...address stress of college students. However, in order to design an effective intervention, the stressors specific to college students must be determined (Wright, 2000). The dynamic relationship between the person and environment in stress perception and reaction is especially magnified in college students. The problems and situations encountered by college students may differ from those faced by their non-students peers (Hirsh & Ellis, 2006). The environment in which college students live is quite different. While jobs outside of the university setting involve their own sources of stress, such as evaluation by superiors and striving for goals, the continuous evaluation that college students are subjected to such as weekly tests and papers, is one which is...

...Final Research Paper Topic Mary Levengood HSM305: Survey of Homeland Security & Emergency Mgmt Instructor: Stephanie Lemmon February 22, 2016 Final Research Paper Topic Across the development of history here in United States, the nation has dealt with domestic terrorism originating from numerous locations. These include individual terrorists, organized crowds, and anti-American groups. Many of these warnings and frightening operations were made with goals to obtain political and social recognition. With all the details that have been compensated and obtained by the Department of Homeland Security’s Counterterrorism groups, we can begin to comprehend and determine these terrorist’s strategies. As our past has revealed, terminating these domestic terrorists is an exceedingly difficult thing to do. It takes time, work, money, and skills and talent of an essential group of individuals to penetrate terroristic unions and their developing strategies. Still, we do not permit this to avert us in our attempts to eliminate terroristic threats and their movements towards the United States. Our government and it’s aptly instructed Department of Homeland Security will not permit these domestic terrorists to intimidate or terrorize our country. "The Department of Homeland Security is made up of many components. The training and preparation it takes to be part of this group is detailed and extensive. Its structure has changed through time," (Bullock, Haddow, & Coppola, 2016)...

These operations are currently successful in managing to achieve the retreat of the Islamist radicals from some of the main cities of the south and center of the country. The sustainment of these operations will deteriorate Al-Shabaab operations capacity as a military force, promote the desertion of some of its members, and will keep them from gaining support from the general population. The purpose of this strategy against the Al-Shabaab terror group is to decrease popular support in the civil population by emphasizing and exposing the groups hampering of humanitarian aid, and its brutal and indiscriminate use of terror methods. The improvement and sustainment of the security...

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.

...Forever 21: Dealing with America’s fear of aging and death Abstract This paper is about confronting America’s fear of the issues of aging and death. Over the years, American culture has grown uncomfortable with matters of growing old and death. The basis of this thinking is rooted in the mind and influenced by society. There is an ever increasing desire that’s rampant across our nation to remain young. This can be seen in the media, marketing for different products from makeup to apparel. Americans want to remain young for as long as they possibly can. In 1984, the band Alphaville came out with the song “Forever Young” to express America’s heart cry. However, aging and death is a part of life and a direct result of the fall of man. Aging and death were not the original condition of humanity, rather punishment that resulted from rebellion against God’s commandment. This paper examines why there is aging and death, America’s response to it, and a solution to rightly mature in the process. Since long ago America’s heart cry has been to stay young forever. In 1984, the band Alphaville came out with the song “Forever Young” to communicate the nation’s desire. In cities across the country and around every turn, materialism is vocalizing the longing for youth everlasting. This constant struggle with “wants” versus “reality” has left individuals searching for ways to cope. In addition, the lifespan of human beings was not always an average of eighty years. One thing to take into...

The Great Eight nations, including U.S., have convened various global summits where heads of states come to debate how to counter the increased climate change.

...Abstract This paper will explain many things about the Animal Liberation Front, including its operational goals; why it is a threat to the United States of America; what actions led to the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation declaring it a terrorist organization; what other countries consider it a terrorist organization and why; how it acts like a terrorist organization instead of a peaceful eco-movement; and what can be done to halt or reduce this threat in the future. The Animal Liberation Front is a terrorist group for many reasons, ranging from their operational structure to their belief system. For example, they adopted the classic clandestine cell structure in order to reduce the risk of all of the cells being compromised if one person is picked up (Shorn, 2009). This allows the members of the Animal Liberation Front to continue their operations and reduce their operational risks slightly while still maintaining security. The Animal Liberation Front originally became a threat to the United States in 1976, when it claimed its’ first firebombing, and it has only grown since then. The firebombing and the hundreds of other actions that followed it plainly show that they are a terrorist organization by their targets and how they attack those targets. The Animal Liberation Front (ALF) has also claimed credit for causing millions of dollars in damage in the United States alone (Bourne, 2003). The targets of the ALF have also begun to mutate and become more...
