Comparative Analysis

 You will select a current international event and, using the comparative analysis technique, you will develop a series of possible outcomes related to international homeland security and specifically to US homeland security. You will prepare a 6-8 substantive page paper using the format specified in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.)  Comparative analysis is used in both government and business to determine a course of action.  In simplest terms, you identify an issue or problem, list a number of alternative solutions or options for resolution (two or more), then compare the pros and cons of each option, and finally make recommendations.
