Review of Writing Effective Policy Papers Handbook
This handbook is designed to provide support to public policy writing. The audience is policy analysts, academics, and policy advisers. The guide comes along with the series of Open Society Foundation (formerly Open Society Institute) which is an international grant making network founded by George Soros. The guide is divided into 06 chapters thematically arranged as follows:
The definition of public policy community, the policy making process, an overview of the policy paper, the structural and textual elements of policy papers, dissemination of the policy paper and authorship; and concluding remarks along with recommendations.
Undoubtedly, governments and institutions are no longer depending on seating on the pants planning and management but rather they are increasingly moving toward more informed governance by deploying a wide range of resources and methods that aim to involve every related stakeholder to carry out the tasks they were assigned whether explicitly or implicitly. This will certainly make those who are still dependent on the intuition as a primary source of inspiration lag behind. A recent study carried out by Middle East Development Network [MDN] and Sabr Center has shown that 41% of MENA NGO’s have Planning and Decision-Making Support divisions. Reflecting on that, the problems we are facing nowadays are not uni-layered and cannot only be tackled through a mono-disciplinary perspective but they rather have to be dealt with multi disciplinarily mindset so to come up with more sustainable solutions and a genesis of autonomous initiatives.

Growth theory began with Solow (1956) and Swan (1956) formalizing an economic growth framework. Later models endogenized technical progress, including Arrow (1962) on learning by doing, Lucas (1988) on human capital accumulation, and Romer (1990) on R&D-driven innovation. The book provides an overview of these models and extensions, examining issues like the role of public policy, demographics, money, and sustainable development. It aims to demonstrate how growth theory tools can be applied to answer different economic questions.

Discussion Board Example
Groupthink
Definition: Organizational Behavior notes, “Groupthink is the tendency of highly cohesive groups to value consensus at the price of decision quality” (McShane & Von Glinow, 2008, p. 257).
Summary: The article entitled “The Turn to Online Research is Narrowing the Range of Modern Scholarship, a New Study Suggests” written by Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow discusses how the internet has made accessing research and other things on the internet extremely easy. By using search engines this has caused groupthink for many students conducting research. (Instructor Note: This is a shorter summary. Do not feel like you have to limit yourself to this length in the summary section.)
Discussion: The internet has made performing research for students a matter of seconds. Students used to have to go to the library and conduct research out of textbooks and other publications but now by simply typing your subject in a search engine a variety of choices are at your fingertips. “Millions of journal articles are available online, enabling scholars to find material they never would have encountered at their university libraries” (Tuhus-Dubrow). A recent study by James Evans, a sociologist at the University of Chicago, has “determined that as more journal issues came online news papers referenced a relatively smaller pool of articles which tended to be more recent, at the expense of older and more obscure work” (Tuhus-Dubrow).
The internet just like everything else has it costs as well as benefits. ...

kim woods Introduction & Concepts The very idea of the moder.docx
kim woods
Introduction & Concepts:
The very idea of the “modern world” is complex; in fact, it is impossible to describe and fully comprehend the multitude of people, ideas, and events that defined modern world history. But, by channeling this multitude into broad categories and identifying themes or issues that different people, ideas, and events shared in common, we can make sense of an otherwise chaotic mass of information.
One main idea that many people in the modern world embraced was “freedom.” However, different people defined “freedom” in different ways in various times and places. Our job as historians is to understand what freedom meant to people in the past and to describe the ways they sought to gain or keep their liberty—or the ways in which some people or groups restricted the freedom of others. To aid you in this effort, think about the following four types of freedom and how the material from HIS 11 might relate to each one:
Freedom of Action (to do what you want)
Freedom of Conscience (to say or think what you want)
Freedom of Association (to have the friends or allies you want)
Economic Freedom (to choose how you work and what you buy)
Project Assignment:
Your project this semester is to trace the way
one (1)
of these four types of freedom developed, changed, and affected the lives of people and/or the shapes of societies over the span of the modern era. During the semester, you will write a series of essays (one short Response Paper and the Midterm Exam), which will help you develop your ideas about freedom and relate them to different historical examples. The last essay will be a
4-6 page paper
due by 11:59 PM
on December 4 2016
. All essays except the Midterm should be typed, double-spaced, in 12-point Times New Roman font, and turned in through SafeAssign on Blackboard.
Your semester project paper
must
contain the following elements:
A clear and concise thesis statement
Clearly identified sources of information (in footnotes or MLA citations)
Multiple historical examples that support your thesis
Your
thesis
will come from the following process:
Identify
one
of the four (4) types of freedom above that will be the theme of your project. (You will inform me of your choice in your first response paper.)
Choose three (3) major events, subjects, or historical figures covered in the course materials this semester that you think relate to your chosen type of freedom. Each historical example should come from a different one of the ten units listed on the syllabus. In other words,
each example should cover a different place and time
—
do not
draw all of your examples from a single historical period or location.
Select three (3) primary sources from the documents listed on the HIS 11 Syllabus—one related to
each
example you chose above.
Your
thesis
should then address the following questions:
Comparing and contrasting your historical examples and documents, do they show
change
or
continuity

As project work is executed, project managers make certain that quality assurance is performed
activities that are undertaken to ensure that a project uses the processes needed to meet quality requirements. Quality control entails monitoring specific
project results to determine whether they meet relevant quality standards, which have been defined with the project scope.
For example, in IT projects, factors that can negatively affect the likelihood of success may include advances in technology during the project's execution,
infrastructure changes that impact security and data management, or the risks involved in implementing new technology for the first time. There are various
quality control techniques to ensure the project achieves successful outcomes.

The Methodology of the Process Explanation essay.
The process of writing requires proper understanding of the concepts. It is not just an area where any person can decide to focus on without understanding the skill. The instructor has a role of keeping the audience attentive. The first process in writing is the rewriting process. This is a process where the first ideas are written down. It is the preliminary stage of writing. The next step is on providing an outline for the preliminary writing. The third process is on writing a rough draft which will help the audience in understanding the importance of these steps in the writing process. The fourth is doing a revision of the draft, which focuses on looking for any mistakes and correcting them. The last step is editing of the work, which is finalizing on the whole paper, removing any grammatical errors and any mistakes (Lard bucket, 2012).
2.
Culture-this refers to the beliefs, practices, values attitudes and experiences of a group of people who have a common origin or share a geographical background. It describes all aspects of life a group of related individuals.
Social constructions-are the meanings, connotations and notions associated with events, objects or even names of people in an environment. These notions affect people’ s interactions with the objects or participation in events. Social constructions are natural and very acceptable for those using them but have no factual basis on them.
Globalization- is the process of cultural integration among individuals, organizations and nations for the purpose of economic, social and political collaboration. Globalization involves interactions through modern communication technology to create relations across the world. This transforms the world into one small area accessible to all people.
3.
Definitions plays a crucial role in reaching the audience. Definition clarifies some terminologies and enhance the passage of the message to the audience. Definition also increases the meaning of some terms and is used to ensure that the right message is passed to the audience. Definition also helps contextualize some terms and make it more meaningful. A very good article where the definition played a crucial role is an article in the New York Times dated January, 28, 2014 by Thomas B. Edsall entitled Capitalism vs. Democracy.
In this article, the author tries to define Capitalism and Democracy from economic perspective. The author borrowed the definition from French newspaper and claoms that the capital system in the 21
st
century is “a political and theoretical bulldozer.” By using the term political bulldozer, the audience will begin to think deeply about it. They will start to imagine how capital can be a bulldozer and in the process, they will get deeper perspective about what capita.
1.The introduction of new technologies has significantly affected .docx
1.
The introduction of new technologies has significantly affected the social lives of many. These changes, which reflect how people use technology to interact, provide an example of trends that you might examine in your Final Research Paper. For this discussion, identify a significant change that has occurred in the way people communicate and share information, and reflect on the impact this change has had on individuals and society in general today (local and global). Keep in mind that not all social trends affect all groups in society to the same degree. In addition, examine the influence of social media on an individual’s personal and professional pursuits.
2.
The first step in the research process is selecting a topic that is both interesting and manageable. For this discussion, complete the following:
Review the Final Research Paper instructions in Week Five, and identify three potential research topics.
Describe methods that may be helpful in identifying and narrowing your research paper topic.
Examine two scholarly sources that may prove valuable as you seek to defend your claims.
Address why scholarly sources should be used to support your writing on the selected topic.

PR Theory.pdf
The document discusses several key theories and concepts related to public relations. It begins by explaining that early communication theories focused on simple linear models of communication but did not account for human or environmental factors. Later, more complex models incorporated concepts like feedback, gatekeepers, and active receivers. The document then outlines systems theories, which emerged as the dominant framework for public relations research and practice. Specifically, it describes Grunig and Hunt's four models of public relations: press agentry, public information, two-way asymmetric, and two-way symmetric. It explains how Grunig later sought to define "excellence" in public relations by examining different levels - program, departmental, organizational, and economic. Overall, the document

Growth theory began with Solow (1956) and Swan (1956) formalizing an economic growth framework. Later models endogenized technical progress, including Arrow (1962) on learning by doing, Lucas (1988) on human capital accumulation, and Romer (1990) on R&D-driven innovation. The book provides an overview of these models and extensions, examining issues like the role of public policy, demographics, money, and sustainable development. It aims to demonstrate how growth theory tools can be applied to answer different economic questions.

Discussion Board Example
Groupthink
Definition: Organizational Behavior notes, “Groupthink is the tendency of highly cohesive groups to value consensus at the price of decision quality” (McShane & Von Glinow, 2008, p. 257).
Summary: The article entitled “The Turn to Online Research is Narrowing the Range of Modern Scholarship, a New Study Suggests” written by Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow discusses how the internet has made accessing research and other things on the internet extremely easy. By using search engines this has caused groupthink for many students conducting research. (Instructor Note: This is a shorter summary. Do not feel like you have to limit yourself to this length in the summary section.)
Discussion: The internet has made performing research for students a matter of seconds. Students used to have to go to the library and conduct research out of textbooks and other publications but now by simply typing your subject in a search engine a variety of choices are at your fingertips. “Millions of journal articles are available online, enabling scholars to find material they never would have encountered at their university libraries” (Tuhus-Dubrow). A recent study by James Evans, a sociologist at the University of Chicago, has “determined that as more journal issues came online news papers referenced a relatively smaller pool of articles which tended to be more recent, at the expense of older and more obscure work” (Tuhus-Dubrow).
The internet just like everything else has it costs as well as benefits. ...

kim woods Introduction & Concepts The very idea of the moder.docx
kim woods
Introduction & Concepts:
The very idea of the “modern world” is complex; in fact, it is impossible to describe and fully comprehend the multitude of people, ideas, and events that defined modern world history. But, by channeling this multitude into broad categories and identifying themes or issues that different people, ideas, and events shared in common, we can make sense of an otherwise chaotic mass of information.
One main idea that many people in the modern world embraced was “freedom.” However, different people defined “freedom” in different ways in various times and places. Our job as historians is to understand what freedom meant to people in the past and to describe the ways they sought to gain or keep their liberty—or the ways in which some people or groups restricted the freedom of others. To aid you in this effort, think about the following four types of freedom and how the material from HIS 11 might relate to each one:
Freedom of Action (to do what you want)
Freedom of Conscience (to say or think what you want)
Freedom of Association (to have the friends or allies you want)
Economic Freedom (to choose how you work and what you buy)
Project Assignment:
Your project this semester is to trace the way
one (1)
of these four types of freedom developed, changed, and affected the lives of people and/or the shapes of societies over the span of the modern era. During the semester, you will write a series of essays (one short Response Paper and the Midterm Exam), which will help you develop your ideas about freedom and relate them to different historical examples. The last essay will be a
4-6 page paper
due by 11:59 PM
on December 4 2016
. All essays except the Midterm should be typed, double-spaced, in 12-point Times New Roman font, and turned in through SafeAssign on Blackboard.
Your semester project paper
must
contain the following elements:
A clear and concise thesis statement
Clearly identified sources of information (in footnotes or MLA citations)
Multiple historical examples that support your thesis
Your
thesis
will come from the following process:
Identify
one
of the four (4) types of freedom above that will be the theme of your project. (You will inform me of your choice in your first response paper.)
Choose three (3) major events, subjects, or historical figures covered in the course materials this semester that you think relate to your chosen type of freedom. Each historical example should come from a different one of the ten units listed on the syllabus. In other words,
each example should cover a different place and time
—
do not
draw all of your examples from a single historical period or location.
Select three (3) primary sources from the documents listed on the HIS 11 Syllabus—one related to
each
example you chose above.
Your
thesis
should then address the following questions:
Comparing and contrasting your historical examples and documents, do they show
change
or
continuity

As project work is executed, project managers make certain that quality assurance is performed
activities that are undertaken to ensure that a project uses the processes needed to meet quality requirements. Quality control entails monitoring specific
project results to determine whether they meet relevant quality standards, which have been defined with the project scope.
For example, in IT projects, factors that can negatively affect the likelihood of success may include advances in technology during the project's execution,
infrastructure changes that impact security and data management, or the risks involved in implementing new technology for the first time. There are various
quality control techniques to ensure the project achieves successful outcomes.

The Methodology of the Process Explanation essay.
The process of writing requires proper understanding of the concepts. It is not just an area where any person can decide to focus on without understanding the skill. The instructor has a role of keeping the audience attentive. The first process in writing is the rewriting process. This is a process where the first ideas are written down. It is the preliminary stage of writing. The next step is on providing an outline for the preliminary writing. The third process is on writing a rough draft which will help the audience in understanding the importance of these steps in the writing process. The fourth is doing a revision of the draft, which focuses on looking for any mistakes and correcting them. The last step is editing of the work, which is finalizing on the whole paper, removing any grammatical errors and any mistakes (Lard bucket, 2012).
2.
Culture-this refers to the beliefs, practices, values attitudes and experiences of a group of people who have a common origin or share a geographical background. It describes all aspects of life a group of related individuals.
Social constructions-are the meanings, connotations and notions associated with events, objects or even names of people in an environment. These notions affect people’ s interactions with the objects or participation in events. Social constructions are natural and very acceptable for those using them but have no factual basis on them.
Globalization- is the process of cultural integration among individuals, organizations and nations for the purpose of economic, social and political collaboration. Globalization involves interactions through modern communication technology to create relations across the world. This transforms the world into one small area accessible to all people.
3.
Definitions plays a crucial role in reaching the audience. Definition clarifies some terminologies and enhance the passage of the message to the audience. Definition also increases the meaning of some terms and is used to ensure that the right message is passed to the audience. Definition also helps contextualize some terms and make it more meaningful. A very good article where the definition played a crucial role is an article in the New York Times dated January, 28, 2014 by Thomas B. Edsall entitled Capitalism vs. Democracy.
In this article, the author tries to define Capitalism and Democracy from economic perspective. The author borrowed the definition from French newspaper and claoms that the capital system in the 21
st
century is “a political and theoretical bulldozer.” By using the term political bulldozer, the audience will begin to think deeply about it. They will start to imagine how capital can be a bulldozer and in the process, they will get deeper perspective about what capita.
1.The introduction of new technologies has significantly affected .docx
1.
The introduction of new technologies has significantly affected the social lives of many. These changes, which reflect how people use technology to interact, provide an example of trends that you might examine in your Final Research Paper. For this discussion, identify a significant change that has occurred in the way people communicate and share information, and reflect on the impact this change has had on individuals and society in general today (local and global). Keep in mind that not all social trends affect all groups in society to the same degree. In addition, examine the influence of social media on an individual’s personal and professional pursuits.
2.
The first step in the research process is selecting a topic that is both interesting and manageable. For this discussion, complete the following:
Review the Final Research Paper instructions in Week Five, and identify three potential research topics.
Describe methods that may be helpful in identifying and narrowing your research paper topic.
Examine two scholarly sources that may prove valuable as you seek to defend your claims.
Address why scholarly sources should be used to support your writing on the selected topic.

PR Theory.pdf
The document discusses several key theories and concepts related to public relations. It begins by explaining that early communication theories focused on simple linear models of communication but did not account for human or environmental factors. Later, more complex models incorporated concepts like feedback, gatekeepers, and active receivers. The document then outlines systems theories, which emerged as the dominant framework for public relations research and practice. Specifically, it describes Grunig and Hunt's four models of public relations: press agentry, public information, two-way asymmetric, and two-way symmetric. It explains how Grunig later sought to define "excellence" in public relations by examining different levels - program, departmental, organizational, and economic. Overall, the document
