1 Identify a current or proposed state or national social welfare policy bill. Be specific; give name and number of the bill/proposed policy. Is this state or national level policy? If a state policy, what state? Driver Education/Enforcement of the Law House Bill 21 DRH40015-MK-5A is titled Stop. This is a state law, not a federal one. North Carolina legislators were in charge of writing the legislation. 2. Briefly describe in your own words the intended goal or purpose of this policy? To begin, I'd want to emphasize that this is my first opportunity to learn about this legislation, but I'm impressed by the stated goal. As a result, the purpose of this policy is to educate drivers on what to do if they are pulled over by cops. As a result, the proponents of the bill want the procedures to be included in the driver's education textbook. Comment by Laura Parker: Omit all references to “I”. This is a research paper. Report what you find. Note, as a research paper, this paper is also not asking for your opinions, it is asking what others [key players] said about this bill. In the final paper, the only place that I should find your opinion is in the final section of the paper – Questions for further thought. 3. When was the last action taken on this bill? Has it already passed both houses to become law? The bill passed the Senate's first and second readings on June 22, 2017, but it has yet to complete the third reading. It was passed by the House of Representatives on June 27th and signed by the governor the same day. The governor had signed the bill into law as of July 12, 2017, which was the most recent development. Comment by Laura Parker: Not all bills require a third reading. Are you saying that this is the day that the bill was passed in the Senate? It cannot move to the House or be signed by the Governor if it has not passed in the Senate. Comment by Laura Parker: So, this is the last action taken on the bill. It is not state law. 4. Who is/was the sponsor of this bill? Is the identified person affiliated with the Republican or Democratic party? Republicans and Democrats have both signed on as co-sponsors of this bill, which has bipartisan support. More than a dozen people have agreed to sponsor the event: Allen McNeill, Beverly Earle, John Ager, Mary Belk, Cecil Brockman, Becky Carney, Debra Conrad, Rosa Gill, George Graham, and others. Comment by Laura Parker: Who is the primary sponsor? The sponsor of a bill is the individual who introduced the bill in Chamber. 5. Identify and briefly describe one Internet website that is useful for finding information related to your identified policy. Include the name of the site and a URL/address. Your chosen website should provide a direct link to the legislation you have identified. Examples for national level policy include the Library of Congress and govtrack.us. State level legislation can generally be found on the state legislative home page of the particular state. Briefly describe some ...

ask an expert www.NursingMadeIncrediblyEasy.com January/February 2017 Nursing made Incredibly Easy! 55 Be a legislative advocate By Lisa Lockhart, MHA, MSN, RN, NE-BC Q: As nurses, when we feel strongly about a practice issue, should we consider lobbying? A: The American Nurses Association (ANA) believes that it’s our responsibility as nursing professionals to be involved in advocating for patient safety, care stan- dards, and healthy work environments. The ANA is a strong voice for America’s nurses and is among the most powerful lobbying groups in Washington, D.C. Not alone in its fi ght for nursing quality and safety, the ANA is joined and supported by our professional organizations, state boards of nursing, and advocacy groups. These include the American Academy of Nursing, the American Nurses Credential- ing Center, and the American Nurses Foundation. Participating in your local, specialty, or state organizations can help you give voice to your concerns as an engaged professional. You have the ability to build, shape, and alter current laws, effectively changing legislation by joining forces with your peers. To simply complain about staffi ng ratios, the Affordable Care Act, and unhealthy work environments is just that—complaining. But by being involved, we have a large and potentially powerful voice for safety and quality when you consider that we’re 3.6 million strong! Our power as an educated workforce must be harnessed and used purposefully to effect change. The Institute of Medicine and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation understood this when they launched The Future of Nursing report. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to go to Washington and lobby; it means advocating at the organizational, state, or federal level. Stay abreast of what’s going on in your state and nationally, be an active participant in professional organizations, vote for legislators who share your healthcare policy and regulation views, and join internal committees where nurses at your facility review policies and procedures. You can make a difference. If you decide to give lobbying a try, here are tips on how to lobby Congress from the American Academy of Ambulatory Nursing: “• keep it short and to the point • don’t forget to say ‘thank you’ • get to know the legislator’s staff (It’s frequently more productive to speak to a staff member than the lawmakers themselves.) • tell the whole story by acknowledging when something is diffi cult and when there’s opposition • timing is everything (It’s important to know Congressional procedures, so men- tion proper deadlines and don’t ask for requests at the last minute.) • have a one-page written draft of what you want available to leave or send to the legislator • be professional even when the answer is ‘no;’ regroup and wait for another chance.” ■ REFERENCES American Nurses Associ.

Assignment: Legislation Grid and Testimony/Advocacy Statement As a nurse, how often have you thought to yourself, If I had anything to do about it, things would work a little differently? Increasingly, nurses are beginning to realize that they do, in fact, have a role and a voice. Many nurses encounter daily experiences that motivate them to take on an advocacy role in hopes of impacting policies, laws, or regulations that impact healthcare issues of interest. Of course, doing so means entering the less familiar world of policy and politics. While many nurses do not initially feel prepared to operate in this space effectively, the reward is the opportunity to shape and influence future health policy. To Prepare: Select a bill that has been proposed (not one that has been enacted) using the congressional websites provided in the Learning Resources. The Assignment: (1- to 2-page Legislation Grid; 1-page Legislation Testimony/Advocacy Statement) Be sure to add a title page, an introduction, purpose statement, and a conclusion. This is an APA paper. Part 1: Legislation Grid Based on the health-related bill (proposed, not enacted) you selected, complete the Legislation Grid Template. Be sure to address the following: Determine the legislative intent of the bill you have reviewed. Identify the proponents/opponents of the bill. Identify the target populations addressed by the bill. Where in the process is the bill currently? Is it in hearings or committees? Part 2: Legislation Testimony/Advocacy Statement Based on the health-related bill you selected, develop a 1-page Legislation Testimony/Advocacy Statement that addresses the following: Advocate a position for the bill you selected and write testimony in support of your position. Describe how you would address the opponent to your position. Be specific and provide examples. At least 2 outside resources and 2-3 course specific resources are used. .

DISCUSSION ONE Prepare: Prior to completing this discussion question, review Chapters 9 and 10 in American Government and the following articles: “ How Voter ID Laws Are Being Used to Disenfranchise Minorities and the Poor ,” “ Fraught with Fraud ,” and “ Proof at the Polls .” Reflect: The U.S. has one of the lowest voter turnout rates among modern democratic political systems. One study ranks the U.S. 120th on a list of 169 nations compared on voter turnout (Pintor, Gratschew, & Sullivan, 2002). During the last decade, many initiatives have been undertaken to increase voter participation, yet concerns about the possibility of election fraud have also increased. Additionally, some political interests feel threatened by the increase in turnout among some traditionally low-turnout ethnic minorities. Several states have recently passed legislation imposing new registration and identification requirements. This has sparked debate about whether these are tactics intended to suppress turnout or to prevent fraud. Write: In your initial post, summarize recent developments in several states enacting voter ID laws. Analyze and describe the pros and cons on both sides of the debate about these laws. Is voter fraud a major problem for our democracy or are some groups trying to make it harder for some segments of society to vote? Draw your own conclusion about the debate over voter ID laws. Justify your conclusions with facts and persuasive reasoning. Fully respond to all parts of the question and write your response in your own words. Your initial post must be 200 to 250 words. Support your position with APA citations from two or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion. Please be sure that you demonstrate understanding of these resources, integrate them into your argument, and cite them properly. DISCUSSION TWO Prepare: Prior to beginning your reflection, review all course readings and videos as required. Reflect: The U.S. national government is based on the framework detailed in the U.S. Constitution. The process that the Founding Fathers used to map out our national government is fascinating and illuminating. The Constitution creates a system of checks and balances and separation of powers that have been focal points for class discussions. In addition, the Constitution identifies three main branches for the national government: the legislative, executive, and judicial, which are tasked, respectively, with the creation of the legislation to guide the country, the implementation and execution of that legislation, and the review of that legislation for constitutionality and legality. Interacting with the federal government includes a variety of different actors and political processes such as the states, political parties, interest groups, and federal elections. All these features create a vibrant and healthy democracy. Write: In your initial post of at least 200 to 250 words, explain how and why one feature of the U..

Application: Federal Statutes and the Impact of Legislative Bills A statute provides the written process that transforms a bill from a static piece of legislation to action. Enacting a statute is more complicated than simply having the legislature vote on and approve it. Once a member of Congress introduces a bill, it is sent to various House and Senate committees and subcommittees, any of which may edit, add to, amend, or “kill” the bill at any point. Therefore, only a small fraction of the bills submitted for consideration are passed into law. If a bill passes through the committees, it will be presented for a floor debate and full vote of both houses of Congress. Then, it must be signed into law by the President. After they are voted on and signed into law, bills are then subject to interpretation and analysis by the judicial system regarding how they apply to specific legal problems and cases. To prepare for this assignment: Review the assigned pages of Chapter 3 in your course text, Principles of Legal Research . Focus on sources of and research methods for locating enacted federal legislation. Review Chapter 4 in your course text, Principles of Legal Research . Think about the legislative process and how to research pending legislation. Select a policy issue that interests you. Use the LexisNexis Academic database in the Walden library, and search for current statutes that may impact the policy issue you selected. Use the source United States Code Service – Titles 1 through 50 , located in the Federal & State Codes section of the Legal tab. Access “The Library of Congress: THOMAS” website and search for current bills that may impact the policy issue you selected. The assignment: (2–3 pages) Briefly describe the issue you selected. Describe two or three federal statutes that relate to the issue and explain how each does so. Describe one current legislative bill related to the issue, and explain how it might impact the law or policy related to the issue if passed. Be specific. Support your Application Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list only .

Each part of the United States has at least one ecological crisis based on location, biome, and industrialization pattern. For example, the Midwest was once a prairie with very fertile soil. However, when people realized that with the right watering and drainage system this area could become productive farmland, there arose ecological problems. The conversion of the prairie to farmland is the root cause of many ecological problems in this region. Regardless of what biome you consider, humans have likely had an impact on the ecology of that area. For this assignment, identify the biome in which you live. The following are a few examples of biomes: Tropical rainforests: This biome has high average temperatures, high moisture levels, and high species diversity. Prairies: The prairies have grassland-variable temperatures, variable moisture levels—depending on proximity to mountain ranges—and are mainly dominated by grasses and ungulate herbivores. Deserts: These biomes have hotter average temperatures, low moisture, lower species diversity, and a composition of species limited mainly to those that are adapted to hot temperatures. Temperate forests: The temperate forests have variable temperatures, high moisture levels, and higher species diversity. Taigas: These biomes have colder average temperatures, lower moisture levels, and lower species diversity. Tundras: The tundras have cold average temperatures, low moisture levels, and low species diversity. Coral reefs: These biomes have high average temperatures and high species diversity. Open oceans: These biomes have a wide range of temperatures and species diversity varies. Chaparrals: The chaparrals have higher average temperatures, lower moisture levels, and are dominated mainly by grasses and shrubs. Alpines: These biomes have low average temperatures, low precipitation, and receive high ultraviolet (UV) rays due to high elevation. Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, respond to the following: Explain how humans have impacted the biome in which you live. List the types of environmental damage that have been caused and the species that have been impacted. Describe the major pollution issues for your biome, and elaborate on the sources of this pollution. List any species that have become extinct in this biome. Support your statements with appropriate examples and scholarly references. Write your initial response in approximately 300–350 words. .

Due Week 8 and worth 200 points This “Assignment 2” writing assignment is a comparative essay focused on topics encountered in our HUM 111 class. The project will be based on research but will reflect your views and interpretation of the topic. This project is designed to help you stretch your mind and your abilities as an organized, innovative, and critical thinker. If approached properly, it should also be fun! Choose one (1) of the topics from the list of topic choices below. Read the topic carefully. Write a three to four (3-4) page paper (750-1,000 words) that follows instructions and covers each part of the topic. (The title page and References list do not get included in this word count). Note: Your instructor may require you to submit your topic choice for approval before the end of Week 5. For the topic you choose: Establish a clear thesis about your topic as part of the introductory paragraph (often the thesis is the last thing one determines after doing the basic research and outline; however it will be placed in the first paragraph of your paper). This is a comparative essay. Comparison approached properly will require some critical thinking on your part. Use a point-by-point approach for the essay. That means, if comparing subject A with subject B, don't do the first half of the essay on subject A and then the second half on subject B--that will seem like two (2) separate essays and comparisons will tend to get lost. Instead, you should be mentioning both subjects in most of your paragraphs as you compare them throughout the essay. Comparisons will identify similarities as well as contrasts. Do not try to do everything on your two (2) subjects. You should end up narrowing your focus to a few insights and issues about the subjects being compared. And, from those fairly specific points of comparison, you will develop a thesis and glean some lessons. Follow closely the instructions below for your specific topic. Include a concluding paragraph at the end. This paragraph will, in some way, refer back to the thesis established in your first paragraph, since now you have demonstrated and supported it. It may be here that you also include your observations relating your study to the modern workplace or society (see your topic). Try to finish with flair! Use at least three (3) good quality academic sources, with one (1) source being the class text. Note: Wikipedia and other similar Websites do not qualify as academic resources. You are highly encouraged to use the Resource Center tab at the top of your Blackboard page. Topic Choices – Choose just one (1) of the topics below: Qualities of the Hero: Comparing Gilgamesh and Odysseus . Write an essay comparing these two (2) heroic figures from ancient epics of different cultures, especially focusing your analysis on the sources about their encounters with monsters: Gilgamesh encounters the monster guarding the forest, Humbaba, in Tablets 3-5 of the Epic of Gilgamesh (see http://www..
