Course Project Proposal

Your course project will focus on a particular social movement that has had an impact on American society. Examples of potential topics include the Abolitionist (Anti-Slavery) Movement, the Civil Rights Movement, the Women’s Rights Movement, the Environmental Movement, and the Anti-Apartheid Movement.

This week you will submit the proposal for your course project. It should include the following components:

1. Description of the social movement you have chosen, why you have chosen it, what you already know about it, and what you hope to learn through your research.
2. One-page, double spaced.
3. Title page that includes the working title for your project.
4. Reference list with at least three scholarly sources about your topic. These scholarly sources should be articles or books obtained from the Rasmussen Library databases.

Be sure that the components to your paper are properly formatted in APA. You can find resources on APA formatting here.

I need a draft of this for this week and a final version next week

THIS IS WHAT IS PART OF TWO PARTS THIS WEEK I NEED THE DRAFT AND NEXT WEEK I NEED THE FINAL VERSION

Instructions 

Construct a 4-6 page paper that fully explores each of the following areas: 

1)  Review your experiences with loss and death during childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.

2)  Create an inventory (list) and describe each influential loss experience including attitudes and specific practices surrounding the death experience.

3)  Analyze the impact of your loss experiences on your present attitudes toward death by identifying at least 6 concepts from our text relevant to your experiences.  Concepts may examine current trends, attitudes and end-of-life issues such as suicide, grief, and widowhood, or delve into cultural and religious practices, media influence, and socialization. These concepts may be integrated into your inventory and description.  Make sure to clearly identify and define each concept and then apply it to the analysis of your exp

There are multiple parts to this assignment; for full credit, please respond to them all. Keep in mind that this is a graded assignment and I am primarily looking for inclusion of assigned course material. Have fun!

1. Federalist Papers: Expand your understanding of Federalist Paper 10, Federalist Paper 51, and Anti-Federalist Paper #1 by examining the arguments made in each of these documents and their role in contemporary government and politics. Do the limits on power enshrined in our Constitution and articulated in these Federalist Papers continue to work today? For Federalist Paper 10, Federalist Paper 51, and anti-Federalist Paper #1:

a. Explain the central argument made and why it was important in the context of then-proposed Constitution.

b. Apply the argument made to an example of contemporary politics. Do the arguments made in these Federalist Papers still apply today? Explain why or why not.

c. What would the Federalists have thought about the current conflict between the President and Congress over the funding of a border wall? Did the Federalists intend that the President should be able to get whatever he wants by holding government funding hostage?

2. The U.S. Constitution: If you were writing a Constitution for the United States today, what would be some of the major ideas you would like that Constitution to reflect?What is important is not which option you choose, but whyyou chose that option. Again, keep in mind that I am primarily interested in the integration of assigned course materials. You may also refer to contemporary media sources should you wish to do so.

a. Would you like the government set up by the Constitution to allow for majority rule on all issues, or would you rather allow minorities power to slow or even stop majority rule? Why?

b. Would you like a system that works rather rapidly to make and implement decisions, or would you like a system that works fairly slowly? Why?

c. Would you like a central government with great powers, state governments with great powers, or something in‑between? Why?

d. Would you like the power of the national government concentrated in one branch, such as in a parliamentary system, or diffused through two or more branches?Why?

e. How is the Constitution you have created similar or different from the U.S. Constitution? Have you always chosen the most democratic options (remember, the Founders of the U.S. Constitution often did not)? If not, what other values enter into the decision to choose the least democratic option? Were these the values that affected the decisions of the Founders of the U.S. Constitution?

1.     So the guy removed snow from a wrong car. So what? Was he efficient, effective, neither, or both? How can he avoid making the same mistake in the future?
