Then, discuss the stylistic traits, characteristics, and unique features of the four gospels (as literature), including theories on which came first and possible sources.  This should be five pages, plus a bibliography. Mention in your discussion any debate you discover as to authorship of any one of these four works.

 

For this assignment you will need to consult works like Bible Dictionaries, Bible Encyclopedias, Commentaries, and other scholarly New Testament resources. See the Resources list I have provided for recommended library and on-line resources.

 

Please note:  There are standard rules for writing college papers, as well as how to do footnotes (or text notes) and bibliography. Internet sources need more information in a bibliography than you might realize. If you do not know how to do that, consult a guide for writing college papers.

Write 5 pages thesis on the topic internet is the greatest transformative force in human history. Anthony Giddens is a famous sociologist belonging to England. He is popular for giving a holistic view of modern humanity. According to him, the internet is the greatest factor which has revolutionized human history, or in other words, we can say that the internet is one of the basic drivers for the evolution of our social communities. His statement is cent percent right but if we critically review the proclamation then it can be argued that although the internet is the greatest one but still there can be many other forces which are playing their part in the transformation of human being or society. But all the social transitions are mainly caused by the involvement of technology and technology can be referred to as the internet.

‘While technology shapes the future, it is people who shape technology, and decide to what uses it can and should be put, ’Kofi Annan, United Nations Secretary-General. This means that although technology is prevailing over society and caused radical changes still it is in the hands of people that they decide the possible and advantageous use of technology. The Internet, World Wide Web, mobile cell-phones, digital television, and numerous other new electronic information and communication technologies (ICTs) are spanking new conduits for transforming the way we live, work, learn, and communicate (Dutton, 13).

The use of the internet, World Wide Web and many other digital media has been so much indulged in our lives that it has transformed all of life which may include our company, businesses, education system and even leisure time also or in other words we can say the whole society at large scale (Dutton, 1).

Although there are many other sources or factors which are part of this transition process the root cause is only the use of the internet or in other words the grasp of a human hand on the internet world. Now in this 21st century, we can contact all over the through video calls while sitting in our homes and using our personal computers. Now everything starting from the recipe of a cookbook and ending at the causes of severe disease are readily available at the spacious world of the internet. This wide world of technology covers almost every aspect of human life and thus providing ease to the social animal and thus we can say that the internet is the greatest force that causes a transition in the human history.

You will prepare and submit a term paper on Risk Assessment and Emergency Preparedness. Your paper should be a minimum of 1250 words in length.

Besides identification of terrorist groups and supporting organizations and running the War against Terrorism, it is essential that authorities should train and prepare personnel of the law enforcement agencies to handle and tackle a terrorist incident inefficient manner, as lack of preparedness and ineffective emergency response may help terrorists in fulfilling their devilish objectives. For such purpose, the State Department of Homeland Security has formed various terrorism reaction teams that will be responsible to handle situations during a terrorist attack, as well as a terrorist threat (White, 2006).

In specific, this paper will attempt to discuss various aspects of emergency preparedness and various issues regarding counter-terrorism that will benefit from keeping the region safe and secure from terrorism.It is an observation that rapid advancement in activities of terrorist organizations has resulted in an increase in the uncertainty about the future as countries are confronting terrorist attacks along with natural hazards. In the USA, California is one of the states that have continued to receive threats, and every now and then, its citizens are concerned about their wellbeing and protection.

In addition, studies have indicated that terrorist incidents are usually impulsive and result in huge wreckage and homeless people. Despite numerous safety measures, one cannot predict the potency of a terrorist attack, and in this scenario, a terrorism reaction team comprising of law enforcement personnel, healthcare professionals, firefighters, members of the civil society, etc will play a significant role in ensuring safety, as well as security of the Americans in case of a terrorist incident.

Although there is no rapid standardized way of determining the nature of a terrorist attack. however, emergency management is a procedure that enables professionals to alleviate factors and causes of the event, and subsequently, respond in a timely and efficient manner. Such a procedure involves comprehensive planning and the creation of a chain of command that will be authoritative at the time of any such event in the future.

Enterprise X wants to become more relevant to the global marketplace. As a Corporate Information Systems Management expert, you understand the role that IT Infrastructure plays in an internetworking environment. The problem is getting the decision makers at Enterprise X to understand what the technical requirements are for participation in the global marketplace. Business managers with a vision of the future for their company do not always know what is required to realize that vision. You, however, know that in order to make the necessary strategic shifts you are recommending, it will also be necessary to align the company’s corporate strategy with a new IS/IT strategy.

An effective way to communicate the IS/IT requirements for this major strategic shift is to describe how Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) can impact IT Infrastructure and how adopting SOA can enable Enterprise X with the IS/IT capabilities to enter the global marketplace. Research SOA and explain how business processes built into individual packages that can operate independently will make the IS/IT capabilities of Enterprise X more flexible for aligning a new corporate strategy with its IT Infrastructure.

(Note: You may also want to find relevant case studies on SOA and SOI [Service Oriented Infrastructure] vendor Web sites.) To submit your assignment:

  • Use Microsoft Word to write a 500- to 750-word Position Paper that describes your findings and recommendations.
  • You may include diagrams and illustrations to enhance and/or clarify technical issues. Remember that you will draw from this Position Paper to prepare your PowerPoint presentation.
  • Follow APA guidelines to write the report and cite your sources as appropriate.
  • Save the report as SU_MIS6020_W2_lastname_firstinitial.docx and submit it to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.

Part B. Presentation Component: IS/IT Capabilities

You have already researched pertinent issues and prepared a Position Paper that will guide you in presenting your proposed corporate strategy for Enterprise X. Now you must also prepare a new part of your strategy proposal where you will present your proposed IT Infrastructure based on SOA. Extract the more important technical issues from the Position Paper that you completed to create your PowerPoint presentation component for this week.

Keep in mind that each week you will work on a new aspect of your Final Project Presentation and, combined, these weekly presentations will become your Final Project proposal due in Week 5. Your Final Project Presentation will be published to the class in Week 5 for reflections and comments. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation with five to ten charts covering the aspects of your strategy described above.

Save your presentation as: SU_MIS6020_W2_Lastname_Firstinitial.pptx and submit it to the Submissions  Area along with your Position Paper by the due date assigned.
