Globalization and Nationalism As an idea, globalism seems to be the opposite of nationalism. Yet both seem to co-exist in the same world and sometimes in the same minds.  How is this possible? While nationalism is us versus them situation, globalization favors others more than the individual country. While nationalism advocate for a sense of belonging, globalization does not (Falkenberg, 2019). For the countries that are readily corrupted to bend to the will of foreign investment; thus, the sense of nationalism needs to be against their own government to support globalization. Globalization and nationalism can properly co-exist if there are policies and rights to maintain the basic infrastructure in the area. The interdependence of capital has made it impossible for nations to take part in globalization. Most of us would agree that rapid population growth and unrestrained exploitation of the planet’s resources are leading us all to global disaster. Yet we also feel that the number of children we have and the kinds of cars we drive is not anyone’s business but our own. How is it possible to address…

The Use of Emergency Powers No, there should not be stricter guidelines on the events that the president of the US can declare to be disasters. The current guidelines are enough to ensure that the president does overstep his or her mandate. For example, there is the Stafford Act, which has well laid out guidelines on the manner that the federal government will offer support to the state and local government. The act goes further and defines what constitutes a disaster and what is not. So, while it gives the president a significant amount of power, such authority will be restricted to the response of disaster-related activities (Goitein, 2020).  Thus, the potential for abuse of power by the president is very low. As for the National Emergency Act (NEA), some people assert that it should have stricter guidelines given it does not provide a clear definition of what constitutes a disaster.  Even so, the involvement of many agencies and the existence of barriers will make the process of responding to emergencies less effective. Notably, it is vital to give the…

IT Security Policies Cyber-security threats have been sky-rocketing recently; this calls for the implementation of stiffer measures by every organization to facilitate the security of user information and promote integrity. Therefore, based on how vulnerable a domain is, policies should be implemented to curb those risks or threats. Every organization has the LAN domain, which encompasses the routers and switches. This domain is crucial as it facilitates information exchange and sharing of resources within the organization. Therefore, the domain has sufficient information, making it a significant target for most hackers. Below are some of the best practices for IT security policies aimed at securing the LAN domain. First, use of at least two accounts where one has no administrative privileges while the other is meant only for administrative tasks to curb tampering with the whole network. Second, securing the domain administrator account. The designated administrator account should only be used while setting up the domain and during recovery in case of a disaster. Third, monitoring the running events in all computers within the LAN. This practice is essential in identifying…
