You are an assistant to the Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the Organized Crime Task Force. The SAC has asked you to go over certain witness-related situations that will be testified to in an upcoming trial.

Discussion: Plato and Philosophy

Recent history has shown that the United States certainly has the power (i.e., the “might”) to go into any number of countries and stop human rights abuses, which are occurring in those countries. But having that ability begs the question of how far should the United States go in that role. Are we the world policeman? Are we the world’s peacekeeper? While the United States has unparalleled military power, should we engage without limits?

Based on your readings so far, and thinking about what Plato says in his dialogue with Thrasymachus, discuss the issue of when the ability to do something (the “is”) becomes the right thing to do (or the “ought”). It often helps to think in comparative terms. Think about an example that seems to be similar and use it to explain your points.

Discussion: Aristotle

Imagine you are walking down a dark street one night and suddenly someone jumps out in front of you. He is brandishing a pistol and he says in a menacing voice, “Your money or your life.” From the look on his face, you know he is serious and the pistol in his hand is real.

If you decide to give him your money—your purse or your wallet—what kind of action would this be here? Is this, as Aristotle phrases it, a voluntary or a non-voluntary action? What evidence is there to support your position? Would it matter if he did not have a pistol? Why would this be different?

Discussion: Changing History

Having the advantage of being able to know the past and see its future, offer your thoughts on one of the following questions:

If you had been the leader of the first group of English settlers at Jamestown, what would you have done differently?
If you had been Cortés, what would you have done after arriving at Tenochtitlan?

EACH DISCUSSION IS ONLY A PARAGRAPH PLEASE PUT DISCUSSION TITLE FOR EACH ONE

Create diagrams that show the information capital needed for each leadership level (administration, mid-management, operational management) to monitor the three outcome objectives in your strategic plan for your CST project.
Diagram examples can be found in WORD, Insert tab, SmartArt.
Use one diagram for each objective that demonstrates the 3 levels of management and the type of information for each. This may be the same diagram for each or a different diagram for each.
You will not be able to type much in the diagram itself so you use labels which you will explain in the discussion section of paper.
Write a 1500-word paper (about 6 pages) that includes the diagram and an explanation of the diagram, such as:
How each information element is important for success
Examples of specific information or types of forms
Which department or job position will provide the information
What managers will do with the information
The technology needed to support the monitoring system

1.) What makes rail-based mass transit a target for terrorists?

2.) Is there a cyber-threat to rail-based transit? What may those threats be, and how can they be addressed?

3.) What factors make heavy rail vulnerable to security breaches, and how do those factors contribute to the system’s security?

4.) When studying the Sunset Limited derailment, what security enhancements could have prevented the attack or help in the derailment response?

Module 3 – SLP
KANT, MILL, AND ETHICS
Find a moral problem in your place of employment. Tell me about it. What really bothers you and why? It need not be actually happening. The moral problem could be a potential problem, no matter how likely. Be creative. If you can’t think of a real problem you will likely face, make one up.

Tell me what your position on the problem is, and what the relevant utilitarian and deontological considerations are. Who is being, or will be, hurt? Who is being, or will be, benefited? Why, overall, do you think your position on the issue is for the greatest good over the long haul? Whose rights are involved? Who has special duties?

Here are some possible topics:

Privacy in employment tests
Privacy in genetic tests
Privacy in e-mail—should your boss be allowed to read your e-mail?
Safety issues
Fair employment practices (e.g., pay, hiring/firing, benefits)
Racism
Sexism
Discrimination on any unfair basis
SLP Assignment Expectations
If you can’t think of anything good, well, ask! I’ll help you find something fun and interesting.

Write a paper of at least 2 pages and upload it by the end of this module.

What are the leading-edge measures/metrics of organizational personnel readiness? The focus of the research is for a non-DOD audience.

My expectations:
– full prose with appropriate use of headings/subheadings, bullets, tables, as needed to convey information;
– provide an overview of what’s trending (and where) as well as what are the major themes or “buckets” within which personnel readiness can/should be categorized;
– describe the intent of key readiness measures – form-follows-function, so it is often more important to understand the why behind the what; and
– include footnotes and/or hyperlinks to the underlying reference materials cited/used.

Do not include:
– non-sourced content which others cannot source or review; and
– solely traditional or staid metrics.

Describe the experience of Buddhism by paying attention to the setting, the ritual and activities, the persons involved in the ritual and activities, and anything else you observed. What was your sensory experience? Your spiritual, emotional, and psychological experience? What did you find compelling? What did you find yourself resisting or arguing with? What new concept, idea, or core value did you learn?
Research Buddhism’s religious tradition and compare it to Christianity. What are at least three similarities between them? What are at least three differences? Based on your research, what are the cultural particularities of each religion that might account for these differences?

INSTRUCTIONS
You will write 6 leadership journal entries discussing the various prompts below. While reflecting on the writing prompt, focus on the following main areas. First, write clearly your thoughts as related to the topic. Second, write clearly your reflections on the topic as related to your individual growth as leaders. Use the headings Summary and Reflection to indicate the two areas.

Each journal entry must be 300-450 words. You can write your entries any time throughout the course, but they must all be submitted in one document at the end of the course with a title page and a reference page.

Leadership Journal 1:
Discuss how Nehemiah, as a leader, clarified values for the people and set an example. Based upon this reading as well as literature on the topic of Christian philosophy of education, convey a basic understanding of the elements of an educational philosophy that is based distinctively on a perspective drawn from Judeo-Christian scriptures. Address axiological issues.

Leadership Journal 2:
Analyze the specific leadership actions Nehemiah took to protect his enlisted workers who had bought in to the vision. Draw from this text practical applications to leadership within the field of education.

Leadership Journal 3:
Identify the leadership strategies that Nehemiah used to remove barriers and make things happen. Discuss the implications of a biblical worldview of leadership; include practical applications to the overall field of education

Late papers: None accepted. None. Be sure to read and follow the upload instructions.

Write about a time when you were “persuaded” by a media message to do (or buy or say) something. What was the result? What did you learn?
Consider the event in the context of (at least one) media effects theory discussed in class or from the textbook. Mention the theory and use it correctly, please. (Don’t say “mixed effects,” because that’s the category name for a bunch of theories. Also, no “vaccine/bullet” theory (because it’s not real) – and no “diffusion of innovation” theory, either, because it’s not on the test and because I only used it in the example for this assignment.)
Format:

Write subject-verb sentences in present voice. No sentence more than 15 words, because mass communicators need to be able to write simply as well as adapt to different writing styles for different situations.
New idea? Start a new paragraph. (Much media writing has only one idea per paragraph, and paragraphs are usually no more than three or four sentences. This is different from what you are taught in English classes.)
No lower-case “i” to refer to yourself. It’ll cost you eight points.
Good grammar/spelling/punctuation counts.

The theories
Identify examples of theories under each umbrella:
Direct: the discredited ‘hypodermic needle’ theory.
Limited: two-step flow
Mixed effect: Explanation, followed by agenda-setting, status conferral, gatekeeping, uses and gratifications, parasocial interaction, social learning theory, third-person effect, spiral of silence, cumulative effects, consistency theories, individual differences, cultivation theory.
Write a short essay describing a situation in your life—and what media effects theory best explains the situation.
