A Big Idea

Leonard Beaton similarly argued for the need to expand conceptions of security outward from the limits of parochial national security to include a range of systemic considerations. Likewise, Stanley Hoffman argued for the need to begin ‘turning national security into an aspect of world order policy’. Hedley Bull argued against excessive self-interest in approaches to national security, and for a broader view in which common interest and linkage among securities receive greater attention. More generally, Krause and Nye observed that ‘neither economists nor political scientists have paid enough attention to the complexity of the concept of security, including its instrumental role in the enhancement of different values’. The Brandt Commission called for a new concept of security that would transcend the narrow notions of military defence and look more towards the logic of a broader interdependence. The common theme underlying these voices was that a notion of security bound to the level of individual states and military issues is inherently inadequate.

National security is the ability to protect our borders through homeland security while upholding the rights of nation. Privacy when openly tampered with is distorted. Nobody acts the same knowingly being watched. Information finds another way. There have been studies on lesser issues like workers. There is more productivity when people think they are being watched. The same when our liberties are at stake. What are people to do when it’s done for the wrong reasons? Like when an African American see’s a sign that separates white and color bathrooms. Another would be when the Jews were forced to where a star then live separately in their own projects. The US jokes about our nation being like fraternity. Every new group gets picked on. The Jew’s for being good with money. The Mexicans for being illegal’s and now it’s the Arab’s turn. But Arab’s are all terrorist somehow. We have seen terror before from the Unabomber, the KKK, and columbine shooting. How do we keep up with inflation? The government finds one way to gather information and terrorist adapt. When civil liberties get trampled in the process more anti-American groups rise to the occasion creating more danger inside America and out.

To start off with I chose to go with our banking or financial industry. The banking industry is constantly getting attacked by various methods on a daily basis. I chose this industry because I happen to know someone who works in the security sector at Wells Fargo Bank, he was a good person to get information on what he sees on a daily or weekly basis. This paper is the opinion of myself and with gathered information from various resources.

So far, terrorism has been a key obstacle to many foreign nations, as they are struggling to prevent terrorist attacks. From the year of 1997 up to the year of 2003, international terrorist attacks have gone from less than 500 to almost 3000. Overall, global terrorism has grown by almost 1200% from 1997 to 2003. (Johnston 1). This massive increase in terrorism reflects on other nations' lack of control of the safety of their nation. These statistics also show that something needs to be done to protect the

Bellavita Christopher is the Director of Programs for the Naval Postgraduate School’s Center for Homeland Defense and Security. Also, from 1998 to 2002, he was the planning coordinator for the Utah Olympic Public Safety Command. The author focuses on the fact that homeland security faces a variety of threats. Many factors such as the economy, weapons of mass destruction and a lack of moral compass pose potential challenges to homeland security (Bellavita, 2009). The terrorist attacks such as the one in Mumbai, the economic meltdown, the disaster on the borders remain potential malefactors to the U. S. homeland. And to no surprise, the threats are gradually transforming into a more complex tactics. Bellavita takes aim towards a realistic assessment

The United States is one of the safest countries in the world with the most advanced weapons and well-trained security agents (Fairthorne, 1993). My assessment of the country’s protection effort is that the nation has done enough in laying down security infrastructure, this is based on the fact the country has not received any major attack since 9/11. The country has also been able to intercept many attacks and therefore it means that the country is secure and that the security measures put in place are appropriate enough to secure the

After the attack on September 11, 2001, America became much more aware of the necessity to enhance security within the country. The tragedy that struck America’s heart continues to affect the lives of citizens today because the memory will never disappear. The United States decided to take action and strengthen security of the nation to prevent any terrorist attacks in the future. Some citizens continue to argue about the huge expense of the current security, but it clearly protects the country as a whole. As an individual, security has a purpose throughout everyday lives’ because it ensures each citizens’ safety. America is safer now than before 9/11 because of new federal agencies to enforce safety against terrorists and the money spent towards higher levels of security.

Both Naim and Albanese discuss the fundamental challenges governments face in responding to transnational threats. Though the authors discuss similar topics, both their perspectives are primarily different. To being with, Albanese discusses how it is a joint effort to put a stop to transnational crime markets, in contrast, Naim elaborated on several reasons why joint efforts will not work and why bureaucratic governments are losing the battle against transnational global markets. To reiterate, Naim stated that collaboration between units can be a struggle due to hierarchies and a chain of command. Another difference between the authors views was that Albanese was able to elaborate more compared to Naim on how governments tend to focus on the

Throughout the years this ‘War on Terrorism’ has culminated into a global issue which has posed a serious and significant threat upon the lives of innocent human beings. Furthermore, due to the fact that we are continuously interacting and inter-relating with one another due to rise in globalization; the security of regions is under threat because it has spread transnationally through the access of information and technology. Therefore, it makes it a very difficult problem to solve at this point in time.

Security can be defined as the “freedom from danger, risk, etc. with the absence of threats to assimilated principles” or a “low chance of damage to assimilated principles.” However, the word security originates from the Latin Securus, which means “carefree”. Notice that the very definition of the word clues to the term “freedom”. The aforementioned definition of security is very general. It does not stipulate the individual whose security is at issue or the types of values pliable to being secured. The security of people (“human security”) is understood to extend beyond national security, also comprising of economic welfare, the health of the environment, cultural identity, and political rights. Security began to take on a diverse set of restrictions with the Alien and Sedition Acts of the 1790s. We would see a drastic change after September 11, 2011.

The concept of security has been under development during the last decades and the traditional definition of it as the capability of the stat to protect it self against any military threats proven to be limited where new kinds of threats evolved such as (economic,social,enviromental and many others).Moreover, the identified enemy in the traditional definition start to be very difficult because of the international relations which might forced some countries not to declare another country as an enemy the relation between USA and the ex USSR can be a clear example.§

The traditional security paradigm is focused on physical and external security threats to states. It promotes that security should be state centred and national security is primary over other securities, such as human security. States must defend their territory and authority from external, foreign threats, by physical means, such as increasing the military or

After thirty years of work on PC security, why are every one of the frameworks in administration today to a great degree defenseless to assault? The fundamental reason is that security is costly to set up and an aggravation to run, so individuals judge as a matter of fact how little of it they can escape with. Since there 's been little harm, individuals conclude that they needn 't bother with much security. Likewise, setting it up is so confused that it 's barely ever done right. While we anticipate a disaster, less difficult setup is the most imperative venture toward better security.

In the developing new technologies in the world we find lack of security in many fields. Security must be enhanced

The establishment of the European Union (EU) solidified a united political, economic, and defensive front creating a Supranational Organization (Lucas, 1999, no page). With the assistance of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the United States, the EU has developed a comprehensive security strategy responsible for leading the coalition’s objectives for mutual solidarity, global stabilization, and defense. To address security threats both regionally and globally set forth by the European Security Strategy (ESS), considerations were developed which encompass both cultural domains of geography and development.
