The reasons why education is so important in the emergency management field

For your final assignment for the course, you will complete a research paper on a topic of your choice related to emergency management. Start by reviewing the course concepts and determining your topic of choice. Below are some topics you might consider (you are not limited to those included below): ? Disaster preparation and planning at the local and national levels ? The transition of the emergency management field ? The reasons why education is so important in the emergency management field ? The responsibilities on the emergency manager during the disaster life cycle ? The possible disasters that could happen in your community and how to prepare for them ? The myths of disasters For your research, you may either use the Waldorf Online Library of an Internet search of reliable sources (avoid sites such as Wikipedia). You are required to use at least two outside sources, and one source can be your textbook. Remember that all sources cited in-text, including your textbook, must be included on your reference list. Your paper itself should be at least three pages in length excluding the title and r

How did the poll or article misrepresent the facts? How might you rewrite the title of the article more accurately?

This week you will look at misleading information that you are exposed to every day. Find an example of a survey or poll or even a tweet that you think might be misleading.How would you support your conclusions? You want to use statistical reasoning here not personal opinion. Places to look might be online polls where anyone can answer. If the title of a survey is misleading, how would you correct it?Was the sample representative? Be sure to read the methodology of a survey and not only the responses to the questions. For example, you may think the sampling was not representative of the population, but you have to discuss how sampling was actually done to support your claim. Another place to look are articles written by people who clearly don’t understand statistics but use legitimate data like the example below.The title of the article, New Low of 49% in U.S. Say Death Penalty Applied Fairly (https://news.gallup.com/poll/243794/new-low-say-death-penalty-applied-fairly.aspx (Links to an external site.)), is misleading because 49% is the point estimate. You have to click on survey methods at the bottom to find the margin of error was 4%. This means the true percentage in the population could have been as low as 45% but as high as 53%. Therefore the title of the article is very misleading. After locating your inaccurate poll or article, respond to the following questions.How did the poll or article misrepresent the facts? How might you rewrite the title of the article more accurately?What was the author trying to get you to think? Why? What could be the ramifications of believing false information?Find and describe an article that refutes this information, if possible.Have you ever been sent articles that you believed just by reading the title? What was the result?Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

Has the media portrayal and general public perception of these Acts been accurate?

The USA Patriot Act came about after 9/11. The Act remains in use today with some slight modifications. On the other hand, FISA has been in use since the mid-1970s. Both Acts are highly controversial and are foreign to the average citizen. National security always requires a balancing act between freedom and security. As the saying goes, freedom is not free.In a well-written paper, describe the primary elements and/or components of the USA Patriot Act and FISA and research how the media has conveyed the main messages and elements of both acts. Has the media portrayal and general public perception of these Acts been accurate? Based on what you have learned about both acts, were your prior knowledge or perceptions about these two acts accurate? Explain your findings. Finally, discuss if you believe we are more secure with these acts in place. When answering this portion of the assignment consider how many (or how few) terror attacks we have had on U.S. soil since 9/11. Support your position with evidence.Your paper should be 3-4 pages in length and formatted to CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements. Cite at least three credible outside sources for support. The CSU-Global Library is a great place to find these sources. Please note that more sources will enhance the quality of your response and provide a better understanding from which to make you arguments or points. You may cite the textbook as well.

Given the measures that the Chinese government has taken on censoring information on the internet and social media, do you think that Chinese citizens will eventually find their around the censorship?

Respond to the post by reading the article used on the post and then answer the question made. If you don’t agree with your any part of your classmate’s post, create a counterargument and offer evidence to support your opinion. Post The article argues that the Chinese government’s internet censorship is due to the fear of the spread of collective social movement which would be damaging to the Party. Even though Chinese Internet is praised, behind the praises as the article states are “thongs of specialized police officers, fate commentators and ever-changing technologies” (Hvistendahl, 2014). The Chinese government uses strategies to censor certain subject that deemed threatening to the regime. Meanwhile non-threatening or inferior posts are left untouched. To test the extent to which the Chinese government censors information a team of social scientist began to examine Chinese censorship. To test this, the researcher downloaded social media post from more than 1300 site over a period of seven months. Ove time, they watched as the Chinese government took down the posts. As the article suggests, the researcher found that the post that they “themselves” assume or classify as sensitive were only slightly more likely than average to be deleted 24 % versus 13 % overall. This was a surprise since the Chinese government had a different standard of censorship. The next category that the researchers examined were posted that pertained to significant events. The finding as the article articulates was that regardless of whether the post supported or criticized the state, they were censored. The researcher took a step further to have a better understanding of Chinese censorship. Thus, over a period of 3 weeks, they opened 200 user accounts, 100 sites and authored 120 unique posts. These posts varied from the subject such as collective action, demonstration and government land grabs in Fujian, (Hvistendahl, 2014). These posts were not exclusively antigovernment; they were a mixture of both pro and anti-government.The results were astounding. The researcher found that the post advocating for collective action were 20 to 40 percent more likely to be censored. whereas, post that criticized the government and even called out officials by their specific name was a less likely to be censored. This finding further emphasizes what we have discussed through this semester. The Chinese government, whether at the national level or local level views stability as it’s their main priority especially in maintaining the CCP regime. Obvious, collective action or social movement posts are censored because it could essentially result in the takedown of the CCP regimes as it has been the case in authoritarian regimes in Egypt and Tunisia. Conclusively, the Chinese government fears a strong civil society because it would mean that it would have to be held accountable. Question: Given the measures that the Chinese government has taken on censoring information on the internet and social media, do you think that Chinese citizens will eventually find their around the censorship?

Response to Question 3 in Assignment 1: Leadership StylesIt is imperative to note that communities are dynamic or evolving. This justifies the effectiveness of visionary leadership style in public leadership. By applying the visionary leadership style, a public leader will become outstanding as s/he transforms the vision into a reality (Northouse, (2018). It should however be realized that this transformation occurs through action and involving a team to concert both skills and effort. For example, the City manager has visualized the Academy as an institution meant to produce world class public leaders who can perform. He has therefore picked me as part of the team that is going to develop and implement the project. Undeniably, this is a good example of a public leader who with a visionary leadership style has picked a formidable team led by me. Importantly, a public leader using the visionary leadership style is able to determine the skills that will help in reaching the visions. Therefore, by recognizing talent and recruiting individuals with skills sets required and the ones that complement each other the vision is easily reached (Jian, & Fairhurst, 2017). Notably, with the City manager’s skills, mine and those of my subordinates a sufficient pool of skills is developed to attain the vision’s goals. Finally, the democratic leadership style characterizing public leaders is effective because it incorporates aspects of fairness, and open communication. The leader involves all stakeholders making his or her leadership role experience little or no frictions thus success. A good example of this style in public leadership is when a public leader like the City manager in my local government allows the community as well as stakeholders to air their views in regards to the development and implementation of the new one million dollar Public Leadership Academy. Evidentially, the City manager as a public leader is noted in this example to be involving all stakeholders in a participative approach in relation to the Academy. In conclusion, it can be seen that communication also moves either way upward and downward from the City manager to stakeholders or from the stakeholders to the city manager a major characteristic of the democratic leadership style expected of a public leader.
