According to the text, crime has been part of the human condition since people began to live in groups. Ancient documents indicate that conduct we now call murder, theft, or robbery was identified as criminal by civilizations that existed thousands of years ago. Criminal laws regulate human conduct and tell people what they can and cannot do and, in some instances, what they must do under certain circumstances. In this assignment, you will explore different types of criminal conduct and the goals of criminal law. 

 

Write a four to six (4-6) page paper in which you: 

 

1. Determine whether or not the Ex Post Facto Clause can be used as a defense to prohibit the increase in federal minimum/mandatory sentencing guidelines after a federal defendant has committed the crime. Provide a rationale to support your position.  
2. Explain the distinction between criminal, tort, and moral wrongs. Next, support or criticize the premise that the standards set by moral laws are higher than those set by criminal law.  
3. Identify and discuss the differences between solicitation of another to commit a crime and a conspiracy to commit a crime. Next, support or criticize the use of the unilateral approach to conspiracy convictions.   
4. Identify the four (4) goals of criminal law, and discuss the manner in which these four goals effectuate the purpose of protecting the public and preventing the conviction of innocent persons.  
5. Use at least three (3) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar types of websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: 

 

· How did more than one theory of abnormal psychology develop? Explain your answer.

 

· How can a basic understanding of normal and abnormal behavior affect you, your family, and your workplace? Explain your answer. 

Confucius wrote of the “Superior Person,” in which every normal human being cherishes the aspiration to become superior to their own past and present as they set their sights on “perfect virtue.”  When the basic Confucian principles and his notion of ren (pp. 207-208) are guided by virtue, relationships should work a certain way. 

 

At the heart of Daoism philosophy is the concept that the universe works harmoniously according to its own ways and we should be in harmony with the universe. The principle underlying our oneness with the Tao is that of wu-wei, or “non-doing.”

Many in America say we have lost our virtues and we are too chaotic. 

 

• Identify and explain at least three (3) aspects of wu wei and Confucian virtues that would be practical in the busy lives of Western city dwellers. 
• Then discuss whether you could adopt these practices. Why or why not? 

Confucius said, “He who learns but does not think is lost; he who thinks but does not learn is in danger.” Explain what you think Confucius meant by this saying. Do you apply it to your life?

Use the web or other resources to research at least two criminal or civil cases in which  recovered files played a significant role in how the case was resolved.

 

 

 

atleast 500 words.

Although this document is intended to guide states and selected urban areas in developing and/or revising their homeland security strategies, it provides any reader with information on national goals and standards. This provision is important because it helps other sovereignties place their localities in a larger context and serves to help align strategies to a degree, across the state and the country. To compel compliance, DHS grant dollars are often tied to the inclusion of certain elements of such guidance, especially the National Preparedness Goal (found in this document).

 

As you review this guidance, notice how many ways collaboration, coordination, cooperation, sharing, and similar terms and concepts are used or implied. These references will serve well as you complete the final project for the course, which is the following:

 

• Prepare a paper of 7–9 pages that analyzes the relationship between various agencies involved in homeland security, and develop at least 3 specific strategies to improve collaboration and cooperation between the agencies.
• You may select any agencies that you’d like to approach as you build your three strategies, but consider carefully how certain methods and techniques might work better for certain types of entities, government levels, sectors, or bodies. For example, if you are a state’s emergency manager who is working on a strategy for improved collaboration with transportation partners, might your approach to elicit cooperation from corporate partners be different that those used by a state to a city?
• Your strategies should make clear the advantages of coordination plus the tools to achieve it. As you are asked to draft three strategies, determine how you will separate these: by function (example, information sharing); targeting entity or type of organizations (example: private sector owners and operators of critical infrastructure); governmental level (example: county-to-county peer-level agreements for mutual support), etc. (You may use any of these examples in your assignment.)
• To aid you in completing this assignment, revisit activities and materials covered during the term. You may also choose to locate real-world state, community, or corporate strategies, many of which are available through open-source avenues.
  • For a tip, you may elect to represent a real or hypothetical agency or governmental body as you approach this assignment; it may help you maintain focus as you progress.
• Ensure that each strategy is well organized, clearly delivered, mechanically sound, and comprehensive in content. Although strategies generally do not include citations, remembering that this is an academic product, you should properly reference the source of any material or ideas that are not original.

 What role do audiences play in creating popular culture? Explain how Hollywood both manipulated and reflected the popular culture of the 1950’s and 60’s. Analyze a popular film of the time. This paper should be 2-3 pages, in APA style, utilizing the college’s library resources. One scholarly article as a minimum should be included in your essay.
