Explain the evolution of Americas counterterrorism policies and the central policy problems

/in /by

Does the US have a post-Cold War international strategy? Describe and explain three central US security interests in the post-Cold War era. What policies have been developed to replace Cold War policies? Is the US acting more as a unilateralist power or a multilateralist power? Why is it leaning in one direction or the other? Is a coherent policy being developed to address these security interests or is security addressed in an ad hoc manner in the post-Cold War era? Why? Was the pre-emptive war in Iraq a one-time event, or is it a pattern that will continue in the future?

2. The phone rings: It’s Donald Trump asking for advice. He would like you to help him develop a response to US concerns about the actions of two of these three countries: Russia, China, and North Korea. Evaluate the responses of previous administrations in the post-Cold War. Provide the President with advice on future potential issues regarding the two countries you are focusing on.. Explain the costs and benefits of the options you propose in terms of political support and opposition at home.

3. The phone rings. It’s Donald again. Now he needs your help on terrorism. Explain the evolution of Americas counterterrorism policies and the central policy problems. Provide him with specific recommendations concerning his future policies. To what extent have those policies been driven by public opinion, bureaucratic politics, and the evaluation of intelligence? Provide a reasoned evaluation of the prospects (positive and negative) for actually stopping terrorism in light of the current situation regarding ISIS.

4. Why did the US go to war in Iraq? Discuss with reference to the use of intelligence, the Pre-Emption Doctrine, bureaucratic politics, expectations regarding the reactions of the Iraqi people, and perceptions of Iraq.

How Aristotle and Mencius would each evaluate the ethics of the action

/in /by

Using the scenario discussed in the article, talk about how Aristotle and Mencius would each evaluate the ethics of the action. For Aristotle, consider the virtues and how it impacts us as human beings to act like that; also whether treating people like that is clearly either compatible with or incompatible with any of the virtues, and why. For Mencius, consider both the 5 relationships and the 4 sprouts of goodness/humanity and their properly developed form. Then briefly evaluate the value of the different theories in helping us see and fully understand the ethical issues in the treatment this woman received.

The importance of communication and confidence

/in /by

I believe we should be teaching students with the most severe disabilities and/or multiple disabilities the importance of communication and confidence. According to Anthony Fredericks, author of " The complete idiot’s guide to: success as a teacher", students with disabilities often have low self-esteem and should be given clear and concise feedback (Fredericks, 2005).

I’ve noticed that when students with disabilities are placed in classrooms with students that don’t have disabilities that they [disabled students] often compare themselves to the other students and feel as if they’re lagging behind. Because of this reason, I think it’s important for them to be taught in a different class from regular students so that their specific needs can be addressed, and they won’t feel compelled to compare themselves.

However, I also believe students without disabilities should definitely be involved in their own way and taught awareness/empathy so that they know how to interact with students with disabilities. In this situation, I believe inclusion is appropriate from a social perspective, not an educational perspective. By this, I mean that students with disabilities should be in separate classrooms, but I also believe that they should be encouraged to interact socially with students without disabilities in extracurricular activities or out-of-school events. As I mentioned previously, if students with disabilities are placed in different classrooms, they won’t feel as much of a desire to compare themselves to non- disabIed students. They can also receive one-on-one attention and guidance without the rest of the class feeling left out. In extracurricular activities and out-of-school events, socialization should be encouraged that way every student’s communication and social skills can be practiced and improved.
