Abstract
This paper examines the differences and likenesses of the Ku Klux Klan and the Irish Republican Army in their respective beliefs and goals, training techniques, tactics to gain social compliance, target selections and psychological profiles of their leaders to provide an indication of the ways terrorist groups can best be subdued and conquered. The author points out that terrorist groups are comprised of individuals who had felt marginalized and, through their involvement in the organization, develop a new sense of belonging, which makes them, especially adolescents and young adults, susceptible to manipulation. The paper suggests that religious terrorism can be conquered (1) by first understanding of the grievances and goals of the terrorist group before any effective and efficient count-terrorism plans can be implemented and (2) by using a holistic, rather than military, approach.
From the Paper
"Just as with the KKK, and in fact with all leaders of terrorist organizations, an examination of an IRA leader sheds light on the inner-workings of this group. Gerry Adams, leader of Sinn Fein--the political arm of the IRA, hails from a Roman Catholic patriotic family whose members were activists. With such a background, it seems unsurprising that Adams would perpetuate his ancestors' desire for social and political change. Just like Simmons of the KKK, he possesses great charisma and has been able to mobilize large groups to unite for a common cause. What's more he has added substantial political clout to Sinn Fein. Adams has been described as an acutely intelligent individual who views violence as a medium of communication."

Abstract
This paper examines how in a changing health care environment the need for a change in leadership is evident and how in order to meet the demands of this change, health care agencies have moved away from traditional non-practitioner management positions and toward clinically experienced administrators whose role falls heavily on Master?s level nursing professionals. It shows how E.A. Hemman's article "Leadership Profiles of Senior Nurse Executives" puts forward a stratified systems theory describing three hierarchical functional domains: strategic, organizational and production in order to create a suitable nursing/managerial profile. Each of the three levels of management are further analyzed by four general categories decision making, information giving-seeking, influencing people and building relationships. The paper also critiques the article pointing out facts such as implications of financial and economic strain has and will continue to put on the health care executive.
From the Paper
"Critiquing the comments of Hemman only one omission seems evident, and it may be addressed in the research and just not mentioned in the study write up. The omission of great import is that it is acknowledged early on that many of the changes associated with the change in health care delivery are associated with the economic and financial differences in the whole industry as compared to prior delivery system standards. For this reason I believe it may be important to further discuss the implications that financial and economic strain have and will continue to put on the health care executive."

Abstract
This paper discusses six senators as presented in the book "Profiles in Courage" by John F. Kennedy, showing their backgrounds, their political points of view, their acts, and the aftermath in each case. The six senators discussed are John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Thomas Hart Benton, Sam Houston, Edmund G. Ross, and Lucius Lamar, covering the nineteenth century from the early period through and past the Civil War.
From the Paper
"John F. Kennedy offers a series of portraits of U.S. Senators and their courageous political acts in the face of adversity in his book 'Profiles in Courage'. He features Senators because he himself was in the Senate at the time, and he could include other political leaders who also displayed courage in their professional lives. The men he does choose to profile represent a number of different political backgrounds and points of view. John Quincy Adams was a young Senator from Massachusetts, the same position as Kennedy when he wrote his book. At the time, the Senate was just developing as an institution. Adams was a Federalist, the leading political party of the time, a party that emerged from the late colonial period through the efforts of men like Madison and Jay, the writers of The Federalist Papers.

Creating Profiles, 2005.
An overview of racial profiling in the United States.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Racial profiling is the use of racial generalizations or stereotypes as a basis for stopping, searching, or questioning an individual. The paper examines this process in the post 9-11 American law system and shows why it is a negative thing.
From the Paper
"Most important, relying on race as a factor for suspicion violates the first principle of criminal law: individual responsibility. The state's authority to take its citizens' liberty, and in extreme cases, lives, turns on the premise that all are equal before the law (source). Racial generalizations fail to treat people as individuals. As a result, policies that tolerate racial profiling undermine the legitimacy of criminal law."

Terrorists or Freedom Fighters - A Decision of Perception. Terrorists or Freedom Fighters?, 2002.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This is a question of perspective and of side. Depending upon the side you find yourself upon, your ideology, and your religion, determining who is fighting for the greater good and who is simply a terrorist is an impossibility of perception. Culturally, there is a great deal of support for freedom fighters. They are associated with the development of anti-oppression movements that we most closely associate with the American Revolution. To the British, the Boston Massacre was the suppression of terrorists, to the Americans, it was the massacre of innocents seeking nothing more than personal and communal freedom. This is how the world perceives Afghanis, members of Al Qaeda, and the combatants in Chechnya - as either terrorists or freedom fighters. It is the purpose of this paper to examine differences in perspectives on terrorism and how each group is perceived.

Abstract
This paper makes an attempt to better understand the profiles of three personalities who made a marked impact on the world during their time of preeminence. Illustrated here are the three renowned dictators, who shared the same dream of conquering the entire world so that they could integrate it as one nation, irrespective of barriers such as religion, culture, and geography. A critical examination is made of the personalities of Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Adolf Hitler.
From the Paper
"History has often seen many a famous personality who has influenced the ways of the world leaving behind legacies that would ponder upon forever. Their acts no matter how trivial and insignificant have shaped the course of history and changed the destiny of many countries. They have in some manner or the other transformed the livelihood of their subjects and been a strong sense of inspiration combined with an unparalleled persona representing absolute power and total supremacy. Their identities are second to none and their campaigns building blocks of history. In their total might and valour, they were a force to reckon with. Often gifted with a magnificent charisma and an aura that has no equivalent, they reigned supreme and earned a rightful place in history."

Abstract
This paper compiles a learning profile for middle 30s to early 40s. Certain assumptions were made about this age group in order to classify the information gathered. It is assumed that this age group falls into the Generation X, or Thirteenth Generation of the United States, because the ages fall within the age ranges for GenX. It was also determined that this age group is a small portion of the late-boomers, or Baby boomers, due to the ages designated as well. The author discusses interesting facts about this learning population including that they are thought to be dependent on the instructor for direction and motivation, but adult learners are self-directed and self-motivated. This generation benefits from a myriad of teaching methods incorporated from both pedagogical and andragogical areas.
From the Paper
"Learning Activities: Mutual Consent Motivated by external factors such as grade, learning activities should be standardized with uniform progression for all parties involved. ?Learning activities such as internal areas in need of progress the educator needs to create conditions to help the student discover needs, and adapt to change? (Bale 2000) as quoted by Bale."

Racial Profiling in Airports, 2004.

Abstract
This paper introduces the topic of racial profiling in airports. Specifically, it discusses how terrorist attacks in America call for increasing racial profiling in airports, similar to Israel's El Al Airlines racial profiling tactics. It looks at how racial profiling is a highly controversial topic and how some countries have found racial profiling helps keep people safer, while many political groups feel it is a clear violation of rights and should never be used. It evaluates how, although racial profiling may be controversial, after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, it may be one of the only reliable ways available to keep the country safe from further attacks.
From the Paper
"The ACLU feels that people "of color" are searched and detained more often in airports, and one African-American, Aquil Abdullah, agrees, as he is routinely stopped almost every time he travels by air. "He knows what the problem is. It's not hard to figure out ? once he introduces himself. His name is Aquil Abdullah. Aquil Abdullah thinks his name is on a list somewhere of suspect people" (Schlesinger). Abdullah is an American athlete, who is the first to win the prestigious Henley Regatta in Britain, and ironically, he is not even Muslim, he is a Catholic. His story is not unusual, and groups such as the ACLU cite his experience as one of the reasons racial profiling is a violation of rights. Abdullah is stopped simply because of his name."

Racial Profiling, 2002.
An insight into racial profiling, the use of race as the primary indicator of criminal behavior to stop or arrest individuals from minority groups.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the concept of racial profiling, using race to profile criminals and how African-Americans and other minority groups have been unfairly targeted by law enforcement officials. It looks at how racial profiling taps into one of the irreconcilable conflicts of American society, liberty versus security, although with racial profiling, it has been shown that crime has been significantly reduced in major cities, such as New York City. It shows how ultimately, racial profiling has created a gulf between law enforcement and the minority communities it purports to protect and how all too frequently, innocent people are persecuted. In other situations, people from the minority community refuse to testify on behalf of law enforcement in trials against criminals because of the minority people?s distrust of law enforcement.
From the Paper
"Against incriminating statistics that police unfairly target minorities is the reality that most of the criminals come from minority neighborhoods and communities. One of the statistics cited by the liberals is the 1998 statistic stating that 83 percent of the 27,000 "stop and frisk" incidents by a special police unit concerned minorities. However, according to New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, this statistic does not translate into the fact that policemen are deliberately harassing individuals from minority neighborhoods. Instead, these statistics reflect the reality that many suspects, whose ethnicities are described by their victims, come from minority communities (Getlin). According to national figures, blacks comprise 13 percent of the American population, but over 40 percent of the arrests for rape and car theft (Puddington 5)."

A profile of Israel's counter-terrorist strategy.
7,596 words (approx. 30.4 pages), 12 sources, APA, $ 166.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper considers the terrorist threats faced by Israel, mostly in the period since the Six Day War, and assesses Israeli counter-terrorist efforts. It covers Israel's evolving counter-terrorist strategy and considers its effectiveness given the changing terrorist landscape in the area. It concludes with recommendations for future Israeli counter-terrorist policies.
From the Paper
"Throughout its short, 55-year history, the State of Israel has existed in a constant state of emergency stemming from the unwavering military and terrorist threats posed by opposition groups inside and outside the nation?s borders. Nearly a century of political violence ? propagated in the region by neighboring states, foreign terrorist organizations, and internal dissidents since even before Israel?s founding in 1948 ? has profoundly shaped the history, politics, and culture of Israel and, to a large extent, the world?s Jewish population. Israel was formed in the midst of a decades-old conflict in the Middle East, and despite several large strides towards a peaceful existence in the time since, she still finds herself enmeshed in a bloody battle for survival and tranquility with many of her familiar foes."
