List the characteristics discussed in the book that are most effective in distinguishing likely terrorists from the more general population. In addition, use this information to explain the chapter’s title, i.e., explain why terrorists should buy life insurance.

The method of recruiting has significantly changed over time. Today, there is less reading through stacks of resumes and more interacting with potential employees on a casual and formal basis. The method of job recruiting can include many different channels and practices. These methods can consist of practices such as attending job fairs, promoting from within, online and college recruiting, and referrals. Most recruiting methods are face-to-face interactions between the employer and potential employee. This gives the employers a chance to see the candidate in person, how they present themselves, and what they can bring to their company.

Recruitment can incur a very large cost to an employer, therefore, organizations try to uses the method of recruitment which will have the lowest cost impact to the organization for each candidate.

I will argue that there is a statistically significant difference between those who chose to be a foreign fighter and those who chose to commit extremist acts within the United States on behalf of ISIS. This is due to the difference in the cost-benefit analysis of the two phenomenon that are weighed by a radicalized individual. I believe that more individuals that are radicalized will become foreign fighters because the benefit of physical inclusion and proximity to ISIS territory outweighs the cost of joining and being a part of a designated terrorist organization. While on the other hand, although a more feasible option, the benefit of commit a terrorist act on behalf of ISIS is not outweigh the cost of being labeled a terrorist within the United States. As my data set I will solely be focusing on those that have been convicted of charges related to ISIS controlling for age, gender, and time sentenced. Since there is no data on potential recruits I will attempt to explain my findings through different social movement theories to explain both the differences in the two phenomenon and the causes. I will measure my theories based on the plea of those charged with crimes related to ISIS since that is the best way to measure the cost benefit analysis conducted by the individuals. For reasons explained

I chose to create my satire on the HWDSB website and organization— specifically focusing on the irrational policies (nutrition), and underlying intent to limit students. Hopefully, I do not come across as bitter, or “anti-HWDSB”, because I do love the company and think it does play an important part in developing students. However, I feel that given my past experiences with Westdale student council, and HWDSB Student Senate, I have heard and seen so many issues that are present in the board. I don’t always agree with some of the policies and procedures that our board has, which is why I created my satire on the few flaws that it has. I wanted to show that there are some things that the board either undermines the student population (conforming

This paper will seek to understand what really motivates terrorists to commit the acts that make them so infamous. We are assuming that the chief motivating factor behind the decisions of terrorist organizations is the political outcome of their acts balanced against the risk and collateral damage inflicted to achieve this end. We will also weigh in the appeal of terrorism on potential recruits in weak states and determine how the motivations of the group become the motivation of the individual and how this benefits the decentralized organization of terrorist organizations like al Qaeda.

The recruiting of an American jihad radical begins by focusing on a certain person with either a socio, economic or political dissatisfaction that is typically shared with a personal problem of some sort. Just as most young people are searching for the answer to life, successful recruitment occurs because of ignorance or minimum exposure to mainstream religions. “Most of the terrorists have some occupational skills. Three-fourths are either professional (physicians, lawyers, architects, engineers, or teachers) or semi-professionals (businessmen, craftsmen, or computer specialists). They are solidly anchored in family responsibilities. Three-fourths are married and the majorities have children” (Sageman). It seems that the ties to terrorism

Now that the definition of recruitment is clear it time to explore the different strategies that are used in the recruitment process. Kevin Ryan, successful CEO of Guilt Goupe, states, “Recruiting is so important that we intentionally overinvest in it” (Ryan, 2012, p.45). This statement shows how important recruitment is. Being a recent college graduate that landed a job fresh out of college within my field and now seeking work, I can say first hand that the recruitment process is not done in one certain way, but in a variety of ways. One of the most common ways to get recruited is by referral. Referrals take place when current workers of an organization inform their associates about job openings and recommend they apply. In certain instances, when there is an extreme

Many different avenues exist that can be utilized in the recruitment process. While traditional methods of recruitment such as newspaper advertisements employee referral programs are still be used, many companies, including Fortune 500 companies, are moving towards more technologically advanced avenues such as career opportunity pages on the company website, online job boards, social media, etc. The way an organization presents itself using any of these avenues is essential to the recruitment process as it is the only opportunity for the organization to attract

What a man he is. Born December 25, 1962, Lawrence Otis Graham grew up in times of transition, when integration was quickly becoming society’s top priority but everyone’s prejudices were still fresh in their minds. Despite having to deal with societal bigotry, Lawrence Otis Graham rose above what he was, getting accepted into top schools such as Princeton University, Harvard University, and Harvard Law School, and achieving two of the most important aspects of the American Dream, Academic and Career success. He has served on the boards of Red Cross of Westchester, Boy Scouts of America, and the Council of Economic Priorities to name a few. He is an attorney and New York Times bestseller. One of his more famous articles as a writer is written in 1991 The Black Table in which he describes the conflict between integrating as an individual and self-segregating nature of groups in his school which in some way he insinuated continued the cycle of ignorance. It has been twenty six years since this article in the New York Times ran and a lot has changed. People no longer look at other people’s value based on the color of their skin, our children are thoroughly educated on the disgusting bigotry and ignorance that went on in our country not so long ago, and now more than ever, people of lower socio-economic groups are being given bigger and better opportunities to rise up and achieve their true potential. So why does Lawrence Otis

If anything is clear, al-Qaeda has a tremendous insulating capability. It is like a fungus that germinates through spores, reaching ever remoter places, ready to bloom when the conditions are right. While in reality it is probably not so simple, this is the crux of Sageman’s argument. Sageman contends that the current breed of al-Qaeda, in its “third wave…consists mostly of would-be terrorists, who…aspire to join the movement and the men they hail as heroes (emphasis added).” This new generation, riding the wave of Muslim condemnation of the Iraq War, in contrast to the previous two has, apart from the Iraq rage, neither the Mujahidin casus belli of the first generation, nor the expatriate marginalization of the second. Rather, the “tolerant, virtual environment of the Internet offers them a semblance of unity and purpose. Theirs is a scattered, decentralized social structure—a leaderless jihad (emphasis added).” It is important to note the italics. The words are “social” and
