The document discusses political inequality and how it relates to economic and social inequalities in the United States. It summarizes research from the American Political Science Association Task Force that found rising economic inequality and existing racial/gender inequalities influence who makes political decisions and what decisions are made. The research also found that Senators are more responsive to affluent constituents than those with modest means, and that views of constituents in the bottom third of incomes receive no consideration in the policymaking process.

Response 1:
For me, this weeks’ readings were more difficult than last weeks. Human right is such a powerful subject because, in my view, it’s a big “What’s in it for me”? “There was outrage about the Holocaust, but the fact is that genocide and crimes against humanity were integral to European colonization of the 18th through 20th centuries” (Benjamin 2009). I keep circling back to this point as Western Democracies hold themselves in such esteem, a vast majority of issues were self-created through colonization. Only four of the worlds’ countries were not colonized by Europe; Japan, Korea, Thailand, Liberia (Fisher 2015). I believe that legacy of living under forced rule creates a deep, systemic culture of potential abuse. The 2020 Human Rights Watch world reports identifies human rights violations or notable situations in120 nations or 61 percent of all countries (Human Rights Watch 2020). As complete as that sounds, it further reports more situation under investigation (ibid). It includes the United States for its criminal legal system (death penalty, racial disparity of incarcerated), juveniles in the court system, racial justice and policing and on and on. Going back further in our history, our genocide against the Native American population and the linkage between Nazi Germany patterning its Nuremburg Laws after our Jim Crow laws (Rose 2018) should give us pause for thought on why this is so important and how committed we should be to the cause. How did the United States escape shame and punishment for its own apartheid with Jim Crow when South Africa did not? So, we ask how we determine if human rights IOs are effective? Big issues like genocide, famine, displacement, refugees, make headlines, create some international action but then fade into the former news cycle. Human Rights Watch (HRW) provides an annual report on global issues. But how many people know what HRW is? This comes across as rather jaded and I suppose it is a realist point of view as only the strongest survive and nations only act when they can get something in return. Agreeing to human rights treaties offers nothing in return aside from the satisfaction of standing up for other humans.
Hathaway (2007) considers important factors of why states agree to human rights treaties. I find it obvious that less than democratic countries with poor human rights records buck these types of treaties because they have no foundational respect for human rights. The observation, “formal international legal enforcement of the treaties is minimal to nonexistent” Merry (2006), reminds me of Robin Williams describing how the police in the UK stop a crime by saying, “Stop, or I’ll say stop again!” (Williams 1986). It goes back to my original question of what is in it for me? Is naming and shaming the best route (Meernik, et al. 2012)? Is it the boomerang theory? IOs have made strides in broadening our understanding of human rights.

SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 1
Understanding politics is a matter of self-interest. By exploring politics, we gain a better appreciation of what is—and what is not—in the public interest.
This chapter focuses on three fundamental concepts: power, order, and justice. It also explores the interrelationships between power and order, order and justice, and justice and power.
Political power can be defined as the capacity to maintain order in society. Whenever governments promulgate new laws or sign treaties or go to war, they are exercising political power. Whenever we pay our taxes, put money in a parking meter, or remove our shoes prior to boarding an airplane, we, in effect, bow to the power of government.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

1. The Ohio State University Sociology 345: Contemporary American Society Spring 2011 Instructor: Joshua Kjerulf Dubrow Lecture: Democratic America and Political Inequality
2. What is Inequality? Inequality is a situation in which people have unequal access to scarce and valued resources in society. Inequality is a social structure: it existed before societal members were born and will likely persist well after they die, and no one individual can change it.
3. Political inequality is structured differences in who influences the decisions of decision-makers. Decision-makers can be school councils, local government, state government and federal government (anyplace where politically-based decisions are made). Power is a situation in which people have the ability to realize their wants, desires and needs even though others oppose them.
4. POLITICAL INEQUALITY VOICE RESPONSE Participation Representation Electoral Non-Electoral Symbolic Policy Formal Informal Government Non-Governmental
5. American Political Science Association Task Force on Inequality and American Democracy (2004) : I deals of democracy “may be under growing threat in an era of persistent and rising inequalities.” The They argue that (a) economic inequality is rising, (b) racial and gender inequalities exist, and (c) these inequalities influence who makes the decisions, and what decisions are made, in government.

7. “ There are different ways of trying to improve things in [name of a country] or help prevent things from going wrong. During the last 12 months, have you done any of the following? Have you: (a) contacted a politician, government or local government official? (b) worked in a political party or action group? (c) worked in another organization or association? (d) worn or displayed a campaign badge/sticker? (e) signed a petition? (f) taken part in a lawful public demonstration? (g) boycotted certain products?” Round 4 (2008) 25 Countries

13. “ Using both summary measures of senators’ voting patterns and specific roll call votes on the minimum wage, civil rights, government spending, and abortion, I find that senators in this period were vastly more responsive to affluent constituents than to constituents of modest means… views of constituents in the upper third of the income distribution received about 50% more weight than those in the middle third, with even larger disparities on specific salient roll call votes. Meanwhile, the views of constituents in the bottom third of the income distribution received no weight at all in the voting decisions of their senators. Far from being “considered as political equals,” they were entirely unconsidered in the policy-making process” (253-4).
