Discuss the impact of public opinion on political campaigns.

Textbook- Krutz, G. (2019). American Government 2e. (S. Waskiewicz, Ed.). Houston, TX: OpenStax. (Textbook is available for free download or online access on Blackboard) Please answer the following questions in 150 to 200 words each, and submit your responses as an attachment in Word or PDF format: 1. Explain the concept of political socialization and its causes. What is the relationship between socialization and ideology? I wrote some for this one- Political socialization is when people start to see their political values from what they’ve been taught. This process helps individuals decide where they stand politically. Many people like friends, teachers and family can influence a person’s political identity. The logical connection between beliefs and values about a community system is political ideology. Socialization and ideology share similar definitions because they both are developing a person’s public opinion. Creating your own set of beliefs helps build patriotism. Fatima Raja explains,“Through the construction of beliefs (religious, economic, ethnical, etc.) and the participation in groups, individuals mature their own political values.” Political socialization and ideology are important in building good political views. 2. Discuss the impact of public opinion on political campaigns. 3. After reading pp. 251 to 257 in our textbook, discuss the various factors that impact voter turnout during elections. 4. Explain the concepts of initiative, referendum, and recall. Do you think that Connecticut should implement any of these forms of direct democracy?

Why is a strong security culture important? What are some security initiatives you can roll out for your entire workforce?

Have you heard of the old expression “humans are the weakest link”? This seems truer than ever in any cybersecurity program. (Reading: People – the weakest link in cybersecurity ) After the rise of COVID, the workplace has changed forever. Hybrid working has become the new norm. It comes with its own set of challenges. Cyber criminals continue to prey on remote workers. They use highly sophisticated methods of targeting employees and even executives. Beyond the threats from phishing attacks, we have also learned that “everyone is responsible for security”. Only by building ‘shift left” security mindset into an organization’s culture can organizations consistently inject security practices into their DevOps pipelines and into all stages of software development. However, here are the latest stats based on over 400 responses to a 2020 survey of international IT security operations professionals: More than 40% of respondents reported increased risks from unmanaged devices belonging to remote users 54% of all security leaders describe visibility as a major concern. Some 60% said they had identified new security gaps as a result of the shift to remote work. Nearly six in 10 organizations are struggling with employee-related cyber threats in the months since the pandemic began. And 48% reported phishing attacks in the first three months of the pandemic. 97% worry about an insider data breach over the next year Some 78% of IT security leaders believe that employees have put corporate data at risk accidentally over the past 12 months Three-quarters think employees intentionally put corporate data at risk over the same time period. Source: The State of Security Operations 2020; 2020 Global Insider Data Breach Survey For this assignment, you will write an essay of ~500 words to design a cybersecurity program that can effectively address the security threats caused by the “human” factors, in other words, insider risks. A security awareness training program is a great enabler, but it alone is not going to make the cut to transform the organization’s security culture. Your essay should address each of the following questions. Each is worth a maximum of 20 points. Why is a strong security culture important? What are some security initiatives you can roll out for your entire workforce? What may cause your program to fail or stall? How will you apply the three pillars: people, process, technology to achieve the objectives of your program? How would you integrate the emerging technologies such as AI/ML or cloud into your program? You will receive a total maximum of 20 bonus points if your program addresses ANY of the following areas: How will your program increase the visibility over third-party insider risks? What security topics would you recommend for an employees’ awareness training program? How would you leverage the frameworks we discussed (e.g., NIST, MITRE) to construct your program? You may enter and exit this assignment page as needed and you should type your answers in a separate word document. You will submit by uploading a .doc .docx, or .pdf file.

Analyze the role that humans have played in aggravating this threat to the Earth’s environment.

Select two threats. Listed below are eight issues that the UN feels pose the most significant threats to global security. Some of these apply to the Earth’s 7.7 billion people, while others are limited primarily to developing countries. Regardless of where these threats are concentrated, your job as a consultant is to identify two of them that you consider the most critical to the globe’s population. Issue Options The use of fossil fuels as an energy source. Globalization. Insufficient educational opportunities in developing countries. A lack of access to technology. Civil war (NOT the U.S. Civil War). The rise in oceans’ levels. Covid-19 and the global pandemic. The dangers of poor countries remaining poor. Step 2 Write a minimum of an 8 page persuasive paper about your two threats. Write an introduction paragraph of at least one-half page in length identifying the two threats you have selected and the purpose of the paper. Then, for the two threats you chose: Identify the factors that make it such a serious risk to the global environment that you would choose to present it to the UN. Analyze the role that humans have played in aggravating this threat to the Earth’s environment. Suggest initiatives that the global community can take to mitigate the worst effects of this environmental threat. Write a conclusion paragraph of at least one-half page in length that summarizes your impressions of these risks for global stability.

What factors need to be in place to nurture an innovative working environment?

Hi Writer Please see the below request from our Tutor to open the initial post for discussion forum in platform university. Module Study name: Principles & Practices Management: We are now in Unite Name:Unit 7: Managing Knowledge and Learning in this book (Managing & Organizations An Introduction to Theory and Practice – Fifth Edition -Clegg) search and read in this book you can take the reference from writer Clegg our discussion forum Unit 7: Managing Knowledge and Learning Unit 7 focuses on the roles and function of knowledge and learning in organisations. People are employed for what they know and what they can learn. There are many aspects to learning and knowing; each requires careful management for the sustainability of the organisation. Knowing, always an individual property, is something that organisations try to translate into an organisational property so that when and if people come and go, the knowledge that they have contributed can remain in the organisation. Learning is also complex: organisations can learn to do better what they already do, or they can learn that they would be better doing something else altogether. Get that balance wrong and your organisation can soon be out of business! A successful manager is one who skilfully manages knowledge and learning. Note: In the above, I give information about what is we are studying and what is our unit 7 bout. Here important: In this discussion forum discuss the below: Look at the DTI guidance document “Achieving best practice in your business – High Performance work practices: linking strategy and skills to performance and outcome”. If the Link DTI up not open you can open this :https://www.researchgate.net/publication/258829103_High_Performance_Work_Practices_linking_strategy_and_skills_to_performance_outcomes These are two questions you should discuss and answer to write in the IP (Initial post ) Discuss the link between successful organisations and the need for learning and development. How can this be managed successfully within an organisational setting? Is innovation an essential element to obtain success within a business setting? What factors need to be in place to nurture an innovative working environment? Provide support for your arguments using theory, literary sources and applied organisational examples. In the final summary post ask one or two a good interesting question about the undressing from the unit for the peers to answer and reply to me. Guidelines for discussion responses: You initial post should be 200 – 300 words long and should provide a summary of the key arguments within the core question. Maximum 310 words A posts should then respond to your peers and expand upon the topics under discussion to demonstrate module knowledge and understanding. The word count for all posts are between 200 – 300 words. This will encourage peers to reflect on and respond to your ideas. Provide support for posts using theory, applied examples and wider reading in line with the Harvard Referencing Guidance. To demonstrate animation please try to spread the posts over the 2 week period, ask and respond to though provoking questions. Make use of a range of reliable academic sources to support your posts, clearly referenced using Harvard Referencing. Sources of wider reading /research can also be shared with your peers. (Maxim 2 to 3 Referencing) I just wanted to share with you all a couple of articles that you may find helpful. These have been produced by the CIPD and look at Driving the New Learning Organisation and Driving Performance and Productivity. Note: Please you can take the two references from the IDT Link or two PDF documents(in attached) or the book for writer Clegg and 1 reference you can use from Google Scholar and Google Books, in identifying academically credible sources to assist in your assessed work.  Please read carefully my email thanks writer Regards Shuaa

Elaborate on why the net present value (NPV) of a relatively long-term project is more sensitive to changes in the cost of capital than is the NPV of a short-term project.

For this discussion: Elaborate on why the net present value (NPV) of a relatively long-term project is more sensitive to changes in the cost of capital than is the NPV of a short-term project. Provide two examples of NPV calculations that support your position. Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates’ posts. Cite any resources used. Also, respond to my classmate’s post below: Miriam Waller Net Present Value (NPV) is the value of all cash flows over the life of an investment when discounted to its present worth. Discounting activity to its present worth is done because of the recognized assumption that a sum of money in the present day—money now—is worth more than the identical sum of money later. The time value of money is a key factor in determining investment strategies planned over time. The reasons why money in hand is valued over the same amount of money down the road include: opportunity costs (what else could we have done with the money?); interest rates; inflation; type of investment; risk levels; rising prices; or other unforeseen factors (i.e. a pandemic; supply chain issues; war). In addition, money received now is more valuable because it can be invested and earn interest so its worth will increase over time. Still, if two different investment projects are being considered, if the cost of capital is high the entity might make the choice to invest sooner than later compared to the cost being low. The reason for the decision would be based upon the assumption that high cash flows can be re-invested at the high cost of capital and compounded over the life of the investment. The reason for this is the same, i. e. high cash flows are assumed to be re-invested at the cost of capital and thus compounded over the remaining life of the project. Example 1: A hospital is considering a purchase of equipment to streamline data retrieval systems. After calculating the NPV of the investment considering all factors like those mentioned above, if the net present value promises a return rate higher than the minimum rate of return, then the investment should proceed. In other words, if generated revenues along with reduced future costs can be determined then it’s a sound investment. Example 2: Similarly, if an investment in technology can increase efficiency, reduce current costs (i.e. labor), and if the life of the investment can be projected to last a sufficient amount of time, then it should be pursued. And if installation, training, and implementation are assumed to be cheaper now than at a future time while increasing cash flow, again, the project should warrant investment.
