Social order, for instance, is a desired attribute that is founded on established written and unwritten rules that are being observed by most people within a society. Deviation from these established rules is considered as undesirable and people who deviate are considered as having abnormal qualities or malfunctioning (Merton, 2002, p. 672). There are instances, however, wherein some people are observed to deviate from the standard pattern of human behavior.

The US Constitution allows Congress the power to deploy the ‘militia’ with the objective of “executing the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions.” In addition, it ensures that the states are protected against aggression to overthrow the “republican government” and, upon the request of the state government, against civil disturbances. These constitutional tenets are seen in the 1807 Insurrection Act prior to and after the adoption of 1878 Posse Comitatus Act. The latter bans the deliberate engagement of any component of the Army or the Air Force unless allowed by the ambit of Congress ...

This practice subsided in the subsequent two decades due to the effect of global factors such as world war two. Modern terrorism started in 1968 when three Palestinian gunmen hijacked a passenger airline of the Israeli Airline El Al on a ...

Arguably, the worst artificial famine in human history which was engineered for profit, the Great Bengal Famine of the 1770 occurred between 1769 and 1773.

Communication and Problem Solving Practices in Public Safety Agencies

Abstract Communication and problem solving are necessary for public safety agencies to be effective. Employees cannot adequately respond to disasters if they do not have the correct information or the information at all. Historically, public service agencies have used different communication protocols and equipment. This has resulted in a severe lack of coordination to disasters and emergencies that require the cooperation of different public safety agencies. The September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Hurricane Katrina are prime examples of the lack of coordinated communication and problem solving amongst different agencies. New technologies such as geographical ...

The literature on ethical decision making training within public safety agencies stipulates certain guidelines.

The Holocaust literature is thus an interesting topic for readers to study and understand. The two books ...

Hate among men has had long and very deep historical roots. It has taken many forms by pitting people against each other. Its cultivation propagated by decades of fueling irrational fears against a particular race of individuals. Inbred ignorance has been the easy way to woo people into arousing hatred. There is now a mutual realization that most people possess inadequate knowledge about other nations and culture. In the days of old, fault lines were drawn along military pacts, geographical identities, and political ideologies, however in the recent centuries, it has taken a total shift and embraced one drawn ...

What different paths to freedom and equality did Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X offer to Black Americans? Why did each of them believe that their respective path would be long and dangerous The backbone of Martin Luther King’s ideology was the principle of non-violence. The idea of non-violent resistance is was not brand new at the moment when M.L.King addressed it in his rebellious policy. The ideology of non-violence had already been preached by an outstanding Indian human and national rights activist Mahatma Gandhi.

Rap has entered the history of American art over a century ago. The people who have laid the foundations for rap as we know it today were the two big ethnical groups of the American society: African Americans and people from the Caribbean Islands. Folk artists of the mentioned origins were telling rhymed stories with the accompaniment of rhythmic music (drums and sparse instrumentation). This music already existed years before hip-hop was developed and became popular. Rapping is actually reading or chanting of rhythmic lyrics that were designed to set a beat. Many specialists are of the opinion that ...

Introduction

The disaster events that have occurred in the recent past have illustrated the challenges that face metropolitan areas and states in preparing and later responding to natural disasters (Deyle & Wiedenman, 2014). Considering the suddenness of the different natural disasters, terrorist incidents, as well as their unexpected nature, it is not surprising that there is evidence of the lack of coordination and confusion in the management of transportation system in the aftermath. Although the immediate response to disasters and security incidents is the responsibility of public security agencies, the metropolitan planning organizations play very important role in promoting and coordinating ...

No one was able to state with certainty the aim of the Soviet Union and its idea of communism in the German region. In the Eastern part of Europe, the communist parties were very small but in the end, they became famous. Many of the European states had witnessed the impact of war, and they were not ready to see Europe in another state of conflict (Perry, Berg & Krukones, 2009, p.301). The West and the Soviet Union had many differences as the Soviets believed that communism and capitalism could not coexist. During the Cold War period, some patterns were ...

Abstract

Mitigation emphases on decreasing damages of life and property while the recovery empowers the community to regain its normalcy and cope with the situation to continue with their lives. From that avowal, it is without a doubt that they are both central and fundamental phases in the management of adversities that might arise. The two play an essential role in helping the society members to respond and bounce back despite the loss of life and damage to properties. An attempt will be made to expound the mitigation and recovery disciplines of the disaster management plan as well as the ...

Iran Revolution of 1979

Abstract The Iranian Revolution of 1979 involved the popular uprising in Iran against the regime of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi. This paper examines many of the leading explanations for the uprising, including the rise of militant Islam, structural weaknesses of the Shah regime, the coalition of three important social groups (e.g. woman, youth, and the intelligentsia), the composition of the reform movement, and the effect of the Shah’s policies of accommodation and repression, to name a few. This paper also draws on leading theories in social movement theory, contemporary field work involving discussions with the Mullahs and their ...

The Cultural context in a movie, play or reading materials can be analyzed in terms of time at which the people lived; the place; setting; environment; social organization; social divide; family culture; gender roles; economic, religious and political status (Mcdonough 2005). In most cases authors of novels, books or articles and the directors of movies and plays apply more than one of the cultural contexts to bring out several intended themes.

ABSTRACT

Hurricane Katrina proved to be one the largest natural disasters to occur in the United States. This storm devastated parts of the south, particularly Louisiana. High winds, rains and the breaking of levees left mass flooding and the drowning of entire neighborhoods. The emergency response from the government proved to be highly disorganized, inefficient and lacked the needed supplies to meet the needs of those requiring medical attention, food, water and shelter. In fact, some argue that the disaster lasted longer because of organizations like FEMA whose efforts many call a great failure. Since then many suggestions have been ...

VOLKSWAGEN ADVERTISEMENT AND COUNTERCULTURE

Introduction The entry of Volkswagen (VW) as a brand on American soil was no easy feat. The boldness and enthusiasm of Heinz Nordhoff in the immediate aftermath of WWII at a time when anti-Nazism was rife, to talk German business on American soil came not short of paranoia. Even though he envisioned tapping the growing American motor vehicle industry, the “German” profile was an immediate red flag, not to mention some odd-styled vehicles that casted forth an aura of centrism and leanness; characteristics that antagonized the enlarging American appetite for size and comfort. However, America of the 1960s was ...

The Turkish viewpoint story of the Battle of the Dardanelles is the main focus of this book. The first three chapters of the book deal with the awful battle of the Gallipoli and the effect that the battle had on the people of Turkey and Australia. It is one of the few historical perspectives from the viewpoint of the Turks by giving the military point of view from World War I, telling the "Turkish story”. The book is published in Australia, which was a little questionable as to why the Australians would want to read about the Turkish point ...

The Life of George Bent was written more than half a century ago from the letters of George Bent written to George Hyde.

A crisis intervention, refers to process of responding to a crisis in a manner that minimizes the impact to ...

Introduction

The development of Disaster Psychology into various spheres of knowledge aims at the analysis of the psychological reactions emanating from either anthropogenic or environmental disasters consequences. This concept provides new approaches to efficiently constructing short-term and possible long-term relief programs. Emerging through stressful instances such as disasters, individuals usually undergo and express certain psychological reactions like denial, anger, irritability, isolation, blame games (blaming others or self-blames), mood swings, feeling stunned and helpless, depression, fear of nightmares, and grief (Frey et al. 2010). The duration and magnitude of these psychological reactions differ and can at times be mild or acute, ...

Hurricane Katrina was the worst disaster to hit the United States since the 9/11 attacks. In the aftermath of the 11 September 2001 attacks, the US Department of Homeland Security came up with a host of plans and restructured FEMA at the cost of billions of dollars. Despite all the spending and planning, the chinks in the armor were apparent before and after Hurricane Katrina. The forecast of the Hurricane along with its destructive capability and target path gave several cities ample time to evacuate hundreds of citizens before the storm struck. There were two days warning from 24 ...

Philosophers and scientists around the globe are making different kinds of claims regarding the development of human intelligence and their claims revolve around different kinds of theories. Due to the complexity in the theories, it is always difficult to believe in one ...

Abstract

This paper will discuss the emergence of national security policies and laws in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Prior to these attacks, there was relatively little coordination between different government agencies and branches with regards to counterterrorism. But the 9/11 attacks led to significant changes. All three government branches are highly involved in national security measures and interests. Congress responded by passing very important statutes to augment the government’s authority to conduct and investigate terrorist threats and apprehend suspects. These statutes reflect the practical difficulties of apprehending and prosecuting terrorists. Terrorism is unique in that if ...

How was the My Lai Massacre reported by the U.S. media? 1680 words

Plan of the investigation

How did the United States media represent the My Lai Massacre? What did the incident look like in the American newspapers? I have chosen this topic because the importance of the media during the Vietnam War (particularly the My Lai) cannot be underrated. The U.S. media influence Americans’ perception of the event, as the primary information was reversed and many details were never revealed. Throughout the world history, many countries did the same thing in order to avoid panic and unneeded criticism. In this particular case, ...

Reflective Statement

Taking the course has brought me to a deeper understanding and appreciation of what nature has given us freely and a realization of what contributions I make in the process of destroying her. It is fascinating to realize that everything we do has an effect on either its preservation or tearing down. This makes our attitude or actions towards her very important and critical because if she is destroyed, its inhabitants will also be destroyed along with her.

The last three months has been like going through an evolution. An evolution of knowing what my lifestyle is contributing to the ...

Abstract

The historic incident of the U.S attack on the Iraqi Ba’arthist troops headed by Saddam Hussein on 1991 and the annexation of the country in 2003 have generated different debates on the actual intention of the stakeholders. Critics in favor of America’s action opine that these incidents were actually moral projects undertaken by America in order to release the Iraqi civilians from the claustrophobic ambiance prevailing in the country because of the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein. These critics believe that America took over the ethical duty to organize the law and order of Iraq and establish a democratic ...

PSTD and Religious Faith

Combat PSTD and Religious Faith According to Dr. Nelson-Pechota (2004), every war has been virtually fought with a religious foundation. Faith in the divine powers has helped soldiers to confidently stride to a battle. Their religious faith has strengthened their courage and convictions. They also believe that they are favored or empowered by God when they meet with success in the battlefield. However, wars also create a moral confusion due to the combatants’ religious influences. As such, they find it conflicting to perform an act of violence which might be a sacred duty in another instance.

For combatants, intrusive thoughts and ...
