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…

How did technology change the power of the presidency? Technology has changed the spectrum of today’s politics, information gathering, analysis, and interpretation by both politicians, and the people have been simplified and are available twenty-four-seven through the internet, as long as one has accessibility. The technology was the underlying factor in last presidential elections in the united states of America, debates, soundbites, and scandals defined the election through the internet. Emails online voting, electronic voting booths, and voter data mining have become the political mainstream, but the influence of technology in the American political landscape extends beyond election day. Social networking has become the new press briefing; the use of Twitter by politicians as a mode of information and news transfer to the mass is the new thing, and it has simplified things, but some are using such platform as a form of misinformation.

This document covers technology, globalization, and mobility at work as megatrends.

New technology institution may have contentious results. This is because it escalates the requirements and demands on security and performances.

Increasing the minimum wage is the fairest way to benefit low wage workers. Positive reasoning: Increasing the minimum wage is not the fairest way to benefit the low wage workers. An increase in low wages will reduce the increase in demand for labor. Some employees will be retrenched or displaced. Increasing the minimum wages will also increase the production cost, and the prices of products will increase. In the long term, the low wage workers will end up spending more on basic needs, and increasing the minimum wages will not have much effect. Normative reasoning: Increasing the minimum wage should be the safest way to benefit the low wage workers. Low wage workers spent most of their salaries on insurance and basic needs. There is not much money left for extravagant spending. This makes them survive from hand to mouth, and they remain at the same financial status. Raising the minimum wage will help them to use surplus money on secondary needs, such as investing in businesses, and their financial condition will improve. Increasing the minimum wage is the most…
