National Security Implications of Transnational Organized Crime
The paper deals with three important aspects, one the National Security, second the crime–organized in many ways, and the third rogue nations that pose a threat. National security is to be understood in multiple contexts. Firstly the physical security of the nation from alien threats, and intrusions, secondly damages to vital infrastructure and thirdly anti-national activities by organizations that may lead to an emergency in the country or at an international level causing diplomatic problems. It must be remembered that the Al-Qaeda was also an organized crime syndicate that was funded by the drug trade from Afghanistan. Secondly organized crimes committed by the companies or organizations that commit crime like ENRON also have its own implications on the financial security. Thirdly rogue nations like Iran, China and Korea pose threats both on the security of the nation and it's infrastructure–especially the communications that is used for spying and stealing data. Other than these communities based on religious ideologies that have a hate of the US often form societies to run terrorist errands in the country. Some of the local organized mafias also have foreign links either to harbor funds that are ill gotten or for tax evasion and thus crime runs parallel to terrorism and national threats. It is a vast subject and therefore the implications from all of these are covered in brief.
Literacy coaching model and implementation
Language acquisition with phonemic awareness correlates to learning to read, plus it is an accurate predictor of reading success. Through phonological and phonemic awareness activities, involving direct instruction, incidental occasions, and literature-based activities, a balanced literacy to phonics instruction can be achieved (Bowman & Treiman, 2004). It is important to include components, such as rhyming, segmenting, isolating, deleting, substituting, and blending.
Associationist learning theory: principles, contributions, and mental processes
Abstract
In general terms, associationism remains not only one of the earliest theories of leaning but it also comes across as being one of the most enduring. Basically, associationism holds that association of ideas can be used to explain mental processes. In this text, I will mainly concern myself with associationism as a learning theory.
