Review the “Report to Congress on Military and Security Development Involving the DPRK.”

Question descriptionONE PAGE ONLY ONE PAGE ONLY ONE PAGE ONLY ONE PAGE ONLY ONE PAGE ONLY ONE PAGE ONLY ONE

Deterrence is based on some key assumptions, most importantly, actors are rational. From there it is a cost-benefit calculation—an attack is deterred if the costs outweigh the benefits. States determine the capability of the state actor, the credibility of the threat, communications and calculation—the 4 C’s. What makes a deterrent capability credible? In our age of nuclear weapons, France and Great Britain decided to attain their own nuclear arsenals based on doubts about the United States extending its nuclear umbrella to defend them if they are attacked. They questioned whether the United States would willingly invite an attack on itself by coming to the defense of France or Great Britain? A new concern for deterrence is the rogue state/non-state actors, or nuclear aspirants gaining a credible nuclear capability.

 North Korea Parades Nuclear Missile

North Korea Parades Nuclear Missile

Former President George W. Bush confirmed North Korea’s nuclear strike capability in his book, ‘Decision Points:”

“Kim also maintained a nuclear weapons program and a ballistic missile capability that threatened two U.S. allies – South Korea and Japan- and could potentially reach America’s west coast” (page 423)

In response, the West Coast defense system consists of 14 additional ground-based missile interceptors on the West Coast deployed by the Obama Administration adding to the 30 interceptors deployed since 2004 in California and Alaska. These missiles are capable of shooting down incoming missiles in space.

North Korea (officially the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea or DPRK) stated officially in 2009 it developed a nuclear weapon, and stockpiled a small number of nuclear weapons.

NOTE: North Korea may also have a chemical and/or biological weapons capability.

Directions

1. Review the “Report to Congress on Military and Security Development Involving the DPRK.”

http://archive.defense.gov/pubs/Report_to_Congress_on_Military_and_Security_Developments_Involving_the_DPRK.pdf

2. If deterrence worked during the Cold War, could it now work against a new nuclear state like North Korea? In the cost-benefit calculation, do the costs of a U.S. deterrent strategy outweigh the benefits of North Korea‘s nuclear strike capability?

3. Use information from your text to address the “Security Dilemma” states like North Korea face as they build arms to become more secure, and Henry Kissinger’s “Absolute Security Theory” – “Absolute security for one power means absolute insecurity for all others.”

4. Write a one-page response focusing on Deterring North Korea.

Pick a psychoactive drug (drug that affects the brain), investigate this drug, and write a summary in which you discuss the drug you researched.

please read through the instruction and use apa citation!!!!!!

Pick a psychoactive drug (drug that affects the brain), investigate this drug, and write a summary in which you discuss the drug you researched. Your summary should discuss and cite the sources you found and provide answers to the questions posted below. Also discuss any other information you find interesting.

The drugs discussed in the book are the following:

ALCOHOL, HEROIN, NICOTINE, COCAINE, LSD, MARIJUANA

Feel free to pick any of them, or another similar drug (e.g. meth, morphine), or any other psychoactive drug you are interested in researching. Address these questions in your summary:

1. Which category does this drug belong to (depressants, opiates, stimulants, etc.)?
2. What is known about the effects of this drug in the brain and in the rest of the body? Which neurotransmitter(s) is/are associated with this drug?
3. What are some typical psychological and behavioral effects of this drug?
4. If you find other interesting information about the drug, tell us about that.

Once you have a topic, do the following:

1. Write a summary of your topic (approximately one page is fine), addressing the questions in the assignment, and also discussing any additional information you found about the drug. Find at least TWO SOURCES. Our textbook is fine as one of the sources. You can also use academic peer-reviewed journal articles, books, newspaper articles, films, academic websites (WIKIPEDIA DOES NOT COUNT FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT). The most credible websites are based on research findings and often end in .edu or .org. The best method for you for finding peer-reviewed journal articles is to use the library search tools such as Academic Search Complete. If you search for a particular key term (e.g. marijuana), you will usually get a list of journal article abstracts, often with direct links to the actual articles. Peer-reviewed articles typically contain subsections such as an abstract, introduction, methods, results and discussion. Sometimes they are “review articles” that review many studies (rather than report the results of an original experiment) and may not include all of these subsections, but you can still recognize them in the library search since they are labeled as an “Academic journal” (rather than “Periodical” which are not peer-reviewed).

2. Post your written summary on Canvas as a discussion post in the REPLY box below (by Sun Feb 12th midnight). List your sources in APA style at the end of your summary. (10 points)

3. Read other students’ summaries, and reply to one of them (by Tues Feb 14th midnight). You can ask questions, comment on their information, tell about your knowledge related to their topic, etc. (5 points)

Your summary must be IN YOUR OWN WORDS. Every time you use the words and/or ideas of an outside source, you must appropriately cite that source in APA style IN THE TEXT. YOU MUST ALWAYS INDICATE IN THE TEXT WHERE YOU GOT THE INFORMATION EVEN IF YOU WRITE IT IN YOUR OWN WORDS. (PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE DIRECT QUOTATIONS IN YOUR SUMMARY EXCEPT IN UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES; IT’S ALWAYS BETTER TO WRITE IN YOUR OWN WORDS). Please provide a list of the references at the end of the assignment in APA style (see the APA style guide link posted on the website. Choose the correct way to list the reference based on the source you are using, e.g. journal article).

When you cite a source in the text of your summary, use the name of the author(s) and publication year in parentheses. Here’s how:

Cocaine is a strong central nervous system stimulant (Smith, 2010). Alcohol, on the other hand, is a strong depressant (Zhang & Jones, 2001).

Or:

According to Smith (2010), cocaine is a strong central nervous system stimulant. In contrast, Zhang & Jones (2001) discuss the effects of a strong depressant, alcohol, on the central nervous system.

If there is no author (which may sometimes happen with websites), use the the first few words of the reference list entry (usually the title). Use double quotation marks. Examples:

For citations with no author:

A similar study was done of students learning to format research papers (“Using APA,” 2001).

No author & no date:

In another study of students and research decisions, it was discovered that students succeeded with tutoring (“Tutoring and APA,” n.d.).
