Since the terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001, there has been a real push in local law enforcement agencies—especially large ones—to incorporate intelligence-led policing techniques. A part of that strategy has been the creation of fusion centers in all fifty states intended to facilitate the sharing of police intelligence information between federal, state, and local agencies. Consider the Lambert (2010) article, “Intelligence-Led Policing in a Fusion Center” and the “US Government Accountability Office (GAO) Report on Fusion Centers” in the Webliography. The creation of fusion centers and their operations have not been without controversy. Many civil libertarians have expressed concern that instead of focusing only on real threats, fusion centers encourage the government’s suspicion toward law-abiding citizens and groups that are suspected of potential hostility toward government. Tasks: Write a 2- to 3-page paper. In the paper: •Take a definitive stand, with explanations, for or against the use of fusion centers as a local law enforcement tool. •Discuss how these centers may be abused to violate citizen rights. •Explain the difference between the cooperation that occurs through fusion centers and that through other kinds of multiagency activities, such as task forces and joint investigations. •Identify and discuss the possible steps or policies to minimize concerns that some have raised about potential abuses. Feel free to do additional research on the topic of fusion centers, beyond the reading that has been assigned to further improve your paper. Submission Details: •Save the report as M4_A2_Lastname_Firstname.doc. •By Wednesday, August 12, 2015, submit your report to the M4: Assignment 2 Dropbox.

To complete this assignment, read through the scenario below and address the specific questions and issues indicated. Review the “Introduction to the Miller Family” document for specific information on each member of the family. Grandmother Ella has been dealing with cancer for years now and has tried alternative remedies and juicing. She went into remission for some time, but now the cancer has returned and she is in the hospital. Her husband, of American Indian descent, has his ideas about what needs to be done as Ella comes to the end of her life. Ella has her preferences, though she is now so weak that she has given up in many ways. The family members are each experiencing their own fears and are grieving as they face the loss that will occur as Ella’s life comes to a close. Ella prefers to die at home and has felt stressed by the discord and discomfort of family members since being hospitalized. You are the social worker for this case. You meet this family in the hospital setting as they are considering whether the patient will remain there for her final days or whether hospice and palliative care will be provided for her in her home. For this assignment, you will: 1. Synthesize the current research that is relevant to this scenario. 2. Discuss the cultural or traditional issues that could arise at this time. Consider how the integration of alternative and complementary medicine and beliefs, mainstream medical practices, and cultural/traditional rituals and practices might create issues and what they might include. o Describe how the family might react to the following possible scenarios:  Ella wishes to stick with alternative and complementary practices.  Ella is coerced into following mainstream medical advice.  Ella’s husband insists that, as father and husband, his family traditions should be adhered to. o Examine the biological basis for care and describe how the choices for care might affect the other family members with respect to their individual problems, if at all.  Son Sam, the alcoholic  Daughter Lila, with diabetes  Grandson Josh, starting to have drug problems  Granddaughter Lucy, bipolar with more entrenched drug problems  Daughter-in-law, Sarah’s stress related to her family’s medical issues (nephew with leukemia, brother with HIV, and her father’s perspective that they are all “crazy!”) 3. Discuss the micro, mezzo, and macro influences affecting both the patient and the diverse family members in this scenario as impacted by Ella’s medical condition and prognosis. o What are the pertinent and likely family (micro) conflicts and differences, and concerns that could be encountered? o How is the neighborhood and extended family (mezzo) reacting to the situation? o If she returns home, what considerations need to be taken into account as part of her discharge plan? Using your local area, research and present the needed or preferred community resources (macro) that would be available to them. Critique the ability of these community resources to adequately meet the needs of this diverse family’s circumstances. 4. Discuss the relevant medical issues and the advantages and disadvantages of hospital versus home. When discussing medical issues in this case, use appropriate medical terminology. 5. Discuss the psychological and social issues that are present and will possibly be more pronounced at this stressful time. How has the fact that this illness has been ongoing (chronic) impacted the family? 6. Analyze the current scenario as it pertains to diversity, as well as to cultural, psychological, and social perspectives and influences, taking into account the stories that you have been discussing throughout the course. 7. Discuss the impact of lifespan development on the perspectives of the various members of the family (i.e., their intellect, cognitive abilities, insight, and judgment) as well as their sociocultural perspectives, preferences, understandings, and positions on the situation. Writing the Final Paper The Final Paper: 1. Must be eight to ten double-spaced pages in length, and formatted according to APA style as outlined. 2. Must include a title page with the following: a.

Write an essay which explains what John Rawls means by “veil of ignorance” and “original position” and how these concepts are connected to the two principles of justice for which he argues. What are those two principles, and how do the “veil of ignorance” and “original position” help Rawls to find them? Why does Rawls use these hypothetical devices to find his fundamental principles of justice? What problems do these devices help Rawls to overcome? Write for an audience that is unfamiliar with the problem of social justice and with Rawls’s theory of justice; think about what such an audience would need to know in order to gain an understanding of Rawls’s principles and how he arrives at them. MUST BE A FULL THREE PAGES ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM, PLEASE…

Question: Antitrust Practices and Market Power Research authoritative articles using the news and the DeVry Online Library (http://library.devry.edu) for a recent case of antitrust investigation. You are free to choose a case from any industry and any part of the world. Based on the case you have selected, answer the following questions. 1. Why was/were the firm(s) investigated for antitrust behavior? 2. Identify some of the costs (pecuniary and nonpecuniary) associated with the antitrust behavior (firms having power in the market). Additionally, note the specific antitrust act (Sherman Act, Clayton Act, etc.) under which the violation was investigated. 3. Given your research and findings, are monopolies and oligopolies (firms demonstrating power) always bad for society? Be sure to provide real world examples of where this may be the case to strengthen your position. 4. Provide at least one example of a case where having a monopoly or oligopoly may actually benefit the society. Based on your findings to the questions listed above, write a report with a minimum of 300 words in essay format in APA style (use the APA template in Doc Sharing), using correct economic terms covered in the discussions. If you ONLY write 300 words, you probably won’t be able to fully answer the questions. Key concepts to include in your paper include the following. Monopoly Market Structure Oligopoly Market Structure Barriers to Entry Into the Market Natural Monopoly Government Monopoly Downward Sloping Demand Curve Economies of Scale Price Fixing Collusion Monopoly Pricing Price Maker Market Power Economic Profits Imperfect Competition Rent-Seeking Behavior X-Inefficiency Deadweight Loss to Society Marginal Cost Marginal Revenue Antitrust You must use at minimum at least one article from the DeVry Online Library.

Article Critique: Self-Disclosure, Gender, and Communication Review the article entitled, “Can we talk?” and Section 2.2 of our text titled “Biological Sex and Gender.” Based on what you’ve learned in these readings, write a two-page paper (excluding title and reference pages) about your thoughts on this article. In your paper, be sure to address the following: •Can you relate to this article on self-disclosure in relationships? If so, explain what specifically you could relate to and provide examples of your own experiences. If not, what has your experience been regarding self-disclosure in your intimate relationships? •Do you agree that self-disclosure is important and directly related to satisfaction in relationships? Why or why not? •What about gender differences? Remember, although research has found differences in gender communication, it has also found similarities. What kind of similarities between genders have you experienced? •Lastly, remember that although research is based on generalizations, not everyone fits into these generalizations regarding gender. Do you feel like you fit into the generalizations? Be sure to reference the article and at least one of your other course readings from this week in your paper. This can be your textbook or one of the recommended articles. The paper must be formatted according to APA style. Cite your resources in text and on the reference page.

Geoffrey Colvin’s article “What it takes to be great” is about how “success” or “talent” is really the outcome of hard work, tremendous practice, and mental approach, and not because of innate intelligence or natural talent. This applies to sports, school, business, and the arts. In a well-developed essay, citing specific examples from the text, discuss 1) what steps Colvin suggests (or implies) we should take, and 2) explain 1 or 2 real-life, detailed examples that show how you have, or have not, applied this principle of hard-work-equals-success.

*Please note, I’m looking for you to explain Colvin’s argument. What is specific to Colvin’s point? Colvin mentions specific keys (“deliberate practice,” adopting a new mind-set, etc.). Your discussion of Colvin needs to specific to his principles, not a general hard work equals success. Consider what Colvin tells his reader that is different than what you’ve heard before.

Things to keep in mind while writing:

1. Carefully select one of the intro types to start your essay.
2. Include the author and title of the article in your introduction.
3. Provide a thesisthat identifies the steps Colvin suggests we take andexplains what you have achieved/not achieved and how it relates to what you’ve learned from the reading.
4. Part I of the prompt requires you to explain Colvin’s theory. Your reader needs to see that you can identify and explain Colvin’s argument. (It doesn’t matter if you agree with his argument; you must show you can identify and discuss his argument. This is both a reading and writing skill that your audience will be looking for.)
5. Part II of the prompt requires you to apply Colvin’s theory to your life. Provide detailed, real-life examples that discuss what you have achieved because of this hard-work-equals-success principle or what you have failed to achieve because of your lack of this hard-work-equals-success principle.
6. Use concrete rather than abstract language– help the reader live your experience.
7. Connect your experience/ideas back to Colvin’s text.Strive to reach a balance in this essay. 50% Colvin and 50% your experience is ideal, but 40%-60% is acceptable.
8. Include at leastfour quotes from the reading and be sure to use correct MLA citations.
9. Alldiscussion must come from the text or your personal experience. Do not use any other sources. (Starting lines are the only exceptions.)
10. Do not use outside resources. Your reader expects to see that you read the text and can use it for support. Do not use the Internet or any other resources with this essay.
11. Start each paragraph with a topic sentence that identifies one main point.
12. Each paragraph must develop the topic sentence, be developed around one idea, and must be a complete unit with a transition.
13. Your conclusion must restate your thesis and tie your ideas together. Remember- no new ideas in the close.
14. Proof read for grammatical errors and run spell check.When you use the title of an article, be sure to use quotation marks.

Your final draft should be between 3 ½ and 4 pages in length. Use 12 point Times New Roman and double-space your paper. Put your name, instructor’s name, course and section, and date in the upper left hand corner. SeePocket Keys for specific MLA format (spacing, margins, etc.) This essay is worth 130 points.

In order to be eligible for a revision, you must: 1) Have a complete essay – at least 3 ½ pages in length. 2) Have Attempted to follow the above rubric. 3) Included at least a 40%-60% balance between your discussion of Colvin and your personal example. When your graded essay is returned, you will receive a grade along with suggestions for revision. The suggestions will include how many additional points you could earn based on the level of revision completed; in most cases, the additional points available will allow you to raise your essay grade by 10%. So although you can revise for a higher grade, it’s imperative that you submit your best possible work on the first draft of the essay. (In other words, don’t rush through the essay just to get something in; an essay that fails will not be able to move from an F to a C on revision.)

Use this model to help you brainstorm and organize your essay.

Task 1: Identify two or three concepts of Colvin’s that contribute to his hard-work-equals-success principle. (These concepts must be specific points of Colvin’s discussion – not just hard work equals success.)

Task 2: Find a section in the text where each concept is discussed. Each time you use an example from the text, you will have to integrate it ethically. This means you will need to use MLA Style to introduce and/or cite the source in your essay.

Task 3: Brainstorm an example(s) from your own life when you have exemplified this quality (or when you failed to).

Although there are many ways you can organize your essay, you might want to try a point by point arrangement. A point by point arrangement will go back and forth between what Colvin suggests we do and what you did (or failed to do). It is up to you whether you want to discuss two or three of his principles; this sample outline shows how you might want to organize your essay with a discussion of three principles. If you choose to only discuss two principles you can eliminate the extra paragraphs. Here is a general/suggested outline following a point by point arrangement:

1. Intro
2. Provide an interesting starting line to draw the reader in.
3. Name the author and title of thearticle.
4. Give background/general information on the topic.
