Analyze the influence of Congress, the Judicial system, and other agencies

Imagine you are a senior US government policy adviser. The White House has asked your boss to brief them on your agency’s top policy priorities. You need to develop a comprehensive policy memo that will give your boss:(1) the critical background information he/she needs on the issue at hand;(2) analysis of the influence of Congress, the Judicial system, and other government agencies on the formulation and implementation of a specific policy;(3) an evaluation of the influence that interest groups, political parties and the media have on the policy at hand;(4) a set of options for your boss to consider regarding a path forward with all these political players (including pro’s and con’s for each option); and(5) a recommended strategy that you want your boss to present to the White House to win support for your agency’s policy agenda.To recap, your memo should:– Clearly and concisely state the issue at hand– Provide a summary of the current policy context / relevant background– Analyze the influence of Congress, the Judicial system, and other agencies– Evaluate the influence of interest groups, political parties, and the media– Present a set of options for your boss to consider, include pro’s and con’s for each– Make a recommendation of one of those options and provide further justification for why you are saying that option is the best.Formatting Guidelines:– No cover page; put your name, student ID, and the subject line at the top with a date.– Do not exceed 6 single-spaced pages! (Most senior leaders don’t have time to read anything longer than a few pages.)– Include citations / sources as end notes for your memo since this is an academic exercise (end notes will not count toward the 6 page limit). Follow Turabian guidelines for your citations.– At minimum, your sources should include: one book besides the textbook, two articles from scholarly journals (i.e. Foreign Affairs, Harvard International Review), two news articles from major periodicals (i.e. Washington Post, The New York Times, The Economist), and two primary sources (United Nations Resolutions, Congressional records, speeches).

write a 4 to 5 page paper describing the diplomatic position of their assigned member state on the ongoing Syrian crisis and the proper U.N. response to the crisis.

Each student will write a 4 to 5 page paper describing the diplomatic position of their assigned member state on the ongoing Syrian crisis and the proper U.N. response to the crisis. Students should try to find out as much as possible about the diplomatic positions that their state has taken currently and in the past on Syria and on prior similar crises.With significant research each student should be able to find out how his or her member state has approached similar situations in past UN debates. Students should also research the voting blocs, regional and otherwise, with which their state has traditionally voted. This can be useful information when students have difficulty finding specific information on their state’s party voting positions.In their position paper students should provide a detailed discussion of what their state would like to see emerge from the Security Council debate in terms of actions or resolutions via the Syrian crisis.PLEASE CITE ALL SOURCES!!!

briefly summarize how the Electoral College works.

The practice of state legislatures appointing Electors continued for many years. Most American history texts do not report national presidential vote totals before 1824 because 25% of the states were still not holding presidential elections by that year. Even as late as 1876 the state of Colorado’s legislature appointed Electors. As states moved away from legislative appointment to the current system of allowing a state’s Electors to be chosen by a winner-take-all popular vote, the primary rationale for the Electoral College was forgotten in history. At the same time, public expectations of strong presidential leadership were rising. This creates a problem well illustrated by the disputed election of 2000. George W. Bush was elected president with 271 electoral votes to Al Gore’s 266 electoral votes. However, Gore amassed 543,895 popular votes more than Bush. Also, because some disputed votes in Florida made unclear which candidate should receive the state’s electoral votes, the Florida Supreme Court ordered a full recount of the Florida vote. But the U.S. Supreme Court intervened and stopped the recount, thereby in effect awarding Florida’s electoral votes to Bush. While arguments continue to this day about the legitimacy of the U.S. Supreme Court’s intervention, the 2000 election illustrates a glaring weakness of the Electoral College system – selecting a president whose authority may be diminished by the dubious circumstances of his or her election. The election of 2000 also has fueled a long ongoing debate about whether the Electoral College should be abandoned in favor of method which insures that the candidate elected has the most popular votes. Would this outcome be more consistent with contemporary public expectations about the president’s role as a national leader who can get things done?Before writing your initial post, review the assigned resources. To easily access the resources from the Ashford University Library, please see the table located in the Course Materials section.In your initial post of at least 200-250 words, briefly summarize how the Electoral College works. Explain some of the main pros and cons in the debate about whether to keep or abolish the current Electoral College process. Also explain one proposal to change how the system works without formally abolishing it. Evaluate the various arguments and the proposal. Include at least two perspectives in your assessment:

In how many of the films were the main character a racial or ethnic minority?

Sociology 1 To better understand your own attitudes towards racial bias, take the Race Implicit Bias Test at https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html. Click the “I wish to proceed” button at the bottom of the page and go to the “Race IAT.” After you perform the test, print out your results or submit them electronically to your instructor. Are you surprised by the results? Regardless of your race, what was the one question you scored low on? Where you surprised by this? Explain.2 The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is the federal agency charged with investigating claims of discrimination that violate federal civil rights law. Examine a wide selection of cases filed with the commission at the “newsroom” and “statistics” sections of their website: (http://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/newsroom/index.cfm and http://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/statistics/enforcement/index.cfm). What patterns do you see in the types of discrimination claimed? Is the discrimination individual or institutional? Is it intentional or unintentional? Are there some areas of the country with more claims than others? Are some types of claims more common than others? Based on this analysis, how big of a problem do you think discrimination is in the United States today?3- Write down a list of fictional films you have recently watched and the genre into which they fall (e.g., romantic comedy, drama, action film, horror, etc.). Next to the titles, note the main characters, their race and gender, and 2–3 defining characteristics. In how many of the films were the main character a racial or ethnic minority? In films where the main characters were not racial or ethnic minorities, what kinds of roles did minority characters have? Do you detect any pattern in the kinds of roles played by actors of different racial or ethnic groups? Share and compare your responses with classmates.

How did this data help in your decision-making process?

Did you know confidence intervals are also used to project reliability in consumer products? We use confidence intervals in our daily lives, from consumer ratings to election projections. Seeing this data help us make decisions on the best option to choose. If, for example, one brand of refrigerator has a 17% chance of needing repair in the first three years. A different brand may have a 3-year repair rate of 19%. If a footnote says “differences of more than 4% are meaningless,” we can conclude that the repair rates really are not that different! However, any refrigerator with a repair rate more than 4% higher than 17% is more likely to need repair in the next three years.For this discussion, locate a confidence interval that you have used in your work or professional life.Provide a link to the data and respond to the following questions.How did this data help in your decision-making process?If you had the choice to make that decision again, would you make the same decision and why?Your paper should be three paragraphs in length. Use current APA formatting to cite your sources.
