Jillian R Smith Portfolio
Welcome to my portfolio! My name is Jillian Rosa Smith and I am a recent graduate of North Carolina State University. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in communication media with a minor in Spanish. I hope to use this degree to begin a career in journalism with a focus on international and cross-cultural issues.
“Words are our most inexhaustible source of magic,” is one of my favorite quotes, said by Albus Dumbledore. They are a powerful tool, able to influence perspectives on a situation, shed light on a previously unexplored issue and affect change in the world. Just as the combinations of words in Harry Potter gave the characters the ability to cast different spells, we cast our own spells with words, telling stories that inspire and amaze.
I love being a part of the storytelling process because it is a way to connect to each other and to the world around us. Whether it’s interviewing, writing, copy editing, designing a layout or proofing before print, I enjoy all aspects of the creation and distribution of news and other stories. Here I have a few examples of the work I have done with both print and digital publications over the years.

This document discusses the Supreme Court case of Buck v. Bell, which addressed the constitutionality of involuntary sterilization laws. In the early 20th century, many US states passed laws allowing the sterilization of people deemed "unfit" or "feebleminded" in order to prevent them from reproducing. The case involved Carrie Buck, who was admitted to a state institution and targeted for sterilization by the superintendent. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled in favor of the state, allowing Buck to be sterilized without her consent. This set a precedent that involuntary sterilization did not violate the 14th Amendment.

Main Discussion United States CensusDefining your racial and
Main Discussion: United States Census
Defining your racial and ethnic identities has to do with how you classify race and identity and how others categorize them as well. Race refers to the conception that people can be categorized into groups based on skin color, hair texture, and facial features. Japanese is an example of a racial group. Ethnicity refers to a group of people who share a sense of connectedness based on national origin, language, or religion. Irish-Catholic is an example of an ethnic group. The term
culture
also appears in discussions about race and ethnicity. Culture refers to shared attitudes and behaviors, such as customs. People of the same race and ethnicity often share culture as well, and you may notice some overlap between culture, race, and ethnicity.
There are different approaches used to define racial and ethnic identities. Your text emphasizes an approach called
constructionism
. Constructionists argue that definitions of race and ethnicity cannot be separated from social processes, such as political, legal, economic, and other outside influences. They believe that these outside influences "construct" definitions of race and ethnicity, and definitions change as social processes change. For example, black children in the 1950s may have felt they were not as valued, not as competent, and not as "good" as white children because social processes at the time supported these ideas. Political and economic influences favored white children over black children. Social processes in the current era reject favoring white children over black children. Constructionism has both benefits and limitations when you consider your own racial and ethnic identities.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the "Framework Essay" as well as the assigned pages in Readings 1, 4, and 7 from Section I of the course text,
The Meaning of Difference
. Pay particular attention to the concept of constructionism as it relates to race and ethnicity.
Think about how you define your own racial and ethnic identities.
Consider how the constructionist approach has influenced your racial and ethnic identities.
Reflect on the benefits and limitations of the constructionist approach as it relates to your racial and ethnic identities.
With these thoughts in mind:
By Day 3
Post
a brief description of your racial and ethnic identities; that is, how do you define your race and ethnicity? After reading about the constructionist model, explain how it influences your racial and ethnic identities. In your explanation, include specific references that are personal to your racial and ethnic identity. Finally, briefly explain what you see are the benefits and limitations of a constructionist approach to one’s identity.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

AHMIR’S POST:
African- Americans from the rural South did not migrate to the north voluntarily, but were pushed out of the south by certain factors. Also, choosing to move to the North was not a coincidence, but were pulled there by some factors as well.
The massive migration that occurred between 1916 to 1970 was primarily caused by the push factor such as convict leasing, segregation, disenfranchisement, and the widespread increase in racist ideologies that were making the lives of African- Americans unbearable. They were forced to move in large troops when Jim Crow introduced laws that kept the African Americans in an inferior position which denied them political rights even to air out their grievances. So they chose to move to the North, where racial segregation was not mandated even though racism was rampant.
Another factor that pushed the African-Americans out to the North was the lack of employment opportunities in the South. The poor economic conditions in the South made survival very difficult. The situation was made worse by the continuous failing of crops, limitation of sharing cropping on the farms, limited land for farming, and crop damage from the boll weevil. Also, the Jim Crow laws' social and racial oppression made possible meant that they could not even market their produce freely. The lynching of African Americans did also push them out in large numbers.
The main pull factor for the great migration of African Americans to the North was encouraging reports of reasonable wages and better living conditions in the North. These reports came from African soldiers who had returned from the war and were also reported in the African American newspapers. They were pulled by the economic opportunities found in the industrial cities, which mean ...

How Do You Start An Introduction For A Research
Hobos during the Great Depression were typically penniless men who traveled by hopping freight trains to find work, as they owned nothing but what they carried. With many people struggling financially during this era, hobos met other travelers as they moved around the country looking for income opportunities. Life as a hobo was difficult due to their lack of money and home, but it allowed them to experience different places and interact with diverse groups of people also affected by the economic hardships of the time.

An important part of our course is researching information on dive.docx
An important part of our course is researching information on diversity and multiculturalism and its social, cultural, and ethical impact upon individual citizens, groups of people, and society at large.
Below are four scenarios pertaining to cultural diversity. For this assignment, you will prepare a research paper that focuses on one of these scenarios, analyzing what happened, what the consequences either are or might be, and how the situation can be corrected and or prevented in the future. These must be concrete suggestions that could actually be implemented rather than vague references or opinions. While the situations have been fictionalized, there have been actual situations that are very similar. You will submit the report in three sections throughout the course, with a due date for each section. These due dates are posted on the Course Schedule.
The Course Project should be six to eight pages in length, with an additional Title page and Reference page(s). The Reference page should include a minimum of four different scholarly, academically accepted books and/or journals used. Do not use Wikipedia and similar encyclopedia websites, such as about.com or buzzle.com. Please review the detailed instructions for each phase of the project, which you can find in the Assignment tab for that week. Your project will be graded as follows.
Here are the scenarios. If you happen to be familiar with an actual incident, you may request it as your scenario, but you will need my approval first.
1. A large hydroelectric dam built in the 1950s and 60s created a 1-million acre impoundment, and it has been a major means of both producing electricity and flood control for many decades. In early spring each year, the water level above the dam is lowered to allow a reservoir for upstream snow melt and runoff later released downstream in a controlled fashion. This annual event has drawn no notice until this past spring, when a Native American tribe whose reservation borders on the impoundment came forward to claim that an ancient burial ground had been revealed less than a mile above the dam when the water level was lowered. To them, this was sacred ground and disturbing the bones of their ancestors was tantamount to desecration. Citing both 19th century treaty agreements and contracts with the U.S. government at the time the dam was built concerning the sanctity of holy grounds, the tribe insists that the burial grounds cannot be submerged again and that the water level must be maintained at its present, lower level. They also say that their culture does not permit the removal and reburial of the remains and that the federal government has recognized the rights of Native Americans to protect their holy places. Anthropologists have surveyed the site and report that indeed it is an ancient burial ground, but that the people may be from a much older group than those presently claiming ancestry.
There are a number of problems presented. One, with no reservoir .

POL 123 – Case Analysis 5 Fact Patterns
Write an analysis for each scenario below. See the Case Analysis Instructions for further information about completing the assignment.
1. Jonas is 18 and recently finished high school. He lives at home with his mom and dad. While collecting dirty laundry in his room one day, Jonas’ mother discovered some of Jonas’ clothing with dried blood on them. She also found a bloody survival knife and muddy boots under his bed, as well as a bracelet that said “Lynn.” A few days earlier, police had discovered the missing body of Jonas’ high school sweetheart, Lynn, in the woods. Lynn had recently broken up with him. The medical examiner had determined that Lynn had died from repeated stabbing. When Jonas had been questioned by the police at the station, he claimed he knew nothing of the incident, and the police have no evidence tying Jonas to the disappearance or murder. Analyze these facts using ethical concepts or concerns from Module 8. (You are not evaluating elements of murder, or due process issues for example.)
2. District Attorney Schultz has brought charges against three players of the University football team. They have been charged with raping a stripper at a party attended by team members. The case has received much publicity and the media have discovered that the three players have a history of violence towards women. (Last year, two other women claimed they had been raped, but the cell phone video showing the forced sex had been excluded based on an illegal police search, and the players were found "not guilty.”) Shultz believes these players are guilty, and has given approximately 60 media interviews on the case. Schultz has also been campaigning for reelection, and a conviction here would go a long way. Unfortunately for Schultz, the DNA tests he ran do not match any of the three players to the victim’s assault. When he questioned her about this, the victim made contradictory statements, and she had no other evidence to corroborate the events. In fact, while her statements confirm that they raped her, she admitted to having consensual sex with two other men at the party, which weakens the case. Schultz decides to not tell anyone about the DNA results unless asked, and instructs the victim/witness to deny the other sexual encounters at trial. Analyze these facts using ethical concepts or concerns from Module 8. (You are not evaluating elements of rape or due process issues for example.) Assuming that Schultz had a strong belief that the defendants were guilty, include in your analysis whether this affects the moral and legal permissibility of his conduct.
3. Michelle worked two jobs as a security guard in Phoenix, Arizona. She was walking outside the building where she works at 6:30 AM, Monday, when two bundles of money fell out of an armored truck en route to a bank. Inside the bundles was approximately $500,000. Michelle had an inheritance that would post to her bank account on Wednesday. She .

Main Discussion United States CensusDefining your racial and
Main Discussion: United States Census
Defining your racial and ethnic identities has to do with how you classify race and identity and how others categorize them as well. Race refers to the conception that people can be categorized into groups based on skin color, hair texture, and facial features. Japanese is an example of a racial group. Ethnicity refers to a group of people who share a sense of connectedness based on national origin, language, or religion. Irish-Catholic is an example of an ethnic group. The term
culture
also appears in discussions about race and ethnicity. Culture refers to shared attitudes and behaviors, such as customs. People of the same race and ethnicity often share culture as well, and you may notice some overlap between culture, race, and ethnicity.
There are different approaches used to define racial and ethnic identities. Your text emphasizes an approach called
constructionism
. Constructionists argue that definitions of race and ethnicity cannot be separated from social processes, such as political, legal, economic, and other outside influences. They believe that these outside influences "construct" definitions of race and ethnicity, and definitions change as social processes change. For example, black children in the 1950s may have felt they were not as valued, not as competent, and not as "good" as white children because social processes at the time supported these ideas. Political and economic influences favored white children over black children. Social processes in the current era reject favoring white children over black children. Constructionism has both benefits and limitations when you consider your own racial and ethnic identities.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the "Framework Essay" as well as the assigned pages in Readings 1, 4, and 7 from Section I of the course text,
The Meaning of Difference
. Pay particular attention to the concept of constructionism as it relates to race and ethnicity.
Think about how you define your own racial and ethnic identities.
Consider how the constructionist approach has influenced your racial and ethnic identities.
Reflect on the benefits and limitations of the constructionist approach as it relates to your racial and ethnic identities.
With these thoughts in mind:
By Day 3
Post
a brief description of your racial and ethnic identities; that is, how do you define your race and ethnicity? After reading about the constructionist model, explain how it influences your racial and ethnic identities. In your explanation, include specific references that are personal to your racial and ethnic identity. Finally, briefly explain what you see are the benefits and limitations of a constructionist approach to one’s identity.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

AHMIR’S POST:
African- Americans from the rural South did not migrate to the north voluntarily, but were pushed out of the south by certain factors. Also, choosing to move to the North was not a coincidence, but were pulled there by some factors as well.
The massive migration that occurred between 1916 to 1970 was primarily caused by the push factor such as convict leasing, segregation, disenfranchisement, and the widespread increase in racist ideologies that were making the lives of African- Americans unbearable. They were forced to move in large troops when Jim Crow introduced laws that kept the African Americans in an inferior position which denied them political rights even to air out their grievances. So they chose to move to the North, where racial segregation was not mandated even though racism was rampant.
Another factor that pushed the African-Americans out to the North was the lack of employment opportunities in the South. The poor economic conditions in the South made survival very difficult. The situation was made worse by the continuous failing of crops, limitation of sharing cropping on the farms, limited land for farming, and crop damage from the boll weevil. Also, the Jim Crow laws' social and racial oppression made possible meant that they could not even market their produce freely. The lynching of African Americans did also push them out in large numbers.
The main pull factor for the great migration of African Americans to the North was encouraging reports of reasonable wages and better living conditions in the North. These reports came from African soldiers who had returned from the war and were also reported in the African American newspapers. They were pulled by the economic opportunities found in the industrial cities, which mean ...

How Do You Start An Introduction For A Research
Hobos during the Great Depression were typically penniless men who traveled by hopping freight trains to find work, as they owned nothing but what they carried. With many people struggling financially during this era, hobos met other travelers as they moved around the country looking for income opportunities. Life as a hobo was difficult due to their lack of money and home, but it allowed them to experience different places and interact with diverse groups of people also affected by the economic hardships of the time.

An important part of our course is researching information on dive.docx
An important part of our course is researching information on diversity and multiculturalism and its social, cultural, and ethical impact upon individual citizens, groups of people, and society at large.
Below are four scenarios pertaining to cultural diversity. For this assignment, you will prepare a research paper that focuses on one of these scenarios, analyzing what happened, what the consequences either are or might be, and how the situation can be corrected and or prevented in the future. These must be concrete suggestions that could actually be implemented rather than vague references or opinions. While the situations have been fictionalized, there have been actual situations that are very similar. You will submit the report in three sections throughout the course, with a due date for each section. These due dates are posted on the Course Schedule.
The Course Project should be six to eight pages in length, with an additional Title page and Reference page(s). The Reference page should include a minimum of four different scholarly, academically accepted books and/or journals used. Do not use Wikipedia and similar encyclopedia websites, such as about.com or buzzle.com. Please review the detailed instructions for each phase of the project, which you can find in the Assignment tab for that week. Your project will be graded as follows.
Here are the scenarios. If you happen to be familiar with an actual incident, you may request it as your scenario, but you will need my approval first.
1. A large hydroelectric dam built in the 1950s and 60s created a 1-million acre impoundment, and it has been a major means of both producing electricity and flood control for many decades. In early spring each year, the water level above the dam is lowered to allow a reservoir for upstream snow melt and runoff later released downstream in a controlled fashion. This annual event has drawn no notice until this past spring, when a Native American tribe whose reservation borders on the impoundment came forward to claim that an ancient burial ground had been revealed less than a mile above the dam when the water level was lowered. To them, this was sacred ground and disturbing the bones of their ancestors was tantamount to desecration. Citing both 19th century treaty agreements and contracts with the U.S. government at the time the dam was built concerning the sanctity of holy grounds, the tribe insists that the burial grounds cannot be submerged again and that the water level must be maintained at its present, lower level. They also say that their culture does not permit the removal and reburial of the remains and that the federal government has recognized the rights of Native Americans to protect their holy places. Anthropologists have surveyed the site and report that indeed it is an ancient burial ground, but that the people may be from a much older group than those presently claiming ancestry.
There are a number of problems presented. One, with no reservoir .

POL 123 – Case Analysis 5 Fact Patterns
Write an analysis for each scenario below. See the Case Analysis Instructions for further information about completing the assignment.
1. Jonas is 18 and recently finished high school. He lives at home with his mom and dad. While collecting dirty laundry in his room one day, Jonas’ mother discovered some of Jonas’ clothing with dried blood on them. She also found a bloody survival knife and muddy boots under his bed, as well as a bracelet that said “Lynn.” A few days earlier, police had discovered the missing body of Jonas’ high school sweetheart, Lynn, in the woods. Lynn had recently broken up with him. The medical examiner had determined that Lynn had died from repeated stabbing. When Jonas had been questioned by the police at the station, he claimed he knew nothing of the incident, and the police have no evidence tying Jonas to the disappearance or murder. Analyze these facts using ethical concepts or concerns from Module 8. (You are not evaluating elements of murder, or due process issues for example.)
2. District Attorney Schultz has brought charges against three players of the University football team. They have been charged with raping a stripper at a party attended by team members. The case has received much publicity and the media have discovered that the three players have a history of violence towards women. (Last year, two other women claimed they had been raped, but the cell phone video showing the forced sex had been excluded based on an illegal police search, and the players were found "not guilty.”) Shultz believes these players are guilty, and has given approximately 60 media interviews on the case. Schultz has also been campaigning for reelection, and a conviction here would go a long way. Unfortunately for Schultz, the DNA tests he ran do not match any of the three players to the victim’s assault. When he questioned her about this, the victim made contradictory statements, and she had no other evidence to corroborate the events. In fact, while her statements confirm that they raped her, she admitted to having consensual sex with two other men at the party, which weakens the case. Schultz decides to not tell anyone about the DNA results unless asked, and instructs the victim/witness to deny the other sexual encounters at trial. Analyze these facts using ethical concepts or concerns from Module 8. (You are not evaluating elements of rape or due process issues for example.) Assuming that Schultz had a strong belief that the defendants were guilty, include in your analysis whether this affects the moral and legal permissibility of his conduct.

POLA43Describe the governor’s roles in influencing the budgetary.docx
The governor plays a key role in influencing the state budgetary process in several ways:
1) The governor proposes an annual budget that outlines spending priorities and revenue estimates.
2) The governor can veto specific items in the budget passed by the state legislature.
3) The governor has influence over the legislature through negotiations and lobbying efforts to gain support for their budgetary goals.
POL 201 Week 5 DQ 2PreparePrior to beginning your reflection,.docx
This document contains discussion questions and prompts for a POL 201 course. The first prompt asks students to discuss how one feature of the US government, such as the written Constitution, checks and balances, or separation of powers, is most important for democracy. The second discusses how the executive and judicial branches have personally affected the student's life. The third examines the debate around the Electoral College system. Subsequent prompts discuss how federalism and Congress impact students' lives and work, and challenges around balancing local, state, and federal policies. Students are asked to support their responses with citations from course readings.

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?

Introduction
Sustainable development is dependent on the effective function of the public institutions. 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.

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 differ-
ent 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 mes-
sages 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.

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

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.

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 interven-
tions—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 avail-
able, 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 evi-
dence does suggest desirable directions for future policy in the United States. Policies establish-
ing 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.

nergy comes in many forms. In most industrial nations, coal,
oil, and natural gas are the predominant fuels. These non-
renewable forms of energy are the lifeblood of modern indus-
trial societies, but they are also a potential Achilles’ heel. If you
cut the supply off for even a brief moment, industry would come
to a standstill. Agriculture and mining would halt. Millions would
be out of work. Automobiles would vanish from city streets. Al-
most everything in our homes would cease to operate. In addition,
as the Gulf oil spill in 2010 showed, our dependence on these
fuels can be extremely costly!
Many of the less developed nations have pinned their hopes for
economic progress on their ability to tap into oil, coal, natural gas,
and to a lesser extent nuclear power, which have fueled the indus-

Introduction Paragraph
According to historical records and evidence, since the end of WWII US has involved her military in over 60 military actions in countries such as Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Panama, Haiti, Kuwait, Pakistan, Bosnia among other countries across the globe. In this respect, American presidents have used their power and authority with the approval of the congress to send and dispatch American troops to engage in military functions such as engaging in attacks and bombing of groups that are pose threat to world peace. Although more often than not, U.S military operations on international level have received a lot of criticism across board it can be argued that U.S has a long history of overseas military operations as tries to maintain its superiority thus currently its military operation plays an important role across boundaries all over the globe (Heitmeyer, 2011).

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.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 2. STUDENT EXAMPLE Newspaper Analysis Name: August Galloway / Foundations/ Date 4/2/12 Name of the publication: The Circle, Native American News and Arts 1. Which paradigm does this publication speak from, editorially? Explain how you know.This paper has a Single Studies Group Paradigm as it focuses on the American Indian Communities, and their experiences, politics and events, specifically that of Minnesota. For example articles about Rep. Susan Allen, the first Native American Women to serve in the MN State Legislation, American Indian students who are wining education awards and about tribal innovations in recycling and waste disposal. There is an element of Social Reconstructionism also to this paper as there is a lot political discourse, in particular of those items that have historical roots and the implications of this events on present day circumstances. There is examination of what should be done to strengthen the people and correct past discrepancies to the race. Some of the suggested reforms are controversial in nature, including for the white culture in Minnesota, but even within the American Indian community
- 3. itself, which calls for critical thinking and collaborative problem solving. Examples that reflect this paradigm would be an article discussing the use if Indian names as college sports mascots – some tribes are OK with it, and some are not, and about tribal members different perspectives and validity of Tribal Elections. 2. How many articles with a: A. Political base: 17 B. Arts focus: 2 C. Cultural focus (accomplishments/news): 10 D. Educational: 4 E. How many ads for jobs not specific to the culture: 10 F. How many ads for general services: 22 G. How many personal ads: 0 3. Could you detect a special focus in this paper? Describe and reflect on why.I think the focus I got from the paper was the publicizing the issues that effect Indian people and Indian lands- both historically and currently. Much of this has political slant, since it involves negotiating with state and federal governments. There were a few articles about elections and how they are of importance to the people, again both internally and externally. I think that while people in general know that the Indian community has had a lot of political disadvantage in the past, this paper has served to explain many of those issues in a way that the internal community can understand and therefore have a voice and cause to stand up for. I was pleased to see an editorial from the Minneapolis Schools Superintendent that was obviously reaching out to the community to garner support for the success of the students. I had a copy of the Circle from a year ago and there was also an editorial from this same Superintendent, which leads me to believe this is a regular feature of this paper. The one thing I saw that I have never seen before was a official legal notice to 3 different parents that they were being called into court for a review of their parental rights. It seems that these parents were not reachable in any other way, so it was served in this public
- 4. manner. Reminded me when I lived in Ely off the “grid” and the local radio station delivered messages to people at a specific hour/ day of the week. The paper was overall positive, and I got the impression it wasn’t meant to be “radical” or “conciliatory”; but to put the record straight of what is happening and include the historical roots to those current issues. 4. General summary: What did you learn?I learned that there is a lot of pride and encouragement for Native People to be aware of and to take part in the political issues of the MN Native Communities. While there were not a lot of articles regarding arts and education, certainly a majority of adds targeted these two areas, including Powwow notices, advertising for public schools and Universities and notices about film screenings. It was nice to see the non- Indian organizations reaching out to the Native communities, but there were not too many and most again were education and arts in nature, with a used car add thrown in. That actually is rather discouraging. 5. Critical Synthesis…how will this new data impact your practice? (200-400 words)I will most likely work in schools that include a high Native American population. I have learned: American Indian kids are more likely to be designated as needing Special Education services than other races. I have seen that myself in observing my mentors room. Reading through The Circle newspaper, I realize how much some schools are reaching out to the American Indian community to hopefully engage individuals in their services, but to also emphasize the importance of families staying connected to the young peoples academic successes. I would encourage my school district to consider reaching out the community via such a newspaper, for example, the Virginia School district should be proud that its American Indian students are making AYP, something that is not happening in many of the other school districts. It would be great to see an article recognizing and celebrating the success of these students and sending a message to the American Indian community that the district cares about this success. Finally, I think it is important for me as a teacher to stay
- 5. abreast of current political and tribal issues as well as events and celebrations affecting this community as many of these happenings have historical implications that affect the people and their families today. I know at the Virginia Public Schools, the American Indian Student Club recently held an 1856 Treaty celebration day. Not knowing what this meant, I looked up the history of this land treaty which explained to me why the Boise Forte reservation is split up the way it is, and therefore which explains why some of the students from this community chose to be bussed into the Virginia schools (1/2 hour away) versus the 1 hour away school that is located at the Nett Lake tribal school site. Being aware of such issues would give me opportunity to teach using real world scenarios that resonant with this group of students (such as suggesting researching out this treaty as a history assignment) as well as be a better advocate for the individual student and their families within the school system.
