Incident 2.2 What options does Jane have? What influence, if any, would the federal government have in this case? Solution Incident 2.2 What options does Jane have? What influence, if any, would the federal government have in this case? ANSWER: The Samson Option is the name that some military analysts have given to Israel\'s hypothetical deterrence strategy of massive retaliation with nuclear weapons as a \"last resort\" against nations whose military attacks threaten its existence.[1][not in citation given][2] Commentators also have employed the term to refer to situations where non-nuclear, non-Israeli actors, have threatened conventional weapons retaliation. Two examples have been given: Yassir Arafat[3] and Hezbollah[4] The name is a reference to biblical character Samson who pushed apart the pillars of a Philistine temple, bringing down the roof and killing himself and thousands of Philistines who had captured him[5], crying out \"God \'Let me die with the Philistines!\'\" While an executive may be any corporate \"officer\"—including president, vice president, or other upper-level manager—in any company, the source of most comment and controversy is the pay of chief executive officers (CEOs) of large publicly traded firms. Most of the private sector economy in the United States is made up of such firms where management and ownership are separate, and there are no controlling shareholders. This separation of those who run a company from those who directly benefit from its earnings, create what economists call a \"principal–agent problem\", where upper-management (the \"agent\") has different interests, and considerably more information to pursue those interests, than shareholders (the \"principals\"). .
