We have reached the conclusion of the course. You should now be prepared to engage in a well-rounded discussion of the issues in homeland security and to apply your learning to current events. I have provided links to current media coverage of homeland security issues from a variety of sources. Now it’s your turn. Look for current coverage in respected media (e.g. print / television media or non-governmental organizations) of a homeland security issue covered during this course that is of particular interest to you. Do a 2-3 sentence summary and add your thoughts, insight, and analysis of the piece. Once you post your response, please reply to at least two of your classmates’ posts.
