Islamic extremism is on the rise and this has been evidenced by the failure of the Libyan regime.
What opportunities are there for the Islamic state to make inroads into the regions of Palestine neighboring Israel?
A fundamental issue established at the outset of this course is the fact that becoming involved in terrorist activities is a process, where numerous factors can affect the mindset and actions of an individual. We have covered many of these issues and influences, so concerning this matter, compare and contrast at least two different radicalization models that explain terrorist motivations. In this research paper also summarize behavioral and psychological factors associated with disengaging from terrorism and describes what efforts or programs are most effective in countering radicalization and why.

Drawing upon resource material provided and that discovered while conducting your own research, answer the following:
What are the capabilities and limitations of domestic intelligence efforts in supporting the homeland security enterprise?
Do you feel that the U.S. is appropriately structured and resourced to adequately provide timely, accurate, and actionable domestic intelligence to support the entire spectrum of intelligence users (customers) from the Federal government down to state and local agencies (both now and into the future)?
This paper should provide an examination of the various elements that comprise U.S. domestic intelligence efforts (from local law enforcement to national intelligence agencies) and how those entities contribute to supporting the homeland security enterprise in collaboratively protecting American Citizens. In crafting your paper, it would be good to remember the lessons learned from the 9/11 Commission on the difficulties of getting various agencies from all three levels of government to collaborate as well as intelligence sharing lessons/recommendations. Also, address the capability of the homeland security enterprise to adequately identify and address future challenges. In developing your response, you should address the challenges of providing for homeland security while maintaining civil liberties as well as emerging trends and patterns such as homegrown terrorism and the proliferation of communication encryption technologies.
Note: As mentioned earlier in this course, remember that “homeland security” is made up of much more than just DHS. That agency is only one part of a larger Homeland Security Enterprise that includes [DHS] Departmental leaders and components [the 7 field agencies including USCG, CBP, ICE, USSS, etc], state, local, tribal, territorial, and private sector partners and others, as well as many other essential federal agencies that play a role in HLS, such as the very important DOJ where the FBI is the lead agency for countering terrorism in the US (not DHS). Of importance in this paper is the role of the FBI as both a federal law enforcement arm, as well as its role as a domestic-focused intelligence organization.
Technical Requirements:
Your paper must be at a minimum of 5-7 pages (the Title and Reference pages do not count towards the minimum limit).
Scholarly and credible references should be used. A good rule of thumb is at least 2 scholarly sources per page of content.
Type in Times New Roman, 12 point, and double space.
Students will follow the current APA Style as the sole citation and reference style used in written work submitted as part of coursework.

This class project is on wildfires in the west any location that they have happened in the past 6 months you must include which is the fire. What is the cause, and when and where you must also come up with the method that can be used to redevelop the land that was destroyed by the fire with no more than three to four bullets per slide.
Do research to support your point of view and provide justification for your point of view. Examine how the evidence would be used to support the aspect of the affirmative defense you select. Review, present, and comment on current legislation or other laws (this can include case studies) that have been enacted on the topic.
Your paper will have a title, abstract, and reference page. Please cite within your work as needed. I would like for you to use a minimum of five references for this paper. Your paper should be a minimum of three pages in length, double spaced; this does not include your title we, abstract, and reference pages.

Activity and assessment
To define the focus of your projects we will use a problem-based learning approach. Students on the module will work in common topic groups to develop a collaborative approach (partnership with staff and student team-working with peers) to tackle your project, breaking it in to manageable components and then work through an idealised 7-task process:
1. discuss the component and make sure everyone understands the problem
2. identify the questions that need to be answered to shed light on the component
3. brainstorm what the group already knows and identify potential solutions
4. analyse and structure the results of the brainstorming session
5. formulate learning objectives for the knowledge that is still lacking
6. do independent study, individually or in smaller groups: read articles or books, follow practicals, or attend lectures to gain the required knowledge
7. discuss the findings, reflect on the process, evaluate strengths, limitations and performance and their impact; set targets and plans for tackling weaknesses and developing strengths; formulate your individual assessment criteria
Summative coursework in the format of a scientific paper (2000 words) on environmental remote sensing and geospatial data analysis using a suitable application of the Google Earth Engine which includes
a. Introduction to your specific application which describes the environmental change that you intend to detect;
b. Methods section which describes the method and data you will use to detect change in space and / or time;
c. Results section which presents your findings by mapping change over space and / or a time series;
d. Discussion which compares your results with those in the scientific literature which you should cite;
e. Conclusion which describes what you now know from your findings that you didn’t know before;
f. Reference list of the literature you have cited;
g. Appendix 1: Earth Engine code used to produce the results
h. Appendix 2: self-assessment mark (0-100%) with justification (max 1 page A4) against assessment criteria.
To understand the level expected read the SEEC (2016) credit level 5 = year 2 undergraduate descriptors (Table 1). Please pay particular attention to the Summary and Setting of those year 2 descriptors.
To understand how to write your scientific paper, I have used the module learning outcomes guided by those year 2 descriptors to produce assessment criteria which you will also use in your self-assessment (Table 2).
Skills that will be practiced and developed during the module:
• Identify, access, use and explain remote sensing data to describe and detect a change in terrestrial ecosystems.
• Collaborate with others to become proficient in handling and analyzing geospatial data.
• Use IT and coding skills through utilisation of Cloud-based technology using the Google Earth Engine as appropriate to investigate terrestrial ecosystems.
• Reflect on and evaluate own strengths, limitations and performance and identify the impact of them in relation to own knowledge, learning methods, values and employability. Seek, evaluate and use feedback.
• Take responsibility for setting targets, initiating and implementing plans and activities for improving performance.
Your active participation in the discussions is essential to your overall success this term. Discussion questions will help you make meaningful connections between the course content and the larger concepts of the course. These discussions give you a chance to express your own thoughts, ask questions, and gain insight from your peers and instructor.
