Business Project Plan

Business Project Plan In the contemporary age, carefully managing the mental and social health concerns of the veterans is a crux role of every government, and this demands every responsible government to formulate an action plan that can be applied in the management of these health concerns. This is especially so as medical scholars continue to acquire new insights regarding the mental, vocational or physical health of veterans as applies to mental health, as well as the difficult and traumatic experience of the veterans in their transitioning to normal life after completion of service (American Public Health Association, 2014). ...

DISCUSSION PAPER

1. The 2013 Army Strategic Planning Guidance (ASPG) describes an Army that is “globally responsive and regionally engaged — one building toward a regionally aligned, mission tailored force that can Prevent, Shape and Win now and in the future.” To guide this approach, the Army lists four imperatives that form the basis of the Army Campaign Plan:

develop leaders to meet the challenges of the 21st century; adapt the Army to more effectively provide land power; and enhance the all-volunteer Army. Which imperative is the most important and why? Give an example of something that the Army could do to ...

Mass conscription refers the compulsory recruitment of the public to military service. In other words, conscription refers to the ability of established authorities to influence and mobilize the armies and the public of conflicting powers to engage in wars with their rivals. The act dates back to the ancient times and it continues to date in some countries. The authorities involved in the conscription also influence the ability of the military to win the wars by forcing a large number of the army to take part in the fights involuntarily. This type of influence has contributed to the outbreak ...

Introduction

In their attempt to identify appropriate research approaches in politics, feminists have often criticized traditional social science methodologies. In her article on women and democracy and the patriarchal welfare state, Carole Pateman raises the issue of the highly patriarchal political scene. She indicates that the positive and social democratic perspective is that a welfare state provides social meaning and equal worth to the political and juridical rights of all citizens. A second, more pessimistic, view on the welfare state, according to Pateman (1987) is that it provides the government with new approaches to exercising power over and governing the ...

Abstract

In June 2016, the Pentagon reviewed and revised the Department of defense’s accession disqualifications with the effect of lifting the ban on transgender populations from serving in the military, but the debate on the suitability of the new policy has grown even more heated. This paper argues that barring transgender individuals from serving their nation in the most selfless way possible is at odds with both the constitution and the values that the military fights to defend. Given the large number of transgender personnel already serving or having served in the military, there is no reason to believe ...

Bona Fide Occupational Qualifications (BFOQ) represent an employment practice that allows discrimination in specific cases, when an applicant’s religion, age, gender or national origin, when such discrimination is justified by the need to ensure normal performance of a job. While BFOQ frequently serve as an important tool of distinguishing between the cases of justified and unjustified discrimination, the practice of applying the BFOQ is associated with a significant degree of controversy (Shaman, 1971). For instance, a question remains whether the gender-based discrimination in the military shall be considered in light of the BFOQ clause, contained in the 1964 ...

Tanzimat is the name of modernizing reforms in the Ottoman Sultanate from 1839 to 1876, when the first Ottoman constitution was adopted. The basic principles of the reform were set out in Hatt-i-Sharif, issued by Sultan Abdul-Majid on the 3 of November in 1839 while his accession to the throne. Unlike previous reforms, the main place in the Tanzimat occupied not military but socio-economic issues. The initiative belonged to the group formed by the bureaucracy, headed by Mustafa Reşid Pasha, who became the author of Hatt-i-Sharif. For several years he was ambassador in England and France, and then ...

Abstract

During this paper, our target will be to analyze the main principles and ideas which could be derived from Carl von Clausewitz’s works concerning the strategy of war and the lessons which the states have to take into account, while planning the military actions. Additionally, we will be trying to deal with contemporary role of his work ‘On War’ which is thought to be the fundamental work in terms of military history and practice. The principles of five ‘W’ will be applied during the analysis. The final objective is to implement the principles and ideas of Clausewitz to ...

Marriage vs. Military Service Member

Military service is typical in the current world, where crimes and terror attacks have increased. Some of the servicemen may be involved in battles for long durations, leaving their families worried about their safety in the war. Married people who go out to war leaving their partners and kids at home are not settled because they are always thinking about the welfare of the family. When family members are left at home, they do not know if their members will be back from the battle in a healthy condition, and this causes panic among the kids and partners. Balancing ...

1. Introduction Homosexuals are humans and that is a fact although many peopel argue that it is not a natural state because people are supposed to be heterosexuals. Most people are attracted to the opposite sex, but some there is also a significant percentage of homosexual people who also have human rights. Conservatives argue that homosexuality is not natural and hence homosexuality must not be condoned. But yet, progressives believe that homosexuality is indeed a human behavior and so they face the same challenges that heterosexual couples face. 2. Review of Evidence Homosexual people have trouble with their marriages ...

The current national drinking age of 21 years old is sensible. However, there are a number of people who are adamantly opposed to this law, demanding that the current legal drinking age be lowered to 18. While many people want the legal drinking age to mirror the legal voting age, and the legal military service age, lowering the drinking age to a mere18 years old will have dire consequences for everyone in the United States, especially teenage drivers. Each year, alcohol plays a key role in the number of deaths caused by teenage automobile accidents, killing almost one-third of ...

After the Second World War, the American government entered into the global power bracket. It became an integral political and economic powerhouse in the world. As a result, most of the developing nations turned to it for support. As Vietnam struggled to free itself from the South Vietnamese communist Common Front, the American troops were sent to help the incumbent government gain control of the country. The entry of the United States into Vietnam became one of the most controversial wars in the history of the United States. In America, military conscription had been in use for years during ...

Introduction

There are significant numbers of risks associated with the military service, and the personals deployed in the combat services have to endure these risks. Women in the military are a vulnerable group to these risks, and concerns are rife whether they should continue serving in the military, especially in the combat situation. Indeed, there are recorded incidences of medical complications to women who serve in the combat operations, and unless clear roadmaps are drawn, the situation might continue impinging harder on this generation. Indeed, the plight of women as combat soldiers and veterans predisposes them to an acute challenge, ...

1. Camouflage in Art and Fashion: The Embodiment of War 1.0 Introduction Shopping malls are a place where war in the popular culture is obvious because of images ranging from the clothing displayed that is made with camouflage-printed fabric to the war movie posters at the cinemas. The culture of war is hard to avoid and somehow the idea of war seems to be comfortable to the consumers of goods and images in the mall. The world resembles the shopping mall in the way war is embodied throughout popular culture. War shapes our bodies while defining space and identities ...

(Mental Health Problems, Use of Mental Health Services, and Attrition from Military Service After Returning From Deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan)

Introduction

The article “Mental Health Problems, Use of Mental Health Services, and Attrition from Military Service after Returning from Deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan” is authored by Charles W. Hoge, Jennifer L. Auchterlonie, and Charles S. Milliken. The context of the research article is that the military of the United States has carried out a population-level screening from mental health problems among the service members who return from deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan among other areas. The objective of ...

Military women in Combat

Integration of the Articles The two articles elicit a lot of emotions on the topic of women in the military. In most instances, our women in the military tend to be sidelined by their male counterparts as there is a general feeling that the ladies in the forces are lesser qualified and physically unable to undertake some certain tasks in the military (Kerrigan, 2012). This leads to situations when women find it hard to be given top ranks in the organization. There is a lot of negative impact of this, as most of these women end up being demoralized ...

Should Everyone Serve Two Years’ Mandatory Military Service?

Should Everyone Serve Two Years’ Mandatory Military Service? As many know in some countries it is mandatory for every young person to serve at least two years of military service in honour of their country. With military and global conflict arisen in this day in age, some suggest that the United States should regulate such a policy, in which it is mandatory for all citizens at a specific legally-consented age to be subject to binding military enrollment. It is in my most humble opinion that it should not be mandatory for all young people to serve a two-year period ...

Abstract

Currently, U.S. Military structures experience a crisis due to the high number of deaths in American military structures because of suicide. The suicide crisis among active duty troops and veterans, many of which have no experience of deployment in war zones, indicates that military sector faces deep-rooted problems. Finding the solutions for military suicide prevention is not easy and momentary. On the basis of relevant articles and statistics, this paper summarizes the main reasons of military suicide commitment, taking into account the actions for suicide prevention. It also aims to identify why multiple governmental programs and initiatives in this ...

Although the number of deaths of military service members in the recent times has significantly reduced, there are still many of them who do not die but suffer severe injuries. For instance, in Korea and Vietnam, approximately three Americans were wounded for every one officer who died. In Iraq, sixteen soldiers get sick or are wounded for every person who dies. Additionally, those who do return injured are usually amputees or injured in such a way that it will take many years for treatment, both physical and psychological, for them to heal. Therefore, it is important that civilian counselors ...

Introduction

Firearms policies of the United Kingdom are one of the strictest in the world. As a result, the rates of homicides and other violent crime are reported to be the lowest (Uttley 2006; Squires, 2014)). Today’s research shows that only 0,05 intentional murders involving the use of civilian firearms have been recorded per 100,000 inhabitants in 2013 (Van Kesteren, 2013). Moreover, only 2.3% of all homicides perpetrated in the country involved the use of guns (Office for National Statistics 2015). The only one killing spree to have ever happened in the United Kingdom was the notorious ...

Vietnamese War: Impact on American society

There are only a few episodes of modern history that have impacted the US American society severely. Other than Pearl Harbor and 9/11, it was the Vietnam War. The war lasted till 1975. Post WW-II the American society gradually has gathered an opinion that their nation was the most powerful, invincible, and morally supreme and it had to take the responsibility for the world. They felt that America had to ensure the world would not go the evil way. In addition to the Leaders, most US laity thought Communism to be an evil. If the US Americans of that ...

Introduction

Regarded as the icon of German militarism, Paul von Hindenburg was one of the most popular field marshals, politicians and the second president of Germany. Hindenburg, a man of discipline and fortitude, served gloriously in the Prussian army retiring from the military in 1911. However, during the World War I, he was called back in service to serve the nation and he, with the help of his deputy, Erich Ludendorff, fought the Russian army victoriously bringing glorious victories in the eastern front of Germany.

Because of his immense popularity as a war hero, he was nominated to run for the German ...

- Anciet Greece was primarily characterized by the influence of its two city-states – Athens and Sparta. Although Athens and Sparta are geographically adjacent to one another, both have fostered different ways of living – the former known for its superfluity and the latter for its stark plainness. Athens, for its part, is highly engrossed in academic fields of arts and sciences.

Although military service is available in Athens, it is not compulsory for all people in the city-state. However, women are severely limited in Athens, in that they were disallowed from tending to businesses, forbidden from participating in ...

The hegemonic status of the United States military results in unequal and unfair treaties with other, less powerful countries; these treaties often include clauses that make prosecuting the US military men difficult. In this essay, I argue that the military power of the US has created a culture for American soldiers which eliminates potential consequences for violent crimes; this culture has led to an increase in violence against women from other countries as well as against women within the United States military. Assault, murder, and rape by the US military personnel go unpunished. These acts of violence are perceived in ...

Introduction

Posttraumatic stress disorder afflicts large swaths of the US defense forces. The problem is increasing due to multiple deployments of American forces. While the Department of Defense (DoD) and the US Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) are taking steps to mitigate the dangers posed by PTSD on American society, greater synergy and collaboration can be instituted. While the percentage of service personnel afflicted from PTSD is huge, care must be taken to separate those claiming disabilities purely from the economical viewpoint.

Thesis Statement

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) needs to be tackled with greater synergy and collaboration between the DoD and VA, ...

Confidentiality is of great importance both in the civilian and military life. This is especially so when it comes to treatment. Some patients require that the psychotherapists should keep their information a secret due to the consequences of releasing the information. On the other hand, confidentiality in the military service is necessary and the officers are not supposed to reveal any confidential information that may affect the activities of the military. The military service believes that all their activities should be kept secret. However, this is sometimes dangerous to the officers. This research paper will evaluate the differences between civilian ...

The reason I find this particular type of research (second language acquisition, particularly of Arabic) appealing is my fascination with intercultural studies and the difficulty of defense language learning. Because Arabic is such a uniquely difficult language for an English speaker, due to their dramatic structural differences, finding new and better ways to learn it is vitally important.

I know many people in the military; as a result, I have several preconceptions toward military and American attitudes toward Arabic as a language. Often, cultural attitudes toward Arabs and the like are relatively negative; the aggression and violence bred by military service, combined ...

Introduction There is an unresolved debate among scholars and historians as to whether the Navajo Code Talkers represent a group of American Indians who were exploited by the United States military. Alternatively, whether the Navajo Code Talkers represent a moment in United States history when Native American men came forward to help defend the country against a great evil. Before the Navajo Code Talkers, the United States had employed Native Americans in various military capacities. During the colonial period, Native Americans had been hired by the military to act as scouts and sometimes as fighters. During the United States Civil War, Native ...

If I had to choose a legend in the world of boxing, this title would definitely belong to Muhammad Ali, as no other person stayed even barely close to the great man of all times. “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” is an expression, that became Muhammad Ali’s calling card, and later was developed into a boxing tactics for many amateurs and professionals. The story of Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. (Muhammad Ali’s real name) is not a legend of a boy from a poor family, who decided to use the help of professional sports in order to avoid poverty. His parents ...

The reasons that drive a Government to make the military service mandatory can be varied, depending on the socio-economic, political and geographic position of the country. Nations like Israel or South Korea, with lesser population and troubled neighborhood may ...

Answer any 5 of the questions

America feared that the Cold War would inspire the Soviet communism nurture egalitarian societies, and prompt the colored people inside and outside America to remain marginal between capitalism and communism. This inspired American policy makers to undermine their practice of discriminating the colored communities. Thus, during the 1960s America witnessed radicalization of anti-racism movements. The Cold War affected the Asian Americans in different ways. First and foremost, a vociferous call by Asian Americans against racism would invite condemnation of the white Americans. Nevertheless, famed Americans of Asian origin voiced against racism. Until the year 1950, the Japanese were kept beyond ...

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been brought to the public’s attention by the problems experienced by veterans returning from military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Up to 13 percent of military personnel coming back to America are afflicted with the disorder (Friedman, 2014). There is a current controversy concerning the military discharging soldiers for pre-existing mental conditions rather than following up with care for PTSD. The question emerges as to whether PTSD, which is no longer considered an anxiety disorder, is a continuation of pre-existing mental illness or develops as a separate syndrome under stressful conditions. This paper presents information for ...

Social Identity Formations in Transnational Culture

The film, the best Years of our Lives is an indication of the cultural artifact of the formation of the social identity in the transnational culture. There are many hurdles, and one has to face several difficulties in order to gain, and then maintain its social identity in the transnational culture. It is also represented in the film, in which it is shown that the characters are facing difficulty to regain the social identity as civilian after the World War II. It represents some extraordinary and complex situations, and problems at the political unconscious level, within its wish to ...

Introduction

This essay provides reasons why a mandatory period of national service (either civilian or military) for all young U.S. citizens is not a good idea. The concept of universal service arises from time to time, and in this instance surfaced following remarks made by General Stanley McChrystal at the 2012 Aspen Ideas Festival. He is quoted as saying that “our notion of ‘service’ had become dangerously narrow, with less than one percent of Americans serving in our military, and challenged us to explore new pathways and opportunities for service to country.” Those remarks of his triggered the Aspen Institute to launch a ...

Inequalities in terms of religion, race, age, sexual orientation, and gender has a deep-rooted history, yet is rarely openly discussed in the past even by those who directly experience discrimination. Women were discriminated upon when it comes to employment during World War I and continued on to World War II. There was initial fear that men could lose their jobs or affect men’s wages when they return to work as the government also provided the same salary to women who performed men’s jobs. With the continued employment of women, instances of discrimination increased and solidified resulting to women ...

Veterans are people who have had long service and experience in a given field or occupation. Majority of the war veterans have had a direct exposure to activities of war, death and armed combats. They are often referred to as veterans because of the selfless sacrifices that they make on behalf of defending the needs and interest of their fellow citizens. Military veterans usually receive special treatment from their countries and fellow citizens because of the enormous sacrifices they make during wars. Numerous countries offer to support their veterans and to honor them while others may choose to ignore them. War ...

Summary of the Employment-at-Will Doctrine

The employment-at-will doctrine is the basis for employer/employee relationships in most states in the United States. In essence, employment at will gives business and companies in America the ability to fire an employee whenever they want for any reason. The only exceptions to the employment at will doctrine is when it occurs illegally, in violation of public policy for the state or municipality under which the company or branch is run. Other exceptions include implied contracts, in which oral assurances are made between employee and employer to build certain expectations of employment, illegal discrimination against race, color, age or ...

Increase of PTSD in the Military

Psychology Increase of PTSD in the Military

Introduction

In the post cold war era, there was widespread hope for the end of armed conflict. However, such hopes were belied. Instead of long-drawn standoffs between the major powers of the world, the nature of conflict became more variegated and localized. Added to the larger number of smaller scale conflicts was the new phenomenon of a ‘clash between civilizations.’ Islamic movements challenged the supremacy of the United States, which had emerged as the sole superpower on the global stage. The new realities have forced the United States to continue to deploy military ...

Israel has a very turbulent history, with the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Egyptians, the Romans, and the Arabs seizing the lands and subjugating Jews who proved unable to withstand the onset of foes for want of a strong army. In the 20th century, when the Ottoman Empire was on its last legs, it was the high time Israel rose from the ashes. The British authorities took control over Palestine in 1917 and went on to have diaspora Jews immigrate to their historical homeland is a series of what is known as Aliyah. Granted a mandate by the UN, the British Crown boosted further waves ...

This memo is about my future career as a military officer. I am currently pursuing a course in human resource, a course that will enable me understand the management of people within the military forces. Becoming a military officer has its advantages and disadvantages, which I will discuss in this memo. Most people go into the military forces mainly to pay back their educational loans and achieve some leadership experience.

The first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights claims “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood” (United Nations). This means that people all over the world should live in peace and respect each other’s rights and freedoms no matter what race, color, ethnicity, and sex they represent.

Introduction

Same sex marriage has become a polarizing issue in both state and national politics as well as religious platforms. In the United States alone, fourteen states including California, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Washington among others, states have legalized same sex marriages either through court decisions, state legislations or through popular votes. However, some other states such as Alabama, Arizona, Alaska, Kentucky, and Missouri among several others have banned same sex marriages by constitutional amendments and state laws, or constitutional amendments or state laws only. The polarizing views on gay marriages can also be witnessed on religious groups with some ...

The Congress should pass the Dream Act. The first reason for this is that education is one of the fundamental ways of changing countries, for instance, the Soviet Union lessons from the fallen Wall and resulted into compulsory public education within the country. Secondly, the Defense Department's Strategic Plan for 2010-12 Fiscal Years makes an inclusion of the DREAM Act to be a way of helping shape as well as maintain mission-ready for all-volunteer forces. Third, the youth are the future and the promise of the state and nation, and hence the need to have them afforded opportunities of fulfilling ...

The issue of illegal immigration in the United States is an extremely polarizing issue, one which divides Americans and is a constant hot button issue in American politics. Illegal immigration can be defined as the entry of a non-legal citizen who has not gone through proper legal channels to gain residency in the United States. These individuals reside in the country and even work within it, all while not being registered or legally recognized as an official US citizen. Most illegal immigrants in America come from Mexico and other Latin American nations, and can be found in all areas of the ...

According to (Heather and Cobb-Clark, 2006), sexual harassment is one of the issues that affect the workplace in the modern society. The consequences associated with sexual harassment include: reduced psychological well-being, physical health problems and symptoms of traumatic stress (Anonymous, 2010). Erin, (2006) argues that in the military, these conditions are becoming common, and violate all the United States Army purports to represent. Sexual harassment and sexual assault refer to conditions whereby sexual contact is intended through circumstances where force, threats, intimidation or abuse of authority are applied (Anna, 2012). On a wider scale it may include situations such as ...

Introduction

Army recruiters have continued to strategize on how to maximize recruitment of officers from the public. However, majority of their target group is high school students who have completed and graduated with a diploma. In fact, they went ahead to create a database with all the personal information of individuals aged between 16 – 25 years. This may imply intrusion of privacy of their target groups, most of which are high school students and a few who have graduated. This even went over board when the 2002 act of “No child left behind” was passed. The act required that all beneficiaries of federal ...

Gay marriage is one of the controversial issues, not only in the United States, but also all parts of the world.

Until recently, gay people were excluded from participating in the military service. Significant evolutions have been experienced over time with regard to the issue of ...

Feudalism is a hierarchical political, economic and military system whereby a king exchanges land or a gift for protection in the Middle Ages. There was instability due to the fall of Rome and trade, security and communication came to a halt and this forced the kings to strike a deal with the nobles with land in exchange for military service, taxes and food from the peasants. This system helped European civilization lift itself out of the Dark Ages. The feudal system was a bond in which people were linked in a chain of common obligations to each other. Even though the conditions for the bond were ...

Comparing and Contrasting Proponents and Opponents’ Perception on High School Military
