Discuss with reference to how one particular country (Finland, Turkey and India are possible examples), in the quest for power and/or security,has interacted with other states in the context of a ‘security dilemma’ or ‘balance of power’.

Answer the following question with a 2000 word essay, written in Chicago referencing style, i.e. using footnotes:
‘A defensive approach to foreign and security policy can be successful in guaranteeing state security’.

Discuss with reference to how one particular country (Finland, Turkey and India are possible examples), in the quest for power and/or security,has interacted with other states in the context of a ‘security dilemma’ or ‘balance of power’.

This question invites you to critically reflect on the various realist concepts, defining and conceptualising defensive and offensive realism in the context of your chosen country. The question allows you to identify and ponder over the country’s understanding of local, regional or global security dilemmas and balances of power, elucidating their origin, logics and effects.

As such, you are encouraged to use the literature and the ideas explored during Unit 1. As a starting point, the following readings can assist you in the initial phase of your research.

3) The Kennedys moved out of their home on Saturday. Their son, Tom, was scheduled to move into the home on Wednesday. On Sunday, James broke into the home and stole the furniture that was left in the home. Did James commit burglary of an occupied structure? Explain your response.

Discuss how the patterns for the two groups are similar and how they are different.

Statistic Problems

Use Excel 2007

In this exercise we will:

Learn how to create a scatterplot.

Use the scatterplot to examine the relationship between two quantitative variables.

Learn how to create a labeled scatterplot.

Use the labeled scatterplot to better understand the form of a relationship.

In this activity, we explore the relationship between weight and height for 81 adults. We will use height as the explanatory variable. Weight is the response variable.

We will then label the men and women by adding the categorical variable gender to the scatterplot. We will see if separating the groups contributes to our understanding of the form of the relationship between height and weight.

Question 1:

Describe the relationship between the height and weight of the subjects. To describe the relationship write about the pattern (direction, form, and strength) and any deviations from the pattern (outliers).

So far we have studied the relationship between height and weight for all of the males and females together. It may be interesting to examine whether the relationship between height and weight is different for males and females. To visualize the effect of the third variable, gender, we will indicate in the scatterplot which observations are males and which are females.

Question 2:

Compare and contrast the relationship between height and weight for males and females. To compare and contrast the relationships by gender write about the pattern (direction, form, and strength) and any deviations from the pattern (outliers) for each group.

Discuss how the patterns for the two groups are similar and how they are different.

Which program evaluation model will you use for this evaluation plan,and why?

You are an evaluator who was approached to provide JT Organizational Global (OG) with a proposal to conduct a program evaluation of their emergency management plan.

OG has experienced challenges with employees not following emergency evacuation procedures during a drill. As a result, employees remain in the building during a drill; employees do not go to the appropriate location during the drill; the timeframe to evacuate the building or go to the designated area is not within the designated time; location leaders are not accurately recording employees who arrive at their evacuation location; and the organization employees’ individuals that speak English as a second language. Some of the employees first language is Spanish, Chinese, and French. In addition to language as a problem, the organization understands that some employees do not have access to communication equipment and technology (i.e., mobile phones, iPads, laptops, pagers, instant messenger apps) until three days within the onboarding process.

The organization needs an evaluation conducted to correct the issues within their current system. A total of $10,000 was allocated to the initial processes, and they are willing to invest $30,000 to create an evaluation that will provide the organization with an evaluation that correct the current issues. You have only one week to submit a proposal that outlines an evaluation plan that “gets results.” They want to see a change in employee participation and response. The organization is depending on your expertise and knowledge that will guide them in the right direction and not incur a fine.

They need your help. Provide the organization with a proposal to conduct an evaluation. The proposal should include the processes you will use in completing an evaluation plan.

Design an evaluation proposal to address the following:

1. Explain the objectives of this program evaluation discussed in the scenario.

3. As you discuss the steps in program evaluation, consider the following:

Which program evaluation model will you use for this evaluation plan, and why?

What program evaluation method (Qualitative, Quantitative, or both (Mix-Method) will you use in this evaluation plan, and why?

What type of data (literature, interviews, focus groups…) will you use to complete this evaluation plan?

How will you manage information taken from participants and the organization? Also, what you plan to do with the data you collect.

Consider a discussion on the evaluation principles from outlined by the American Evaluation Association Principles
What is the cost-effectiveness of this evaluation?

4. Use this information to predict the outcomes of your evaluation and the possible policy changes that would result from your evaluation.

5. Ensure all steps of the evaluation process are discussed.

6. End the proposal with a discussion of your fees and why.

Make use of your course reading, and consult valid outside resources for this activity.

In addition to fulfilling the specifics of the assignment, a successful evaluation plan must also meet the following criteria:

Length should be 4–6 pages, excluding your cover and references page, in 12-point font in Times New Roman, doubled space.

Include a title page with full name, class name, section number, and date.

Discuss how you will disseminate the results to interested and sympathetic parties.

Plan a Needs Assessment

In preparation to perform a needs assessment analysis identify a problem in your community, civic organization, or federal government agency. Create a PowerPoint presentation that examines the reason for conducting a program evaluation, why the needs assessment is needed, and the 8 steps in conducting a needs assessment for the chosen problem in the agency. Research information that will support you performing a thorough analysis of the problem through the eight steps:

Step 1: Define the parameters for the needs assessment.

Step 2: Identify the information needed for decision making.

Step 3: Determine what information already exist.

Step 4: Develop a needs assessment plan – that is, a methodology that will structure the data-gathering efforts.

Step 5: Steps you will use to collect the actual data.

Step 6: Discuss what your assessment report will include.

Step 7: Discuss how you will share the results with key stakeholders.

Step 8: Discuss how you will disseminate the results to interested and sympathetic parties.

The PowerPoint presentation should include a title slide, introduction slide, slides discussing the 8 steps with detailed speaker notes explaining each bullet with support to validate your discussion. Additionally, you will include a reference slide at the end, listing all the sources used to complete your PowerPoint.

In addition to fulfilling the specifics of the Assignment, a successful presentation must also meet the following criteria:

Length should be 8–10 substantive slides, excluding title and reference slides; in 18–24 point font (Arial, Verdana, or Georgia are acceptable for this PowerPoint presentation).

Identify areas where your organisation might be vulnerable to security breaches (deliberate or accidental).

Organisational Vulnerabilities

Identify areas where your organisation might be vulnerable to security breaches (deliberate or accidental).

Determine which vulnerabilities might be exploited and how this might be limited.

A vulnerability is a weakness in your information security defences.

To assess your vulnerabilities, you need to understand where your defences are weak.

An annual security self–assessment is a great starting point for identifying your security vulnerabilities.
