    Answer 3 Government Discussion Posts NO PLAGIARISM

    /in /by

    DISCUSSION 1:

    The Gerrymandering Game

    Discussion

    Please respond to EACH of the following discussion topics and submit them to the discussion forum as a single post. Your initial post should be 75-150 words in length. Then, make at least two thoughtful responses to your fellow students’ posts. If you haven’t recently, please review the Rules of Discussion.

    In 1812, Massachusetts Governor Elbridge Gerry had passed into law newly drawn Congressional districts to favor his party (the Democratic-Republican Party). Critics charged that the one particular district looked like a salamander leading the Boston Gazette was first to use the word “Gerry-mander,” which was a combination of the Governor’s last name and the amphibian creature. Ever since, the drawing of congressional and state legislative districts has been an important tool used by both political parties.

    Consistent with the 14th Amendment, every ten years after the decennial census (decennial is a fancy word meaning every ten years), the state legislatures redraw both state legislative and congressional districts. Just as Governor Gerry and the Democratic-Republicans did in 1812, today, both Democratic and Republican partisans use reapportionment (the process of drawing new districts) to create state legislative and congressional districts to the advantage of their respective parties.

    First, go to the website: www.ReDistrictingGame.org

    Click the Link “Play the Game” to play “The ReDistricting Game.” Complete the various district drawing challenges in the game! CAUTION: this game is very addicting!

    After playing the game, make a discussion post addressing the following:

    • What was your experience with the Gerrymandering game? Did anything surprise you?
    • Is it possible to create a “neutral,” “fair,” or “equal” system for drawing legislative districts? What would be “fair”? What would be or “equal”? What would be “neutral”? How would “neutral,” “fair,” or “equal” be objectively defined and measured?
    • Could Gerrymandering actually be a good thing?

    DISCUSSION 2:

    May It Please the Court …

    Please respond to EACH of the following discussion topics and submit them to the discussion forum as a single post. Your initial post should be 75-150 words in length. Then, make at least two thoughtful responses to your fellow students’ posts. If you haven’t recently, please review the Rules of Discussion.

    For your initial post this week imagine that you are a lawyer arguing a case concerning federalism before the Supreme Court of the United States of America. This case has to do whether the power to create policy on a particular issue should be in the hands of the Federal Government, left to the States, or left in the hands of individual citizens.

    Then, you must support your argument to the Supreme Court by finding and using an applicable part of the United States Constitution.

    Select one of the following starters to start your argument (only do one):

    • May it please the court, the federal government, not the states has the power to legalize marijuana because …
    • May it please the court, the states, not the federal government, has the power to legalize marijuana because …
    • May it please the court, neither the states nor federal government has the power to legalize marijuana because …

    • May it please the court, the states, not the federal government, has the power to recognize or even restrict same sex marriages because …
    • May it please the court, neither the states nor federal government has the power to recognize or even restrict same sex marriages because …

    For your two follow up posts you may do the following:

    • Pretend you are a justice of the Supreme Court and question the argument of one of your peers.
    • Respond to the questions of your peers to your initial argument.

    DISCUSSION 3:

    The Newsroom

    Please respond to EACH of the following discussion topics and submit them to the discussion forum as a single post. Your initial post should be 75-150 words in length. Then, make at least two thoughtful responses to your fellow students’ posts. If you haven’t recently, please review the Rules of Discussion.

    In your discussion this week you have to write a short newscast. Select three (and only three) current news stories. Select the three stories that you think are the most important to our nation and society.

    • Write an original headline for each story.
    • Write no more than three sentences summarizing each story.
    • Include the full html web address for each story.

    *It is very important to only write on three stories and keep your summaries under three sentences as this simulates how challenging it is to explain very complicated new stories in very restricted time and keeping the attention of viewers.

    Your initial post will look something like this:

    Catchy Headline #1

    Summary sentence 1. This is the second sentence. And finally a third sentence.

    http://www.not_a_real_website.com/page/super_cool_…

    Catchy Headline #2

    Summary sentence 1. This is the second sentence. And finally a third sentence.

    http://www.not_a_real_website.com/page/super_cool_…

    Catchy Headline #3

    Summary sentence 1. This is the second sentence. And finally a third sentence.

    Application: Statistics and Forensic Psychology

    /in /by

    The quality of any test or assessment instrument used by a forensic psychology professional is directly related to how that test was constructed and with whom it was intended for use. Statistical concepts such as validity, reliability, and norming sample population are all built into an instrument during its construction. To this effect, there are various ways of measuring validity and reliability that are applicable to different assessments. This week’s Application Assignment allows you to analyze the one of the assessment instruments, looking at several statistical concepts and seeing the importance that the concepts play in developing a good instrument that a forensic psychology professional may use.

    To prepare for this assignment:

    • Review the website, “A Guide to Psychology and Its Practice: Psychological Testing,” focusing on the types of tests or instruments, the reasons for use, and the types of instrument validity and reliability that may be assessed.
    • Think about how reliability, validity, and sample populations pertain to assessment instruments used for forensic assessment and consider their importance.
    • Review the course document, “Assessment Instruments,” and select an assessment instrument that is different from the one you selected for this week’s Discussion. Search for the instrument you selected in the Mental Measurements Yearbook database. Reflect on the development and technical information about the instrument as well as any other information related to the instruments construction that relates to its reliability, validity, and norming sample populations.

    The assignment (2–3 pages): APA ONLY!!!!!!

    • Explain each of the following as they relate to assessment instruments used in forensics: reliability, validity, and norming sample populations.
    • Analyze the importance of these aspects for an instrument used in forensic assessment, using specific examples.
    • Describe the reliability, validity, and norming sample populations for the assessment instrument you selected.

    Support your Application Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list only for those resources notincluded in the Learning Resources for this course.

    Social Imagination

    /in /by

    C. Wright Mills defined the sociological imagination as the capacity for individuals to understand the relationship between their individual lives and the broad social forces that influence them. In other words, the sociological imagination helps people link their own individual biographies to the broader forces of social life: “Neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both” (Mills 1959).

    In this assignment, you will use this sociological imagination to analyze a situation that happened in your life and has had a huge impact on you.
