The study of the philosophy of friendship provides us with an opportunity to explore the concept of dissimulation and its vital role in friendship. Novelist Marcel Proust believed that friendship was only bearable if we wear masks of good manners. This makes a deep and honest friendship very challenging. He believed that the greatest honesty meant acknowledging that real friendship could never really be fully given or received. Similarly, Immanuel Kant noted: "For everyone has his weaknesses, and these must be kept hidden even from our friends… so that humanity should not be offended thereby. Even to our best friend, we must not discover ourselves as we naturally are and know ourselves to be, for that would be a nasty business" (p. 85). Yet, some philosophers believe that when we do experience those powerful moments of truth and honesty between close friends, and completely let our guards down, it is a moment of great clarity and insight. In those honest moments, a friend becomes another self. One may feel as close to a friend as one does to oneself. Most philosophers recognize this phenomenon, including the French writer Michel de Montaigne, who described this friendship as becoming ”one soul in two bodies.” Aristotle took it further to mean that only in friendship can we truly discover ourselves. Similarly, philosopher Giorgio Agamben shares, “The friend is not another I, but an otherness immanent in self-ness, a becoming other of the self.” Vernon adds: “It’s implying that a close friend is another part of you and that you can only fully become who you are in who they are too” (p. 87). In this week’s reading material, the following philosophers discuss their views on this topic: Aristotle, Kant, Montaigne, Nietzsche, and Schopenhauer. Make sure to incorporate their views as you answer each discussion question. Think about how their views may be similar or different from your own. With two seemingly dichotomous understandings of the nature of friendship, how exactly can both conceptions be true? Is a certain amount of feigning actually necessary in order to achieve a meaningful connection in a friendship? What are the ethical implications of such behavior in friendship? .

The Tea Party movement that started in 2010 is considered by some political analysts as an example of a “grass roots” initiative by frustrated common citizens who seek to influence national policy. In 2011, the Occupy Wall Street movement came into prominence and was immediately compared to the Tea Party. Take the identity of an analyst working for the Criminal Intelligence Bureau (CIB) of the Miami-Dade Police Department. Your Bureau commander has assigned you the task of analyzing these two political movements that are likely to protest during the upcoming DRNC event next year. Your analysis and recommendations will weigh heavily on your command staff’s policy formation as it pertains to these two particular political groups. Conduct your own research and cite at least three sources. Cited properly according to APA style guidelines. Address the following questions: Describe and analyze the Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street movements and determine their underlying motives and their likely involvement in the upcoming DRNC event. How have these movements differed from other political movements in the past? How do the Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street movement differ from one another? What policy recommendations do you make to the Miami-Dade Police Department command staff on how to deal with these two political movements during the upcoming DRNC? .

The Target breach case Study Assignment. In 2013, Target was the victim of a sophisticated data breach that resulted in the loss of consumer information. The attackers infected Target’s Point of Sale (POS) systems and inserted malware that captured every swipe of a Payment Card. During the investigation of this breach, it was determined that it originated from a third-party vendor who didn’t incorporate effective security controls. For this week’s case study, we are going to do a deep dive into Target’s data breach. Your paper must cover the following topics: 1. An overview of how the Target Data breach occurred. For this section, we are looking primarily at when the breach was discovered, how it was discovered, what vector(s) the attackers used, and what was infected. 2. An overview of how Target responded to the breach. For this section, we are looking primarily at what Target did when they were notified of the breach. How quickly did they respond, what steps did they take to respond, and what did they do after the breach was resolved to further reinforce their network. a. What could be done to further secure their network. For this section, we are primarily looking at how Target can improve the security of their network, including vendor/external connections, and how an IDS and/or IPS can be used to increase the security of their network. b. A logical network diagram that shows your proposed network layout that can improve the security of their network, as well as a discussion on why you proposed this network layout. This diagram must cover the following: An outside vendor connection. How does this vendor connect to the Target network? What security precautions are in place on the Target network? An IT network (domain controller, name servers, and other similar IT assets). A POS network. For your POS and IT networks, show whether they connect or not. If you decide they should connect, show how the connection is made, and what security precautions exist on either or both sides of the connection. Include best scholarly sources and security sources. Attached is the Target breach case Study. .

Read FEMA paragraph regarding Hurricane Katrina. Government bureaucrats (or employees) are constant attacks for the media and politicians. · When is the last time a politician took the blame for a failed policy, events, or incident? · It is easier to make officials look bad then explain the complexities of the position. · No matter what side you’re on – the current FBI/President Trump Drama. · To one side he is corrupt president and to the other they are a corrupt agency.

Causes of Failure Accepting the negative image. Despite public perception, most public managers are not incompetent, and are generally as good as the private sector. Perception can become reality for some managers, and their self-image and expectations can be set by external views and create a “psychology of failure”.

The system of federalism was instituted with the writing and authorization of the Constitution in 1787. In dividing power between states and the national government, federalism has undergone challenges to the placement of power. Should power reside primarily in national or in state government? The Civil War was the most dramatic challenge to the placement of power. Southern states argued, under the leadership of John C. Calhoun, that states’ power superseded national power, while northern states, under the leadership of President Abraham Lincoln, stressed the need for union under the leadership and direction of the national government. In the more than two hundred years since the Constitution’s adoption, there have been many changes to the meaning of federalism, with power shifting between state and national governments. In the twentieth century, the shifts of power became largely associated with the national government’s ability to provide increased funding sources. With more funding available, the national government has expanded its impact on all areas of state governments. This increased power has had many advocates and many detractors, each with strong justifications. Research federalism using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Write a paper on federalism. Structure your paper as follows: Define federalism. Explain three advantages of federalism. Explain three disadvantages of federalism. Identify and describe at least two ways in which American federalism has changed since the ratification of the Constitution. Discuss one advantage or disadvantage of federalism most relevant to you. Describe the relationship between contemporary politics and trends in the size and power of the federal government. Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format.
