U.s. Counterintelligence And Covert Operations
U.S. Counterintelligence and Covert Operations
Counterintelligence (CI) involves actions aimed at protecting the United States against foreign
intelligence operations and espionage from penetration and disruption by hostile nations or their
intelligence services (Lowenthal, 2014). Three main components of Counterintelligence include
collection, defensive and offensive. Collection is ability to gather intelligence information about
rivalry capabilities against own nation; defensive part of CI involve measures to prevent and
thwarting other nations attempts to penetration into own nations intelligence system; while offensive
deal with running double agents to penetrate, manipulate, exploit, and control targeted adversaries.
CI is said to be the most essential aspect of the intelligence disciplines, in the sense that collecting
vast quantities of secret information and produce excellent analysis of the intelligence, but
ineffective counterintelligence measures may diminish confidence the final results (Van Cleave,
2013). According to Federal Bureau of Investigation (2011) "Significant advances have been made
in clarifying and rectifying intelligence gaps and requirements through the formation of liaison and
working relationships with other U.S. intelligence community agencies, foreign partners, the private
sector, and academia". For instance, since 2001, FBI CI program has resulted to total arrests of 249,
of which 46 of them were linked to espionage. Counterintelligence (CI)

Cuba And The United States
Introduction A lot has gone on between the United States and Cuba between 1959 and 2015. In
1959, Cuba and the United States cut off diplomatic ties. On December 17, 2014, the United States
and Cuba announced that they would restore diplomatic ties. Diplomatic ties is defined as "The art
or practice of conducting international relations, as in negotiating alliances, treaties, and
agreements" by The Free Dictionary. This means that two countries work together and with other
countries to talk about alliances and make treaties and agreements. When they cut off diplomatic
ties, the United States and Cuba basically had nothing to do with each other on the international
scene.
History of Cuba
Cuba was first discovered by Spanish explorers about 500 years ago. Cuba is the largest country of
the West Indies, which include Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico. Cuba has a population of over
11 million people. They have been shut off from the United States since 1959. They have not gotten
any new cars from the United States since then, so they keep the 1950s cars in use. Fidel Castro
became the Prime Minister of Cuba in 1959 after seizing Havana and overthrowing Fulgencio
Batista.
Havana, La Habana in Spanish, is the largest city in Cuba, as well as the largest city in all of the
Caribbean, and the capital city of Cuba. Havana is also the only major city in Cuba. Havana has a
scenic waterfront and is surrounded by beaches.

According to a Annual Report to Congress on Foreign Economic Collection and Industrial
Espionage (2008), a wide variety of foreign entities have attempted to illegally acquire trade secrets
and US technology a problem attributed to outsourcing research and development. Most companies
in the United States have been encouraging outsourcing research and development as a means
improving themselves in terms of products being universally usable. This has led such companies
setting up bases in foreign countries where such research is carried out. These bases have well been
used as a gateway for economical espionage since foreign entities can easily access such bases and
access information on the said companies or U.S in general. This may be through employees in such
bases, spies or even hacking information systems that are connected the ones in the U.S. Acquisition
of information and technology from such companies has well been used to either disable operations
of such bases or setting up rival companies. It is worth noting that espionage from such bases is hard
trace or quantify. This is because the jurisdiction of such states cannot be influenced or forced to
take measures of such activities due to the nation's sovereignty. Legal cases in such incidents are left
pending for fear of bad international relations and investigations are hardly finished. Economic

War On Drugs And America
War On Drugs Fifteen billion dollars. The possibilities of things to do with fifteen billion dollars are
endless. Some may use this towards college. Others towards health care facilities. Some may even
use this hefty amount to renovate homes and still be left with a fortune to spare. All in all, the
average American would use this currency toward benefit life in some way or another. The U.S
Federal government wished the same when they used these fifteen billion dollars towards the "War
on Drugs" in 2010 alone and continue to use more but the question still remains; does this amount,
which goes towards campaigns against narcotics at the rate of $500 per second, actually benefit

numerous complications still stand in account of drug related cases.

striking gold but along with this hope introduced opium as a long living problem. The drug was

Soviet foreign policy. In February of 1945, at the Yalta Conference held in Russia, the Soviets
proposed German reparations of $20,000,000,000 be paid, half of which would go to the Soviets.
This was a number that was scoffed at by the Grand Alliance. It was evident that Soviet policy
intended to spread communism throughout war–ridden Europe, especially through their reparation
demands. Tensions rose at the Potsdam Conference regarding Soviet behavior in Germany at the
war's end, a working paper of United States delegation stated "Payment of reparations should leave
sufficient resources to enable the German people to subsist without external assistance... all these
removals were in complete violation of all efforts to maintain 'non–war potential' industries in
Germany... What we saw amounts to organized vandalism directed not alone against Germany, but

posed a threat to Soviet existence again by burying them while they were down post–war. A classic

The CIA
Thinking in the philosophical terms of "good" and "evil," nothing purely "good" can survive without
the slightest taint of "evil," and vice–versa. The same standard exists for everything. Just as you
cannot always succeed by being purely honest, a government cannot hold itself together without
committing it's own personal rights and wrongs. The United States of America has protected its
residents well in the past, and kept the appearance of a mild innocense; well, most of it, anyway.

This prevents the theft of secret information and detects the presence of spies in the United States.
Some think the history of espionage goes back to prehistoric times. The bible tells of Moses sending
spies into Canaan. Frederick the Great of Prussia is credited with originating organized espionage.
George Washington's spies obtained intelligence and information during the Revolutionary war. The
CIA's original job was primarily intelligence gathering, but when Communism started to spread, the
National Security Council directed that the agency take part in political, covert, paramilitary, and
economic operations. When the Korean War broke out, the CIA performed these operations, it also
had additional requirements to support the combat forces. In 1950 and 1953, the CIA went through
several changes. An Office of National Estimates was given the mission of projecting future
developments. Overseas operations were placed in one directorate. Another directorate was in
charge of all intelligence production and a third directorate included all support activities. During
this period, up until 1961, the CIA was at the height of its cold war activity. It carried out continuous
foreign intelligence, counterintelligence, political action, and propaganda.3 In 1955, Dwight D.
Eisenhower signed a bill granting $46 million for the construction of a CIA Headquarters Building.

U.s. Foreign Policy Of Containment
–George Kennan George Kennan was a major factor in the U.S. foreign policy of containment,
which was created during the Cold War in order to prevent the spread of Communist ideology of the
Soviet Union in other countries. After World War II, George Kennan, "...a career diplomat and
expert on Russia..."(Roark, Pg.867), had anticipated that the Soviet Union wanted to gain power and
expand Communism throughout other countries, so in order to provide a counterforce and protect
American capitalism, Kennan developed the idea of containment that defended threaten countries
from Communist power with American atomic weapons, economic aid, espionage, propaganda, and
army alliances. Eventually, the containment policy was significant in America and around the world
because it was "...a critical turning point in the development of the Cold War, providing a

threat to information security and privacy, which is a concern for private and public institutions

However, none of these laws provides a significant framework for institutions in the private sector
to observe. An Executive Order issued by President Obama in January 2013 marked a material
turning point in this respect as the order was based on ensuring security both in the private and
public sector through information sharing by both parties, development of a common security
strategy and optional implementation of the strategy by private sector stakeholders (Stay Safe

She also compares case studies which basically portray the fact that empowering your employees
and having a clear framework of values in the company, makes them feel important and needed and
can contribute as a countermeasure to control corporate espionage.
Some action that can be taken according to the book depends on the threat you're facing and believe
it or not the difference between regular spies and corporate spies is very small so the same so the
means to control it are alike.
There are four countermeasures that are commonly used by industrial spies: technical, operational,
physical and personnel security, these will later on be discussed in depth due to the harm that can be
caused to a company by a lack of security not only financially speaking but also the workplace
environment distrust that can only be corrected by reorganizing employees. This will represent time
and money wasted.

Decision making becomes even more complicated when our needs are in conflict with each other.
Humans have broadly two categories of needs which guide their decisions, viz. deficiency needs
associated with physiological needs, which are determined by life processes, like survival,
reproduction, nourishment etc, and growth needs associated with psychological needs which are
outside the life processes and differentiate humans from other creatures, like creativity, spontaneity,
self actualization etc. (Maslow, 1943). Schlozberg in his essay analysed that according to Arendt,
our needs of life and the life process are fulfilled through ordinary decision making which is rational
in nature. As the number of the ordinary decisions that need to be made in our daily lives are so
large, our mind often takes them in a routine and habitual manner, through the aids of customs and
habits (cited in Schlozberg n.d.). The way individuals will greet each other, their behaviour towards

economy, jet fuel prices, people's view of the industry itself and the image of the individual airline
entity. Founded by Clive Beddoe, Don Bell, Mark Hill and Tim Morgan, WestJet has been riding a
different train from the get–go since its inauguration in 1996,. Nobody would have thought that a
bottom–up management structure in an airline business would work so well. The culture that they
have built is now part of their brand and they are proud of it.
As their culture being part of their brand, the low–cost, no hassle airliner should have some

To further excel in this challenging industry, it is important for WestJet to continue to strengthen and
retain its people. A good way to motivate its employees is by having a recognition program that
rewards the workers who demonstrate passion in their work and contribute by going beyond the
normal expectations (somebody who exhibits organizational citizenship behaviour). We propose a
system for WestJet to have a point system involving people giving points to other people for
outstanding service. Every employee will be able to give a maximum amount of points per year.
These points can be used to purchase items off of the company website. At month end meetings,
managers can announce stories representing core values of WestJet.
The reason for such an implementation of this point system is to eliminate any unnecessary
competition within the departments because everyone is given a set amount of points per year.
Essentially, points are not earned for the amount that you do but how you chose to handle your job.
Moreover, having the anecdotes read out will inspire others due to the warm fuzzy feeling that it
will create. This will create both intrinsic and extrinsic reward for all the employees regardless.
A successful implementation of the recognition system will intrinsically motivate workers as
opposed to extrinsically and allow people to set new standards for the company.

What Are The Limitations Of HUMINT Collection
Human intelligence (HUMINT) and technical intelligence (TECHINT) provide a unique capability
of gaining information about our adversaries. Information acquired by these two collection methods
allows government decision makers and military commanders to make informed decisions and to
enable proper countermeasures to protect US interests. Although these collection methods provide
vital capabilities and intelligence they don't not come without limitations.
The office that takes primary responsibility of HUMINT collection is but not limited to the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA). Operation Officers from the CIA's national clandestine service in bed

The largest limitations is find a trustworthy source. When pulling information from an individual
loyal to their country you must question why they are willing to provide this information. Is this
information legitimate or are the providing misinformation as a counterintelligence method. All
intelligence collected from HUMINT sources must be cross referenced with other methods of
collection to confirm validity. Due to the nature of HUMINT collection it remains one of the most
risky collection methods out there. Imbedding agents into unfriendly areas requires these individual
to have a robust cultural, interpersonal and linguistic background. If these individuals are captured

Reforms in the Economic Espionage Act (EEA) of 1996
There are two important major reforms that the U.S. established, the Economic Espionage Act
(EEA) of 1996 and the Theft of Trade Secrets Act of 2012. The U.S. established the EEA of 1996 to
protect companies with industrial espionage, theft of trade secrets, fraud, transfer of custody, and
penalties on offenses(ECONOMIC ESPIONAGE ACT OF 1996). "The EEA of 1996 is an act that
makes theft or misappropriation of trade secrets a federal crime" (LaMance). Activities that are
punishable under the EEA of 1996 if the person:
"steals, or without authorization takes, carries away, or by deception obtains a trade secret without
authorization copies, downloads, uploads, alters, destroys, transmits, or conveys a trade secret,
receives, buys, or possesses a trade secret, knowing that the trade secret has been stolen or obtained
wrongfully attempts to do any of the aforementioned activities , attempts to commit economic
espionage are punishable under the same penalties. The EEA is particularly severe with people or
corporations who steal trade secrets in order to benefit foreign countries or foreign agents"
(LaMance). Penalties under the EEA of 1996 if a person is found guilty can be fined up to $500
thousand and serve 10 years in jail. A company can be fined up to five million but if it serves to
benefit, a foreign country or a foreign agent fines are up to $10 million and up to 15 years in jail.

The Integration Of Uzbekistan And Islamic State
The IMU began in 1989 in order to form a protection force for developing small businesses in the
Soviet Union. The group was referred to as Adolant which means justice in Uzbek. This movement
began in the Fergana Valley region which sits in Namangan, Uzbekistan (Stein, 2014, para. 2). In
1998 the IMU shifted its operations to overthrow the current leadership of Uzbekistan and follow
Sharia making it an Islamic State. The IMU did not agree with the way Islom Karimov was running
Uzbekistan as president (encyclopedia of espionage, 2015, para. 1). Osama Bin Laden provided the
IMU with 130,000 dollars in a trip to the mountains of Tajikistan. The money was handed directly to
Namangani who was the current financier for the IMU (Ruzaliev, 2004, para. 9).
According to Ruzaliev (2004), "A few weeks later, a meeting took place in Karachi between the
members of Islamic organizations from Pakistan, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, the Palestine, Kashmir,
Uzbekistan, and Chechnia. They agreed to raise two million dollars to support the Holy Jihad
against Karimov's regime (para. 9)."
IMU had been operating in northern Afghanistan at the time of the September 11, 2001 attacks and

Lego Patenting:
In this case we must analyze what makes most sense for Lego and their manufacturing and
technology use purposes. Therefore there has been an analysis on what they have already patented
and if this technology process also makes sense to protect under intellectual property.
One of their first patents passed in October 1961, three years after the initial filing date was the
concept of the Toy Building Brick. "This invention relates to toy building elements and more
particularly to toy building bricks or blocks adapted to be connected together by means of
projections extending from the faces of the elements and arranged so as to engage protruding
portions of an adjacent element when two such elements are assembled– Toy elements of this kind
will be referred to generally as building bricks, and the principal object of the invention is to provide
improved coupling means for clamping such building bricks together in any desired relative position
thus providing for a vast variety' of combinations of the bricks for making toy structures of many
different kinds and shapes." The full patent will not be cited, but a main aspect of this paper is to

The Negative Effects Of Downloading Music From The Music...
While few people may argue that downloading music from the internet should not be illegal, many
others realize that it is clearly an act of theft to steal the work of others. The amount of the music
being illegally downloaded has risen tremendously over the years causing music industries
worldwide to cripple and disappear. As many may say that downloading music illegally is not
harmful in any way, they are imperceptive to the fact that it is causing a large amount of decreasing
revenue. As Marielena Reyes states "The immediate effects from online piracy can be the sales drop
from CD labels and signings with artists, which could then lead to the large sums of money music
industries claim to have lost. Downloading music does not have any negative effects to music
industry finances, artists credibility, and earrings." Reyes claims music industries will gain money
off of online piracy due to the fact that sales of CD labels and signings with artist will drop but later
on this will only cause the music industries to lose billions since that is what they depend on.
"Potential know loses to all American Industry could amount to as much as $63 billion, with the
current losses occurring at a rate of $2 billion a month. The high–tech industry has an average loss
per incident reported of $19 million... continues to increase," said Neil J. Gallagher, proving the fact
that music corporations are losing money "due to piracy of software, music and interactive digital
software on the internet." The less money they are receiving from sales, result in having little to no
money for their own incorporation, no money for employees, and no money to sign contracts with
artists, leading them to the collapse of the company. By being able to download music online with
no coast, the general public worldwide will be able to afford music, as Jessica Martinez said
"Individuals have the right to make decisions when it comes to doing the correct action but if one
person deals with tough situations such as not having enough money to buy music, free downloaders

Swot Analysis : Counterintelligence ( Ci )
Counterintelligence (CI) involves actions aimed at protecting the United States against foreign
intelligence operations and espionage from penetration and disruption by hostile nations or their
intelligence services (Lowenthal, 2014). Three main components of Counterintelligence include
collection, defensive and offensive. The collection is the ability to gather intelligence information
about rivalry capabilities against own nation; defensive part of CI involves measures to prevent and
thwart other nations ' attempts to penetrate into own nation 's intelligence system; while an offensive
aspect deal with running double agents to penetrate, manipulate, exploit, and control targeted
adversaries. CI is said to be the most essential aspect of the intelligence disciplines, in the sense that
it helps in collecting vast quantities of secret information and produce an excellent analysis of
intelligence, although, ineffective counterintelligence measures may diminish confidence in the final
results (Van Cleave, 2013).

Information Privacy And The Protection Of Information
Introduction
According to (Whitman & Mattord 2014) Information Security can be defined as the protection of
information and its characteristics which are confidentiality, integrity and availability, and all the
systems and hardware that use, store and transmit information. Information systems and the
information thereof are protected from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification
or destruction (Andress 2014) and this can be achieved through the application of policy, training
and awareness.
Information privacy otherwise known as data privacy or data protection deals with the collection,
use and disclosure of personal information (Solove et al. 2006). And from a medical perspective,
(Security 2009) clearly defines information privacy as "a person's right to keep his/her health
information from been disclosed without authorization". This definition can also be applicable to
any organization that deals with personal information. To ensure that organizations are privacy
compliant, principles such as the Information Privacy Principles (IPP) coiled from the Information
Privacy Act 2009 place strict obligation on organizations on the collection, storage, usage and
disclosure of personal information. Under these principles, in collecting personal information, an
agency must only by lawful means and directly from an individual request only the personal
information for purposes directly related to the function of that agency. In securely storing of

Essay on McCarthyism and the Conservative Political...
McCarthyism and the Conservative Political Climate of Today
FOR ALMOST fifty years, the words "McCarthy" and "McCarthyism" have
stood for a shameful period in American political history. During this period, thousands of people
lost their jobs and hundreds were sent to prison. The U.S. government executed Julius and Ethel
Rosenberg, two Communist Party (CP) members, as Russian spies. All of these people were victims
of McCarthyism, the witch–hunt during the 1940s and 1950s against Communists and other leftists,
trade unionists and civil rights activists, intellectuals and artists. Named for the witch–hunt's most
zealous prosecutor, Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R–Wis.), McCarthyism was the most ... Show more

The novel is an open, unabashed effort to turn McCarthy into a misunderstood, unappreciated hero.
It's not surprising that self–identified conservatives like Buckley would want to rehabilitate one of
their heroes. But what is most disturbing about the efforts to restore McCarthy's good name has
been the pathetic response of many on the left. Anti–McCarthy historian Ellen Schrecker urged a
cease–fire on criticism of Kazan's award on the grounds that we should "separate Kazan the
informer and Kazan the artist."[4] Even worse, Miriam and Walter Schneir, who established a
case for the Rosenbergs' innocence in Invitation to an Inquest,[5] now say they were wrong.
"Twenty years ago, I would have said that there weren't a significant number of American
Communists who spied," liberal historian Maurice Isserman told the New York Times
Magazine. "It's no longer possible to hold that view."[6]
In all of the charges and countercharges, it is easy to lose sight of what McCarthyism meant to
millions of ordinary Americans. Miriam Zahler, the daughter of Detroit Communists, recalls:
My worst nightmare when I was seven or eight was that my mother would be taken away...as the
Rosenbergs had been from [their children]. Ethel and Julius were at the very center of my terror...I
asked my mother why the Rosenbergs were in jail. For passing out some leaflets, she

Counterintelligence And Covert Operations U.S. Counterintelligence and Covert Operations Counterintelligence (CI) involves actions aimed at protecting the United States against foreign intelligence operations and espionage from penetration and disruption by hostile nations or their intelligence services (Lowenthal, 2014). Three main components of Counterintelligence include collection, defensive and offensive. Collection is ability to gather intelligence information about rivalry capabilities against own nation; defensive part of CI involve measures to prevent and thwarting other nations attempts to penetration into own nations intelligence system; while offensive deal with running double agents to penetrate, manipulate, exploit, and control targeted adversaries. CI is said to be the most essential aspect of the intelligence disciplines, in the sense that collecting vast quantities of secret information and produce excellent analysis of the intelligence, but ineffective counterintelligence measures may diminish confidence the final results (Van Cleave, 2013). According to Federal Bureau of Investigation (2011) "Significant advances have been made in clarifying and rectifying intelligence gaps and requirements through the formation of liaison and working relationships with other U.S. intelligence community agencies, foreign partners, the private sector, and academia". For instance, since 2001, FBI CI program has resulted to total arrests of 249, of which 46 of them were linked to espionage. Counterintelligence (CI) ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Cuba And The United States Introduction A lot has gone on between the United States and Cuba between 1959 and 2015. In 1959, Cuba and the United States cut off diplomatic ties. On December 17, 2014, the United States and Cuba announced that they would restore diplomatic ties. Diplomatic ties is defined as "The art or practice of conducting international relations, as in negotiating alliances, treaties, and agreements" by The Free Dictionary. This means that two countries work together and with other countries to talk about alliances and make treaties and agreements. When they cut off diplomatic ties, the United States and Cuba basically had nothing to do with each other on the international scene. History of Cuba Cuba was first discovered by Spanish explorers about 500 years ago. Cuba is the largest country of the West Indies, which include Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico. Cuba has a population of over 11 million people. They have been shut off from the United States since 1959. They have not gotten any new cars from the United States since then, so they keep the 1950s cars in use. Fidel Castro became the Prime Minister of Cuba in 1959 after seizing Havana and overthrowing Fulgencio Batista. Havana, La Habana in Spanish, is the largest city in Cuba, as well as the largest city in all of the Caribbean, and the capital city of Cuba. Havana is also the only major city in Cuba.

According to a Annual Report to Congress on Foreign Economic Collection and Industrial Espionage (2008), a wide variety of foreign entities have attempted to illegally acquire trade secrets and US technology a problem attributed to outsourcing research and development. Most companies in the United States have been encouraging outsourcing research and development as a means improving themselves in terms of products being universally usable. This has led such companies setting up bases in foreign countries where such research is carried out. These bases have well been used as a gateway for economical espionage since foreign entities can easily access such bases and access information on the said companies or U.S in general. This may be through employees in such bases, spies or even hacking information systems that are connected the ones in the U.S. Acquisition of information and technology from such companies has well been used to either disable operations of such bases or setting up rival companies. It is worth noting that espionage from such bases is hard trace or quantify. This is because the jurisdiction of such states cannot be influenced or forced to take measures of such activities due to the nation's sovereignty. Legal cases in such incidents are left pending for fear of bad international relations and investigations are hardly finished. Economic espionage in ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Others towards health care facilities. Some may even use this hefty amount to renovate homes and still be left with a fortune to spare. All in all, the average American would use this currency toward benefit life in some way or another. The U.S Federal government wished the same when they used these fifteen billion dollars towards the "War on Drugs" in 2010 alone and continue to use more but the question still remains; does this amount, which goes towards campaigns against narcotics at the rate of $500 per second, actually benefit lives? Over the last four decades, money, time, and effort has been poured out towards this cause yet numerous complications still stand in account of drug related cases. Americans discovered the wonder drug, opium, in mid–18th to late 19th century. Birth was given to a new kind of danger and addiction that escalated at a fast rate. The southeast population that moved to the United States during the California Gold Rush not only came for the opportunity and hope of striking gold but along with this hope introduced opium as a long living problem. The drug was primarily named, "God's Own Medicine" as it treated the president of the time, William Henry Harrison, perfected menstrual problems for women, and was used in the American Civil War as a means of relieving the pain of soldiers.

This was a number that was scoffed at by the Grand Alliance. It was evident that Soviet policy intended to spread communism throughout war–ridden Europe, especially through their reparation demands. Tensions rose at the Potsdam Conference regarding Soviet behavior in Germany at the war's end, a working paper of United States delegation stated "Payment of reparations should leave sufficient resources to enable the German people to subsist without external assistance... all these removals were in complete violation of all efforts to maintain 'non–war potential' industries in Germany...

Some think the history of espionage goes back to prehistoric times. The bible tells of Moses sending spies into Canaan. Frederick the Great of Prussia is credited with originating organized espionage. George Washington's spies obtained intelligence and information during the Revolutionary war. The CIA's original job was primarily intelligence gathering, but when Communism started to spread, the National Security Council directed that the agency take part in political, covert, paramilitary, and economic operations. When the Korean War broke out, the CIA performed these operations, it also had additional requirements to support the combat forces. In 1950 and 1953, the CIA went through several changes. An Office of National Estimates was given the mission of projecting future developments. Overseas operations were placed in one directorate. Another directorate was in charge of all intelligence production and a third directorate included all support activities. During this period, up until 1961, the CIA was at the height of its cold war activity.

  • 12. U.s. Foreign Policy Of Containment –George Kennan George Kennan was a major factor in the U.S. foreign policy of containment, which was created during the Cold War in order to prevent the spread of Communist ideology of the Soviet Union in other countries. After World War II, George Kennan, "...a career diplomat and expert on Russia..."(Roark, Pg.867), had anticipated that the Soviet Union wanted to gain power and expand Communism throughout other countries, so in order to provide a counterforce and protect American capitalism, Kennan developed the idea of containment that defended threaten countries from Communist power with American atomic weapons, economic aid, espionage, propaganda, and army alliances. Eventually, the containment policy was significant in America and around the world because it was "...a critical turning point in the development of the Cold War, providing a compelling rationale for wielding U.S. power throughout the world."(Roark, Pg.870) (Roark, Pg.867) –Keynesian Economics Keynesian economics, derived from the ideology of John Maynard Keynes', was a strategy used during post World War II that would prevent economic decline in the United States by incorporating government spending.

  • 13. Cuba And The United States Introduction A lot has gone on between the United States and Cuba between 1959 and 2015. In 1959, Cuba and the United States cut off diplomatic ties. On December 17, 2014, the United States and Cuba announced that they would restore diplomatic ties. Diplomatic ties is defined as "The art or practice of conducting international relations, as in negotiating alliances, treaties, and agreements" by The Free Dictionary. This means that two countries work together and with other countries to talk about alliances and make treaties and agreements. When they cut off diplomatic ties, the United States and Cuba basically had nothing to do with each other on the international scene. History of Cuba Cuba was first discovered by Spanish explorers about 500 years ago. Cuba is the largest country of the West Indies, which include Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico. Cuba has a population of over 11 million people. They have been shut off from the United States since 1959. They have not gotten any new cars from the United States since then, so they keep the 1950s cars in use.

Schlozberg in his essay analysed that according to Arendt, our needs of life and the life process are fulfilled through ordinary decision making which is rational in nature.

We propose a system for WestJet to have a point system involving people giving points to other people for outstanding service. Every employee will be able to give a maximum amount of points per year. These points can be used to purchase items off of the company website. At month end meetings, managers can announce stories representing core values of WestJet. The reason for such an implementation of this point system is to eliminate any unnecessary competition within the departments because everyone is given a set amount of points per year. Essentially, points are not earned for the amount that you do but how you chose to handle your job. Moreover, having the anecdotes read out will inspire others due to the warm fuzzy feeling that it will create. This will create both intrinsic and extrinsic reward for all the employees regardless.

While few people may argue that downloading music from the internet should not be illegal, many others realize that it is clearly an act of theft to steal the work of others. The amount of the music being illegally downloaded has risen tremendously over the years causing music industries worldwide to cripple and disappear. As many may say that downloading music illegally is not harmful in any way, they are imperceptive to the fact that it is causing a large amount of decreasing revenue.

Downloading music does not have any negative effects to music industry finances, artists credibility, and earrings." Reyes claims music industries will gain money off of online piracy due to the fact that sales of CD labels and signings with artist will drop but later on this will only cause the music industries to lose billions since that is what they depend on.

  • 35. The Odyssey Essay japanese–American During WWII By: Japanese immigrants and the following generations had to endure discrimination, racism, and prejudice from white Americans. They were first viewed as economic competition. The Japanese Americans were then forced into internment camps simply because of the whites fear and paranoia. The Japanese first began to immigrate to the United States in 1868. At first they came in small numbers. US Census records show only 55 in 1870 and 2,039 in 1890. After that, they came in much greater numbers, reaching 24,000 in 1900, 72,000 in 1910, and 111,000 in 1920.(Parrillo,287) Most settled in the western states.(Klimova,1) Many families in Japan followed the practice of primogeniture, which is when the eldest son ...

Thus, the Issei had land put under their children's names directly or by collectively owning stock in landholding companies. Discrimination against the Japanese continued after World War I. The California legislature passed a law in 1920 "prohibiting aliens form being guardians of a minor's property or from leasing any land at all."(Parrillo,288) Yet another attempt by the dominant group to preserve power. Japanese American children also suffered racism and discrimination. In 1905, the San Francisco School Board of Education passed a policy sending Japanese children to a segregated Oriental school in Chinatown.(Parrillo,288) "Superintendent, Aaron Altmann, advised the city's principals: "Any child that may apply for enrollment or at present attends your school who may be designated under the head of 'Mongolian' must be excluded, and in furtherance of this please direct them to apply at the Chinese school for enrollment."(Asia,1) Japanese immigrants being extremely racially distinct, had different cultural customs and religious faith, and tended to chain migrate and stay within their own small communities. This aroused distrust and the idea that they could not be assimilated.(Klimova,2) Japan's victory in the Russo–Japanese war in 1905 fueled the irrational distrust and prejudice.

  • 36. Swot Analysis : Counterintelligence ( Ci ) Counterintelligence (CI) involves actions aimed at protecting the United States against foreign intelligence operations and espionage from penetration and disruption by hostile nations or their intelligence services (Lowenthal, 2014). Three main components of Counterintelligence include collection, defensive and offensive. The collection is the ability to gather intelligence information about rivalry capabilities against own nation; defensive part of CI involves measures to prevent and thwart other nations ' attempts to penetrate into own nation 's intelligence system; while an offensive aspect deal with running double agents to penetrate, manipulate, exploit, and control targeted adversaries. CI is said to be the most essential aspect of the intelligence disciplines, in the sense that it helps in collecting vast quantities of secret information and produce an excellent analysis of intelligence, although, ineffective counterintelligence measures may diminish confidence in the final results (Van Cleave, 2013). According to Federal Bureau of Investigation (2011) after the 9/11 attacks, "significant advances have been made in clarifying and rectifying intelligence gaps and requirements through the formation of liaison and working relationships with other U.S. intelligence community agencies, foreign partners, the private sector, and academia". For instance, since 2001, FBI CI program has resulted in total arrests of 249, of which 46 of them were linked to espionage. CI has ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 38. Information Privacy And The Protection Of Information Introduction According to (Whitman & Mattord 2014) Information Security can be defined as the protection of information and its characteristics which are confidentiality, integrity and availability, and all the systems and hardware that use, store and transmit information. Information systems and the information thereof are protected from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification or destruction (Andress 2014) and this can be achieved through the application of policy, training and awareness. Information privacy otherwise known as data privacy or data protection deals with the collection, use and disclosure of personal information (Solove et al. 2006). And from a medical perspective, (Security 2009) clearly defines information privacy as "a person's right to keep his/her health information from been disclosed without authorization". This definition can also be applicable to any organization that deals with personal information. To ensure that organizations are privacy compliant, principles such as the Information Privacy Principles (IPP) coiled from the Information Privacy Act 2009 place strict obligation on organizations on the collection, storage, usage and disclosure of personal information. Under these principles, in collecting personal information, an agency must only by lawful means and directly from an individual request only the personal information for purposes directly related to the function of that agency.

  • 42. Essay on McCarthyism and the Conservative Political... McCarthyism and the Conservative Political Climate of Today FOR ALMOST fifty years, the words "McCarthy" and "McCarthyism" have stood for a shameful period in American political history. During this period, thousands of people lost their jobs and hundreds were sent to prison. The U.S. government executed Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, two Communist Party (CP) members, as Russian spies. All of these people were victims of McCarthyism, the witch–hunt during the 1940s and 1950s against Communists and other leftists, trade unionists and civil rights activists, intellectuals and artists. Named for the witch–hunt's most zealous prosecutor, Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R–Wis.), McCarthyism was the most ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The novel is an open, unabashed effort to turn McCarthy into a misunderstood, unappreciated hero. It's not surprising that self–identified conservatives like Buckley would want to rehabilitate one of their heroes. But what is most disturbing about the efforts to restore McCarthy's good name has been the pathetic response of many on the left. Anti–McCarthy historian Ellen Schrecker urged a cease–fire on criticism of Kazan's award on the grounds that we should "separate Kazan the informer and Kazan the artist."[4] Even worse, Miriam and Walter Schneir, who established a case for the Rosenbergs' innocence in Invitation to an Inquest,[5] now say they were wrong. "Twenty years ago, I would have said that there weren't a significant number of American Communists who spied," liberal historian Maurice Isserman told the New York Times Magazine. "It's no longer possible to hold that view."[6] In all of the charges and countercharges, it is easy to lose sight of what McCarthyism meant to millions of ordinary Americans. Miriam Zahler, the daughter of Detroit Communists, recalls: My worst nightmare when I was seven or eight was that my mother would be taken away...as the Rosenbergs had been from [their children]. Ethel and Julius were at the very center of my terror...I asked my mother why the Rosenbergs were in jail. For passing out some leaflets, she ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
