Since the beginning of 21st-century terrorism has been one of the major threats to the global community. Currently, several terrorist groups like ISIS, Boko Haram, Taliban, and Al-Shabaab are sponsoring terrorist activities in their countries as well in other nations. Despite the increased terrorist threats, nations seem to be doing little to combat dreadful terrorist activities. The inability to get rid of this security issue can be attributed to the pervasive technology that aids terrorists to widen their network including coordination of activities. As such, the United States, the superior and most technologically and militarily developed country in the world is also living under the fear of terrorism. If America can whimper because of terrorism, then terrorism is a critical global problem without any particular nation deemed to have the possible solution. Global terrorist attacks have had severe impacts including psychological trauma and instilling fear on the victims. For example, September 11, 2001, which was carried on the American soil caused severe injuries, deaths and psychological suffering among the victims. Following the September 11 attack, the United States developed some security departments which have been effective in counteracting terrorism activities in the country. The success of the anti-terrorism departments could not have been achieved without the combined efforts of other security organs in America (Holgersson & Strandh, 2016). In America, security agencies have been established to deal with terrorism at different levels. The federal government undertakes most of the efforts to cut off terrorist activities, and it in the light of counterterrorism agencies at the federal level: the research paper highlights the U.S. government’s role in homeland security programs; examines the motivation of terrorist group activities against the Americans and identifies the strengths and weaknesses of American homeland security’s counterterrorism policies and tactical response options to terrorism.

How fair is it to compare an original novel with its film? Concerning William Wyler’s The Heiress, a film adapted from the Washington Square by Henry James the matter is more than complicated. First, the screenplay directed by Goetz is not grounded on the Novel but extracted from their play, The Heiress produced in 1948 on Broadway. Second, Goetz’s claim in the film’s title sequence and the play script, both the film and its cinematic rendering are merely suggested by the original novel (Raw 243). To summarize, the characters who suffer in the story, find happiness at last in the play. Hence the unpredictable transformation of materials in changing from one medium to another is executed willingly by James himself. A comparison of Washington Square and The Heiress, then should not focus on how the original novel is violated by the film, at the expense of the dominant principle of adaptation, nor must it view one as an interpretation of the other. Instead, the comparison must weigh the unusual twists and transformations concerning their appropriateness to the artistic wholes. The current essay will provide an in-depth comparison of Washington Square novel by Henry James and Wyler’s The Heiress with a primary focus on the main character Catherine.

Question 1: <21{1[1(01)01]}> Since Jessica’s participation in local politics increased significantly after she joined her school’s political science club, it is clear that her involvement in that club led her to take an interest in politics. 
The argument above is flawed because:

It doesn’t say which political issues Jessica is interested in.
It states that the only purpose of the political science club is to spark an interest in politics.
It misuses the word “significantly.”
Correct!: it’s possible that an interest in politics caused Jessica to join the political science club.

Executive Summary
This memo proposal is designed for a mid-cap company management an organization anticipating to increase its revenues, improve customer satisfaction and control costs. The company vision is to be a “provider of the best” or “got to” either in the cruise ship or hotel industry. The company will achieve its goals by offering support services to cruise ships and hotels. A lot of revenues will be realized from cruise ship industry compared to the hotel industry. The company has a budget of $24 million that can be divided into four quarters within a year to execute on all possible projects. Each quarter can be allocated a maximum of $6 million. The budget constraints do not allow the execution of all possible projects. Therefore, this memo recommends that only three projects should be implemented in the first year. These projects are Rocky Project, Project ordering upgrade, and Project Tableware. The analysis of these projects shows that they help in meeting all the target objectives of the company.

1.0 Introduction

The goal of every business is to grow and expand its operations to wider markets that will contribute to increased sales and in return realize higher profit margins. It will be difficult for the business to achieve this goal if it does not have in place viable projects that will contribute to its continuous revenue growth. Alternatively, the business is endowed with limited resources and therefore, making it impossible to implement all the viable projects (Ribeiro & Alves, 2014). This calls for effective project selection criteria of all the possible business projects to ensure the best project is chosen and implemented. This proposal analyzes the best project selection criteria applicable to the mid-cap company which intends to realize 10 percent company growth annually. This growth will comprise of expanding business operations to new markets in Europe and Alaska, expanding the current customers’ services, increasing its revenue by ten percent as well as increasing the satisfactory client level by fifteen percent. Secondly, the company aims to control its cost by reducing operating costs by ten percent as well as reduce maintenance costs by five percent.

2.0 Proposed Portfolio Process Descriptions

As noted above, the company has certain specific goals to achieve. Therefore, the project selection criteria will be based on the company’s goals to grow by ten percent per year and control its costs. Besides, the selected criteria should facilitate the achievement of the company’s overall mission and vision as suggested by (Bender, 2010). This will be essential to ensure that the company is not limited to one project, but it can also allow the addition of other projects. This proposal finds that performance and expected values from the projects should be used as the basis for selecting the best project to be implemented. This project selection process will help the company meet its core goals, growth and cost control. To determine each project expected value the project can apply basic accounting tools comprising of benefits/cost ratio, NPV, and IRR.
