M444 JPP Learning Activity
1. You will work on this practical exercise in five separate groups (Primarily within A365 in your broken down group) within your Week #4 Practical Exercise (See group breakdown below).
Group Echo: Construct the linear Line of Operation(LoO) for the overall 1st AD campaign, as well as the supporting Lines of Effort (LoE) (for Phase II) for the 1AD Campaign, utilizing the Atropian OPORD, as well as Phase 2 Significant Events material (M451)
2. Each group will balance their information against understanding the 1st AD OE in ATROPIA. Include information gleaned from previous lessons (Significant Event Handouts located throughout previous lessons)
3. Combine information into a presentation into your Group that presents a robust Operational Approach (OA) for your overarchng Line of Operation for the Campaign, as well as your supporting Lines of Effort.
a. Information used to determine OA (Guidance, Higher HQ intent, Mission, OE variables, Stability Tasks, Problem Statement, etc.)
b. Ends, Ways, Means
c. Elements of Operational Design (Termination, Military End State, Objectives, Effects, Center of Gravity, Decisive Points, Lines of Operation/Lines of Effort, Direct and indirect approach, Anticipation, Operational reach, Culmination, Arranging Operations, Forces and functions) As required
d. A restated Mission Statement based on combination of above info.
e. An Operational Approach derived by combining the above info with your experience, intellect, creativity, intuition, education, etc.
You will utilize the groups established within A365 to collaborate and develop your LoO and LoE final product. It is necessary to use the Atropian Iron OPORD and all associated Annexes to gather the necessary information for your planning. It is necessary to refer back to either the lesson or JP 5-0 to determine the Inputs and Outputs for each step of the joint planning process.
DIRECTIONS FOR YOUR LINE OF OPERATION and LINES OF EFFORT FINAL PRODUCT:
1. YOU WILL PROVIDE NO LESS THAN ONE SLIDE THAT DEPICTS THE 1AD LINE OF OPERATION AND YOUR ASSIGNED PHASE LINES OF EFFORT.
2. WITHIN YOUR SLIDE PROVIDED, YOU WILL ALSO PROVIDE (IN SUMMARY/NO MORE THAN ONE PARAGRAPH) THE ANALYSIS AND REASONING BEHIND, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR GROUP AGREED UPON FINAL LINE OF OPERATION AND SUPPORTING LINES OF EFFORT AS IT PERTAINS TO THE 1AD CAMPAIGN AND PHASE BREAKDOWN.
3. ONCE COMPLETE, YOU WILL PRESENT YOUR FINAL LINES OF OPERATION AND SUPPORTING LINES OF EFFORT WITHIN THE WEEK #5 CLASSROOM COLLABORATION SESSION. THERE IS NO NEED FOR PEER REPLIES FOR THIS PRACTICAL EXERCISE.
This is your small group breakdown for collaboration on your JPP Practical Exercise project. After you have developed your group LOO and LOEs slide, create a final slide that depicts the 1st AD LoO, as well as your Phase supporting Lines of Effort. You will present/brief your slide in the Week #5 Classroom Collaboration Session.

Complete the 3 tasks below, in graphic form. There must be a horizontal timeline and the key information tagged to specific dates or time frames. Do not submit columnar information. You can use the the same basic horizontal graph from 1940-present for each. This assignment will require you to research and prepare key information regarding the IC, its evolution, and its operations.
First Timeline. Create a graphical time frame of key dates in the creation of the organizations that currently comprise the intelligence community, including key laws and executive orders that provide legal authority for the IC. Start this timeline at 1940 and ending 2024. You should have key dates for each of the members of the IC and the associated laws. There should be at least 6 key laws noted that have transformed the IC. There should be at least the creation date for each member of the IC.
Second Timeline. Create a graphical time line that shows time horizontally from 1940-present and shows Europe, Africa, Asia/Pacific, Latin America, Near East/Middle East, and Eastern Europe on the vertical axis. List at least 15 US covert action operations by name and country, geographical area (the 6 listed above), operation name, and dates.
Third Timeline. Create a graphical time line that shows time horizontally from 1945-present and highlights at least 15 key technological innovations created by the IC that support intelligence collection (imagery, HUMINT, ELINT, COMINT, MASINT, etc.).

Imagine a world without NATO. Prominent experts, such as Professor Paul Poast, suggest that counterfactual thinking is crucial for policy analysis and International Relations (IR) scholarship.
Question what might the global landscape look like without NATO’s presence, especially in the West. For instance, “If NATO weren’t here, what would happen?”
The counterfactual thinking analysis of up to 800 words should answer the question: What might the global landscape look like without NATO’s presence, especially in the West?

Identify a current events article about policy related to the child welfare system. Describe the child welfare policy and practices in the news article. How does this policy uphold or conflict with social work ethics and values?
ARTICLE FROM THE STATE OF NEVADA/CALIFORNIA OR COLORADO..US STATES

you must cover two questions from “American Political Culture” and two “US Constitution and Bill of Rights” topics, plus all the questions from the “Civil Rights” in your original post.
American Political Culture
1. Why do only 45% of Americans take part in the political process OR VOTE?
2. If we are the leading figure on Democracy in the world, why do so many Americans distrust our Political Process?
3. Compare and contrast the priorities of the Federalists and Antifederalists for the design of the new Constitution. Although the Federalists argued for a stronger central government (and in many ways, they got one), the Antifederalists won important battles, such as the adoption of the Bill of Rights and the retention of power in the states. What does the debate between Federalists and Antifederalists tell us about American politics in the late eighteenth century? In what ways are the values and concerns of these two groups similar to or different from today’s political debates?
4. Combating terrorism has entailed restrictions on civil liberties. How can we reconcile civil liberty and national security? Are we better off opting for more liberty or more security? Are the two goals mutually exclusive? Have Americans become less supportive of the limitations on liberty put into place after the terror attacks in 2001, or do they still perceive that it makes sense to give up some liberties in order to feel more secure?
US Constitution and Bill of Rights
5. Did the Constitution provide us with a Strong Central Government in DC? or did it provide us with a Dictatorship style. E.g., D.C. now controlling Education (No Child Left Behind)
6. Are we still a free country under the Constitution (Bill of Rights) or has our government taken away our rights? e.g. Patriot Act.

7. Would the Foundering Fathers be happy with the way the Constitution is interpreted today?
8. In light of the recent NSA spying on Americans. Do you believe that government has a right to do so or is Security more important than our constitutional right?
Civil Rights – Answer all questions for this topic.
Listen to the two-minute NPR segment about Dion DiamondLinks to an external site., take notes and answer following questions.
9. What is the purpose of sit-ins?
Sit-ins are a type of direct action where one or more people occupy an area for a protest, typically to advocate for political, social, or economic change. Protestors gather visibly in a space or building, refusing to leave until their demands are addressed. This form of nonviolent civil disobedience is employed to highlight injustices and call for reform.
10. Do you think student activism was important to the civil rights movement?
Of course. The involvement of young people and students played an important roll to the civil rights movement, leading to crucial changes in the civil rights movement and the freedom of speech for students. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 expanded civil and voting rights for Black Americans. It was demonstrated that young people have power for social change.
11.What are some examples of contemporary student activism?
12. How dangerous is it to stage a civil rights protest today in comparison to the 1960s

this essay is comprised of two components. The essay must be at least 1000 words overall. Please include in text citation and a works cited page in APA format.
Part One:
Begin by completing the following political ideology quizzes:
Advocates for Self Government a libertarian website: www.theadvocates.org/quizLinks to an external site.
Pew Research Center for People & the Press: www.people-press.org/typlogy/quizLinks to an external site.
Next, analyze AND explain YOUR results. Do you believe that these quizzes accurately measured YOUR ideological leanings to the right or the left? Why or why not?
Part Two:
Some people argue that there are no significant differences between the two major parties. Backing up your perspective with appropriate sources, what are the major differences and similarities in the views of the Democratic and Republican parties (e.g., this review of party platforms, 1856-2016 www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/2016-election/conventions/party-platform-evolution/Links to an external site.)? What are the primary areas of difference between contemporary Democrats and Republicans? (i.e. gun control, abortion, taxes, regulation, LGBT rights, etc?) How are the two parties similar? What are the consequences of these patterns for voters and election outcomes? For policy outcomes?

Instructions for Writing Your Essay:
All essays must be written using proper English grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Points will be deducted for grammatical, punctuation, syntax, capitalization, etc. errors. Essays are automatically submitted to Turnitin. Work that Turnitin identifies as having more than a 10% rate of similarity (plagiarism) after quoted material and small matches (10 words or less) are excluded will not be read and will receive a grade of 0. Please include in text citation and a works cited page in APA format.

You are required to answer both of the questions below. Each answer should be approximately 4 double-spaced pages, with 12-point Times New Roman font. Each answer should have an introductory paragraph that summarizes your argument/findings and a conclusion that reiterates your argument and wraps up the essay. In total, you should have approximately 8 double-spaced pages of writing. Work cited and title pages do not count towards this page total. Please note that your answers need to be clearly written, easy to understand, and free of typos and sloppy grammatical errors. Essays that are difficult to understand, sloppily written and poorly organized will be penalized accordingly.

Question 1: This term, we have learned about different variables that influence state behavior. One variable we have discussed is polarity, or the number of great powers that exist in the international system at a given point in time. What is the current polarity condition of the international system? Is the current system unipolar, bipolar, etc.? Is the current polarity condition conducive to stability between countries? Why or why not? This answer is worth 20 points out of 40 points.
***Note that this answer is asking you to make an argument. Your job is to clearly define how you are measuring what makes a state a ‘great power’ and to develop an argument using the theories/approaches (realism, liberalism, constructivism, feminism) from class as to what the current distribution of power means for the stability/instability of the system. Your grade on this essay will be based on how well-developed your argument is and your use of the theories in the development of the argument. I do not care what your specific argument is, only that it is well-developed and flows logically from the theories we have learned about in the course.
Question 2: This term, we have read theories and approaches that argue that factors such as norms, international institutions, and gender influence state behavior. Select two of the factors mentioned above and discuss a recent event in IR that demonstrates how these factors influence state behavior for the event you have selected. The event needs to be a different event than the one you analyzed in your lens paper. This answer is worth 20 points out of 40 points.
