What is the nature of the threat and what are you thoughts about the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism?

***ANSWER EACH POST 250 WORDS MIN*** 1) What is the nature of the threat and what are you thoughts about the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism? https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/06/15/fact-sheet-national-strategy-for-countering-domestic-terrorism/ 2 Describe the three thrusts or main points for CVE described in the article by Hadra (2016) titled a how-to on countering violent extremism when it comes to efforts here within North America. Which particular CVE approaches or programs described in the National Counter Terrorism Center “Countering Violent Extremism: A Guide for Practitioners and Analysts” do you think are or will be most effective when employed? ***REPLY TO EACH POST 100 WORDS MIN**1. This week I’ll be addressing the President’s plan for countering domestic terrorism and discussing what the threat is. Domestic terrorism is not a new concept nor is it something that the US was unfamiliar with prior to 9/11, the Boston Marathon Bombing, or the Fort Hood shooting. President Biden has chosen to take a more aggressive stance on domestic terrorism however and his strategy shows that. By providing a doctrine that prescribes the need to better fund, better coordinate, and better address domestic terrorism the President has laid out several pillars that guide this process. In my opinion however, while these pillars describe what needs to be done, I find this National Strategy to be lacking in clearly defined terms of what will actually be done and rather just spells out what these Federal and local law enforcement bureaus need to accomplish. For further guidance from the White House, I’d like to see a plan and a real strategy that provides a path to preventing domestic terrorism and if necessary, combatting it at its source. Domestic terror, however, is purportedly not on the rise, and in a recent paper and in a previous week’s discussion I addressed this facet. The media and government seem to be at a crossroads on whether or not domestic terrorism is increasing. There seems to be some consensus that right wing extremist groups have begun to show more of a proclivity for domestic violence and have been seen in recent years to be present at every major occurrence of civil unrest and even now are causing issues at local demonstrations that are opposite their views. Overall, I expect that in the next 5-10 years the US will see a larger and more prevalent threat by way of domestic groups as opposed to external foreign terror groups.2. The strategy outlined by the White House on domestic terrorism does not seem like it is really adding much. It seems like a reiteration of everything they are already doing with just more money. There are statements such as: “We will work to ensure that law enforcement operates without bias,” “pursuing efforts to ensure domestic terrorists are not employed within our military or law enforcement ranks,” and “The U.S. Government will improve public awareness of federal resources to address concerning or threatening behavior before violence occurs” (Briefing Room 2021). All of these are already a high priority and simply throwing more money at it in hopes things go away will never work. The strategy sounds good, but it seems like simply more fluff to satisfy a narrative that does not seem to be correct. Fusion Centers were supposed to track down domestic terrorists, and they ran out of things to do, so they were repurposed to analyze all crime. The problem of domestic terrorism is over-emphasized and not a problem that garners as much attention as it is given. It would be much more beneficial to shift a lot of those resources to the Southern Border in an attempt to secure the border better. It seems like there are more attempts to create terrorists out of nothing rather than finding and punishing actual terrorists. Take the plot to kidnap Governor Whitmer that was found out to be almost entirely staged by the FBI. “There were at least 12 FBI informants involved in the investigation to thwart the alleged scheme by a militia group known as the ‘Wolverine Watchmen’ — but the agents actually took an active part in it right from its inception, according to court filings” (Moore 2021). If there was a huge threat of domestic terrorism, the FBI would not have to convince a couple of guys to commit or attempt to commit a terrorist act. I could be wrong about this, and if anyone disagrees with me, please respond. I would love to discuss it. However, it seems to me if the situation was that bad, government agencies would not have to coerce people into committing acts of terror. That’s like complaining about your store getting robbed and then paying someone to rob your store to prove your point. 3. Terrorism has become the new norm and is continuously finding alternative means to attract and attack vulnerable people in the digital realm and physically.Today it is becoming important that we step up our capabilities to prepare for, to prevent and to deterrent against possible aggression that is deliberately targeting the U.S. government, our communities, and our infrastructures. According to Hara (2016), “Brookings have hosted several events that were focused on how to counter violent extremism” (p. 1). During these events several individuals from Brookings exploited the underlining issues that led to the rise of al-Qaida and the Islamic State, and to include recommendations on how policy makers should move forward to better counter terrorism.In Dana Hadra’s article, it is recommended that in an effort to achieve balance we should formulate a deterrent force against violent extremists that fully aligned counter-terrorism policies and decisions, define our goals to fix major gaps in communication to be fully aligned with federal, state, and local agencies, improve interagency relationships and find a middle ground for both security and civil liberties that are detrimental to preventing violent actions without compromising our values.Most importantly it was recommended that the use of de-radicalization and rehabilitation programs to be implemented when one may want to disengage themselves from violent associations.Young adults are much more susceptible to becoming sympathizers for a cause and becoming violent extremists. I believe that the younger generation is vulnerable to having access to a magnitude of information and disinformation from the internet and within their social networks. With this being said, it is imperative that our local communities are equipped with awareness of early signs of threats, help disillusioned individuals and work with religious leaders to better understand religious texts.Furthermore, I believe that the Saudi Violent Extremists Rehabilitation Program is an effective program to aid in reeducating and redirecting those that are being radicalized. Saudi Arabian’s program utilizes a five-phrase program that consists with tools that are tailored to prevent, provide rehabilitation, aftercare, monitoring, and other tools to reintegrate these individuals back into society. What stood out to me is that the program helps individuals from having an inaccurate understanding of religious texts and according to CVE Guide the program heavily focuses on ideological and religious reeducations.4. The radicalization process is not always a straight-forward answer and comes down to the individual mindset. The reasons people join extremist groups are complex, multifaceted, and involve unique personal and situational factors. Recruits rarely have a direct answer and choose to alter their stories to avoid their complexity. In the article, A how-to on countering violent extremism, it pointed out the need to build and create trust-based dialogue with communities and implement early intervention programs for communities at risk of engaging in violent extremism. Discussing the reasons which reinforced an individual’s radicalization varies from their particular sociological and psychological influences. Through local partnerships, much insight can be learned to, “better understand violent extremism and its drivers at the international, regional, national, and local levels” (Hadra, 2016).It is important to understand why individuals travel and spread violent extremism in the Middle East from around the world. Regaining the trust of local Sunni communities without a political agenda is vital to rebuilding lost relationships and focusing more on conflict prevention and mitigation will assist in slowing the spread of violent extremism. In order to reduce the vulnerabilities of local communities, these outreaches much tackle weak governments, limited education, and unemployment. Programs should be created and assessed to offer counseling, vocational training, and working with former foreign fighters who have learned the errors of their radicalization.The Singaporean Violent Extremist Rehabilitation Program focuses on reducing social disorder to enhance society integration for religious minorities. It is a public-private partnership between the government and religious population using cognitive treatment, community involvement, and individual rehabilitation. The program uses a multidisciplinary approach to provide a comprehensive agenda and financial provisions to their families. It is interesting to note Singapore only enlists about 30% of detainees into the program as it is understood that not every extremist or associated individuals can be rehabilitated (National, 2014). Built on strong family and aftercare components which focus on countering extremist ideology, the program helps participants to think differently about themselves and others. It provides family counseling, social rehabilitation, religious education, and job placement.

What are the causes of skin cancer?

Using the Pdf attached, refer to page 33-42 and briefly answer the following questions. just about 3 pages 1. What are the causes of skin cancer?2. Why are Caucasians more at risk of skin cancer than other populations?3. At what age does skin cancer typically occur? Is the incidence of skin cancer greater in youth or old age?4. Does the amount of UV light reaching the Earth vary in a predictable manner (Figure 6-3)? If so, describe the pattern you observe.5. What latitude receives the greatest amount of UV light (Figure 6-3)? The least?6. Based on these data (Figure 6-3), where might you expect to find the most lightly pigmented and most darkly pigmented people on the planet? Be as specific as you can.7. Provide a rationale to your answer above (i.e., why did you think that more darkly pigmented people would be found in those areas)?8. Interpret Figure 6-4 and the trend it describes.A. Is skin reflectance randomly distributed throughout the globe? If not, how would you describe the pattern?B. Restate your findings in terms of skin color and UV light (instead of skin reflectance and latitude).C. How closely do these findings match the predictions of your hypothesis (Question 6)?D. Some populations have skin colors that are darker or lighter than predicted based on their loca­tion. Their data point falls somewhere outside of the line shown in (Figure 6-4). What might ex­plain the skin color of these exceptional populations? Propose a few hypotheses.E. Hypothesize why different skin colors have evolved.9. Hypothesize why different skin colors have evolved. Based on what you know, what factor is most likely to exert a selective pressure on skin color?10. Review your answer to Question 3. Keeping your answer in mind, how strong a selective pressure do you expect skin cancer (UV-induced mutations) to exert on reproductive success?11. Based on this information, does your hypothesis about the evolution of skin color (Question 9) seem likely? Why or why not? How does skin color meet, or fail to meet, the three requirements of natural selection outlined above?12. Based on Branda and Eaton’s results (Figure 6-5), what is the apparent effect of UV light exposure on blood folate levels?13. What is the apparent effect of UV light on folate levels in these test tubes? __________________14. How is folate linked to natural selection?15. All other things being equal, which skin tone would you expect to be correlated with higher levels of folate? _________________________________________________________________________16.

What would happen to the reproductive success of:A.light-skinnedperson living in the tropics? _________________________________________B. light-skinned person living in the polar region? _____________________________________C.dark-skinned person living in the tropics? _________________________________________D. dark-skinned person living in the polar region? _____________________________________18. Predict the skin tones expected at different latitudes, taking folate needs into consideration. Use the world map (Figure 6-6) to indicate the skin tone expected at each latitude (shade the areas where populations are darkly pigmented).19. Can folate explain the variation and distribution of light- and dark-skinned individuals around the world?20. How is vitamin D linked to natural selection?21. Which skin tone allows someone to maintain the recommended level of vitamin D? ________________22. Based on this new information, revise your hypothesis to explain the evolution of the variation and distribution of human skin color.23. Taking only vitamin D into consideration, what would happen to the reproductive success of:A. light-skinned person living in the tropics? _________________________________________B. light-skinned person living in the polar region? _____________________________________C. dark-skinned person living in the tropics? _________________________________________D. dark-skinned person living in the polar region? _____________________________________24. Predict the skin tones expected at different latitudes, taking only vitamin D needs into consider­ation. Use the world map (Figure 6-8) to indicate the skin tone expected at each latitude (shade a region to represent pigmented skin in that population).25. Can vitamin D alone explain the current world distribution of skin color? ____________________26. Using principles of natural selection, predict the skin tone expected at different latitudes, taking ul­traviolet exposure, vitamin D, and folate needs into consideration. Use the map (Figure 6-9) to indicate skin tone patterns at different latitudes (shade regions where populations are expected to be darkly pigmented).27. Are UV light, vitamin D and folate needs sufficient to explain the current world distribution of skin color? ___________________________________________________________________________28. How might you explain that Inuits, living at northern latitudes, are relatively dark-skinned (much more so than expected for their latitude)? Propose a hypothesis.29. Conversely, Northern Europeans are slightly lighter-skinned than expected for their latitude. Pro­pose a hypothesis to explain this observation.

Explain as clearly and precisely as you can how that principle leads to a particular conclusion.

This second written assignment is a four-part exercise comprised of the following sections:Ethical QuestionIntroductionExplanation of the Ethical TheoryApplication of the Ethical TheoryFor sections (1) and (2) revise and expand on what you did in the first assignment.Sections (3) and (4) are new.The main purpose of this doc is to define the nature and scope of the ethical theory in a way that shows how the core principle(s) of that theory lead to a specific moral conclusion on your ethical question. Another way to think of this is to explain how someone who is fully committed to the moral reasoning of the ethical theory would answer your ethical question (even if it is not necessarily how you would answer the question).The assignment should be 900 words with clearly labeled sections as indicated below, and include a title page and reference page.Part 1: Ethical QuestionState the ethical question beneath this heading.This question should be on the same topic as the question presented in the week one assignment, and if necessary, revised based on your instructor’s comments and the additional insight and information you have gained from research on the topic. If you would like to switch topics, you should first consult with your instructor.Place your ethical question beneath the Part 1: Ethical Question heading.Part 2: IntroductionProvide an introduction to the topic and question.This should be revised and expanded from the Week 1 Introduction in light of your instructor’s comments and the additional insight and information you have gained from research on the topic.For instance, you may find that your original ideas about the issue have changed and clarified, that the focus of the ethical question has shifted or become more specific, and/or that there are important background and contextual details that need to be explained.The revised introduction should reflect your additional thinking on the scope and significance of the ethical issue, and address any feedback provided by your instructor.The introduction should be at least 300 words in one or two paragraphs.Place the introduction material under the Part 2: Introduction heading.Part 3: Explanation of the Ethical TheoryEthical theories provide accounts of how to reason well about moral questions and of what justifies answers to those questions. In this section of the assignment , you will discuss either the ethical theory of utilitarianism, deontology, or virtue ethics.You should not discuss your topic in this section, but focus only on the ethical theory.The discussion should include the following elements:A brief account of the historical background of the theory and the philosopher(s) associated with it.An explanation of the core moral principle of the theory, or if there is more than one, the principle that you will focus on in applying that theory to your question.A brief, general explanation of how the theory and its core moral principle applies to moral questions, using an example different from the issue that is the main focus of your . (For example, if your focus is on how deontology applies to using animals in medical research, you could explain Kant’s moral theory by discussing how it would apply to an issue like lying for the sake of the greater good.)This section should focus only on the ethical theory. For instance, if you are discussing physician-assisted suicide from a utilitarian perspective, this section should only discuss utilitarianism in general terms; you should not discuss physician-assisted suicide, euthanasia, or other related topics until the next section.The discussion should be around 300 words and must incorporate at least one quote from the required resources on the ethical theory you have chosen to discuss. Required resources include the textbook chapter focused on that theory (3, 4, or 5) or the “Primary Sources” listed at the end of Chapters 3-5.Place this section under the Part 3: Ethical Theory heading.Part 4: Application of the Ethical TheoryNow that you have explained in general terms the core principle of the ethical theory you are focusing on in this , you will apply that theory and its core principle to your ethical question.Explain as clearly and precisely as you can how that principle leads to a particular conclusion.You can think of that conclusion as the answer someone would most likely give to your question if they were reasoning along the utilitarian, deontological, or virtue ethics lines you explained in Part 3.Note: This conclusion does not need to be the same as the position you stated in the Week 1 assignment. In fact, it could be the opposing position you discussed there. See the remarks about main purpose of the above.This section should be around 300 words.Place this section under the Part 4: Application of the Ethical Theory section.In your Doc,Identify the ethical question.Introduce the topic and question.Explain the ethical theory of utilitarianism, deontology, or virtue ethics.Apply the selected ethical theory to the ethical question.The Applying an Ethical Theory

develop a plan to help Alma be compliant with the procedure and post-treatment medication.

Alma Faulkenberger is an 85-year-old female outpatient sitting in the waiting room awaiting an invasive pelvic procedure. The health care professional who will assist in her procedure enters the room and calls “Alma.” There is no reply so the professional retreats to the work area. Fifteen minutes later the professional returns and calls “Alma Frankenberg.” Still no reply, so he leaves again. Another 15 minutes pass and the professional approaches Alma and shouts in her ear, “Are you Alma Frankenberg?” She replies, “No I am not, and I am not deaf either, and when you get my name correct I will answer you.”Using the Topic 1 Resources, develop a plan to help Alma be compliant with the procedure and post-treatment medication. Also, describe the approach you would take to patient education in this case.
