Many people get challenges when developing a vision on how life will look like after change, so they tend to cling to what they know than what they don’t know (Cameron & Green,2019). Therefore, resistance to change is an obvious thing, even the cooperatives and supportive employees experience it.

Do you believe that labeling terrorism as a crime that can be committed domestically has changed policing? How? Why? Provide examples. Yes. Labeling domestic crimes as terrorism has changed law enforcement. For many years, the US constitution has failed in executing deserving punishment to lawbreakers, especially in cases of domestic terrorism. Federal Hate Crimes Statutes have been used in dealing with cases of terrorism within the states from 1968 but has failed terribly in protecting Americans. Due to new cases, it has been amended periodically to fit the degree of crime and making new precedents. The US federal government has remained agile on security since the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. Years later, the country has been prone to attacks not only domestically but internationally. Example Robert Bowers organized an attack on a church in Pittsburgh, Penn., The attack killed eleven believers and maimed many others. They had gathered in Tree of Life Synagogue for a worship service. Being a domestic attack, the court charged him under federal statutes on hate crimes for violating the worshipers’ freedom of religious beliefs…

This can be attributed to the high rate of turnover rates in which employees find it suitable to change organizations for greener pastures. Employee development as part of the organizational change can result in retention strategies that improve on skills, expertise and work experiences. Applying the change in the organization as a unit manager will involve the three processes in Lewin’s model of change. The unfreezing process will involve the behaviours and beliefs surrounding the change. New changes require the substitution of existing behaviours for acceptance (Hussain et al., 2018). This will influence decisions made on employee development from the upper managerial level to the motivation of employees to enroll in the development programs. Some of the beliefs involve costs and negativity from managers. The unfreezing stage will include the involvement of the employees in the development programs initiating change. This can be given through support and manageable approaches to combat change tension (Hussain et al., 2018).…
