Risk and Resistance: Risk Acceptance and Protesting Behavior in Democratic and Non-Democratic Countries Abstract Kam’s (2012) theoretical framework argues that risk-accepting individuals participate in politics because they enjoy exciting and novel activities. Given that nondemocracies are more repressive than democracies, how might individuals’ acceptance of risk and system of government influence the decision to protest? Using data from the 2005-2014 World Values Survey, I find that highly risk- accepting individuals in democratic countries are much more likely to report a willingness to participate in future political boycotts than their less risk-accepting counterparts. Substantively, the results indicate that highly risk-accepting individuals are 52% and 41% more likely to boycott in median democratic countries compared to other members of society depending on whether one uses Freedom House or Polity IV scores. Further, I find no evidence that risk acceptance influences demonstrating or petitioning. Low risk-accepting individuals are more hesitant in their willingness to risk life and limb by challenging the status quo in democratic and non-democratic countries. 2 1 Introduction Why are some citizens willing to protest their government while others passively turn a blind eye and abstain? Scholars offer three schools of thought regarding individual protest behavior. The first, disaffected radicalism, argues that protesters are unsatisfied with or alienated from traditional representative channels (Gurr 1970). Second, strategic resource scholars suggest that protests are a function of civic expression rather than disaffection with the political process (Inglehart 1977; 1997). A third school argues the decision to protest is dependent upon the context of the political environment rather than any generalizable motivation. Scholars dedicate a plethora of resources to better understand why individuals participate in politics generally, and protests specifically, because political participation increases democratic satisfaction (Anderson et al. 2005; Blais & Gélineau 2007) and political equality (Rosenstone & Hansen 1993). Further, protests are often successful, lead to political change, and allow citizens to express their grievances and policy preferences to political elites (Celestino & Gleditsch 2013; Hooghe & Marien 2014; Stephan & Chenoweth 2008). By considering additional explanations of protest behavior, scholars can better understand how and why some governments are more responsive to citizen preferences than others. Psychology scholars offer valuable insight into this debate by considering individuals’ risk acceptance, defined as the extent to which individuals seek out risky behaviors and uncertain outcomes (Ehrlich & Maestas 2010; Weber, Blais, & Betz 2002). Risk-accepting individuals are generally comfortable with uncertainty (Ehrlich & Maestas 2010; Le.

Risk and Threat Assessment Report Anthony Wolf BSA/ 520 May 11th, 2020 Jeffery McDonough Running head: RISK AND THREAT ASSESSMENT REPORT 1 RISK AND THREAT ASSESMENT REPORT 2 Risk and Threat Assessment Report The rise of innovation and technological advancement has affected the aspects of technology in different ways. Improvement of software and operating systems gives hackers a reason to strive and develop more complex forms of overweighing security measures on those applications. Traditional application security best practices and secure coding are often recommended in protecting different applications against runtime attacks. Runtime application self-protection is an emerging application in the protection of software applications, data, and databases. The increase in attacks has triggered the development of security technology that is linked or build into an application runtime environment. Besides, database deployment is safeguarded by run time application self-protection that can control the execution of applications, detecting, and preventing real-time attacks. The threats and risks associated with operating systems, networks, and software systems are significant concerns to users. The internet has changed how people do their businesses. With the growth of e-commerce and other online transactions, there has been a subsequent increase in internet risk threats that are commonly occasioned by hacking and malware attacks. There are different types of e-commerce threats and might be accidental, deliberately done by perpetrators, or occur due to human error. The most prevalent threats are money theft, unprotected services, credit card fraud, hacking, data misuse, and phishing attacks. Heats associated with online transactions can be prevented or reduced by keeping the credit cards safe. Consumers/customers should be advised to avoid carrying their credit cards in their wallets since they increase the chances of misplacement. Each buyer should be cautious when using their you’re their online credit information. The advancement in technology has seen an increase in online transactions. The practice of doing business transactions via the internet is called e-commerce. Their growth has subsequently lead to the rise in internet risk threats that are commonly occasioned by hacking and malware attacks. E-commerce is the activity of conducting transactions via the internet. Internet transactions can be drawn on various technologies, including internet marketing, electronic data exchanges, automated data collection systems, electronic fund transfer, and mobile commerce. Online transaction threats occur by using the internet for unfair means with the aim of fraud, security breach, and stealing. The use of electronic payment systems has a substantial risk of fraud. It uses the identity of a customer to authorize a payment like security questions and passwords. If someone accesses a customer's password, he will gain access to his accounts and.

“Rise of the Machines” Is Not a Likely Future Every new technology brings its own nightmare scenarios. Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are no exceptions. Indeed, the word “robot” was coined for a 1920 play that dramatized just such a doomsday for humanity. Recently, an open letter about the future of AI, signed by a number of high-profile scientists and entrepreneurs, spurred a new round of harrowing headlines like “Top Scientists Have an Ominous Warning about Artificial Intelligence,” and “Artificial Intelligence Experts Sign Open Letter to Protect Mankind from Machines.” The implication is that the machines will one day displace humanity. Let’s get one thing straight: a world in which humans are enslaved or destroyed by superintelligent machines of our own creation is purely science fiction. Like every other technology, AI has risks and benefits, but we cannot let fear dominate the conversation or guide AI research. Nevertheless, the idea of dramatically changing the AI research agenda to focus on AI “safety” is the primary message of a group calling itself the Future of Life Institute (FLI). FLI includes a handful of deep thinkers and public figures such as Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking and worries about the day in which humanity is steamrolled by powerful programs run a muck. As eloquently described in the book Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies by FLI advisory board member and Oxford-based philosopher Nick Bostrom, the plot unfolds in three parts. In the first part—roughly where we are now—computational power and intelligent software develops at an increasing pace through the toil of scientists and engineers. Next, a breakthrough is made: programs are created that possess intelligence on par with humans. These programs, running on increasingly fast computers, improve themselves extremely rapidly, resulting in a runaway “intelligence explosion.” In the third and final act, a singular super-intelligence takes hold—outsmarting, outmaneuvering, and ultimately outcompeting the entirety of humanity and perhaps life itself. End scene. Let’s take a closer look at this apocalyptic storyline. Of the three parts, the first is indeed happening now and Bostrom provides cogent and illuminating glimpses into current and near-future technology. The third part is a philosophical romp exploring the consequences of supersmart machines. It’s that second part—the intelligence explosion—that demonstrably violates what we know of computer science and natural intelligence. Runaway Intelligence? The notion of the intelligence explosion arises from Moore’s Law, the observation that the speed of computers has been increasing exponentially since the 1950s. Project this trend forward and we’ll see computers with the computational power of the entire human race within the next few decades. It’s a leap to go from this idea to unchecked growth of machine intelligence, however. First, ingenuity is not the sole bottleneck to developing faster com.

Right from the start, there have been nations, and nations have governments. A government is usually elected by the people, and at different times, the elects need help to address the nation. This is what prompts politicians to say, ‘ Write me a speech,’ which will eventually be used to deliver a message to a large group of people. When a speech is being delivered, there are several factors that are considered. To write and deliver a message to the people is no easy job. The very first is the outfit and dressing of the speaker. The second is the reputation and integrity of the speaker addressing the people. The third is the manner in which the speech is structured and the words used in conveying the message. Other things that need to be concentrated on by the speaker during a speech include gesticulation and aural channels. Speeches have been known to influence the public. A simple wrong sentence can have a negative effect on the citizens of a country and can spark reactions, riots and even mass protests. Speeches have been known to break down diplomacy between countries and start wars. Since the importance of a speech cannot be emphasized enough, it practically means a speech needs to be analyzed and reviewed with utmost care. Why Politicians Need to Order Speeches Political figures usually have a whole lot to do when they’re in power. For instance, presidents of countries have to manage the implementation of the law by installing and taking off different officers. They also have to append their signatures on laws and bills that need to be passed into the constitution. A president’s main obligation is to ensure the smooth running and stability of the government and to make sure all the laws in the constitution are adhered to. The president also has to supervise the affairs pertaining to foreign policy and make treaties that favor the nation in terms of trade and commerce, appoint ambassadors to other countries and also monitor the affairs of policies affecting American businesses, the economy and its citizens. A cabinet of the president’s choice is appointed to oversee various key sectors of government operations. Because of these numerous tasks mentioned above that have to be done by presidents, most of them hardly have any time to handle anything else. This also includes not being able to make the time for carefully proofreading the content and structure of the numerous speeches they have to give to the public. Keeping in mind the weighty effects of a speech, most presidents have to hire a writer or writers to handle that aspect for them. Most people miss the point of political figures ordering speeches. Several individuals have the idea that the ghostwriter totally controls everything about the speech giving it the semblance of speechwriters actually controlling the emotions of the public. They forget that the content and structure make up half of the effect of the speech and the charisma, appearance and non-verbal approach of th.

RIM Communication Plan MGT-550 Andrea Taylor Southern New Hampshire University This presentation is about RIM, a wireless solutions and mobile device company falling under scrutiny for a toxic organizational culture. After an open letter was published on the tech website BGR, RIM’s negative workplace culture was exposed including oppressed communications at all levels. The CEOs found themselves at the center of the scrutiny and this presentation is meant to demonstrate effective strategies for RIM to apply to this severe situation that could dismantle RIM within their industry and public relations. Goals Rebuild internal trust and civility at RIM. Create a new open communication plan that reinstates the mission and vision of the organizational culture at RIM. Dismantle the previous toxic attributes to the organizational culture. Rebuild the external trust at RIM within the tech industry and with customers. Create platforms for open communication to allow for more innovation and bring RIM back into the competition in the tech industry. As RIM was already facing internal issues “from a dwindling market share, failed product attempts, and a sinking stock price”(Bigus, 2012, p. 6). An RIM senior executive made the decision to make the letter public due to the “culture at RIM does not allow us to speak openly without having to worry about the career-limiting effects”(Bigus, 2012, p. 5). At RIM it is more critical than ever to focus on employee engagement as the organization should be “speaking to the employee as the consumer”(Breman, 2017). Best efforts to ensure that stakeholder contributions, efforts, and overall happiness are meeting business goals and while completing their mission is a major focal point for Balsillie and Lazaridis to achieve through effective communication at all levels with all employees. To better the relationship management at RIM, more frequent face to face interaction must occur as well as more open communication throughout the workplace and through various channels such as email, surveys, anonymous feedback, and meetings to foster the relationship management on a professional and personal matter. To eliminate the limitations in relation to product development, more openness toward idea exchanges to foster the innovation and creation that RIM desperately needs to rebuild their brand. To dissolve the unenjoyable workplace issue, maintaining civility as professionals must occur and all employees must be held accountable for their performances, contributing to a positive workplace culture, and professionalism meanwhile utilizing filtering to aid responses that exhibit empathy, understanding, and informational exchanges. Target Audience Employees at all levels will be the main focus of internal communication. Industry critics, publication sights/media, as well as customers will be the main focus of external communications. The entire organization at RIM will be the focal, target audience, considering the .

Riku is a 19-year-old college student. One morning, after a long night of studying, Riku woke up and made himself a hot cup of coffee and toast. Much to his surprise, when he brought the cup to his mouth to drink, the coffee spilt onto the table. Riku went to the bathroom mirror and noticed the left side of his face seemed to droop. He quickly got dressed and ran to the medical clinic on the college campus. As he ran, his left eye began to feel scratchy and dry, but he could not blink in response. The physician at the clinic listened to Riku’s story and then did a careful cranial nerve examination. She concluded that Riku had Bell palsy, an inflammatory condition of the facial nerve most likely caused by a virus. Student Name: · What are an afferent neuron and efferent neuron?

Right to Portland Parks and Recreation Community Centers I believe that everyone has the right to access recreational community centers and the free activities that come with them. Portland Parks and Recreation (PP&R) is funded through taxes by the citizens of Portland. One of the community centers is Mt. Scott Community Center, located in southeast Portland. This center has been an important part of my life since I was a young child. I’ve been going to Mt. Scott Community Center for my whole life, and my perception of it has changed over time. When I was younger there was only two reasons for going to the community center; either I was playing basketball at an open gym or in one of the little leagues, or I was swimming at the in pool. I now work at Mt. Scott as a lifeguard. Now that I am an adult and employed by the center, I see how important the programs are to youth. I was one of the individuals whose beliefs were shaped by the equitable access to interesting and fun recreational programs. I know firsthand how crucial it is for youth to be involved in active and positive activities. Being involved with this center as an adult has helped to shape my belief in the importance of the parks programs for all. In 2012, Portland Parks & Recreation developed a strategic plan that states that “Public parks and recreation contribute endless benefits to the community. The outcomes are “more than fun and games,” playing a substantial role in developing healthy lives and building community, preventing crime and providing positive alternatives for youth.” However, this report also states that not all Portlanders have equal access to recreation facilities and the opportunities they offer. The data showed that youth in communities of color and the elderly do not have enough facilities near them and that it is a hardship to travel to recreation centers that were further away. In Portland, many of the black families moved from NE Portland to outer SE Portland. This gentrification, the systematic process of upgrading a neighborhood so that the existing residents can’t afford to live there, caused an influx of communities of color to relocate to southeast where the cost of housing was cheaper. The 2016 Performance Report from PP&R reveals that the East Portland Community Center, which serves this neighborhood, is inadequate both in size and services to meet the needs of the youth and elderly that live in the area. Because I believe that every person has the right to participate in recreation programs in Portland, It is important to the health of our city that every individual have the support needed to access a recreational facility. Portland Parks and Recreation refers to this effort as “closing the play gap”. To close this gap, PPR needs to improve their facilities, do outreach in a variety of places such as schools and neighborhood associations and to partner with other agencies like Tri-Met for transportation to the recreation centers.

Rilke Letters Assignment (FINAL ESSAY) Core 110—Spring 2019 Read the following directions carefully. Instead of a final exam, you will write an essay (or letters) related to the assigned reading of Letters to a Young Poet. The approximate length is 3-4 pages (MLA format). The final draft is due at the scheduled time for your class’s final exam period (see Moodle for details and submission link). We WILL NOT meet for a final exam. Choose ONE of the following options for your assignment. Your writing will be graded in accordance with the standards provided in your course syllabus, including content, grammar, and style. Use your knowledge of the writing process we employed throughout the course. You must brainstorm, draft, revise, edit, and proofread. We will not complete this process during class. You are responsible for working through the writing process. Format your essay using standard MLA, as we have done all semester: double-spaced lines, 1-inch margins, 12 pt font, identifying information (your name, course, etc). When citing text, refer to the author and page # in MLA format. Use only the primary source (Rilke's Letters) and do not use research sources. Since you will only use primary sources, no reference list is needed. YOU MAY NOT USE SOURCES/OUTSIDE RESEARCH. Non- compliance with this constitutes cheating and will result in failure. General directions and tips:  Focus on analysis.  Use textual support from the Letters text to SHOW—illustrate ideas and analyze the text rather than just reporting or telling (skills you used in each of your course essays).  Assume your reader is already familiar with Letters to a Young Poet. In other words, DO NOT provide a plot summary.  Center your writing on an original, meaningful thesis sentence.  Structure your writing with an interesting introduction, a substantial body with paragraphing, and a meaningful conclusion.  When referring to the action of the text, use the literary present tense, such as: Rilke advises the young poet to. . . .; When the poet asks Rilke's advice about his poetry, Rilke responds. . . . Options: Choose ONE— 1. Rilke discusses many topics in response to the young poet, Kappus, in his letters. Choose two of Rilke's prominent topics or themes, explaining Rilke's point of view on each of the two themes AND analyzing how and why he interconnects the themes. Center your essay around a clear, meaningful, worthwhile thesis sentence. 2. Imagine that Rilke is alive and well (perhaps through time travel). He will be visiting King's College and speaking to students. You are a student advisor for Rilke's visit, and it is your role to explain to Rilke some of the primary concerns of your classmates so he may prepare a speech directed toward advising them in meaningful ways. Given the insights you will help Rilke gain, he will prepare and deliver a speech to students. .

Ring Around the Rosy – Example Ring a ring o'roses A pocketful of posies ah-tishoo,ah-tishoo We all fall down. The King has sent his daughter To fetch a pail of water ah-tishoo, ah-tishoo We all fall down. The bird upon the steeple Sits high above the people ah-tishoo, ah-tishoo We all fall down. The cows are in the meadow Lying fast asleep ah-tishoo, ah-tishoo We all get up again.The historical context of this rhyme dates back to the Great Plague of London in the late 1600s. During this time it is said that victims of the plague would be sealed in their houses. These houses would be identified by a red cross painted on the door and the phrase “God have mercy.” None of the victims would be allowed to leave the home and no one was allowed to enter. Unfortunately, this did not bode well for the other family members confined with the victim, who ended up catching the disease as well. According to Linda Alchin, “the death rate was over 16% and the plague was only halted by the Great Fire of London in 1666 that killed the rats that carried the disease which was transmitted via water sources” (41). In this rhyme the phrase ring around the rosy is said to refer to the plague symptom of a rosy red rash in the shape of a ring on the skin. In addition, it was believed by many that the disease was transmitted by bad smells. To ward off the risk of catching the disease, some folks would carry pockets or pouches filled with sweet-smelling herbs, such as posies. It is also thought that the phrase ashes, ashes was a reference to the cremation of all the dead bodies. In the English version, the phrase A-tishoo! A-tishoo! seems to be referencing the violent sneezing that was another symptom of the disease (Alchin 41). Works Cited Alchin, Linda. The Secret History of Nursery Rhymes.

Riley Chapter 1 7) Differentiate among the three international marketing concepts. International marketing combines the marketing mix of plan, price, promotion and how to distribute the brand’s product or service to a much larger scale. Before company’s can even consider to penetrate into international markets, they first have to see if their internal and external operations are able to accomplish multiple marketing concepts. The first concept for a brand to enter the international market faster would be if the company had successful technology and a variety of resources that could easily aid distribution. The second would be for small and large home markets to that have successful internal production to consider manufacturing and shipping outside of their regular market. The last concept would be for a company’s running main manager to have close connections with those from other countries, so that way there is an easy international communication that can help the company for penetrating the market. (Cateora, Graham, Gilly & Money, 2020) When penetrating the international market, it is important to have controllable product, price, promotion and research available for distributing. However, the domestic environment and foreign environment will be uncontrollable. This is when the company will have to modify the firm’s original characteristics to match the culture’s political forces, geography, competition, climate and economic climate. All of this goes into how the brand’s product and service will ultimately be viewed by the international market and ignoring these steps can result in failed marketing efforts. (Cateora, Graham, Gilly & Money, 2020) 9) Discuss the three factors necessary to achieve global awareness? In today’s marketplace, it is crucial for businesses and brands to understand what it means to be globally aware, especially when marketing to other cultures to achieve global awareness. The first factor to achieve global awareness, is for a company to incorporate what it means to be globally aware. To be globally aware consists of being able to respect and tolerate one’s differences in their culture, compared to one’s own. It is important to respect these differences, otherwise there won’t be a clear way to communicate these differences in a precise way. The second factor is to understand the history, culture and stay up-to-date on current news and politics. This all plays a role in how a company can begin to achieve global awareness for their brand because it keeps marketing messages relevant the ever-changing culture. The last factor, is to create long-term business relationships with those of other cultures. A variety of people who come from different backgrounds and cultures should be made into a stable group of managers and directors. It is important to have these people ahead of marketing and creating new campaigns when entering a new global market. This diversity is important because they are a key asse.

Once the late 1980s hit, many changes were seen within the bridal industry. Youtie described the bridal market as being in terrible shape because brides wanted to do everything smaller. However, he was determined to adapt his stores and salons to these changes. In 1990, he teamed up with his childhood friend Steven Erlbaum, who was the founder of Mr. Good Buy chain. The two men incorporated the company and launched the first David's Bridal Warehouse in Hallandale, Florida. This warehouse was the first of its kind. Stores were larger than any others, 12,000 square feet, whereas other bridal stores were around 2,500 sq. ft. The warehouses held a variety of wedding dresses ranging from special occasion, accessories, wide size range, headpieces, gloves, and shoes. The warehouse though didn't have the traditional bridal store/salong feel with luxurious interiors and full service associates. Instead customers would search through racks with little help from associates. Signs were up throughout the warehouse stating that sales were final and there were not alterations made in store. Although these stores aren't typical bridal stores, brides could get a bargain on a wedding dress. Brides could walk out of the warehouse with a designer look alike that only cost anywhere from $150 to $900. However, not everyone loved the idea of a non-traditional bridal store, but Youtie felt that he attracted brides that didn’t want the traditional experience so he wasn’t harming other stores sales. With their $99 bridal dress sales, David’s Bridal gained media attention which allowed them in 1994 and 1995 to grow from 14 stores to 36. Under new management, the .

Rifkin, “A Change of Heart about Animals” They are more like us than we imagined, scientists are finding Jeremy Rifkin, Los Angeles Times, September 1, 2003. Rifkin is an American economist whose work explores the way science and technological change influence the economy, jobs, culture, and the environment. In a 1989 interview published in Time Magazine, Rifkin argues against some technologies, claiming that in America,[w]e’re so skewed toward efficiency that we’ve lost our sense of humanity. What we need to do is to bring back a sense of the sacred.” [1] Though much of big science has centered on breakthroughs in biotechnology, nanotechnology and more esoteric questions like the age of our universe, a quieter story has been unfolding behind the scenes in laboratories around the world — one whose effect on human perception and our understanding of life is likely to be profound. [2] What these researchers are finding is that many of our fellow creatures are more like us than we had ever imagined. They feel pain, suffer and experience stress, affection, excitement and even love — and these findings are changing how we view animals. [3] Strangely enough, some of the research sponsors are fast food purveyors, such as McDonald's, Burger King and KFC. Pressured by animal rights activists and by growing public support for the humane treatment of animals, these companies have financed research into, among other things, the emotional, mental and behavioral states of our fellow creatures. [4] Studies on pigs' social behavior funded by McDonald's at Purdue University, for example, have found that they crave affection and are easily depressed if isolated or denied playtime with each other. The lack of mental and physical stimuli can result in deterioration of health. [5] The European Union has taken such studies to heart and outlawed the use of isolating pig stalls by 2012. In Germany, the government is encouraging pig farmers to give each pig 20 seconds of human contact each day and to provide them with toys to prevent them from fighting. [6] Other funding sources have fueled the growing field of study into animal emotions and cognitive abilities. [7] Researchers were stunned recently by findings (published in the journal Science) on the conceptual abilities of New Caledonian crows. In controlled experiments, scientists at Oxford University reported that two birds named Betty and Abel were given a choice between using two tools, one a straight wire, the other a hooked wire, to snag a piece of meat from inside a tube. Both chose the hooked wire. Abel, the more dominant male, then stole Betty's hook, leaving her with only a straight wire. Betty then used her beak to wedge the straight wire in a crack and bent it with her beak to produce a hook. She then snagged the food from inside the tube. Researchers repeated the experiment and she fashioned a hook out of the wire nine of out of 10 times. [8] Equally impressive is Koko, the 300-p.
