Presidential Commission on Expanding Opportunity and Reducing Inequality in America with a Focus on the Education System

/in /by

President Biden has named you the chair of his “Presidential Commission on Expanding Opportunity and Reducing Inequality in America”. Drawing from the course readings and your weekly response papers (as well as your outside research), develop a comprehensive plan containing recommendations for the public policies that you recommend be adopted and why.

 

Why did you decide on the approach/policies you chose rather than a different approach or set of policies? Which of your recommended policies are most important and why? What level of government (local, state, or federal) is likely to be the most effective at designing and implementing these policies? In what areas might markets or tax incentives or private charity (rather than government policy) be the best approach? What kinds of political changes might need to occur to enable your plan to become a reality?

 

While your briefings will provide some of the raw material for your paper, you will need to do more than merely cutting and pasting them together.  Be sure to make a clear and sustained argument, to support it with evidence, and to draw explicitly from the course readings as well as from at least 6 outside sources of which at least 3 must be academic sources (journal articles or books).  Encyclopedias (especially Wikipedia) are NOT acceptable sources.  The papers must contain footnotes or endnotes and a bibliography—in a consistent format of your choosing.

Focus: on the education system in America, what policies can be put in place to ensure equal education to all children? Talk about how other issues play into the education system ex. food insecurity, lack of resources due to financial issues, mental and physcial problems of the child that cannot afford to be fixed, etc.

Sources

-Books to refer to: Our Kids by Robert D. Putnam, The Governmnet-Citizen Disconnect by Suzanne Mettler, and Inequality in America by Steven M. Caliendo

-Must have 6 outside sources; 3 academic and 3 regular

Pathophysiology Paper

Gigantism

Instructions

Your paper should include the underlined items below as section headings.

APA 7th edition Title page:

  • This is a separate page by itself, with the following information centered in the middle of the page: course title, paper title, student’s name, instructor’s name, and date.

Description of Pathology:

  • Start the paper on a new page.
  • In this section, you will describe the pathology (statistics about it, background information, etc.). Give as much information as you can about it but be sure it is relevant information and not just filler. It should be a comprehensive introductory section of the condition in one to two paragraphs.

Normal anatomy of the major body system affected: In this section, you will describe what is considered normal anatomy for your particular pathophysiology. For example, if you are discussing a disease related to the brain, explain what is normal for the brain from an anatomical standpoint. You should show comprehensive knowledge of the fundamental concepts and communicate information using scientific vocabulary. There should be little to no discussion of the condition itself in this section.

Normal physiology of the major body system affected: In this section, you will be discussing physiology. Keep in mind that when describing physiology, it isn’t enough to merely provide a list of functions of the body system (Ex: Neurons send signals throughout the body), instead, you need to be able to describe how it does it. The how is the physiology. There should be little to no discussion of the condition itself in this section

Mechanism of Pathophysiology: This section is likely going to be the most in-depth and longest section. In this section, you will explain your particular pathophysiology from a scientific standpoint. In the previous two sections, you explained what is considered normal, in this section, you should describe what the pathophysiology is doing that is causing these issues, how the normal anatomy & physiology is affected/different in a person with your condition. You should show a thorough understanding of the anatomical and physiological changes contributing to the disease. Some good keywords to search for when doing your research might be “Pathology of __________”, Pathophysiology of __________.”

Prevention: In this section, you will explain how your pathophysiology could be prevented. This should outline possible prevention protocols, or clearly indicate if none is available based on the current scientific literature.

Treatment: In this section, you will explain how your pathophysiology is commonly treated. Provide possible treatment protocols for the condition based on current scientific literature. Be sure to bring in nursing relevant information and how you might be involved in the treatment of the condition.

Conclusion: Finally you should summarize your findings. All good research papers should include a conclusion where you wrap up and summarize all of the important points made in your paper.

References:

  • As with the Title page, this should be a separate page by itself.
  • All references should be included in correct and complete APA format.
  • All references must be cited appropriately in the paper using APA-style in-text citations.
  • A minimum of three reputable sources are required for this assignment.

 

 

Requirements for Topic, Length, & Submission

Students will be assigned individual topics related to physiology and pathological conditions of physiological systems by their instructor. You must write your paper based on your assigned topic. 

Your paper must be submitted as a PDF (.pdf) or Word document (.doc or .docx). These are the only file types that will be accepted.

social media in italy vs america

*THIS PAPER MUST BE WRITTEN IN ITALIAN*

INSTRUCTIONS: Goal:

The goal of this assignment is to come to some insight regarding the commonalities and differences between Italian and American societies by doing some research on a specific topic that relates to both Italian and American societies and comparing the findings. Because of the limitations of time, it is recognized that the research must also be limited. Yet, it is hoped that the comparison yields at least the beginning of a new appreciation of Italian and American cultures.

Process:

Each student will select a topic from the ones listed below (or another of the student’s interest, with the approval of the professor).

The student will then do some general research on the theme, providing important statistical information that helps define the issue and the current trends relating to it, as well as the current laws [la legge] in the respective countries regarding the issue. National Italian sources of statistics should be consulted: Istat.it [N.B. This site is also available in English translation].

American sources can include https://www.usa.gov/statistics,

https://www.bls.gov, https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/statistics, among many others. There are many sites on the Internet that will allow you to get information in English on Italian laws.

3. The student will then find four short newspaper articles (2 each regarding America and Italy) published in the last year that illustrate a trend or cultural attitude regarding the issue. (The articles may be in English or Italian).

The trend may indicate a change from traditional or previous ideas or a continuation of the status quo. The articles on the same culture should illuminate different aspects of the issue.

Many short articles in Italian can be found in online Italian newspapers: La repubblica (www.repubblica.it), I/ corriere della sera (www.corrierelit). Some articles in English on Italian issues can be found in www.thelocal.it, www.osservatoreromano.va/en, or in the NY Times (www.nytimes.com) or Wall Street Journal (www.wsj.com), the latter two of which are available in the lona Library Database.

4. The student will write a report in which he or she defines the issue, summarizes these four articles in English, making sure to paraphrase (not copy) and to cite the source of the articles (give the web address). In the last part of the paper the student will consider as carefully as possible, recognizing the limits of the data, the implications of the articles and how they might suggest differences or commonalities between the U.S. and Italy regarding this theme.

Medical Anthropology and why it’s important

Your research must contain a minimum of 8 scholarly sources of reference.  Educational and government websites (generally denoted by a .gov or .edu  address suffix) are acceptable sources (in addition to the 8 scholarly sources), but the focus of your research should be on scholarly journal articles which can be found through the library’s research page.

You must cite all of the sources that you use when writing the paper.  A citation is necessary in your paper for any information that you paraphrase or directly quote. Please be sure to use quotation marks for direct quotes and cite the page number.  If you do not have direct personal knowledge of the information that you use in the paper, then a citation is required.  When in doubt—cite! This is not an opinion paper, but a discussion of research about your chosen topic. Be sure to cite your sources in the body of the paper and list them in a bibliography.  Please use MLA formats for citations and bibliographies and Documentation Style

Final Essay Guidelines (choose all):.
● Check your essay for spelling, grammar, sentence structure, clarity, and word choice,
just as you did for your intro paragraph.
● Use only assigned materials from the course. Do not use external sources, even if
you cite them.

Compose a title and intro paragraph for your final essay, using the following guidelines:
● 4-6 sentences for the intro
● Must begin by posing a question
● Must have a thesis statement that reflects your answer to the question (see below
for thesis statement guidelines)
● Do not begin with generalizations (from the beginning of time….all human beings
wonder…etc) and do not include biographical information about the philosophers
you will be discussing. I know who they are. Get straight to the point by posing the
question, and then tell your reader how you will answer that question (your thesis).
That’s all you need to do to begin your essay.
● After posing the question and stating the thesis, tell the reader how you will support
your thesis. Which authors and texts (only use authors and texts assigned in this
course, nothing else)? What reasons and evidence? How will the essay be organized?
● Indicate the “stakes” of your essay. Why does it matter in today’s world? Why should
we consult philosophers to help us think about the question you’re asking? How is
philosophy relevant?
Thesis Statement Guidelines:
● A thesis is not a title: Homes and schools (title) vs. Parents ought to participate
more in the education of their children (good thesis).
● A thesis is not an announcement of the subject: My subject is the incompetence of
the Supreme Court vs. The Supreme Court made a mistake when it ruled in favor of
George W. Bush in the 2000 election.
● A thesis is not a statement of absolute fact: Jane Austen is the author of Pride and
Prejudice.
● A thesis is not the whole essay: A thesis is your main
idea/claim/refutation/problem-solution expressed in a single sentence or a
combination of sentences.
● Please note that according to the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers,
Sixth Edition, “A thesis statement is a single sentence that formulates both your topic
and your point of view” (Gibaldi 56). However, if your paper is more complex and
requires a thesis statement, your thesis may require a combination of sentences.
Make sure you follow these guidelines when creating your thesis:
● A good thesis is unified: Detective stories are not a high form of literature, but people
have always been fascinated by them, and many fine writers have experimented with
them (floppy). vs. Detective stories appeal to the basic human desire for thrills
(concise).
● A good thesis is specific: James Joyce’s Ulysses is very good. vs. James Joyce’s
Ulysses helped create a new way for writers to deal with the unconscious.
● Try to be as specific as possible (without providing too much detail) when creating
your thesis: James Joyce’s Ulysses helped create a new way for writers to deal with
the unconscious. vs. James Joyce’s Ulysses helped create a new way for writers to
deal with the unconscious by utilizing the findings of Freudian psychology and
introducing the techniques of literary stream-of-consciousness
