First, compose a minimum of 100 words in response to the question below. Second, save the work to your hard drive, and then, post your response here in Canvas. Next, read the responses provided by your classmates and compose a 100-word minimum critical response to 1 classmate’s post. You may respond to more posts, but this does not add to your 10 points. Please save this second response also. (For the response, I will send one of the classmates’ post to respond to because the posts will be visible after I post my answer of the question.)

Please read the short article linked below regarding California’s Proposition 47. (There is also a 4 minute audio recording located at the top left of the article, but listening to this is optional).

In your own words, define what Proposition 47 is and what the initiative was intended to do. Then answer whether or not you agree with this public policy. In other words, if you were a California citizen would you have voted for this bill? Why or why not?

Finally, if you pull additional information from a source (internet, book, article, journal article) to develop your response, please be sure to cite it appropriately in APA format. Below is an example to follow for a journal article. This includes the authors’ names, year of publication, title of the article, the name of the journal in italics, the volume number of the journal in italics, and the issue number in parentheses, followed by the page number range:

The purpose of this assignment is to analyze and select an appropriate method of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) for a business dispute, to examine unethical business behavior, and to develop risk management procedures to avoid or reduce claims and litigation.

Read the following scenario:

Dazzling Dough Co. sells pizza dough to local pizza restaurants. Most of the restaurants buy at least 150 pounds of pizza dough from Dazzling Dough Co. in each order. Jerry’s Pizza contacted Dazzling Dough Co. to purchase 200 pounds of pizza dough, along with some other items. Dazzling Dough Co. sent Jerry’s Pizza a written contract, prepared by Dazzling Dough Co.’s lawyer, stating that “Jerry’s Pizza agrees to purchase 200 pounds of pizza dough, pizza toppings, desserts and soft drinks for $30,000.” Jerry’s Pizza signed and returned the contract.

A few days later, Dazzling Dough Co. sent Jerry’s Pizza 125 pounds of pizza dough and 75 pounds of pizza toppings, desserts, and soft drinks. Jerry’s Pizza contacted Dazzling Dough Co. about the error in the contract and demanded an extra 75 pounds of pizza dough. Dazzling Dough Co. said there was no error, that Jerry’s Pizza signed the contract so they agreed to the terms, and it was not sending the extra pizza dough.

After several attempts to resolve the dispute and a pressing need for dough, Jerry’s Pizza terminated the contract and sent Dazzling Dough Co. a check for $15,000 for the 125 pounds of pizza dough, pizza toppings, desserts and soft drinks. Jerry’s Pizza immediately purchased 75 pounds of pizza dough from another company for $12,000. Both parties are threatening to sue each other for breach of contract. They prefer to resolve the dispute out of court because the contract contains a clause that awards reimbursement of attorney’s fees to the winning party.

The board of directors of Jerry’s Pizza scheduled a meeting with you and other senior management at the company to discuss the dispute. You’ll need to prepare a strategic plan overview (an abbreviated strategic plan, not a full plan) for the board that does the following: (1) explains why there is a dispute, (2) suggests various settlement proposals, and (3) provides recommendations on how Jerry’s Pizza can avoid this kind of dispute in the future.

Introduction

The rationale for this activity is the activation of course knowledge with a real-world application of psychology of terrorism.

Activity Instructions

The Case Analysis Paper 3 is due this week. Review the instructions and requirements for the assignment.

This assignment is designed as an exercise in case conceptualization to develop your skill in reviewing and assessing an actual individual terrorist. The task is to present a comprehensive formulation which integrates etiology, theory, and research, as they apply to a specific person.

Choose one of the terrorists provided in the following links or in the handouts for this activity, or obtain approval for a group not listed:

Lists of terrorists:

http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/wanted_terrorists

http://www.nctc.gov/site/profiles/a-c.html

In a written report explain the following (use as headings in your paper):

1. Briefly summarize the background of the person, groups members (if applies) and description of terrorist activities or acts.
2. The external or environmental factors (social) that might be relevant in the etiology of the individual’s behavior.

1. The different psychological concepts or perspectives in your readings or independent research which might be applicable to this particular person and how they apply. You can choice one (or more) theory and apply it to the case (e.g. psychology concepts, diagnosis and/or research-“this individal’s behavior may be a result of strong aggression and/or id impulses and a poorly developed Superego as described by Freud …etc.). See readings or research and links for theory suggestions).
   1. References are expected for this case paper, but watch use of web-page citations. Research articles and books as references will help you get more points. Wikipedia and like web sites are not acceptable references in an academic paper. One can use web-sites provided or government web-sites for the background research on the (subject) in your profile—but theory section references should be from good peer-reviewed references such as an academic book or articles (including readings and out journal articles or books).
   2. Remember these papers are to answer the question of “WHY” and “HOW” did this /group person do what they did? What caused it? What were the critical psychological events or processes that laid the foundation for their acts.
2. What preventative actions or intervention/counterterrorism approaches may have made a difference in this individual’s case? Be sure to cite relevant literature if possible (hint: look at course texts).

To complete this assignment, you will need to be concise in covering each of the above five items.

Writing Requirements (APA format)

• Minimum of 8 pages (approx. 300 words per page), not including title page or references page
• 1-inch margins
• Double spaced
• 12-point Times New Roman font
• Title page with topic and name of student
