For the Team Assignment my responsibility is 2 slides with speaker notes. You can post the team assignment as soon as you complete so I can post please
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.

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.
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.
Identify a currently discriminatory public policy, explain why it is discriminatory, and propose a reform informed by human rights theory and practice. Discuss the benefits and limitations of the human rights framework in addressing the existing discrimination.
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.
