The Balance of Power in American Government

The Balance of Power in the American Government
Learning Objective: Through intensive critical thinking and analysis of Articles I, I, and III of the U.S. Constitution, students learn how the balance of powers works in a republican form of government.

For this assignment, research any one of the topics listed below. Notice the conflicting interests of the parties involved in the issue. Do the mechanisms designed to balance the power of government between institutions and individuals continue to work? Has one center of power grown too powerful? Are individual rights being protected during these disputes? Include a discussion of the balancing mechanisms found in the U.S. Constitution and discussed in Federalist Papers 10, 47, and 51.

Book analysis on bells hook

Genre. Consider the type of publication you have and decide if it is
primary literature, secondary literature, or social media. What is the genre?
What are the implications of the genre for how you approach the material?
What do you or do you not expect to find in the material based on its
genre? How does your confidence in what the authors say change based on
just the genre of the article?
3. Relationship to Text – Context. Who are the authors and contributors
to the materials? What are their qualifications? Based on the qualifications
of the authors, what are your expectations? Think about whether the
authors may be biased given what you are able to learn about them. Who
is the intended audience?
4. Analysis. How is this text organized to serve its purpose? Are there
direct data sources such as figures and numbers used? Is there secondhand
knowledge such as someone describing results rather than showing
results? What are some of the arguments used to support the theses
presented? How are the theses supported?
5. Reader’s Voice. As you discuss the materials presented to you, what are
some questions you want your audience to think about as they read your
paper and as they read this research summary? How would you go about
engaging your audience in this topic? What are some questions vou could
ask about the societal and ethical implications of what you learned from
reading these materials.
Here are the rhetorical devices I want vou to analvze in each
assignment and use in your final paper:
Logos: The rhetorical appeal to the reader’s sense of reason or logic. The
author makes clear and logical connections between ideas using data and
facts or may show the logic through historical and literal analogies. It is
free of logical fallacies such as ad hominem, non-sequitur, or appeals to
ignorance.
Ethos: The rhetorical appeal whereby the author builds their credibility or
authority. This becomes apparent through the writer’s mastery of language,
use of verifiable sources, and an understanding of the counterarguments to
their thesis. Ethos is also apparent through the writer’s personal experience
and credentials
Pathos: The rhetorical appeal to the reader’s emotions whereby the writer
tries to persuade the reader to feel certain emotions through word choice
and/or provocative language which is meant to elicit anger, frustration,
sympathy, even humor.
Tone: Tone is the author’s attitude toward their subject and it is conveyed
through word use, figurative language, imagery, diction, and details. Tone
can be sentimental, arrogant, distant, or humorous.

1. A
Mail
Online article of May 25, 2016 read: A surrogate mother who gave birth to triplets for a man she has never
met despite his demands to abort one of the healthy babies is now suing for
custody of the children.
Melissa Cook,
48, from California, believes the father, reported to be a 50-year-old deaf
postal worker from Georgia who lives with his elderly parents, is unable to
care properly for the babies.
Her lawyers,
Harold Cassidy and Michael Caspino, say a recent change in California law has
effectively stripped surrogates and the children they carry of all rights and
argue such a position is unconstitutional.
‘Surrogacy
need to be fixed because right now the women who carry the babies and the
children have zero rights. No right whatsoever. And there needs to be balance
here.
‘The only
people with rights under the California statute are the people who write the
checks to get the babies. Nobody else matters. That is wrong. That needs to be
fixed.’
Discuss the ethical issues involved in surrogacy
and state how best to resolve the above ethical dilemma.

and communication skills by forcing us to develop and discuss complex concepts.
Goals:
·
create an academic essay of at least three full
pages of text

Health Care Communication and Advocacy

a) Identify an international health problem affecting a country of your choice
b) Assess 2 ways in which health care educators are addressing your selected health problems
