The study evaluates the approaches in relation to objectives and explains how the selected approach can pave way for achievement of particular objective. KKK Introduction to KKK Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is an American organisation whose agenda is to promote racism (Wheeler 2005) violence
On the other hand, the followers of KKK should be taught the lesson of equality and respect for people belonging to other races. There is an extreme where people are fighting for animals (Yount 2007) and hurting the interest of human beings (Bohacik 2008), whole on other extreme, people themselves are killing people just to promote their race and secure future of their kids
While such terrorists cause relatively smaller attacks, they are a significant threat to the commercial sector because of the probable impacts of their activities. The reality of increased terrorist threat to the commercial sector is also evident in the recent use of commercial airlines to destroy significant business hubs such as World Trade Center's towers (Brandt, 2011)
In the past decade, terror activities against the United States have been carried out for the main purpose of defeating the country economically. As a result, individual motivations and community support are important issues in understanding the recruitment of terrorists within the United States (Cragin, 2009)
Apart from the increased vulnerability of commercial facilities to terrorist attacks and the diverse and evolving nature of these threats, the commercial sector is also more susceptible to the terrorist threat because of the decentralization of terrorists. Since the 9/11 attacks, terrorist networks have become more decentralized to an extent that individuals with no link to a particular terrorist organization or network are causing devastation (Hanford, 2010)
1). Motivations for Terrorist Organizations: As the threat and impact of terrorism has continued to evolve and become a major threat to global security, the ideological motivations for these activities have also evolved (Lemieux & Prates, 2011, p
The other aspects of these definitions include immorality, social coercion, and reactions. However, terrorist groups and activities continue to pose significant threats to every facet of the modern society including the commercial sector (Raman, 2008, p
For instance, while the 9/11 attacks were carried out to cause widespread fear within the United States and across the world, they had significant impacts on the country's commercial sector and the entire economy. The costs of the attack on the country's economy were beyond the loss of life and property destructions (Richardson, Gordon & Moore II, 2009, p
While the public sector has taken the primary responsibility to respond to the increased risk of these activities, the private sector is seeking to complement these initiatives through examining several steps that could help in the process. However, the private sector has not been completely absent from the counter-intelligence or counterterrorism field (Sims, 2008, p
The 9/11 attacks also caused disruptions in financial markets that threatened unfavorable effects on the usual operations of a wide set of newly susceptible industries. Actually, the reactions by the commercial sector and the business environment demonstrated the degree of trauma caused by the incident to people and structures (Suder, 2004, p
Bush's presidency, especially following the terrorists attacks on 9/11, which were broadcast over and over on television, the public opinion on Bush's handling of his job was sky high, with 90% approval; however, by February, 2007, as the unpopular Iraq war dragged on, and a majority of Americans opposed it, Bush's approval ratings dropped to 32%. The channels that brought a change in public opinion were mainly television (Bardes, et al
Public Opinion How is public opinion formed and what are some of the influences that go into public opinion? According to a scholarly sociological study in the journal Political Behavior, there are four central concepts related to the forming of public opinion. The first is heuristics: they are "common judgmental shortcuts that people use to draw complicated inferences" and hence, make decisions; typically, those shortcuts are endorsements, affiliation with a certain party, polls, and the demographics the candidate reflects (Druckman, et al
Both opinions further demonstrate the importance of the Court of Federal Claims to contract law, because the Tucker Act makes the Court the preeminent authority on large government contracts, which have rapidly become one of the most lucrative kinds of employment for large firms. Anytime something happens with these (sometimes multibillion dollar) contracts, the Court of Federal Claims hears the case, such as "a multibillion dollar government contracts claim regarding the B-2 stealth bomber [and] a multibillion dollar claim and $111 million award to Hughes Aircraft for unauthorized government use of its satellite guidance technology" (Carter, 1997, p
At issue was a contract between the Hartford Fire Insurance Company and the Army Corps of Engineers, and in particular whether or not the Corps had wrongly disbursed funds to another contractor with whom Hartford was associated. In that case, the government argued (among other things) that "any lawsuit Hartford might have would be more akin to an impairment of suretyship claim, which cannot be maintained against the United States" (Futey, 2012, p
As will be seen, this judgment was ultimately worthless, not because the decision was overturned on appeal per se, but rather because jurisdictional confusion meant that the Oklahoma district court was not even in a place to rule on it. The intersection of federal and state law has only become more important over the last few decades, as companies (and the federal government) increasingly engage in contracts across state boundaries and through complex partnerships, such that courts are forced to determine whether state or federal law has priority in areas previously uncommented on by the higher courts (Kahan & Rock, 2011, p
The United States was originally between the United States (by way of the United States Army Corps of Engineers) and the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway Company (colloquially known as "the Katy"). In 1959 the Corps was trying to develop "a flood control project called the Eufala Dam and Reservoir," and "to accommodate the resulting man-made lake, adjacent properties would have to be altered significantly," including an adjacent property owned by the Katy (Lettow, 2012, p
1295). This is even more true when it comes to railroads, because unlike many other large projects, railways by their nature must cross state lines and are governed by a bevy of different laws, regulations, and codes (Sennewald, 1998, p
As a result, problems or complications with federal contract law can have far-reaching ramifications, not only for the companies involved, but also for the public at large, who frequently deals with these companies or their handiwork without their knowledge. The issue of the Court of Federal Claims' jurisdiction is a serious one, because relatively recent Supreme Court decisions have served to gradually erode that jurisdiction, such that in some cases "two plaintiffs with substantively identical claims may thus end up in different courts, merely because the form of their pleadings differ" (Thies, 2010, p
The United States. In the former case the government attempted to have the case dismissed on the grounds that the plaintiff did not properly file a claim to the government contracting officer, and as such the court did not have subject matter jurisdiction over the claim (Wheeler, 2012, p
However, the cost of healthcare increased so much in the last decades of the 20th century that record numbers of Americans can afford neither long-term health insurance nor the costs of acute medical treatments, which must be borne by healthcare institutions themselves, as well as by all Americans who do pay for health insurance, because premium costs reflect the high price of medical care and materials priced by providers to recoup some of the costs of their services to the uninsured and underinsured individuals to whom they must furnish essential care regardless of their ability to pay for those services. Critics of American healthcare administration point to less wealthy countries worldwide - Canada, most notably - where all routine healthcare costs have been absorbed by the government (Madore 2003) for decades
