This document provides an overview and analysis of the political cultures in Missouri and Illinois based on the scholarship of Daniel Elazar. It examines key differences between the two states, describing Missouri's culture as "traditionalistic" with an emphasis on interpersonal relationships, social hierarchy, and maintaining the status quo, while Illinois has a more "individualistic" culture centered around democracy, laissez-faire politics, and has historically struggled with corruption. The document also notes some challenges faced by the bi-state St. Louis region and opportunities for cooperation between Missouri and Illinois.

2) Perspectives on the stratification of gender including functionalist, conflict, and feminist views of the unequal power dynamics between men and women.
3) Data showing women remain in subordinate positions globally and the "second shift" burden they face with unpaid domestic work.
4) Demographic trends in aging populations worldwide and theories explaining adjustment to aging.
Chapter10
This document provides an overview of concepts related to racial and ethnic inequality. It discusses key terms like minority groups, racial groups, and ethnic groups. It also examines prejudice and discrimination, and how they are studied. Patterns of intergroup relations in the US are reviewed, including segregation and pluralism. Specific racial and ethnic groups in the US are also described, including policies around immigration and diversity.
Chapter14

POL 222 Ch 3
This document discusses the rise of political party machines in large American cities in the late 19th century. It describes how machines filled a governance void as cities grew rapidly through immigration and industrialization. Machines provided patronage and services to immigrant groups in exchange for bloc voting. The bosses who led machines amassed wealth and power by controlling contracts, licenses, and jobs. Over time, reformers challenged machine rule due to concerns over corruption and lack of representation. The document uses historical examples like Boss Crump in Memphis to illustrate how machines maintained political control.

The document discusses how the US political and economic systems are biased in favor of wealthy and powerful interests. It argues that monopolistic capitalism has led to concentration of corporate wealth. Government is influenced by interest groups and campaign financing from wealthy donors and corporations. This limits policy options and ensures policies benefit powerful groups. The political system and systemic imperatives reinforce the status quo and power of elites. Ordinary citizens have less representation, while corporations receive subsidies and policies are made to benefit corporate interests at home and abroad, often at the expense of disadvantaged groups.
Civil Rights = Labor Unions
I will explore the relative connection between minorities and union privatization. I believe a majority of minority membership has supported the privatization campaign.
Eitzen13e.chapter6.lecture.ppt 193988
The document discusses social problems related to different types of places in the United States: urban areas face issues like job loss, poverty, decaying infrastructure, and crime while struggling with disinvestment; suburban areas deal with problems stemming from sprawl like isolation and automobile dependency; and rural locales contend with poverty, lack of adequate healthcare, and declining small towns as jobs in farming dwindle.

Chapter15b
Early communities formed around agriculture, which allowed people to settle instead of constantly moving. Preindustrial cities remained small due to reliance on animal power, limited surplus, and difficulties with transportation and food storage. The Industrial Revolution led to larger industrial cities with more open class systems and mobility. Postindustrial cities in the late 20th century were based on finance, information flow, and decentralized production. Addressing population growth through policies that encourage family planning and contraception has been controversial globally due to cultural and political sensitivities.
Presentation science politic
The statement that states are no longer dominant players in international relations requires consideration of several factors affecting states' roles. First, the rise of international organizations has increased the number of key global and regional actors beyond just states. Second, transnational issues like crime, ethnonational movements, and prominent leaders have challenged states' control and posed new difficulties. Finally, the growing influence of regional organizations and non-state groups indicates states must share influence with other entities in today's global landscape.

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.
Social policy week 4
Social policy in the United States has been shaped by historical trends and continues to impact present issues. Key movements discussed include the Child Saving Movement, Settlement House Movement, New Deal programs, Civil Rights Movement, War on Poverty, and Women's Movement. These aimed to address issues like poverty, racism, gender inequality, and rights of marginalized groups. However, unfinished business remains regarding voting rights, economic opportunity, and other social justice issues.
Political Inequality and the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election
This document defines political inequality and power inequality, and discusses their relevance to the 2008 U.S. presidential election. It outlines two approaches to defining power inequality and describes political inequality as differences between groups in influencing decision-making bodies. The APSA Task Force on Inequality identified three forms of political inequality: differences in citizen voice, government responsiveness, and patterns of public policymaking.
John A Powell Presentation Aug 26
This document discusses structural racialization and how racial disparities persist even as explicit racist attitudes and laws have declined. It argues that seemingly neutral policies and institutions can reproduce racial inequalities without racial intent. It provides examples of persistent racial disparities in areas like unemployment, incarceration, income, wealth, and concentrated poverty. It advocates using a structural perspective and systems thinking to understand how disparate impacts accumulate over time through mutually reinforcing relationships between policies, institutions, and spatial aspects of opportunity. Transformational change is needed that addresses implicit biases and links individual and community fates rather than viewing them in isolation.
Power along the Mekong - Andrew Bartlett
- The document discusses power dynamics along the Mekong River region, including historical contexts of feudalism, colonialism, and current issues regarding economic, political, and knowledge power.
- Key issues discussed include land access and resource rights, limitations on civil society and independent organizing in Laos and Vietnam, and opportunities for new media like mobile phones and the internet to promote pluralism.
- Looking ahead, the document envisions a more pluralistic and open society for the region, with responsive government and political transparency, in contrast to past authoritarian systems.

Effects of Globaliztion on Transgenders
Emerging economies like India are experiencing mobilization of third gender and sexual identity politics raising fundamental questions of citizenship, human rights, cultural identity and tradition. With economic globalization in the developing world, a Western, hegemonic notion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) identity has been exported to traditional societies thereby destroying indigenous sexual cultures and diversities. This paper aims at exploring the effects of globalization and colonization in developing world with special reference to India.
After briefly describing the globalization in general, this paper examines the tradition of trans genders prevailed in India in relation to the pre-colonial era and forces of neoliberal globalization. The twin-process of globalization and colonization has significantly influenced the acceptance of hijra communities in Indian society, while simultaneously strengthening the view of Western historians and scholars.
The great migration
The document discusses the Great Migration of African Americans from 1910-1930. Over 1.75 million black people migrated from the southern states to the Midwest, Northwest, and western parts of the country to escape racism and find work in industrial cities. Racial tensions increased as the black population grew at 40% while competing for jobs and housing with white immigrants. Though discrimination continued, the migration opened more opportunities for work, education, and voting that helped black communities develop while reducing differences between racial groups over time.
Class X Democracy and Diversity Notes
The document discusses social divisions and differences in democracy. It provides examples of how three athletes - Tommie Smith, Peter Norman and John Carlos - protested racial discrimination at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics by raising their fists during the medal ceremony. Their actions drew international attention to the civil rights movement in the US. The document also discusses the differences between civil rights and black power movements, how social differences originate, and factors that influence the political expression of social divisions, including examples from Northern Ireland, Yugoslavia, and other countries.
Liberia's Bureacratic Reforms
This document outlines the historical background and evolution of public administration reform in Liberia. It discusses how Liberia was founded by freed black slaves from the US and gained independence in 1847. It then experienced a 14-year civil war until recent reforms under President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. The document reviews global experiences with reform and outlines challenges facing Liberia, including corruption and capacity issues. It identifies reform areas such as strengthening institutions, enacting anti-corruption laws, and improving fiscal management. The goal of reforms is to establish good governance, accountability, and economic growth in post-conflict Liberia.
Democrats and Republicans
This document summarizes the key differences between the Democratic and Republican parties in the United States. It outlines the core constituencies and beliefs of each party. Democrats believe in redistributing wealth through government programs and regulating personal behavior. Their coalition includes minorities, union members, feminists, and environmentalists. Republicans believe in limited government intervention in both economic and social spheres. They advocate for free market principles and personal responsibility. Their supporters include rural residents, veterans, and religious conservatives. The document also lists some general tendencies of each party on issues like spending, taxation, health care and gun control.
Best Audiobooks App Dismantling America
Thomas Sowell's collection of essays discusses the decline of American values and institutions through the deliberate dismantling of traditions and the will of the people. The underlying theme across issues like bailouts, immigration, marriage, and security is whether America is degenerating from the values expected to be passed down. There are determined efforts to change what is seen as fundamentally wrong with America's history, laws, and role in the world. The next election may be the last chance to stop those dismantling America before the country passes a point of no return.

The document compares the development of Atlanta and Birmingham after the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. Atlanta had a more racially diverse population and business community that grudgingly complied with desegregation earlier. Birmingham had a segregated power structure dominated by industrial leaders that resisted integration and encouraged racial tensions. As a result, Atlanta's economy and population grew rapidly while Birmingham declined, with Atlanta becoming a model of Southern progressiveness in comparison.

Sociologists have shifted their views on social problems over time. Initially, social problems were seen as individual pathologies, but now they are understood in their social context. There are two main types of social problems - norm violations and harmful social conditions. For social conditions, sociologists examine how power and resources are distributed in society and who benefits from and is harmed by existing social arrangements. The sociological imagination allows us to see how broader social forces influence individual experiences. When studying social problems, sociologists aim to remain objective but recognize that complete neutrality is impossible. They use various research methods like surveys, experiments, observation and existing data.

The document discusses several issues related to economic inequality along racial, gender, and other lines:
1) It describes the job crisis facing African American women, who are overrepresented in low-wage work and face both racial and gender wage gaps.
2) It discusses efforts to pass a Domestic Workers Bill of Rights to protect the labor rights of domestic workers, who are predominantly women of color.
3) It notes that the funding disparities between wealthy, white suburban schools and underfunded urban schools that serve students of color described in "Savage Inequalities" have not changed significantly.
4) Fresh foods remain more expensive than highly processed foods, impacting nutrition for low-income individuals.
Democracy and diversity ppt
This document summarizes the 1968 Olympics medal ceremony protest by Tommie Smith and John Carlos for racial equality. It discusses:
1) How Smith and Carlos wore black gloves and no shoes on the podium to protest racial discrimination, while Peter Norman of Australia supported them by wearing a human rights badge.
2) This protest drew attention to the ongoing Civil Rights Movement in the US which sought to end racial discrimination against African Americans from 1954 to 1968 through non-violent protests led by Martin Luther King Jr.
3) The protest was an important event that highlighted racial issues during a time of social upheaval and calls for social justice in the 1960s.
Comparison Chart: Jeffersonian Democracy vs. Jacksonian Democracy
Jeffersonian democracy referred to Thomas Jefferson's time in office and emphasized idealism and a strict interpretation of the Constitution. Jacksonian democracy arose later in response to changes in laws and attitudes and focused more on the common man and agriculture. Both aimed for no government favoritism toward the rich and a belief in freedom and equality for all men, though they differed on economic policies like Hamilton's bank.
Phresh Fish Denim Co.
The document proposes a fashion brand concept called "Phresh Fish Denim" inspired by koi fish, Japanese culture, and fish markets. The brand aims to create an "urban fish market" shopping experience for its target market of fashion-forward 20-30 year olds living in urban areas. Jeans and other apparel would feature koi-inspired designs and colors. Stores would have a lively atmosphere with fish tanks, ponds, and water features to match the fishing market theme.

It also examines the rise and influence of the conservative "Moral Majority" movement in the 1980 election and their opposition to issues like abortion, homosexuality, and the teaching of evolution in schools. The document then discusses the impact of various social and technological changes like television, newspapers, movies, and higher education on American politics and society since World War 2.

Somewhere between Jim Crow &
Post-Racialism: Reflections on the
Racial Divide in America Today

fessor of the Social Sciences at
Harvard University and a found-

In assessing the results of the Negro revolution so
far, it can be concluded that Negroes have estab-
lished a foothold, no more. We have written a Dec-
laration of Independence, itself an accomplishment,
but the effort to transform the words into a life ex-
perience still lies ahead.
–Martin Luther King, Jr., Where Do We Go
From Here? (1968)
By the middle of the twentieth century, the color
line was as well de½ned and as ½rmly entrenched
as any institution in the land. After all, it was older
than most institutions, including the federal govern-
ment itself. More important, it informed the con-
tent and shaped the lives of those institutions and
the people who lived under them.
–John Hope Franklin, The Color Line (1993)
This is where we are right now. It’s a racial stale-
mate we’ve been stuck in for years. Contrary to
the claims of some of my critics, black and white,
I have never been so naive as to believe that we can
get beyond our racial divisions in a single election
cycle, or with a single candidacy–particularly a
candidacy as imperfect as my own.
–Barack H. Obama, “A More Perfect Union”
(May 18, 2008)1
The year 1965 marked an important inflection
point in the struggle for racial justice in the Unit-
ed States, underscoring two fundamental points
11
about race in America.2 First, that racial
inequality and division were not only
Southern problems attached to Jim Crow
segregation. Second, that the nature of
those inequalities and divisions was a
matter not merely of formal civil status
and law, but also of deeply etched eco-
nomic arrangements, social and politi-
cal conditions, and cultural outlooks
and practices. Viewed in full, the racial
divide was a challenge of truly national
reach, multilayered in its complexity
and depth. Therefore, the achievement
of basic citizenship rights in the South
was a pivotal but far from exhaustive
stage of the struggle.
The positive trend of the times revolved
around the achievement of voting rights.
March 7, 1965, now known as Bloody Sun-
day, saw police and state troopers attack
several hundred peaceful civil rights pro-
testors at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in
Selma, Alabama. The subsequent march
from Selma to Montgomery, participat-
ed in by tens of thousands, along with
other protest act.
Why nations-fail j-robinson
This document summarizes a presentation given by James Robinson on the book Why Nations Fail. It discusses three key topics:
1. The origins of institutional differences between nations, tracing how extractive institutions emerged in Latin America under Spanish colonization focused on resource extraction, while more inclusive institutions developed in the early United States and Britain.
2. The concepts of inclusive and extractive political and economic institutions and how inclusive institutions encourage growth while extractive institutions face resistance from economic and political elites benefiting from the status quo.
3. Examples of how small differences in early institutions and critical junctures can lead to divergence, as well as the difficulty but importance of transitioning to more inclusive institutions through broad political coal
America’s Racially Diverse Suburbs Opportunities and Chal.docx
Racially diverse suburbs are growing faster than predominantly white suburbs. 44% of residents in the largest 50 US metro areas live in racially integrated suburbs that are 20-60% non-white. These communities represent opportunities for different races to live and govern together, but also face challenges to remaining stable and integrated. Failure to support these communities could undermine the nation's economic and political future success in an increasingly diverse country.

It May Not Work in Politics
The American political system has many great parts and pieces that come together to help bring a strong government for the people. It also has many pieces that do not work and need change or reform. These areas that need work are interesting as each person might have a different view on if that part is working properly or not.
Congressional Ethics
Congressional ethics has been built into the system from the very beginning. The framers of our country believed that the members of Congress to be trustworthy people but knew that some would not be so, in turn they built a system of checks and balances. With Congressional members being charged and convicted of ethical violations throughout the years “the House and Senate have steadily tightened their ethics rules to the point that today members can rarely accept anything from anybody, except for regulated campaign contributions” (Wilson, Dilulio, & Bose, 2013).
One particular example is Rep Charles Rangel, who is a member of Congress for the 13th district of New York. Rep Charles Rangel “was until his recent troubles one of the House's most powerful members, was found guilty Tuesday of breaking 11 separate Congressional rules related to his personal finances and his fundraising efforts for a New York college” (Kane, 2010). Some of the charges were that he used his rent controlled buildings in Harlem as housing locations for his political committees, didn’t pay taxes on a home he owns in the Dominican Republic, and not properly disclosing personal finances. Another charge was using his name and letterhead to help raise funds for a college in New York, while sounding nice is still an ethical violation.
Rep Charles Rangel was convicted and then was censured, the 23rd member of Congress to be censured. Being censured is the second harshest penalty available by Congress, expulsion is the strongest possible penalty. I agree with the outcome as he violated the ethical guidelines set forth by Congress. Being censured does not remove him from his seat or his office but is logged and documented the violations he committed as he continues his term. The amount of violations he committed with the evidence provided it is a fitting punishment. While trying to defend himself he brought up the charges that caused other members of Congress to be censured and his were a different level of infractions but infractions none the less.
Third Party Candidates
“Often seen as "spoilers" for candidates in mainstream parties, third-party candidates are nothing new in presidential elections” (Liptak, 2012). The United States hasn’t had a non-Republican or Democratic President since Andrew Johnson in the 1800s. Independent or third party candidates have difficulty raising funds, finding a candidate that will run outside of the power .

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

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.
