Discuss the ways that virtue ethics is in tension with Kantianism, Utilitarianism, and pluralism.

2. Would it be possible to create a productive dialogue between Eastern and Western ethical philosophy? What major points of similarity as well as points of difference would you select to focus on for such a discussion? Use the information you’ve learned to construct an answer that will balance both difference and similarity1. Discuss the ways that virtue ethics is in tension with Kantianism, Utilitarianism, and pluralism. In other words, I want you to consider the ways that virtue ethics is compatible with these moral theories, but I also want you to describe ways that it is contrary to these theories. Should we still think of ethics as a matter of virtue or not?

compromise and cooperation is possible (across and between perspectives) given the items of disagreement/agreement? What areas might compromise be more likely?  Less Likely? Why or why not?

Each of the 4 chapters on the Contending Perspectives of Political Economy include a section on the “Principles of …” and Respective Political Economic Theory “Today” For your assignment and for each of the four chapters, you will expand on one of the theoretical approaches discussed under “Today”. You did the annotated bibliography so you have the sources. For each of the four approaches, discuss the theory in detail and how it fits and/or deviates from the “Principles” of the respective political economic theory. It should also discuss policies from one or two areas that are advocated by this contemporary approach to the respective political economic theory. Use the same policy areas for all 4 perspectives. You should not discuss the history, context, or biographies of any of the people involved. If you feel the need to do so, it should go in a footnote (or three). So, as should be evident, the assignment will include 4 main sections, which you did your annotated bibliographies for, along with a brief introduction and conclusion. The introduction should include a thesis or research question relevant to the 4 political economic theories and to the analysis (see below). It is also important that the assignment not just read as four separate sections, so it is necessary to make sure there are good transitions throughout each section but also from section to section. After the 4 perspectives you will include a detailed analysis section where you will compare and contrast the four approaches-not just concerning the assumptions but most importantly about the reform proposals/policies that you discussed for each perspective and the possibility of people of these perspectives being able to work together in the policy arena. You will highlight where is there agreement among/between the approaches (be specific) and where is there disagreement? The thesis should be related to whether (in the political and policy arenas) compromise and cooperation is possible (across and between perspectives) given the items of disagreement/agreement? What areas might compromise be more likely? Less Likely? Why or why not? The last section is a conclusion to the assignment.The assignment will include a title page and a reference page(Important: the average length of the assignment in previous classes has been 8-10 pages)

describe the overall concepts of homeland security and homeland defense.

Assignment InstructionsDrawing upon resource material (U.S. National Security Strategies and policies) and that discovered while conducting your own research, students are to develop a research paper of at least 5 full pages (not including title page and reference list) to provide scholarly responses on the following two topics (both must be addressed): Topic 1: Fully describe the overall concepts of homeland security and homeland defense. Construct a response that provides the following related to both homeland security and homeland defense:· Primary missions, tasks, responsibilities, operations, etc. for:o Homeland Security ando Homeland Defense. · Highlight those areas that are shared between the two (what overlaps between HLS and HLD?)· Lastly, recommend a definition for homeland security.Topic 2: Using the overarching themes of the National Security Strategy from 2017, provide your own recommendation for new National Strategy for Counterterrorism (it must be nested under the NSS according to the principle of strategic hierarchy). What key elements and focus areas would you suggest for the part of a new CT strategy that is domestic focused (homeland security, not overseas), and make sure to use the Ends, Ways, and Means strategy framework. Note: Your 5 page paper should be constructed with 1/2 a page for introducing your research paper and your combined thesis, spend 2 whole pages on each of the two above topics, then 1/2 page at the end for your conclusions.· Note: You should be aware of the fact that “homeland security” is made up of much more than just DHS. That agency is only one part of a larger Homeland Security Enterprise that includes [DHS] Departmental leaders and components [the 7 field agencies including USCG, CBP, ICE, USSS, etc], state, local, tribal, territorial and private sector partners and other… https://www.dhs.gov/strengthening-homeland-security-enterprise. Also remember there are many other essential federal agencies that play a role in HLS, such as the very important DOJ where the FBI is the lead agency for countering terrorism in the US (not DHS).Make sure you read the instructions carefully and that you focus your paper on answering the assigned questions. This assignment is a research paper, not an opinion paper, so you need to use scholarly sources to support your thesis. Use formal academic writing and do not use the first person such as ‘I’ or ‘my’; see the OWL site on academic writing style (using appropriate language). Make sure you use APA style in-text parenthetical citations at the end of every sentence where you are quoting another’s ideas (or any information) that is not your own thoughts and words, like this (Bergen, 2015, para 14). Citations are required for paraphrases as well, but not the page or paragraph number in that case. I highly recommend you use the APUS writing guide which can be found in the university library or at this link: APUS Style Guide for APA. You are welcome to use supplementary sources to compliment the assigned readings based upon your research, but make sure you use only scholarly and credible sources (do not use open websites and you never want to use Wikipedia for a college level paper). Also, dictionaries and encyclopedias as well as general news sites (like CNN) are not appropriate for college level research papers. A good example of what NOT to use is NSA.Gov1.info (which some students have tried to use in research papers), not only is it not the NSA webpage, the site loaded with bogus information and if you scroll down to the bottom it says “This is a parody of nsa.gov and has not been approved, endorsed, or authorized by the National Security Agency or by any other U.S. Government agency.” Also, do not cite the weekly lessons as those are only basic information to start off the topic with. You need to use mainly scholarly and reputable academic books and journal articles.Requirements:– Written according to the APA style and format (parenthetical in-text citation formats only; not end notes or footnotes);– Use Times New Roman 12 point font;– 1 inch margins on all sides with no paragraph indentation other than the first line by .5 inches – Double space all text (no extra lines or spaces after a paragraph or section headings and no added font sizes or lines either) – A respectable number of credible resources used, cited in the paper as in-text citations, and included on the reference page. A good rule of thumb is at least 2 scholarly sourcesper page of content (a minimum of 2 new scholarly sources per page in a research paper is acceptable). Use those academic and credible sources provided to you throughout the course, as well as other scholarly material obtained from conducting your own research. Freely utilize appropriate and reputable academic sources, summarize in your own words (paraphrase) and cite accordingly.– The paper must be free of typographical, spelling and grammatical errors (make sure to proof read before submission)– Turn your paper in as a Word Document and title your assignment Finally, be mindful of excessive direct quotes as the paper should not contain just a string of quotations from sources. “Quotes cannot make up more than 10% of the text of your assignment.” So paraphrase where you can and provide your own analysis and synthesis of your research (use direct quotes only when necessary to support your thesis). The bottom line for academic integrity is to write an original work for this assignment (not copied from anywhere on the internet or recycled content from your own previous papers) and to properly cite your references. See the syllabus tab within this course for more important information on academic integrity and the repercussions of plagiarism. Turnitin plagiarism checking software will be used on all papers (automatically).

What constitutes an appropriate role for the judiciary?

What constitutes an appropriate role for the judiciary? Some people argue that courts have become too powerful and that judges legislate from the bench. What does it mean for a court to be activist? What does it mean for a court to show judicial restraint? Although conservatives have long complained about the activism of liberal justices and judges, in recent years liberals have pointed out that conservative judges and justices are now more likely to overturn precedents and question the power of elected institutions of government. Conservatives counter by saying they are simply returning to an older precedent that had been ignored by liberals. If both liberals and conservatives engage in judicial activism, what is the role of the concept of “activism” (perhaps judicial activism is just a term used to describe a court decision you disagree with)?
