What can we learn from failed presidencies?

History tends to center on great or near-great presidents. Perhaps as much can be learned by examining the administration of a “failed” president, one that historians judge not to have measured up to the office. Among frequently mentioned presidents in this category are James Buchanan, Ulysses Grant, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, and Jimmy Carter.

Examine the presidential career of one of these presidents and write at least one paragraph in summary. What personal flaws seemed to handicap his administration? Did he have bad advisors? What major mistakes did he make? Why he was originally selected? Could he have succeeded under different circumstances?

Write at least one paragraph answering the following: What can we learn from failed presidencies? Is there an argument that all presidents are prisoner to circumstances or to the bad decisions of their predecessors?

How do you think history will look upon the Presidencies of George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump? (Be as objective as possible and use evidence to support your arguments) What can Joe Biden learn from past Presidents as he begins his term?

Describe the research methods and results of the article.

Your
assignment is to write a 3-5 page paper explaining and critiquing 1-3 scientific
journal articles. You may choose any topic that relates to the brain and
behavior. Pick a topic of interest to you. It could be related to mental
health, sleep, emotional processing, a new discovery or treatment option
related to a neurological disorder, sensory processing, basic neuroscience, or
a cognitive finding related to brain function. Be sure you find an experimental
study, not a meta-analysis or review paper.

You
should demonstrate an understanding of the article/s by discussing relevant
issues in a meaningful way and explain the strengths and weaknesses of the
study.

1)
Summarize the journal articles:
·
Describe

·
Why
was the research conducted?
·
What
was the hypothesis tested?
·
Whom
were the research participants or subjects? How many experimental groups where
there?
·
What
were the independent variables that were manipulated or measured? How did they
quantify or measure them?
·
What
were the dependent variables (the outcome measures)? How were they measured?
·
What
group differences (if any) were observed? What did this outcome imply about the
hypothesis or prior research findings?

2) Evaluate the articles:
·
What
were the main strengths of the study as it relates to study design?
·
What
were weaknesses or limitations?
·
How
could the study be replicated to improve it?
·
What
was the most critical result?
·
Was
there sufficient detail in the method to replicate the research?
·
Could
you assess the basic methods of the experiment and understand what was done?
·
Could
you evaluate the merit of the experimental design?
·
What
did you learn from reading these articles?

I included the journal article to use, this one alone will be fine, as it is quite long.
