This is just a raw paper. Single space. No need to format a name and instructor, no title necessary just answer the question. 

Discussions:

First task: Respond to the posting by the teacher. 

Americans are justifiably proud of their democratic political institutions and often believe that people of all nations would benefit from living under American style democratic rule. Should America export democracy? Discuss.

In this posting you should include  supporting evidences in the form of a mini research of the topic and should include proper documentation of your sources.  This one response should be at least 200 words in length with at least 2 scholarly, reputable outside sources used to support your arguments.  

Example response: 

In concept, the exportation of democracy is a fair idea.  Philippe Schmitter and Terry Karl offer the following definition of democracy: "Modern political democracy is a system of governance in which rulers are held accountable for their actions in the public realm by citizens acting indirectly through the competition and cooperation of their elected representatives." It sounds pretty ideal, especially to people under totalitarian rule. And while it has worked for America and many developed countries around the world, democracy only works when the people are receptive to the idea. I believe that if a society is ready to implement a democratic government, they will find a way. The change will not occur overnight, or even in a couple years, but it will happen naturally and in a way that the population can adjust accordingly. I don't believe that democracy is something you can export like textiles and crops. Democracy is simply not viable in some political cultures. That said, I do believe that working towards a global government is a great way to preserve peace between nations. Most likely, that form of government will be democracy, but by the time that happens, it may have evolved into something very different from its modern form, much like how Modern Democracy evolved from Athenian Democracy. 

By the way what lacks in the example response is the proper documentation of the source. Please make a brief MLA citation based on the sources you choose. 

Second task: 

Use at least 4 sentences to respond on the example response given above. No sources and citations needed.

.Is it time to entirely transform  rather than merely reform  the institutions that were originally a part of the Bretton Woods system?

2.If the current Millennium Development Goals Campaign fails, should the global leaders  consider an alternative to the current system?

3.We now have the G-20, which includes  many countries in the global south. Should the global south have a greater voice  in the policies of the World Bank?

In answering this question, students first need to engage in a background discussion of what is meant by the Bretton Woods system.

Also explain what is meant by G-20(check out its website)

Students could check out the websites of the International monetary Fund and the World bank.

students should also explain the relationship(which has a bearing on the Bretton Woods system) between US economic problems  and the global economy.Reform of the Bretton Woods system is also linked to the position of US leadership in the world.

Students should also look at the relationship between reform and whether global financial capitalism  will face a nw crisis.

Reform of the Bretton Woods system also is linked to the US emphasis on the connection between economics and security.

Also the student should consider the link between reform of Bretton woods and the concept of complex interdependence as discussed  in Zoellick's article.

Students in their answer, should also refer to the article by Christopher Layne in the World Politics reader, "The Global Power Shift from West to east"in considering the connection between reform of the Bretton Woods system and Pax Americana.

In dealing with the question of Millennium Development Goals, students should make reference to John W. McArthur, "Own the Goals:What the Millennium Developmnt Goals  have Accomplished " in the World Politics reader

students can check out the website of the Millennium Development Goals.explain the purpose of the Goals.Discuss the progress  that has been made in achieving the 8 MDGS(Millennium Development Goals)Explain why the Bush administration was hesitant to embrace the MDGs.

Explain why the World Bank was averse  to supporting the MDGs

explain what are th obstacles faced in realizing all 8 of the MDGs

students should also check out the post-2015 Millennium Development Goals

The purpose of the term paper is to evaluate your ability to compare different theoretical arguments, hypotheses, research designs, and to determine whether a theoretical argument receives empirical support on a topic related to the study of civil war. If you submit a draft of your term paper by November 17th, we will be able to provide feedback on your paper in enough time for you to make revisions before submitting the final version on December 3rd. If you submit an outline of your term paper by October 22nd, we will be able to provide feedback on your outline in enough time for you to make changes before submitting a draft of your term paper on November 17th.
For your term paper you will select a topic from the list of research topics listed below. Read all of the articles listed under that topic. Note: You do not need to do any extra reading aside from the articles listed for each topic.
Your paper may be up to 15 pages and should contain the following:
1. A summary of the main arguments and hypotheses of each article.
2. A comparison of the articles’ research designs.
3. A discussion of whether the hypotheses in each article receive empirical support.
Structure of Paper
Your paper may be up to 15 double-spaced pages, should have 1 inch margins, and be written using Times New Roman 12-point font. Note: there is no minimum page requirement but I do not believe you will be able to complete the requirements in less than 10 pages. You will want to proofread and spell check your paper before submitting the final version. Before you start writing your paper you will want to spend some time thinking about how to organize your paper, present the arguments, etc. A well written paper makes for a better grade than a poorly written one.
A good structure for the term paper is the following (feel free to use the headings below):
1. Introduction: In your introduction you will want to 1) present the specific research question(s) addressed in each article, 2) mention why the author(s) of each article believe the research question(s) is important in the study of civil war, 3) provide a brief glimpse of the findings of each article (e.g., Author(s) X finds that ethnic fractionalization does not seem to influence the onset of civil wars but author(s) Y finds that ethnic fractionalization influences whether a country will experience a civil war), and 4) provide a brief overview of the paper.
2. Theory: In this section you will want to present the broad theoretical arguments used in each of the articles. Next, you need to pick 1 hypothesis from each article and explain how the author(s) derived that hypothesis, that is, what specific theoretical arguments does the author(s) provide to come up with that hypothesis. Note: A hypothesis is a statement that entails an expectation of a relationship between two or more factors that needs to be supported or refuted by an empirical analysis. A hypothesis is typically denoted Hypothesis 1, H1, or Proposition 1. An article may have multiple hypotheses but you only need to present and explain the arguments for 1 hypothesis for each article. Finally, compare the hypotheses across the articles. For example, author(s) X argues that ethnic fractionalization should increase the likelihood of civil war because [insert theoretical argument]. Author(s) Y expects the same relationship between ethnic fractionalization and civil war but argues that this relationship is due to [insert theoretical argument]. In contrast, author(s) Z argues that there should be no relationship between ethnic fractionalization and civil war onset because [insert theoretical argument]. In short, you will want to compare the different theoretical arguments that are made across the articles as well as the hypotheses that follow from the theoretical arguments.
3. Research Design: In this section you will want to compare the different research designs used in the articles. You need to identify the unit of analysis, spatial domain, and temporal domain used in each of the articles. Next, discuss whether the articles use the same unit of analysis or different units of analysis? Do the authors examine the same spatial and temporal domains, or do they examine different spatial and temporal domains?
You need to identify the dependent variable the author(s) of each article used to test the hypothesis you identified above, describe how the dependent variable is measured, and what data source is used.
For the hypothesis you selected above, what is the independent variable that the au- thor(s) used to test this hypothesis? How is this variable measured? What data source is used to measure this independent variable? Note: you only need to discuss the measurement of 1 independent variable for each article and the independent variable you examine should be associated with the hypothesis you presented above.
4. Empirical Analysis: Is there empirical support for the hypothesis you identified in each of the articles? You will need to locate the relevant table in the article that speaks to that hypothesis and discuss whether the variable has a positive or negative effect on the dependent variable and whether that relationship is statistically significant. The author(s) will usually let you know which table (or figure) provides the evidence that supports or does not support the hypothesis the author(s) proposed. Next, compare the results of the empirical analysis across the articles. Do the findings support or contradict each other?
5. Conclusion: In this section you should summarize the conclusions you draw from the articles. In general, describe what the effect your topic has on the study of civil war. For example, based on the results of author’s X, Y, and Z, we can conclude that there

is no effect of ethnic fractionalization on civil war onset. However, author(s) Y finds that in ethnic civil wars, there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between ethnic fractionalization and ethnic civil war onset. Overall, we can conclude that ethnic fractionalization is an important predictor of civil war onset but the effect appears to be isolated to ethnic civil wars. At this point, you might also provide a short critique of shortcomings of the articles and propose ways that research on this topic could be advanced in the future.
Rules of Citation1
The general rule for citing or referring to sources in a paper is to use the author’s (or au- thors’) name/s, the date of publication, and the page numbers in parentheses next to the argument that refers to a particular source. There are two ways of referring to an article:
Example 1: Cederman, Wimmer, and Min (2010) find that leader’s of an ethnic group that are excluded from state power are more likely to challenge the government for control of state power using violence.
Example 2: Leader’s of an ethnic group that are excluded from state power are more likely to challenge the government for control of state power using violence (Cederman, Wimmer, and Min, 2010).
If you use a direct quote then you must place that quote in parentheses and list the page number.
Example 3: Cederman, Wimmer, and Min (2010) conceptualize “ethnic politics as the struggle over control of the state between various ethnically defined organizations and their constituencies” (95).
1Keep in mind the policies on Academic Dishonesty. You may want to consult the syllabus for the policies on academic dishonesty as well as tips for how to avoid plagiarism.

Writing a Critical Review (analytical) Essay

Every essay that you write for this course must have a clear thesis, placed (perhaps) somewhere near the end of the introductory paragraph. Simply stated, a THESIS (or ARGUMENT) expresses, preferably in a single sentence, the point you want to make about the text that is the subject of your essay. A THESIS should be an opinion or interpretation of the text, not merely a fact or observation.  The best possible THESIS will answer some specific questions about the text. Very often the THESIS contains an outline of the major points to be covered in the essay. A possible thesis for an essay on character in Perry Henzell’s The Harder They Come might read somewhat as follows:


The protagonist of THTC is not a hero in the epic sense of the word, but a self-centered young man bred of economic oppression and cultural dependency. The characters in this film have no real psychological depth, but are markers for a society of consumption and momentary glory. 


(You might then go on to exemplify from the text and argue in favor or against this interpretation: your essay need not hold to only one perspective.)


What single, clear QUESTION does the above THESIS attempt to answer?


Each essay should be organized into five (5) paragraphs, each based on one of two to four major ideas, which will comprise the BODY of the essay. Each paragraph must have a topic sentence, often (but not always) towards the beginning of the paragraph, which clearly states the ARGUMENT or point to be made in the paragraph. Following the thesis set forth above, the first paragraph might begin with a sentence like “Ivan’s desires and his destiny are signaled in the opening shots of the film, where the friendly, jumbled interior of the bus is contrasted with Ivan’s first view of the outer world: a world of shiny white cars and beautiful women.” Avoid topic sentences that fail to make an interpretative statement about the work or that merely state something any reader might observe; for example, “The first characters we see are country people on a bus to town.”


Underline the THESIS and each TOPIC SENTENCE in every critical review essay you submit. This exercise will force you to make certain that you have expressed and developed the ideas in your essay clearly and logically.  (In other words, do not do this exercise five minutes before you submit the essay but, rather, as you are working on the very first draft.)


Always use present tense verbs in your critical review essays about film texts.  Present tense is the verb tense of analysis.  Past tense, on the otherhand, is the tense of narration. In each essay, you will be analyzing a particular text, not retelling or summarizing the story.  If you find yourself slipping into past tense as you compose, you are probably narrating rather than analyzing.


Use specific passages from the text to support each point that you make in your essay. You may simply refer to an event in the text, or you may paraphrase what a character or the narrator says. But the best EVIDENCE will most often be direct quotes from the text.  







Q1. Develop a thesis pertaining to the assigned film text and whether or not it, the film, in your view has the power to transform one’s political sensibilities. Your argument should express your point of view regarding the politics of difference, political sensibilities, and political transformation(s) as related to the film. Remember, you’re writing (developing) an analytical essay.

Example 1 

Develop a thesis pertaining to the assigned film text and whether or not it, the film, in your view has the power to transform one’s political sensibilities. Your argument should express your point of view regarding the politics of difference, political sensibilities, and political transformation(s) as related to the film. Remember, you’re writing (developing) an analytical essay. Submit your thesis statement in the box below:


  1a. Spike Lee’s film Do The Right Thing enforces stereotypes and does not have the power to change ones political sensibilities.


Develop three (3) topic sentences that articulate the major ideas that will comprise the body of your essay. Remember that your topic sentences should clearly state the argument or point to be made in the respective paragraphs. Submit your topic sentences in the box below:


    2a. 1. Spike Lee’s film Do The Right Thing deepens the lines of difference that separate our society. 2. Do The Right Thing perpetuates the idea of minorities as victims and poses the “dominant we” society as an evil figure to be fought against rather than promoting unity. 3. Spike Lee’s film does little to inspire any kind of hope and rather showcases in a very biased and glorified way the cycle of ignorance, hate, and violence that society seems to be trapped in.


Identify three (3) scenes from the film that support your thesis statement. Briefly explain.:


  3a. 1. The Scene where Buggin Out the self proclaimed progressive and “righteous black man” is very stereo typically yelling at this white guys who just trying to get home had stepped on his Air Jordans getting them dirty. This scene not only perpetuates stereo types about black people but when Buggin Out turns this one small accident into a statement about white people or the “ Dominent We” always taking from and keeping the black community down (Ruining his shoes, moving into “his” neighbor hood,), even those who were relatively blind to the deep differences that separate us cant help but stare and the gaping divide he has created. 2. The Scene Where Radio Raheem and Buggin out go into Sals Pizza and Blasting Fight The Power by Public Enemy Demanding that Sal put some pictures of black people on his wall of fame. I chose this scene because Radio Raheem and Buggin Out approach Sal as if he and his wall of fame are the embodiment of society of keeping the black man down. Rather than recognizing that these Italian men and women in the pictures inspired Sal just as Martin Luther King jr. and Malcom X inspire Raheem and Buggin Out they only see the color of there skin rather than the message of hope they send to a different community. 3. The Scene where Sal’s Pizza is destroyed. This Scene exemplifies the violence and hate that results when ignorance is left unchecked.

  
Lastly, fully develop your introductory paragraph. Remember that the best possible thesis will answer some specific question about the text. In this case a question related to the film’s power to transform political sensibilities regarding difference.:


  4a. Spike Lee’s film Do The Right Thing enforces stereotypes and does not have the power to change ones political sensibilities. Filled with characters stereo typical in the extreme Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing widens the divides created by deep differences. Each racial community is ignorant to the others and share in a similar feelings of indignence about there lives. Rather than searching for a way to unify or better their lives they wallow in self pity looking for someone to place the blame for their unhappiness on. A bleak tale that ends in hate and violence as all ignorance does Spike Lee’s Film doesn’t call for a change amongst all groups but rather sends a biased warning to one community of the dangers of those they will always have to live around.

Remember, you’re writing (developing) an analytical essay. Submit your thesis statement in the box below:


  1a. After “bearing witness” to the ‘homeplaces’ and environment of a particular group of people, one’s sensibilities can be changed.

  2a. (1). Through the challenges and hardships of growing up and living life in an economically challenged urban environment is something that these minority groups share. (2). In order for different groups of people to survive and live amongst each other, there needs to be a good balance of Love and Hate, which allows goals and accomplishments to be achieved. (3). At the end of the day, it’s not the appearance or color of skin that defines a person but rather their life experiences and what they’ve accomplished to get where they are today.


Identify three (3) scenes from the film that support your thesis statement. Briefly explain.:


  3a. (1). When Mookie is over at his girlfriends and goes into the kitchen, the Latin mother of the girlfriend expresses her thoughts and feelings towards Mookie in a language that he cannot understand. (2). The group of Latin guys compete volume levels of their Latin music against a black man and his music. Even though these two ethnic groups don’t get along, the Latins will support the Blacks late when a young black name is killed. (3).Just before neighborhood store is about to be overrun by an angry mod of mostly African Americans, the Asian store owner shouts “I’m not white, I’m not white, I’m black like you” to express that he is a minority and part of the community.

Lastly, fully develop your introductory paragraph. Remember that the best possible thesis will answer some specific question about the text. In this case a question related to the film’s power to transform political sensibilities regarding difference.:


  4a. After “bearing witness” to the ‘homeplaces’ and environment of a particular group of people, one’s sensibilities can be changed. Even though minorities have conflicts and don’t always agree with one another, they can join and come together against a particular threat, in this case the “the machine”. Through the challenges and hardships of growing up and living life in an economically challenged urban environment is something that these minority groups share. They must learn to survive and live amongst each other, which can only be achieved with a good balance of Love and Hate. And with this Love and Hate balance, goals and accomplishments are able to be achieved. At the end of the day, it’s not the appearance or color of skin that defines a person but rather their life experiences and what they’ve accomplished to get where they are today.

Here is the information for the essay:  

States fund emergency management programs in different ways.  Describe each of the ways that emergency management programs are funded.  After you have described funding programs, describe what you believe to be the best way for a state to fund an emergency management program.

Here is the format and example for the paper to be written:
Solution 1
The purpose of this assignment is to choose the best funding program.  The question at issue is which funding program I believe is the best one to utilize.  I have gathered information from a variety of sources to include FEMA which illustrates the various models…

The example below should help you finish it out.
Solution 2:  Develop Extensive Drills and Preparedness Evaluations

The purpose of this alternative is to test existing plans prior to an event to ensure the level of preparedness is sufficient.  The assumption is that sufficient knowledge and resources are available to plan robust preparedness drills and evaluations.  The point of view is that of the person responsible for emergency preparedness and response for the organization.  Evidence shows that organizations that test their plans and implement corrective actions are able to improve their plans and respond better when an actual event occurs.  The concept or theory of this alternative is based on the fact that the more a plan is tested, the more gaps can be identified and rectified prior to an actual event occurring.  The conclusion is that the emergency preparedness drills are effective in identifying gaps in existing plans in order to implement corrective actions to ensure a proper level of response.  The consequence or implication is that not testing or evaluating existing plans can leave an organization with a false sense of security, thinking they have a plan in place and can react quickly and effectively during an actual event.  A plan is only as good as the implementation and execution of that plan.  And, that is what preparedness drills and evaluations indicate.
