The document discusses political ideology and how it relates to American politics. It makes three key points:
1) Political culture refers to the shared values and beliefs that provide stability and a common language for political debate. It is passed down through social institutions.
2) Core American political values include individualism, fair processes, democracy, freedom, and equality.
3) Ideologies represent sets of beliefs about politics, economics, and society that help people understand the world and place them on the liberal-conservative spectrum that structures political debates.
Constitutional Foundations--Institutions and CompromisesKacee Garner
Ìý
The document discusses several key compromises that were made during the creation of the US Constitution. It summarizes that delegates represented differing interests and values, so the Constitution was crafted through a series of compromises. Some of the major compromises included establishing a federal system that balanced national and state powers, creating a bicameral legislature to give representation to both small and large states, implementing the electoral college system for electing the president, and developing checks and balances between the three branches of government. Overall, the Constitution was designed through compromise to create a new democratic system of government.
This document provides information about the 20th Annual Conference of Net Impact, an international organization that promotes social entrepreneurship, corporate social responsibility, and addressing social problems. The conference was held from October 25-27, 2012 in Baltimore, Maryland and included keynotes, panels, workshops, and a career expo on topics like social innovation, environmental sustainability, and international development. It also highlighted organizations like Wartburg College and their involvement, and featured speakers discussing risk-taking in pursuing social change.
The document discusses several key events and issues that influenced the founding of the United States Constitution: 1) The English Civil War in the 1600s established debates around the rights of Parliament versus the monarch; 2) The 13 original colonies were established between 1607-1629 for different reasons but had self-governance traditions; 3) The French and Indian War and subsequent British taxation of the colonies without representation led to tensions and the American Revolution; 4) The Articles of Confederation, the first governing framework, had several weaknesses around sovereignty, taxation, and economic issues that necessitated the Constitutional Convention.
Landmines have been used extensively in wars to maim soldiers and drain resources. Over 100 countries have signed a treaty banning their use but some continue production while over 80 countries have landmine contamination. Each year there are 20,000 landmine casualties with half being children. Landmines hamper post-conflict reconstruction and development by preventing safe resettlement of refugees and restricting access to farmland and infrastructure. Countries like Mozambique and Bosnia and Herzegovina still have large numbers of landmines decades after their conflicts ended, continuing to kill and injure people each month. New technologies are being developed and tested to help clear mines more quickly and safely.
1) The document summarizes the history of medical experimentation and abuse of Black Americans from colonial times to the present. It describes how Black people were subjected to unethical and nonconsensual medical experiments, procedures without anesthesia, and the denial of treatment.
2) One example discussed is the Tuskegee Syphilis Study from 1932-1972, where hundreds of Black men with syphilis were denied treatment even after penicillin was available, so researchers could study the long-term effects of the untreated disease.
3) The document argues that medical abuse of Black Americans mirrored the larger culture of racism and inequality, and only improved as the social and legal conditions for Black people improved over time.
This document discusses the history of civil rights and race relations in the United States from the founding era to modern times. It covers key events and court cases such as the Missouri Compromise, Dred Scott decision, Civil War, Jim Crow laws, Brown v. Board of Education, Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, and issues surrounding Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans. The overall themes are the long struggle for racial equality and equal protection under the law, as well as the forms discrimination and disadvantage have taken for historically marginalized groups.
Constitutional Foundations: Instutionas and Compromises 2009Kacee Garner

The document discusses the many compromises that were necessary to draft the US Constitution. It describes the disagreements between delegates over issues like state representation, counting slaves for population, presidential selection, and limiting executive power. Through compromises like the bicameral legislature, electoral college, and system of checks and balances, the delegates were able to address differing interests and craft a governing framework that was eventually ratified by the necessary number of states.
The document discusses the First Amendment's protection of religious freedom and the conflict between individual religious practices and government regulation of health and safety. It specifically examines a case involving a church in Ohio that handled poisonous snakes and drank poison as part of their worship services. After media attention, the state legislature changed the law to ban these practices, seeing them as a health hazard. Members of the church argued this violated their religious freedom. The document then explores the complex relationship between religious freedom and government authority more broadly.

HeLa: Moral, Ethical and Legal questionsKacee Garner
Ìý
This document discusses the legal, ethical, and moral issues surrounding the use of HeLa cells, which were taken from Henrietta Lacks without her consent in 1951 and were instrumental in scientific advances but also raised questions about informed consent and the commercialization of human genetic material. It defines moral, ethical, and legal standards and their development and consequences. It examines specific moral issues like whether human genetic material can be cloned or combined cross-species and what obligations we have to society to allow our bodies to be used medically. Ethical issues discussed include obtaining informed consent, protecting patient anonymity, and corporations patenting human genetic material. Legal issues addressed cover ownership of body parts, legal privacy standards, patenting genetic information, and ensuring laws
Structural violence refers to systematic social structures or institutions that cause harm to individuals by preventing them from meeting their basic needs and denying them access to resources. It can include issues like racism, sexism, and poverty that are built into social, political, and economic systems. Some effects of structural violence are that it constrains individual agency and creates structural barriers and inequalities. Examples provided include that poverty and income inequality in the US contribute to hundreds of thousands of deaths each year and much higher infant mortality rates among African Americans compared to Caucasians. Nearly half a billion people worldwide do not have access to adequate sanitation facilities.
The document discusses different types of citizenship and their views on the role and scope of government. Duty-based citizens emphasize individual responsibility and restrict social programs, while engaged citizens support activist government and social services. It also examines Americans' views on democratic values like inclusion, participation, and social democracy. Dalton finds that while Americans attach more importance to citizenship duties than other countries, younger Americans score higher in both duty and engaged citizenship.
The document discusses Russell Dalton's definition of citizenship and analyzes changes that have affected citizenship in modern America. It outlines three aspects of citizenship: public participation, state authority, and social rights. It also describes two dimensions of citizenship: duty citizenship and engaged citizenship. Dalton argues that a decline in duty citizenship has been balanced by a rise in engaged citizenship due to factors like modernization, generational change, education, technology, labor changes, gender changes, racial changes, and religious changes. Dalton suggests this shift in citizenship norms will continue to reshape democratic politics as both duty and engagement citizenship are important but also have limitations.
Public opinion polling has played an important role in American democracy since its founding. Early forms of polling included straw polls conducted at polling places and surveys in newspapers. Abraham Lincoln recognized the importance of understanding public opinion as president. The rise of social sciences in the early 20th century led to the development of modern opinion polling. George Gallup established scientific polling methods through his American Institute of Public Opinion in 1936. Subsequent presidents like FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Clinton, and Bush all utilized polling to varying degrees to inform their electoral and policy decisions. There are different types of polls including national polls, campaign polls, exit polls, and pseudo polls which are not scientifically conducted. It is important for the public to scrutinize polling
