APA TEMPLATE 031315.doc

Discussion questions are brief answers. 1 to 2 paragraphs are sufficient as long as the topic is covered.

1.  As the text explained, there is no agreed-upon single definition of terrorism. For example, almost every major U.S. government agency has their definition of terrorism. In fact, hundreds of different definitions of terrorism exist. Suggest the key factors that you believe contribute to the lack of a global definition for terrorism. Provide one (1) example of such a lack of a definition in action to support your response.

2.  From the first e-Activity, create your own comprehensive definition of terrorism. Explain the key elements of your definition, and suggest at least one (1) reason why the elements are important to your personal definition of terrorism. Use your personal definition of terrorism to determine whether or not you believe Hezbollah meets the criteria as a terrorist group. Provide a rationale for your response.

  E Activity 1

  • Use the Internet, and to research various definitions of terrorism. Research Hezbollah and the controversy of whether or not they should be considered a terrorist group as well. Be prepared to discuss.

3.  From the list on the second e-Activity, determine the time period in which the meaning of terrorism at that point in time most closely resembled one (1) meaning of terrorism today. Determine the time period that you believe had a different meaning of terrorism than it does today. Provide a rationale to support your response.

E-Activity 2

The term “terrorism” was first used in modern Western history to describe the repressive actions of the French government against its people during the so-called “Reign of Terror.” The meaning of terrorism has evolved over time. Use the Internet to research the following major events / time periods in which the meaning of terrorism changed:

a.  The Reign of Terror

b.  The Napoleonic Wars

c.  Revolutionaries and Nationalists during the mid-19th century

d.  Communists in the Soviet Union

e.  The Enlightenment

f.  The American Revolution

4.  Determine two time periods / major events in which the perceived meanings of terrorism at those times were most closely related. Provide a rationale to support your choices.

Running head: [SHORTENED TITLE UP TO 50 CHARACTERS] [Title Here, up to 12 Words, on One to Two Lines] [Author Name(s), First M. Last, Omit Titles and Degrees] [Institutional Affiliation(s)] Author Note [Include any grant/funding information and a complete correspondence address.] 1 [SHORTENED TITLE UP TO 50 CHARACTERS] 2 Abstract [The abstract should be one paragraph of between 150 and 250 words. It is not indented. Section titles, such as the word Abstract above, are not considered headings so they don’t use bold heading format. Instead, use the Section Title style. This style automatically starts your section on a new page, so you don’t have to add page breaks. Note that all of the styles for this template are available on the Home tab of the ribbon, in the Styles gallery.] Keywords: [Click here to add keywords.] [SHORTENED TITLE UP TO 50 CHARACTERS] 3 [Title Here, up to 12 Words, on One to Two Lines] [The body of your paper uses a half-inch first line indent and is double-spaced. APA style provides for up to five heading levels, shown in the paragraphs that follow. Note that the word Introduction should not be used as an initial heading, as it’s assumed that your paper begins with an introduction.] [Heading 1] [The first two heading levels get their own paragraph, as shown here. Headings 3, 4, and 5 are run-in headings used at the beginning of the paragraph.] [Heading 2]1 [To add a table of contents (TOC), apply the appropriate heading style to just the heading text at the start of a paragraph and it will show up in your TOC. To do this, select the text for your heading. Then, on the Home tab, in the Styles gallery, click the style you need.] [Heading 3]. [Include a period at the end of a run-in heading. Note that you can include consecutive paragraphs with their own headings, where appropriate.] [Heading 4]. [When using headings, don’t skip levels. If you need a heading 3, 4, or 5 with no text following it before the next heading, just add a period at the end of the heading and then start a new paragraph for the subheading and its text.] (Last Name, Year) [Heading 5]. [Like all sections of your paper, references start on their own page. The references page that follows is created using the Citations & Bibliography feature, available on the References tab. This feature includes a style option that formats your references for APA 6th Edition. You can also use this feature to add in-text citations that are linked to your source, such as those shown at the end of this paragraph and the preceding paragraph. To customize a citation, right-click it and then click Edit Citation.] (Last Name, Year) [SHORTENED TITLE UP TO 50 CHARACTERS] References Last Name, F. M. (Year). Article Title. Journal Title, Pages From - To. Last Name, F. M. (Year). Book Title. City Name: Publisher Name. 4 [SHORTENED TITLE UP TO 50 CHARACTERS] 5 Footnotes 1 [Add footnotes, if any, on their own page following references. For APA formatting requirements, it’s easy to just type your own footnote references and notes. To format a footnote reference, select the number and then, on the Home tab, in the Styles gallery, click Footnote Reference. The body of a footnote, such as this example, uses the Normal text style. (Note: If you delete this sample footnote, don’t forget to delete its in-text reference as well. That’s at the end of the sample Heading 2 paragraph on the first page of body content in this template.)] [SHORTENED TITLE UP TO 50 CHARACTERS] 6 Tables Table 1 [Table Title] Column Head Row Head Row Head Row Head Row Head Row Head Row Head Column Head 123 456 789 123 456 789 Column Head 123 456 789 123 456 789 Column Head 123 456 789 123 456 789 Column Head 123 456 789 123 456 789 Note: [Place all tables for your paper in a tables section, following references (and, if applicable, footnotes). Start a new page for each table, include a table number and table title for each, as shown on this page. All explanatory text appears in a table note that follows the table, such as this one. Use the Table/Figure style, available on the Home tab, in the Styles gallery, to get the spacing between table and note. Tables in APA format can use single or 1.5 line spacing. Include a heading for every row and column, even if the content seems obvious. A default table style has been setup for this template that fits APA guidelines. To insert a table, on the Insert tab, click Table.] [SHORTENED TITLE UP TO 50 CHARACTERS] 7 Figures Figure 1. [Include all figures in their own section, following references (and footnotes and tables, if applicable). Include a numbered caption for each figure. Use the Table/Figure style for easy spacing between figure and caption.] For more information about all elements of APA formatting, please consult the APA Style Manual, 6th Edition.
