Topic Overview
: Considered together, Hurricane Katrina and Covid-19 both produced policy disasters in the United States that were both unnecessary and linked to federalism. These challenges produced by nature raise the question of whether certain disasters are beyond the capacities of state and local government.
Objective
: While watching these films, the central theme to take away from these videos is a better and more comprehensive understanding of Federalism, through real life evidence and explanation. Critically analyze each of the elements and consequences of each different national disaster, based on different level of government’s responses, actions. Leadership, communication processes, and decision-making. Despite, both Hurricane Katrina and Corona Virus being deemed as “national emergencies”, the power organization resulted in vastly different responses by each level of government’s leadership (across all levels: federal, state and local).
Introduction to Federalism:
State and Local governments are the first line responders to crisis. The institutions encompass not only the national government and the American states, each with their own distinctive histories, but extend down to the local level of counties, cities, smaller communities, and special-purpose entities such as school districts. Support and opposition for Federalism rests on government leadership, power, decision-making, and response to national disasters. Response is a geographic and constitutional matter of design. The principles underlying federalism create a power system where multiple levels of government (local, state, and federal) coexist in an organization of power that is both exclusive and shared, depending on the event at hand. Though the federal government has a vital role to play in advancing national priorities through the powers enumerated to it by the U.S. Constitution, our founders recognized long ago that many of the challenges our citizens face can best be addressed at the state level. The Constitution set forth means for strengthening national government’s power, intended to establish a more perfect union (Preamble). Federalism would be the new organization of power, between local, state and federal U.S. government, in order to the remedy weaknesses caused by the Articles of Confederation.
Principles of Federalism
Limited government
States’ rights (10th amendment)
Goals of Federalism:
Foster cooperation
Prevent Federal Intrusion into State
Protect State’s utility as “laboratories” of democracy
Central Themes to Focus on and Think About
comparisons and discussion of struggles between local,
state and federal levels of government according to how federalism has manifested into a power tug-of-war in authority
division of power
division .
Assignment 2 FederalismThe system of federalism was instituted .docxbobbywlane695641
Assignment 2: Federalism
The system of federalism was instituted with the writing and authorization of the Constitution in 1787. In dividing power between states and the national government, federalism has undergone challenges to the placement of power. Should power reside primarily in national or in state government? The Civil War was the most dramatic challenge to the placement of power. Southern states argued, under the leadership of John C. Calhoun, that states’ power superseded national power, while northern states, under the leadership of President Abraham Lincoln, stressed the need for union under the leadership and direction of the national government.
In the more than two hundred years since the Constitution’s adoption, there have been many changes to the meaning of federalism, with power shifting between state and national governments. In the twentieth century, the shifts of power became largely associated with the national government’s ability to provide increased funding sources. With more funding available, the national government has expanded its impact on all areas of state governments. This increased power has had many advocates and many detractors, each with strong justifications.
Research federalism using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Write a paper on federalism. Structure your paper as follows:
Define federalism.
Explain three advantages of federalism.
Explain three disadvantages of federalism.
Identify and describe at least two ways in which American federalism has changed since the ratification of the Constitution.
Discuss one advantage or disadvantage of federalism most relevant to you.
Describe the relationship between contemporary politics and trends in the size and power of the federal government.

With more funding available, the national government has expanded its impact on all areas of state governments. This increased power has had many advocates and many detractors, each with strong justifications.
Research federalism using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Write a paper on federalism. Structure your paper as follows:
Define federalism.
Explain three advantages of federalism.
Explain three disadvantages of federalism.
Identify and describe at least two ways in which American federalism has changed since the ratification of the Constitution.
Discuss one advantage or disadvantage of federalism most relevant to you.
Describe the relationship between contemporary politics and trends in the size and power of the federal government.

Inherent in the concept of citizenship is the exchange wherein citiz.docxJeniceStuckeyoo
Inherent in the concept of citizenship is the exchange wherein citizens give allegiance to a nation and receive protection offered by that nation. Citizens therefore have certain privileges in the eyes of the nation, such as the right to vote, to pay taxes, and to refuse certain actions, such as reciting the Pledge of Allegiance because it refers to God. There are benefits and entitlements that the citizen can demand from the government. These rights are balanced by responsibilities, such as upholding the law, participating in government, and engaging in the same privileges previously mentioned.
In this unit, issues of the middle class, the welfare state, and what constitutes citizenship will be examined based on the concept of citizen rights.

Question 1When it comes to disasters, some contend that governme.docxmakdul
Question 1
When it comes to disasters, some contend that governments still largely play the role of arriving like the cavalry after the fact. Assuming this might be at least partially true, how can emergency management policies (local, state and/or federal) be more proactive? What barriers, if any, to such proposals might exist? (For instance, should local jurisdictions consider additional efforts to regulate building, land-use, development, and other activities that may cause hazards and/or increase risk to members of the community? What lessons should we learn from the flooding that took place in South Carolina in 2015?)
Question 2
Define in your own words the term “benchmarking” used in our textbook and compare it to the terms “lessons learned” or “best practices”, which are often used in emergency management. Include at least one example that you think represents one or more of these terms.
Question 3
Your response to each of the questions below should be at least one brief paragraph.
After reading the South Carolina Public Incident Report, consider how recent large data security breaches affects public administration.
a.) How would you recommend improving policy and practice with regard to information security? (At least one paragraph)
b.) Provide a statement of the problem and at least two recommendations; support your points with additional detail and references (in APA Style). (At least one paragraph)
Question 4 https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/ECFR website to external link
After reading Chapter 11 in the textbook, go to the online Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., which is the compendium of federal agency regulations. Explore to find regulations of one or more of the following agencies. Select one regulation that you think has an impact on or is related to the phases of emergency management. (Click on “Browse parts” links, if needed, to access regulations.) Write a short summary of the purpose of the regulation you chose, including its context (what kind of regulation is it part of and what agency enforces it) and how it is related to or could impact emergency/disaster management at the local or state level; include a citation to the CFR section (for example 9 CFR 56.10).

I choose to look into Brookings from the list that was provided in this week’s forum. Each year Brookings puts out an annual report showing the work that was done, this highlights the impact on world. This lets the donors know where monies has gone and shows the commitment they have to the cause they have.
According to the site Brookings has just launched David M. Rubenstien Fellowship Program, this to help with diversity and scholarly and working with the next generation of those who are creative for the United States and around the world.
The reason why one could trust this company is it is a nonprofit. Some of the things they stand for is diversity, different perspectives, and different experience and this helps with public policy research. They are working with more than 300 scholar and research topic like foreign affairs, economic, governance, metropolitan policy and developments.
This company is governed by a board of trustees and these people come from many different backgrounds as well, this stays within their ideals of what they stand for.
This company is based out Washington, DC and the mission they want to achieve is to always conduct research that is in-depth and correct and help with solving problems that are issues for society for a local level, state, federal, and global.
These are the types of companies that need to be around to help with social issues that are at the forefront of what people are talking about on a daily basis.
This is a good company that one can trust.

Response two PADM-03
Think tanks are utilized to assist policymakers, as well as citizens, by offering various research, analysis, and point of views about certain policy issues. Once policy makers have a better understanding about the problems at hand, they can create more well-informed solutions. Think tanks also give a large variety of opinions and ideologies about a particular subject, which could help examine an issue from multiple angles (Keavney, 2018).
The additional Think Tank I used in my analysis this week is The Heritage Foundation. Here is the link to their discussion on FEMA: https://www.heritage.org/homeland-security/commentary/why-fema-must-be-reformed-disaster-strikes
The Heritage Foundation is a fairly conservative think tank influenced by the conservative agenda, as well as political actors in the form of conservative lawmakers, public officials, and legislatures. In fact, President Donald Trump has, and continues, to use The Heritage Foundation as a resource for his policy recommendations (The Heritage Foundation). Inserra’s (2017) recommendations ...

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
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.
Federal Budget SpeechDo you want to know who you are Don.docxnealwaters20034
Federal Budget Speech
"
Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you
." - Thomas Jefferson
The federal budget spends close to four trillion dollars a year and is split between mandatory spending (what the federal government has to spend due to congressional legislation) and discretionary spending (what the federal government spends as a result of congressional allotment). Roughly speaking, mandatory spending accounts for two-thirds of the federal budget and discretionary spending accounts for one-third of the federal budget.
Every year the executive and legislative branches debate budgetary priorities for the federal bureaucracies such as the Department of Defense, the Pentagon, the Environmental Protection Agency, Veteran Affairs, the Department of Education, and others. Many of these debates occur within congressional committee meetings as members of Congress, federal employees, outside interests, and individual citizens articulate funding requests.
For the Unit 9 Assignment you will compose a speech advocating why your chosen department, administration, or agency within the federal bureaucracy should receive additional funding.
Because the “world is a stage,” let us establish the setting, plot, and the ensuing action for your speech.
Setting:
Exterior: Washington D.C. State Capitol Building.
Interior: Room 221B. Congressional Hearing Room.
Plot:
Imagine that you are in a cavernous room. You sit before a large table facing twenty one senators from the Budget Committee. Photographers, more than you can imagine, squeeze between the space that separates you from the members of Congress. Behind you in the gallery, public policy wonks and regular citizens sit, awaiting your presentation.
You are a featured speaker from a citizen group that advocates a particular public policy funding concern for your federal department, administration, or agency. Prior to the meeting you have already read the president’s proposed federal budget for the upcoming year from the
Office of Management and Budget
and you have some budgetary concerns. You read in alarm how the upcoming federal budget request from the White House reduces funding for your federal department, administration, or agency. But, as you know, it is up to Congress to fund the executive bureaucracy. The executive branch requests funding and the legislative branch allocates funding. This is your chance to request more funding for your federal department, administration, or agency of choice.
Action:
Equally eager and nervous you stand in front of a lectern. “Now,” you think, “now I am ready…” You click on the microphone, examine your prepared speech about your funding request, and you begin to speak with eloquence and passion!
Directions
: Compose a 400 word transcript of your public policy speech.
Select a specific example of public policy from one of the following fields:
Economic policy – for example, U.S. budget deficit spending.

Paper 1 and 2 backgroundLet’s begin here with an excerpt from .docxbunyansaturnina
Paper 1 and 2 background
Let’s begin here with an excerpt from Bolman, L. G. & Deal, T. E. (2003). Reframing organizations: artistry, choice, and leadership (3rd ed.). San Francisco: John Wiley. Note the assumptions of the Political Frame, as you will use these to guide the writing of your Case:
Assumptions of the Political Frame
The political frame views organizations as living, screaming political arenas that host a complex web of individual and group interests. Five propositions summarize the perspective:
1. Organizations are coalitions of diverse individuals and interest groups.
2. There are enduring differences among coalition members in values, beliefs, information, interests, and perceptions of reality.
3. Most important decisions involve allocating scarce resources—who gets what.
4. Scarce resources and enduring differences make conflict central to organizational dynamics and underline power as the most important asset.
5. Goals and decisions emerge from bargaining, negotiation, and jockeying for position among competing stakeholders.
All five propositions of the political frame came to the fore in the Challenger incident:
1. Organizations are coalitions. NASA did not run the space shuttle program in isolation. The agency was part of a complex coalition including contractors, Congress, the White House, the military, the media—even the American public. Consider, for example, why Christa McAuliffe–was aboard. Her expertise as a social science teacher was not critical to the mission. But the American public was bored with white male pilots in space. Human interest was good for both NASA and Congress; it built public support for the space program. McAuliffe's participation was a magnet for the media because it made for a great human interest story. Three years earlier, Sally Ride generated excitement as the first female astronaut. Now the idea of putting an ordinary citizen in space—especially a teacher—caught the public's imagination. Symbolically, Christa McAuliffe represented all Americans. Everyone flew with her.
2. There are enduring differences among coalition members. NASA's hunger for funding competed with the public's interest in lower taxes. Astronauts' concerns about safety were at odds with pressures on NASA and its contractors to maintain an ambitious flight schedule.
3. Important decisions involve allocating scarce resources. On the eve of the Challenger launch, key parties struggled to balance conflicting pressures. Everyone from Pres. Ronald Reagan to the average citizen was waiting for the first teacher to fly in space. Higher safety carried a high price—not just money, but further erosion of support from key constituents for both Morton Thiokol and NASA. Survivor, a pioneer of "reality" television, guaranteed political infighting because the rules allowed for only one winner.
4. Scarce resources and enduring differences make conflict central and power the most important asset. The teleconference on the eve of the launch.
Week 2 - Discussion 1Policy-making in the Federal System.docxmelbruce90096
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.

“Dr. Amoroso’s fi fth book Cyber Attacks: Protecting National Infrastructure outlines the chal-
lenges of protecting our nation’s infrastructure from cyber attack using security techniques
established to protect much smaller and less complex environments. He proposes a brand
new type of national infrastructure protection methodology and outlines a strategy presented
as a series of ten basic design and operations principles ranging from deception to response.
The bulk of the text covers each of these principles in technical detail. While several of these
principles would be daunting to implement and practice they provide the fi rst clear and con-
cise framework for discussion of this critical challenge. This text is thought-provoking and

The system of federalism was instituted with the writing and autho.docxsarah98765
The system of federalism was instituted with the writing and authorization of the Constitution in 1787. In dividing power between states and the national government, federalism has undergone challenges to the placement of power. Should power reside primarily in national or in state government? The Civil War was the most dramatic challenge to the placement of power. Southern states argued, under the leadership of John C. Calhoun, that states’ power superseded national power, while northern states, under the leadership of President Abraham Lincoln, stressed the need for union under the leadership and direction of the national government.
In the more than two hundred years since the Constitution’s adoption, there have been many changes to the meaning of federalism, with power shifting between state and national governments. In the twentieth century, the shifts of power became largely associated with the national government’s ability to provide increased funding sources. With more funding available, the national government has expanded its impact on all areas of state governments. This increased power has had many advocates and many detractors, each with strong justifications.

I choose to look into Brookings from the list that was provided in this week’s forum. Each year Brookings puts out an annual report showing the work that was done, this highlights the impact on world. This lets the donors know where monies has gone and shows the commitment they have to the cause they have.
According to the site Brookings has just launched David M. Rubenstien Fellowship Program, this to help with diversity and scholarly and working with the next generation of those who are creative for the United States and around the world.
The reason why one could trust this company is it is a nonprofit. Some of the things they stand for is diversity, different perspectives, and different experience and this helps with public policy research. They are working with more than 300 scholar and research topic like foreign affairs, economic, governance, metropolitan policy and developments.
This company is governed by a board of trustees and these people come from many different backgrounds as well, this stays within their ideals of what they stand for.
This company is based out Washington, DC and the mission they want to achieve is to always conduct research that is in-depth and correct and help with solving problems that are issues for society for a local level, state, federal, and global.
These are the types of companies that need to be around to help with social issues that are at the forefront of what people are talking about on a daily basis.
This is a good company that one can trust.

Response two PADM-03
Think tanks are utilized to assist policymakers, as well as citizens, by offering various research, analysis, and point of views about certain policy issues. Once policy makers have a better understanding about the problems at hand, they can create more well-informed solutions. Think tanks also give a large variety of opinions and ideologies about a particular subject, which could help examine an issue from multiple angles (Keavney, 2018).
The additional Think Tank I used in my analysis this week is The Heritage Foundation. Here is the link to their discussion on FEMA: https://www.heritage.org/homeland-security/commentary/why-fema-must-be-reformed-disaster-strikes
The Heritage Foundation is a fairly conservative think tank influenced by the conservative agenda, as well as political actors in the form of conservative lawmakers, public officials, and legislatures. In fact, President Donald Trump has, and continues, to use The Heritage Foundation as a resource for his policy recommendations (The Heritage Foundation). Inserra’s (2017) recommendations ...

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

Prepare:

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.

Federal Budget Speech
"
Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you
." - Thomas Jefferson
The federal budget spends close to four trillion dollars a year and is split between mandatory spending (what the federal government has to spend due to congressional legislation) and discretionary spending (what the federal government spends as a result of congressional allotment). Roughly speaking, mandatory spending accounts for two-thirds of the federal budget and discretionary spending accounts for one-third of the federal budget.
Every year the executive and legislative branches debate budgetary priorities for the federal bureaucracies such as the Department of Defense, the Pentagon, the Environmental Protection Agency, Veteran Affairs, the Department of Education, and others. Many of these debates occur within congressional committee meetings as members of Congress, federal employees, outside interests, and individual citizens articulate funding requests.
For the Unit 9 Assignment you will compose a speech advocating why your chosen department, administration, or agency within the federal bureaucracy should receive additional funding.
Because the “world is a stage,” let us establish the setting, plot, and the ensuing action for your speech.
Setting:
Exterior: Washington D.C. State Capitol Building.
Interior: Room 221B. Congressional Hearing Room.
Plot:
Imagine that you are in a cavernous room. You sit before a large table facing twenty one senators from the Budget Committee. Photographers, more than you can imagine, squeeze between the space that separates you from the members of Congress. Behind you in the gallery, public policy wonks and regular citizens sit, awaiting your presentation.
You are a featured speaker from a citizen group that advocates a particular public policy funding concern for your federal department, administration, or agency. Prior to the meeting you have already read the president’s proposed federal budget for the upcoming year from the
Office of Management and Budget
and you have some budgetary concerns. You read in alarm how the upcoming federal budget request from the White House reduces funding for your federal department, administration, or agency. But, as you know, it is up to Congress to fund the executive bureaucracy. The executive branch requests funding and the legislative branch allocates funding. This is your chance to request more funding for your federal department, administration, or agency of choice.
Action:
Equally eager and nervous you stand in front of a lectern. “Now,” you think, “now I am ready…” You click on the microphone, examine your prepared speech about your funding request, and you begin to speak with eloquence and passion!

Paper 1 and 2 backgroundLet’s begin here with an excerpt from .docxbunyansaturnina
Paper 1 and 2 background
Let’s begin here with an excerpt from Bolman, L. G. & Deal, T. E. (2003). Reframing organizations: artistry, choice, and leadership (3rd ed.). San Francisco: John Wiley. Note the assumptions of the Political Frame, as you will use these to guide the writing of your Case:
Assumptions of the Political Frame
The political frame views organizations as living, screaming political arenas that host a complex web of individual and group interests. Five propositions summarize the perspective:
1. Organizations are coalitions of diverse individuals and interest groups.
2. There are enduring differences among coalition members in values, beliefs, information, interests, and perceptions of reality.
3. Most important decisions involve allocating scarce resources—who gets what.
4. Scarce resources and enduring differences make conflict central to organizational dynamics and underline power as the most important asset.
5. Goals and decisions emerge from bargaining, negotiation, and jockeying for position among competing stakeholders.
All five propositions of the political frame came to the fore in the Challenger incident:
1. Organizations are coalitions. NASA did not run the space shuttle program in isolation. The agency was part of a complex coalition including contractors, Congress, the White House, the military, the media—even the American public. Consider, for example, why Christa McAuliffe–was aboard. Her expertise as a social science teacher was not critical to the mission. But the American public was bored with white male pilots in space. Human interest was good for both NASA and Congress; it built public support for the space program. McAuliffe's participation was a magnet for the media because it made for a great human interest story. Three years earlier, Sally Ride generated excitement as the first female astronaut. Now the idea of putting an ordinary citizen in space—especially a teacher—caught the public's imagination. Symbolically, Christa McAuliffe represented all Americans. Everyone flew with her.
2. There are enduring differences among coalition members. NASA's hunger for funding competed with the public's interest in lower taxes. Astronauts' concerns about safety were at odds with pressures on NASA and its contractors to maintain an ambitious flight schedule.
3. Important decisions involve allocating scarce resources. On the eve of the Challenger launch, key parties struggled to balance conflicting pressures. Everyone from Pres. Ronald Reagan to the average citizen was waiting for the first teacher to fly in space. Higher safety carried a high price—not just money, but further erosion of support from key constituents for both Morton Thiokol and NASA. Survivor, a pioneer of "reality" television, guaranteed political infighting because the rules allowed for only one winner.
4. Scarce resources and enduring differences make conflict central and power the most important asset. The teleconference on the eve of the launch.
Week 2 - Discussion 1Policy-making in the Federal System.docxmelbruce90096
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.

“Dr. Amoroso’s fi fth book Cyber Attacks: Protecting National Infrastructure outlines the chal-
lenges of protecting our nation’s infrastructure from cyber attack using security techniques
established to protect much smaller and less complex environments. He proposes a brand
new type of national infrastructure protection methodology and outlines a strategy presented
as a series of ten basic design and operations principles ranging from deception to response.
The bulk of the text covers each of these principles in technical detail. While several of these
principles would be daunting to implement and practice they provide the fi rst clear and con-

Federalist 51To the People of the State of New YorkHow shall .docxmglenn3
Federalist 51
To the People of the State of New York:
How shall we keep the necessary separation of power among the different parts of government? The only answer that is that the parts themselves keep each other in their proper places.
The separate use of different parts of government is needed to save liberty. As such, each department should have its own powers. The members of different parts should have as little power as possible in selecting members of the other branches. Ideally, this would be happen due to voters elect members of each department separately.
Such a plan would be difficult to carry out, however. Therefore, we must allow certain members of government to be selected by other ways. It would be useful to allow judges to be appointed by other government officials. Judges need special skills, so it is important that they be elected in a way that makes sure that only best candidates are chosen. Also, because judges are selected to the courts for life, they are less likely to be influenced by the men who select them.
"Power Is Divided"
Members of each government branch should be able to keep other parts from overtaking their power. The system should force individuals to defend their branch's powers.
In a perfect world, we would not need such protections. In creating a government that is to be ran by men over men, it must control itself. This can be done by separating and arranging the different offices of government so that each acts as a check on the others.
It is not possible to give to each part an equal ability to protect itself. In republican government, the lawmakers who make up the legislative branch will always have the most power. The cure to this problem is to divide them into two legislative branches. Each branch should be made different by different systems of election and different principles of action. They should be as little connected with each other as possible.
The division of power between the federal government and state governments offers another protection to the people. In the republic of America, power is divided between the states and the federal government. It is then divided again among the branches of each government. Therefore, government power is divided twice and can be controlled.
"To Guard Society"
It is important in a republic to guard society against its rulers. It also must guard one part of the society against the injustice of the other part. Different wants exist in different classes of citizens. If a majority is united by a common interest, the rights of the minority could be hurt.
To defend against this evil, we must make it unlikely that a bad party will gain a majority of support. The people should be broken into many parts, interests and classes of citizens. This will make sure that the rights of individuals, or of the minority, will not be in much danger from the will of the majority. The size of the United States, and the number of people under the same government, offers some prote.

Creating and Capturing Value Through Sustainability
The Sustainable Value Analysis Tool
A new tool helps companies discover opportunities to create and capture value through sustainability.
Miying Yang, Doroteya Vladimirova, and Steve Evans
OVERVIEW: Recent research and practice have shown that business model innovation can be one way to create and
capture new value and drive production and consumption toward sustainability. However, business model tools typically
do not create a space to consider how sustainability concerns may be integrated into the innovation process. To address
this gap, this article describes a tool that can help companies identify new opportunities to create and capture value
through sustainability by analyzing value captured and uncaptured for key stakeholders across the product life cycle.
The Sustainable Value Analysis Tool is shown to help companies recognize value uncaptured and turn it into opportunities;
it facilitates sustainability-focused business model innovation by identifying value uncaptured—and hence, opportunities
for innovation—associated with environmental and social sustainability in production, use, and disposal.
KEYWORDS: Sustainable Value Analysis Tool, Sustainability, Business model innovation, Sustainability-focused innovation
In recent years, as companies have been challenged by
environmental legislation and societal pressures (Elkington
1997), sustainability has become a key factor in long-term
business success. As a result, innovation for sustainability
has received much attention from researchers and practi-
tioners (Nidumolu, Prahalad, and Rangaswami 2009; Boons
et al. 2013). However, although technological approaches to
promote sustainability have been thoroughly investigated
(Camarinha-Matos 2011), comparatively little work has been
done to understand how innovation in business models can
support sustainability across the product life cycle, including
manufacturing, operation, and disposal.
Business model innovation looks at how companies create
and capture value at every stage of a product’s journey to
market. While business model innovation has been the
subject of much discussion and research, very few tools have
been developed to help companies integrate sustainability
into the business model innovation process (Evans et al., in
press). Existing tools for business model innovation either
do not consider sustainability (for instance, Osterwalder
and Pigneur’s [2010] Business Model Canvas) or do not
address all of the elements of the business model (for
example, lifecycle assessment tools [Tukker 2000]). Thus,
sustainability considerations and business model innovation
are often not well integrated, with sustainability being
treated as an add-on rather than as a core source of value.
Considering sustainability in the process of business
model innovation can provide entirely new ways to create .

Hiring tiie Very Best
How to increase your employees' morale and productivity
By Tracy Mullin

I
remember a quote from former ABC execu-
iive Thomas Murphy, who said. "If you hire
the best people and leave them alone, you
don't need to hire very many." While I think re-
tailers should be hiring the best people possible,
and treating them well, it may not always be best
to leave them alone. Especially during the holi-
day season.
With the holidays almost upon us, retailers are
scrambling to hire the best seasonal workers—
more than 520,000 of them—while retaining
their top performers. And during the most cru-
cial selling period of the year, there is no time
for mistakes. Executives know that good em-
ployees ean bolster the image of a store and
unsatisfactory employees can be disastrous.
More often than not. finding good workers is
high on the list of challenges facing retail exec-
utives. And keeping those people is even more
difficult.
Turnover in the retail industry is nothing new,
and it is not a problem that will disappear any-
time soon. After Sept. 11, many retailers experi-
enced low turnover as employees waited for the
job market to improve. Now that the economy is
back on traek, workers are keeping an eye out
for new opportunities, and many are moving on.
Statistics reinforce that theory: According to
the 2005 NRF/Mercer Retailer Compensation
and Benefits survey, released last month, turn-
over for store managers rose 20% last year over
2003.
Leading HR experts seem to agree that tradi-
tional approaches to management haven't been
working. Author Bruce Tulgan. a consultant
who spoke in June at the National Retail Eed-
eration's Loss Prevention Conference, talked
about the mind-set of the new American worker
and said that the best way retailers could keep
their employees was to find out what people
want and use it to drive performance.
Best Buy is one of those retailers. Nearly half
of the 3.500 employees at Best Buy headquarters
have embarked on a radical strategy that enables
employees to work where and when they
as long as their job gets done. The approach
seems to be working, as executives maintain that
this new program has reduced turnover and
increased productivity at the same time.
Other retailers, such as Costco, believe that
the way to their workers" hearts is through their
wallets. Costco's employees earn an average of
$17.41 an hour and receive some of the most
generous health benefits in the industry. Perhaps
that's why they are able to maintain a low
turnover rate of about 17% per yean
However, money isn't everything. In his pre,s-
entation, Tulgan also featured several non-finan-
cial elements, such as people needing to be sat-
isfied with their jobs. One of those basics, giving
employees control over tasks, is an area where
Trader Joe's has an upper hand. Instead of giv-
ing employees.

FEATURED ESSAY
The Ecstatic Edge of Politics: Sociology and Donald Trump
ARLIE RUSSELL HOCHSCHILD
University of California-Berkeley
[email protected]
The day before the Louisiana Republican
primary in March 2016, I watched Donald
Trump’s Boeing 757 descend from the sky
at the Lakefront Airport in New Orleans,
Louisiana. Inside the crowded hangar, Elton
John’s ‘‘Rocket Man’’ was playing. Red,
white, and blue strobe lights roved sideways
and up. Cell phones snapped photos of the
blond-haired candidate as he stood before
thousands waving and shaking signs that
read MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. A
small, wiry man bearing this sign with
both hands, eyes afire, called out to all with-
in earshot, ‘‘To be in the presence of such
a man! To be in the presence of such
a man.’’ There seemed in this man’s call, I
wrote in my field notes—part of a five year
ethnographic study of Tea Party supporters
in Louisiana—a note of reverence, even
ecstasy (Hochschild 2016:224). How do we
understand the states of mind and situations
of those to whom Donald Trump appeals?
How does such emotional appeal work?
Whatever Trump’s future, he has touched
a cultural nerve we sociologists need to
study. In this essay, I explore illuminating
works in and around sociology before ven-
turing an interpretation of my own.
In The Paranoid Style in American Politics,
the historian Richard Hofstadter (1996)
traced the relationship between paranoid
political rhetoric and ‘‘style of mind’’ as
these periodically emerged in the United
States through the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. The leader expressing such a style,
he says, ‘‘does not see social conflict as some-
thing to be mediated and compromised, in
the manner of the working politician. Since
what is at stake is always a conflict between
absolute good and absolute evil, what is nec-
essary is not compromise but the will to fight
things out to a finish. . . . This demand for
total triumph leads to the formulation of
hopelessly unrealistic goals, and since these
goals are not even remotely attainable, fail-
ure constantly heightens the paranoid’s
sense of frustration. Even partial success
leaves him with the same feeling of power-
lessness with which he began, and this in
turn only strengthens his awareness of the
vast and terrifying quality of the enemy he
opposes’’ (p. 31).
Propelling such movements, he argues, is
not just economic deprivation as narrowly
conceived, but the loss of an older America,
inward-turned, Protestant, secure, busy
turning the wheel of a thriving local capital-
ism. As one of the original so-called birthers
(who questioned President Obama’s place of
birth and religion) and as one who has
extended this suspicion to Hillary Clinton’s
religion, Donald Trump fits in Hofstadter’s
‘‘paranoid style.’’ Still, Trump’s appeal
reaches far beyond the style of mind through
which it is expressed.

Abstract
Introduction:
Insulin-dependent patients are individuals with chronic disease who are well adapted to living and dealing with any health needs and fears arising. An important aspect in the process of adaptation to chronic illness is the provision of nursing care in the early stages of the disease, because this contributes to its acceptance and the early identification and management of potential complications.
Purpose:
To investigate the health needs and self-management problems faced by patients with diabetes daily, especially those who use insulin. Furthermore, purpose of this study was to investigate the fears experienced by patients in the early stage of the disease, but also in its subsequent development and to study possible differences between sexes.
Methodology:
This is a qualitative study, using interpretative phenomenological approach. Fifteen (nine women and six men) insulin-dependent patients, recounted their personal fears and their needs, through semi-structured interviews, which took place in Central Greece. The method used for processing the results is the Mayering one.
Results:
The analysis of the narratives showed that patients have a variety of fears and needs associated with the diagnosis, treatment, expected consequences, prognosis and everyday life in the management of the disease. Most patients express the concept of need as desire. Care needs, psychological support and education to recognize and prevent hypoglycemia.
Conclusions:
Insulin-dependent patients express fears and needs in their daily lives. Nurses providing care aimed at enhancing the level of health, while putting self-care information and training them. Patients want the nurse next to them, so that information is continuous and permanent.
Keywords: diabetes mellitus, fears, health needs, self-care, nursing care

1. INTRODUCTION
Patients with type II diabetes, especially insulin-dependent are usually suffering from diabetes several years before the initiation of insulin therapy. Treatment of diabetes has now as a central character, the patient himself who co-decides with the physician-nurse team. The primary concern is the patient’s acceptance of the disease in the early stages and his gradual familiarization with the treatment (1).
According to International Diabetes Federation, at least 285 million people worldwide have diabetes and this number is expected to increase to 438 million by 2030, with two-thirds of all cases living in low or middle income countries (2, 3).
Apart from pharmaceutical care, the nurse also pr.
Featherfall has recently violated several government regulations.docxmglenn3
Featherfall has recently violated several government regulations regarding the current state of its technology and how it is being used. The technology system is vastly out of date, and staff are not always using the technology that is in place or they are using the technology inappropriately. These problems have lost the institution lots of money for not meeting government regulations and have caused operational and ethical problems from inefficient and ineffective use of technology.
The staff at Featherfall are not well-trained on the use of technology and do not communicate appropriately about technology use. The roles that pertinent to your consult are the health information management team, the clinical staff (doctors, nurses, etc.), and administrative staff. The health information management team uses proper coding practices, and the current technology system serves them well, despite its age. However, other roles in the hospital have had issues with the system. Clinical staff, for instance, have had record-keeping issues both due to lack of training on the system and the system itself being out of date. Administrative staff within the organization have taken issue with the lack of communication about the technology and its use between the various roles. When the current technology system was chosen many years ago, the needs of these various roles were not considered.

By Farhad Manjoo
Over the summer, my wife and I traveled with our two young kids on a two-week
vacation through Europe.
It wasn’t as highfalutin as it sounds. In London, our Airbnb had ample skylights —
which rendered the place all but uninhabitable during Europe’s heat wave. In Paris, our
charming home-share had a cavernous hole in the ceiling of the entryway, revealing
load-bearing beams that appeared to have been rotting since Napoleon’s reign. And in
Amsterdam, our Airbnb advertised a kids’ bedroom stocked with toys — but failed to
mention the mosquitoes and mice.
I’m not complaining. If travel mishaps are the stuff of memory, my vacation was
unforgettable. And without home-sharing services like Airbnb, review sites like
TripAdvisor and conveniences like Uber, OpenTable and Expedia, the trip would have
been far more expensive, less accessible and, in a strange way, less authentic.
But my tech-abetted trip was illuminating, too, because it provided a firsthand look into
a vexing problem that has gripped much of Europe lately — the worry of “overtourism,”
and the rising chorus that blames technologies like Airbnb, Uber and other internet-
enabled travel conveniences for the menace.
Every summer, the most popular European destinations get stuffed to the gills with
tourists, who outnumber locals by many multiples, turning hot spots into sweaty, selfie-
stick-clogged, “Disneyfied”towns. They offer a taste of a growing global threat: Across
the world, thanks in part to rising affluence, travel is becoming a more widely shared
pastime. International trips were up 6 percent in the first half of the year, surpassing
experts’ forecasts, according to the United Nations’ World Tourism Organization.
This growth might once have been considered unambiguously good news. But the
world’s most popular destinations cannot expand to accommodate an infinite flood of
visitors. Advocates of curbing tourism say too many visitors are altering the character of
historic cities, and making travel terrible, too.
“It’s a level of tourism which is degrading the enjoyment that residents have, but it’s also
degrading the tourist experience, because the tourist who is endlessly queuing behind
backpacks of hundreds of other tourists is not discovering the real or the authentic
place,” said Justin Francis, the chief executive of Responsible Travel, a company that
arranges “sustainable” travel for customers.
What’s to blame? In addition to broad prosperity, there’s technology, defined very
broadly.
Over the last few decades, innovations in aviation — wider, more e.
FEASIBILITY REPORT1
FEASIBILITY REPORT6
Feasibility Report
MEMO
TO: Manager
FROM:
DATE:
SUBJECT:
This memo is meant for introducing the feasibility report that aims at providing a solution to the cases and nation problems about the cybercrime and the potential proposed solution to curb up the challenge. These feasibilities we are identified by studying various critical factors such as the social effects, legal issues, technical problems, and the economic impact. Therefore, this memo is very vital for an individual to read and understand various aspects.
Feasibility Report
It takes much time in planning and preparing to implement a solution to the major problem in society. During the planning and preparation process, the proposed solution should be tested and determined if it is feasible to provide the solution or not. Cybercrime in united states has been a significant problem and need to be addressed and solution provided to reduce the cybercrime.
One of the proposed solutions to this major problem is providing cybersecurity among very individual. This will enable most of the people to understand and know the importance of cybersecurity and thus leading to the reduction of the negative loses that is caused by the cybercrime in society every year. Another thing that will ensure that the individuals in the nation are protected from the impact of the cybercrime is educating them on ways they can protect themselves over the cybercrime attempts.
This report will majorly focus on looking at the proposed solution provided and determine if the answers are feasible or need some changes. The essential aspects that the story will focus on include the social impact, the economic effect, and other elements which will be determined if it can provide a solution to the problem.
The Social Impact
When looking for a potential solution to be implemented to solve a specific major problem in society, a positive impact is always the main objective. When the proposed solution is applied, such as implementing cybersecurity in the daily lives of the individuals in the society it will bring a lot of positive impacts on them. For instance, when the cybersecurity is made the main focus in the in every place, i.e. schools and workplace, majority of the individuals will be aware of these threats and ways of preventing them from affecting their daily lives. This will also reduce the loss that most of the individuals incur due to the cybercrime and lack of security in their day-to-day business operations (Help Net Security, 2015).
When the cybersecurity is introduced in society It will bring much social impact to the life of the individuals since it will educate people about the dynamic changes that occur in uses of the technology. When this provides a solution to the cybercrime problem in the society, it will be adopted by every nation, and thus the cybercrime problem is reduced and making every country secure and safe from the cybercrime prob.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2.
Coronavirus Pandemic Documentary (Links to an external site.)
Federalism Overview
: Considered together, Hurricane Katrina and Covid-19 both
produced policy disasters in the United States that were both
unnecessary and linked to federalism. These challenges
produced by nature raise the question of whether certain
disasters are beyond the capacities of state and local
government.
Objective
: While watching these films, the central theme to take away
from these videos is a better and more comprehensive
understanding of Federalism, through real life evidence and
explanation. Critically analyze each of the elements and
consequences of each different national disaster, based on
different level of government’s responses, actions. Leadership,
communication processes, and decision-making. Despite, both
Hurricane Katrina and Corona Virus being deemed as “national
emergencies”, the power organization resulted in vastly
3. different responses by each level of government’s leadership
(across all levels: federal, state and local).
Introduction to Federalism:
State and Local governments are the first line responders to
crisis. The institutions encompass not only the national
government and the American states, each with their own
distinctive histories, but extend down to the local level of
counties, cities, smaller communities, and special-purpose
entities such as school districts. Support and opposition for
Federalism rests on government leadership, power, decision-
making, and response to national disasters. Response is a
geographic and constitutional matter of design. The principles
underlying federalism create a power system where multiple
levels of government (local, state, and federal) coexist in an
organization of power that is both exclusive and shared,
depending on the event at hand. Though the federal government
has a vital role to play in advancing national priorities through
the powers enumerated to it by the U.S. Constitution, our
founders recognized long ago that many of the challenges our
citizens face can best be addressed at the state level. The
Constitution set forth means for strengthening national
government’s power, intended to establish a more perfect union
(Preamble). Federalism would be the new organization of
power, between local, state and federal U.S. government, in
order to the remedy weaknesses caused by the Articles of
Confederation.
Principles of Federalism
Limited government
States’ rights (10th amendment)
4. Goals of Federalism:
Foster cooperation
Prevent Federal Intrusion into State
Protect State’s utility as “laboratories” of democracy
Central Themes to Focus on and Think About
comparisons and discussion of struggles between local,
state and federal levels of government according to how
federalism has manifested into a power tug-of-war in authority
division of power
division of duties and responsibilities
division of expectations (citizens)
financial obligations
purpose of a government according to creation and
constitutional existence
communication confusion in expectations
ignorance of rules and exclusionary application
boundaries, overlap, and limitations
5. Hurricane Katrina: The Storm Introduction and Background
The preparations made in advance of the storm. Hurricane
Katrina's impact on the nation. "The Storm" chronicles over 40
years of federal responses to Gulf Coast hurricanes and their
effectiveness. The teaching activities are designed to help
students evaluate how government helps citizens in times of
crisis and examine how prepared students and their communities
are for future natural disasters. Although the program and
featured lesson plan focuses on the impact of Katrina on New
Orleans, it is important to remind students that many
communities on the Gulf Coast were devastated.
Coronavirus: Topic Introduction and Background
The rapid spread of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-
19) across the United States has been met with a decentralized
and piecemeal response led primarily by governors, mayors, and
local health departments. This disjointed response is no
accident. Federalism, or the division of power between a
national government and states, is a fundamental feature of US
public health authority. Current government’s responses are
reactive in the United States, rather than enabling policymakers
to get ahead of the crisis.
Prompt:
Apply what you learn from the video, to discuss key topics and
questions, outlined in the prompt; show case to me what you
learned, explaining how your understanding of the intricacies in
the power distribution that exists under American system of
government, has become enhanced. Focus, on articulating what
you learned, by applying what you saw to address what I have
asked to critically focus on, during your viewing. Use your
voice. I have provided the platform and safe environment for
students to participate in personalized, value added, political
experience, whereby critical examination of current political
6. issues and topics, result in structured and scholarly academic
exchange and debate
.
Identify an example of one goal and an example of one
challenge federalism presented in each event (i.e. one for each
Hurricane Katrina and Coronavirus).Evaluate the evidence to
explain what you perceive to be the challenges of federalism
compared to necessity or benefits of individualized crisis
response. What principle of federalism do you believe to be the
most important to meeting the goals of the United State’s ideals
in democracy, representation, and majority rule.
