Assignment 2: Three Branches of Federal GovernmentThe Framers of the Constitution, to ensure that no single person or entity had a monopoly on power, instituted a system of checks and balances. Thus, the United States has three branches of government: the executive, the legislative and the judicial. Each of these branches has a distinct and essential role in the function of the government and also exercises some control over the actions of the other branches.Research the three branches of government using the textbook and Argosy University online library resources. Respond to one question from each of the question sets below.A. Legislative (Pick one to respond to)Should members of the U.S. Congress be “delegates” or “trustees” for their constituents? Which do you believe serves the best interests of the members of Congress and of the constituents?Should members of Congress vote according to their own views or the views of the constituents who elected them?B. Executive (Pick one to respond to)Which president do you feel was the greatest and which president do you feel was the worst in U.S. history? Why?What are the qualifications required to be president? Describe at least one other qualification you feel should also be required and explain why.After serving the maximum two terms as president, should an ex-president be allowed to be reelected after an intermediate term of another president? Why or why not?C. Judicial (Pick one to respond to)How can the U.S. Supreme Court’s power be curbed? Is it important that curbing the Court’s power should not be easy? Why or why not?The Constitution does not stipulate that judges must have a law degree or legal training. Yet all judges appointed are law school graduates. Why? Is it possible that a judge could come from another field? Why or why not?Write your response to each question in 150–200 words.

Define how an evacuation would be carried out and who is responsible for the financial aspects of the plan.

You are the emergency manager of Utopia, a mid-sized community that is economically and residentially balanced. The elected officials are considering annexing a section of contiguous property to the north. This area includes about 40 homes and a grammar school in the Wunderbar School District, which serves grades kindergarten through sixth. Just north of this area is the Neptune River, which floods from time to time.You have been asked to establish the costs that are associated with preparedness, mitigation, and recovery for this proposed annexation. Further, you have been asked to determine funding sources for activities that are associated with preparedness, mitigation, and recovery.

What is more important, spreading the values of the Federation, or respecting the independence of the people of another planet?

Link to video “A Private Little War” https://vimeo.com/81912586The crew of the Enterprise are sworn to protect the “Prime Directive,” the order never to interfere with the native development of another culture. And yet, in “A Private Little War,” Kirk and his officers must wrestle with the decision to help arm the friends of the Federation against the tribes aided by the Klingons. This episode was intentionally written to represent the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union in far-off theaters of war like Vietnam.Do you think that Kirk should obey the Prime Directive in this episode — or for that matter, ever? What is more important, spreading the values of the Federation, or respecting the independence of the people of another planet? Also spend a portion of the paper comparing this view to the Soviet Union. Length of answer should be 2-3 pages. The best essays will include a strong thesis statement, smooth transitions between paragraphs, and potential counter arguments.Please double-space and use 12-point font

explain how you would utilize the Positive Psychology approach.

Prepare: Prior to completing this discussion question, watch the TED video titled “Martin Seligman: The New Era of Positive Psychology” and read this excerpt from Dr. Seligman’s book titled Flourish: A Visionary New Understanding of Happiness and Well-Being from his website, Authentic Happiness. In addition, read the National Organization for Human Services’ Ethical Standards for Human Service Professionals.Reflect: Building upon a client’s unique strengths and resources is a common approach in the fields of social work and human services. In this first discussion forum for the week, you will reflect upon a particular concept-positive psychology-and consider its application to a particular problem area with a client. Consider the essential aims of the Positive Psychology movement and Dr. Seligman’s evolving perspectives on happiness and well-being.Write: Imagine that you are a human services professional working with a client facing a challenge or situation.. Choose the challenge or situation that this client might face and summarize the presenting challenge(s) and needs. Conidering the challenge or situation faced by your client, explain how you would utilize the Positive Psychology approach. Analyze cultural competence elements, as identified in the National Organization for Human Services’ Ethical Standards for Human Services Professionals, that direct practice professionals should integrate in the successful delivery of this technique (e.g., awareness of one’s own cultural background, recognition of multiculturalism, respecting cultural diversity, etc.).

explain how radical individualism influences the American psyche and the role of citizens.

When the U.S. Constitution was first drafted in 1787, it did not include any amendments. As such, the original document was all about the “powers” of government but said nothing about “rights.” Out of concern with tyrannical power, 10 amendments were added to the original document and eventually ratified in 1791. These amendments, called the “Bill of Rights,” granted citizens fundamental rights and freedoms, such as freedom of speech, the press, peaceful assembly, and religious expression, among others. Since then, 17 more amendments have been added to the Constitution, some containing powers and others containing rights. Yet neither the original document, nor any of the 27 amendments, mentions citizen responsibility in controlling powers, safeguarding rights, or involvement in political institutions (government, special interest groups, lobbying organizations, the administrative state, and political parties).For this Discussion, consider this: It would appear that the Framers assumed that the people would see it in their best interest to ensure, through civic engagement, that this equilibrium between rights and powers would be sustained. The question is: Has it? Post by Day 3 your explanation of how political institutions have shaped and influenced the role of the American citizen in government and policy. Then, explain how radical individualism influences the American psyche and the role of citizens. Identify two reasons why civic engagement has declined. Explain your rationale and predict what impact this might have on future generations.Note: If you are an international student, explain how citizens in your nation or country are engaged in governance. Is there a sense of civic responsibility? Explain.Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. Required Resources: udson, W. E. (2017).

What theoretical concepts from this course can be applied to understand why this problem is occurring?

Select, research, and analyze a real organization (public, private, or non-profit). You may select an organization in which you have worked or have been a member. Examine a problem or issue of concern within that organization. Be selective in choosing an issue or problem within an organization, as a lack of depth in the issue itself will not be an acceptable excuse for lack of depth in the analysis. The purpose of this CLA is to apply both what has been learned in the course as well as your own independent research to problems in an organization of your choice. Focus on an issue or problem that the organization is facing and is relevant to the content of this course. It will likely take several reflection sessions to identify a problem or issue that can be clearly defined, is manageable in scope, and is relevant to the course, so start this CLA weeks before it is due. Gather information while supplementing this information with data from the media, the organization’s literature, and other secondary sources. You should identify a relatively recent problem to analyze (i.e., this should not be an historical account of a problem and the company’s solution). You should focus your analysis by applying the concepts from the course. While it is acceptable to incorporate several concepts from the course, please aim for depth rather than breadth regarding the use of course concepts. To meet these broad goals, answer the following questions in a 4 to 6 page APA formatted written report supported by at least three (3) academic sources:1) What are the issues or problems facing the organization?2) What theoretical concepts from this course can be applied to understand why this problem is occurring? 3) What recommendations can you offer to help improve organizational functioning?
