...of “ISIS.” ISIS is a merciless schism derived from the well known terrorist group Al-Qaeda whose main goal is to tear down the current structure of middle eastern states in order construct a unified Islamic state exclusively consisting of muslims and only muslims, more specifically, Sunni Muslims (Chris Tognotti). ISIS, as stated before, is an extremist group off of Al-Queda, so it is not hard to guess that their methods are not exactly “orthodox”;...

...of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria ISIS aka Islamic State of Iraq and Syria was created in 2006 by Abu Ayyub al-Masri and started out as an al-Qaeda splinter cell group. They are the most brutal terrorist organization alive today. According to the Jerusalem report3, a letter was discovered from the compound where Osama Bin Laden stated that ISIS was even too brutal for him and kicked them out of al-Qaeda. He stated, “ISIS's blatant disregard for civilian life was likely to damage the reputation of al-Qaida should the groups remain associated” (JPOST Staff). I also believe that if Islamic State of Iraq and Syria is not wiped out, it will become a threat to the world because wherever they go, they kill, kidnap, extort money, and behead...

...Sotloff, the violent and terrorist group, ISIS, posted the videos of the beheadings online to rapidly spread fear. After organizing airstrikes in Iraq and Syria for the last 3 months, the American goal of completely degrading and destroying ISIS is far from being achieved as ISIS forces keep claiming innocent lives. ISIS is still highly determined to respond with cruel terrorism to the airstrikes. Since ISIS gained influence and attacked multiple towns in Syria and Iraq, the ISIS issue has involved world politics and more people, including other Muslims who have united to fight against the Islamic State. According to Al Jazeera, the United States and various sources have claimed that the most recent killings of Syrian military officers included an American aid worker named Peter Kassig. Once again, ISIS beheaded the victims, filmed the atrocious acts, and posted the videos on the Internet. The Islamic messages of terror create more disturbances as they attack foreign aid workers and media journalists from all over the world. Kassig was a Muslim raised in Indiana. Obama ultimately called the act “pure evil” this week. The article raises doubt if the airstrikes are being...

...The aim of this study is to demonstrate, using a theoretical model, how a company should address the concept of Total Quality Management in order to reach business excellence and customer satisfaction. Nowadays, economists confront with a large amount of factors that make the existence of a company in the market much more difficult. In today’s competitive marketing environment, organizations try all possible efforts to promote their brand, to attract customer’s attention and to determine them to effect purchase decisions. As a whole this paper offers a framework of management quality coupled with information technology that together enable a company to increase productivity, in order to attract the customer’s attention and to encourage the buying behavior. Process change has become the main concern of today’s companies, and applying the right strategy in order to achieve change has become more and more important. The following research will highlight how TQM strategy together with information technology have been implemented in the L’Oreal company, and the achievements that the latter had after adopting such strategy. Keywords: TQM, information technology, competitive environment, customer satisfaction, strategy. Introduction Implementing TQM in a company may be seen like a new solution that companies adopt in order to face this so called “ quality revolution”. Tough it may seem that many companies have not adequately defined what they are trying to do, and give to the...

...In this paper I will be arguing why I believe the United States should keep fighting the militant group known as ISIS, but shouldn't do more than air power. While troops are on the ground there is a greater chance that ISIS can get hold of more U.S. troops and kill them. There have been over 10,000 ISIS fighters killed, but still that has barely made a dent in the amount of fighters they have. It is too much of a risk to send U.S. troops on the ground, so that should be left as a last resort. The normative principle I am arguing is the just war theory. The idea that violence can be justified under certain criteria. The seven pieces of criteria are just cause, last resort, announcement of intention, reasonable hope of success, proportionality, right intention and just conduct. Each of these will be described in deeper meaning throughout this paper. Also in this paper, I will be explaining how the different criteria help in deciding what is considered just. The first criteria is the Just Cause, stating the war must be justified by the right reason. The right reason in this case being the defense of one’s self and others. The war against ISIS meets this criteria because ISIS...

...political authority has established its roots in the Middle East. In June 2014, the Islamic State which sometimes calls itself the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) or the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Shram (ISIS) announced its establishment on the world politics (Lister, 2014). The organization is led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi who declared himself the Caliph. On his announcement, al-Baghdadi assumed the title of the Commander of the faithful Caliph Ibrahim II. Islamic State aspires to unite all Muslims in one state. According to the jihadists, this is only possible through a caliphate in which ISIS is closest to achieving. The difficulty of the formation of the caliphate is the harsh opposition the group obtains from the Shias who are a fifth of all the Muslims. Such oppositions had already been observed in the history of Islamic schism (Lister, 2014). ISIS ideological appeal has worked in its favor to recruit its fighters all over the world. The strategy has also resulted to some supports from Muslim countries such as Pakistan. Nonetheless, the group has unspeakable violence majorly directed to Christians and the Shias. This paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the Islamic State regarding its evolution, modus operandi in terms of its operations and recruitment. The paper then assesses the impacts and threats of the group not only in the Middle East, but also world-wide. Literature Review The Islamic State has made great advances in both Iraq and Syria. It has captured...

...Proposal: My subtopic is Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in figuring out the motives of their recent activities. “ISIS” has become a danger to all of Americans. Today the Islamic state of Iraq is proudly showing its hatred against American politicians. This is both interesting and important because our families, friends and loved ones are in danger at this time. This is a major issue for our Country. I plan to research through any search engine which I have access to. This war is well known in our country, it has been occurring for over the past 4 years. Almost every news station, website, social media, journals, online articles and magazines have pieces of information about ISIS terror group. There has been several events as well as presidential conferences pertaining to this issue. Shakira Scott Dr. Selitto Research Paper ISIS Terror Islamic State of Iraq and Syria is a blood thirsty group committed to terror. “ISIS” gained a significant presence. “ISIS” is under the leadership of Abu Bakr al-Baghdad. A relatively unknown and enigmatic figure. Abu Bakr al-Baghdad was born in 1971 in Samarra. He was not raised by a wealthy family but was well-mannered. Growing up, his childhood was mainly spent attending religious courses. Like the rest of his family, Al-Baghdadi’s was a devout Muslim, and faith played a big part in his early life. Al-Baghdadi studied the Koran at Samarra mosques and took courses in Islamic science and the Hadith—the traditions, deeds...

...ISIS’ CATACLYSMISM: A PHILOSOPHICAL APPRAISAL By Dominic E.B. Anyalagbuna 1. ABSTRACT: The very inhumane hazards of the so-called Islamic militant group named ISIS are indeed highly cataclysmic! However, this paper is faced with the problem of undertaking a philosophical examination of the named group. This, the paper does, using the critical-evaluative method by considering their history, aims and activities. Upon this examination, this work discovers that, among other relevant theories, this rebel group seems to be operating on the Transcendental Idealism of Immanuel Kant which states that ‘only ideas in the mind exist,’ though one cannot absolutely arrive at it. This theory follows from the militants’ idea of Muhammad’s prophecy that ‘there will be a time when the whole world will be subjected under a ‘caliphate,’ with a ‘caliph’ as their head. Nevertheless, in the end, this treatise highlights that the solution to ISIS’s crisis is mental and intellectual re-formation. In such-wise, this work adequately recommends an urgent mental re-configuration founded on re-interpretation of the Quran among these Islamic extremists, which fundamentally, is the task of philosophy to rationally and critically accomplish. 2. PREAMBLE: There is a profound state of topsy-turvy in almost the whole countries of the world, but principally and most intensely in Syria and Iraq. This is superabundantly generated by the insurgent undertakings of the Islamic militants baptised ISIS. However, there...

...Intelligence Mission on ISIS Report Chye Yue Zhang SCTY 415 Studies in Intelligence II Abstract The threat of terrorism became very real when it caught the United States off guard and seized the attention of the rest of the world on the 11th of September 2001, using four hijacked airliners led by a terrorist organization named al-Qaeda in an attempt to conduct suicide missions of prominent landmarks of the U.S. The Twin Towers in New York were destroyed while the Pentagon in Washington D.C. suffered damage that took a year to repair. The total fatalities amounted to almost 3,000 while twice the amount of people were injured. Since then, most nations in the world have become wary of terrorist and militant groups and the potential threats that they pose. This can be seen by the tightened national securities of many countries especially on every possible stations and ports of all modes of transport that a terrorist may pose a threat to. At this point of time, although the al-Qaeda is no longer a prominent terrorist threat, another established and independent militant organization by the name of the Islamic State (IS) got the world concerned about its activities in the Middle East which in turn affected and continues to affect the rest of the world through its twisted beliefs and brutality. This paper aims to define this currently infamous group’s beliefs and objectives, how it works as an organization, how it is a threat to many countries all over the world, and the methods...

...What Do Faculty Need? Academic Library Resources and Services That Increase Research Productivity1 Ethelene Whitmire Abstract This paper describes a theoretical model of the relationship between faculty research productivity and academic library resources and services and a proposed empirical study that will reveal which academic library resources and services contribute to increased faculty research productivity. Introduction According to the latest available figures from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Academic Library Survey (ALS), during the fiscal year 1998 the 3,658 academic libraries in the United States spent a total of $4.6 billion dollars on operating expenditures, held a total of 878.9 million volumes in their collections, and had 175.4 million circulation transactions (U.S. Department of Education, 2001). What is the impact of these figures on faculty research productivity? Higher education institutions have to make decisions about the allocation of limited funds among a number of programs.

From any given vantage point, a river looks much the same day after day. But actually it is constantly flowing and changing, crumbling its banks, widening and deepening its channel. The water seen one day is never the same as that seen the next. Some of it is constantly being evaporated and drawn up, to return as rain. From year to year these changes may be scarcely perceptible. But one day, when the banks are thoroughly weakened and the rains long and heavy, the river floods, bursts its banks, and may take a new course. This represents the dialectical part of Marx’s famous theory of dialectical (or historical) materialism." Historical materialism is a methodological approach to the study of society, economics, and history first articulated by Karl Marx (1818–1883) as the materialist conception of history. It is a theory of socioeconomic development according to which changes in material conditions (technology and productive capacity) are the primary influence on how society and the economy are organised. Historical materialism looks for the causes of developments and changes in human society in the means by which humans collectively produce the necessities of life. Social classes...

...know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles“ –– Sun Tzu, Chinese philosopher and military strategist, around 500 BC. “Our terrorism against America is blessed terrorism.” –– Osama bin Laden (on video) “The acme of this religion is jihad.” — Osama bin Laden (Bergen, 2001, p. 41) Many have asked, “what can we do to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS)? ” There have been a variety of suggestions from airstrikes, isolation , establishing a national unity government in Iraq to the feasibility of a counter-offensive using 'local' militia's and only as a last resort U.S. Boots on the ground. These are all worthy ideas; however, it is imperative to get a fundamental understanding of what has caused this problem because ISIS is growing and becoming stronger (even though current air strikes and counter-offensives have been successful). Before a decision can be made a rigorous analysis is necessary, a sociological analysis, so that the United States and the rest of the world can determine what must be done regarding ISIS and why. (Thesis): This paper will argue that the challenge of removing IS lies in our ability to understand and realize that the terror group’s appeal is not its alleged goal of a regression to the glorious past of Islam (as Armstrong put it), nor that Islam is the fundamental cause of this anomaly, but that ISIS's appeal is, as Dorsey and Ali state, “...the opportunity it offers the socially, economically...
