Based upon your analysis of the readings, what are the key differences between homegrown extremists and terrorists? What are some common reasons that would cause someone who is otherwise of sound mind* to become a homegrown extremist? In other words, what did the readings tell you about the psychology of terrorism? Describe the difference between a purely domestic extremist and someone inspired by international causes, and provide examples for each.

* Note: As mentioned in the lesson, this course specifically excludes those with serious mental dysfunctions since their cause is most likely not the real root issue of their extremism or violence — the mental dysfunction is.

How effective is a tsunami warning system in mitigating disasters? In answering this question, you may write about a particular tsunami, beginning from the warning (if any) to the aftermath. You may also propose a warning system. Remember to cite your sources and provide references.

Disasters: Tsunamis

2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami

One of the deadliest tsunamis in recorded history occurred in the Indian Ocean in 2004.

The 26 December 2004 tsunami was the most deadly tsunami and one of the greatest disasters in historical times. Some 280,000 people were killed in South Asia and East Africa. Sumatra Indonesian island was the most affected area with about 178,000 dead. It sparked unparalleled media-related impact and humanitarian aid.*
2011 Japan Tsunami

In order to understand the magnitude of the Japan tsunami, view the brief video clip containing dramatic footage of the waves in action. Caught on Tape: Tsunami hits Japan port town. Retrieved from https://archive.org/details/youtube-SCn6H3JKY4M CBSNEWS

Less than an hour after the earthquake, the first of many tsunami waves hit Japan’s coastline. The tsunami waves reached run-up heights (how far the wave surges inland above sea level) of up to 128 feet (39 meters) at Miyako city and traveled inland as far as 6 miles (10 km) in Sendai. The tsunami flooded an estimated area of approximately 217 square miles (561 square kilometers) in Japan.**

You will pose a question involving at least two of our readings from Part I and/or Part II, and then you will do your best to answer it in a tightly argued 3-4 pp.The question should be an exploratory query that interests you. If you like, you may address your question through a Supreme Court case one we have discussed or one we have not (yet) discussed. Some possible questions that come to mind: How persuasive are Scalias arguments for originalism? Is there really a distinction between the framers intent theory of interpretation and the original understanding view? Is textualism (Scalia) or pragmatism (Breyer) the better method for interpreting statutes? How well does Dworkins philosophical theory of interpretation work in clarifying the meaning of a particular constitutional provision, like the Eighth Amendment or the Fourteenth Amendments Equal Protection Clause? Is stare decisis in tension with originalism? How politicized is the Supreme Court, really? Is the Supreme Court a court (cf. Segall)? (These are just examples.) You may also choose to look more deeply into one of the constitutional provisions you examined using the Interactive Constitution app.

Be sure your question is (1) interesting and (2) challenging but (3) narrowly tailored enough that you will be able to do it justice in a short paper. If you arent sure your question fits that bill, send it to me in an email and Ill let you know.
