Advertisers are willing to pay millions of dollars for 30 seconds of airtime
during the Super Bowl.

commercial or website commercial. Explain why this particular 30 to 60 second
advertisement meant so much to you.

Key Points

Federalism components to include division of power between central body and constituents; leftover powers left to the states; cooperative fluctuations between state/federal bodies. Discussion on policing should reflect on who the federal division of power impacts decisions that affect policing at local levels.

Objective: Explain how the U.S. government’s features of democracy and federalism impact policing.

The U.S. government is based on the concept of federalism. What that means is that each level is independent from the other in many aspects. It is often believed that there is a superior-subordinate relationship between lower and higher levels of government but that is incorrect. In terms of law enforcement it is necessary to develop relationships between and among the many agencies and levels of government in the delivery or law enforcement services. There are often discussions and debates in policing in terms of jurisdictional issues and boundaries. The alphabet agencies have a specific mission and the training is narrowly focused on whatever that mission happens to be (FBI, DEA, CBP, ICE). State and local agencies have the entire panoply of responsibilities and, while highly skilled, may not to the degree of federal agencies. To that end different level of expertise focused on a particular issue may present some ego issues. Attempting to develop some kind of relationship between and among agencies with different missions and charters may be problematic. In that regard identify a problem that may be occurring and explain your approach to solving it.

Chapter 2 – Discuss the importance of the role of Federalism in modern policing.

Key Points

Should highlight the main points of private policing and provide arguments for or against their use.

Objective: Summarize the trends and issues associated with private policing.

In the American system there are generally two approaches to the delivery of protective services and they are private and public. The former is based on a commercial relationship between a business that delivers some service and customer who is willing to pay for that service. The private sector does not deliver the same kind or level of service as the public police. In addition since private officers are not representatives of the government there are no constraints by any aspects of the constitution such as Miranda warnings, searches and seizures, as the public agencies. However, if a citizen is ill treated in some manner they do have civil recourse in that they can file a lawsuit against the private officer and/or business.
In current times there are significant budget constraints on public police. That being said please offer your informed opinion on this question.

This Unit’s Question

One of the fastest growing industries is private security which has a very different role from public policing. In your opinion what is the most significant difference between public policing and private security? Since they both have a security element to their mission what should be done to get them to work more closely together?

Motivation from a social perspective

/in /by

Introduction

While sitting in a café sipping your coffee, you stare at a man in the corner of the room. He is in a business suit and appears to be waiting for someone. A beautiful woman comes in, and he stands and greets her with a kiss on her cheek. He orders another coffee for her and opens his briefcase. He takes out some documents and she begins to read them and sign each one. While she is signing, more people come into the café and all seem to either wave at or greet the man in the suit. He seems to know everyone in the café.

Some people have many friends while others have few to none. Some people, like the man above, are socially accepted, while others are ostracized. Some people move in and out of relationships with ease, while others are needy and “clingy.” Likewise, some people seek to achieve positions of power, while others do not. What accounts for these differences? This week, you explore how motivational theories attempt to explain the relationship between motivation and behavior change.

By nature, human beings are social creatures. They have social needs, such as safety and belonging, that have allowed them to band together and thrive. For millennia, humans have been motivated by these needs to survive adverse conditions. Today, most people desire more than mere survival; they are motivated by social needs, like achievement, affiliation, intimacy, and power. Persons with high desires for achievement or power may become leaders of business, politics, or other fields. Individuals with high affiliation needs may seek membership in many groups and desire approval and close relations with those around them. Individuals with high intimacy needs often seek strong emotional attachments. Thus, different needs produce different motivators and different behavior.

To prepare for this Discussion, select a social need from the following list: achievement, affiliation, intimacy, and power. Consider how this need influences motivation.

Post by Day 4 an explanation of how the social need you selected might influence motivation and provide an example to illustrate your point. Support your response with references to the Learning Resources.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

Industrialization after the civil war thesis and outline

After the Civil War, the United States
became a much more industrialized society. Between 1865 and 1920,

    geography, entrepreneurship, legislative representation, etc.)

  2. List five (5) specific groups that were affected by industrialization.
    Provide two (2) examples for each group describing how the group was affected.
    (Consider issues such as race, ethnicity, gender, child labor, etc.)

English, Ethics in Literature

4 following questions need to be answered in a form of journals. Each question should have a separate journal. Journals might be either small paragraphs or longer paragraphs. 

1. Sister Prejean also serves as spiritual advisor to Robert Willie, another convicted murderer. Do you think that Robert Willie received a fair trial?

2. On page 194, Sister Prejean discusses the “eye for an eye” philosophy of punishment. What points does she make?

3. What if the innocent are executed? What does Prejean say about this? How do you feel about this possibility?

4. Vernon and Elizabeth Harvey, who support the death penalty, teach Sister Prejean an important lesson. What is it?

The question needs to be answered in a form of discussion that would contain minimum 125 words. 

The title of Sister Prejean’s book and the film comes from the words that guards at San Quentin Prison are said to have yelled when a death-row inmate was let out of his cell:  “Dead man walking.”

The Dead Man Walking film was released in 1995.  Tim Robbins is the producer, Susan Sarandon plays Sister Helen Prejean, and Sean Penn plays Matthew Poncelet, a composite character (combining the real life convicted murderers Pat Sonier and Robert Lee Willie).

How did you react to the film version of Sister Prejean’s book?

Please, help me to answer all these questions.
