POL 201 Week 5 DQ 2 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 as the states, political parties, interest groups, and federal elections. All these features create a vibrant and healthy democracy. Write: In your initial post of at least 200 to 250 words, explain how and why one feature of the U.S. government is the most important for America’s democracy. Choose one feature below to discuss in detail: · Written, detailed, flexible Constitution. · Robust checks and balances. · Explicit separation of powers. · Expansive interaction by different political actors and processes with the federal government. Use real-world examples and details to support your arguments. 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.

Affiliations in our everyday lives play a very crucial role. They serve to satisfy our social needs of being associated with other people and our needs of love. Sages put it that "Blood is thicker than water". A person's relatives serve a great role in their life. These are the people who never leave us in our ups and downs. They indeed are good friends through whom we are bonded by blood. Stanley is a great friend and a brother to me. He is a person of sound character who quickly mingles with anyone in the society. He is down to earth in making and a composed young lad who does not rush to drawing conclusions when challenged by daily circumstances. His charisma culminated with his education moves all and sundry in subscribing to his viewpoints. Whenever there is need for imparting a young mind with information he does so without hesitance.

There will be a “begin” button on the screen allowing students to begin the scenario. Slide 2 Scene 1 Amanda and Dr. Ryan standing in Dr. Ryan’s office. Dr. Ryan: Hello. It’s good to see you again. Last week we saw how the bureaucracy and the judiciary functioned within the federal government. This week, we’ll assess how domestic, foreign, and military policies are integrated. What do you think about these policies, Amanda? Amanda: This is an immensely broad set of subjects, Dr. Ryan, so I hope I can do them justice. Dr. Ryan: Well, Amanda, go ahead and give it your best shot. Amanda: Okay, here I go. I think we could begin by defining institutions as systems that help form a government and make it function. They include the armed forces, the church, the executive office, the bureaucracy, the judiciary, the voting public, the economy, and the political process itself. If institutions are strong and respond to public’s will, then the government will function smoothly. But they could also be extractive. This is when they are used by elites to extract resources for their own benefit. Extractive institutions cause the state to be weak. Slide 3 Interaction Slide This will be a tabbed interaction that outlines ways of changing Social Security policies in the U.S. Social Security could: · Raise the retirement age · Reduce benefits for high earners · Raise taxes · Increase wage cap · Individual Investments Button 1: There are several ways that the government could ensure that Social Security continues to support retirees in the U.S. The first way would be to raise retirement age until 70 years old, so that the long-term funding gap would close. Button 2: The government could also reduce benefits for high earners, by cutting their monthly funds by about ten percent. Button 3: Taxes could be raised from twelve-point-four percent to thirteen-point-four percent, so as to cover the ever-increasing cost of social security. Button 4: Increasing the wage cap would mean that workers would pay Social Security taxes on a greater amount of what they earn. Button 5: Finally, the government could let individuals invest some or all of their Social Security funds into approved, safe mutual funds. Slide 4 Scene 2 Amanda and Dr. Ryan do a visual tour of a museum or historical exhibit in Capitol Hill that showcases the material that is covered. This is sort of a visual tour of Washington D.C. as well as a visual component to the conversation. Dr. Ryan: Institutions can be so weak and corrupt that they can lead to state failure like you see in Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe, and Somalia. Now, can you see how this applies to our own government? Amanda.

The public institutions shape the living standards of the people. When the public institutions are successful the people have high quality services raising their living standards. It is Essential for organizations to identify the public who affect or are affected by the organizations decision. An organization cannot function alone and it requires the support of all the stakeholders. A critical element of developing strategic leadership is the analysis of the stakeholders. It helps to determine how to strengthen the relationship for optimum gain (Joyce & JOYCE, 1999, p. 32). There are two broad types of stakeholders, internal and external stakeholders. Internal stakeholders impact the organizational function from within. For instance, employees and board members are internal stakeholders. External stakeholders influence the organization from without. Examples of external stakeholders are communities and the media. They have a stake in determining the value of the organization. The level of influence, amount of power, level of interest and capabilities of the stakeholders vary (Marr & Creelman, 2011, p. 79). They have strong, moderate or low influence and interests in the organizational function. Some are highly active while others are latent and apathetic. It means that the stakeholders cannot be treated equally in any given project. The have to be classified into different categories through stakeholder analysis. Classifying them helps the organization to develop successful strategies for enhancing the relationships (Joyce & JOYCE, 1999, p. 34). below is a classification of the internal and external stakeholders, the influence/interest grid and stakeholders influence diagram for this project of developing strategic leadership in public institutions.

Political Communication, 30:100–116, 2013 Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC ISSN: 1058-4609 print / 1091-7675 online DOI: 10.1080/10584609.2012.737416 An Experimental Study of Persuasive Social Communication JOHN BARRY RYAN Political discussion is often seen as a potential shortcut to enlightened voting. If unin- formed individuals receive useful information from their discussion partners, then they can make quality decisions at the ballot box without incurring the costs of becoming informed. Discussion partners, however, have biases and these biases are reflected in what they say about candidates. If individuals accept messages from sources with different preferences, they could end up supporting candidates who benefit their discussion partners instead of themselves. This article argues that egos will often accept messages from individuals with an incentive to mislead. Instead of evaluating the messenger, individuals evaluate the messages. When the messages are all in accord, individuals support the candidate suggested by the messages even if the messengers are all biased. This article presents the results of a group-based experiment in which ego networks were exogenously determined by the researcher. In the experiment, egos tend to vote for their party’s candidate, but they defect with greater frequency when they receive messages from members of a different party. This willingness to listen to the other side has detrimental effects for the quality of their decisions. Keywords social networks, correct voting, experiments It may not be polite to discuss politics, but many people constantly talk about politics at home, in their businesses, and while they have an evening out. Many people are talking and on occasion they are persuading others to choose a different candidate. It is well established that discussion can affect how people view candidates and ultimately how people vote (e.g., Berelson, Lazarsfeld, & McPhee, 1954; Huckfeldt & Sprague, 1995). Research also shows that discussion can lead voters to choose candidates who are not from their party (Beck, 2002; Ryan, 2010). This is a curious finding given that individuals should be able to dismiss political messages from individuals who are not likeminded. Individuals who have different political values will view political events differently (Gerber & Green, 1999). This should allow someone to discount the messages sent by a source with divergent preferences, even if one believes the discussion partner is totally sincere in his or her messages.

Nursing research: Generating and assessing evidence for nursing practice (9th ed.). Philidelphia, PA: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins p. 673 A type of mixed studies model is an integrated design (Sandelowski et al., 2007), which can be used when qualitative and quantitative findings in an area of inquiry are perceived as able to confirm, extend, or refute each other. In an integrated design, studies are grouped not by method but by findings viewed as answering the same research question. The analytic approach may involve transforming the findings (qualitizing quantitative findings or quantitizing qualitative findings) to enable them to be combined. A particularly sophisticated variant of this model is to use a Bayesian synthesis, as exemplified in a study in which p. 676 In drawing conclusions about a research synthesis, a major issue concerns the nature of the decisions the researcher made. Sampling decisions, approaches to handling quality of the primary studies, and analytic approaches should be carefully evaluated to assess the soundness of the reviewers’ conclusions. Another aspect, however, is drawing inferences about how you might use the evidence in clinical practice. Examples of critique: Example 1: A Meta-Analysis Study: Meta-analysis of quality-of-life outcomes from physical activity interventions (Conn et al., 2009). Purpose: The purpose of the meta-analysis was to integrate research evidence on the effects of physical activity (PA) on quality of life (QOL) outcomes among adults with chronic illness. Two of the specific research questions addressed were: (a) What is the overall mean difference effect size (ES) in QOL scores between treatment and control subjects after interventions to increase PA? (b) Do the effects of PA interventions on QOL outcomes vary depending on the characteristics of participants, methodology, or interventions? Eligibility Criteria: Criteria for study inclusion were spelled out in Table 1 of the report, together with an explicit rationale for each criterion. A study was included if it examined the effects of a PA intervention on QOL for people with a chronic illness and if it: (a) was an English-language study, (b) was published in a report after 1970, (c) involved a sample of at least 5 subjects, and (d) included measures designed specifically to assess QOL (not, for example, QOLrelated constructs such as mood). Both published and unpublished reports were eligible, and diverse research designs were permitted (not just RCTs). Search Strategy: A reference librarian performed searches, using well-specified search terms, in 11 databases (e.g., MEDLINE, CINAHL, Dissertation Abstracts, Scopus, PsycINFO). The National Institutes of Health database of funded studies was also searched. Ancestry searching was conducted, a.

Policies to Assist Parents with Young Children VO L . 2 1 / N O. 2 / FA L L 2 0 1 1 3 7 Policies to Assist Parents with Young Children Christopher J. Ruhm Summary The struggle to balance work responsibilities with family obligations may be most difficult for working parents of the youngest children, those five and under. Any policy changes designed to ease the difficulties for these families are likely to be controversial, requiring a careful effort to weigh both the costs and benefits of possible interventions while respecting diverse and at times conflicting American values. In this article, Christopher Ruhm looks at two potential interventions—parental leave and early childhood education and care (ECEC)—comparing differences in policies in the United States, Canada, and several European nations and assessing their consequences for important parent and child outcomes. By and large, Canadian and European policies are more generous than those in the United States, with most women eligible for paid maternity leave, which in a few countries can last for three years or more. Many of these countries also provide for paid leave that can be used by either the mother or the father. And in many European countries ECEC programs are nearly universal after the child reaches a certain age. In the United States, parental leave, if it is available, is usually short and unpaid, and ECEC is generally regarded as a private responsibility of parents, although some federal programs help defray costs of care and preschool education. Ruhm notes that research on the effects of differences in policies is not completely conclusive, in part because of the difficulty of isolating consequences of leave and ECEC policies from other influences on employment and children’s outcomes. But, he says, the comparative evidence does suggest desirable directions for future policy in the United States. Policies establishing rights to short parental leaves increase time at home with infants and slightly improve the job continuity of mothers, with small, but positive, long-run consequences for mothers and children. Therefore, Ruhm indicates that moderate extensions of existing U.S. leave entitle- ments (up to several months in duration) make sense. He also suggests that some form of paid leave would facilitate its use, particularly among less advantaged parents, and that efforts to improve the quality of ECEC, while maintaining or enhancing affordability, are desirable. www.futureofchildren.org Christopher J.

There will be a “begin” button on the screen allowing students to begin the scenario. Slide 2 Scene 1 Amanda and Dr. Ryan standing in Dr. Ryan’s office. POL110_9_1_DR-1.mp3: Hello again. It’s good to see you here for the last week of your internship. We only have a few more topics to cover before you’re ready to move on. Last week we examined the role that the president plays in the decisionmaking process. This week we will look at the bureaucracy and the judiciary, two completely different institutions that are absolutely necessary for our democracy to work. What do you think about these institutions, Amanda? POL110_9_1_AI-1.mp3: Well Dr. Ryan, I know some of this from my readings. Unique among other democracies, America’s bureaucracy is distinctive. This is because political authority over it is shared by the executive and legislative branches. This encourages it to play each branch off against the other. Secondly, in the U.S., federal bureaucrats pay other agencies at the state and local levels, as well as business firms and non-profit agencies, to administer government programs. POL110_9_1_DR-2.mp3: Good start. Now let’s look at the bureaucracy’s growth. It began small, of course, but exploded first during World War I from 1917 to 1919. This was because of the role the government took in the post-war growing economy. Then, a little more than a decade later under Roosevelt’s New Deal it became even larger. This was because of the expansion of federal programs like welfare and Social Security. Roosevelt later invoked the income tax policy during World War II and was collecting a huge amount of money by the end of the war. As you can imagine, this required a substantial increase in federal workers to keep track of these revenues. This money was used to start a great many additional programs which, in turn, required more administrators. POL110_9_1_AI-2.mp3: That very interesting! I think that the federal bureaucracy, numbering just about two and one-half million people today, is now at the same level it was in 1955. In fact, it’s shrunk since then, relative to the population of over three hundred million Americans whom it now serves. Slide 3 Interaction Slide This will be an interaction that showcases various facts about the distinctiveness of the American bureaucracy. Button 1: Political authority. Political authority over the bureaucracy is shared between the presidency and Congress. This means that bureaucrats are able to play each branch against the other. In parliamentary governments, like Great Britian, the prime minister and cabinet control the bureaucracy. Button 2: Shared functions. Most federal.

Scene 2 Amanda and Dr. Ryan do a visual tour of a museum or historical exhibit in Capitol Hill that showcases the material that is covered. This is sort of a visual tour of Washington D.C. as well as a visual component to the conversation. Dr. Ryan: Hello Amanda. Good to see you. Last week we examined American political parties and how interest groups affect their behavior. This week we’re going to cover political participation, focusing on the campaign process and the elections they lead to. Before we get started, what are your thoughts about these concepts, Amanda? Amanda: I think it’s important that only in a democratic society would you see campaigns free of violence and elections based on the principle of a one man-one vote system. That’s not to say that we didn’t arrive at this stage without violence, because there are plenty of examples in our history. But we’re there now. Dr. Ryan: Alright then, can you provide some examples? Amanda: Easily. Women didn’t have the right to vote until 1920 and they had to agitate heavily for that against some pretty strong opposition. And blacks were discriminated against at polls throughout the South until the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965. Campaigns and elections are now very civilized affairs. But until the early twentieth century, voter fraud and the intimidation of black voters were common at polling stations, mostly in the South. And telling out lies about one’s opponent was commonplace in campaigns at every level. Dr. Ryan: So what do you think changed? Amanda: I think we became a more sophisticated democracy in the twentieth century. That, and libel laws were more strictly enforced by the courts. Dr. Ryan: Excellent observations. In fact, voters were tired of the free-for-alls that marked the political process up to that point. They demanded more accountability from their elected officials. This made them start promising less and delivering more on the promises they did make. Even now, candidates don’t always fulfill these promises. But at least the voter has made them become more realistic. Amanda: This is why it is so ironic that, as politics has cleaned itself up, voter participation has dropped. Dr. Ryan: Indeed it has. During elections in the nineteenth century and up through the middle of the twentieth century, it was not uncommon to see voter turnouts of seventy to eighty percent. But now that figure has fallen below seventy percent and in some presidential elections, we’re lucky if half of all eligible voters make an appearance. That’s by far .

There will be a “begin” button on the screen allowing students to begin the scenario. Slide 2 Scene 1 Amanda and Dr. Ryan standing in Dr. Ryan’s office. Photos of one or some of these newspaper and radio logos The National Zoo will have a photo of what you’re looking for here. Dr. T: Welcome back, Amanda. Last week we looked at federalism and the states, and this week we will branch off into an entirely new field dealing with the relationship between the media and public opinion in the U.S., focusing on political ideologies. Any initial thoughts about this topic, Amanda? Amanda: This question about the public and the media isa hot-button topic, Dr. Ryan, especially around the time of presidential elections. Conservatives think media like The Washington Post, The New York Times and the Public Broadcasting Service are too liberal, and liberals think that media outlets like The Wall Street Journal, Fox News and Rush Limbaugh are too conservative. And the truth is both sides have a point. All of these outlets have political agendas that they want to get across. Dr. Ryan: But the real question is what, if anything can be done about it? Or, more importantly, should anything be done about it? Amanda: I don’t think so. The federal government isn’t allowed to censor anything unless it deals with national security. So legally, there is nothing standing in the way of a newspaper or commentator from printing or saying anything they want to. Do you know if there are any exceptions at all? Dr. Ryan: Yes, but they are very narrowly defined by the courts. If someone is libeled by a newspaper or slandered by a talk-show host, that’s another matter. The problem is that if the person is an actor or politician, for example, he’s considered a public figure and so it’s extremely difficult for him to win a case in court. Amanda: What effect does this have? Dr. Ryan: As a result, the media gets away with writing or saying some of the most outrageous stuff and it almost never goes to trial. It might rate a retraction or an apology, but that’s about it. That’s why you can be standing in a check-out line and see a front page photograph of Kim Kardashian in TheNational Enquirer, smiling radiantly as she lovingly cradles what looks like a small alligator, with the headline reading, “Isn’t our new baby just beautiful?” Amanda: So…do you think that following these media outlets boils down to an issue of whom to trust? Dr. Ryan: Exactly. If I’m a Republican I’m not going to read a magazine like The New Republic, and if I’m a Democrat, I hardly think I’ll be spending my afternoons listening to Sean Hannity or Oliver North. But if I’m one of these very odd people who has a particular fondness for Kim Kardashian and .

There will be a “begin” button on the screen allowing students to begin the scenario. Slide 2 Scene 1 Amanda and Dr. Ryan standing in Dr. Ryan’s office. Dr. Ryan: Hello, Amanda. Last week we took a close look at the campaign process and the elections they lead to. This week we’re going to examine the role of Congress in the political process. Amanda, can you tell me what comes to mind when you think of the United States Congress? Amanda: Hmm, let me see… The House of Representatives and the Senate are the two chambers that compose Congress. They have been part of our system as long as we have been a country. Although they have always been divided along party lines, they’ve found numerous ways to work together so that public policy can be made. Dr. Ryan: Good point. I’m not so sure that the Senate is the world’s greatest debating body, as it likes to refer to itself. But the Senate and the House do come together to make the kind of policy you referred to, through compromise. It’s important that we remember that. Amanda: But you would never know it with the amount of gridlock that goes on up on Capitol Hill. Dr. Ryan: Right. This is especially true when the president comes from one party and either the Senate or the House is controlled by another. In fact, it’s rare that one party controls all three bodies, making a willingness to compromise that much more important. Amanda: Party polarization, or partisanship, was fairly commonplace up to about 1910. But then Congress pretty much settled down until the 1970s, when party polarization picked up again. Why is that? Dr. Ryan: The war in Vietnam had a lot to do with it. Our minor involvement there began in the late 1950s under Eisenhower, a Republican. But this involvement was expanded enormously under Kennedy and Johnson, both Democrats. The war was finally ended in 1973 under Nixon, another Republican. The civil rights movement also split the parties and even wings within the same parties. Since these rifts have never quite healed, we now have a system that sees partisanship more often than we would like. Amanda: It’sinteresting that there are so many differences between our congressional system and the parliamentary systems that predominate in Europe, Australia and Japan. Dr. Ryan: Yes. In Great Britain’s House of Commons, which equates to our House of Representatives, members are nominated by party leaders after that party has won a general election. But here in the U.S., members of Congress are elected directly by the voters themselves. This means that their allegiance is to the voters and not necessarily to a party. That’s why representatives can get away with voting as their constituents want and not as their party leaders deman.
