Kenlee Walters is majoring in Early Childhood Education and plans to become a kindergarten teacher after graduating. She votes in elections to have a say in what happens and believes every vote matters. She has learned a lot about the roles and responsibilities of Texas government officials this semester, such as the governor having more power than she realized. One of the biggest political issues is what to do about the death penalty, and she thinks it should be abolished because it goes against the 10 Commandments prohibition of murder.

Where i am on the political and economical spectrum
Lindsay Brown believes they are on the right side of the political and economic spectrum based on their beliefs. They believe change should only happen through thoughtful debate and discussion. They agree individuals have equal opportunity for success or failure based on their own choices and efforts, not their background. While government should keep people safe, it also needs oversight to protect individual freedoms. Crime requires punishment proportional to the law broken. Higher taxes are not fair as the wealthy earned their money and should choose how to help others.
Immigration paper
The document discusses issues around immigration in the United States. While acknowledging concerns about illegal immigration, the author believes that children born in the US to illegal immigrant parents should be allowed to stay and that illegal immigrants who are found should have the opportunity to become citizens if they pass a citizenship test and commit to working and contributing to the US. Overall, the author recognizes there are complex issues around immigration laws and policies with no definite solution, but illegal immigrants deserve a fair chance to live in the US if they follow the rules.

The students chose a democratic form of government for their island, where major rules will be decided by votes of the citizens. Boys are responsible for tasks like gathering food, building shelter, and exploring the island while girls are responsible for cooking, fishing, and caring for the sick. If duties are completed early, residents must help others with their duties, and they have free time afterward if all duties are done. Breaking rules results in extra work or making one's own food and shelter for a week. Each month the group will discuss and vote on any new rules to keep the island respectful and ensure all get along.

13 Things the Government doesn´t want you to know

It begins by asserting that government workers are just human beings, not supreme beings, and outlines strategies for successfully challenging them by questioning their authority and knowledge. It notes that the power government claims comes from words, and that their definitions and meanings of key words can be deceiving and different than what people expect. Understanding the true meanings of words used in statutes and policies can reveal deception and undermine the motivation of government workers to impose rules and regulations.

My solution to illegal immigration
The document discusses views on illegal immigration. It argues that while everyone should have the right to come to America, rules and laws around immigration need to be enforced.

However, immigrants should not be required to speak English. The document concludes that enforcing current laws more strictly, including deporting more unlawful immigrants, is the best solution.

Justice
Justice involves treating all people equally and fairly regardless of attributes like height, size, age, name, parents, or appearance. It means respecting the rights of others by listening to different opinions without judgment, taking turns, following rules, and not taking advantage of or blaming others. To act with justice, one investigates truth independently, avoids gossip, stands up for rights, and affirms that justice is necessary for peace in a nation.
Fredom
The document discusses the relationship between freedom and responsibility. It argues that while people have been given free will, exercising that freedom without responsibility can be dangerous and undermine society. When people are freely allowed to say whatever they want without considering how it might affect others, their words can become inconsiderate and disrespectful over time. Absolute freedom without limitations is problematic and can destroy basic social principles if responsibilities are not acknowledged. True freedom requires that individuals accept the consequences of their actions and not infringe on the freedoms of others.

A key lesson was realizing how important voting is at the state and local level, not just federal, and to do their own research rather than believing social media posts without fact checking.

She was also surprised by the limited power of minor political parties and differences in how local governments operate. Crislynn thinks the two-party system creates unnecessary divisions and hopes future generations can address this issue.
Brittney Engelken PIP.pptx
Brittney Engelken is a registered nurse who discusses why she engages in politics for her children, other women, and to represent change. She wants her children to be active and informed citizens even if they disagree. She advocates for women's rights including reproductive care, equal rights, equal pay, and bodily autonomy. Engelken believes change happens through active participation in local, state, and federal politics through voting, research, and informed decisions.
She has learned about checks and balances between the three branches of government and their distinct powers. Engelken was surprised by social media's role in politics and how common executive orders are now compared to earlier presidents. She found federalism and its impact on the pandemic

Lillyan McDaniel is majoring in Business. She is motivated to be involved in politics due to equality issues like the new abortion law, which she disagrees with. She believes everyone should be treated equally regardless of attributes like race, religion, gender or wealth. She was surprised to learn about the high criminal rate in Texas and that the death penalty costs more than claimed but is still used. She thinks future generations need to know that Texas may turn Democratic or third party to gain more personal freedom and less government control. She feels Texas does not influence policy as much as believed but reopening may have impacted federal COVID decisions. Key lessons from the course were about the death penalty, reasons for Texas potentially turning blue, and

Texas gov haileyw
Hailey Watson is a science and mathematics major who is motivated to vote to fulfill her civic duty and exercise her right to vote. She agrees with most Texas policies like open carry and capital punishment. The biggest future political issue for Texas is immigration as it is a border state dealing with illegal immigration. Texas influences federal decision making because it has a large population and is well known, making it difficult to go against its strong political views. Lessons Hailey will carry forward include knowledge of local government, state policies, and Texas' political culture.
Participation in Politics
Briana Chavez is a senior who plans to study Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M University. She is motivated to vote because she wants to elect candidates who will help make the nation safe and full of opportunities. While she understands concerns about illegal immigration, she does not think a border wall is the best solution and believes there are better ways to handle the issue. Briana also likes how social media allows younger generations to stay updated on political issues. The course surprised her by teaching her about the Supreme Court case Wickard v. Filburn, which she now understands well after writing a reflection on it. She thinks abortion is an important political issue today and the First Amendment is critical to allowing people to freely express

Texas government final
Courtney discusses her views on abortion in three sentences:
She believes abortion should be legal and that the government should not be able to dictate what a woman does with her body. While she does not think abortion should be used as birth control, she thinks there are circumstances like rape, unplanned teen pregnancy, or health issues that warrant abortion. Laws around gestational limits seem fair to her but she feels religion, morals and politics should not be mixed on this issue.
Participation in Politics Project from Misty Shires
The document discusses a student named Misty Shires who is majoring in geophysics. She took a class on government that increased her interest in politics and motivated her to vote.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Texas government presentation
- 2. Kenlee Walters Major I am currently in school to get an Early Childhood Education major. My plans are to graduate and become a kindergarten teacher.
- 3. Being an Active Participant One way to be an active participant in the Political system is to vote during elections. The reason why I vote is because I want to put my say in everything that happens around me. Some people say one vote doesn’t matter but what if the election comes down to a one vote difference? Everyone’s vote matters.
- 4. Things I Have Learned I have learned so many things about Texas Government this semester that I had not ever known before. One of the many things I learned is what roles certain people play in our state. For example, the governor has more power and responsibilities than I ever thought they did. I honestly didn’t think they had much to do but it turns out they have many responsibilities.
- 5. Biggest Political Issue In my opinion one of the biggest political issues that future generations really need to decide is what to do about the death penalty. If we are going to end it then we need to do it as soon as possible because there is no need to spend more money on it if it’s going away. I believe that we should do away with the death penalty because it goes against the 10 commandments. The 6th commandment says “thou shall not murder.” So therefore, I think that making prisoners spend life in prison for the rest of their lives is a much better consequence.
- 6. What Role Does Texas Play? Texas is an extremely large state. So because it’s so big, we get the second most people to vote for us in congress. Texas gets 38 electoral votes.
- 7. Things to Take with Me One of the many things I will be able to take with me this semester is how to be very active in the political system and how it really will make a difference. Another thing I will be able to take with me to the real world outside of college is the knowledge that I have received of the Texas Government system. Before, I never knew anything about the Texas Government system because I never paid attention. But now, I will be able to not only be able to know what is going on around me but I can tell others.
