Thirdly, How must authorities address this future threat to establish a defense? Explain. (10 pts.)

Fourthly, Explain the rationale for your position. Support your response including any resources used in your argument.

More details;

From terrorist attacks to geopolitical posturing, if there is one industry that tends to find itself dragged onto the frontline of global security and cyber risks, it is aviation.

While flying has always been one of the safest ways to travel, thanks to its wide-ranging international regulatory frameworks, aviation incidents have an outsize impact on the public consciousness. From recent airport attacks in Brussels and Istanbul to the shooting down of MH17 over Ukraine, horrifying images are more powerful than reassuring statistics.

Emerging technologies, the changing character of war, a widening cast of actors and growing reliance on cyber are changing the nature of the threats – creating pressure on the industry to make sure it maintains its safety level, with the number of air travellers projected to nearly double in the next 20 years.

Here are some of four ways in which the likely evolution of the international security landscape over the coming years will affect aviation – and four recommendations for how the industry should react.

Firstly,  Technology is rapidly democratizing the ability to inflict large-scale damage.

Furthr, Attacks that would once have been within the purview of only a few major states are becoming conceivable for a much wider range of non-state actors and individuals.

Secondly, The merging of cyber and physical creates new vulnerabilities.

Also, The democratized capacity to wreak large-scale havoc is closely related to the merging of the virtual world with the physical: increasingly, remote attacks can cause serious real-world disruptions….

More details;

Two rooms, in two different cities, but pretty much the same scene: one man stands before a few dozen supporters, many of them middle-aged white males, plus a smaller, precocious cohort in early adulthood. As the man speaks, they interrupt him with good, earnest, detailed questions, which he ably answers more or less to their satisfaction. These crowds crave the intricacies of arguments and the upshots of science. The only thing that seems beyond their ken is how their counterparts in the other room could be convinced of something so wrong.

One of those rooms was in New York City, high in an office building overlooking the ruins that then still remained of the World Trade Center; the man was Richard Dawkins, the Oxford zoologist and ‘New Atheist’ polemicist. The man in the other room was his arch-rival, the evangelical Christian philosopher and debater William Lane Craig, speaking in a classroom on the sprawling campus of his megachurch in Marietta, Georgia. If one were to attend both events without understanding English, it would be hard to know the difference.

Essay specifications:
Times New Roman 12 point font.
Double spaced.
Standard margins.
Be specific and concise.
Three-page minimum and not more than four full pages in length.
Do not use outside sources. Do your own work.

Negative reinforcement to identify an individual who frustrates or annoys

This is an assignment that focuses on the identification of an individual who frustrates or annoys. You will then write a paper regarding the person’s behavior.

Identification of an individual who frustrates or annoys

E‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍SSAY FORMAT! The goal of this paper is to choose a behavior of another person that annoys, frustrates or angers you in some way. You will demonstrate how you might punish this behavior AND how you can REINFORCE the behavior that you do want. This exercise is intended to give you practice on focusing on WHAT YOU WANT and not on what you don’t want. We are only working on changing ONE behavior/operant. You have the potential to receive full credit if you address only one behavior to modify and will be marked down if you introduce more than one behavior to modify. a) Firstly, describe something the person often does that annoys, frustrates, or angers you.

Using positive punishment, how would you discourage this person from performing the behavior that annoys you? b) Secondly, using negative punishment, how would you discourage this person from performing the behavior that annoys you? c) Thirdly, which method do you tend to you and which method would you prefer to use – positive punishment or negative punishment – and why? d) Imagine that the person’s who performed the behavior that once annoyed you, actually performs the behavior (either once or more than once) that what y‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍ou want (might be the exact opposite of annoying behavior, in any case, this behavior needs to be related to the behavior that annoyed you). Share the desired behavior.

Identification of an individual who frustrates or annoys

e) Additionally, using positive reinforcement, how would you encourage the person to do the thing that you like? Define the process of shaping, or successive approximations, and explain how these principles could be used with the positive reinforcer you have already described.

f) Using negative reinforcement, how would you encourage the person to perform the behavior that you like? g) Also, which method do you tend to use and which method would you prefer to use – positive reinforcement or negative reinforcement – and why? h) Of all four forms of operant conditioning: negative and positive reinforcement and negative and positive punishment, which one proves to be most effective in dealing with the person’s behavior that annoys you? Which of these four forms of operant conditioning might you use when dealing with future people’s behavior? i) Lastly, what are your thoughts regarding Skinner’s work? Do you agree or disagree with his concepts of operant conditioning? Are there any gaps that you see?‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍ Please explain
