As depression struck the new nation in the mid-1780s, new questions arose about the nature of American democracy. Many conservatives believed that the answer lay in a stronger national government. Most radicals believed it was up to the states to relieve the financial burden of the people. These sentiments fostered a movement for a new constitution. Political differences soon stimulated the creation of political parties.

Compare and contrast the Articles of Confederation with the new Constitution of 1787. What were the strengths and weaknesses of the Articles vis-à-vis the Constitution? Give specific instances that demonstrate the weakness of the Articles (such as the Western problem).

Then analyze the drafting of the Constitution, using specific details to show how the various states (slave vs. free, east vs. west) compromised in order to effectively draft a constitution. Pay particular attention to Roger Sherman’s plan, the Great Compromise, which broke a stalemate that could have been fatal to the development of the new Constitution.

Finally, compare and contrast the debate over ratification between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. Make sure you cite specific examples from the Federalist Papers to support the Federalist position and contrast it with leading proponents of the opposition (such as John Hancock). Analyze how the debate over a bill of rights illustrates the differences between the two parties. Evaluate the relative success of the Bill of Rights in achieving an effective balance between national and states’ interests.

This paper must be four to five double-spaced pages in length (not including the References page) and utilize no less than four academic quality sources. Margins should be no more than one inch (right and left) and the essay should be composed in an appropriate font and size. Sources must be documented and cited using APA format.

Each learner will write a thorough, in-depth literature review paper on one of the major topics from this course. The subject may be any of the major topics of the course (e.g.: principles of curriculum, principles of instruction, learning productivity, program or instructional design in corporate, non-traditional, or distance learning environments, evaluation, mobile learning, technology based learning methods, informal learning, mico-learning, gamification, etc.). Feel free to provide your own “angle” or point of view, but the paper must be research-based and thorough. If you are contemplating an education-based dissertation, this paper can serve as a good portion of your literature review (Chapter 2).

Please turn in a one or two paragraph description of your proposed topic via email not later than . The write-up can be very brief—I just want to know what you plan to work on. It is important to share your topic with me and decide on it early so that we can make sure it is appropriate for the course and that the scope is about right (a topic can be so broad that a thorough review of literature might take over a hundred pages or so narrow that there are only a small handful of articles about it). We also need to decide on the topic early enough that you will have time to conduct your research, read all of the relevant articles and books, and write your paper.

The paper will be graded on the quality of research, thoroughness, and quality of writing. A good review of literature should review all of the most important research on your chosen topic. There is no page requirement, only a thoroughness requirement. Therefore, you should select a topic that you can thoroughly review in approximately 15 pages and should consider at least 20 scholarly articles or books on your topic. If you end up with a broader topic that requires more pages than that, it is perfectly acceptable.

Additionally, each student will deliver a brief, high-level overview of his/her topic and why this topic is important in the field of education or adult learning on (our second face-to-face meeting). This informal, oral presentation should be a maximum of 10 minutes (including questions and discussion). Consider sharing any initial findings and issues, and do so in a way that sparks your audience’s interest. Use what you know about andragogy to craft an engaging presentation.

Which of the social science research philosophies presented in the module (see sources: Book Final, Hopper Powell) is most appropriate for your own PhD project (see research proposal with 3 main questions)? Justify your choice and debate why other relevant social science research philosophies are less suitable.

A critical assessment of those philosophies has the be included in this 3500 word essay.
The research questions (see research proposal & m1 research questions) may relate also perhaps to the natural selection paradigm (Darwin, Spencer, Smith et al) as with the research a trading strategy is pursed which better selects stocks that generate higher returns. In addition, the capital cycle (ROIC, ROE) somewhat reflects also a natural cycle just applied to businesses.

Sophomore year

 

Caring for grandma with dementia

 

Step-dad and mom split

 

Mom tried to kill herself (Don’t be too explicit)

 

Mom fell into deep depression having to maintain household alone (poverty level)

 

I had to step up into the position of “man of the house” as a 15 year old

-ubered to school since mom was under so much medication it was physically impossible to drive

-stayed up deep into most nights cleaning my grandmother after sad attempts to use the restroom/picking her up off the floor

 

Around October, four days after my 16th birthday, my biological father (who really only spent time with me when it was very convenient) moved overseas to Luxembourg.No warning.

He explained to me that “I was a man now” —– I’m first generation so this train of thought isn’t unusual for a typical Moroccan man like my dad.

 

Life flipped upside down and, similar to my mother, I also fell into the rabbit hole of suicidal thoughts.

 

Sure I went through a cutting phase but soon realized that I wasn’t angry at myself, I was angry at the hand I was served. I went AWOL and started reading tons of philosophy (Shortness of life  Scenica ) and even self-help books with a goal of hacking the rest of my life – optimizing it.

 

Now while staying up late, I didn’t lay in bed waiting for my grandmother to screech for help, but instead worked on whatever it was I wanted to learn – example: measuring my ketone levels to get into a ketogenic state while fasting (something I learned with my books that many CEOs do to ensure good health/ live to 90+) or establishing morning routines to gain control on my life which was seemingly hitting the fan.

 

Eventually my mom found evidence of self harm from months previously, and had me taken to a psychiatrist. I have bipolar disorder.

Objective: The objective for this assignment is for students to understand the critical linkage between participatory democracy (elections) and public policy in a representative democracy. It is the individual and corporate responsibility of the voters to make sure that elected officials implement public policy beneficial to the public and, if they do not, to remove them from office the next election. Students must explain how elected governors can use their formal and informal powers to influence public policy.

Scenario for the assignment:

Congratulations! You have recently been elected the Governor of Texas. You built your successful campaign around promises to address four issues that are significant to the voters of Texas: controlling immigration from Mexico, upgrading the state’s roads and highways, making sure the death penalty is applied fairly and improving k-12 education. Please discuss each of these issues and focus on the following:

Instructions:

1. Write a paper that answers the questions below.

2. In explaining how you will vote on the bill, be sure to explain the following:

Why these issues likely helped get you elected Governor (refer to Campaign message and campaign strategy from Unit 2)? (Unit 2 Written Lectures, Slide 24)
Discuss the formal and informal powers of the Governor Texas? (Unit 6 Written Lectures, Slides 5-9)
What is at least one formal power (do not use the same formal power all of the issues) that you can use to get each policy passed by the legislature? (Unit 6 Written Lectures, Slides 5, 6 & 7)
What is at least one informal power (do not sue the same informal power for each of the issues) that you can use to get each policy passed by the legislature? (Unit 6 Written Lectures, Slides 8 &9)
3. The paper should include subject headers (ie. Campaign Issues, Formal Powers, Informal Powers, etc.).
