This document discusses political marginalization and how to structure a political system to promote equity. It argues that distributing economic opportunities across all groups can reduce inequality. A national career development program could provide training, networking events, and job placement to help marginalized communities increase social mobility. Political economy and relevant policy actors can shape global and domestic initiatives to promote greater prosperity and reduce wealth gaps. Advocacy networks, partnerships, and empowerment strategies can also increase opportunities for marginalized groups.

1. POL 614 POLITICAL MARGINALIZATION
What does Political Marginalization look like?
Shaping a political system
Phillip Mitchell
5/8/2016
This final paper examines how an ideal marginalized political system should look like when
structured using elements of diversity and other “Otherness” features to create an equitable
political administrative state.

2. A purely defined marginalized economy begins with opportunity being distributed across
all margins to create a more prosperous future for all communities within a political system.
Shaping economic opportunity in an equity form can produce greater economic de-
marginalization by generating less inequality and other socio-economic discrepancies to assist
communities and other disadvantaged factions to increase social mobility and other aristocracy
functions within the political administrative state to produce a utilitarian political system that
serves all economic interests for the greatest number within a political system. Moreover,
defining economic opportunity as a form of utility best describes how marginalization can be
accurate applied within a political administrative state to generate the universal political
economy activity within a political system. In sum, marginalized economic utility serves as an
economic ladder to better increase wealth status and other ascribed functions inside a political
system.
For example, this type of economic transaction or ladder can produce better self-worth,
economic prospects, economic advancement, and other economic opportunity or chances
provided to those who want a better future. In addition, economic advancement, production,
socialization, and other political economy features such as increased purchasing power and other
marginalized appeals helps increase economic activity within the political system. Furthermore,
increased marginalized economic appeal helps produce economic opportunity and career
advancement for marginalized communities requires four things which are community
engagement, cooperation, partnerships, community involvement, and regional alliances among
multiple states and agencies to foster economic opportunities to all segments of society,
especially lower-middle income, poor households, Latinos, young people, and African
Americans who all are displaced communities looking for work to help achieve greater economic

3. advancements and outlooks to increase their destined futures and self-worth values. Finally, this
journal discusses how the creation of a national career and development program policy that will
provide greater opportunity and advancement for marginalized communities who are defined by
ascribed-status functions that limit their self-worth values and create opportunity for them to
achieve their achieved-status abilities to help create brighter futures for all who want to advance
their social status attainment inside a political system.
As noted, marginalized communities are disadvantaged because of the lack of
opportunity provided to them by their ascribed status functions inside a political system prevents
them from climbing the ladders of opportunity to achieve economic success. For example, with
the increasing demand for education and skills in the workforce, marginalized communities such
as African Americans, Latinos, LGBT, Transgender, and young people all have higher
unemployment rates than do white communities and communities with greater education
attainment, leading to many disparities and other socially constrained positions of economic
opportunity and outlook inside a political system (Tate, K.A., Fallon, K.M., Casquarelli, E.J. &
Marks, L.R., 2014, p. 285-302). In particular, communities that have higher unemployment rates
such as African American (13.3%), Hispanic (12.1%, 9.2%), Whites (6.7%), and disabled
persons (14.5%, 7.4%) have lower education attainment leading to limited economic
opportunity and job prospects, which determines socio-economic status based on the kind of
degree and education one has inside a community to determine their economic prospects and
outlook inside a political system (Tate, K.A., Fallon, K.M., Casquarelli, E.J. & Marks, L.R.,
2014, p. 285-302). In addition, limited economic opportunity and outlook creates a lack of
employment status leading to increased mental health consequences creating social justice
problems and actions that affect career advancement abilities among other achieved-status

4. functions inside political systems (Tate, K.A., Fallon, K.M., Casquarelli, E.J., & Marks, L.R.,
2014, p. 285- 302). With limited economic opportunities leading to less career advancement
opportunities and other achieved-status functions of economic chances and transactions being
created inside a political system: methods of networking (internships, mentoring programs, and
professional organizations), job placement (analytical and technical skills training), career
development (skills and assessment tests), individualized career education plans (cognitive
abilities and skills), expertise assessments & tests, among developing different learning styles
and education plans will help shrink the economic opportunity gap among socio-economic
disadvantage communities to develop a career network plan (Tate, K.A., Fallon, K.M.,
Casquarelli, E.J., & Marks, L.R., 2014, p. 285-302).
Developing a career network plan would require creating a specialized plan for each
defined case in a marginalized community that would speak to the strengths of the student and
help them get a job to increase their economic outlook prospects by focusing on the skills they
are strongest at to help them increase their self-worth and value to be economically productive
inside a political system. In addition, to developing a career network plan that utilizes the
strengths of each individual in a marginalized community, community partnerships,
engagements, regional alliances, community involvement, and partnerships could be part of the
national career network plan. Moreover, the national career network and development plan
would use community banks as avenues for job opportunities and career training functions to
create enhancement of skills and training learned and developed to increase prominent
employment prospects and other opportunities of continuing learning to produce economic
advantages and outlooks for marginalized communities (Economic Opportunity Act, 2014).
Utilizing community job banks would create more economic opportunities among marginalized

5. communities by increasing safety nets and economic security functions to produce more services
to marginalized communities such as child care services being provided, early childhood
opportunities furnished to help children learn, and receive health care immunizations that reduce
poverty and increase economic opportunity, outlook, and employment prospects for all
communities who seek a better future for themselves and their families (Economic Opportunity
Act, 2014). Moreover, an increased adjustment in spending for job banks and other federal work
programs reduces unemployment rates among marginalized communities but provides avenues
for poverty to be reduced and economic success to be defined by marginalized communities
among African American, Latinos, Hispanics, Whites, and young people to provide networking
opportunities inside a political system.
For example, a national career and development program would be great in producing job
banks, community networking events, job fairs, and other economically advantages such as
allowing marginalized communities to interact with legislators, mayors, nonprofit organizations,
economic clubs and groups, churches, teachers, corporations, labor union presidents and CEO’s,
labor unions and other agents and political alliances inside a community to help develop
partnering strategies and other networking opportunities for marginalized individuals and
communities. These interactions would help further marginalized individuals and communities
by furthering their professional and economic development skills to help them achieve the
experience, sponsorship, scholarship, and other training necessary to help them transition into
their respective career tracks effectively and efficiently. Finally, a nationalized career network
and development plan is a form of political economy that would produce lists of trade
opportunities, trade union jobs, internship opportunities, paid internships, apprenticeships, paid
volunteer opportunities as well as other incentive based programs that would be developed as

6. part of the strengths determined by the student to help him achieve his economic potential and
create a better future for all marginalized communities who are at an socio-economic status.
Political Economy helps shape marginalization policy within a political system. In
addition, political economy serves a foundational element of any political system to help
structure strong vibrant economic and political institutions, systems, and mechanisms to help
create domestic, international, and regional patterns of economic activity to help Sovereigns and
state political actors produce equitable marginalization of wealth among all communities within
a political system. This attitude or collective action problem is a form of social relations among
institutional configurations such as States and political institutions to help structure political
systems that reflect all communities and reduce the impact of marginalized ones throughout
political systems (Bruff, I. & Ebenau, M., 2014, p. 3-15). For example, political economy
scholarship is best afforded when strong institutions are created and maintained inside a political
system to be institute economic constraints, policy ideas, and increased social arrangements to
help create dialogue and institutional emphasis of political institutions being the bedrock for how
political systems increase marginalization to create greater institutional order to help achieve
equitable marginalization (Bruff, I. & Ebenau, M., 2014, p. 3-15). Political economy scholarship
is best structured and marginalized in a Marxist type of political system which includes reform-
liberal style political systems and democratic socialism political systems which tend to generate
surplus revenues and other economic engines for how political and institutional scholarship is
designed to help the Sovereign create the social and political conditions necessary for equitable
marginalization to take place reducing the role of capitalist traditions and ideas inside a State
(Bruff, I. & Ebenau, M., 2014, p. 3-15). Sovereigns that shape political economy scholarship

7. help design economic, political, and legislative conditions for economic zones and other
collaboration methods to take shape within political systems.
Nationally coordinated economic zones partner with local domestic governments to help
increase economic opportunity and other political economy functions within a political system.
For example, nationally coordinated economic zones funds housing opportunities, public
transportation, wasteful programs, increase national service initiatives, and helps empower local
state governments to increase political and regional economic interests and alliances while
reducing the impact the Sovereign has on creating coalitions and other engines of social
construct and economic order to reduce marginalization of “the Other” communities within a
political system to help increase wealth among all minorities (The White House, 2014). In
addition, parliaments and legislative entities such as Congress can serve as engines of policy
development by creating informal economy scholarship which focuses on paid activities and
training functions of labor distribution within a State to help further increase the Sovereigns role
in developing prevailing incomes and wealth allocations that reflect a broad view of universal
political economy (Williams, C.C. & Horodnic, I.A., 2015, p. 242-224). Moreover, increased
socio-economic variables increase marital status, age, social class, tax morality, and other
economic and social variables or conditions that help increase the role of States to increase
informal economic conditions, while also tackling issue of wealth marginalization to create a
better representation of “the Other” within political-economic settings (Williams, C.C. &
Horodnic, I.A., 2015, p. 242-224). Finally, greater Sovereign discretion of policy
implementation and development creates affluent regions of national economic growth,
distribution increases, domestic and national regions of partnerships and economic investment,
and coordinated policy agents and actors of sustainable economic growth to help reduce wealth

8. gaps and increase wealth equality within political systems to help achieve less “Otherness” and
more diverse elements of increased economic mobility and political economy functions within
political systems (Williams, C.C. & Horodnic, I.A., 2015, p. 242-224).
Economic scholarship in the form of increased domestic and global initiatives, regions,
partnerships, and collaboration methods and constructions help formulate better economic policy
to generate relevant policy actors to help increase economic prosperity and economic growth for
all members of a political system. For example, relevant policy actors include international
political institutions such as the EU, NATO, and other supranational political institutions,
international parliaments, domestic State Legislatures, Congress, labor movement forces such as
unions, trade associations, Heads of States & Governments, economic groups (Williams, C.C. &
Horodnic, I.A., 2015, p. 242-224). Moreover, domestic and international groups foster political
support and organization for how initiatives are constructed to generate greater opportunity for
all within marginalized communities to reduce economic barriers and other economic conditions
that hold back minority communities within political systems (Williams, C.C. & Horodnic, I.A.,
2015, p. 242-224). In conclusion, these relevant policy actors can help shape global political
economy and produce effective policy regimes and other policy mechanisms to create greater
economic mobility, prosperity, and partnership initiatives and functions that lead to a reduction
in domestic, global, and international disparities of wealth and income inequality to help increase
the role of Sovereigns within the domestic and international policy arenas to help produce a more
equitable measurement of marginalization within political systems.
Economic measure (wealth allocation) is a form empowerment that serves a political
administrative state well if distributed in the right form. For example, economic empowerment
serves as feature of influential effect and policy development for marginalized groups within

9. political administrative states structuring coalitions and other institutional actors to focus on
attention of economic mobility and social justice initiatives. Economic empowerment in this case
can be defined as using political attitudes such as global goals and initiatives to create stronger
protections and avenues of impact inside a certain group to reduce oppression to further increase
the equality and progress that is sustainable for all groups in structuring economic policies that
increase wealth distribution and income mobility (Jones, M., 2012, p. 22). For example, agents
of social development, economic development, and environmental protection help form greater
protections and opportunities within marginalized communities such as women and poor-income
groups to structure international engines of mobility and resources to reduce poverty and
promote international egalitarian goals and policies that increase international political
participation and mobilization of marginalized groups to increase political and economic
empowerment (Jones, M., 2012, p. 22). In addition, these economic opportunities help structure
collective impacts or collective success within different political systems allowing different
actors to generate stakeholders such business organizations, local, state, and municipal entities,
community groups, non-profit organizations, national sovereigns, and other political actors can
serve as avenues of empowerment and opportunity to help improve socio-economic programs of
marginalized groups (Kania, J. & Kramer, M., 2011, p. 36-41). Moreover, these collective
success networks of collective impacts have improved children’s lives by increasing educational
goals such as math and reading skills, high-school graduation rates, and other increases in social
mobility has lead to increased partnerships with community colleges and universities helping
align educational resources initiatives that improve quality of life standards and creating a sense
of social change inside advocacy networks and partnerships (Kania, J. & Kramer, M., 2011, p.
36-41).

10. Advocacy networks help increase marginalize activity within a political administrative
state to help produce greater social justice attributes to help increase socio-economic, socio-
political institutions within a political system. For example advocacy networks, partnerships, and
nonprofit organizations continue to serve as engines of social justice within political systems. In
addition, educational networks and settings create an avenue for women and poor-income groups
to be beneficiaries of network and group coordination within political systems to increase
economic mobility and empowerment features within political systems. Moreover, economic
mobility and empowerment opportunities focus on positive activities that structure social
programs and policies that make the quality of life standards better for women, poor-income
groups, and young people inside political administrative states to help increase social and
economic mobility networks among marginalized groups (Kania, J. & Kramer, M., 2011, p. 36-
41). In essence, avenues of empowerment such as include religion, political activism, divine
intervention, legislative organization of macro resources such as church offerings, voter
registration efforts, ballot initiatives, and religious icons and moral issues such as economic
empowerment, social mobility, and political mobilization can all be positive engagement features
within political systems (Harris, F.C., 1999, p. 12-26).
In essence, micro resources such as class status and social mobility frameworks inside
political systems bring attention to marginalized communities such as Black Americans to help
mobilized political support behind policy initiatives, institutional changes, and political forces
that help reduce economic struggles and challenges within marginalized communities. Reduced
economic struggles create positive protections to help increase social change and mobilization of
political support and policy actors to help break down barriers and provide hope and inspiration
to many disadvantaged communities within political systems (Harris, F.C., 1999, p. 26-41).

11. Furthermore, empowerment strategies and resources employed by church gatherings, initiative
offerings, and other political institutions serve as effective tools in creating direct democracy
features within political systems. These direct democracy features create political mobilization
and support within marginalized communities creating greater social engagement, political
organization, community volunteerism, and political campaigns that are “ordered initiatives” that
have divine influential aspects within political systems (Harris, F.C., 1999, p. 27-41). Moreover,
influential events help structure political and social change in the form of being avenues of
empowerment that translates into greater economic empowerment and greater accountability of
political institutions to take shape inside political systems (Harris, F.C., 1999, p. 27-41).
Greater political change that challenges social norms and creates real debate within
political systems serves as an inclusive role in being agents of economic empowerment and
moral compasses for distributing economic and wealth equality throughout political systems.
These moral compasses and empowerment opportunities generate greater utility
(economic/egalitarian features) that generate greater political power and influence among polity
elements and marginalized groups within the political administrative states creating more equity
throughout political systems. Greater polity elements help frame political order within political
administrative states to help increase diversity and economic opportunity to all within the
political system.
Political order is an essential function of the political administrative state to make sure
diversity and marginalization serve as instruments of equity to make sure political power and
influence create opportunities of growth and prosperity for minority communities and otherness
interests (such as blacks, Hispanics/Latinos, young people, and the poor) to increase political
presence and other aspects of a diverse society. In addition, political growth expands when

12. institutional frameworks such as political institutions create opportunities for socialization to
occur where different communities can engage in the political process to increase power
distributions and functions within the political system (Farmbry, K., 2009, p. 1-12). Moreover,
power functions and distributions are forms of knowledge within the political administrative
state that shapes how power, discourse, political position (status), and different sociology factors
such as academia fields, specializations, and other social science traditions all fuse together to
create and implement a collective political administrative state that represents all utilitarian and
egalitarian principles of political science (Farmbry, K., 2009, p. 1-12). In sum, these utilitarian
and egalitarian principles govern a political system to implement an imperfect political
administrative that creates more inclusion and marginal capacity in creating a diverse community
of political attitudes, opinions, and preferences to create the utmost equilibrium form of the
political administrative state.
As mentioned, utility and egalitarian principles in the sense of creating an equitable form
of collective well-being. Furthermore, this collective well-being shapes how socio-political status
can be arranged by men to create the best environment possible to help create a functional
political system that works for everybody (Farmbry, K., 2009, p. 1-12). In addition, this idea is
served most effective when best practices are created to help create initiatives for projects,
policymaking and planning strategies are employed to create a factual basis for empirical
understanding and normative/qualitative policies that serve a specific research need to create a
culture of inclusion and conformity to produce sustainable results in measuring public policies
and political administrative state decision-making processes that determine political character
and indigenous (diverse) knowledge within a political system to help improve lives of
communities (Bendixsen, S., de Guchteneire, P., 2003, p. 677-682). Moreover, these best

13. practices create effective planning services that help political administrative states increase the
role of political institutions inside a political state by developing inclusion policies that are
designed to increase migration functions or culturally accepted norms that expand knowledge
and political power within a political system (Bendixsen, S., de Guchteneire, P., 2003, p. 677-
682). These migration features help promote affirmative action and diversity efficacies to
increase displaced communities within a political system have more influence, power, and other
influential resources to help establish a polity diverse political administrative state (Kalev, A.,
Kelly, E., & Dobbin, F., 2006, p. 589-617).
Diversity and inclusion are responsibilities of a government to formulate the management
policy to create best employment practices while combating workplace inequality and other
program inequities that do not promote universal networking opportunities and social activities
for employees. In addition, these government responsibilities serve as an avenue for affirmative
action plans taskforces, diversity training, and evaluation programs to target disadvantaged
groups and other minority communities that are socially isolated to be a network of opportunity
for marginalized communities to climb the management ladder to help increase career trajectory
and other workplace functions inside the political administrative state to reduce organizational-
political inequality by fostering specialized goals to achieve inclusion goals and other “marginal”
approaches to increase power and influence (Kalev, A., Kelly, E., & Dobbin, F., 2006, p. 589-
617). Moreover, these inclusion goals create less exclusion in political administrative workplaces
and produce greater managerial training to increase diversity within a political system (Kalev,
A., Kelly, E., & Dobbin, F., 2006, p. 589-617). Furthermore, greater inclusion creates increased
engagement to structure greater organizational capacity in the form of increased alliances and

14. specific-interests in establishing further support and empowerment to diverse communities
(Browers, M., 2006, p. 8-34, 156).
Greater socio-political inclusion creates dialogue and discourse within a political system.
This type of political activity creates margin frames to establish engagement to reduce
oppression and expand power and influence features within a political system to reduce
repressive methods of discourse a violence that lead to horrible atrocities such as those of the
Six-Day war of 1967 in the Middle East (Browers, M., 2006, p. 8-34, 156). In addition, these
engagement activities foster political dialogue, institutional arrangements such as conferences,
structured committees, and other formal dialogues to increase political participation and other
discourse activities that produce effective outcomes for marginalized groups to create greater
civility within weak political administrative states to create meaningful political action that shifts
realignment attitudes and generates greater unity and political order with a political system
(Browers, M., 2006, p. 8-34, 156). In sum, greater unity and political order increases political
power and influence within a political system because it expands the political administrative
state’s authority in distributing resources, support systems, and other organizational attributes to
help achieve rationale goals and relative gains to make sure diversity is spread in an equitable
way within a political system that shares all ideological concerns and political attitudes to make
sure all “margins” are represented to help establish a strong political self-determinate democracy
that reflects increased economic marginalization of all talents to help shape the utmost
representative form of the political administrative state.
