Cyber Defense

Background In the recent past, there has been an increasing reliance on technology to undertake numerous aspects of social, political, and economic lives in many countries across the globe. While the reliance on technology has had a positive impact on many aspects of our lives, that reliance also inherently attracts threats such as cyberterrorism. Consequently, cyber defense becomes a crucial element for nations. Cyber defense refers to the deliberate steps taken by governments to protect information that they hold to be sensitive. Cyber threats are not just a danger to the individual countries such as the U.S. that have ...

Differences between Classical and Operant Conditioning

In Behavioral Psychology, the term ‘conditioning’ is used to refer to a theory that learning can allow a human being or animal to modify the response (reaction) to a stimulus (event/object) (Hill, 2001). There are two types of conditioning: classical conditioning and operant conditioning with distinct characteristics. When the two types are contrasted, it is easily noticeable that both approaches involve diverse learning patterns. As far as classical conditioning is concerned, it involves “learning by association, and refers to the conditioning of reflexes – how animals learn to associate new stimuli with innate bodily reflexes” (Hill, 2001). According to operant ...

How to overcome racism if our own justice system is racial? We know that our nation has struggled a lot of unjust racial cases. For example, in the period of pre-civil war, the southern part of the United States was covered with slavery. The life of Black-African American groups was horrible as they were slaves and were treated as slaves also. They were a property that white people could buy and sell, had no rights, and were not protected by the legislature. In 1865, Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery, and the modern days are known for the public fight with ...

One of the main advantages of literature lies in its ability to communicate various cultural experiences and provide greater knowledge and deeper understanding of foreign traditions for the reader. In the Western civilization, Eastern religious traditions and cultures informed by them are perceived with interest, fascination and even fear; while lack of understanding can often impair successful interaction and communication. In addressing the issue of religious values, the authors of two books, Confucius Lives Next Door: What Living in the East Teaches Us about Living in the West and Children of Dust: A Portrait of a Muslim as a ...

When it comes to Human Resource Management, things tend to get a tad bit trickier considering how the HR department’s entire job is to maintain the upkeep of the people to ensure the upkeep of the facility. That being said, there are a few factors the HR department needs to consider before they can perfectly say that have done the best HR planning for the sports complex. For starters they need to make sure there are enough people doing the work and the maintenance of the facility is going as planned. Secondly, they need to make sure that ...

Thesis Statement: The film illustrated how greed and blood lust of the people can lead to a bitter end after several African Americans became victims of exploited labor force which is in the simplest form of slavery employed by the Native Americans, who took advantage of their ignorance during the 18th century. 1.) The block quotation that was chosen and was compressed in the film which and should have been more highlighted is the line, “As the price of whale oil continued to rise, while the economy of the other countries continued to suffer due to economic depression, Nantucket ...

Reason Why the Israelites Desired for a King

Samuel grew older and thus, appointed his son to lead the Israelites. However, the sons did not adhere to his leadership skills since they were dishonest as well as accepted bribe in the long run.

Various Laws

As I will describe five different laws I want to give the definition of the word “law” itself. So law is “A rule of conduct or procedure established by custom, agreement, or authority” (law, n.d).What is criminal law? Criminal law is one of the bodies of law which focuses on different crimes and defines punishment for them. The other name of criminal law is penal law. Criminal law proscribes different undesirable acts – everything that is harmful, threatening or somehow puts in danger the health, property, safety or moral welfare of people. The example of criminal law: law that ...

Capital punishment is one of the debatable forms of punishment in the United States. There are various views that have been raised in support and against capital punishment. Historically, capital punishment has existed for many decades. Reformist continue to support the use of alternative forms of crime. The capital punishment was inflicted in America to punish those who spied against the state and committed dangerous crimes. Also, the death penalty began to be used in the correctional facilities (Mandery, & Mandery, 2011). The legislatures inflicted capital punishment to reduce crimes in society. The legislatures believed that capital punishment was the ...

Addiction can have devastating consequences on families. Many people become so caught up in the whirlwind of hard drugs that they lose touch with reality and begin to forget the person they used to be. They make decisions based on the drugs instead of using common sense, and people tend to get very hurt, and in many cases, they die. People will do anything for money, including committing crimes, and those crimes can end up leading them to jail or other criminal punishment. In Anthony’s Intervention episode, his addiction has a significant affect on all aspects of his ...

The term ‘actus reus’ refers to the physical component of the crime, while ‘mens rea’ addresses the mental aspect of the offence. Situations, when the alleged perpetrator has the actus reus, but lack mens rea can be different, and a solution depends on the constituent components of a particular crime. First of all, strict liability offences and a range of other offences that differ across statutes and common law under different jurisdictions do not require proving mens rea. Strict liability often refers to minor offences (e.g., selling alcohol to an under-aged individual), where it is hard to determine the ...

Learning allows our brains to record and preserve beneficial behaviors and know how to avoid harmful ones. The consequences of the experiences we have or observe are stored in our memory as knowledge to influence our future behavior. The paper explores behavior change through a focus on the learning theories; classical and operant conditioning.

Operant Conditioning

It is a form of learning in which the response to a voluntary behavior influences whether or not the behavior will recur; this occurs through the use of reinforcements and punishment. Following the experiments of B. F. Skinner, we can conclude that a person or ...

Most people have tried to explain the term justice from different perspectives. Justice is seen as a simple word, but the truth is the word justice is very complicated. Justice can be based on the concept of moral rightness that has varying perspectives on ethics, fairness, religion, rationality and law. On the other hand, justice can be termed as fairness in the protection of the rights and the punishment of wrongs. While the legal systems and other tribunal aim to uphold the ideal through the proper and fair administration of the laws, it's likely to have the unjust laws ...

There are several laws that aimed at protecting human health and environment. The government and private parties are allowed to enforce the federal environmental laws.

Criminal and civil environmental enforcement are streamlined towards protection of environment and health. The criminal environmental enforcement seeks to punish the actions that the society view as harmful to the environment and health of people. The civil, environmental enforcement is streamlined towards individual parties who should be compensated for the harm caused by ...

In the majority of states all crimes are divided into two groups: felonies and misdemeanors. The difference between these two groups is in seriousness of crimes. (Hasselm, 2011) If this is a felony, an accused person can get 1 year in prison, life imprisonment without parole or even the death penalty. If it is a misdemeanor, an accused person could be punished by less than 1 year or a year of imprisonment and/or fine. Crimes are not equal in weight. General public considers some of the crimes more severe than others. (Kappeler, 2014) The majority of people considers the ...

Olaudah Equaino

Chapter one of Olaudah Equaino presents a glimpse of the 18th century culture and way of living in a typical African village. In the initial chapter, Equaino demonstrated a reserved behavior, by humbly citing that his narrative was not intended to call attention to himself. However, he also expressed that he felt more favored by God compared to other Africans, which leads him to acknowledge how the Divine had been so merciful of him throughout his life. Consequently, his narrative was a demonstration of his high hopes to be able to help in promoting “the interest of humanity”. He ...

It is in the public domain that China, for a long time now, has been both a patrilineal and also a patriarchal society. It puts a greater emphasis on the significance of a family setup and the hierarchy that exists in it. The superiority of the male gender, on one hand, and the inferiority of the female gender, on the other hand, have been concepts that are deeply rooted in this community’s culture for almost two thousand years. These aspects are magnificent in numerous aspects of the Chinese social life. Women in this society, as a result, have ...

Capital penalty of punishment has been a divisive topic and there are many different theories which oppose as well as support capital punishment. Today, most of the countries have abolished capital punishment, even for the most dreadful criminal activities. Instead of being hanged to death, the criminals are instead imprisoned for lifetime. This is because taking the life of a person, even a criminal, cannot be justified under any situation. However, there are some nations which are still advocate that capital crimes such as murder or terrorism should be dealt with capital punishments. One of the basic reasons of ...

When we are talking about the death penalty, what state are we thinking about? Of course it is Texas. Everyone knows that this state is, for sure, the capital of death punishment. It got this name after numerous executions with lethal injection. As for example, we can see that the quantity of such death penalties here since 1976 includes more than five hundred cases (DPIC). First of all, this number shows us that Texas was actually a leader state for such executions. Secondly, it has the historical grounding. The first such action was taken here – on December 7, 1982 ...

The death sentence is not only unjust but also unethical. I, therefore, believe that it should be abolished. The death sentence is against the human rights, and this makes it be an immoral way of sentencing people. I believe that any administration across the world should abolish death sentence as a form of capital punishment. Capital punishment is the infliction of deaths for capital crimes such as murder, rape and even crime (Theroux& Krasemann, 2014). This form of punishment is just like the eye for an eye sentiment, which is also unjust and immoral. Sentencing people by murdering them ...

Women have experienced harm since the beginning of humankind. The French feminist movement began in the late 1790s and one of its key arguments has always been that language has been used to prejudice women as long as orality has been used. The language of the late 20th and early 21st century has become the language of the press, and more relevantly the language of online sources. These online sources are able to reach to the far edges of the world and few cultures are safe from these opinions, words and languages the promote prejudice against women. This paper ...

Abstract

The prison is being used since the people started to live in a society. It is being the necessity to obtain control over the group of people to protect the crimes by punishing the criminals. The history of jails in the US will date back to the British ruling period while it was first introduced to punish the criminals. The jails were not in a good shape on that time that caused the death of many prisoners in health issues. The jails are being reformed day by day and upgraded to the prison system that we witness in the ...

A movement can be termed as a group of individuals that work together for the advancement of their shared social, political or rather artistic ideas. One of the movements that I wish I had been part of is the Human Rights Movement. The Human Rights Movement can be defined as a non- governmental as well as social movement that takes part in all activities that are directly related to human rights issues (Kennedy, 2002). The main foundations of the movement involve active resistance to: slavery, racism oppression of the minority and colonialism. What compels me most to be part ...

This report shall be a case study on change management and it shall focus on one particular company. However, rather than focus on a gleaming example of change management done right or a company that emerged stronger when it came to the practice of change management, this report shall instead focus on a company that did it too wrong and too late. Indeed, Blockbuster Video used to have a commanding share of the video rental market. However, they failed to read the proverbial tea leaves when it came to the paradigm shift to streaming and the use of kiosks ...

Introduction

Introduction Conscience is one of the most commonly experienced psychological faculty of an individual, but is also one of the least understood. For many years, little attention have been given towards understanding conscience; particularly on how it is shaped and who influenced the modern understanding of this concept. Nevertheless, conscience is an important phenomenon that requires significant attention primarily because it impacts all human judgment. The manifestation of conscience delineates man from other animals species as conscience is proof of man’s self-consciousness; an attribute that is only observable among human species.

When it comes to the term coercion, there are usually negative connotations mentioned and covered. Indeed, to coerce someone is to be perhaps punitive and harsh when it comes to leveraging someone to comply with a preference or directive. However, there are some areas of concern and discussion where the usual shades of black and white when it comes to coercion instead fade to shades of gray. For example, if a person charged with a crime is clearly guilty but is not pleading to that effect, they can be offered a plea deal or told that the death penalty ...

Describe the transactional and transformational leadership characteristics that Don Green and Michael Budman possess.

According to the available literature, some assumptions are held regarding the transactional leadership. Transactional leadership style believes that leaders are motivated by the reward and punishment the satisfaction of such leaders is on seeing the company excelling (Kurland, Peretz and Hertz-Lazarowitz 8). They also believe that social network works best with a clear and defined chains of command from the top. Again, they believe that the primary purpose of the subordinates in the organization is doing what they are instructed to do. Transactional leadership involves a situation where leader works by creating a clear structure of what should be ...

Introduction

Abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs is a nettlesome problem, as its incidence has risen since the beginning of the century. Long-term regular alcohol abuse sooner or later leads to alcohol dependence, mental shock, nervous system and internal organs diseases. Despite the commonly held belief, active-duty personnel in the military are not quite as tough as to be completely immune to the substance abuse problems that blight civilian populations. However, the exact number of the alcohol abusers is very difficult to determine because people tend not to share this information. Thus, the numbers among civilians are very rough as ...

Abstract

A nurse is likely to face different worldviews constantly in their line of work. Such worldviews are often shaped by different religious and cultural beliefs. The question of euthanasia for patients with terminal illnesses lends itself to different worldviews and interpretations. George’s condition of ALS has forced him to consider euthanasia. From, a Christian standpoint, this choice is wrong because only God the Creator has the authority over life and death. Also, Buddhism does not favor euthanasia. The question of the causes of sickness also lends itself to religious interpretation. Christian interpretations are varied. One view is that ...

Hitler and the Nazi party came to power in 1933 by 1939 they had begun their quest to invade and rule all of Europe. During this time, unknown to the rest of Europe Hitler and the Nazis were also implementing their “final solution” which was the systematic execution of Jews and any others that they deemed not suitable to exist in the ideal society that Hitler had been selling to the German people through his speeches and propaganda (Kershaw, 2008, pgs. 36-43). Once the Allied forces defeated the Nazi forces and Hitler escaped his judicial fate by committing suicide. ...

This paper is about Freddie Lee Hall and the review of the case Hall v Florida No. 12-10882 (2014), with reference to Atkins v Virginia. Mr. Hall committed multiple crimes of rape, kidnap, robbery and murder, although with an accomplice in 1978. There was an effort to refute his claims of being intellectually challenged because of the degree of planning needed to conduct such a robbery and also a consideration of the fact that he had an IQ score of 71.

1. There are many situations when telling a lie can be considered moral. In this instances, the “truth” is usually called a white lie.

In this cases, one should not tell the full truth but just partial. When you overheard, some guys calling your friend not pretty, there is no necessity to tell it to your friend right away.

There are numerous debates about the death penalty in the United States. America continues to allow states to decide whether to apply the death penalty or not. There are 32 states in America that have the death penalty as opposed to 18 states that have abolished the practice. The United States of America continues to act as the leader of the free world. American exceptionalism is premised on the fact that America is a uniquely free nation based on democratic ideals and personal liberties.

The Contingency Theory of Leadership was developed by the psychologist Fred Fiedler in the 1950s initially as a series of measurements and then formalized as a theory in the late 1960s (Fiedler, 1967). The essential tenet of the Contingency Theory of Leadership is that there is no one single best model of leadership, but the situation will dictate the method and leadership style (Mills & McKimm, 2016). The focus tends to be on the leader being able to correctly read the situation and adapt the style of leadership accordingly. The theory states that the effectiveness of a leader is dependent ...

Abstract

While it is obvious that various cultures and even various groups of people may have different concepts of justice and the way it is exercised, there is probably no such thing as the universally accepted concept of justice. Nevertheless, people tend to respect those who stick to the vision of right and wrong, that is shared by the vast majority of the group. If someone tends to violate those principles, he or she deserves criticism or even punishment. On the other hand, a person who knows, understands and accepts the rules of the game, deserves respect and ...

Criminology is a study that largely defines the detection and control of crime in a bid to control illegitimate character in the society. The two schools of thought – the classical school and the positivist school – have been an effective tool in the understanding and formulation of crime control strategies that the control of deviant behavior. Firstly, the classical school, which is an advancement of philosophers Cessare Beccaria and Jeremey Bentham in the 18th century was inclined on the utilitarian philosophy being a contributor to the development of prisons thereafter (Williams III & McShane, 2010, p. 41). The classical school philosophers ...

INTRODUCTION

Throughout human history there has always been crime, from the most petty of crimes to the most heinous of criminal injury, abuses and murder. The most gruesome of crimes are those involving murder, whether premeditated or “heat of the moment,” which carry heavy criminal consequences. These cases are tragic, but no murders are more disturbing and shocking than those committed by serial murderers. These are killers who torture, dismember and murder victims in very specific and very ugly ways that are an extension of the killer’s needs. There have been many serial killers who have become famous for ...

Introduction

In the recent times, the concepts of transactional and transformational leadership have been considered as the orders of a day. The concept of transformational leadership was introduced by James McGregor in the year 1978. The belief and argument behind the introduction were that transformational leadership is a process in which the followers and the leaders coexist and mutually help each other rise at moral and motivational levels. Further explanation on the same was given in 1985 by Bernard M Bass through his book, “Leadership and performance Beyond Expectations.” There was the development of criteria that must be fulfilled by ...

<Institution> Children are our nation’s future. As cliché as it may sound, the meaning of this statement remains true. The way that children are being raised and taken care of today will greatly impact the coming years. This is because their circumstances as children will contribute to the kind of adults that they will become in the future. However, it is a fact that many children of today continue to face harsh realities due to abuse and neglect. Many have become victims of people who do not care about the impact of their actions and the effect ...

The major principles regarding using punishment instruments are utmost care, stringency and ability to encourage or motivate a student to work. The successful plan of using methods that help with maintaining disciplined behavior should include only the most effective forms of punishment simultaneously. According to that, the first step for Ms. Smiley is carefully observing and exploring personalities each of her students. For instance, student A can be vulnerable and student B is not present in the classroom. Therefore, it is significant to understand how the teacher can deal with them appropriately. The next step is a strict indication ...

PART A- Operant Conditioning Theory

Operant conditioning is a theory on behaviorism that was formulated by behavioral psychologist, B.F. Skinner. It focuses on an individual's changes in observable behavior. According to B.F. Skinner, once a behavior is followed by reinforcement, it is more likely to be repeated; however, if it is followed by punishment then it is not likely to be repeated (Plotnik, R., & Kouyoumdjian, 2014). Bobby is a seven-year old child who is used to getting gifts from his parents every now and then right from a tender age. Every time his mother decides to go to the mall, she takes him with ...

Introduction

One of the most common strategies of criminal defense attorneys when representing a defendant who has an unusual condition such as a mental abnormality, is to argue either that regardless of their actions, they are nevertheless not responsible for the crime or that they never had the capacity to commit a crime. The reason that criminal defense attorneys can make these arguments is that criminal law recognizes a number of unique situations where otherwise criminal conduct should not be subjected to a determination of guilt and the offender should be exempted from the crime (LaFave, 2000). These arguments, which ...

Introduction

It is a sad fact is that rape remains a common crime all over the world, and different countries have different punishments for convicted rapists. Chemical castration is a process where drugs are used for reducing sexual activity and libido of the convicts. Among all the options that are present in the judicial systems, probably the most logical solution is chemical castration. Chemical castration is a process where drugs are used for reducing sexual activity and libido of the convicts (Park). Even though some people might claim that chemical castration seems too harsh a punishment, but it is only ...

Behavioral interventions can be grouped as either antecedent-based interventions (ABI) or consequence-based interventions (CBI). CBI is a group of practices in which the problem behaviors are addressed by manipulating the reinforcement or punishment stimuli following an observed behavior, whereas ABI refers to a group of behavioral interventions that are concerned with the modification of environmental factors that are believed to precede problem behaviors (Tullis, Cannella-Malone, & Payne, 2015). Therefore, ABI strategies are implemented before the problem behavior occurs, so their unique quality is the possibility of problem behavior prevention, which makes the behavioral change easier to maintain compared to results ...

The actual implementation of the rights and freedoms of the individual as the highest social value is possible only when the most important task is to use the apparatuses of the state to guarantee freedom – freedom of personality, freedom of enterprise, freedom of developing institutions of civil society, building a strong state, which is unthinkable without respect for the rights and freedoms of man and where the only one dictatorship is the dictatorship of the Law. (Joyce, 2013) It is well known the importance of criminal justice in protecting individual freedom and human rights, protection of free enterprise and ...

Power and how it relates to leadership.

In leadership, power can be used as an attribute to mean various factors. First, a leader can be termed powerful when followers are willing to abide by his or her rules without questioning. On the other hand, power can be used to mean the ability of a leader to influence others without necessarily having to apply force or brutal measures. Power can either promote or ruin the leadership path of a manager. Salovaara (2016) asserts that a leader who uses the different types of power to influence others in a positive way will create a work friendly environment. On ...

The problem relates to how marijuana should be legalized throughout the United States. There are now twenty-four U.S. jurisdictions that have enacted medical marijuana laws (MMLs), or laws that protect individuals who use marijuana upon recommendation of physicians, farmers who plant and supply the market, and doctors who issue prescription regarding use of marijuana (Smart 1). The legalization of medical marijuana will create a need for change, for example, new laws, policies, knowledge of medical and psychological effects, and education to help people understand the proper use of marijuana. There are many issues to be resolved if legalization of ...
