The Constitution states, The House of Representatives shall be comp.docx
The Constitution states, "The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States..." (Art. I, Sec. 2). Contrast this with the original constitutional language for the other house of Congress, "The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof for six Years..." (Art. I, Sec. 3). The phrase "chosen by the Legislature" was changed to "elected by the people" by the 17th Amendment, but not until 1912. In other words, from the beginning the House of Representatives was intended to be exactly what its name suggests –representative of the people. (Note that in 2010 the Tea Party, and some Republican politicians, called for repeal of the 17th Amendment, eliminating the popular vote for Senators. While most Republican politicians have backed away from that view, many Tea Party chapters continue to demand its repeal.)
Textbook models suggest how members of the House of Representatives may fulfill their constitutional duty to "represent" – the delegate model, the trustee model, the oversight model, and the service model. A weakness of these models is that they ignore the pervasive influence of interest groups, partisanship, and political money (campaign contributions) on the behavior of congressional reps. To what extent do these factors interfere with effective representation?
Before writing your initial post, review the
assigned resources
.
To easily access the resources from the Ashford University Library, please see the table located in the Course Materials section.
After researching your representative by using the assigned resources, identify one important issue directly related to your rep's committee or subcommittee work in Congress. Summarize your representative's position on this focus issue as described on his or her website or illustrated by legislation sponsored by your rep. Be concrete and specific. Avoid vague generalities like "my representative is for jobs" or "my Congressman is for national security."
With respect to this focus issue, evaluate your representative's performance as a representative of the people in your legislative district. Justify your assessment from two perspectives:
How well does your rep’s position on that issue reflect your district's likely preferences or broad interests on the issue? Support your inferences about the district with fact-based evidence – not just your opinion about the district or your rep’s position on the focus issue. Demonstrate how your rep does or does not reflect his or her constituency on this issue. Consider your rep’s committee memberships and seniority.
Discuss fact-based evidence about how interest groups, political party loyalty, or campaign money may influence your representative. Can these influences weaken his or her effectiveness as a true "representative" of the district? Consider whether the district is considered a “safe” seat or a competitiv.

Assignment #1: Researching Congress Article I of the U.S. Constitution outlines the powers of Congress. The Founding Fathers saw Congress as the most important branch of government, and this is evident in the fact that the Constitution grants Congress the most powerful function of government – to make laws. Members of the House of Representatives are up for reelection every two years. The Founding Fathers developed this as a mechanism to ensure that this branch of government was accountable to the people and to prevent abuses to power (at the time it was the only part of the federal government that was directly elected, and the Founding Fathers had a bit of a trust issue with the public). Today, Congress has a whole has fallen out of public favor. The latest polling numbers put the Congressional job approval rating at around 12%. One would think that with approval ratings that low we would have constant turnover in the House of Representatives, when actually the opposite happens. In the 2014 election the incumbents were reelected in the House of Representatives at a rate of 95% (in 2010 it was 85%, in 2012 it was 90%, 95% in 2014, and 97% (!!) in 2016). Name recognition with voters is one of the big reasons why House members are reelected over and over again. For this assignment I want you to do your research so you know who your member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Note: Students each term accidently discuss their Florida Representative – be sure you are looking at your representative in Washington DC. Instructions: For this assignment please answer ALL the questions below. The format for this assignment will be a little different. You do not want to write this one as an essay. You will want to go and answer each part. (For example: 1. ANSWER 2. ANSWER). You are required to write in full sentences/paragraphs. You will not earn credit for bullet points or lists. The answers to these questions should be in your textbook or in the links I provide below. Have fun with your detective work. Each section is with a possible 26 points – so be sure you fully complete each section. 1. Background on the Congress a. How many members of in the U.S. House of Representatives? Senate? b.

The President and Crisis Management
Today is your presidential Inauguration Day. You were elected as president last November by a slim margin in both the popular vote and the electoral vote. You attended a worship service this morning with your family and about a dozen high-ranking members of the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate. Then, you and the current president took a ride in a convertible car to the U.S. Capitol, where you were sworn in as the new president of the United States. It is now official; you are the president!
As you and your family are enjoying the parade, your new chief of staff and one of the key military advisors who is a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff whispers to you that there has been a major cyberattack on key federal financial institutions across the United States that compromised the personal financial data and passwords of hundreds of thousands of citizens.
Even though you have held office for just a few hours, you know it is critical to act swiftly and decisively so that the perpetrators of the crime, the American citizens, and political leaders (those who support you and those who do not) see you as a competent and strong leader. What are your first three actions?
In your paper, you will describe these three actions in detail. Organization is important in this paper. Make certain to include the following information in your paper, and organize major sections using headings.
Briefly describe the cyberattack and its implications for the nation.
This section should be located early in the paper (i.e., in the first or second paragraph).
Do you know who the perpetrators are?
What was the goal of the crime?
How much damage was caused?
What is your first action?
Why is this action your first? Why is it so important?
What is the goal of the action? What purpose does it serve?
What individuals, groups, or organizations does it involve?
What is your second action?
Why is this action your second? Why is it so important?
What is the goal of the action? What purpose does it serve?
What individuals, groups, or organizations does it involve?
What is your third action?
Why is this action your third? Why is it so important?
What is the goal of the action? What purpose does it serve?
What individuals, groups, or organizations does it involve?
Provide a conclusion.
What are your next steps?
Briefly describe how your actions were limited by the U.S. Constitution. For example, you may feel constrained by the other two branches—powers denied to you by the U.S. Constitution or law (e.g., declaring war or appointing to key positions in your administration loyal and trusted friends without going through the formal appointment process or the civil services system).
Your paper must be 2–4 pages in length, not counting the title page and references page. Make certain to double-space, apply 1-inch margins, and u.

Running for office. What would YOU do? 70% of students will evaluate the information learned in SLO #2 and then create a campaign of their own for a hypothetical run for office. [SLO #3 fulfills the following Program Level Outcomes: Communication, Critical Thinking, Social and Personal Responsibility, as well as the following Course Level Outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.]
Activity for Assessment:
Now that you've followed some campaigns, analyzed candidates and gotten up to date on some issues, I want you to take this opportunity to tell me what you would do if you had the opportunity to run for state office (only--no federal offices allowed for this paper). Imagine, you are running for Governor, Lt. Governor, Comptroller, Texas State Senate/House, Secretary of Agriculture, etc. Regardless of whether it is a federal or state election, we always feel like we are voting for the lesser of two evils. What would you do to make constituents want to vote for you as opposed to just choose you because they like the other candidate less than you? This is your chance to tell me what you think is important in our state. It is your chance to put all the complaining we do about politics and make a decision to make a difference, even if it is hypothetical.
You are going to need to do the following for this paper:
Choose a:
party,
office you wish to "run" for,
slogan and platform,
strategy for raising money and campaigning,
what committees you'd be interested in joining while in office, if running for House or Senate (ideally, committees that would help push your agenda)
This will all require you to do some outside research with regards to what the parties stand for, rules for fund raising, etc.
This assignment must follow MLA guidelines, be typed in Times New Roman, 12 pt. font, and be a minimum of 1000 words with a works cited page. The works cited are not included in the minimum word count. All research must be cited.

Week 2 - Discussion 1Policy-making in the Federal System.docx
Week 2 - Discussion 1
Policy-making in the Federal System
The U.S. government's expansive role in public policy is caught in a swirl of conflicting cross-currents. On the one hand, popular expectations about government's responsibility to solve problems often exceed the capacity of state and local authorities to respond effectively. On the other hand, policies developed at the national level may not sufficiently reflect the great diversity of interests across the U.S. to be effective at the local level. Moreover, the search for effective policy is further complicated by theoretical debates about the constitutional framework of federalism, e.g., what limits on national power can be derived from the Tenth Amendment?
A policy area in the middle of these cross-currents is elementary and secondary education – a subject traditionally under local control, with some oversight by the states. However, during the last four decades – especially since 2001 – the national government's role in education has grown significantly as a result of initiatives by Republican and Democratic administrations. Use the assigned resources to inform yourself about this role and the arguments of its supporters and critics.
Before writing your initial post, review the assigned resources. To easily access the resources from the Ashford University Library, please see the table located in the Course Materials section.
In your initial post of at least 200-250 words, briefly summarize the national government's education policies. Explain the main pros and cons in the debate about these policies. Evaluate them from two perspectives:
· The policies’ effectiveness in improving the quality of U.S. elementary and secondary education. (Justify your assessment by clearly explaining your definition of "effectiveness" and how it should be measured or determined.)
· Their consistency with the constitutional framework of federalism. (Justify your assessment by clearly explaining your interpretation of American federalism's constitutional framework and why federal education policies are or are not consistent with it.)
Fully respond to all parts of the question. Write in your own words. Support your position with APA citations to two or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion. Please be sure that you demonstrate understanding of these resources, integrate them into your argument, and cite them properly.
Week 2 - Discussion 2
Meet Your Rep
The Constitution states, "The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States..." (Art. I, Sec. 2). Contrast this with the original constitutional language for the other house of Congress, "The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof for six Years..." (Art. I, Sec. 3). The phrase "chosen by the Legislature" was changed to "elected by the people" by the 17th Amendment, but not unti.
A party’s platform is its official statement of beliefs and va.docx
A party’s "platform" is its official statement of beliefs and values. Most members of a political party – including its elected officials - have never read their party’s platform. A widely-held view among campaign professionals and political consultants is that a party’s platform can never help its candidates, but can hurt them if it contains provisions that are considered controversial by swing voters.
Your professor’s view is that party platforms are generally written by the most conservative Republicans and the most liberal Democrats – since those are the only party members devoted enough to hang around party conventions long enough to argue and vote on the platform provisions.
Do party platforms really mean anything? Is there really any difference?
Find the most recent platforms of the Republican Party of Texas and the Texas Democratic Party. You can get them from the state party websites:
http://www.txdemocrats.org/
http://www.texasgop.org/
Write a brief essay (the usual, 2 - 5 pages double-spaced...). Describe the similarities and differences in the two documents. Most importantly, tell me what you would use from each party’s platform in a campaign AGAINST its candidates if you were working for the other side.

“The 1960s: A Decade of Promise and Heartbreak”
By Kenneth T. Walsh
March 9, 2010
US News
It was a decade of extremes, of
transformational
change and
bizarre
contrasts: flower children and
assassins
,
idealism
and
alienation
, rebellion and
backlash
. For many in the
massive
post-World War II baby boom generation, it was both the best of times and the worst of times. (7 words)
There will be many 50-year anniversaries to mark significant events of the 1960s, and a big reason is that what happened in that remarkable era still
resonates
today. At the dawn of that decade of contrasts a half century ago—on Jan. 2 ,1960—a
charismatic
young senator from Massachusetts named John F. Kennedy announced that he was running for president, and he won the nation's highest office the following November. He remains one of the
iconic
figures in U.S. history. On February 1, four determined black men sat at a whites-only lunch counter at a Woolworth's in Greensboro, N.C., and were denied service. Their act of
defiance
triggered a wave of sit-ins for civil rights across the South and brought
unrelenting
national attention to America's original sin of racism. On March 3, Elvis Presley returned to the United States from his Army stint in Germany, resuming his career as a pioneer of rock-and-roll and an icon of the youth culture celebrating freedom and a growing sense of rebellion.(5 words)
By the end of the decade, Kennedy had been
assassinated
, along with his brother Robert and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. America's cities had become powder kegs as African-Americans, despite historic gains toward legal equality, became more impatient than ever at being second-class citizens. Women began demanding their rights in
unprecedented
numbers. Young people and their parents felt a widening generation gap as seen in their differing perceptions of
patriotism
, drug use, sexuality, and the work ethic. The now familiar culture wars between liberals and conservatives caused angry divisions over law and order, busing, racial preferences, abortion, the Vie.

Based on what you learn those people, you will learn about feelings and their problems and difficulties when they first arrived in foreign countries. And knowing this, now you have to take this knowledge and apply to marketing and answer the questions whether it's difficult to adopt to foreign culture if it's difficult for people it's probably will be very difficult to also introduce those products and adopt those products to foreign culture.

Sontag argues that while photographs can shock people, they are limited in helping people understand complex issues. Photographs alone do not provide context or narrative to help viewers comprehend what they are seeing. Narratives are better able to help people understand by providing more information and details beyond a single image. This has implications for how contemporary politics and humanitarian organizations use photographs and narrative to educate people and raise awareness.

Week 2 - Discussion 1
Policy-making in the Federal System
The U.S. government's expansive role in public policy is caught in a swirl of conflicting cross-currents. On the one hand, popular expectations about government's responsibility to solve problems often exceed the capacity of state and local authorities to respond effectively. On the other hand, policies developed at the national level may not sufficiently reflect the great diversity of interests across the U.S. to be effective at the local level. Moreover, the search for effective policy is further complicated by theoretical debates about the constitutional framework of federalism, e.g., what limits on national power can be derived from the Tenth Amendment?
A policy area in the middle of these cross-currents is elementary and secondary education – a subject traditionally under local control, with some oversight by the states. However, during the last four decades – especially since 2001 – the national government's role in education has grown significantly as a result of initiatives by Republican and Democratic administrations. Use the assigned resources to inform yourself about this role and the arguments of its supporters and critics.
Before writing your initial post, review the assigned resources. To easily access the resources from the Ashford University Library, please see the table located in the Course Materials section.
In your initial post of at least 200-250 words, briefly summarize the national government's education policies. Explain the main pros and cons in the debate about these policies. Evaluate them from two perspectives:
· The policies’ effectiveness in improving the quality of U.S. elementary and secondary education. (Justify your assessment by clearly explaining your definition of "effectiveness" and how it should be measured or determined.)
· Their consistency with the constitutional framework of federalism. (Justify your assessment by clearly explaining your interpretation of American federalism's constitutional framework and why federal education policies are or are not consistent with it.)
Fully respond to all parts of the question. Write in your own words. Support your position with APA citations to two or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion. Please be sure that you demonstrate understanding of these resources, integrate them into your argument, and cite them properly.

Meet Your Rep
The Constitution states, "The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States..." (Art. I, Sec. 2). Contrast this with the original constitutional language for the other house of Congress, "The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof for six Years..." (Art. I, Sec. 3). The phrase "chosen by the Legislature" was changed to "elected by the people" by the 17th Amendment, but not unti.
A party’s platform is its official statement of beliefs and va.docx
A party’s "platform" is its official statement of beliefs and values. Most members of a political party – including its elected officials - have never read their party’s platform. A widely-held view among campaign professionals and political consultants is that a party’s platform can never help its candidates, but can hurt them if it contains provisions that are considered controversial by swing voters.
Your professor’s view is that party platforms are generally written by the most conservative Republicans and the most liberal Democrats – since those are the only party members devoted enough to hang around party conventions long enough to argue and vote on the platform provisions.
Do party platforms really mean anything? Is there really any difference?
Find the most recent platforms of the Republican Party of Texas and the Texas Democratic Party. You can get them from the state party websites:

“The 1960s: A Decade of Promise and Heartbreak”
By Kenneth T. Walsh
March 9, 2010
US News
It was a decade of extremes, of
transformational
change and
bizarre
contrasts: flower children and
assassins
,
idealism
and
alienation
, rebellion and
backlash
. For many in the
massive
post-World War II baby boom generation, it was both the best of times and the worst of times. (7 words)
There will be many 50-year anniversaries to mark significant events of the 1960s, and a big reason is that what happened in that remarkable era still
resonates
today. At the dawn of that decade of contrasts a half century ago—on Jan. 2 ,1960—a
charismatic
young senator from Massachusetts named John F. Kennedy announced that he was running for president, and he won the nation's highest office the following November. He remains one of the
iconic
figures in U.S. history. On February 1, four determined black men sat at a whites-only lunch counter at a Woolworth's in Greensboro, N.C., and were denied service. Their act of
defiance
triggered a wave of sit-ins for civil rights across the South and brought
unrelenting
national attention to America's original sin of racism. On March 3, Elvis Presley returned to the United States from his Army stint in Germany, resuming his career as a pioneer of rock-and-roll and an icon of the youth culture celebrating freedom and a growing sense of rebellion.(5 words)
By the end of the decade, Kennedy had been
assassinated
, along with his brother Robert and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. America's cities had become powder kegs as African-Americans, despite historic gains toward legal equality, became more impatient than ever at being second-class citizens. Women began demanding their rights in
unprecedented
numbers. Young people and their parents felt a widening generation gap as seen in their differing perceptions of
patriotism
, drug use, sexuality, and the work ethic. The now familiar culture wars between liberals and conservatives caused angry divisions over law and order, busing, racial preferences, abortion, the Vie.

-What kind or type of culture shock they experienced when they first came to Kuwait?
And whether they tolerated? how do they feel where they tolerated by Kuwaitis ?
- why culture tolerance of a foreign country is required in international marketing.
Based on what you learn those people, you will learn about feelings and their problems and difficulties when they first arrived in foreign countries. And knowing this, now you have to take this knowledge and apply to marketing and answer the questions whether it's difficult to adopt to foreign culture if it's difficult for people it's probably will be very difficult to also introduce those products and adopt those products to foreign culture.

Sontag argues that while photographs can shock people, they are limited in helping people understand complex issues. Photographs alone do not provide context or narrative to help viewers comprehend what they are seeing. Narratives are better able to help people understand by providing more information and details beyond a single image. This has implications for how contemporary politics and humanitarian organizations use photographs and narrative to educate people and raise awareness.

Reverse logistics: product recycling, packaging recycling, returnable assets
·
Demand fluctuation management: joint planning, execution and monitoring
·
Identification and labelling: through the use of barcodes and RFID tags. Identification is about providing all partners in the value chain with the ability to use the same standardised mechanism to uniquely identify parties/locations, items and events with clear rules about where, how, when and by whom these will be created, used and maintained. Labels currently are the most widely used means to communicate about relevant sustainability and security aspects of a certain product towards consumers

Introduction (Slide 1 of 2)
• Managerial decisions are often based on the relationship between two or
more variables:
• Example: After considering the relationship between advertising
expenditures and sales, a marketing manager might attempt to predict sales
for a given level of advertising expenditures.
• Sometimes a manager will rely on intuition to judge how two variables
are related.
• If data can be obtained, a statistical procedure called regression analysis
can be used to develop an equation showing how the variables are
related.

Introduction (Slide 2 of 2)
• Dependent variable or response: Variable being predicted.
• Independent variables or predictor variables: Variables being used
to predict the value of the dependent variable.
• Simple linear regression: A regression analysis for which any one
unit change in the independent variable, x, is assumed to result in
the same change in the dependent variable, y.
• Multiple linear regression: A regression analysis involving two or
more independent variables.

Simple Linear Regression Model (Slide 1 of 5)
Regression Model:
• The equation that describes how y is related to x and an error term.
• Parameters: The characteristics of the population, 0 1 and .
• Random variable: Error term, .
• The error term accounts for the variability in y that cannot be explained by
the linear relationship between x and y.

Estimated Regression Equation:
• The parameter values are usually not known and must be estimated using
sample data.
• Sample statistics 0 1(denoted and )b b are computed as estimates of the
population parameters
0 1 and .
• Substituting the values of the sample statistics 0 1 0 1 and for and inb b
the regression equation and dropping the error term, we obtain the
estimated regression for simple linear regression.

0 1ŷ b b x= +
• ŷ = Estimate for the mean value of y corresponding to a given value of x.
• 0b = Estimated y-intercept.
•
1b = Estimated slope.
• The graph of the estimated simple linear regression equation is called the
estimated regression line.
• In general, ŷ is the point estimator of ( ) ,E y x the mean value of y for a

Your first assignment is to draft a profile of your member of Congre.docx
- 1. Your first assignment is to draft a profile of your member of Congress. The profile should be written as if the member him/herself actually did the writing (so it should be written in the first person (for example: “I am a member of Congress from the second district….”). Your profile should include the following information: The member’s personal background (age, race, gender, religion, education, occupation, legislative style, etc.) The location, size, and population demographics of the member’s congressional district The main industry or enterprise within the member’s district, if any The member’s primary concerns and issue positions (stances on public policy) The length of time the member has serviced in Congress You should be able to find all of this information on the representative’s webpage and/or through simple Google searches. Do not copy material directly from the web— paraphrase and use citations. The profile should be one-page long (double-space, 12 pt font).
