Narco Terrorism – Infiltration of terrorist groups in the international drug trade

 

I am looking for a paper on global narco-terrorism and its theories. A look into various narco-terror groups in different regions to provide a global risk assessment and the linkages of these groups to the international drug trade.

It would be welcomed if the paper touch on the notion that linkages and cooperation of terrorist and organized criminal groups facilitated effective operation that is continually inflicting havoc and confusion in an unrestricted evolutionary global framework, since these groups have made logistical inroads through exploitation of growing global inequalities, deepened poverty, deteriorating standards of living, and the debt challenges facing the developing world.

Assignment 

 
Tasks:

While “Theology of Community and Ministry” is the third chapter of your ministry project, you are submitting it first. The chapter should address two elements clearly—theology of community and theology of ministry. Let us look at these elements in detail.

Theology of Community: What we believe about the church and Christian fellowship is central to our understanding of ministry. The theology of community section forms the other part of the theological foundations for your project, alongside your theology of ministry section. Here, you will present a practical ecclesiology—a systematic presentation of your understanding of Christian community as it relates to your ministry project.
In the first part of this chapter, you should survey the following issue areas:

The primary biblical passages and motifs that inform your understanding of Christian community
The essential features of your tradition’s view of ecclesiology (Roman Catholic, Baptist, Pentecostal, etc.), including an assessment of its strengths and weaknesses related to your project
Perspectives from other ecclesial traditions that might inform your project
Theology of Ministry: In the second part of the chapter, you address specific theological issues related to the ministry project, such as:
Identifying and describing the biblical and theological principles or perspectives that inform the research question or problem, with careful attention to the issues of context and interpretation
Identifying and describing relevant perspectives from your theological or ecclesial tradition
Critically examining other historical or current theological approaches that are relevant to the research question or problem and offering a comparison and contrast with your own approach
After reading the chapter, a reader should be able to:

Identify the key theological and ecclesiological issues at stake in your ministry project.
Understand your particular theological and ecclesiological perspective on the research question or problem.
Discern the relationship between your theological and ecclesiological commitments and the shape of your ministry project.
Typically, this chapter is organized as follows:

Chapter 3: Theology of Community and Ministry……………………….. #
Theology of Community………………………………………………………. #
Biblical and Theological Motifs……………………………………. #
A Contemporary (your tradition here) View of Christian Community……………………………………………………………. #
Implications for the Ministry Project…………………………….. #
Theology of Ministry…………………………………………………………… #
Issue A…………………………………………………………………. #
Issue B…………………………………………………………………. #
Issue C…………………………………………………………………. #
Historical and Contemporary Approaches……………………… #
Application/Integration to the Ministry Project…………………………… #
All written assignments and responses should follow Turabian (8th ed.) rules for attributing sources. Refer to Kate L. Turabian’s A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations and Doctor of Ministry Final Project Handbook for content and formatting of this chapter.

discusion questions

 
Problem 1: Process Methodology
A common process methodology is the BP Trends approach discussed in the Reading this week. Process creation, change, or revision can come from the top-down or from the bottom-up within an organization. With this in mind review the BPTrends Enterprise Methodology (Figure 3.2) and answer the following questions:

1. Why do you believe the ongoing strategy process (see figure 3.2) is a continuous loop? Make sure you provide information to support your answer.
2. Of the different process tools (see figure 3.2) which do you believe is the most difficult for the organization to control and why?

Problem 2 Measuring Processes
Process design and implementation is outcome driven. To achieve desired outcomes, successful process design results from an understanding of the task(s), which will complete or support the task(s), as well as any restrictions (legal, physical, or other) to the process design. However, successful design implementation depends on the use of metrics to manage and measure the process(es). With this in mind address the following questions:
1. Select one task that you are currently or were previously responsible for performing. Isolate the type of metric measurement used to evaluate the task process to determine if the process was being followed correctly.

2. Address how frequently the process was evaluated and whether the feedback provided contributed toward or detracts from successful outcome(s) for that process. If no performance measurement is used, identify a set of measurements to evaluate the task and discuss how and why that measurement would ensure successful task completion.
Problem 3: The Organization and Process Change
Process creation, revision, and implementation are all predicated on the ability of the organization and its employees and vendors to accept change. The organization may have the will to change yet find its employees are reluctant and resistant to change.
For this Discussion consider this change resistance in addressing the following:
1. Evaluate the role of an Executive Level BPM Group. Who would be members of that group and how is this group responsible for reducing resistance to change?
2. Deduce at least one method by which the organization can reduce change resistance?
3. Does the use of Six Sigma, or the Balanced Scorecard within an organization contribute toward or reduce resistance to process change? If so, how? If not, why not?

Topic: Personal Media Inventory

 
Complete: Personal Media Inventory Essay & Worksheet ~ Due Sunday

Instructions
Using this Personal Media Inventory Worksheet (also attached), compile an inventory of all of the media (radio, print, TV, Internet, cell phones, movies, etc.) to which you are exposed from the time you wake to the time you go to sleep for two consecutive days.

After compiling this inventory and participating in the related Week 1 discussion activities in LEO, ponder the implications of your media use in the context of the mass communication and media literacy theories that you explored in this week’s learning resources. (Please do not complete this assignment until you have read all of the Week 1 reading assignments.) Compose an essay of 750-1,050 words that addresses at least the following:
•Use your personal media inventory to help you describe and explain to an alien who has never visited our planet how humans generally use media.
•Analyze and explain what your inventory communicates about your media dependency.
•Analyze and explain what your inventory communicates about media ecology.
•Analyze and explain what the media technologies in your inventory demonstrate about media convergence.
•Analyze and interpret how the technologies in your inventory have affected your sense of self and social life.
•Interpret and hypothesize what you think your media use suggests about media ubiquity and its effects on American society.

You will need to connect your observations about your media use to specific media literacy and mass communication theory and research that you read about in the course text and in our first class, so use the links provided here to help you frame your thoughts. Consult at least four authoritative sources for the mass communication concepts that you discuss, and make sure their in-text citations and end-of-text references reflect AP rules, which can be found here.
