocent people” (Tobias, 2014) this makes a great point for us, we need to find out how these terrorism have been successful in the past, and make a plan to block their resources that help them with attacks. One idea that could work would be to place a hold on any individual that wants to get a visa to come into the United States or anyone who wants to become an U.S. Citizen. Basically put a red flag on their profile...

There are domestic of United States and International terrorism that is premeditated politically motivated. A terrorist who creates a small-scale nuclear explosion will take the world to a completely different territory from the horror of September 11, 2011 (Peak, 2010). The domestic terrorism has been difficult for the U.S. to adjust because the security and liberty should manage an image of balance. Balancing the liberties against the security the real diminution in liberty may affect some people more than others (Meisels, 2003). The wake of 9-11 between security and liberty that advocates would “striking a new balance” between liberty and security post to 9-11 (Wulf, 2003). Criminal justice agencies made some changes to improve the security within the U.S. The USA Patriot Act was enacted after 9-11 attack. The USA Patriot act gave the government an opportunity to investigate Americans without establishing probable cause for “intelligence purpose,” and to conduct searches with reasonable believe if the national security is threaten (Peak, 2010).

What this does is help supply a treatment until our teams of researchers can come...

...“Wahhabism” and “Wahhabis” are names, often used and given to the doctrine and followers of Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab, who, annoyed by practices which he claimed were bordering on kufr, launched a campaign to purify the Islamic faith. Many have compared the Wahhabi campaign to Islamic reformation and revivalist movements in various parts of the Muslim world. Muhammad Abd al-Wahhab was the founder and first modern Islamic fundamentalist and extremists allied to the Al-Saud clan who promoted an extreme version of Salafism which is a term used to describe fundamentalist islamic thought and the jihadist movement or ideology amond Salafi Muslims (Global, 2014). Wahhab made the central point of his reform movement the principle that absolutely every idea added to Islam after the third century of the Mulsim era was false and should be eliminated. Muslims, in order to be true Muslims, must adhere solely and strictly to the original beliefs set forth by Muhammad. The reason for this extremist stance, and the focus of Wahhab's reform efforts, was a number of popular practices which he believed represented a regression to pre-Islamic polytheism. These included praying to saints, making pilgrimages to tombs and special mosques, venerating trees, caves, and stones, and using votive and sacrificial offerings. These are all practices commonly and traditionally associated with religions, but they were unacceptable to Wahhab. Contemporary secular behaviors are even more anathema...

...groups being driven by ideology. The independent variables that were found were ideology that was found in the groups and the business nature seen in the groups. The research that was conducted for the most part was determined by the topic and the question being asked. In the question being sought to explain, the determination between the two groups is being defined as well as the ability for the two to elicit a working relationship with one another. The case studies that were reviewed and information that was discovered in terms of the question seeks to answer it. There were difficulties in researching the topic, as good majority of research by academia has not covered this topic in a great breadth. In this the issue was overcame by adjusting the type of case studies that were being reviewed as well as the wording of the question. The variables remained consistent through the research process and no special considerations had to be made in order to finish the research. Findings and Analysis Through the research many similarities were discovered with the two groups, drug cartels and terror groups. With the groups both using fear tactics to assist in the illicit activities, the level of criminal involvement shows a great deal of interchangeability in their actions. Both groups can have a level of sophistication with organized crime. What associates them both with organized crime is the networks that are maintained in order to sustain the income that they require for continued...

...He said “soft power arises in large part from our value”, which could be “antithetical to the score values of another country or culture. The imposition of one country’s value to another is known as ‘Cultural imperialism’”. (Kaufman) This could be one of the reason why the United States is the primary target of terrorism. In response to the 1996 suicide bombing of an Air Force housing, the Defense Department issues an report noted that “'historical data show a strong correlation between U.S. involvement in international situations and an increase in terrorist attacks against the United States.” (Atran). The United States has always maintained a unilaterally strategy towards terrorism. In State of the Union Address 2015, President Obama said “We will continue ... to hunt down terrorists and dismantle their networks, and we reserve the right to act unilaterally, as we have done relentlessly since I took office, to take out terrorists who pose a direct threat to us and our allies.” Also, there are the “We Don’t Negotiate with Terrorists” mantra and the U.S. ransom...

The paper evaluates, identifies and assesses recent future and current trends affecting the criminal justice system. Lastly, it defines the values of the system in a changing society. Recent trends affecting the criminal justice system are related to gender and racial barriers. According to Roslyn Muraskin and Albert R. Roberts (2009 ), assessments of statuses of women and minorities in police work shows that there are obstacles in official and informal structures of police work organizations related to gender and race. Regardless of assessment studies, which show that women are effective patrol officers, organizational principles of law enforcement has repelled the combination of women into patrol officers for more than 20 years. There are three kinds of organizational resistance to slowing down staffing and preservation of female patrol officers. The first organizational resistance is called Technical Resistance. Technical Resistance comprises of failure to adjust police uniforms, gear, and tools sufficiently for women, and constant issues on physical testing, and firearms during their drills, and preperations. The second organizational resistance is named Political and Cultural Resistance. According to Roslyn Muraskin...

...Boeing Management Planning Paper Marcia Davis MGT/330 January 12, 2011 Sylvester Taylor Boeing Management Planning Paper Boeing like many successful companies today does not stand still or rest on their laurels of previous accomplishments. If they do they can become vulnerable to competition, technology, changes in customer preferences, and the business environment. Instead, they use their current successes to continue to build a competitive advantage for the future, constantly seeking new ways to remain flexible, innovative, efficient, and responsive to their customers. One of the most important ways of accomplishing this is to make sure that their organization structures and systems remain adaptable. A business must always be prepared to meet the complex and ever-changing challenges that managers and their organizations constantly confront. Boeing like many other companies has to use innovations in design and manufacturing as well as a focus on quality and other vital factors in the development of airplanes. Not long ago Boeing was in turmoil in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorists attacks. (Bateman & Snell 2009) Boeing suffered turnover in their executive ranks that caused uncertainty coupled with their chief rival European-based Airbus surpassing them in annual sales, Boeing decided it was time to make some changes.

...The challenges facing the Intelligence Community (IC) in modern day consists of two types: those specific to the mission and those practically complex. Both types must be considered when seeking to improve intelligence analysis.1 The IC is adjusting from the Cold War era to the different difficulties of the 21st century. This shift requires moving from one core “target” to many diverse targets, from threats to national survival to threats to specific U.S. targets, and from demands for general information.2 Additionally, protecting the rights of Americans is a “core facet of our information sharing efforts.” 3 While we must enthusiastically protect the United States from the real threat of terrorist attacks, we must just as enthusiastically protect the information privacy rights and other legal rights of Americans. 4 Further, with planning the IC can have both enhanced privacy protections and increased information sharing. “The President reaffirmed this in his December 16, 2005, Memorandum to the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies.”5 At the direction of the President, the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence...

...Contemporary Issues in Western Religions Contemporary: Current, modern, popular, progressive, present-day, fashionable, and up-to-date. Can this definition apply to a religion that is more than 2000 years old? Christianity struggles within its own religious borders to be contemporary and remain relevant in today’s ever changing landscape of religions and beliefs. The question must be asked regarding when is too much. How far can the Christian faith push its borders without losing its core and traditional meanings and foundations? The appeal of the Christian religion has to compete with the social world in which it exists. The traditional Christian is viewed by many as stagnant, stiff, and out-dated. The youth today need to be challenged mentally and spiritually to stimulate their interest in a religion that can be interpreted as boring and seen as a relic of their parents and grandparents. To explore how Christianity as a religion can grow, one must first explore its past and past struggles to include those with Judaism and Islam. According to a book entitled the first Christians, attention is drawn to archaeological discoveries and modern social science scholars that have sharpened their focus on that first generation of Christians. It has shown early Christians saw themselves not as founders of a new religion but as reformers of Judaism. They did not want to abandon Judaism, but to rejuvenate it. The early Christian message was not a uniform creed; it changed in important...

...Question 1 Using this case and the cultural dimensions explored in this chapter, discuss some of the way in which Australian and New Zealand are members of cultures very different from any other in Asia. Differences in the behavior of individuals and groups within an organisation in foreign subsidiaries can be a result of differences in societal or sociocultural variables of culture such as religion and language. These variables affect cultural dimensions. Which in turn affect an individual’s motivation and expectations in the work place. The predominant religion in Indonesia is Islam, while Australia is considered to be Mixed Christian and New Zealand Roman Catholic (Deresky 2014). Companies operating in Muslim countries or that have a large Muslim workforce are expected to make provisions for pray time and religious commitments such as Ramadan. In Australia and New Zealand Christianity employees typically have a number of day off during religious holidays, and the respect for people not wanting to work on Sundays (Deresky 2014). The official language in Indonesia is Bahasa Indonesia (Riza 2008), and in Australia and it is English (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2011) The GLOBE project investigates how cultural variables are related to organizational practices. GLOBE dimension scores of Australia and Indonesia are as follows. Assertiveness: Australia 4.28 Indonesia 3.86 Future orientation: Australia 4.09 Indonesia 3.86 Performance orientation: Australia 4.36 Indonesia...

...in particular by unfolding the paradoxes entailed to whittle a credible conclusion. It attempts to explore contradictions of democracy whether democracy is a best system of governance? Is true democracy possible? Has it to be moral in character? Why other systems of governance tend to challenge the basic fabrics of democracy? Why democracy has turned out to be more productive than other forms of government? Then focus shifts to paradoxes entailed in self evident truth of American democracy. Is American democracy a representative of a true democracy? Does it cater the smaller factions of society? Has the democratic system fostered the rights of liberty, justice, life and pursuit of happiness to good effect for masses once challenged by terrorism, racism, poverty and recession? What good it has brought to its people? Why does America deserve to lead world community? Finally, conclusion is inquired about by addressing the question that How American dream can be pursued in its true democratic meaning? Isn’t it strange that few render democracy as the bludgeoning of the people, by the people, for the people? On the other hand, for some, it is a government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people; a government after the principles of eternal justice, the unchanging law of God; the idea of freedom. Idea of democracy as rule of people traces its expression from Athens in ancient Greek. From a philosophical stand point doctrines of natural law evolved into the...

...| Rastafarians & Muslims | Critical Analysis | | Jedaila Astwood | 9/18/2013 | There are many things that stand out in the world as we have come to know today. As time changes so do the world, our societies are now modern and complex. These societies have majority and minority groups of people. A minority group can be defining as the physical appearance and cultural practices that are different from those of a dominant group. Very often unequal treatment is bestowed upon the minority groups. There are a number of minority groups for example; racial, ethnic, gender, age, sexuality, people with disabilities and religious minorities. In this essay, I will discuss the similarities and differences between the Rastafarians and Muslims, and their struggle of assimilation and dominance. “Islam is the proper name to use when referring to the religion practiced by Muslims. It is an Arabic word that means two things: to surrender your will to God and to acquire peace in your soul. The legitimacy of using this word comes from the Muslim Holy Book, the Qur’an; and it is the only name Muslims use to refer to their religion” (Emerick, 2002). Research by Emerick (2002) states the five pillars of Islam are; Shahadah declaring allegiance to God, Salat daily prayer, Zakat annual charity, Saum month-long fasting, Hajj the pilgrimage to Mecca. According to Muslims, in order to become a Muslim you must believe and practice the five pillars of Islam. Arguably, the central theme...
