The document describes a survey research project conducted by Professor James Davenport that aimed to identify college students' perceptions of political issues in the United States. The survey was administered to over 300 students across three institutions and covered topics like ideological frameworks, views on specific issues, and demographics. Key findings included that most students identified as liberal or conservative, supported same-sex marriage and abortion rights, and held mixed views on economic issues and the role of government.
Violence against women and gender equality in the philippines: Are they related?Jabin Deguma
The Philippine Commission on Women furthered campaign in promoting gender equality in the Philippines which has been a socio-cultural issue over the past years. The strict implementation of the law may have caused Filipino women to speak up and report abuses against them. The study determined the model for the trends, a sample forecast for the next 10 years, and relatedness of the reported crime of violence against women and the Gender Gap Index (GGI) in the Philippines. It retrieved data from the reports of the Philippines Statistics Authority and of the World Economic Forum from 2006 to 2017 through data mining. This
study employed descriptive methods via time trend analyses using Minitab and Symbolic Regression using Eureqa Pro. Using time trend analysis, the reported cases of violence
against women fits the Quadratic Trend Model (MAD=1968) while the quality of gender equality in the Philippines fits the Linear Trend Model (MAD=0.00306). Both reports are
forecasted to be increasing for the next 10 years. The symbolic regression analysis provided a forecasted relatedness of the reported cases of violence against women (R=0.9958,
R2=0.9911, MAE=0.00067) to GGI. The reported cases of violence against women have a 73% positive association of increasing GGI. Such disclosure supports the necessity of
pragmatically real social action from governmental and non-governmental organizations which prevent the occurrence of the crime of violence against women in the future and increase
gender equality to promote social welfare as part of the sustainable development goals.

This power-point analyses the Indian government and Sri Lankan's plans and budgets from a gender and equity lens. It argues that they are not gender and diversity transformative, do not focus on strengthening services for 'care' and engaging with men and boys on masculinities. Neither are budgets responsive to gender and diversity concerns. Finally, the paradigm of development is not consistent with gender and social equity
Since its endorsement in 1995, the level of the adoption of gender mainstreaming in the leadership positions remains an issue among stakeholders. Lack of women representation in leadership positions has been attributed
How did libraries respond when Swets collapsed so dramatically towards the end of 2014? What were the factors they took into consideration when making decisions about managing their journal portfolio? Looking ahead, how will libraries and consortia manage and administer their collections in the future and what role will agents be expected to play, if any? If you are interested in a glimpse into the future or have thoughts of your own, come and share them with us. As they say in the song: “Through the storm we reach the shore.

The Canadian Cancer Survivor Network (CCSN) conducted a survey in April 2013 the discover the impact that being involved in volunteer advocacy and/or the development of public policy has on cancer patients, survivors, caregivers and family members. 51 people completed the survey. Findings were that patient advocacy generally has a positive impact on the self-image of those doing it, that many volunteer advocates felt better, prouder, more useful, more hopeful, more effective and more powerful. Still others felt less angry, less anxious, and less sad. But some survey respondents did feel sadder, angrier, less hopeful and less content. CCSN recommends that organizations ensure that cancer patients involved in advocacy activities receive skills to help them and support to deal with the often slow-moving and sometimes frustrating healthcare, cancer care and government systems in Canada.

Women's empowerment has become a significant topic of discussion in development and economics. It can also point to approaches regarding other trivialized genders in a particular political or social context. Women's economic empowerment refers to the ability for women to enjoy their rights to control and benefit from resources, assets, income and their own time, as well as the ability to manage risk and improve their economic status and well being. While often interchangeably used, the more comprehensive concept of gender empowerment refers to people of any gender, stressing the distinction between biological sex and gender as a role. It thereby also refers to other marginalized genders in a particular political or social context.
imMEDIAte Justice is a movement to inspire a new, youth-driven media conversation about sex, gender, love and relationships. We are a volunteer-led organization that empowers girls to access truth and create positive sex ed films in a supportive, feminist workshop space. imMEDIAte Justice provides girls with the close
community, resources, and training they need to become powerful storytellers and changemakers. Our IMJ Summer Camps create empowered female filmmakers who are writing their own narratives, informing their peers, and changing the face of global media and current sex ed.

1- Analyze the ethical implications of a community health initiative to decrease the rate of teenage pregnancy by means of health education in the public schools. This community takes pride in its schools and is comprised of multiple ethnic, immigrant, religious and social groups. Use the following ethical principles in your analysis: autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence and justice.
Egalitarian
• The view that everyone is entitled to equal rights and equal treatment. Ideally, each person has an equal share of the goods of society, and it is the role of government to ensure that this happens. The government has the authority to redistribute wealth if necessary to ensure equal treatment. Thus egalitarians support welfare rights—that is, the right to receive certain social goods necessary to satisfy basic needs. These include adequate food, housing, education, and police and fire protection. Both practical and theoretical weaknesses are inherent in egalitarianism.
Libertarian
• The libertarian view of justice advocates for social and economic liberty. While egalitarianism lacks incentives for individuals, libertarianism emphasizes the contribution and merit of individuals (Beauchamp & Childress, 2013).
• Limited role of government
Liberal democratic
Attempts to develop a theory that values both liberty and equality
• Based on Rawl’s Theory of Justice and the “veil of ignorance.” Behind this veil, people (or their representatives) are unaware of social position, race, culture, doctrine, sex, endowments, or any other distinguishing circumstances (Rawls, 2001). This is known as the original position and is an exercise to address the inequalities and bargaining advantages that result from birth, natural endowments, and historical circumstances. Without these inequalities, all people are free and equal and can work together as citizens to decide what is fair and therefore just. Once impartiality is guaranteed, Rawls suggests all rational people will choose a system of justice containing the following two principles:
• Each person has the same claim to a fully adequate scheme of equal basic liberties, and this scheme is compatible with the same scheme of liberties for all.
• Social and economic inequalities are to satisfy two conditions: first, they are to be attached to offices and positions open all under conditions of fair equality of opportunity; and second, they are to be to the greatest benefit to the least advantaged members of society (the difference principle).
Box 7.2
Ethical Principles
Respect for autonomy: Based on human dignity and respect for individuals, autonomy requires that individuals be permitted to choose those actions and goals that fulfill their life plans unless those choices result in harm to another.
Nonmaleficence: Nonmaleficence requires that we do no harm. It is impossible to avoid harm entirely, but t ...

41. Preliminary Conclusions
Entry-level college students are not familiar with the
meanings attached to current ideological labels
Self-labels do not match ideological statements
Large plurality of each ideological label concentrated in the
modern “liberal” ideology statement
Communitarians and conservatives did not select either
statement that reflects the current understanding of those
labels
Second largest plurality was centered in the “libertarian”
ideological statement
Definitions of “Freedom,” “Equality,” and ‘Social Justice” do not
reflect the intellectual divisions that have developed between the
various ideological perspectives
Majority of ‘liberals” still identify with a definition of freedom that has
been somewhat rejected by the thought leaders within that
ideological framework
Communitarians equally divided among all three definitions of
freedom
42. Preliminary Conclusions
Entry-level college students do not appear to identify
the connections between issues/questions
Over 60% said they want “some level of government” to provide a
living wage, but only 22% selected the option for a “guaranteed
minimum income.”
Over 77% said they want “some level of government” to provide
health care, but less than 30% said that health care should be
provided by the government so it will be more “affordable,
accessible, and higher quality.”
Over 49% said economic growth benefits the most people when
there are few regulations on business or individual exchanges, but
only 18% said capitalism “should be interfered with as little as
possible.”
Just below 35% said “the percentage of income tax paid should be
the same regardless of household income,” but 41% said they
would prefer a tax system in which all taxpayers pay the same
percentage in taxes.”
43. Preliminary Conclusions
Further investigation is necessary
Project is only 50% complete
Responses from UCO may change overall results – comparison
between entry-level students at a 4-year institution and 2-year
institutions will be important to note
Follow-up research
Identify what drives the ideological self-identification of
students
What creates the apparent disconnect between answers to
similar questions
Exploring the student understandings of various definitions
and those understandings’ impact on student responses to
various policy questions
