The term paper consists of two parts. Part 1 – select a domestic or international terrorist organization that threatens the U.S. homeland and complete a profile of that organization. The group profile should be approximately 50 percent of the final paper and must include a discussion of the group’s ideology, targeting, tactics, capability, and overall goals, analysis of attacks, and any statements or propaganda released by the group. Make sure you have enough information on the group to address all these factors and how it affects the US homeland. Part 2 – use the group profile to conduct an analysis of one or more U.S. homeland security policies studied in module 2, to assess the ability of the policy or policies to counter the threat posed by the group profiled. This analysis should begin with an introduction and explanation of the policy, followed by an analysis addressing the breadth of the information(from part 1) gathered on that terrorist group. The policy you analyze should be consistent with the group; for example, if you choose a domestic terrorist group, it would be improper to analyze the Secure Border Initiative and its ability to counter a domestic threat, because the members of the group are already within the nation’s borders. If you find the policy deficient, make specific recommendations for policy change to counter the threat. If you deem the policy sufficient to counter the threat, explain the rationale for your conclusion. The finished project, including both elements of the paper, should be approximately 12 to 14 double-spaced pages, not including the cover or reference pages but including the abstract, submitted as one document. Make sure you present an introduction and a conclusion tying together both aspects of the paper.

Please write a historiographical essay, Your essay will be assessed based on the strength and quality of your argument as supported by credible, logical evidence. Making an argument means that you make an intervention – in other words, that you enter the conversation with an opinion of your own – among the scholars provided. Utilizing the “they say, I say” template,1 provide an interpretation of the scholarship on the history of science, race, and colonialism to this point in the course and then enter the conversation with this scholarship to stake out your own position. To the degree that you must summarize, summarize with a point. If you use a source from outside our course literature, then cite it. Instead, your essay must provide an analysis of the course literature. Some questions that you may want to consider For example:
•What are the assumptions and limitations behind the “diffusionist” model of the spread of Western science? Why do they matter?
•What is the relationship between Western science and colonialism in Africa? Why does it matter?
•How has capitalism affected the application of Western science in African colonies? Why?
•How have ideas about these relationships changed (i.e. how has the historiography
developed) over the last fifty years? Why?

As you have found through the reading, study, and assignments in this course, there are several designs within qualitative research. Selecting the appropriate design for the research topic is important. To correctly execute qualitative research, after a design is selected and data is collected, calculative and intentional data analysis is the next step. Finally, the qualitative researcher must present the data in a way that adequately conveys the findings and compares findings to published literature. This assignment will give you some experience with analyzing qualitative data on a small scale.

Effective financial reporting depends on sound ethical behavior. Financial scandals in accounting and the businesses world have resulted in legislation to ensure adequate disclosures and honesty and integrity in financial reporting. A sound economy is contingent on truthful and reliable financial reporting.

Instructions:

Read the following scenario.
Answer the questions that follow. (1-2 paragraphs per question)
Reference back to your text book for guidance on how to think through the scenario.
Scenario:

Imagine you are the assistant controller in charge of general ledger accounting at Linbarger Company. Your company has a large loan from an insurance company. The loan agreement requires that the company’s cash account balance be maintained at $200,000 or more, as reported monthly. At June 30, the cash balance is $80,000. You give this update to Lisa Infante, the financial vice president. Lisa is nervous and instructs you to keep the cash receipts book open for one additional day for purposes of the June 30 report to the insurance company. Lisa says, “If we don’t get that cash balance over $200,000, we’ll default on our loan agreement. They could close us down, put us all out of our jobs!” Lisa continues, “I talked to Oconto Distributors (one of Linbarger’s largest customers) this morning. They said they sent us a check for $150,000 yesterday. We should receive it tomorrow. If we include just that one check in our cash balance, we’ll be in the clear. It’s in the mail!”

Questions:

What is the accounting problem that the Linbarger Company faces?

What are the ethical considerations in this case? Provide rationale for why these are ethical considerations.

What are the negative impacts that can happen if you do not follow Lisa Infante’s instructions to wait one more day to post the balance?

Who will be negatively impacted if you do comply? Provide a rationale for why these individuals will be impacted.

What is one alternative that you could pursue in this scenario? Support your recommendations with information you learned in this class.
