“Examining Ideology and the Role of Government: A Reflection on Contemporary Issues” EFO Model and the Role of the Federal Government EFO Model and the Role of the Federal Government: Exploring My Ideological Placement and Views
This essay covers material from throughout the class. Unlike the final, it is not timed, but is due BEFORE the deadline for the exam (since I need time to grade them). It should be around 2 pages (about 400-500 words), but you can go a little longer if you feel you need to. Feel free to use bullet points/numbering if it makes it easier, but be sure that you use complete sentences and proper grammar in your answer.
The goal of this assignment is for you to relate your values to what you learned in this class. Students will analyze the role of government in contemporary issues and demonstrate understanding of how political ideology shapes our views of the role of government.
You will not be graded on your ideology, but you will be graded on whether you can explain how your ideology (and your understanding of class material) relates to your views of government. This is the last assignment that I grade before submitting final grades, so be sure to do well, and answer all parts of the assignment. If you are borderline A/B or B/C, your grade on this can make the difference.
You may want to re-take the Ideology quiz, sinceLinks to an external site. you haven’t taken it in a while, but you can also just use your results from earlier in the semester.
You should only use the material from this class (such as the ideology lecture) to do the assignment, since outside sources often don’t explain the EFO model very well. However, if you use outside sources, be sure to cite them.
How much should the federal government do?
One of the big questions we’ve discussed in this class is the role of the federal government. The Coronavirus (COVID-19) has brought this question to the forefront of American politics. Answer the following questions about ideology and the role of government.
After re-taking the EFO quiz and reviewing the ch1 module, explain the EFO model (remember to use the definitions from the lecture and cite slide #s; don’t use outside sources, since they often use the wrong definitions). What are the 4 ideologies and what do they believe? Be specific. (6 points; paragraph)
Insert a picture/screenshot of your placement on the EFO model in this assignment (Word is free for students and makes it easy to insert graphics into an essay; contact the helpdesk if you have difficulty with Word). You MUST include a screenshot of your placement or you will NOT get credit for this assignment. Reflect on your placement. What does it say about how much you care about Freedom, Order and Equality in general. (6 points; short paragraph plus screenshot of your placement)
Review the ACA lecture from Public Policy (Economic & Domestic Policy) module. Explain one provision of the ACA from the lecture and explain why you favor or oppose government involvement in that. Be sure to cite the slide # of the lecture in your answer (3 points; short paragraph)
Does your placement on the EFO model fit your views on the federal government involvement in either healthcare, Covid or gas prices? Referring back to part 2, discuss your placement in the EFO model (what it means for Equality, Freedom and Order), and whether your views were consistent with your placement? Be specific (explain). Note: It’s okay not to be consistent all the time (recall Emerson’s quote from the Courts lecture). (4 points; paragraph)*** (see note below)
Thinking back on Lasswell’s definition of Politics, what does Roesler mean when he says that there often isn’t a “right” answer in politics? How does it relate to this discussion of “choices over conflicting values” as illustrated by the EFO model? (4 points; paragraph)
***note: The point here is to reflect on your ideology and your response to the role of government. There’s no right answer here, but you do need to correctly relate your ideology with the role (or lack of role) you wish to see the government play in these issues. How much the government should do will depend on your priorities in the EFO model. You need to explain where you fit and how that relates to your view on the role of the federal government. However, if your placement on the EFO model doesn’t fit your answer in this specific question, you should acknowledge that it doesn’t fit with the model. It’s okay to be inconsistent sometimes (you can invoke Emerson), but I want you to explain why you think it was inconsistent.

“Exploring the Impact of Social Media on Society: A Critical Analysis”
I have attached the instructions and the unfinished draft that I wrote. The draft, as you will see, is mostly just brainstorming. I just need help organizing my thoughts.
-
“Journey of Self-Discovery: A Poem and Short Story Analysis” “Enhancing Readability and Emotional Appeal: Strategies for Effective Writing”
attached is the instructions, including the short story and poem. please read directions carefully. and below is the feedback to the poem and short story. poem: 1. What imagery or lines in this poem are the most powerful to you?
The lines that are most powerful to me in this poem is,
“Here, within this holy inner part is where I feel totally rejuvenated.
I am my happiest when I am alone.
And the murmur of my thoughts seem to wane.
Moreover, I rekindle a sense of determination.”
This stuck out to me because of how much this expresses the peace the narrator feels alone. This gives the audience a look into how at-peace the narrator is with themselves as a person and a soul. It is very powerful and conveys self-love and confidence. 2. What imagery or lines in this poem are the least powerful to you?
The line that was the least powerful to me was,
“However, the sound of the town slowly starts to deminish.”
This line was the least powerful because it just seemed like it was an add-on to the stanza. In the first stanza, the comparison between the bustle and loudness of the city to how the narrator escapes to their inner self to get away from that, already suggests that the sounds have began to deminish. 3. Do you see any particular rhyme scheme (this will probably be the shortest answer)?
There seems to be no specific rhyme scheme or pattern to this poem, which illustrates how flowy the poem is, as the narrator seems to just speak their mind.
4. Are any parts of this poem confusing?
There were no confusing parts of this poem, as the message of being at peace with oneself and escaping to the mind to get away from the chaos was deepy conveyed. 5. What suggestion can you provide for improvement on this poem? (You MUST suggest something. ALL drafts can be changed somehow, even if just for experimentation.)
The only thing I believe should be changed is the line at the end of stanza two. The beginning of the poem already suggests that the sound of the city is silenced as the narrator dives into their thoughts. The only thing that I would suggest instead is maybe a few more lines on just how silent and free the narrator feels within their own presence and thoughts short story: The narrative centers on Thomas, who, upon finding an antiquated key and a cryptic note in his grandmother’s attic, is drawn into the enigmatic depths of a moonlit forest. This key is the gateway to a secret nestled within a venerable greenhouse, unveiling a mesmerizing tableau of his grandparents’ cherished recollections. This tale is an odyssey of self-discovery, delving into the ethereal nature of familial ties. As the story states, “Thomas was filled with the sounds and images of the past,” highlighting the central theme of memory and connection.
The narrative’s most compelling aspect is the lucid portrayal of the greenhouse and its enchanting metamorphosis. The depiction of the rose bush, bathed in the glow of the key’s enchantment, is especially evocative: “One rose bush was highlighted… shining as the spell touched it.” This moment captures the enchantment of the setting and the emotional depth of Thomas’s experience, making it a memorable and impactful part of the narrative.
Conversely, the narrative’s potential shortcomings include the scant development of Thomas’s persona and the story’s succinctness. Despite the richly detailed magical elements, Thomas remains an enigma, defined solely by his actions. Furthermore, the redundancy in the concluding segment may be perceived as superfluous, failing to contribute fresh insights or emotional depth to the narrative.
To elevate the story, enriching Thomas’s character would instill greater depth and engage the reader’s empathy. Introducing dilemmas or hurdles could infuse the tale with suspense and vigor. For example, Thomas might grapple with the choice between lingering in the beguiling past or confronting the starkness of reality. Additionally, honing the narrative to eradicate redundancy and enhance coherence would bolster its readability and emotive impact. -

“Building a Successful Athletic Program: Priorities and Strategies for a New Athletic Director at a NCAA Division I, II, or III University”
You’ve been selected as the athletic director for one of the following universities (you pick!) in your home state. Write a 4 page paper (Times New Roman, double-spaced, 12 inch) in which you identify the important aspects that you will consider in your first year at the university. Address how you will approach the following, based on knowledge you have culminated throughout the class:
Leadership and management, compliance and Title IX, Academics, Eligibility, and Life Skills, Media Relations, Financial Operations, Marketing, Sponsorship, Facility and Event Management, Alumni Relations and Development, and Support Services.
Be specific and provide detail. Incorporate 4 sources (1 can be your textbook).
NCAA Division I university, FBS, with a 2-10 football team, commuter campus (students aren’t around much to attend games), and is on probation due to an NCAA violation in recruiting.
NCAA Division II university with a history of success in women’s volleyball and men’s wrestling, but lack of athletic success in football and women’s basketball. You are short staffed in your athletic offices
NCAA Division III university which is a powerhouse in men’s hockey, cannot provide athletic scholarships (obviously) and sponsors 24 different sports.
