...of technology, requirements, and cooperation between intelligence agencies is charged to the Criminal Intelligence Coordinating Council (CICC) and the Global Intelligence Working Group (GIWG). Working in concert, the CICC and the GIWG advocates for local police force agencies in the development and communicating of criminal intelligence to promote public safety and our Nation’s security. The recognition by the National Criminal Intelligence Sharing Plan (NCISP) of the prominence of the state, local, and tribal law enforcement (SLTLE) are vital ingredients concerning our country’s intelligence process. In order to establish the link necessary for improving intelligence and data sharing at all echelons of government, the creation of the CICC was a product of the NCISP. Law enforcement agencies from varying levels of government comprise this Council. In May 2004, the CICC was formally established and provided advice the refinement and implementation of the NCISP. (Carter, 2009). The U.S. Office of Justice Programs funded the Global Justice Information Sharing Initiatives which exists also charged with the development of methods and guidelines to effectively share information across the criminal justice system.

...Carter, spoke to our class in. Dr. Carter, who was born blind, earned his PhD in psychology and has been working in the student counseling services department at Texas A&M since 1989. His lecture centered on the importance of vulnerability in a person’s life. He said that it is very unhealthy for someone to be closed off and avoid experiencing feelings. “To avoid our emotions is to deny ourselves a huge part of who we are,” Dr. Carter emphasized. He advised us to face our reality and acknowledge it so that we can allow our struggles to become a part of who we are. He said that is the only way to really be fully alive and whole. Throughout the entire class period I felt like Dr. Carter was speaking directly to me. I thought about all the worries that ran through my head and kept me up at night. All the things that I refused to talk about and pushed to the back of my mind because they made me feel sad and vulnerable.I thought about how my parents were going to pay off my education costs, how in the world I was going to earn a 4.0, and what would happen to me and my family of immigrants...

...Privilege is the Greatest Enemy of Equality Educators most often consider multicultural education as teaching their pupils about Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Native Americans, and other descendants of color. However, multicultural education is not complete if it doesn’t challenge the root of structural racism and racial oppression: the matter of white privilege. It’s vital to understand white privilege and the role it plays in affecting society. In essence, white privilege is an unwilling and non-owned racism that has been ingrained into our mindset throughout history, and it affects how we interact with each other and how those who don’t share such advantages are affected. It’s a permeating factor responsible for many inequalities faced among races, widening the social gap between white and nonwhite Americans. Accessibility to education, jobs, and housing are all directly affected by societal inconsistencies of privilege and power. Ultimately, racism isn’t caused by white privilege; white privilege is caused by racism. Yet racism isn't a problem that resides in the minds of individuals; it lies rooted deep in our social institutions. It is necessary we reconstruct the societal ideologies of race and class to expel this self-perpetuating cycle. In this essay I will address these racial struggles for power and privilege, the role it plays in education, and my personal experience towards racism and how it has affected me as a person. Privilege, as defined by Websters Dictionary...

...Assignment # 1: McDonald’s Case Study June N. Lewis Dr. Waldo, Instructor Talent Management - HRM 532 Strayer University July 21, 2013 Assignment #1: McDonald’s Case Study Outline the talent management program that led to success for the company. In the fourth quarter in 2002, McDonald’s had their first profit lost and the company began to ask themselves what went wrong because they had a history of outstanding performances until then. Upon reviewing some of their key components, the organization realized that they had to revamp their Talent Management process so that it would become aligned with the company’s business objectives and policies. Talent management is defined as “a subset of human resource (HR) processes, programs, and tools designed to identify, assess, develop, and retain talent (Silzer & Dowell, 2010, p.75). The company’s first two steps in achieving success was to restructure their performance development system (PDS) throughout the organization for all of the staff positions along with coming up with a talent review process for all of the officer-level positions in the company. Next on the list was creating and implementing a sequence of enhanced development programs, such as, Leaders at McDonald’s Program (LAMP), the McDonald’s Leadership Institute, finally, the launching of the Global Leadership Development Program. When McDonald’s had originally rolled out their strategy for the performance development system (PDS) in 2001 for all of the staff...

...other researchers on how to solve environmental inequalities. Previous research has been carried out to detect why most, if not all, of the polluting industries, such as power plants and waste facilities, tend to be located in minority and poor neighborhoods (Carter; Morello-Frosch; Pellow and Park; Bullard and Wright). Normally, people that live in low income neighborhoods will experience a disproportionately high amount of pollution compared to those living in high income neighborhoods (Morello-Frosch). Therefore, parks, trees, and outdoor recreational areas tend to be located in wealthy neighborhoods. Consequently, minority and poor neighborhoods tend to have the lowest ratios of parks-to-people (Carter). This means that there is a low amount of park space per 10,000 people. Other research shows that even if we ignore the level of income, minority neighborhoods, such as African American and Hispanic neighborhoods, will still experience higher levels of pollution than white neighborhoods (Bullard and Wright). Thus, by looking at both race and social class we can point out the communities that enjoy the availability of parks and trees or suffer from the pollution from industrial facilities. According to Majora Carter, an American urban revitalization strategist, the South Bronx in New York City is known as a low-income Latino and Black...

...brain, causing neurological damages and unbearable pain. On the other hand, boxers are the victims of epilepsy. c. Inbreeding may cause welfare problems because today’s dogs are simply breed to fit the breed standards for dog showing regardless of their health conditions and potential risks of developing health problems. Inbreeding has made a breed’s gene pool become narrower. As such, defective genes are more easily passed on within a breed, which could affect the breed population to a great extent. In this film, Margaret Carter, who is a cavalier breeder, discovered her dog had Syringomylia. Before then, the dog gave birth to many puppies who inherited the same condition. In class material that centers on ridgeback dogs, the inbreeding parents usually carry the same genetic defects and thus are at higher risk to give birth to a puppy with serious defects, though the desired ridgeback trait is retained at the same time. 2. a&b. Although the working German shepherd used by police force still looks very much like their ancestor, unlike the original German shepherd who have straight back legs, today’s show dogs tend to have a sloped back and dragged back legs that leads to a lack of coordination in their limb movements. With regards to English bulldogs, they tend to have flatter faces with shorter noses and excessive wrinkles. Again, these physical changes were proven to be detrimental to the health and welfare of bulldogs. The shorter nose would be more likely to induce breathing...

...22 Carter, C. (2011) “Sex/Gender and the Media: From Sex Roles to Social Construction and Beyond,” in Ross, K. (ed) The Handbook of Gender, Sex and Media, Oxford: Wiley-Blackwell. ISBN-10: 1444338544; 365-82. ISBN-13: 978-1444338546 Sex/Gender and the Media From Sex Roles to Social Construction and Beyond Cynthia Carter Introduction In the early years of second-wave western feminism, many gender researchers and feminist scholars distinguished between the notion of sex, defined as biological differences between male and female, and ‘sex roles,’ referring to certain behaviors and characteristics attributed to each sex that was a social construction. The resulting media research centered on images of women in the media (much less emphasis was placed on men) in order to draw attention to inequities in their portrayal in relation to men (in quantitative terms as well as in terms of the use of stereotypes). Since the 1970s, however, the scope of social constructionism has greatly expanded in feminist theory. Some suggest that the distinction between the biological and the social has, as a result, eroded to such an extent that it is no longer possible to understand the difference, while others question the need for this distinction. For instance, in queer and transgender theory and feminist cultural studies, theorists have sought to make strange the ‘sex/gender’ distinction. The key argument made is that biology is no less a cultural construct than gender socialization into...

...Administration Studies Instructor September 2009 Professional Development Plan Part IA: Description of Personal and Professional Goals From a very early age, I was encouraged to attend college by my parents, my grandparents, and a beloved uncle. They all taught me that obtaining an education, particularly a college education, was a privilege that had not always been afforded to people of color and that it should not be taken for granted. They also taught me that education was the best way to attain great success, no matter how I chose to define success. It did, however, take some time before I fully understood what they so passionately attempted to instill in me. It was not until I began working at Johnson C. Smith University (JCSU), in an environment of academia, that I understood the value and importance of education, and the incredible impact that being part of a learning environment has on a young mind. I have been fortunate to be able to utilize the management skills I learned from my undergraduate studies and through various employment opportunities after obtaining a master’s degree in business administration. I have enjoyed my experiences working in the business field, as diverse as they have been, and would love to teach business administration at the university level. I would like to pursue a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) degree so that I may be considered an authority within the business field and possibly teach at JCSU as an adjunct professor.
