Assessment 4
Create a 15-20-slide presentation or a 15-20-minute speech on either same-sex marriage or immigration policy.
Note: You must complete this assessment before starting on Assessment 5.
Many of the current political, legal, and social debates in U.S. society concern diversity and its related issues. Two of those debates have centered on immigration policy and same-sex marriage. These debates involve not only arguments regarding discriminatory treatment of particular ethnic groups or sexual minorities but also legal, economic, and religious questions and concerns.
In this assessment, you apply the sociological perspective to one of these debates. You research the political players and key arguments on the different sides of your chosen controversy, and you place them in historical and contemporary context to gain a deeper understanding of the causes and consequences of the debate, and current and proposed policy solutions. Understanding the key developments and policy changes that pertain to your debate puts you in a position in which you can more accurately evaluate the merits of arguments made by politicians, leaders, and others with a stake in shaping future po ...

CILIP Cymru Wales Conference 2019: Lessons from 15 Years of Collaboration bet...CILIP
Dr Stephen Thornton's presentation:
This paper will explore aspects of a fifteen year collaboration between the Department of Politics at Cardiff University (latterly, the Department of Politics and International Relations) and Cardiff University Libraries to encourage awareness of information literacy amongst students (and staff). This will include drawing connections between the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) subject benchmark statements for Politics and IR and competencies identified in a widely recognised information literacy framework. At the heart of this paper will be a comparison between the results of two surveys - one from 2009 and another from 2017 - designed to explore students' information behaviours on entering university.

Discussion 1
Choose ONE of the following questions to answer in the Discussion Board:
1. Review Figure 1.3, "Individualism as a value in the United States compared to other democracies." Why do you believe people in America respond so differently to this question than do people in other, Western European, countries?
2. After reading the text in the box, "The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same: The Continuing Call to the Federalist Papers" in Chapter 2, do you believe the Federalist Papers are still relevant for understanding the U.S. Constitution?
3. The Bill of Rights was intended to protect certain fundamental rights for all citizens against actions of the national government. Should the U.S. Constitution provide the same protections for all citizens against actions of state governments, or should it be up to each state whether to protect fundamental rights for citizens within the state?
Discussion 2
Choose ONE of the following questions to answer in the Discussion Board:
1. Review Figure 6.1, "Confidence in Congress." Why do you believe Congress receives such a low confidence rating?

Choose ONE of the following questions to answer in the Discussion Board:
1. In Table 7.1, the authors provide a list of the 10 greatest Presidents of all time, according to two separate polls by historians (in 2005 and 2009). What criteria, or methodology, do you feel should be used when making this type of assessment?
2. Review the text box in Chapter 7, "The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same: Foreign Policy Successes That Boosted Young President." Do you believe the President's foreign policy powers should be dominant and he should have exclusive control over foreign relations, or do you believe Congress should play more of a role in these affairs?
3. Understanding the manner in which cabinet appointees are selected and the role that they serve, do you believe that they should primarily support and advocate for the policy positions of the President, or do you think that they should have more independence in expressing their opinions and making decisions regarding their department?
Discussion 4

Paul Johnson, A History of the American People (1997).
Richard Hofstadter, The American Political Tradition (1948).
Course Description:
This course analyzes the development of the United States from Reconstruction to the present. Although an accurate factual understanding of each era in American history is crucial, this course is primarily about interpreting what the facts mean. The purpose of this class is for students to see a subject (like history) from as many different angles as possible. Students will see how different historians marshal similar facts in different ways in order to persuade readers that a particular interpretation superior. Students will learn to think analytically and critically about each interpretation so that students can decide for themselves which interpretation is more accurate.
Course Objectives (Student Learning Outcomes):
This course will help transform students into lifelong learners who independently read and research, and who think objectively, critically and analytically. The course promotes global awareness and fosters oral and written communication skills. Students will learn to compose essays that demonstrate college level research and writing in an organized, logical, persuasive, and grammatically correct manner. The essays will state theses supported by evidence, critically analyzing and evaluating differing interpretations of Modern American history. By the end of this course students should be able to describe the broad sweep of historical trends throughout American history from Reconstruction to the present, show basic competence in historiography, and understand the complex intertwining of socio-cultural, economic, and political trends in modern American history.
Course Requirements:
1) Class participation. Students must participate in this class. Proper participation requires preparing for each class by reading and preparing typed answers to the study questions in advance of each session (political science students must brief each of the assigned cases), asking the professor questions about the reading, study questions, and lectures, and responding to the professor’s questions. You should always stay one section ahead of the topic we are discussing in class so that you are prepared when we begin discussing the next section. In order to make sure you are prepared to ask questions in class, you should have at least 5 questions about the reading, lectures, or topic of the day typed out in advance and ready to turn in if requested by the professor. There may also be short in class or out of class written assignm ...
Sixth Form students Jess, Chris, and Sam offer five reasons why they believe every teenager should study Level Politics. Government and Politics is a fantastic A Level that has shown us just how great an influence Politics has on us and has broken the illusion that we are disconnected from it.
Recent months have seen the Scottish Independence referendum, attacks on free speech in Paris, and the General Election in May is now on the horizon. Aside from the huge benefits that this course brings with it in terms of an understanding of events that are happening around us, Wajid khan discusses our Top 5 Reasons to study Politics:
1. Politics Helps You to Know Your Rights
The course has allowed us to see beyond our initial belief that we have no real say in the running of our country. It enlightens us about the fundamental parts of our society and gives every individual the opportunity to change the world if we participate in the political process and use the pressure points built into the system. Wajid khan Mp admits that It helped him understand what I have.
2. Politics makes it clear what you believe
Researching what we have studied has allowed us to discover our political beliefs and look more closely inside and outside the wide range of political ideologies in today's world. Expressing our ideas accurately and succinctly is incredibly beneficial and empowers you to take yourself seriously.
3. Politics is a living, breathing subject
A political textbook becomes obsolete the day it is published. The political landscape is changing daily, so new examples are constantly appearing in the media. Wajid khan Mp suggests Choosing a model to answer an essay question is very exciting because your answer may show what happened on the day you took your A-level exam.
4. Politics helps us understand the political parties in our country
In just one semester, I got to know democracy and our rights, ideology, party politics, constitution, and parliament. The knowledge gained from the lessons allows us to observe events unfolding around the world, see the reactions of our leaders to those events, and use those reactions as a demonstration of what we have learned.
5. Politics Prepares You for Adult Life
The world of British politics really opens up to teenagers after our eighteenth birthdays, with the vote giving us the ability to change our nation and allow the principles we hold dear to thrive. With this in mind, it could easily be said that Government and Politics is the most applicable subject on offer at any school, and is a subject that people should be encouraged to take due to nothing less than the way it prepares you for entering the adult world.
Learning goals.
The Department of Political Science has two main learning objectives for him. Canadian politician Wajid khan describes different stages. The first is the acquisition of specialized knowledge in the field of political science. The second is the development of comprehensive skills that wi

Teaching Math and Science Multiculturally
EDF 2085
Prof. Mukherjee
Figure It Out!
Why Teach Math/Science?
Multicultural Answers:
Use knowledge to make the world a better place
Teach basic, functional skills as well as important themes like conservation; health; wealth distribution; voting…
Research has demonstrated male dominance and cross cultural under-representation in math/ science fields (at both school and societal levels)
Why Math and Science
“Today, I want to argue, the most urgent social issue affecting poor people and people of color is economic access. In today’s world, economic access and full citizenship depend crucially on math and science literacy.”
Bob Moses, Civil Rights Activist and Found of The Algebra Project
Radical Equations: Math Literacy and Civil Rights, p. 5
Indicators of Social Inequity Related to Science & Math Education
Professions that draw highest salaries tend to emphasize math and science
These fields tend to be segregated by race and gender
Patterns of segregation by sex and race can be viewed in patterns of enrollment in math & science in K-12 system
Patterns of racial and gender homogeneity also evident in representation in illustration and content of science & math textbooks
Failure to engage all students undermine their potential and future lifestyles/chances.
What Do We Want To Achieve in Math/ Science Education?
Multicultural Answers:
Critical (reflective) math and science literacy
Access to high levels of math/ science literacy for all students
Understanding how math & science are used in daily contexts
Understanding the political context of math and science (examples: racist theories of intelligence; use of statistics to support diverse positions)
Ensure not only functional levels of science & math literacy, but also CRITICAL science & math literacy
Traditional Answers:
Mastery of selected skills and knowledge of selected “facts”
Stratification of curriculum (tracking)
Content Concerns
Multicultural Answers:
Recognizes that Math and Science are not “culture-free”
Many cultures have contributed to our knowledge of Math and Science
Current uses of mathematics/ science in society (social issues as math/ science problems)
Emphasizes process (DOING a problem), not just product (getting the CORRECT answer)
Traditional Answers:
Claims that Math/ science are “universal”, culture-free subjects
Math and science are “objective” and, therefore, bias-free
Math and science problems have one right answer
Instruction/ Activities
Multicultural Answers:
Learning through meaningful, reality based problem solving activities
Inquiry-based approaches (teaching students to ask questions)
Allowing for mistakes (science as a process of reasoned trial and error)
Multiple learning styles addressed
Interdisciplinary inquiry (link science and math with other subject areas)
Traditional Answers:
Memorization
Learning occurs through repetitive practice (“drill and kill’)
Field independent in.

5 Reasons To Study Politics
Sixth Form students Jess, Chris, and Sam offer five reasons why they believe every teenager should study Level Politics. Government and Politics is a fantastic A Level that has shown us just how great an influence Politics has on us and has broken the illusion that we are disconnected from it.
Recent months have seen the Scottish Independence referendum, attacks on free speech in Paris, and the General Election in May is now on the horizon. Aside from the huge benefits that this course brings with it in terms of an understanding of events that are happening around us, Wajid khan discusses our Top 5 Reasons to study Politics:
1. Politics Helps You to Know Your Rights
The course has allowed us to see beyond our initial belief that we have no real say in the running of our country. It enlightens us about the fundamental parts of our society and gives every individual the opportunity to change the world if we participate in the political process and use the pressure points built into the system.

Research has demonstrated male dominance and cross cultural under-representation in math/ science fields (at both school and societal levels)
Why Math and Science
“Today, I want to argue, the most urgent social issue affecting poor people and people of color is economic access. In today’s world, economic access and full citizenship depend crucially on math and science literacy.”
Bob Moses, Civil Rights Activist and Found of The Algebra Project
Radical Equations: Math Literacy and Civil Rights, p. 5
Indicators of Social Inequity Related to Science & Math Education
Professions that draw highest salaries tend to emphasize math and science
These fields tend to be segregated by race and gender
Patterns of segregation by sex and race can be viewed in patterns of enrollment in math & science in K-12 system
Patterns of racial and gender homogeneity also evident in representation in illustration and content of science & math textbooks
Failure to engage all students undermine their potential and future lifestyles/chances.
What Do We Want To Achieve in Math/ Science Education?
Multicultural Answers:
Critical (reflective) math and science literacy
Access to high levels of math/ science literacy for all students
Understanding how math & science are used in daily contexts
Understanding the political context of math and science (examples: racist theories of intelligence; use of statistics to support diverse positions)
Ensure not only functional levels of science & math literacy, but also CRITICAL science & math literacy
Traditional Answers:
Mastery of selected skills and knowledge of selected “facts”
Stratification of curriculum (tracking)
Content Concerns
Multicultural Answers:
Recognizes that Math and Science are not “culture-free”
Many cultures have contributed to our knowledge of Math and Science
Current uses of mathematics/ science in society (social issues as math/ science problems)
Emphasizes process (DOING a problem), not just product (getting the CORRECT answer)
Traditional Answers:
Claims that Math/ science are “universal”, culture-free subjects
Math and science are “objective” and, therefore, bias-free
Math and science problems have one right answer
Instruction/ Activities
Multicultural Answers:
Learning through meaningful, reality based problem solving activities
Inquiry-based approaches (teaching students to ask questions)
Allowing for mistakes (science as a process of reasoned trial and error)
Multiple learning styles addressed
Interdisciplinary inquiry (link science and math with other subject areas)
Traditional Answers:
Memorization
Learning occurs through repetitive practice (“drill and kill’)
Field independent in.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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.
