Phoenix, AZ -- August 10, 2009. Understanding the origins of modern terrorism is crucial for decision makers in a wide range of industries, not just military and law enforcement personnel, for the threat impacts both the domestic and international sectors of most countries.
“Even though the average person may not think about it much, terrorism, or its threat, impacts nearly every facet of modern life, from travel, to entertainment, to our choice of vacation hotels, to our business practices, to our very way of life,” said Dr. Donald Burton, president of Dunlap-Stone University . “Terrorist events and threats since the 9/11 attack have permanently changed how nations set policy and police themselves, and it has become a major consideration when conducting international business,” Dr. Burton added. In response, the International Import-Export Institute at nationally accredited Dunlap-Stone University’s announced its intelligence experts developed a six-week long, online college course, Terrorism in the 21st Century (HAS-260), to educate decision makers in industry and government about terrorism and counter-terrorism in the modern business era. The first offering of this dynamic, discussion driven online course will begin in September.
In the U.S., a huge anti-terrorism industry has emerged to counter this new threat. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sees its annual budget increased markedly year after year as the real or imagined threat increases. But what is the real threat of terrorism? What are we fighting? Where did it come from? And how does it, or should it, impact people’s thinking and business decisions? Decision makers need to understand terrorism in the 21st century, myths must be debunked and the underlying causes and circumstances must be understood.
This hands-on course is perfect for those who want to delve into the implications of terror threats and how they impact the public and private sectors within society. Those seeking a solid briefing on terrorism, the evolution of current threats and outlooks for the future, specifically those involved in DHS, the State Department or the military, will find this a valuable source of knowledge. “This course should be a must for anyone in government or industry who needs to understand the threat inside out,” said Dr. Burton.
