Justify your rationale. · Give your opinion of two (2) currently used policy prescriptions, using international relations paradigms, which you believe will impact the U.S. domestic policy over the next two years. Justify your response. Reading: · Theories of International Relations: Realism and Liberalism This week we will begin by examining realism and liberalism, which are two of the major paradigms of international relations. Realism focuses on the problems of international conflict. All realist theories share four central assumptions. First, realism places immense emphasis on the idea that international politics is anarchic. An anarchic system creates a security dilemma, where states are forced to arm themselves, but this can lead to an arms race. A second assumption of realism is that states are the central actors in international politics. Third, realists view states as unitary actors or as a single coherent entity. Fourth, realists assume that state behavior is rational. Within the realist paradigm, it is also important to understand that the distribution of power is the most important force in international politics. Because power plays a central role in realist theories, defining and measuring power are critical. Both military power and economic power are important to any understanding of realism. One variant of realism is balance of power theory, which suggests that power will be relatively evenly distributed in the world because states will counter each other’s attempts to dominate. Another variant of realism is hegemonic stability theory. This theory contradicts balance of power theory because it argues that stability results not from a balance among the great powers, but from unipolarity where one dominant state ensures some degree of order in the system. Realism is criticized for a variety of reasons. First, some believe that anarchy is simply an historical circumstance, which may now be replaced by another condition. Second, some believe that it is no longer valid to focus exclusively on the state, because nonstate actors are becoming increasingly important. A third criticism focuses on the assumption that the state is unitary and rational. Many reject this hypothesis, arguing instead that there are many different variables that influence a state’s foreign policy. Liberalism is another major paradigm within international relations. Liberalism centers on the rights of the individual, arguing.

teofilapeerless

Question 1: This week we have studied art that is produced by cultures very different from our own. Without a cultural frame of reference it is often challenging for us to gain an understanding or even an appreciation of a work of art that reflects a visual aesthetic that is different. In 3 well developed paragraphs, discuss: In what specific ways is our understanding of a work of art dependent on an understanding of the religious and cultural beliefs from which the work arose? What can we assume about a work of art without such knowledge? Looking at a work of art such as the Taj Mahal , which is the world’s most recognized building, how does not knowing the story or context for its construction shape our perception of this as a master work of art? How does your perception change of this structure once you know the story and reasons for its construction? Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas. Question 2: All of the cultures that we have looked at this week built architectural monuments, but few have survived intact. Often these monuments embody the social, spiritual, political and religious ideas of the culture that created it. One of the few to have survived is the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. In 3 well developed paragraphs, discuss: What was the function of the Forbidden City? How was it designed to reflect the social hierarchies of the Ming dynasty? What other monumental work of architecture did you learn about this week that also reflects these concerns and how? Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas. .

Sandy Millin

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024 Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error. Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials. This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...

Levi Shapiro

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg, The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation. This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability. Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots. The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee. • The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act. • The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X. • The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative

Peter Windle

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

1. QUESTION: The BP Pipeline case is a complex situational case about the actions of individuals and the practices of a large corporation. At the heart of the dispute over whether or not BP acted with gross negligence and wilful misconduct in the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster is the “swiss cheese” model of complex accidents. Hazardous activities are guarded against by multiple barriers and so long as any failures are scattered through them, the system as a whole will avoid an accident. Research more into this topic and p repare a 2-3 page paper that adequately addresses the the ethical and environmental issues in this case. Be sure to s ummarize the BP Pipeline Case regarding Ethical Behaviors and Decision-Making.
