Is America’s overseas military strategy important to homeland security efforts and is it possible that the “Market Civilization” is an answer to the “Clash of Civilizations?”



The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 radically changed America’s national security paradigm. Globalization created an opportunity for Islamic extremists to train overseas, and then take advantage of globally integrated networks for commercial travel between nations. Terrorists, training in failed states such as Afghanistan, could travel to abroad to strike a targeted nation with relative ease. The Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) utilized American military forces to destroy overseas terrorist operational capabilities.
After almost ten years of combat operations, especially in Afghanistan, Al Qaeda and the Taliban still remain elusive targets. Due to the longevity of the GWOT, it seems appropriate to consider the effectiveness of America’s overseas military strategy. In the article, A Strategy of Tactics: Population-centric COIN and the Army, Gian P. Gentile suggests that winning the “hearts and minds” is not a viable military strategy. Essentially, it has been argued, that the primary purpose of having a military is to destroy the enemy. However, Population-centric counterinsurgency (COIN) is the overarching doctrine for combat operations. Military activities such as nation building and civil affairs should not be a substitute for kinetic warfare. Gentile suggests this reconfiguration of military strategy has the potential to dilute the conventional fighting capabilities of the American military. CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!
If America’s military strategy shifts away from focusing on conventional fighting skills, to a more nuanced nation building approach, could this impact America’s domestic security? Consider why overseas military strategy could impact homeland security.
Michael Mousseau suggests that only by changing the values and beliefs of those that support terror will terroristic behavior begin to change. The article disagrees with a purely rational or cultural approach, asserting that it is not comprehensive enough in confronting terrorism. The author offers an explanation for the relationship between economic conditions and values and beliefs.
Mousseau suggests that countries which adopt a clientalist economy and not a market-based economy will develop very different values and beliefs. The clientalist economy will be more relationship based, where a market economy is more contract based. The market economy is based on the rule of law, and reinforces trust. The clientalist economy is reliant upon relationships; therefore, one is less likely to trust individuals with whom they do not have a relationship (out-groups).CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!

Summary
The Global War on Terror (GWOT) is a national effort, with different elements both overseas and domestic. State and local public safety organizations will require an understanding of the dynamics surrounding global security strategy, and how those strategies may affect state and local public safety. The student should consider how overseas military strategy may affect their respective public safety agencies and disciplines. As the United States and the international community attempt to navigate international terrorism, it is beneficial for public safety agencies to understand how macro level homeland security concepts may have a micro level impact. The student should consider how this hypothesis may influence and affect their respective public safety agencies and disciplines.
Assignments
Each week two (2) five-question True and False quizzes and one discussion question is presented for each lesson. Additionally, please familiarize yourself with the instructions on how the quiz is administered.
Discussion questions will be graded on the quality of analysis brought to the topic (research and authoritative sources such as journals, etc. are required to support your position). Posts should well written, and encourage further dialog. Learning is often enhanced when we professionally challenge one another academically. Don’t take these challenges personally. Understand, use of Wikipedia and other non-academic sources results in an automatic zero for reference use.CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!
Supporting evidence is required when making a claim (i.e. statement); so that the evidence and not the person is being challenged. Answers such as: “I agree” (without justification) will be given less points. If you make a claim you need to support it with evidence. The discussion questions are not a homeland security blog. The instructor’s are not as concerned with your opinions as they are with the process you use to formulate and defend your position.
Discussion Rules
At a minimum, discussion questions are 400 words excluding references. Students must use in-text citations from their listed references to support their argument; simply listing sources at the end is not reference use CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!

LO3 – Critically review and analyse the application of strategic HRM models, theories and approaches in practice
The Assignment Task: (3500 words)
In a report from 2006, Tansley et al wrote:
“Talent management requires HR professionals and their clients to understand how they define talent, who they regard as ‘the talented’ and what their typical background might be. It also requires thinking about whether such recruits should be seen as particularly gifted. Talent can be considered as a complex amalgam of employees’ skills, knowledge, cognitive ability and potential. Employees’ values and work preferences are also of major importance. How these are all identified and measured is a challenging task, and a number of issues arise.” (Tansley et al, 2006 p 2).
They then went on to identify a number of key questions surrounding talent management. Using your organisation – or one with which you are familiar – address at least 4 of their questions and provide a critical discussion and some reasoned response. The questions they asked were:CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!

CASE (Intake Report):


Lona is a married 35-year-old mother of one child (age 5). She has been married for ten years. At the onset of their marriage, Lona and her husband enjoyed their budding careers and great income. They drove the cars they liked, lived in the home they liked, and bought the material goods and services they liked. For most of the marriage, Lona has been the primary breadwinner (although both make six figures).
Lona became pregnant with their first child after five years of marriage. She was a doting mother of a very healthy baby girl. Her focus shifted from her career, but she tried to the best of her ability to be a jack of all trades. She was a great mother, housewife, and professional.
Soon, however, Lona became exhausted from her pace. She did not eat as well as before. She did not sleep as well as before (largely because she attempted to do all of her work while the baby was in bed). She found herself making a tremendous to-do list each day that never seemed to get done.
Lona arranged her schedule so that she did not need a babysitter. She mothered during the day and worked long into the night to meet the needs of her household. She endured this schedule for four years almost flawlessly. However, she became irritable, sickly, and seemingly “wilted.” She continued to dote on her child, but her marriage suffered. She was too tired for intimacy and resented her husband for daring to state that he was tired. He seldom helped around the house, and their daughter was so attached to Lona that she could not be soothed by her father for long periods of time.
Lona became sullen and very tired. Her allergies returned after a ten-year hiatus. She stopped doing the things she enjoyed and began to do whatever she could to simply stay awake. She decided to quit her high-paying job to work for a lesser salary at home. She stated repeatedly that it was her husband’s turn to pick up the slack.
Lona only spoke to her sister and mother of her anger, resentment, and fatigue. She discontinued exercise due to her inability to get up in the morning early enough to go jogging. This has left her twenty pounds heavier than before.
Lona states upon meeting you that she feels she is going downhill and needs some help to figure out a solution to her problems. She is very cooperative and willing to work hard to feel better for the sake of her child. Lona has not ever been in therapy before, but several of her friends have found it beneficial and enlightening.
Lona’s aim is to keep her family intact and work on her problems to feel better.

Part IV: Preliminary Diagnosis (40 points)
DSM 5 requires clinicians to provide both categorical and dimensional information as part of a proper diagnosis. Categorical information refers to the name of the category (disorder) indicated by the client’s symptoms. Dimensional information is a rating of how severe a client’s symptoms are and how dysfunctional the client is across various dimensions of personality. (Comer, 2014, p. 85)
In addition to the other guidelines in question #1 below, be sure to address the following in Part IV: Preliminary Diagnosis section of your paper:CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!
Categorical Information
Decide which one(s) the many psychological disorders in the DSM that Lona is displaying. (Hint: Consider the most frequently diagnosed disorders and consult research related to comorbity if there is another diagnosis that you want to “rule out” or further assess.)
Dimensional Information
Assess the current severity of the client’s disorder. In other words, to what extent do Lona’s symptoms appear to impair her overall functioning? According to Comer (2014), “the framers of the DSM 5 have suggested various rating scales that may prove useful for evaluating the severity of the particular disorder(s).” (p.86). Given the current textbook does not include severity rating information, you are encouraged to use descriptors like: no-impairment, mild, moderate, severe etc. to describe her overall functioning/diagnosis.
Additional Information
Provide useful information that relates to your diagnosis or diagnoses. For instance, you might include information about psychosocial, environmental or occupational challenge or concern that Lona that might contribute to her diagnosis (categorical information) and severity of the diagnosis or diagnoses (dimensional information).CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!
