NAACP polling data looks at the impact of the Black vote on the 2012 Presidential Election and targeted issues, political affiliations and civil rights issues.
This document discusses generational politics and voting trends among generations in North Carolina. It finds that millennials are the fastest growing group of registered voters in NC, making up over a quarter of registered voters. However, millennials have lower rates of party affiliation and voter turnout compared to older generations. The document also examines differences in political views and behaviors among generations based on factors like race, location, and news source preferences.
This document discusses generational demographics in North Carolina. It finds that Millennials, born between 1982-2004, make up the largest generation in NC, numbering around 900,000 people. However, Baby Boomers remain the largest adult generation. The document also notes that Millennials are more racially diverse than older generations, and have lower rates of voter registration compared to other adult generations in NC.
Richard Lamb - Measurement, Video Games, and the FutureSeriousGamesAssoc
Presenter: Richard Lamb, Assistant Professor, Washington State University
Measurement in Serious Games (SG) is a problem of fitting the game to the measurement. This approach limits our ability to make use of existing games. Given the cost of game production, this situation produces concerns around resources. This occurs because the games must be adapted for the measurement tool. We are coming at this from the wrong direction. What if we could produce a measurement tool that is flexible enough to examine multiple outcomes, and work across game types? This would allow SGs to reduce cost. This tool is a single unified system that may be used in a wide variety of fields from the military, to education, to medical, to business. My talk will suggest that measurement processes should be developed in such a way to be flexible enough to be used across games and I will provide an example of an existing measurement tool to do this.
Gen Z, those born after 1995, are very different from Millennials in important ways. They grew up during economic turmoil and are more entrepreneurial and financially conscious as a result. They are comfortable with diversity, having grown up in multiracial families with less traditional gender roles. Gen Z are digital natives who are always connected via multiple screens and social media, though they have short attention spans. They communicate visually through images and symbols rather than text. Gen Z are globally aware and concerned about environmental issues.
This document summarizes data showing that women, especially unmarried women and women of color, strongly supported progressive candidates and issues like abortion rights in the 2012 election. It led to victories for Obama and other Democrats in Nevada despite Romney making inroads with other groups. The gender gap was a key factor, with women favoring Democrats by 10-17 points. The document calls for women to remain engaged in advocacy through a Women's Accountability Project that monitors politicians' records and recruits candidates supportive of women's issues.
This document discusses bullying in schools and proposes an anti-bullying policy and engagement. It notes that bullying negatively impacts many students, with 160,000 skipping school due to fear of bullies and 84.3% of LGBT students facing harassment. The document advocates for enumerated (explicitly listing protected groups) anti-bullying policies in Michigan, as current non-enumerated policies have proven ineffective. President Obama is pushing schools to address bullying to continue receiving federal funding. Resources for advocacy and support are provided.
This document discusses bullying in schools and proposes an anti-bullying policy and engagement. It notes that bullying negatively impacts many students, with 160,000 skipping school daily due to fear of bullies and 84.3% of LGBT students facing harassment without adult support. Several students in Michigan have died by suicide due to bullying. While Michigan has a definition of bullying, there is no consistent statewide policy to address it. The document advocates for an enumerated anti-bullying policy requiring community input to effectively address this issue.

The document discusses various forms of discrimination in American society, including those faced by African Americans, Hispanic Americans, women, and in schools. It notes that discrimination often leads to poverty, and poverty then leads to greater need for social programs. Key facts presented include poverty rates and family structures for African Americans, education and income disparities between racial groups, and challenges faced by Hispanic Americans and women in areas like employment and domestic violence.
An executive survey found that 95% of leaders believe diversity and inclusion contributes to innovation. Research shows that for every 10% increase in racial and ethnic diversity on an executive team, earnings rise 0.8%, and companies in the top quartile for diversity are 35% more likely to have above-average financial returns. Millennials consider diversity policies when choosing employers, and they will make up 75% of the global workforce by 2030. Poor diversity initiatives cost U.S. employers $64 billion annually due to employee turnover.
This document discusses income inequality faced by minority communities in California, including Asian Americans. It provides support for SB 1063, which aims to address wage discrimination based on race or ethnicity. Key points made include that while Asian Americans have the highest median income nationally, statistics differ greatly within the ethnic group. For example, Hmong Americans have much lower incomes and higher poverty rates than other groups. The bill would help mitigate negative long-term impacts of income inequality such as increased poverty, health issues, and economic consequences.
This document summarizes data on women's political participation and economic status in North Dakota. It finds that women are underrepresented in political offices, holding only 17% of state legislative seats, and have lower earnings and higher poverty rates than men. Specifically, women in North Dakota earn about 74 cents for every dollar men earn. The document advocates for policies like expanding childcare subsidies and access to preschool and job training to help address these disparities faced by women in the state.
This document discusses the history of and need for constitutional equality and equal rights amendments at the state and federal level. It provides background on past efforts to pass an Equal Rights Amendment to the US Constitution from the 1920s through the 1980s, and reasons it ultimately failed to be ratified. It argues that an Equal Rights Amendment is still necessary to fully guarantee equal rights and prevent rollbacks of progress, given ongoing issues of pay inequality, reproductive healthcare access, and gender violence. Adopting state-level equal rights amendments could help solidify these protections.
This document discusses the history and need for constitutional equality, specifically regarding the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). It provides:
1) A history of women's rights amendments and movements from the 1800s to the present, including the introduction and failed ratification of the ERA.
2) Reasons the ERA is still necessary, such as unequal treatment by courts, lack of protection from rolling back rights, and prevalence of gender violence.
3) Strategies to achieve constitutional equality, including legislative efforts and ballot initiatives in Minnesota as well as national strategies like restarting the ratification process.
The document argues constitutional equality is still needed to guarantee equal treatment and prevent erosion of rights for all citizens regardless
2020 Equal Rights Amendment - Minnesota PresentationERA MN
The document discusses the history and importance of the Equal Rights Amendment in guaranteeing equal rights and protections under the law regardless of sex. It outlines key events like Alice Paul first proposing the ERA in 1923 and the renewed movement in the 1960s-70s. While many states have adopted ERAs, the federal ERA failed to be ratified by the 1982 deadline due to opposition campaigns spreading misinformation. Proponents argue an ERA is still needed to ensure full legal equality and prevent rights from being rolled back.
Economic and Living Conditions: Citizens of Leosotho speakAfrobarometer
Afrobarometer conducted a survey of 1,200 citizens in Lesotho between May 3-31, 2014 to measure attitudes on democracy, governance and other topics. Key findings include:
- Most citizens view their living conditions and the country's economic conditions as bad, though optimism about the future economy has risen.
- Basotho are increasingly concerned about the country's direction.
- While valuing independence, citizens are split on whether regional organizations like SADC help Lesotho.
- Most citizens oppose intervention in Lesotho's politics by neighboring countries despite close ties to South Africa.
The Dream Defenders began in 2012 after the shooting death of Trayvon Martin to protest racial profiling and Florida's Stand Your Ground law. They organized a march from Daytona Beach to Sanford and a 31-day sit-in at the state capitol to demand a review of Stand Your Ground. While George Zimmerman was acquitted, the Dream Defenders continue working to repeal Stand Your Ground and raise awareness of racial disparities in its application through campaigns like #VestOrVote featuring an image of a child in a bulletproof vest. Their goals are to free others like Marissa Alexander and CeCe McDonald who were affected by Stand Your Ground and address police brutality nationwide.
Everyday sexism and gender bias negatively impact women in the workplace, social life, and motherhood. Women are often mistaken for lower level roles, paid less than men for the same work, and face barriers to career advancement. Additionally, motherhood burdens disproportionately fall on women, who may struggle financially or become teenage mothers with little support. These issues stem from deep-rooted stereotypes that undermine women's abilities and contributions.
This document summarizes several issues that disproportionately impact women and girls globally. It discusses that 35% of women experience violence, 38% of female murders are by intimate partners, and over 125 million girls have experienced female genital mutilation. Child marriage affects millions of girls each year and increases health risks. Lack of access to education, economic opportunities, and maternal healthcare also negatively impact women's well-being and ability to reach their full potential. Addressing gender inequality is crucial for improving prospects for women, their families, and societies.
This presentation is a snapshot of the most recent research on women’s rights. Divided into three categories––the Bad, the Ugly, and the Good––it explores women’s global experiences, setbacks, and achievements.
Sexism takes many forms including discriminatory treatment of women, violence against women, and economic disadvantages faced by women. Some key points are:
- Sexism includes prejudicial language that excludes women from certain professions as well as the idea that men are superior.
- Approximately 1.5 million women are raped or physically assaulted by an intimate partner each year in the US.
- Poverty has increasingly become an issue for women, especially those with children, due to factors like divorce and abandonment.
- Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign broke barriers, being the first woman nominated for president by a major party, but she and other female candidates still face sexist attitudes.
In ways good and bad, 2018 was a big year for women. A record-breaking number of women ran for office—and won. Trailblazing women around the world became “the first.” Countries and companies took important steps to support women and families. At the same time, there’s no question that we’re still a long way from equality.
To get a better sense of what 2018 represented for women’s progress, we took a closer look at one realm in particular: work. What happens in the workplace tells us a lot about whether women are gaining power and opportunity—or whether we’re frozen in place or falling behind.
This section discusses opportunities to expand economic opportunity for LGBT communities in the South. It notes that LGBT Southerners are more likely to have low incomes than non-LGBT Southerners and their LGBT peers in other regions. Specific groups like transgender people and Black children in gay male households have disproportionately high poverty rates. A lack of employment and housing protections contributes to these disparities. Funders can support organizations providing services to LGBT people experiencing poverty, as well as advocacy groups working to promote economic justice. Strengthening partnerships across issues like poverty, housing, and employment can help address the challenges faced by low-income LGBT Southerners.
Happiness for the author comes from family and friends, rather than money or possessions. They believe true happiness is found in love for others and being with people who make you happy. The document includes some photos intended to depict happiness with friends in different parts of the world.

The document discusses various theories of emotion. It describes somatic theories which claim that bodily responses are essential to emotions. The James-Lange theory argues that emotional experience is due to bodily changes. Cognitive theories view emotions as involving cognitive appraisals and judgments. Neurobiological theories see emotions arising from structures in the limbic system of the brain like the hippocampus and hypothalamus. Situated perspectives view emotions as influenced by events and situations.

Phosphorus is a non-metal that exists in two forms, white and red. It has an atomic number of 15 and atomic mass of 30.97. Phosphorus was discovered in 1669 by Hennig Brand through the distillation of urine. Phosphorus combines with calcium to form calcium phosphate, which gives strength to bones and teeth. It is widely used in matches and water softening due to its flammability.

The 2013 Atlantic/Aspen Institute Annual American Values Survey: One Nation, ...Burson-Marsteller
With July 4th approaching, more than 60 percent of Americans say the nation is more divided as a country now than it was 10 years ago, with even higher percentages saying America is at least as fragmented now as it was during the Great Depression, Vietnam, and Watergate. And perhaps most strikingly, one in five Americans doubts that America will remain united as one country. These are some of the findings of the 2013 The Atlantic/Aspen Institute American Values Survey, conducted by research firm Penn Schoen Berland (PSB) in partnership with global public relations and strategic communications firm Burson-Marsteller.

- 90% saw homelessness as a major problem in Hawaii, with 66% saying increased enforcement of laws was necessary and 48% thinking the government should increase time/money dedicated
The latest installment of Civility in America, an annual poll conducted by Weber Shandwick and Powell Tate, in partnership with KRC Research, once again finds that the majority of Americans perceive incivility to be a problem in our society.
The 2012 election resulted in a narrow victory for President Obama despite a still struggling economy. Obama was able to energize key parts of his coalition, including younger voters, minorities, and women. Romney faced challenges in appealing to these groups and struggled to convince voters that he cared about average Americans. The election highlighted the increasing polarization of the electorate along racial and partisan lines. It remains to be seen whether the Republican party can adapt to the changing demographics of the country.
This document summarizes the findings of a 2014 study on civility in America conducted by Weber Shandwick and PowellTate. Some key findings:
- Americans believe civility is eroding and the problem is getting worse, though Millennials are slightly more optimistic about future improvement.
- Millennials experience uncivil behavior more frequently than older generations, especially online. They are also more likely to take proactive steps in response.
- While all generations see civility issues, there is a divide on causes - Millennials and Gen Xers blame social media most, while older groups blame politicians.
- Millennials acknowledge high levels of uncivil behavior online but many also avoid or
The Asian population in the US has grown rapidly in recent decades and is currently the highest-income and best-educated racial group. It is extremely diverse, composed of many subgroups with different cultures and languages. Existing research shows Asian American LGBT individuals face challenges relating to their multiple minority identities, including discrimination within their families, Asian and LGBT communities. They experience higher levels of depression and health issues associated with the stresses of racism and homophobia. The purpose of the literature presented is to understand the experiences of Asian American LGBT populations and provide considerations for therapists working with this community.
Perceptions on Gender Equality, Lived Poverty from the Citizens of NamibiaAfrobarometer
The document summarizes findings from an Afrobarometer survey conducted in Namibia. Key findings include:
1) Most Namibians support gender equality and women in political leadership. However, women express less interest in politics than men.
2) Namibians feel that alcohol abuse is the largest contributor to gender-based violence in the country, followed by unemployment and poverty. Culture is not seen as a major factor.
3) Reported experiences of food shortages and lack of cash income ("lived poverty") have declined over time, tracking official statistics showing reduced poverty.
4) Namibians feel they have high levels of personal freedoms like freedom of speech, voting preferences, and

- Young people in Indonesia were the happiest in the survey, scoring 90% on the net happiness score. They also had the highest proportion who reported good emotional wellbeing.
- Indian young people were second most likely to say they are very happy and were the second most hopeful about the world becoming better. They believed education was the largest cause of hope.
- Japanese young people were the unhappiest of the 20 countries polled, with less than half reporting being happy or very happy. They also had one of the highest rates of reported unhappiness.
This document discusses poverty in America through statistics and analysis on topics such as income inequality, wealth distribution, education disparities, the criminal justice system, and funding biases that disproportionately impact minority communities and the poor. It argues that current civil rights narratives and the majority of charitable resources focus on upper-middle class issues rather than addressing the systemic roots of poverty. The document advocates for connecting people, resources, and technology to better serve those in need.
Poverty and crime cause was studied through a questionnaire given to university students. While 52% said poverty does not always cause crime, 40% believed it is a main factor. 42% thought those without an income were most likely to engage in crime. Most respondents (72%) had been victims or witnesses of crime. The conclusion was that poverty and crime are correlated, though other factors also contribute to crime. Most people did not believe the government or justice system was doing enough to reduce poverty or ensure fairness.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida.
