Two different discussions, both should be in APA format and 250 words each.
Discussion 1
The federal government of the United States was constructed using the directions provided in the U.S. Constitution. Our Founding Fathers had the wisdom and foresight to create a very flexible and intelligently structured government framework that has endured. The entire American political system is based on four constitutionally derived pillars: a national government; separation of powers; federalism; and individual rights. Briefly describe each pillar, how it interacts with the other three pillars, and then provide real-world examples of how each pillar supports our government. How does the U.S. Constitution establish checks and balances and federalism using these pillars? Please
explain the reasoning behind your response.
Discussion 2
Our judicial branch of government was designed not only to serve as a check on the power of the executive and legislative branches but also to be the final arbiter on disputes among states and between the states and the federal government. One important arbitration tool utilized by the judicial branch is judicial review. Judicial review is one of the U.S. Constitution’s most provocative features as it plays an important role in shaping the laws that impact our society. For this discussion, complete the following:
Define judicial review.
Explain why the origins and legitimacy of judicial review are often called into question.
Discuss whether the framers of the Constitution intended for the judiciary to have this role in the policy making process.
Share your opinion on judicial review. Explain why you support or do not support judicial review.

Democracies Around the WorldThe United States does not have a .docx
Democracies Around the World
The United States does not have a monopoly on democracy. Democratic governance is flourishing in other nations around the world. Not all democracies are alike, however. Citizens adapt democratic governance to meet their local needs and conform to their cultural mores. The United Kingdom and the United States are held up as leading examples of democratic governance. Both nations are long established and robust, yet each approaches democratic governance differently. The United Kingdom has a parliamentary government, while the United States has a presidential government. Comparing and contrasting different approaches to democratic governance is an excellent way for you to increase your knowledge of how other governments work and at the same time gain new insights into how you are governed in your own country.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the article “Duration of Party Control in Parliamentary and Presidential Governments: A Study of 65 Democracies, 1950 to 1998” in this week’s Learning Resources. Take note of similarities and differences between parliamentary and presidential governments.
Review the article “Economic Development and Democracy” in this week’s Learning Resources. Focus on the comparisons made between development and democracy. Consider how the information in this article might inform a comparison between nations.
Peruse the Internet for official government websites of nations around the world. Identify at least two nations, other than your home nation, that have forms of democracy and browse the website for each.
Focus on the specific form of democracy that exists in the nations you identified.
Consider the similarities and differences between each of the governments and with the United States, paying particular attention to types of governing bodies (i.e., Senate, Parliament, House of Lords) within each government, which bodies are responsible for day-to-day government operations, and which are involved in developing or implementing public policy.
Think about similarities and differences between the three countries and then between them and the United States in terms of governance and public policy.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 4
a brief description of democracy in the nations you selected. Explain the similarities and differences of democracy in this nation(s) with democracy in the United States in terms of governance and public policy. Alternatively, you may explain the similarities and differences of democracy in 2 of the 3 nations you studied. Also, share at least one insight you gained and/or conclusion you drew based on your comparison.

Assignment #1
Voting and Voter Turnout
Voting and Voter Turnout
Prepare:
Prior to completing this discussion question, review Chapters 9 and 10 in
American Government
and the following articles: “
How Voter ID Laws Are Being Used to Disenfranchise Minorities and the Poor
,” “
Fraught with Fraud
,” and “
Proof at the Polls
.”
Reflect:
The U.S. has one of the lowest voter turnout rates among modern democratic political systems. One study ranks the U.S. 120th on a list of 169 nations compared on voter turnout (Pintor, Gratschew, & Sullivan, 2002). During the last decade, many initiatives have been undertaken to increase voter participation, yet concerns about the possibility of election fraud have also increased. Additionally, some political interests feel threatened by the increase in turnout among some traditionally low-turnout ethnic minorities. Several states have recently passed legislation imposing new registration and identification requirements. This has sparked debate about whether these are tactics intended to suppress turnout or to prevent fraud.
Write:
In your initial post, summarize recent developments in several states enacting voter ID laws. Analyze and describe the pros and cons on
both sides
of the debate about these laws. Is voter fraud a major problem for our democracy or are some groups trying to make it harder for some segments of society to vote? Draw your own conclusion about the debate over voter ID laws. Justify your conclusions with facts and persuasive reasoning.
Fully respond to all parts of the question and write your response in your own words. Your initial post must be 200 to 250 words. Support your position with APA citations from
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 Five Reflection
Prepare:
Prior to beginning your reflection, review all course readings and videos as required.
Reflect:
The U.S. national government is based on the framework detailed in the U.S. Constitution. The process that the Founding Fathers used to map out our national government is fascinating and illuminating. The Constitution creates a system of checks and balances and separation of powers that have been focal points for class discussions. In addition, the Constitution identifies three main branches for the national government: the legislative, executive, and judicial, which are tasked, respectively, with the creation of the legislation to guide the country, the implementation and execution of that legislation, and the review of that legislation for constitutionality and legality. Interacting with the federal government includes a variety of different actors and political processes such a.

Overview: Chapter 1
Political Thinking and Political Culture: Becoming a Responsible Citizen
Chapter Goals
The chapter addresses the following goals:
· Describe the importance of political thinking in a democracy and the current barriers to political thinking among the public.
· Describe the discipline of political science and how it can contribute to political thinking.
· Explain the nature of politics in the U.S. and how it is a struggle for power among competing groups and interests.
· Discuss America’s cultural ideals of liberty, individualism, equality and self-government and how they have affected some public issues like taxation or social welfare policy.
· Discuss the major rules of American politics: democracy, constitutionalism, and the free market system, and why rules are necessary in politics.
· Explain differing theories of political power, including majoritarianism, pluralism, corporate power, and elitism, and how they may undercut the ideals of democracy in the U.S.
· Discuss the nature of the free market system in the U.S. and how it compares to European and other economic systems.
Focus and Main Points
Contemporary American government is placed in historical perspective in this chapter. The value of political science in examining the development of American politics since the country’s earliest years is examined briefly, and concepts such as power, pluralism, and constitutionalism that are central to the study of government and politics are also assessed. In addition, the value of political thinking and the ability of political science to help develop political thinking are discussed. Several comparisons between the cultural development of political institutions and financial systems of the United States and Europe are made to help illustrate the different forms of government and economic organization.
The main points of this chapter are as follows:
· The development of political thinking is important for functioning democracies, which rely on the informed choices of citizens for the formation of government. There are powerful barriers to political thinking, such as individual unwillingness to develop it, changing patterns of media consumption, and “spin” by political leaders. Political science is a discipline that can help develop political thinking among students and also lead to a fuller understanding of political phenomena.
· Every country has a distinctive political culture, a widely shared and deep-seated belief system. National identity in many countries is taken from the common ancestry and kinship they share. Americans are linked not by a shared ancestry but by the country’s political culture as the foundation of its national identity.
· Politics is the process through which a society settles its conflicts. Those who win, in political conflict, are said to have power, and those leaders that have gained the legitimacy to use that power have authority. The play of politics in the United States takes place in the con.

This article examines the role that states play in the federal regulatory process and the implications of that role for theories of administrative legitimacy. It finds that states have increasingly privileged access to federal agencies through formal consultation requirements and informal channels, influenced by the interdependence of state and federal regulatory programs. However, a robust state consultation role threatens several dominant models of administrative legitimacy. It may undermine presidential control by pushing agencies toward opaque, factional decisionmaking. It also risks politicizing agency expertise and could exacerbate imbalanced interest group representation. While not inherently problematic, state involvement raises many of the same legitimacy concerns as other interest groups.

Democracies Around the World
The United States does not have a monopoly on democracy. Democratic governance is flourishing in other nations around the world. Not all democracies are alike, however. Citizens adapt democratic governance to meet their local needs and conform to their cultural mores. The United Kingdom and the United States are held up as leading examples of democratic governance. Both nations are long established and robust, yet each approaches democratic governance differently. The United Kingdom has a parliamentary government, while the United States has a presidential government. Comparing and contrasting different approaches to democratic governance is an excellent way for you to increase your knowledge of how other governments work and at the same time gain new insights into how you are governed in your own country.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the article “Duration of Party Control in Parliamentary and Presidential Governments: A Study of 65 Democracies, 1950 to 1998” in this week’s Learning Resources. Take note of similarities and differences between parliamentary and presidential governments.
Review the article “Economic Development and Democracy” in this week’s Learning Resources. Focus on the comparisons made between development and democracy. Consider how the information in this article might inform a comparison between nations.
Peruse the Internet for official government websites of nations around the world. Identify at least two nations, other than your home nation, that have forms of democracy and browse the website for each.
Focus on the specific form of democracy that exists in the nations you identified.
Consider the similarities and differences between each of the governments and with the United States, paying particular attention to types of governing bodies (i.e., Senate, Parliament, House of Lords) within each government, which bodies are responsible for day-to-day government operations, and which are involved in developing or implementing public policy.
Think about similarities and differences between the three countries and then between them and the United States in terms of governance and public policy.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 4
a brief description of democracy in the nations you selected. Explain the similarities and differences of democracy in this nation(s) with democracy in the United States in terms of governance and public policy. Alternatively, you may explain the similarities and differences of democracy in 2 of the 3 nations you studied. Also, share at least one insight you gained and/or conclusion you drew based on your comparison.

American Government
and the following articles: “
How Voter ID Laws Are Being Used to Disenfranchise Minorities and the Poor
,” “
Fraught with Fraud
,” and “
Proof at the Polls
.”
Reflect:
The U.S. has one of the lowest voter turnout rates among modern democratic political systems. One study ranks the U.S. 120th on a list of 169 nations compared on voter turnout (Pintor, Gratschew, & Sullivan, 2002). During the last decade, many initiatives have been undertaken to increase voter participation, yet concerns about the possibility of election fraud have also increased. Additionally, some political interests feel threatened by the increase in turnout among some traditionally low-turnout ethnic minorities. Several states have recently passed legislation imposing new registration and identification requirements. This has sparked debate about whether these are tactics intended to suppress turnout or to prevent fraud.
Write:
In your initial post, summarize recent developments in several states enacting voter ID laws. Analyze and describe the pros and cons on
both sides
of the debate about these laws. Is voter fraud a major problem for our democracy or are some groups trying to make it harder for some segments of society to vote? Draw your own conclusion about the debate over voter ID laws. Justify your conclusions with facts and persuasive reasoning.
Fully respond to all parts of the question and write your response in your own words. Your initial post must be 200 to 250 words. Support your position with APA citations from
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.

The U.S. national government is based on the framework detailed in the U.S. Constitution. The process that the Founding Fathers used to map out our national government is fascinating and illuminating. The Constitution creates a system of checks and balances and separation of powers that have been focal points for class discussions. In addition, the Constitution identifies three main branches for the national government: the legislative, executive, and judicial, which are tasked, respectively, with the creation of the legislation to guide the country, the implementation and execution of that legislation, and the review of that legislation for constitutionality and legality. Interacting with the federal government includes a variety of different actors and political processes such a.

· Explain differing theories of political power, including majoritarianism, pluralism, corporate power, and elitism, and how they may undercut the ideals of democracy in the U.S.
· Discuss the nature of the free market system in the U.S. and how it compares to European and other economic systems.
Focus and Main Points
Contemporary American government is placed in historical perspective in this chapter. The value of political science in examining the development of American politics since the country’s earliest years is examined briefly, and concepts such as power, pluralism, and constitutionalism that are central to the study of government and politics are also assessed. In addition, the value of political thinking and the ability of political science to help develop political thinking are discussed. Several comparisons between the cultural development of political institutions and financial systems of the United States and Europe are made to help illustrate the different forms of government and economic organization.
The main points of this chapter are as follows:
· The development of political thinking is important for functioning democracies, which rely on the informed choices of citizens for the formation of government. There are powerful barriers to political thinking, such as individual unwillingness to develop it, changing patterns of media consumption, and “spin” by political leaders. Political science is a discipline that can help develop political thinking among students and also lead to a fuller understanding of political phenomena.
· Every country has a distinctive political culture, a widely shared and deep-seated belief system. National identity in many countries is taken from the common ancestry and kinship they share. Americans are linked not by a shared ancestry but by the country’s political culture as the foundation of its national identity.
· Politics is the process through which a society settles its conflicts. Those who win, in political conflict, are said to have power, and those leaders that have gained the legitimacy to use that power have authority. The play of politics in the United States takes place in the con.

This article examines the role that states play in the federal regulatory process and the implications of that role for theories of administrative legitimacy. It finds that states have increasingly privileged access to federal agencies through formal consultation requirements and informal channels, influenced by the interdependence of state and federal regulatory programs. However, a robust state consultation role threatens several dominant models of administrative legitimacy. It may undermine presidential control by pushing agencies toward opaque, factional decisionmaking. It also risks politicizing agency expertise and could exacerbate imbalanced interest group representation. While not inherently problematic, state involvement raises many of the same legitimacy concerns as other interest groups.

, address the private/public partnership with the DHS National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), arguably the most important aspect of the act. The Cybersecurity Act of 2015 allows for private and public sharing of cybersecurity threat information.
What should the DHS NCCIC (public) share with private sector organizations? What type of threat information would enable private organizations to better secure their networks?
On the flip side, what should private organizations share with the NCCIC? As it is written, private organization sharing is completely voluntary. Should this be mandatory? If so, what are the implications to the customers' private data?
The government is not allowed to collect data on citizens. How should the act be updated to make it better and more value-added for the public-private partnership in regards to cybersecurity?

Children have always contributed to the total number of migrants crossing the southern border of the United States illegally, but in 2014, a steady overall increase in unaccompanied minors from Central America reached crisis proportions when tens of thousands of children from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras crossed the Rio Grande and overwhelmed border patrols and local infrastructure (Dart 2014).
Since legislators passed the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 in the last days of the Bush administration, unaccompanied minors from countries that do not share a border with the United States are guaranteed a hearing with an immigration judge where they may request asylum based on a “credible” fear of persecution or torture (U.S. Congress 2008). In some cases, these children are looking for relatives and can be placed with family while awaiting a hearing on their immigration status; in other cases, they are held in processing centers until the Department of Health and Human Services makes other arrangements (Popescu 2014).
The 2014 surge placed such a strain on state resources that Texas began transferring the children to Immigration and Naturalization facilities in California and elsewhere, without incident for the most part. On July 1, 2014, however, buses carrying the migrant children were blocked by protesters in Murrietta, California, who chanted, "Go home" and "We don’t want you.” (Fox News and Associated Press 2014; Reyes 2014).
A functional perspective theorist might focus on the dysfunctions caused by the sudden influx of underage asylum seekers, while a conflict perspective theorist might look at the way social stratification influences how the members of a developed country are treating the lower-status migrants from less-developed countries in Latin America. An interactionist theorist might see the significance in the attitude of the Murrietta protesters toward the migrant children.
Respond to the following questions in a 350-word essay using 12 point times new roman font double spaced: Given the fact that these children are fleeing various kinds of violence and extreme poverty, how should the U.S. government respond? Should the government pass laws granting a general amnesty? Or should it follow a zero-tolerance policy, automatically returning any and all unaccompanied minor migrants to their countries of origin so as to discourage additional immigration tha.

COMMUNICATION CLOSE-UP AT
Kaiser Permanente
kp.org (http://kp.org)
Delivering quality health care is dif�icult enough, given the complexities of technology, government regulations, evolving scienti�ic and medical understanding, and
the variability of human performance. It gets even more daunting when you add the challenges of communication among medical staff and between patients and
their caregivers, which often takes place under stressful circumstances. Those communication efforts are challenging enough in an environment where everyone
speaks the same language and feels at home in a single cultural context—but they’re in�initely more complex in the United States, whose residents identify with
dozens of different cultures and speak several hundred languages.
The Oakland-based health-care system Kaiser Permanente has been embracing the challenges and opportunities of diversity since its founding in 1945. It made a
strong statement with its very �irst hospital when it refused to follow the then-common practice of segregating patients by race. Now, as the largest not-for-pro�it
health system in the United States, Kaiser’s client base includes more than 10 million members from over 100 distinct cultures.
At the core of Kaiser’s approach is culturally competent care, which it de�ines as “health care that acknowledges cultural diversity in the clinical setting, respects
members’ beliefs and practices, and ensures that cultural needs are considered and respected at every point of contact.” These priorities.

The research focuses on investigating leaders from highly rated managed care organizations based on their leadership practices in comparison to leaders from low rated managed care organizations. High rated organizations are managed care organizations who have attained either 4.5 or 5 Medicare Stars ratings whiles low ratings organizations are organizations who have attained 3 Stars or less.
The research design: Survey was sent to leaders from both high Medicare rated and low rated organizations. I believe I have enough sample size so the result will be significant. I have received 35 response from leaders from high rated organizations and 35 from low rated organizations (35 participants each responded, making 70 participants in total). The goal is to find out if there is a significant difference in leadership practice between leaders from highly rated organizations and low rated organizations.
The survey tool used is Leadership Practice Inventory (LPI), which has a total of 30 behavioral statements that reflect on the practices leaders regularly use in managing their organizations. The leaders were invited to complete the survey online. The 30 survey questions are grouped in 5 Models:
1. Model the Way
1. Inspire a Shared Vision
1. Challenge the Process
1. Enable Others to Act
1. Encourage the Heart
The participants completed the LPI self-test, where they must rate themselves depending on the frequency, which they believe in engaging in each of the five models. They rate themselves on a 10 point likert scale, below.
1-Almost Never
3-Seldom
5-Occasionally
7-Fairly Often
9-Very Frequently
2-Rarely
4-Once in a While
6-Sometimes
8-Usually
10-Almost always
1. Dependent Variable: Attaining high Overall Medicare Star Rating
1. Independent Variables:
1. Leadership practice Practices (Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, and Encourage the Heart)
1. Years of Experience
1. Leadership Style
Abbreviations meaning:
LP- Leadership Practice
MSR – Medicare Stars Ratings
MSROs – Medicare Stars Ratings Organizations
YoE – Years of Experience
The following hypotheses has been tested, analyzed (page 4-23). SPSS software was used for data analysis.
Hypothesis 1 - There is a significant difference in LP between leaders from high (4.5 or 5) MSROs and low (3 Stars or less) MSROs.
Hypothesis 2 – There is a strong relationship between MSRs and the LP of both high and low MSROs
Hypothesis 3 - In comparison to other 4 models (thus Model the Way, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, Encourage the Hearts), practicing the “Inspire A Shared Vision” model is very significant in helping leaders influence the attainment of high MSR in MCOs.
Hypothesis 4 – The leaders’ leadership style contributes to a leader’s ability to influence the achievement of high Medicare ratings for MCO.
Hypothesis 5 – The Leaders’ of Years of Experience (YoE) is effective in enabling leaders influence the attainment o.

Interest Paper- Mental Health in Student Athletes
I am a communication major so must take this class to fulfill my requirements for the course, however, this class will set me up to understand the in-depth reasoning behind communication. The only rhetoric class I have taken in the past is rhetoric in English, not communication; I learnt about Plato, Socrates and all the pervious rhetors that formed the basis on how we communicate today. You could argue that learning it in English and now in communication it could be very similar or the same, but we aren’t focusing on what they wrote or spoke of but why and how. In this paper I chose to analyze a TedX talk from a student athlete Victoria Garrick called ‘Athletes and mental Health: The hidden opponent’, it discusses the challenges that she faced with mental health, and the struggles maintaining a top sport on a colligate team. The reasons behind this are based on the broad ideas and opinions people have on student athletes and mental health separately and together.
College athletics is a huge industry, an incredible achievement to get into a division 1 college on an athletic scholarship, but behind all this there are some dark truths. The TedX talk from Victoria Garrick explains these truths from an athlete’s perspective, this is conflicting to the ideas that an average student or outsider has, it explains what is happening behind closed doors. This artifact was gripping to me, it is something that I completely relate too; the artifact itself is a more personal approach to understand what is happening in regard to mental health in student athletes than just reading an article online. To me personally it is easier to find an artifact that I can easily relate too, something that is grossly underappreciated and classed as embarrassing, such a topic as mental health. There were no obstacles in retrieving artifacts for this interest, it is such a broad area that I am interested in finding more information about. There are artifacts everywhere about topics such as this, articles, speeches, documentaries, all gripping a relatable.
In this class I am aware that I have much to learn, understand the way in which we communicate and why, the best ways to communicate, and the best evidence and artifacts to find for a specific topic. Finding an artifact for a topic that you are deeply invested in is different than having to find one that your heart isn’t in. With regards to this paper I am already thinking about ideas of where I can focus my information on next, where can I understand different political views behind this topic? What are the families of these student athletes going through? Mental health and student athletes separately. With regards to this class I would like to be able to find these sources and write about them in a way that grips a reader and helps me understand the reasoning behind such communication methods.

From On the Advantage and Disadvantage of History for Life, by Friedrich Nietzsche (1874)
Section 1:
CONSIDER the herds that are feeding yonder: they know not the meaning of yesterday or to-day; they graze and ruminate, move or rest, from morning to night, from day to day, taken up with their little loves and hates, at the mercy of the moment, feeling neither melancholy nor satiety. Man cannot see them without regret, for even in the pride of his humanity he looks enviously on the beast's happiness. He wishes simply to live without satiety or pain, like the beast; yet it is all in vain, for he will not change places with it. He may ask the beast—"Why do you look at me and not speak to me of your happiness?" The beast wants to answer—"Because I always forget what I wished to say": but he forgets this answer too, and is silent; and the man is left to wonder.
He wonders also about himself, that he cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he run, that chain runs with him. It is matter for wonder: the moment, that is here and gone, that was nothing before and nothing after, returns like a spectre to trouble the quiet of a later moment. A leaf is continually dropping out of the volume of time and fluttering away and suddenly it flutters back into the man's lap. Then he says, "I remember . . . ," and envies the beast, that forgets at once, and sees every moment really die, sink into night and mist, extinguished for ever. The beast lives unhistorically; for it "goes into" the present, like a number, without leaving any curious remainder. It cannot dissimulate, it conceals nothing; at every moment it seems what it actually is, and thus can be nothing that is not honest. But man is always resisting the great and continually increasing weight of the past; it presses him down, and bows his shoulders; he travels with a dark invisible burden that he can plausibly disown, and is only too glad to disown in converse with his fellows—in order to excite their envy. And so it hurts him, like the thought of a lost Paradise, to see a herd grazing, or, nearer still, a child, that has nothing yet of the past to disown, and plays in a happy blindness between the walls of the past and the future. And yet its play must be disturbed, and only too soon will it be summoned from its little kingdom of oblivion. Then it learns to understand the words "once upon a time," the "open sesame" that lets in battle, suffering and weariness on mankind, and reminds them what their existence really is, an imperfect tense that never becomes a present. And when death brings at last the desired forgetfulness, it abolishes life and being together, and sets the seal on the knowledge that "being" is merely a continual "has been," a thing that lives by denying and destroying and contradicting itself.
If happiness and the chase for new happiness keep alive in any sense the will to live, no philosophy has perhaps more truth than the cynic's: for the beast's happine.

Multicultural and Social Justice
Counseling Competencies:
Guidelines for the Counseling Profession
Manivong J. Ratts, Anneliese A. Singh, Sylvia Nassar-McMillan,
S. Kent Butler, and Julian Rafferty McCullough
In 2014, the Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development (AMCD)
appointed a committee to revise the Multicultural Counseling Competencies
developed by Sue, Arredondo, and McDavis in 1992 and operationalized by
Arredondo et al. in 1996. This article reflects the updated competencies, titled
the Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies (MSJCC; Ratts,
Singh, Nassar-McMillan, Butler, & McCullough, 2015a), which were endorsed by
AMCD on June 29, 2015, and by the American Counseling Association on July
20, 2015. A conceptual framework of the MSJCC visually depicts the relationships
among the competencies’ key constructs: multicultural and social justice praxis,
quadrants, domains, and competencies. Implications are discussed.
Keywords: multicultural, social justice, competencies, counseling, advocacy

The Multicultural Counseling Competencies (MCC) developed by Sue, Arredondo, and McDavis (1992) have been instrumental in helping counselors, psychologists, and other mental health professionals ad-

their emergence and recognition, multicultural perspectives have become
embedded into many aspects of the counseling profession (Erickson Cornish,

CHAPTER 4: THE CARBON FOOTPRINT CONTROVERSY
What is the carbon footprint controversy?
Nearly all humans consume meat, dairy, and egg products in some form. In recent years the
e i me al m eme ha ed he ece i f ed ci g e ca b f i . Ca e
reduce our footprint without changing our diet? Much controversy surrounds that question. One
very extreme view on the political-left is below.
But when it comes to bad for the environment, nothing literally compares with eating meat. The business of raising
animals for food causes about 40 percent more global warming than all cars, trucks, and planes combined. If you care
about the planet, it's actually better to eat a salad in a Hummer than a cheeseburger in a Prius.
Bill Maher, host of HBO talk show Real Time with Bill Maher, writing in the Huffington Post in 2009. Accessed April 25,
2013 at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bill-maher/new-rule-a-hole-in-one-sh_b_259281.html.
The last decade has seen a movement advocating a vegan diet in order to reduce carbon emissions,
and in some respects the argument is logical. After all, it takes about 3.388 lbs of corn (and many
other inputs) to produce a single pound of retail beef, making meat seem relatively inefficient to
grains, thus leading to a larger carbon footprint.134 So common is this notion that some schools
e c age Mea le M da for the sake of the environment. The Meatless Monday movement
has even been adopted by the Norwegian military.135 Moreover, there is some scientific research
showing that vegan (and vegetarian) diets do result in a smaller carbon footprint.136
When dealing with issues as big as global warming i ea feel hel le , like he e li le e ca d make a
diffe e ce B he mall cha ge e make e e da ca ha e a eme d im ac . Tha h his Meatless Monday
resolution is important. Together we can better our health, the animals and the environment, one plate at a time.
Los Angeles Councilmember Ed Reyes, co-author of a Meatless Monday resolution in 2012.137
However, equally prestigious research shows that vegan diets can result in a higher carbon
footprint.138 How can this be? One reason is that some carbon footprint estimates are wrong, or
rather, interpreted incorrectly. The idea of livestock production being a large carbon emitter began
with a report by the United Nations (UN) suggesting that livestock contributes 18% f he ld
carbon footprint, more than the transportation sector,139 thus giving Bill Maher reason to point the
blame at burgers instead of Hummers.
It turns out that this 18% is fraught with errors, a lea , d e e e e c di i i he U.S.
For instance, the UN did not account for the carbon emissions involved in making the inputs used
in the transportation sector, but they did for livestock. This would be like saying the production of
tires has zero carbon emissions but the production of corn does. Also, that 18% makes a number of
contestable assumptions, especially regardi.

Megaregion Planning
and High-Speed Rail
Petra Todorovich
c h a p t e r 2 4
?
On April 16, 2009, President Obama stood before an audience at the Eisenhower
Executive Office Building and made an announcement that signaled a new era of
passenger rail in the United States. Months before, the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA) had provided $8 billion for a new program at the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to issue competitive grants to states to
make capital investments in high-speed and conventional passenger rail. Little did
the president know that providing the single largest boost for intercity rail plan-
ning in this country in a generation had also motivated a sudden and giant leap for-
ward in planning and governing megaregions. Luckily, regional planners had been
studying emerging megaregions for the previous five years, in affiliation with the
New York–based Regional Plan Association’s (RPA) America 2050 program. Again
and again, the planners had identified high-speed rail as the key transportation
investment to serve megaregion economies. But high-speed rail was a distant
dream. That all changed with the passage of ARRA at the nadir of the Great
Recession. Now a federal program exists to support high-speed rail planning
and implementation. Making that program a success will largely depend on the
ability of multiple actors at the local, regional, state, and binational levels to come
together as megaregions to coordinate and leverage federal rail investments.
Revisiting Megalopolis: RPA Resurrects
the Megaregion Idea
As if planning for the Tri-State New York metropolitan region was not sufficiently
complicated, in 2005 the Regional Plan Association launched a national program
called America 2050 that focused on the emergence of a new urban scale: the
megaregion. This was not actually a new concept for RPA. In 1967 a volume of the
Second Regional Plan documented the emergence of “The Atlantic Urban Region,”
an urban chain stretching 460 miles from Maine to Virginia (Regional Plan
