What are the primary motivations behind international terror organizations that continue to plan to or actively strike against Western nations? Explain.

ON TIME, PLEASE NO PLIAGARISM AND APA STYLE!Reading Assignment:CRS Issue Statement on Organized Crime and Gangs in the U.S.Foreign Terrorist Organizations 8/10/2010Prostitution as a Possible Funding Mechanism for TerrorismThe purpose of this assignment is to explore the horizon of America’s terrorism threat portfolio. Your assignment is not to merely identify and list organizations and movements that may engage in terrorist activities against the U.S. but also to demonstrate a deeper understanding, based upon research you conduct, of their history and their motivations. Based upon the research questions below, you are to write an analysis of 1,000–1,250 words that addresses the current and future foreign-borne terrorism threat portfolio of the United States. Include in your discussion an assessment of possible solution sets and techniques, based upon your analysis of the terrorist organizations you identify as the most threatening. While forecasting future events is an inexact science, a professional intelligence analyst bases their conclusions on solid facts and sound principals of analysis. It is extremely important that you do the same in this assignment.Assignment GuidelinesAddress the following in an analysis document of 1,000–1,250 words:What are the primary motivations behind international terror organizations that continue to plan to or actively strike against Western nations? Explain. Have these motivations changed over the past several decades? Have they changed since September 11, 2001? Explain.Are the motivations realistic and achievable? Why or why not?How would you characterize the level of threat to the United States posed by international terrorists? Explain.Based on your research, do you feel that the threat is increasing or decreasing? Why?What are the 3 primary terrorist organizations or movements that you believe pose the greatest threat to the United States? Why?Should the United States engage in an active dialogue with terrorist organizations in an effort to seek a peaceful solution? Why or why not?In what domains does the most effective solution for countering the terrorist challenge exist? Consider the following:National defense (e.g., armed military conflict)National security (e.g., intelligence and secret operations)International diplomacy (e.g., the United Nations; regional nation-state organization support; and negotiating with nonstate organizations, including providing them with legitimacy)Homeland security (e.g., securing the nation’s borders and domestic investigations)Consider what the lack of a successful terrorist strike against the continental United States (CONUS) since 9/11 means to the current and near-term (5-year or less) threat horizon. Have overseas operations successfully countered the foreign-born terrorism threat? Explain.Have robust domestic HS efforts deterred terror groups and individuals from trying? Why or why not?Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.

Briefly describe a nudging field experiment design focused on encouraging more self-employed taxpayers to file their estimated taxes. Consider both coercive and nudge style mechanisms to accomplish this, with an aim to demonstrate the effectiveness of the methods.

Field experiments have been used to test the effectiveness of policy “nudges”—attempts by government to align desirable social behavior with individual incentives in policy areas ranging from retirement planning to tax compliance. Both the Democratic administration of President Obama and the Conservative government of David Cameron in the U.K. have supported this type of research. For your Discussion this week, choose one of the two scenarios provided and complete the corresponding prompts.Scenario 1: Affordable Care ActAssume that the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a landmark healthcare reform act passed by the United States Government in 2012, is still in the process of full implementation. Prior to its passage, earlier versions originally proposed the provision of medical care free of charge to the U.S. population. Suppose that you have been asked to evaluate the potential effects of the ACA nationwide. There are two key issues to consider. One issue has to do with how much more medical care people would use if it could be offered free of charge. The second issue has to do with what effect the medical care would have on the health of the average person. Assume you have 3–5 years to conduct the evaluation.Post a response to the following:Assuming no financial restraint, briefly outline what method(s) you would suggest using for assessing the impact of free coverage on usage of medical services and on health outcomes. Use a randomized field experimental design, a cost benefit/effectiveness quantitative evaluation design, or both, and explain your choice.Scenario 2: NudgingPost a response to the following:Briefly describe a nudging field experiment design focused on encouraging more self-employed taxpayers to file their estimated taxes.

How have online environments and technological growth impacted how society communicates on both personal and professional levels? Be sure to provide specific examples of both.

CompetencyThis competency will allow you to demonstrate your ability to evaluate the evolution of language within online and digital forums due to advances and changes in technology. Student Success CriteriaView the grading rubric for this deliverable by selecting the “This item is graded with a rubric” link, which is located in the Details & Information pane.InstructionsYou have recently started working for a local department store in the Operations Department. You have always had a passion for communication and technology, and at your new store, you quickly realize that their methods of communication and their technological resources are outdated. You have worked retail for many years and over time have realized that there are many gaps and differences in the way that people communicate and the forms of technology that they are comfortable with. This applies to both your customers and your colleagues.Because you feel that this is an area of expertise for you, you approach your supervisor and begin a discussion about communication changes and gaps in communication in conjunction with the technological changes that have happened over the last several decades. You and your supervisor discuss the best ways for your store to understand various communication methods and the gaps that exist in communication among your consumers and colleagues.You volunteer to put together a written summary of broad spectrum changes in technology and the resulting changes in communication methods and gaps in communication. Your supervisor loves this idea. He does ask, however, that the information be presented in the form of a pamphlet or written statement that can be both presented to staff and handed out by Human Resources as a training tool for employee relations.You are encouraged to provide as many examples of changes to communication methods that you can come up with. Also consider many different gaps in communication such as generational differences, differences in socioeconomic status, the region the people live in, interest in technology, setting in which you are communicating in (personal versus professional), etc. After considering these issues, your supervisor would like you to present some ideas as to how your store can bridge communication gaps between colleagues and with your customers.For this written summary, you are to reflect upon and address the following information:Consider various methods of communication, types of technology that can assist in communication, and other factors involving technology that may impact or change communication.Consider several factors that impact access to communication in society. Some possible are socioeconomic status, access to technological resources, generational differences, differences in intellect, etc.How have online environments and technological growth impacted how society communicates on both personal and professional levels? Be sure to provide specific examples of both.How do changes in methods of communication create communication gaps in our society?What are some ways that society can bridge communication gaps that happen as a result of technological growth?
