Category: / Political Science

Below is a starting draft I require it to be more elaborate and touch on all of these points. I have also added citations and the links to the data I will utilize.
– Introduction. The introduction should succinctly state the research question your design addresses and why it is important or what puzzle motivates it. It should also briefly outline the design itself, the method and data. Finally, use the introduction to tell the reader what you plan to do with the design: whether you plan to develop it into a research paper or whether it is more exploratory.
– Previous Literature. Broader political science literature within which your research question is located; show why the narrower topic you address is important within that literature; and identify a gap which
the study you propose would fill. It is important to be specific in this last point: identify the most recent and prominent papers which are closest to addressing your research question, or which have
addressed the question in a different way. Explain very clearly how your research design is different, and will improve upon or complement those contributions.
– Research Question. Here, you need to explicitly state the research question/puzzle and hypothesis
that you will test in your design. This does not mean that you need to have a fully-fledged theoretical
discussion; a relatively short descriiption of the theoretical intuition or puzzle behind the hypothesis
will suffice. You may have to discuss the specificities of the cases you examine, if these are relevant
to the design. However, the question/hypothesis should not simply be stated without any
explanation.
– Method. Explain and justify the research method you propose to use to test your hypothesis. This
should probably be taken from one of the weeks of the POS 503 syllabus. Refer to the relevant
readings to explain the assumptions underlying the method, its strengths and weaknesses. If you plan
to run a regression, specify the regression equation here. Tell the reader whether your research design
will allow you to make causal claims and how; if it does not, explain why. Explain explicitly the logic
of applying this specific design to your specific research hypothesis. Tell the reader why you have
chosen to use this method rather than others which could be more robust or have been used by
other researchers to answer your question.
– Data & Measurement. Define the independent and dependent variables in your design. Discuss the
process of case selection or sampling, how the relevant variables are measured and what data sources
you propose to use. Justify your choices in measurement, discussing how your measures relate to the
relevant underlying concepts and alternative measures if relevant. Discuss which control variables
you will use and if you are unable to control for relevant factors, explain why. If preliminary data are
available, present them in an informative way.
– Conclusion. Use the conclusion to sum up your research design and its strengths and weaknesses.
You could also make some comments on areas which still need to be finalized or expanded upon,
and on the general feasibility of carrying out your design.
-Findings and connections
– Appendix
Please treat this as if it is to be turned into a journal (it will not)
OLS REGRESSION WILL NOT BE NEEDED I WILL INCORPORATE THAT.

Watch and read the transcriipt of the opening statements of the first debate (Oct. 12) between Elaine Luria and Jen Kiggans, candidates for Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District (available from CSPAN broadcast at https://www.c-span.org/video/?523485-1/virginia-2nd-congressional-district-debateLinks to an external site. Links to an external site. – opening statements begin at 3m43s and conclude at 7m48s). After reading through the transcriipt, go through it again and identify shared themes (ideas, concepts or tactics used by both candidates) and key differences, Provide the following:
List 3 -5 codes (codes are like labels i.e. you found that both candidates were “engaging”, mentioned “policies” to bring reform. I have attached a coding doc to further help you understand the term) you developed and noted as you read transcriipt
Summarize where the candidates are similar in their opening statements in one to two paragraphs – use example quote(s) to illustrate your points
In one to two paragraphs identify any key differences between the two opening statements – use example quote(s) to illustrate your points
Reflect briefly on what might underpin the key differences (e.g. political ideology, individual personality, life experiences).

Considering the threats posed by a nuclear North Korea, or ongoing tensions and hostilities between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan, how should the international community proceed to reduce the risks and curtail nuclear proliferation?

Write a 5-page essay regarding the socio-political issues from jim crow law and how it is represented in Texas’s Politics today.

I need a presentation that has an OLS Regression created using STATA utilizing the data and finidings within the paper below. The Graphs, and tables should show a correlation between elected women and the positive trend of support/tolerance for progressive immigration policy. Should incorporate a lit review slide, a slide with the graphs and regression, the rest to your discretion as long as it incorporates point from the paper.

Required Resources
Read/review the following resources for this activity:
Textbook: Chapter 11, 12
Lesson
Minimum of 2 scholarly sources in addition to the textbook.
Instructions
This assignment is comprised of 2 parts, the first of which is due this week. Part II will be due in Week 7.
In Part I this week, choose a case from your state (Florida) that involves civil rights or civil liberties that was decided by the United States Supreme Court. If your state does not have a case that was decided by the United States Supreme Court, choose a civil rights case from another state for which the United States Supreme Court issued a decision.
Here is a brief description of civil rights and civil liberties: Civil rights refers to equal social opportunities under the law. It gives you these freedoms such as the right to vote, the right to public education, or a fair trial, among other things, regardless of your wealth or race. Civil liberties mean freedom of religion, equal treatment and due process under the law, and the right to privacy.
You should be able to go online and look up your state and famous cases decided by the Supreme Court. For example, Brown v Board of Education (1951) started in Topeka, Kansas and ended up in the Supreme Court of the United States. Another example would be Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley v Steve Sisolak, Governor of Nevada (2020) that started in Nevada and ended up the United States Supreme Court. A good source of information about cases decided by the United States Supreme Court is www.scotusblog.com. Other sources can be researched online using search terms for “civil rights cases decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.” Be sure to use a case actually decided by the United States Supreme Court, and not a case decided by your state’s supreme court or a different court. A case that is still pending before the United States Supreme Court should not be used.
Research your court case and write an outline of the case that you will be using to prepare a presentation, which will either be a narrated PowerPoint, a Kaltura Video, or some other format as approved by your instructor. If you are unsure, then verify the presentation format with your instructor before starting work on this assignment.
This week’s assignment should include (a) summary of the case; (b) a case outline; and a summary.
A. Summary of the Case
In one or two paragraphs, provide a general overview of the case that serves as a snapshot of what the case is about and how it ended up in your state high court. A summary is using your words to write a brief history of the case. Do not give your opinion or your interpretation but stick to the facts only.
B: Case Outline
Your court case outline should include:
Title: Name of the case
Facts of the case: Provide key facts involving the case.
History of the case: What legal action was taken based on what your state laws say about this case?
Legal questions: What were the legal issues the court had to decide?
Decision or holdings: Did the court decide for the plaintiff or the defendant? Explain the reason behind the decision?
Verdict and opinion (judgement): What were the concurring and dissenting opinions? How many judges decided for the defendant and how many justices decided against the defendant? What was the final verdict from the judge or the jury, if it was a jury trial?
C. Conclusion
What was the resulting impact of the ruling? How did the citizens of your state benefit from it? Was this a good decision?
Writing Requirements (APA format)
The length of your outline will vary. Usually an outline is anywhere from 1-3 pages long. Make sure to write full sentences to explain your case. It is a concise list to be used as a reference for you during the presentation.
Using the outline, you will be describing the court case in your presentation and the scenario around the court case. The use of Wikipedia as a primary source of information is to be avoided – it is not a reliable source of information.
Search for an example of a case outline in the Internet. Without going into much detail at this state, each of the items listed above has a subject sentence with 3-6 bullet points that can help you expand on the topic.
For Week 7, you will be creating a narrated PowerPoint, or a video as approved by your instructor, from this week’s outline.
1-inch margins

!!! This Assignment is a continue assignment from previous memo 2. I have attached my previous memo below.

Research question: Can racial balance be achieved without affirmative action policies in elite universities (Princeton, Yale, Harvard)?

Below are my remarks on the instruction file:
Please, do identify the dependent and independent variables.
The research purpose being pursued is “Descriiptive Study,” which makes this research quantitative research, meaning you will be using existing data/literature to complete the paper.
You are free to decide on the time dimension of the study.
I think probability sampling can provide some leeway going forward with the research. Or you can decide whether to choose probability or non-probability sampling.
When you get to data collection, like I mentioned earlier that this is a quantitative research, so you will be using data collection techniques such old survey, interviews and review of secondary data.
For the ethical concerns part, I was not able to find any ethical issues but if you find any do mention.(voluntary participation, informed consent, anonymity, confidentiality, potential for harm, and results communication).
