This week, we will be discussing the biggest state actor threats to spying on the US.  There are many juicy choices, such as China, North Korea and Russia, particularly in light of so much recent news about the latter two.  I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this topic.

Know the Enemy: State Actors

In Module 1, you learned that divided loyalties (the loyalty to one’s country of origin or ethnicity) are a greater motivator today than ever before. State actors (who are related to or working for a government other than the U.S.) are oftentimes motivated to spy against the U.S.

In this assignment, you will examine the motivations of other states and their actors, as well as their methods.

Tasks:

Using at least three scholarly resources from the professional literature, research intelligence threats to the U.S., focusing on state actors. The literature may include the University online library resources; relevant textbooks; peer-reviewed journal articles; and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov).

In a minimum of 300 words, respond to the following:

  • Identify the greatest intelligence threats to the U.S. and methodologies used for spying against the U.S. (such as human intelligence [HUMINT], and cyber espionage).
  • Explain which state actors pose the greatest cyber threat.
  • Explain which of the state-sponsored foreign intelligence services (FISs) assaults on the United States Intelligence Community (USIC) appear to have caused the greatest damage, either through the loss of resources, failed missions, or the loss of lives.

Give reasons in support of your responses.

 1. Your reasons for selecting (blank) University.

The reason I am selecting to pursue my master degree at (blank) University is because of the experience I’ve had thus far from being an undergrad student at Barry. I have first hand experience to know with great confidence that (blank) University is were I belong. I have built great relationships with my teammates (blank university women soccer), classmates, professors, staff members, and adviser. The professors I’ve had the opportunity to be with, have inspired me to continue my education and become a sport psychologist. 

 2. Your professional plans upon completion of your degree. 

After completing my masters degree, I plan to continue studying in Barry University and pursue my doctorate degree as well.  Once I’m done with my degree, I want to own a private practice. With this practice I plan on helping athletes (specially soccer players),develop both physically and mentally by providing them with the necessary tools and knowledge on how to work with their mental side of the game in order to improve their performance. I currently train soccer players privately and in small groups. My career goal is to build an indoor soccer facility, where I will also have my private practice for sport psychology, and be able to help soccer players become well rounded athletes one session at a time. I want to break the glass ceiling for women in soccer and prove that women are just as capable as men to play and coach soccer.
