National Peace and Security

* Until the country is more stable and law enforcement is effective, there will be ongoing concerns having to deal with corrupt military, police and government representatives.

The existence of security in the world brought happiness to mankind because men choose pleasure over pain (Ortmeier, 2008, p. 4.).However, without some measures of security man would not live in peace and the war of all against all (crime) would inundate the entire world. Public policing and private security have several distinct differences. Public policing is the ability to enforce the law and maintain order in society. Private securities are paid agencies that perform the protective and loss-prevention duties not handled by police officers. Equally

Public policing and private security have several distinct differences in their essential policies. The essential policies for public policing are: 1) Hierarchical- there are many different official and formal levels of public agencies positions. 2) Civil service- civil service examinations are given to chose only the most qualified personnel based on merit. 3) Apolitical- the government gives the policies to public policing to execute. 4) Impartial and fair- the treatment of all citizen using government services are to be fair and just. 5) Public affairs-oriented- focus is given to the management of public agencies and organizations. 6) Public-service oriented- profit is not a motive the serve the public. 7) Publicly funded- tax revenues fund these public administrations. 8) Publicly documented- all citizens can review administrative records and financial documents. 9) Accountable to the public- at anytime legislative and judicial review can be done to public administration. The essential policies for private security are: 1) Private enterprise- goal is to complete a private obligation instead of a public one. 2) Private or corporate ownership- private organizations are owned by private individuals, groups, or stockholders. 3) Competitiveness- the organization may be in

The point of view of A Separate Peace is written in first person from the perspective of protagonist Gene Forrester. The passage reflects the first person point of view by showing the world to the reader from Gene’s eyes, opposed to an anonymous onlooker. Furthermore, the narrator uses I, me and mine pronouns.

Public policing stands for more in society than private security because of the funding provided. Most private security agencies have to acquire more public access to obtain society’s opinion and to get customers to represent the company. The more information gathered about the two companies and compared for society to view the better outcome for the final result for each company to experience in

Over the past few decades there has been a drastic shift towards an almost completely militarized police force around the world. Local, national and even international law enforcement agencies are militarizing to face modern day threats. Law enforcement agencies around the world have been forced to militarize in order to properly respond to the ever growing arsenals of terrorist and criminal enterprises. This will be examined through looking at the globalization of militarizing police forces, the violent criminal, problems with the militarized force, use of the military equipment, and finally the justification for using military equipment.

Assessment of the Establish Civil Security (LOE) and the linkage to the overall end state:

During the last section of class we discussed whether the police force is intended to protect the state or to serve the citizens. While there have not been a lot of evidence to suggest what a nation would look like with its force solely serving the citizen, the case of Argentina shows that whenever the police supports the ruling government the administration uses its power to control its citizens and to subdue its political opponents. Interestingly, the case of Argentina further shows what Charles Tilly calls “state racketeering.” This concept pertains when the state becomes more of an organized crime, creating false threats in order to instill fear to the citizens and to remind them why they need the state’s protection. In Police and Protest in Argentina: a History, Michelle Bonner reveals that while the Argentinian government blamed the protesters for stirring up violence, it was the government’s police that instigated violence that ended up killing a lot of Argentinians in order to maintain stability.

“True peace is not merely the absence of tension…” this means that to reach peace here in America, it’s gonna take more than ignoring the problem and pretending but for many Americans, that is enough. Racial tensions seem just a strong as the were 50 years ago and Systemic racism is still a huge problem. Attaining true peace may be a little far fetched but it is still tangible. In my opinion, i think everyone just needs to look in the mirror and see that we are all basically the same even though we are very different

A Key problem highlighted is the tendency by development agencies to see developing-country situations in terms of what they believe ‘ought to be’ rather that what they ‘actually are.’ (Hendrickson) We as a people have this idea, an idea that we need to fix people. Looking at our country we see how well we have worked. The people trust and understand that the government and military are there both to help and protect the people who live in the United States (US). Countries that have experienced a dictator ship or are in a power vacuum do not understand this trust. They need help. However, the question of ‘how’ will arise. How can the people trust the government? How can we make this change last? How can we take people from an oppressive society to one of security? Taking a look at the past, we can figure out what will work and what has failed. To reform the security sector we have to look inside and then work our way out in order to establish lasting peace. Both Liberia and Macedonia have displayed the problems and benefits that arise when trying to reform the Security Sector politically and in a post-war society.

The security of citizens, in order to be such it requires a sustainable strategy; the movements of police (televised or not) are momentary, and it is not that we do not serve, but do not solve the problem. Security is not made with propaganda, is done with information and education and by involving the people, but for that they decide to get involved (change of habits, obedience to the law, good practice neighborhood) first must rely on their authorities responsible for 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

It is the right of all those who are living in the urban centers to be assured of their security. Considering that the urban centers are the hub of the economic growth, it becomes more sensitive to consider the security situation in the area. At times it becomes very hard or even impractical for one person to influence the economic decisions of another person. However, the government agencies also have a responsibility to make sure that those who opt to move from the rural areas to the urban areas have peace and security. It is true that over the previous times, the case of an increase in the level of crimes in the urban areas has been escalating. The urban centers have become the breeding ground for the criminals to advance their agenda of robbing from people. Even though the government may invest more on the security through foreign missions, there is the need the need to get seized of the issue of insecurity and crimes in the urban centers. It reaches a point where the role played by the security agencies becomes oblivious. Considering that in the past the cases of crimes were few, it means that the current changes in the security status can be attributed to the structural changes that have come up as a result of the growth in the urban centers. The fast rate at which cities are

World Peace is something that will never happen. Too many countries have too much military power and don't want to give in to any other country. War is something that the world is going to have to deal with because there has been very few years over the history of the world that have been war free. Like one quote by an unknown author says, "Peace is rare: less than 8% of the time since the beginning of recorded time has the world been entirely at peace. In a total of 3530 years, 286 have been warless. Eight thousand treaties have been broken in this time."

The UN has "[A]cknowledge[d] that we are living in an interdependent and global world and that many of today 's threats recognize no national boundaries, are interlinked and must be tackled at the global, regional, and national levels in accordance with the Charter and international law" (2005 World Summit Outcome). After the world had entered into the Post-Cold War era, traditional conceptions of security had become the global security and human security. The International Government Organizations (IGOs) and United Nations realized that wars and chaos began to be internationalized. And the human security, such as human rights, poverty, and the environment, has received attention gradually by the public. There are many issues that have affected the global security in recent decades. The Iraq war began in 2003, and it estimated that more than one hundred thousand civilians died during the war. On 11 March 2010, The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster happened in Japan, and fifteen thousand people died in this disaster. The Arab Spring began in 2010 in Tunisia, and then spread to 18 Arab countries in Mid-East and Africa. The United Nation, established in 1945 after the World War II, has the responsibility to maintain the peace and security. While the UN is helpful in some situations, there are times when the UN should not intervene. It is a general idea that the performance of UN in the conflict is not as good as the performance in the human security.
