Two Presidential Views – Posted on iLearn

Two Presidential Views – Posted on iLearn
1. Read “Two Presidential Views” (Posted on iLearn). This reading shows two different interpretations of the role of the president. Theodore Roosevelt believed the president should interpret the Constitution broadly to grant the president a considerable amount of power when it is necessary. William Taft believed that the powers of the president are always limited to a literal reading of the Constitution. Compare these two views of the presidency. Who do you think is correct? Why?

2. Consider how presidential war powers changed relative to congressional powers in the post-war era. What were the main contributing factors of this shift? Were the framers clear in their intent regarding presidential war powers? Would the framers feel the power of the modern president is sufficiently checked?

3. Political scientists have shown that Congress is polarized. However, some scholars argue polarization will be self-correcting and short-lived while others argue polarization will prove to be a more enduring characteristic of American politics. Drawing from “The Seeds of Dysfunction” (Posted on iLearn), briefly describe the origins of congressional polarization. Based on your understanding of polarization, do you think the current high degree of polarization in Congress will be short-lived?

The state legislature has met and decided that the bulk

The state legislature has met and decided that the bulk
The state legislature has met and decided that the bulk of the budget cuts will come from the criminal justice system. The head of the Department of Corrections in Centervale, Eric Clayton, has asked you to help him prepare a presentation for the state legislature. This has been a tough budget year, and Clayton must be prepared to explain to the legislature how each dollar is spent on prison programs. Clayton has asked you to research the prison programs offered in two other state prison systems so that he can see how Centervale’s programs compare.
You decide that the best approach is to research the prison system in the state where you reside and explore the programs that are offered.
Tasks:
Select two of the programs in California uses and explain them by addressing the following questions for each program:
• What is the name of the program, and to whom is the program offered?
o How is the program used?
o How do inmates enter the program?
o What is the purpose of the program?
• Would you recommend this program to Clayton for Centervale? Why or why not?
Submit your report to Clayton in a 2- to 3-page paper. Be sure to cite the sources of your information by stating the URLs from the state web pages or from other sources. (APA Format) Will be turned in turnitin.com

POL 389 – The war in Iraq that began in 2003

POL 389 – The war in Iraq that began in 2003
The war in Iraq that began in 2003 has been a major event for both the United States and Iraq. 4500 U.S. lives and that of tens of thousands of Iraqis have been lost. After U.S. troop levels dropped to just 500 in2011, 3000 additional soldiers were sent back in 2014 when the Islamic State gained control of several majorIraqi cities. Given the rationale stated at the beginning of the war by the Bush administration and subsequentjustifications for staying there, has the war been worth its cost in lives and money.

approach your life with a mindful sense of discovery

approach your life with a mindful sense of discovery
In this final week, you were encouraged to “approach your life with a mindful sense of discovery and invention;” in other words, to live creatively (Chaffee, 2007, p. 533). Another author quoted in our discussion tells us, “Creativity is a lifestyle, not simply a single activity. Let it expand you” (Trespicio,Body & Soul,2007, p.158). What do you do in your everyday lifestyle that demonstrates your creativity? (Hint: it’s not about drawing or painting or being “artistic.”) How does creativity expand you? Why is creativity an important part of critical thinking?

Explain Sentencing criminals to the death penalty

Explain Sentencing criminals to the death penalty
Explain “Sentencing criminals to the death penalty is a practice that has been going on since

ancient times. However, it has become a very controversial issue for the latter part of the

twentieth century. My home state of Florida is a state that practices capital punishment

for murders. As a strong supporter of the death penalty, I feel that my state and its

citizens are safe because of it.”?

IT510 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
IT 510 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a System Proposal Document.
In any modern enterprise, it is crucial that all of the different stakeholders, users, inputs, and outputs that relate to the business’s IT systems coalesce in a logical
and cohesive way for the systems to be effective. As a member of an IT team, your overarching goal is to ensure that the IT systems ultimately do what the
business needs them to do. In this course, you have learned about the key principles and practices underlying the analysis, design, implementation, and
management of IT systems. In this final project, you will apply this knowledge by creating a systems proposal document.
The project is divided into four milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Module Two, Module Four, Module Six, and Module Eight. The final submission will occur in Module Nine.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes: Assess the relationship of systems analysis, design, implementation, and development processes as they relate to the management of information
technology systems
Communicate the paradigms, processes, and activities of systems development to diverse audiences
Apply structure and object oriented analysis modeling techniques to analyze, design, and manage information technology systems
Construct written and visual representations of the analysis, design, implementation, and management of information technology systems based on the
systems development life cycle Prompt
You will select your own case study and will apply the content provided, describing the business process to complete the final project. Alternate sources for case
studies include the case studies found in the textbook with the exception of the Personal Trainer Case. You can additionally search the internet for business case
ideas.
You will complete an analysis of an existing information technology system and make recommendations for updates to meet business goals based on your chosen
case study. Your final submission will include an introduction, systems requirements, systems design specifications, and an implementation plan. All of the
components listed below should be submitted as a single, organized systems proposal document and include screenshots of all relevant diagrams, charts, and
tables.
I. Introduction: Provide an overview of your selected case. Be sure to provide appropriate citations and reference to the case study you have selected. a) Background: Establish a context for understanding your systems proposal. Specifically, explain any essential paradigms, processes, and activities
of the existing information technology systems.

Memo

Memo

Assignment: As the Human Resources Manager at XYZ Industries, Inc., it is your pleasure to announce the addition of annual performance-based bonuses for mid-level managers and above. These bonuses will require annual performance reviews to discern the amount of the bonus. Draft a memo explaining this scenario to this specific group of employees.

Preparation: Review Chapter 7: Writing Routine and Positive Messages (Especially pgs. 172-173)

Format: Memo formatting can be found on page 426-427 in your book. The format of your memo tells your employees a lot about your sensitivity and professionalism. Since you do not want to upset any employees unnecessarily, you should also be conscious of your wording when explaining culturally-sensitive subjects. Pay particular attention to your memo’s margins, line spacing, font type and size, and placement of memo parts such as the addressees, subject line, and body. ï‚· Address the memo to all mid-level managers and above at your company.

Header: Begin your memo with the four standard memo heads (Date, To, From, Subject).

Body/Discussion: In the first paragraph of the body, start off with the good news. Memos do not begin with greetings or salutations. Explain what factors could have contributed to this new development (i.e. increased sales, raising stock price, etc.) and why the decision was made to reward employees with the surplus funds.

The second paragraph is where you explain the new process that the employees can expect. Outline the way that reviews will be handled, and by whom. Feel free to be creative (yet somewhat realistic) when outlining how the performance scores will translate into bonuses (i.e. tier system, seniority, contribution value).

In the third paragraph, be sure to validate any anticipated concerns employees may have about this adjustment. Explain the greater benefit in the long-term this decision provides and conclude your memo by indicating how the reader may contact you if he/she has any questions. In general, this section should be “short & sweet,” making sure that the employees know what is expected of them
