What will be the impact on national resilience with this framework for the National Security Strategy?
The Department of Homeland Security
The Department of Homeland Security offered a unique insight into how this cabinet level agency viewed the issue.
The 2014 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR) was the document to offer this perspective.
The QHSR is an important foundational document in this discussion as it established multiple resilience goals and
objectives in the areas of critical infrastructure, supply chain systems, and cyber. The resilience of all of these areas,
and other sectors covered by the QHSR is a national imperative. Recent threat activities in the cyber sphere
underscores this need. From OPM, and Home Depot, to EQUIFAX and even the Department of Homeland Security itself
have suffered breaches.
DHS specifically noted in the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR):
This second quadrennial review reflects a more focused, collaborative Departmental strategy, planning, and
analytic capability. The risk-informed priorities set forth in this Review will drive operational planning, as well as
analysis of resource and capability options and tradeoffs over the next four years. The Review also recognizes the
responsibility the Department shares with hundreds of thousands of people across the federal, state, local, tribal,
and territorial governments, the private sector, and other nongovernmental organizations, and provides a path
forward for engaging in public-private partnerships. These are the people who regularly interact with the public,
who are responsible for public safety and security, which own and operate our nations critical infrastructure and
services, who perform research and develop technology, and who keep watch, prepare for, and respond to
emerging threats and disasters.
It should come as no surprise that one of the five QHSR missions is devoted to resilience: Mission 5 Strengthening
National Preparedness and Resilience. It should be noted the Congressionally mandated 2018 QHSR was never
released.
But there are even more agencies, within the Department of Homeland Security such as the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, (FEMA) which released the country’s first-ever National Preparedness Goal in 2011. Again,
another foundational document dealing with resilience.

The creation, in 2018, of the DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) assed to the national
resilience effort. According to that agencys web site:
We coordinate security and resilience efforts using trusted partnerships across the private and public sectors and
deliver technical assistance and assessments to federal stakeholders as well as to infrastructure owners and operators
nationwide. CISA (n.d.) also delivers insights on these assessments related to current capabilities to identify gaps,
whichalong with an examination of emerging technologieshelp determine the demand for future capabilities (both
near- and long-term).
CISA has developed Sector Coordinating Councils (SCC) that are, self-organized and self-governed councils that
enable critical infrastructure owners and operators, their trade associations, and other industry representatives to
interact on a wide range of sector-specific strategies, policies, and activities. The SCCs coordinate and collaborate with
sector-specific agencies (SSAs) and related Government Coordinating Councils (GCCs) to address the entire range of
critical infrastructure security and resilience policies and efforts for that sector.
Finally, perhaps the document that is most talked about regarding resilience is President Policy Directives-8 or PDD-8.
Within this PDD a vision is presented for nationwide preparedness and identifies the core capabilities and targets
necessary to achieve preparedness across the following five mission areas: prevention, protection, mitigation,
response and recovery. Recognizing that preparedness is a shared responsibility, Presidential Policy Directive / PPD-8:
National Preparedness was signed by the President on March 30, 2011.
At its core, PPD-8 requires the involvement of everyonenot just the governmentin a systematic effort to keep the
nation safe from harm and resilient when struck by hazards, such as natural disasters, acts of terrorism and
pandemics. When you think about it in the purest sense, isnt that what resilience as an element of Homeland Security
really is?
One other Homeland Security resilience issue that has received a lot of focus from DHS Office of Academic
Engagement or OAE is the new Campus Resilience program. Released in April of 2018 this program which was based
on TableTop Exercises (TTX). This effort is driven by active shooter type events.
This policy directive calls on federal departments and agencies to work with the whole community to develop a
national preparedness goal and a series of frameworks and plans related to reaching the goal.
To help resilience get the kind of academic focus that it should the Department of Homeland Security Science and
Technology Directorate Office of University programs has established two academic centers of excellence. One is at the
University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill) Coastal Resilience Center or CRC and one at the University of Illinois
Champaign-Urbana the Critical Infrastructure Resilience Institute or CIRI. To get an understand of the research that
has done please visit these links:
https://coastalresiliencecenter.unc.edu/
https://ciri.illinois.edu/
Finally, to get a real sense of where the issue of Homeland Security and resilience stands entering 2021 listen to the
speech by Dr. Stephen Flynn, the Founding Director of the Global Resilience Institute at Northeastern University, and
one of Americas true experts on resilience. The link for this closed caption Skype speech from the 2020 Maritime
Risk Symposium provides Dr. Flynns perspective on maritime resilience in the face of growing human-made and
naturally occurring turbulence.
As you consider this issue keep in mind that the new Administration has issued Interim National Security Strategic
Guidance. Noted the Congressional Research Service:
In drafting national security strategies, every administration faces central questions about how the U.S.
government should define and advance national security. The Biden Administration argues that the COVID-19
pandemic and other systemic issues, including (but not limited to) climate change and the rise of anti-democratic
authoritarian populism, are forcing the United States to take an expansive view of what constitutes matters of
national security. In so doing, the INSSG articulates some continuity with the Trump Administration in identifying
the challenge that strategic competition with China poses to U.S. national security. (Congressional Research
Service)
What will be the impact on national resilience with this framework for the National Security Strategy? This is what the
Congressional Research Service noted:
How might Interagency Resources be Rebalanced? Since 2001, the Department of Defense (DOD) and U.S.
military have taken on missions beyond traditional warfighting responsibilities (including, but not limited to,
providing more security assistance and assisting with international disease responses). The State Department,
the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the U.S. Trade Representative, and other agencies
provide critical national security capabilities, but possess narrower authorities and command fewer budgetary and
personnel resources.
How does national resilience get impacted or does it? Is there a direct connection between the NSS and national
resilience?

FORMAL ANALYSIS PAPER LEARNING OBJECTIVE: the goal of a formal analysis
is to explain how the formal elements of a work of art affect the representation of the
subject matter and expressive content. The emphasis should be on analyzing the
formal elementsnot interpreting the artwork.
A formal analysis includes an analysis of the forms appearing in the work you have
chosen. These forms give the work its expression, message, or meaning. A formal
analysis assumes a work of art is (1) a constructed object (2) that has been created with
a stable meaning (even though it might not be clear to the viewer) (3) that can be
ascertained by studying the relationships between the elements of the work.
To aid in writing a formal analysis, you should think as if you were describing the work of
art to someone who has never seen it before. When your reader finishes reading your
analysis, they should have a complete mental picture of what the work looks like. Yet,
the formal analysis is more than just a description of the work. It should also include a
thesis statement that reflects your conclusions about the work. The thesis statement
may, in general, answer a question like these: What do I think is the meaning of this
work? What is the message that this work or artist sends to the viewer? What is this
work all about? The thesis statement is an important element of the analysis that sets it
apart from being a merely descriptive paper.
Choose a country within a trading block and Submit a marketing country report on your country of choice.
First, Choose a country within a trading block and Submit a marketing country report on your country of choice.It can be any country you are interested in, that you would like to travel to, or conduct business in. The choice of foreign country will not be graded (there are no wrong options) but try to avoid your own country, or a country in which you are near-native. On the other hand, it may help later on if you know someone from this country but this is not required.
For this assignment, you must Submit a marketing country report on your country of choice. This country report will be informed by your own research on the country itself. Keep also in mind the trade block it belongs to, because that will be useful for the Economics section.
The structure recommended is to have separate sections for Demographics, Economic and Cultural facts. In total, it should be a short (approx. 2 single-spaced pages) bullet-point report of facts, one or two visuals are welcome if relevant.
At the end, summarize the main points in the form of a PEST Analysis table. As a reminder, here you will list uncontrollable factors important to the success of any foreign business in that country.
The challenge of this assignment is in summarizing an entire human community and reducing it to a considerably short list of sentences, numbers and visuals. You will be graded on how comprehensive but concise your report is, how marketing-relevant and insightful your data is, and how much the report demonstrates effort put into researching and understanding the foreign culture.

The conventional medicine (MD) has some big differences between the naturopathic medicine (NMD). MD usually views stress as something that will go away with time. An NMD will try to get to the bottom of why the stress is there, and have the patient change some of their lifestyle aspects to decrease the stress (What is naturopathy? – ntpagestv 2010). MD will usually view things from more of a modern medical standpoint, and include some sort of treatment involving medicine in the pharmaceutical form. NMD focuses more on balance and diet. NMD is the least invasive form of treatment, is more cost effective, and is more tailored to each patient (Sandford, 2022). Common healing techniques for Naturopathic offices usually entail message, dieting, getting sunlight, being outside, and more (What is naturopathy? – ntpagestv 2010).
Struggles that the Naturopathic profession has faced since it began in the early 1900s include the increased focus on technology and pharmaceuticals. The development of drugs such as anti-inflammatories bring quick and effective relief to patients, which became favored over naturopathic ways (History of naturopathic medicine, n.d.). With the increased popularity of drugs and technology there became a decrease in self responsibility. The alleviation of disease and illness became most important, rather than the underlying cause of disease (History of naturopathic medicine, n.d.).

How does the escalation of domestic violence during COVID-10 exemplify the concept of the continuum of violence? I
Week 4 GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE AND THE CONTINUUM OF VIOLENCE
Globally, one in three women will experience gender-based violence (GBV) at the hands of an intimate partner. Data shows that since the outbreak of COVID-19, GBV in the form of domestic violence, particularly targeted against women and girls, has escalated. In fact, domestic violence has been so pervasive during the pandemic that the UN has called it a shadow pandemic (UN, 2021).
Question #3. How does the escalation of domestic violence during COVID-10 exemplify the concept of the continuum of violence? In answering this question address: how women and girls have experienced GBV pre-conflict (pre-pandemic), conflict (during the pandemic) and how do you think women and girls might fare post-conflict (post-pandemic) as things get back to normal based on the status of women currently in society, e.g. whether you think levels of domestic violence will decrease as women and girls are able to spend more time outside of the home and the stress of the pandemic subsides.
WEEK #6 INTEGRATING A GENDER PERSPECTIVE-GENDER MAINSTREAMING AND GENDER ANALYSIS
A gender perspective is defined as a way of assessing gender-based differences of women and men reflected in their social roles and interactions, in the distribution of power and access to resources (NATO, 2012). We will expand on that definition to include all genders, plus intersecting factors such as those mentioned previously such as race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, ageism, ability, income level or religious affiliation
In integrating a gender perspective, gender mainstreaming is a policy strategy which considers both women’s and men’s interests and concerns. A gender analysis is an important aspect of gender mainstreaming as a systematic methodology for examining the differences in roles and norms for women and men, girls and boys; the different levels of power they hold; their differing needs, constraints, and opportunities; and the impact of these differences in their lives.
Question #5. In applying a gender perspective, what were the impacts on different genders during the 2005 tsunami in Indonesia? In answering this question, address the following: the capacities and vulnerabilities of women and men prior to and after the disaster; how women and men were affected and responded differently to the tsunami and to what extent; the different roles women and men played in ensuring the survival of themselves, their families and communities in the face of disaster; the different resources (economic, financial, physical, natural, other assets) and information that were available to women and men at the time of the disaster.
