The United States strategy for Homeland Security

The United States National Strategy for Homeland Security is a formal government response to the events of September 11, 2001 at the Pentagon and World Trade Center. The document issued by President George W. Bush outlines the overall strategic considerations for cooperation between the federal government, states, private enterprises, and ordinary citizens in anticipating future terrorism attacks as well as natural disasters and other incidents of national significance. The National Response Framework is the part of the homeland security national strategy that is a Comprehensive Emergency Management guideline for implementing scalable responses to disasters and other incidents of national significance. Homeland security requires a truly national effort, with shared goals and responsibilities for protecting and defending our homeland. The strategy for this document is to prevent and disrupt any form of terrorist attacks from happening to our country. Our former President Bush made this document to protect the American people from suffering any further pain from the attacks that September 11th caused. The document also protects any infrastructure from getting attacked like our bridges, skyscraper towers, oil refineries ect. If any incidents do occur this documentation will help our government to respond and recover. This document will also help us learn to prevent terrorist attacks from happening or even any other form or natural disaster.

Corporal punishment

Corporal punishment is to deliberately inflict pain and suffering to punish a person or change his or her behavior. Corporal punishment seems to be unmoral and evil, no child or adult should have to go though that form of discipline. This semester I have learned a lot about morality and how it is about good and evil and write from wrong actions. Good morality is the feeling of pleasure and desire for something; it also has to do with being fair to everyone around you. Morality enables us to reach our goals in socially acceptable ways, enabling us to resolve conflicts of interests fairly, developing certain kinds of positive character, promoting human happiness, and enabling society to survive. (Pojman). Without morality people would be doing whatever they had in mind like corporal punishment for instance, is not moral and fair to anyone who gets it inflicted on them. Morality is about good and evil, and corporal punishment would be a form of evil morality because no person deserves to be struck or harmed for acting up in some manner. Violence is not the answer to solve issues. Donald Cobble believes corporal punishment should be allowed to teach his son a lesson, I believe the fact of him beating his son is going to effect the way his son lives his life in the fact that hell be living in fear of going home to his father. No child should have to be afraid to go home especially for making minor mistakes.

History between 1945- 1955

During the ten-year period between 1945 to 1955, America witnessed a lot of changes and improvements that were made. Up until 1945 one of Americas most successful Presidents was still in office at this point. Franklin Delano Roosevelt made a lot of changes for our country. Roosevelt was only President until 1945 when he passed away during his fourth term as President. After Roosevelt had died a lot of changes were made during that ten year period and a new President took over to try to save our country like Roosevelt did, his name was Harry S. Truman.
Franklin Roosevelt was our thirty-second president of the United States. Roosevelt was elected to four terms in office; he served from 1933 to 1945 and is the only U.S. president to have served more than two terms. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, Roosevelt created the New Deal to provide relief for the unemployed, recovery of the economy, and reform of the economic and banking systems. Before elected President he had a lot of pressure on fixing our country. He did whatever he could to make the country a better place to live in during that time.

Digging deep (One of my favorite short stories)

The story Digging deep is one of my favorite stories by Ramsey Campbell.In the story “Digging deep by Ramsey Campbell, Alan Coe is a man who was thought confirmed dead and instead wound up buried alive. After reading the story Alan Coe seems to have been a very depressed and unhappy man. He does not appear to be satisfied with anything or anyone. It is as if his family may have buried him alive because he was too much of a negative person. He never liked the light; he was always surrounded by darkness, since he seemed to push away everyone that loved him. It’s almost as if his family was doing him a favor by burying him alive because he was such a depressing person to look at and want alive. After all his attempts of reaching someone to rescue him, he finally feels someone digging for him. It was not anyone from above ground that he called to come and rescue him. It was the devil coming to take him to the place he needed to be with the other miserable lifeless people who have lived.

the shining the book compared to the movie

“The Shining” by Stephen King was a fascinating novel and movie. The movie and the novel have a lot of similarities and differences. “The Shining” was published by King in 1977, and still remains to be one of his best novels. The movie “The Shining” stars one of the best actors, Jack Nicholson, who plays Jack in the movie. In the novel, Jack Torrance is a recovering alcoholic who lost his teaching job due to beating a student for slashing his car's tires. Jack has certain arrogance and stubbornness about him; he does not like being under authority and often compromises himself or his job by retaliating to it. He takes his family to the hotel, but is driven by the hotel and its spirits to drink. Jack goes mad and attempts to kill Wendy, Danny and Dick Halloran with a roque mallet. At the end of the novel, Jack's love for his son allows him to redeem himself, and his body is incinerated in the Overlook Hotel's explosion. The movie and the novel have a great deal of similarities. In both the movie and the novel Jack is a school teacher and writer who is a recovering alcoholic. Jack gets drunk one night to find Danny messing around his office of school papers and ends up pulling him away and dislocating his arm. The movie and the novel have the same names of the characters that are in it. Both take place in Colorado in the Overlook Hotel. In both plots Danny has an imaginary friend named Tony who tells him things about the past and future. Also, Mr. Halloran also has the gift like Danny and it’s known as the shining. Mr. Halloran calls Danny “Doc” on his own before hearing it from Wendy or Jack in both. Danny and Wendy get the better of Jack and lock him in the food pantry to be safe. In the movie and novel Jack damages the snow mobile and the phone lines to make sure they are completely isolated with no form of connection with any outsiders.

high school boot camp

Our class watched the movie “High School Boot Camp,” which was about high school kids that went to disciplinary camp to better themselves as individuals. These kids went to the Eagle Academy because they had a few problems of there own that they had to straighten out. Some of the kids had drug problems and didn’t know where else to turn but going to the academy. Also some of the kids treated there parents poorly and didn’t respect them like they should. I really enjoyed watching the film “High School Boot Camp” because the academy shows kids how to have respect for their parents and puts them on the right path to succeed as individuals. The academy is great because they make kids get up early and make sure that there beds are made and are ready for training. It shows children discipline when they have to get up early to get things done for the day. It’s a great method to be tough with the kids like the academy was because it shows them who is boss.
