What are CRTs most important insights and principles?
Jacob Forman and Mohammed Shafia both murdered their families. The media coverage of the murders is the
subject matter of this assignment, which has two parts. First, students will explain what Critical Race Theory
(CRT) is. What are CRTs most important insights and principles? What purposes does CRT serve? Clearly, there
is no expectation that students will (or can) discuss every CRT principle in their assignments. Focus on those
principles that are most relevant to the assignment at hand and make sure that you explain the principles that you
raise. Do not simply list them.
Second, having provided a synopsis of CRT, students will assess the stories of the Forman and Shafia murders using
a CRT lens. Are there similarities between the two stories? Are they depicted similarly in media accounts? Are they
treated similarly in the legal realm? What does a CRT lens have to show us?

The efficacy of Police Body Worn Camera (BWC) programs—Are the costs associated with BWC programs worth the actual benefit
What is your topic?
The efficacy of Police Body Worn Camera (BWC) programs—Are the costs associated with BWC programs worth the actual benefit.
What is your stance on the topic?
BWC programs have become a vital instrument in the law enforcement communitys effort to increase public trust through transparency. BWC programs, however, are very expensive to implement and maintain. How is officer behavior impacted by the usage of body worn cameras?
Why do you [think] this? State your reasons in a because clause.
Because officers actions will be recorded and captured, misconduct and complaints should decrease dramatically. The cost-benefit factor of the programs should be worth the alternative of municipalities being subject to various litigations.
Now why would someone disagree with this? Use an although clause to state this opposing opinion.
Although, much misconduct is a matter of perception and can be addressed through report review and policy interpretation, body worn cameras provide a much-needed layer of transparency in relation to a growing need for law enforcement accountability for officers actions.
Although clause+Stance on topic+Because clause=Complete thesis statement (may need to be revised or simplified)
Although, there may be individual benefits as a result of BWC programs, BWC programs may significantly impact municipal budgets by the expensive costs of equipment, data storage, and records retention/retrieval. Because of the rise of public mistrust, BWC programs may offer a solution to the perception that police misconduct is commonplace throughout the law enforcement community. That solution, however, may come with a heavy premium.
Do you believe that children learn from their experience and that project-based learning enhances that experience? YES

Grading Rubric
What skills, knowledge or behaviors do you possess that would uniquely qualify you to train in the desired opportunity or opportunities?
I am applying for the following Army Traditional Strategic Broadening Seminars. Answer the three questions below.
Seminar descriptions.
Seminar Title: United Kingdom Defense Academy – UK Intermediate Command and Staff Course (Land) (ICSC (L) a 6 week, Masters Level residential, generalist career course run at the UK Defense Academy. It provides training and education for all Army and Royal Marine majors across a range of subjects from Staff and Communication Skills; Command Leadership and Management; Global Effects on Defense; Higher Management of Defense Equipment Capability and Operations (including Land Warfare, Doctrine and Military Planning Processes). Delivered by UK military instructors and academics from Kings College London via central lectures, syndicate room discussion and time dedicated to self-reflection and study.
Seminar Title: Dense Urban Studies – Two-week program based at Fort Hamilton and other locations in New York City, helps participants understand the complex makeup and critical issues of operating in dense urban areas and megacities. As the trend of the worlds population continues to become increasingly concentrated into dense urban areas and megacities, the importance of understanding them is a critical component of global security and preparing for the futures uncertainties, including humanitarian assistance and disaster relief scenarios. The IDB DUS Strategic Broadening Seminar is an educational and experiential learning opportunity for students to explore and understand the critical infrastructures and urban geography and flow of cities, the technological and physical connectivity of city networks, and the culture and behavior of people and their environment. Learning takes place both in the classroom and through.
Seminar Title: National Security and Global Challenges – The McConnell Centers Strategic Broadening Seminar is held at the University of Louisville in the City-Center, and a Washington DC Portion has now been added. This national security course gets participants up close and personal with the national security process in Washington while immersing themselves in the challenges unfolding in the Asia Pacific region. Guest faculty come from all over the United States and past classes have met with top members of Congress, local political leaders, and Fortune 500 corporate leaders. It all unfolds within an intellectual umbrella provided by an immersion into the great tradition of political philosophy and constitutional government in America. The capstone experience is provided in small team assignments and a briefing for high-level national security leadership.
Course Description: Indiana University: Cyber Risk Management – Basic cybersecurity literacy is becoming increasingly vital. Cyber attackers, ranging from hacktivists to organized crime networks and even nation states, are targeting vulnerable networks and are frequently successful in stealing funds, breaching critical infrastructure, as well as valuable intellectual property. There is a growing call from the White House, Congress, and industry groups to put in place cybersecurity best practices to better manage the multifaceted cyber threat facing the private sector. However, it is not always clear what those practices should be, or how to implement them in a dynamic, global regulatory environment. This program hosted by the Institute for Defense and Business in partnership with Indiana Universitys Kelley School of Business is a spin-off of the IU-IDB Strategic Studies Program (2015 2018 SBS) and is designed to introduce participants to the multifaceted strategic cyber risks facing the United States with a special focus on harnessing the benefits, while mitigating the risks, of emerging technologies in the national security context from a non- military lens.
Course Description: IB2 Information Operations – In this program designed for high-potential Officers in information operations and related areas, you will be presented the fundamentals of strategic communication, the cultures of the industries that utilize it, and the technologies for securing its infrastructure. Leveraging from a variety of non-military perspectives presented from leaders in the private sector and academia on topics from big data and the internet of things, to understanding and changing behavior, you will return to your organization with a broad set of best practices for direct application.
Great Power Competition INDOPACOM – In a period of global uncertainty against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ability of (rising military) leaders to critically assess the key strategic and competitive challenges for the U.S. and its international partners in the Indo-Pacific region remains of paramount importance to U.S. national security. This course will focus on potential geographic flashpoints (e.g. Taiwan, the South China Sea, the Korean peninsula, and India) and thematic challenges including cyber warfare, information operations, and other tools of unrestricted warfare. It is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the strategic environment of the Indo-Pacific and enhance their policy development skills, and to provide the tools necessary to lead in the Indo-Pacific region.

Which CEOJobs or Cookdo you think developed and executed the most effective strategic plan?
Steve Jobs was a strong, charismatic leader who co-founded Apple and is credited with much of the success of the company. Some believe that Tim Cook, who became CEO in 2011, embraces a more collaborative leadership style. Do research to compare and contrast the leadership styles of the two CEOs.
