Individual Rights and the Obligations of Government
Prepare:
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read chapters 8, 9, and 10 in
American Government
and watch the video,
Episode II - It’s a Free Country
.
Reflect:
Our political system is characterized by certain fundamental features to include a system of laws, rights, and liberties. The laws, created and supported by the Constitutional framework, are designed to protect and secure the rights and liberties of individuals and groups throughout the U.S. However, the government also has an obligation to provide for the security of its citizens from serious internal and external threats that could cause grave or severe damage to our country. The need for homeland and national security can create a dilemma where conflicts emerge between these security needs and the demands for civil rights and liberties.
Write:
In your initial post, explain what obligations the U.S. government has towards its citizens and how can these obligations impact individual and group rights? Provide real-world examples to support your explanation. Fully respond to all parts of the prompt and write your response in your own words. Your initial response must be 200 to 250 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.
Respond to Peers:
By Day 7, respond to at least two of your classmates' initial posts. Your peer responses should be 75 to 100 words each. As your reply to your classmates, attempt to take the conversation further by examining their claims or arguments in more depth or responding to the posts that they make to you. Keep the discussion on target and try to analyze things in as much detail as you can. For instance, you might consider if your classmate’s arguments are well supported with valid sources and logically argued.

Reflect:
Political parties mobilize voters to win elections and implement policy goals. Parties use their stated policy goals (i.e., their platforms) as a way to mobilize voter support. Generally, in order to be successful in a two-party system, parties must have policy goals across a broad range of issue areas to appeal to a broad range of voters.

Unit VIII
Unit 8 Introduction--Your
Final Week!!
Unit 8 Learning Objectives and Leaving With A
Competitive Advantage
Congrats!
You’ve made it! Well done! I applaud
everyone of you for your effort and
determination. You met the challenges of
this course, and are ready to move forward
to the next course, graduation, next
academic level or your next set of goals
that you set for yourself. Before you leave
I want to remind you about being
competitive.
You always want to seek a Competitive
Advantage. Look at the picture. What
does it communicate?
Ask yourself this: “Am I the figure in gold
or gray?” If you’re gold…what did it take
to get there? If you’re gray, why are you
there? Competitive advantage is doing
things better than the other person. Think
about athletes, how do they get better?
Well, they train harder, they lift weights,
do plyometrics, yoga, strength training,
and more. Think about how you can gain
a competitive advantage in your job, and
what it takes to be out in front.
Having been a CEO I can tell you this the
people that were promoted, advanced with
responsibility, received awards, and pay
increases contributed more to the
organization. They didn’t complain or
look for handouts. They developed more
skill sets then others, and they
volunteered. Bosses love it when you
volunteer for extra work and projects.
Yes, trust me. Those I promoted gave
more to the organization than others, and
they left their competition in the dust.
Good luck in your future classes, it was a
pleasure having you in class.
Dr Anderson

Annotated Literature Review and Supporting Data
The topic for this assignment is on Employment as a Social Issue on Immigrants
Note: This assignment asks you to locate, read, and summarize ten sources. This takes time. Do not wait until the last minute to complete this assignment!
Using the form below, search for sources that provide data and information on the social problem ON EMPLOYMENT AS A SOCIAL ISSUE ON IMMIGRANTS.This will require you to use various sources that are relevant to the problem’s origin and evolution, as well as possible recommendations to address or solve the problem. Not all social problems can be solved, but some can be improved to achieve more positive outcomes. You will need to identify and state which of these—solution or improved outcomes—is a possibility for the social problem you have selected to explore.
Specific types of sources are important to the social sciences. The journal Social Problems is a good source for your review. Sources that are important in social science research are those presenting empirically based qualitative and quantitative data (information).
Sources for Qualitative Data—(verbal, observational)
· Ethnographies (research conducted by social scientists using observation and personal interview)
· News accounts by nonpartisan, print, television, radio, and Internet-based journalists. Acceptable media sources include national “flagship” newspapers such as the New York Times, Washington Post,USA Today,as well as electronic media such as National Public Radio (NPR), and Public Broadcast Networks (PBS). The hard news of local newspapers can also be cited.
· It is important to note that some of these media outlets often have a political leaning that may color how news stories are reported. It is important to be mindful not only of what is being said, but of what is NOT being said. Opinion and editorials in all newspapers should be avoided because they can be based on opinion rather than empiricism (objective research).
Sources for Quantitative Data—(numbers, percentages, statistics)
Reports by analytical organizations provide analysis of quantitative data from surveys and administrative records relevant to a variety of social problems. Some examples:
· The Pew Research Center (survey research on social issues, political issues, economic/financial issues)
· The American Economic Institute (analysis of economic and consumer issues)
· Child Trends Foundation (child and family welfare in the United States)
· The Annie E. Casey Foundation (child and family welfare in the United States)
· The Administration for Children and Families (US Dept. of Health and Human Services)
· The Bureau of Labor Statistics (US employment and unemployment)
· The Bureau of Justice Statistics and the Office of Justice and Juvenile Delinquency Prevention (adult offending and arrests, juvenile offending, prison populations)
· The Sentencing Project (US criminal sentences/death penalty)
· The Urban Institute (social and economi.

Mayor Martin Heines
City of Tyler
P.O. Box 2039
Tyler, TX, 75710
Dear Mayor Haynes:
The continuance of America’s heritage hinges on the involvement of each generation in the political and civic spheres of society. Today, this hinge is rusty and in need of repair. Richard Fry, a senior researcher for Pew Research Center, writes that “this year, the ‘Millennial’ generation is projected to surpass the outsized Baby Boom generation as the nation’s largest living generation.” Yet the Millennial generation, aged eighteen to thirty-four years old this year, is cynical towards government and apathetic towards voting and civic involvement.
In a study released April 29th by Harvard University’s Institute of Politics entitled “Survey of Young Americans’ Attitudes Toward Politics and Public Service,” only 21% of young Americans view themselves as “politically engaged” and 34% “volunteer in community service.” These facts are troubling. As of this year, an overwhelming majority of this new largest generation of Americans is not politically involved and does not volunteer in the local community. It is time for local government to step in and do what it can to engage its new constituent majority. I suggest that a new city-wide initiative be adopted, targeted toward the Millennial generation’s age group as potential members, for which the City of Tyler may provide an executive committee, office and staff structure, and financial grants, with the mission of providing a way to bring together, activate, and empower Tyler’s young adults to become increasingly involved in their community and participate in the political sphere.
In order to achieve this proposal, the Tyler City Council must adopt an initiative to attract young leaders in the community and engage their involvement. This would include setting up an organizational structure consisting of an executive committee with a Tyler City Council member as chair. It might also be helpful to install you as an honorary co-chair in this committee. There would be standing committees governing specific departments necessary to the project such as a marketing committee, membership committee, and events committee. Temporary committees may be formed as needed. Full-time staff would be necessary to put the committee’s decisions into action, establishing partnerships within the community such as nonprofits and elected officials, and sponsoring education initiatives for political involvement. The staff would take full advantage of social media including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram—favorite outlets and sources of information for Millennials. These networks can be used to further spread the word about events and opportunities made available. Memberships would be granted free of charge to Tyler residents, and others who have a vested interest in Tyler. They must be willing to sign a pledge to be ...

Annotated Literature Review and Supporting Data
The topic for this assignment is on Employment as a Social Issue on Immigrants
Note: This assignment asks you to locate, read, and summarize ten sources. This takes time. Do not wait until the last minute to complete this assignment!
Using the form below, search for sources that provide data and information on the social problem ON EMPLOYMENT AS A SOCIAL ISSUE ON IMMIGRANTS.This will require you to use various sources that are relevant to the problem’s origin and evolution, as well as possible recommendations to address or solve the problem. Not all social problems can be solved, but some can be improved to achieve more positive outcomes. You will need to identify and state which of these—solution or improved outcomes—is a possibility for the social problem you have selected to explore.
Specific types of sources are important to the social sciences. The journal Social Problems is a good source for your review. Sources that are important in social science research are those presenting empirically based qualitative and quantitative data (information).
Sources for Qualitative Data—(verbal, observational)
· Ethnographies (research conducted by social scientists using observation and personal interview)
· News accounts by nonpartisan, print, television, radio, and Internet-based journalists. Acceptable media sources include national “flagship” newspapers such as the New York Times, Washington Post,USA Today,as well as electronic media such as National Public Radio (NPR), and Public Broadcast Networks (PBS). The hard news of local newspapers can also be cited.
· It is important to note that some of these media outlets often have a political leaning that may color how news stories are reported. It is important to be mindful not only of what is being said, but of what is NOT being said. Opinion and editorials in all newspapers should be avoided because they can be based on opinion rather than empiricism (objective research).
Sources for Quantitative Data—(numbers, percentages, statistics)
Reports by analytical organizations provide analysis of quantitative data from surveys and administrative records relevant to a variety of social problems. Some examples:
· The Pew Research Center (survey research on social issues, political issues, economic/financial issues)
· The American Economic Institute (analysis of economic and consumer issues)
· Child Trends Foundation (child and family welfare in the United States)
· The Annie E. Casey Foundation (child and family welfare in the United States)
· The Administration for Children and Families (US Dept. of Health and Human Services)
· The Bureau of Labor Statistics (US employment and unemployment)
· The Bureau of Justice Statistics and the Office of Justice and Juvenile Delinquency Prevention (adult offending and arrests, juvenile offending, prison populations)
· The Sentencing Project (US criminal sentences/death penalty)
· The Urban Institute (social and economi.

Dear Mayor Haynes:
The continuance of America’s heritage hinges on the involvement of each generation in the political and civic spheres of society. Today, this hinge is rusty and in need of repair. Richard Fry, a senior researcher for Pew Research Center, writes that “this year, the ‘Millennial’ generation is projected to surpass the outsized Baby Boom generation as the nation’s largest living generation.” Yet the Millennial generation, aged eighteen to thirty-four years old this year, is cynical towards government and apathetic towards voting and civic involvement.
In a study released April 29th by Harvard University’s Institute of Politics entitled “Survey of Young Americans’ Attitudes Toward Politics and Public Service,” only 21% of young Americans view themselves as “politically engaged” and 34% “volunteer in community service.” These facts are troubling. As of this year, an overwhelming majority of this new largest generation of Americans is not politically involved and does not volunteer in the local community. It is time for local government to step in and do what it can to engage its new constituent majority. I suggest that a new city-wide initiative be adopted, targeted toward the Millennial generation’s age group as potential members, for which the City of Tyler may provide an executive committee, office and staff structure, and financial grants, with the mission of providing a way to bring together, activate, and empower Tyler’s young adults to become increasingly involved in their community and participate in the political sphere.
In order to achieve this proposal, the Tyler City Council must adopt an initiative to attract young leaders in the community and engage their involvement. This would include setting up an organizational structure consisting of an executive committee with a Tyler City Council member as chair. It might also be helpful to install you as an honorary co-chair in this committee. There would be standing committees governing specific departments necessary to the project such as a marketing committee, membership committee, and events committee. Temporary committees may be formed as needed. Full-time staff would be necessary to put the committee’s decisions into action, establishing partnerships within the community such as nonprofits and elected officials, and sponsoring education initiatives for political involvement. The staff would take full advantage of social media including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram—favorite outlets and sources of information for Millennials. These networks can be used to further spread the word about events and opportunities made available. Memberships would be granted free of charge to Tyler residents, and others who have a vested interest in Tyler. They must be willing to sign a pledge to be ...

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
