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.

write an 800-1200-word essay that critically examines the content and message of the film Spotlight.
Spotlight Critical Analysis Essay (30 points)
Youll write an 800-1200-word essay that critically examines the content and message of
the film Spotlight. Youll deliver your essay to the Key Assignments folder on Blackboard.
Keep in mind that a critical analysis is not a movie review. Whats the difference?
A critical analysis is more complex than a movie review. A critical analysis interprets and evaluates
the content of a film, its place in history and its probable effect on viewers. A movie review
documents the reception of the film at the time of its release and places more emphasis on
recommendation than analysis.
A critical analysis essay 1) makes a clear claim (states a thesis), and 2) supports that claim with
evidence. In this case, evidence would include scene descriptions and quotes from the film, facts
or research about the film, or facts and research about the era in which the film takes place or was
made. In the process of making the claim and supporting the claim, the analysis should describe
the film/characters.
Dont go overboard on the description part of this equation. I dont want a scene-by-scene narrative
of the events that take place in the movie. Your description of events, characters, etc. should be
efficient and in service to the analysis. In other words, dont spend two or three paragraphs telling
me what the film is about, then offer one or two paragraphs of analysis. Instead, open with a bold
claim, then get down to business supporting that claim with elements from the film. Or, open with
an attention-grabbing quick description of a key moment (of key dialogue) in the film, then state
your claim, then get down to business supporting that claim.
How should you get started?
Watch the film. Take notes while you watch it. Think about these questions as you watch the film
the first time:
Whats the film about? Whats the overall story arc?
Whats the journalistic goal of the main character/s?
How does this film reflect the purpose and values of accountability journalism or community
journalism?
What journalistic challenges do the main character/s encounter? These could be reporting
challenges, ethical dilemmas or other challenges and obstacles.
How does the main character/s deal with these obstacles/challenges?
What could journalists learn from this situation to do the same, better or differently?
How does the film portray journalism/journalists? In other words, when a movie-goer
watches this film, what perception of journalism/journalists are they left with?
What themes or symbols run throughout the film?
What is the films message? What does it say about the characters, society, history?
You cant write about all the things in the list above in a short 800-1200-word paper. So, now you
must select a focus for your paper. That focus becomes your claim, which sets the course for your
paper.
Whats a claim?
A claim is essentially a thesis. It billboards what your paper is about; it takes a position other people
may dispute; it offers a way to interpret the film. Here are some examples of claims about various
films/TV shows:
All the Presidents Men taps into the lived experiences and ethical values of reporters Carl
Bernstein and Bob Woodwards Watergate investigation and offers an early vision of what
contemporary journalisms ethical standards and practices would become.
Almost Famous isnt just a love letter to rock and roll, its the story of a young journalist
finding his professions ethical boundaries by sometimes crossing the line.
Its not enough to be right; everyone else must be wrong. Thats what distinguishes the selfrighteous
from the righteous, and thats what fuels the first episode of HBOs The
Newsroom.
Need some more direction for this assignment?
Here are a few potential claims a writer could make about the movie Spotlight. You are welcome to
borrow or edit one of these claims for your paper.
Spotlight makes a strong argument for the necessity of methodical investigative journalism
while also exposing the way community and individual biography shape the reporting
process.
By meticulously re-presenting the journalists investigative process, Spotlight demonstrates
how a professional press gives voice to the powerless and holds the powerful accountable.
Spotlight makes a formidable statement about the power of a free press, but it also exposes
the culpability of a news organization when it misses or buries a story, and it demonstrates
the power of the press to set agendas in the media.
I have an idea for a claim, now what?
At this point, its probably a good idea to watch the film a second time. This time, look for evidence
quotes, scenes, key moments, historical context to support your claim. All of the claims written
above can be supported by describing scenes and dialogue from the film and pulling a little
research about the current state of the news media and/or current ethical practices in journalism.
What writing style should I use?
You may write in very short newsy style paragraphs. Or, you may write in a more traditional
essay-style with longer paragraphs this is the style most of you are accustomed to. Whatever you
choose, please avoid purple prose. Purple prose is flowery language decorated with lots of adverbs
and extra words that dont move the reader forward. The goal is not to impress your readers with
extra words; your goal is to communicate your points with clarity and efficiency. Leverage your
verbs to paint a picture! Verbs paint active images in a readers minds eye. Verbs help show, not
just tell.

provide a detailed analysis of : Chinas recent trade retaliation
As with most other nations, Australia has evolved its trade policies over its history. Australias
tyranny of distance and reliance on maritime trade have always been a constraint upon the level of
trade conducted, but its vast resources have made it a major exporter of raw materials and agricultural
products. Free trade has been and will continue to be, a key driver of the countrys economic success.
Despite an increase in anti-globalisation sentiment over the past 5 years, Australia has continued to
seek friendly trade arrangements with willing parties. This has not always been smooth sailing.
You are required to provide a detailed analysis of :
Chinas recent trade retaliation
Your analysis should include:
a brief historical summary of the issue
the current state of affairs
impacted industries and countries
a recommended course of action for the Australian government and other policymakers.
Your analysis needs to include research and referencing. You should have around five to ten references
in Swinburne Harvard style. Only peer-reviewed references such as journal articles, government
reports, business reports, and reputed media sources are acceptable. You can include graphs, tables
and imagery in your slide presentation.
Presentation resources
Your presentation should include approximately 10 slides plus a reference list and appendix if
required
