Homeland Security

Answer 3 questions with essay style answers

? Each essay response should be 500-750 words of text in length (excluding bibliography at the end).
? Use APA format (double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font, one inch margins, double space between paragraphs,

Content
? No title page or abstract is required.
? Introduction: Begin the essay with an introductory paragraph. The introduction should contain sufficient background information to establish the basis of the response, and leads to a thesis statement that clearly states a significant and compelling position.
? Main body of the essay: The body of the essay response should contain main points directly related to the thesis. Critically analyze and assess why the topic is important, and what it means for homeland security considerations now and in the future for public policy makers and the society in general. You can do comparisons between policies, systems, agencies, and responses. Also you may compare past issues related to current situation and to the future, etc. The intention is to make sure you select and analyze a topic and causes you to think critically about homeland security issues.
o Evaluate the significance, potential impacts, and the ramifications of the issue at hand. Provide supporting examples that are concrete and sufficiently detailed.
o State your opinion- together with experts’ opinions, relate it to reference materials and provide reasons. You may solicit the opinions of experts in the field, but make sure to refer to written material (scholarly — peer-reviewed journals and books — see the link below) in order to support your thesis. Do not use non-authoritative sources such as Wikipedia.
? Conclusion: End the answer with a meaningful conclusion section. Do not repeat what you’ve already described in the main body of the paper.
o Make sure there is a nice conceptual and logical flow between your introduction, development and conclusion as well as across your paragraphs.
o Essay format requires that you do not present a collection of random thoughts. Analytic thinking and writing is essential. No matter how accurate or compelling they are on their own, if you do not knit your ideas together tightly through a coherent connective tissue, it will cost you points.
o Use paragraphs when you introduce and develop a new idea or concept. Also use short concise sentences instead of convoluted long sentences.
o Respond to all parts of the question before proceeding to the next question.
o Proofread and edit the replies for substance, clarity, completeness, organization, coherence, sentence structure, grammar and spelling. Your paper should be free of grammatical errors and spelling mistakes.
o Be sure that you provide sufficient in-text citations to sources and that the in-text citations and the ones listed in references are the same. Both should adhere to the required APA (6th ed.) format.

Question # 5: Cyber Security
In a recent book (?Cyber War: The Next Threat to National Security and What To Do About It?, Ecco, 2010) Richard Clarke, the former National Security Council coordinator for counter-terrorism and cyber issues, and his co-author Robert Knake say that defensive and policy weaknesses make the U.S. highly vulnerable to attack on our critical infrastructures, especially the cyber infrastructure. They argue that one of our major weaknesses is that the government is focused on protecting its own systems, but no one is really in charge of protecting the nation?s overall critical infrastructures from a determined enemy attack. Assuming that they are right, what should we do about it? Should we create a strong government agency with power to order sweeping changes in cyber-security even if this adds costs and limits innovation by the private sector? Should we provide tax incentives for those who adopt government-approved measures? Should we rely on persuasion and private sector self-interest? Are there other options available and if so, what are they?

Subsidized Food Programs and Nutrition

THIS IS REGARDING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. ALL INFORMATION IN THE ESSAY SHOULD BE RELEVANT TO THE USA.

This is my topic: The topic I would like to research is food stamps, vouchers and other subsidized food programs, and their impact on nutrition. There are a variety of programs, and it’s always interested me how some programs strictly specify what can be purchased, while others are a free-for-all as long as it is not already prepared, hot meal.

Professor’s response: Approved, but be sure and focus on issue of political economy. That is, who are the persons/organizations that bear the the burdens and benefits of these programs, and who are the power players in this policy arena.

The purpose of the research paper is to allow the student to demonstrate the ability to integrate class concepts and models in the analysis of some current political economy issue and present them in a graduate level paper appropriate to a course taught in a College of Professional Studies. This means use of excellent grammar and proper citation of all source materials.

You are expected to utilize the conceptual framework developed in this class to analyze an area of public policy which is of interest to you. Therefore, the paper should link to, and explicitly reflect, the conceptual framework developed in class readings and discussion forums. This is important, and papers which do not reflect the conceptual framework found within the class readings and discussion forums will be penalized. (In other words, develop your analysis of some current political-economy issue using the language and models discussed in the course, thus providing evidence of mastery of the concepts.)

Most often, students do correctly cite the sources for directly quoted materials used in a manuscript. However, one particularly difficult plagiarism issue for students typically occurs when they paraphrase material taken from other sources. When you paraphase material from another source, YOU MUST GIVE THE SOURCE OF THAT INFORMATION by properly citing the reference in the body of your paper and including the source in the reference list as required. Note that this includes information taken from technical documents produced by government agencies or other reports. Information from personal communications should also be cited in the body of the paper but not included in the reference list.

Properly citing and referencing source materials is doubly important for social science research since not only must credit be given to the original author, practitioners and other users of your technical writing may need to locate the source document or informant for additional research. It is best to err on the conservative side (within reason, more citations rather than less) when writing a social science research paper. In general, I would expect at least one source citation in each paragraph of a master’s level research paper except for the abstract and the conclusions sections. If material is paraphrased from more than one author in a paragraph, these, too, should be properly cited. See the link above for more details. Papers that do not cite material properly in the body of the paper will be returned ungraded for revision or receive deeply discounted grades, at the discretion of the instructor.

Another problem occurs for many of our students when they are writing social science research papers that relate to experience they have personally had in current or past employment. Generally, writers of research papers should either cite external sources (reports, studies, manuals, etc) or if such is not the source, at least explain that the special knowledge reported arises from personal experience on the job, if that is the case. Unless you are doing original research (participant observation, surveys, data collection, etc.) which you are not for this class, the information had to come from somewhere, and the reader should know that source.
