[order_calculator]Terrorism is generally motivated by political objectives. Most politically motivated terrorist groups can be distinguished by their ideology. Their ideology outlines the boundaries within which these groups operate and thus determines their choice of targets. The ability to achieve these political objectives is rooted in process versus outcomes as it interacts with the ideology of the terrorist organization. Other external and internal factors also play a role in target selection.
The word ideology usually refers to an interlocking set of ideas that people use to explain why things are the way they are, and how they think things ought to be. For example, members of a nationalist group would be expected to think that they belong to a group of people who share things like culture, language, history, and heritage; and that because of sharing these things, this group of people should govern themselves, and not be governed by people who belong (in the nationalists opinion) to a different group.
Ideologies usually imply or may even be premised on achieving particular political objectives. Terrorists usually claim to be motivated to achieve objectives of this sort.
These underlying motivations impact the targets selected by terrorist groups. Many times, these targets are civilians as well as government institutions. The choice of these divergent targets is the result of ideology and the desire to achieve the goals of the terrorist group. Each target is selected based on the interaction of ideology, theology and goals.
Furthermore, the ideology of politically motivated groups frequently allows members to justify their violence and blame their enemies for forcing them to choose the path of violence. Such groups can have various reasons for resorting to violence, such as being unable to fulfill their goals through nonviolent means or the suppression by the government of nonviolent agitation.
Read the articles below regarding the relationship between ideology and target selection and answer the questions that follow.
Austin L. Wright, Terrorism, Ideology and Target Selection.
Max Abrahms, Matthew Ward, and Ryan Kennedy, Explaining Civilian Attacks: Terrorist Networks, Principal-Agent Problems, and Target Selection.
Instructions
Answer each of the following questions after youve read the listed articles. Each question will require a short essay response based on the reading material.
According to Abrahms, et al., process goals compete with outcome goals among principal and agent terrorist organizations. Explain a principal terrorist organization and an agent terrorist organization. Give examples. In your view, which type of terrorist organization wields the most power to achieve its goals? Why?
Abrahms, et al., frames the target selection of terrorists in terms of outcome versus process goals.
Which type of terrorist organization is most likely to focus on outcome goals? Why?
Which type of terrorist organization is most likely to focus on process goals? Why?
Explain the types of targets the focus of each of these goals is likely to choose. Why does each desired goal, outcome and process, select the target it does?
As explained by Wright, right-wing and left-wing terrorist groups generally focus on different groups as targets. What are the general differences Wright has found supported by the empirical data?
Another generalization suggested by the data, according to Wright, was how European governments have responded to terrorist attacks. What are the generalizations Wright has noted?
Is there normally a distinction between professed ideology of a group and that of the individual members? If so, why? If not, why not?
What are major classifications for terrorist ideologies? Please note and briefly define those classifications.
Wright presents a reasonable argument for the most opportunistic time for a government to confront a terrorist group. What is Wrights generalization?
According to Wright, what are the only consistent predictors of terrorist target selection? Provide illustrations that help explain this generalization.

[order_calculator]Canvas supports online learning and teaching. The point of our paper is to discuss how teachers using Canvas have the option of using closed captions and none do. How do we fix that? You NEED to talk about the suggestion I made: If the closed captions were automatic and at the end of the recording sessions the professor had to double-check the closed captioning before they are allowed to post it. Are there problems with that? What would the cost be (money-wise/who would pay)? What would the benefits be?

[order_calculator]Scenario
Smart businesses in all industries use data to provide an intuitive analysis of how they can get a competitive advantage. The real estate industry heavily uses linear regression to estimate home prices, as cost of housing is currently the largest expense for most families. Additionally, in order to help new homeowners and home sellers with important decisions, real estate professionals need to go beyond showing property inventory. They need to be well versed in the relationship between price, square footage, build year, location, and so many other factors that can help predict the business environment and provide the best advice to their clients.
Prompt
You have been recently hired as a junior analyst by D.M. Pan Real Estate Company. The sales team has tasked you with preparing a report that examines the relationship between the selling price of properties and their size in square feet. You have been provided with a Real Estate County Data document that includes properties sold nationwide in recent years. The team has asked you to select a region, complete an initial analysis, and provide the report to the team.
Note: In the report you prepare for the sales team, the response variable (y) should be the median listing price and the predictor variable (x) should be the median square feet.
Specifically you must address the following rubric criteria, using the Module Two Assignment Template:
Generate a Representative Sample of the Data
Select a region and generate a simple random sample of 30 from the data.
Report the median listing price and median square foot, report the mean, median, and standard deviation.
Analyze Your Sample
Discuss how the regional sample created is or is not reflective of the national market.
Compare and contrast your sample with the population using the National Statistics and Graphs document.
Explain how you have made sure that the sample is random.
Explain your methods to get a truly random sample.
Generate Scatterplot
Create a scatterplot of the x and y variables noted above and include a trend line and the regression equation
Observe patterns
Answer the following questions based on the scatterplot:
Define x and y. Which variable is useful for making predictions?
Is there an association between x and y? Describe the association you see in the scatter plot.
What do you see as the shape (linear or nonlinear)?
If you had a 1,200 square foot house, based on the regression equation in the graph, what price would you choose to list at?
Do you see any potential outliers in the scatterplot?
Why do you think the outliers appeared in the scatterplot you generated?
What do they represent?
You can use the following tutorials for support as you develop the report:
