Public Service Question

Public Service Question

PART 1 (75 WORDS)

For your initial post this week, imagine you are a candidate for the White House and present to the class at least one executive action you would take on your first day serving as president. (Please Note: it is not acceptable to state that you think no action should be taken.)

Go beyond just stating what the executive order you would make is. Make an argument supporting your action. Is it a legal action? Does the president have the power to take this action without Congress? Is this really a state issue and not a federal issue? Is this executive action, in your opinion, a good idea, why or why not? Would the public be in favor of such an executive action?

PART 2

This week we learned about the presidency, the powers of the presidency, and the unique way our president is elected via the Electoral College. In this assignment you will be guided in creating a complete argument regarding whether or not you think the Electoral College should be kept or eliminated.

This activity will be useful practice in how to create and present and thoughtful argument. The ability to create and communicate a thoughtful argument will help you out in future studies and in any career.

Your essay must be at least 500 words long.

Follow these steps to create an argument in the form of an essay:

Step 1

In one or two very clear sentences state whether or not you think the Electoral College should be kept or eliminated. This is called writing a thesis statement.

Step 2

In three paragraphs describing three (3) arguments that support your position regarding the Electoral College. Give each argument one paragraph. Do not just list three arguments in support of your position regarding the Electoral College. You must tell the reader why each of your three arguments supports your position on the Electoral College.

Step 3

In three paragraphs describe three (3) arguments that go against your position regarding the Electoral College. This is called addressing counterarguments. Give each counterargument one paragraph. Describe the counterargument and then tell the reader of your essay why that counterargument should be dismissed.

Step 4

Write one paragraph concluding your essay. Restate your initial position on the Electoral College. And review the one or two arguments that you found to be the most compelling in support of your position.

Step 5

Write a reference list. In any good argument you will present your ideas but then include evidence from credible external sources to support your ideas. Always include a reference list.

In outline form your paper should look like this.

1.Introduction: Thesis statement of your position regarding the Electoral College.

2.Three arguments supporting your position.

a.Describe argument 1 and why it supports your position.

b.Describe argument 2 and why it supports your position.

c.Describe argument 3 and why it supports your position.

3.Three counter arguments opposing your position.

a.Describe counter argument 1 and why it is not sufficient.

b.Describe counter argument 2 and why it is not sufficient.

c.Describe counter argument 3 and why it is not sufficient.

4.Conclusion paragraph.

Please note: APA formatting and citations rules apply to this and all essays in this course.

Political Science

12-15 page paper based on one of the following prompts. Additional articles (which i will provide several) must also be read and cited in this paper and alluded to, in additon to whatever research you may do.

DO PROPER SUBHEADINGS

START WITH INTRO END WITH CONCLUSION’

Prompts

  • Examine the role that a specific accountability approach (for example: universal jurisdiction claims, a truth commission, an international court, a reparations process) played in two or three different contexts involving mass human rights violations. Discuss what worked and what did not work. Offer lessons that you think future practitioners should draw from these examples.
  • Choose a specific human rights issue in any country (including, but not limited to, the United States). Discuss and analyze whether the international human rights system and foreign actors should or should not be involved in seeking to address this issue. Explain why or why not, to what extent, and how this relates to your view of universalism and cultural relativism.
  • Choose a human rights movement (past or present) and discuss what theories of rights you think informed and shaped this movement. How did this influence the human rights interventions and human rights institutions the movement prioritized?
  • Pick five authors we read this semester and one real-world human rights issue. Put the authors in conversation with one another and analyze the merits and shortcomings of their views on human rights in relation to that real-world human rights issue.
  • The current human rights regime is sometimes critiqued as neo-colonial. Discuss a specific aspect of this critique and offer proposals for reform or more radical change.
  • What are the relative costs and benefits of reparations versus forward-looking attempts at justice? How would you propose human rights practitioners better balance these two goals in their approaches moving forward?
  • Compare the ways in which the different regional human rights systems addressed a specific human rights issue. Evaluate their approaches and take a position about which approach was best. Explain why.
  • Argue for a specific public policy or advocacy effort that could increase equality, informed by human rights theory and practice. Discuss the specific type of inequality the policy or effort is meant to address, what equality means in this context (including the ways in which you are defining the boundaries of the community in which inequality exists –for example: in a country, in a community, globally?, and the benefits and limitations of the human rights framework in addressing the existing inequality.
  • Choose an example of a human rights issue around the world; discuss any cultural relativism-related challenges and what you think these challenges mean for future practitioners.
  • Use the capabilities and human rights approach to evaluate a specific public policy related to human rights, take a position on the strengths and weaknesses of the public policy, and propose any changes you would make.
  • Delve into the different views of the authors we read on whether transnational human rights advocacy is solidarity or moral imperialism, examine a current human rights issue, including the role of actors that inhabit different moral communities (for example: national communities, global communities, religious communities, etc.) in addressing that issue, and develop a position. Consider what your position means for the practice of human rights activism.
  • State a critique of the International Criminal Court and propose ways this critique could be addressed.

Requirements: 12-15 pages   |

Choose a human rights movement (past or present) and discuss what theories of rights you think informed and shaped this movement. How did this influence the human rights interventions and human rights institutions the movement prioritized?

Question Description: (GerMeka)
W3: Fallacies to Persuade and Possibly Manipulate
Goal: Observe how logical fallacies are used to persuade and at times, manipulate.

Course Objectives: CO2

 

Description:

Advertisements exist to sell you a product. It might be soap, music, political positions, or ideas. Most advertisements use a variety of logical fallacies to persuade but some use them to subtlety or overtly manipulate the intended audience.

Find an ad. You don’t have to repeat the entire ad, only enough to familiarize us with it…

(1) name the fallacy it commits

(2) define the fallacy and

(3) explain in detail how this ad is an example of this fallacy.

Perform the given exercise to understand it better.

Example:

The appeal to ignorance is a fallacy based on the assumption that a statement must be true if it cannot be proven false — or false if it cannot be proven true.

An ad claims that “Nobody has ever proved to me that Shrest Whitening Strips are harmful” which erroneously implies that you know they aren’t.
– Review the list of logical fallacies in your content and study the ads presented.

– Select at least two (2) ads that you feel represent two (2) different logical fallacies.

– Determine how the language and images of the ads appeal to the consumer; identify the kinds of fallacies being used; and describe what needs or insecurities the ads are trying to reach.

– Explain the ads’ effectiveness.

Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property

Literacy Discussion

The Learning Activity “Intellectual Property” discusses the meaning and importance of protecting intellectual property. What is one thing mentioned in the reading that can be copyright protected? Next, provide an example of something not mentioned in the reading that can be copyright protected and explain why. Then, provide one example of something that a patent might protect. Please explain why it would be protected and provide examples from the reading to support your response.

Intellectual Property

Introduction

Students must be aware of intellectual property rights and usage restrictions. In this section, you will learn multiple intellectual property terms and the usage implications of each.

© iStock/Thinkstock

It is important to consider the legal aspects of determining use of another’s ideas or information. Intellectual property is defined by the American Intellectual Property Law Association as work “that results from the fruits of mental labor” (2014). Federal patent, trademark, and copyright laws promote the rights and protections for intellectual property owners. According to AIPLA, “Patents protect inventions of tangible things; copyrights protect various forms of written and artistic expression; and trademarks protect a name or symbol that identifies the source of goods or services” (2014).

Property rights and protections are provided under the Fair Use clause of U.S. copyright law. Understanding the following definition of copyright is central to this lesson’s objective. “Copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States (title 17, U.S. Code) to the authors of “original works of authorship,” including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works. This protection is available to both published and unpublished works (U.S. Copyright Office, 2008). With new digital content emerging constantly, it is important to keep abreast of copyright issues.

Copyright and plagiarism are just two aspects of intellectual property that you need to consider every time you are dealing with attributing information, data, or creative works to another (Bobish & Jacobson, 2014). You must also be mindful of open access issues, which relate to valuable research data and academic online publications. There are two important things to note: you often need to ask the author for permission, and many open access publications use Creative Commons licensing (Bobish & Jacobson, 2014).

In each discipline, there are various issues of ownership to consider. For example, in science and technology-related fields, it is necessary to learn how patents work. Patents cover the rights to invention of new machinery or processes, and plants can also be patented (U.S. Patent and Trademarks Office, 2014). If you would like more information on copyright ownership, the United States Patent and Trademarks Office (USPTO) offers extensive information. It is important to protect your own intellectual property as well as that of others.

-Post adds value by raising novel points or providing new perspectives.

-Post is concise and clearly written in an academic tone; Sentences are complete; spelling, grammar and punctuation are correct.

Requirements: more than 50 Characters, less than 4000 characters

SOCY325 Week 6 discussion

This week asks you to look at many different institutions in our society specifically as gendered institutions. Referring directly to the learning resources for this week, as a response to this post, take a moment to synthesize what you have learned:

  1. What are some of the major threads that connect these institutions in terms of gender, gender expectations, or effects on gender?
  2. Are there any common problems that need to be solved?
  3. Why is it important to consider intersectionality whenever we look at gender in institutions? Give at least two examples from the learning resources.
  4. Is the role of gender in politics connected to finding those solutions? If so, how?
  5. Finally, choose one or two of the gendered institutions we learn about this week (education, politics, criminal justice, military, healthcare, religion), and dive deeper into these questions:
    • How do expectations about gender affect that institution?
    • How does that institution affect gender?
    • What are the major hurdles to achieving gender equality in that institution?
    • What would gender equality look like in that institution?
    • And, what do you see as the major work that institution needs to do to achieve gender equality?
