how the national security strategy does not adequately handle threats that Russia poses to the United States The United States conceptualizes and actualizes a National Security Strategy on an annual basis to realize its goals of protecting the American people, the homeland, and the American way of life. The threats that this national security strategy does not address range from the global to regional threats. Some of the global dangers include cyber-attacks, terrorism online-based influence on governmental and civil operations, election interference, and counter-intelligence, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, international organized crime, and economically disruptive technologies. Regional threats are those that are posed by specific countries or emanate from a particular part of the world. Generally, the national security strategy is bedeviled by various inadequacies that make it ineffective in handling threats that are posed to the United States by external forces. In this paper, we will look into how the national security strategy does not adequately handle threats that Russia poses to the United States. Historically, Russia, in the form of the former Soviet Union, posed as…
The Canadian Court System The Court system constitutes the judicial wing of the government of Canada. The Canadian court system is distinctive with varied levels of superiority and areas of jurisdiction. Some courts are operating as federal, while others are working within provinces. Every court at the provincial level has a superior court (court of appeal). The appointment of the judges at both levels is made at the federal level. The powers and authorities vested in each court are spelled out by the Canadian Constitution. The Canadian Supreme court handles matters of national significance. At provincial levels, each court has a lower trial court that deals with family issues and minor cases. The juvenile courts do not have the authority to handle certain types of cases. In some instances, the lower courts can handle criminal and family matters. Explain in your own words the Creation of Laws In Canada, the law is seen as any tool of human creation that is utilized to achieve fairness and just society. There are different ways through which law is created in Canada. The…
sexism in the video gaming world A majority would argue for the longest time that the male has dominated video games, having guns and car games. However, as the real world is encouraging gender equality, the gaming world has not been left behind as the representation of women in the gaming world has increased over the past few years. For example, in Great Britain, they have discovered that 40% of the game players are female across all platforms. Also, in the developing world, the numbers are skyrocketing, recording a total of 22% of the game’s developers in the world being women. However, sexism is still alive in the video gaming world. Stereotypes and clichés involving female characters. Most often, video games depict females characters are often being sexualized, which are portrayed with exaggerated figures and who are always wearing minimal clothing. In other games, women are still victims who are ever requiring someone to save them from the violation of games such as GTA. The non-human characters are also hit with “female “sexism in the gaming world. A redesign of…
Legal and Ethical Issues Related to CHF in Women Polyakov, Fomin & Vaysberg (2019) states that consideration of the cultural norms, ethical norms and legal issues involved in the management of a patient with Congestive heart failure is significant and essential. Healthcare workers have a role in decision making concerning the management of women with heart failure. Still, they must also take into consideration the preferences of the family and the patient. Management of heart failure in women or the general population must involve the exploration of the various treatment modalities, limitations of the treatments, decision-making capacity and objectives of treatment or management. The disease progresses inexorably to end-stage and most women suffering from this always don’t have a say on how the end of life care should be. Some of them still prefer the don not resuscitate status. Some of them also favoured the use of advanced directives. Most of the women feared that the physicians would not respect their wishes or options in the management of the condition. According to Santema et al. (2019), the concept of autonomy…
Vulnerability Assessment of the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) Introduction Almost all systems or facilities are faced with some forms of threats. Some threats cannot be realized easily without conducting a thorough assessment. Vulnerability assessment involves the process of identifying and quantifying risks facing a system or a facility (Sage, 2005). Threats to a system can be of different forms, for example, persons, terrorism acts, or natural disasters. With the advancement in technology, threats have become more complicated because the facility and its components can be invaded from the remote place through cyber-attack. By conducting a vulnerability assessment, an organization would be able to identify potential threats and put measures in place before such threats or weaknesses are used by people with ill motives. This paper provides a vulnerability assessment of the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) located in Washington, DC. The first section of the paper introduces the concept of vulnerability assessment and provides the purpose of the assignment. The paper shall also describe the site selection providing reasons why it was selected, components of vulnerability in the selected facility, and recommendations…
Artificial Intelligence evolution Artificial Intelligence has evolved greatly over time, and many industries are incorporating AI into their functions. The government has not been left behind as it has adopted the technology in different sectors where Artificial Intelligence is used for repetitive tasks and uses algorithms to sort out information when large data is involved. Incorporating AI into the judiciary system, especially to replace judges, would mean leaving the robots to decide the fate of human beings. It is important to establish the different factors affecting the legitimacy of AI replacing judges. Several countries have adopted the use of artificial intelligence in the judiciary system. The US is already using AI in the police force. Through predictive algorithms, they can establish situations where the use of force is needed (Alarie et al. 106). They also use facial recognition technology, which is part of AI and assessment algorithms. The assessment algorithms are used for post-arrest cases where technology assesses the likelihood of a person to re-offend from details of their profile. The information is used by judges to aid in their…
Data-Driven advocacy programs In today’s ever-changing health system, employers must engage the employees in making decisions that are related to their health. In essence, this helps to improve clinical outcomes and controlling costs. REF notes that as long as the consumers have no idea about the healthcare system, they will continue being exploited by insurance companies that deduct a lot of money from their salaries. Employers are trying hard to engage their employees in focusing on ways of managing their well-being. They can only achieve this either by the use of healthcare data or by using opt-in advocacy programs. This paper will focus on the advantages and disadvantages of the two options. So as more healthcare organizations start to participate in health information exchange, they need to understand these pros and cons. Healthcare data has been used and is still being used to increase an employee’s engagement in decision making. Some of the advantages of using healthcare data to make decisions are that one can identify the gaps that exist in the recommended care, rule out the risks, and late…
Briefly describe the Public Health issue you selected and justify your selection In my Public Health Campaign, I chose the issue of drug abuse among the youths living in urban areas in America. I selected the issue of drug abuse because, in America, the problem is on the rise. Many people are involved in the use of drugs with the most abused drugs being nicotine, cocaine, heroin, and smoking cigarette. Doing Public Health Campaign on drug abuse will help me to educate the Americans on the dangers of using drugs (Elflein, 2019) The use of drugs has many effects on the people using them and the society as well. The drug users are at a high risk of suffering health complications. The smokers of cigarette risk getting cancer. Addiction to drugs also hinders the normal functioning of the user. Therefore, many youths in America drop out of school because they can no longer handle their studies well. The society suffers increased crime rates because those who use drugs steal to get money to buy drugs. Campaigning against the use of…
MMA Experience Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is becoming very popular and the fastest growing sport all over the world. According to Seungmo et al. (2008), it is among the games that have been around far longer, with a growing exponentially each year. I have grown to love to sport, and I owe it to my father, who made me join MMA. My father was a regular boxing fan, and he made me watch PPV events ever since I was a small kid. I remember watching the likes of Iron Mike on those eras of boxing, and he made me an avid boxing fan to date. However, on many occasions, despite my dad spending vast amounts of money on PPV events, he would complain about how wrestling was a fake sport. I finally realized he was speaking the truth around the age of 10. Nonetheless, that did not deter me from joining MMA, and ironically I got into this sport when I stopped training Karate. At that time, I was living in Ireland when I bought a UFC 54 in a…

The women were later released, and three of their attackers were arrested. In India, an all-female marathon scheduled has been canceled. In South Korea, the country with the highest number of cases after China, several events…
