Recently, your reading has focused on the impact of war on the history of modern art. In this week’s discussion forum, you will choose a work of art that expresses political themes specifically related to warfare. Although you are encouraged to focus on works related to World War One, you may also choose a work by an avant-garde Russian artist related to the Bolshevik Revolution, or even revisit Romanticism and choose a work of art related to the French Revolution or Napoleonic Wars (such as Goya’s Disasters of War).
The purpose of this assignment is to examine a work of art in its historical context, and also to research how political forces shaped the lives of artists. In your post, please choose a single work of art that has political content and describe the way in which the artist expresses their perspective. How do they communicate their ideas through iconography, narrative, color, technique, etc.? What specific political events inspired the work of art? How did these events shape the life of the artist?
Be sure to include an image of the work and for posting a poem in the forum that is related to World War One.

Our Federal Bureaucracy is incredibly complicated with its hodge-podge creation, overlapping jurisdiction and multiple bosses.Below is a link that provides a pretty inclusive list of Federal Executive Branch entities (Departments, agencies, bureaus, boards, commissions, quasi-official agencies, etc – see Chapter 13 for more details on these different parts of the Executive Branch) that we will explore for this chapter assignment.
2)Type of Government Entity: (Department, Board, Commission, Government Corporation, etc)
3)Website of Government Entity:

5)Brief description of purpose/what they do: DO NOT CUT AND PASTE
6)Size, budget (and location if applicable) of entity: How many people work there and what is their annual budget?You should be able to find this on the website somewhere.Location = what larger entity is it a part of?Example, the FBI is part of the Department of Justice.This is not applicable to all entities.
7)Your thoughts on the entity: Is it useful or useless? Why?
NOTES:
While this is a pretty inclusive list, it’s not a perfect list.For example:The Bureau for Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is also listed as Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Bureau. And some people are listed, as well as the entity that they work for like Director of National Security.Be mindful of this when selecting what you profile.
DO NOT choose more than one Department.In fact, most of you should have heard of the 15 major departments, so you may not include any.

Citations: Please cite your sources – include any and all website you used to find this information, in addition to your textbook.
EXTRA CREDIT: Up to 1pt.Profile 2 more (.5 pts a piece).
Tom Friedman (2005), states that “Globalization” is a wonderful and natural process to which people need to adjust. To some critics, it is a dangerous pattern that needs to be resisted through public authority. And to others, it is a process that is not natural at all, but encouraged by public policy that serves some interests at the expense of others. According to Henry Kissinger (1999) “globalization is really another name for the dominant role of the United States.” Agree or disagree with Kissinger’s statement and provide evidence from the textbook that supports your view. Justify your response.

Basically, students should answer the question – what have you learned in this class so far? In answering this question, students will be expected to integrate the material in an analytical and critical manner. As such, students should not summarize (e.g., in week 1, I learned about local government, in week 2, I learned about state government), but rather be reflective about what you learned by integrating, dissecting, critiquing, and analyzing the knowledge received from a variety of sources. Each paper should cover all information sources and attempt to describe how these sources fit together. In other words, these papers should not simply cover the readings, but must be reflective of the knowledge obtained from all sources. Students may select to do outside research in attempt to integrate and understand the material. Your opinions about what you are learning, what you are finding interesting, what you didn’t know, what you are now understanding better are key to successfully completing this assignment. ** The first reflection paper should cover material learned up until that point in the course. The second reflection paper should focus on everything learned during the class with an emphasis placed on the material covered after the first reflection paper was due. Minimum requirements: Citations are not needed, but if citations they are used, they must be in text and a separate reference page at the end of the paper must all be in APA style. An acceptable range is between 3-4 pages double-spaced. The paper should not exceed 5 pages. A paper with fewer than three (3) full pages (1 inch margins on all sides) is not acceptable and will receive half-credit (50). A full page consists of text only; headers/footers, titles, name/date, and the like are NOT calculated in the full page requirement. Papers that fail to be comprehensive in integrating all of the material and do not meet the minimum requirements will receive half-credit (50 points). As the semester progresses, the papers will be expected to be more analytical and insightful. Both Reflection Papers must be submitted through Blackboard.
Week 11 Overview
Chapter 1 discusses the evolution of California’s political system from colonialization through statehood, the Gold Rush, the railroad political machine, the Progressive reformers, the Depression and World War II, and the political and economic revolution of the state, emphasizing the themes of continuity and change. A substantial part of the chapter describes California’s people, economy, and regions today.
Chapter 2 describes the organizational structure of California’s political parties and the patterns of partisanship among the electorate while noting while those who “decline to state” a political party when they register have increased in number.
Week 12 Overview
Chapter 3 describes California’s voters and candidates, emphasizing the differences between the total population of the state and those who actually participate in the political process. A substantial portion of this chapter describes and discusses the techniques of political campaigns, especially the use of direct mail and television. The role of the media, of particular significance in California, also is examined.
Chapter 4 surveys the variety and tactics of interest groups operating in California as well as regulations on their activities.
Week 15 Overview
Chapter 7 examines the executive branch in California, a microcosm of the state’s political system: it is riddled with fragmentation and redundancy. Eight major office holders are elected independently of one another. Among these, the governor stands out as most powerful. However, other officeholders—notably the attorney general and controller—exercise significant constitutional authority and enjoy considerable prestige. Noting the disjointed organization of the executive branch, this chapter sets out the responsibilities of the various offices and describes the state bureaucracy.
Chapter 8 examines budget making, the process for allocating the state’s resources. More often than not, the state’s political leaders are caught between pressure to spend more and the consequences they face for collecting the money to meet the state’s needs. This chapter presents California’s taxing and spending systems in their highly political contexts.
Week 16 Overview
Chapter 9 addresses local government, which affects the way we live even more than state government on a day-to-day basis. This chapter introduces the functions and organization of cities, counties, and other local governments. The process of forming these governments is described along with what they do. Internal politics are revealed through discussion of representation (at-large and district council elections) and executive power (mayors and managers). Special districts and the challenge of governing urbanized regions with so many different local governments are also discussed, along with taxing and spending and the current budget woes faced by many cities and counties.
Chapter 10 notes that the downsizing of national government and shift of domestic policy responsibilities to the states have raised serious questions about the relationship between California and the federal government. Key policy areas include high speed rail, immigration, the climate change and water. Because California is the most populous state in the union, the extent of its clout in Washington is critical to assuring leverage in these and other sensitive policy areas. This chapter focuses on California’s impact on the national policy making arena as well as the federal government’s commitment to California.
President Trump’s relationship with the news media is a rocky one, with the president even singling out some media outlets as “enemies of the American people.” The tension is creating a lot of talk about “fake news.” What is your opinion of how the news media is covering President Trump? What do you think of the term “fake news,” and who is responsible for creating “fake news”?
Week 14 Discussion Board
Which state pays its legislators more than any other state but forces them to leave office as soon as they gain valuable experience? Answer: California. That situation is the result of California voters in 1990 and 2012 approving initiatives that provide strict term limits for state lawmakers. Meanwhile, members of Congress are not subject to term limits. Do you believe term limits are a good or bad idea? Please explain your position. What do you believe are the pros and cons of term limits with respect to the legislative process?

Very few would argue with the claim that the President’s role as Commander-in-Chief is the greatest formal power that a president possesses. Yet, in the Constitution, only Congress has the authority to formally “declare war.” Presidents for the last 60-70 years have openly stated that they do not need Congressional authorization to use the military to pursue America’s interests on the global stage. As proof, America has not formally declared war since WWII. So, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghanistan, and now Syria have all been military exercises, but not wars in the Constitutional sense.
Has the power of the President of the United States as Commander-in-Chief exceeded constitutional boundaries and should those powers be curtailed, given the constant state of war we find ourselves in? Or should the President’s military powers continue to expand to address the growing chaos in our world, despite the Constitution or in congruence with the Constitution? Explain your answer.
