Description
write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
This Discussion Board will examine developing and future threats and challenges that will affect the homeland security (HLS) enterprise (global Jihad, megadisasters, cyber, climate change, arctic policy, piracy, small vessel security, nodes of radicalization, pandemic, immigration, maritime, and insider threat) and look at developing a vision for sustaining the efforts into the future. The intersection of globalization and technology in the 21st century created an uncertain environment in the post-Cold War era. The homeland security enterprise was not borne out of thoughtful strategic introspection after the end of the Cold War, but rather it was more of a reaction forced upon the nation by the 9/11 attacks. Even then, the focus remained on a single issue, terrorism, until the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 opened the aperture of the nascent enterprise to a wider view: the realization that there are multiple threats from man and nature that can bring the nation to its knees. You will be expected to use prior course work research to provide insightful proposals for adapting the Enterprise to future challenges and to develop a vision for the future. Discuss the following:
- How does terrorism stack against other manmade and natural threats? Should the United States continue its approach to counterterrorism?
- How would you optimize the homeland security enterprise for the challenges and threats of the 21st century?
- What should be the essential elements of a homeland security enterprise vision?
- Provided 4 references in APA format

Terrorism vs. Manmade and Natural Threats
The Department of Homeland Security was developed in response to the 9/11 attacks that
occurred in the United States. President Bush formed this agency in an attempt to protect the US
against future terror attacks. Since its inception, the primary objective of the organization was to
protect the nation against terrorism. Nevertheless, the homeland security enterprise expanded its
scope to address other evolving and future challenges that are caused by both natural and
manmade threats. When compared to manmade and natural threats, terrorism stands a better
chance of winning.
This is because the DHS ...

Read the scenario in the textbook and continue to Step 2: WH Framework Chart and Explanation. Create a WH Framework chart, similar to Exhibit 2.1.

Some call them questionable payments. Some call it extortion. Some call it grease. Some call it bribery. I look at these payments as necessary to sell a product. I never felt I was doing anything wrong.” More than 30 years later, Reinhard Siekaczek, an accountant employed by Siemens who oversaw an annual budget for questionable payments in excess of $50 million, stated: “I never thought I would go to jail for my company. …We thought we had to do it. Otherwise, we would ruin the company. …People will only say about Siemens that they were unlucky and that they broke the Eleventh Commandment. The Eleventh Commandment is, ‘Don’t get caught.’” Continue to Step 2: Educate Employees on the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act.
