Recruitment methods employed by terrorist organizations are varied in nature and have been compared to those of traditional, nonviolent organizations. Complete a 10 to 12 slide PowerPoint (not including title slide or reference page) in which you examine the recruitment methods and tools used by modern terrorist organizations. In your examination, address the following elements:
Select a modern terrorist organization, identifying the primary method of recruitment used to attract members to the organization.
Describe the tools, methods of communication, and typical sequence of events followed during this stage of recruitment.
Investigate the ways in which the selected terrorist organization completes the selection process.
Include a detailed discussion of the methods used to determine recruit suitability within the organization, including, but not limited to, knowledge tests, ability tests, tests of loyalty, etc.
Explore the influence of modern technology in the recruitment of terrorists.
Examine the ways in which technology has expanded the reach of modern terrorism, affecting the incidence of the individual acts of terrorism, or lone wolf attacks.
Close by addressing the ways in which the recruitment in terrorist organizations is comparable to or distinctly different from recruitment in traditional, nonviolent organizations. Provide details to support the position taken.
In developing your work, be sure to rely upon academic, scholarly sources to support the definitions and recommendations provided. Scholarly sources should be cited both in-text (speakers notes) and on the reference page of the submission. A minimum of five academic, scholarly sources are required to be cited in the work, 3 of which must be peer-reviewed journal articles. Course materials may not be used.
Work should be submitted in a PowerPoint file and be 10 to 15 slides in length, excluding the required title slide and separate reference slide. You should ensure your PPT meets the following criteria in addition to covering the topics above:
The slides should contain mostly bullet point data related to the requirements expected in the instructions above.
Information on slides (including the reference slide) should be easily readable with an appropriate font size (do not cram all the information onto one slide and shrink the font).
Formatting should be consistent throughout the submission, this includes font, bullets, spacing, alignment, pictures, etc.
A background appropriate to the topic should be used on all slides and the background should be appropriate for the font (style, size, color, etc.), bullets, and graphics you have chosen.
Pictures and graphics (appropriate to the overall topic and the slide itself) should be included throughout the submission to keep the presentation interesting and add an additional dimension to the presentation, a good rule is a picture every other slide at least.
A title slide should be included with the same information that would be found on an APA formatted paper cover sheet.
All detailed explanations should be in the speakers notes only. Use of comments or any other method of adding additional information is not allowed.
Detailed speaker notes should accompany each slide with in-text citations. Your speakers notes should equal at least a 5-6 page APA formatted paper to ensure you have covered the topic thoroughly.
Submissions should be formatted per APA standards. For assistance and resources on APA formatting style, contact the APUS library and/or the APUS writing center. Be sure to review the rubric and the announcements before beginning and submitting your assignment.

This paper will be written for a research class. It is considered the first portion of an entire research paper (we refer to this paper as paper 1 in the documents below). This paper is to be written in APA 7 format. Below I have provided documents that give the following:
– Paper instructions
– Example of what the paper should look like (please read the side notes)
– A checklist to help you see what you need
– A PowerPoint presentation explaining the details of the study (on slide #74, you will find the hypothesis of the study. You may copy and paste this into the writing without a problem)
– The sources you will use (these are prior studies that we must cite in the paper, there are only two)
– The data that was collected during the research: three different surveys (SRE1, SRE2, SRE3)
– A PowerPoint presentation explaining how to use APA 7, if you need it.
If you read the instructions carefully, you will see that this paper only requires the title page, an introduction paragraph, two body paragraphs (explaining the two prior studies/sources), a conclusion paragraph, and the references page. Please read everything carefully and do not hesitate to contact me

For your final project, you will be writing a paper in APA format. (See details below.) Your paper should be approximately 4-5 pages or 1200-1500 words. Your paper will focus on the main character of one of the movies listed below. Each character suffers from a particular mental illness (or illnesses) covered in this course.

Requiem for a Dream
28 Days
Please post your movie choice in the “Final Project Movie Selection” discussion forum before the end of week 1.
After watching your selected movie, it’s time to focus on the writing portion of this assignment. The goal of your paper is to analyze the main character and his or her abnormal psychology.
Please utilize the following headers within your paper:
Introduction: Introduce the character you are writing on and summarize the plot

Symptoms & Diagnosis: What specific symptoms did the character experience in the movie? What diagnosis would you give them?
Nature or Nurture: Was the character’s mental illness a result of biological or environmental influences? Explain.
Treatment: What type of treatment would you recommend for the character? Be specific.
Prognosis: Good or bad? Why?
Conclusion: Summarize your main points and reflect. Did you enjoy the movie you selected? Did the movie teach you anything you didn’t know already about mental illness? Was it a realistic portrayal of mental illness?
I would like you to reference at least three sources in this paper. The textbook may be one of your sources.

To prepare for this Assignment:
Review the Learning Resources as well as the SPSS resources found in this week’s Learning Resources.

A descriiption of what the each of the variables measure.
A descriiption of the unit of analysis.
A descriiption and explanation of the levels of measurement for each variable (i.e., nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio).
Explain how you might conceive these variables to be used to answer a social change question. What might be the implications for social change?
Support your summary using appropriate scholarly citations and references. Use proper APA format.

For each citation attached in the word document do the following:
