Listen to the oral arguments in Harrington v Purdue Pharma https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/audio/2023/23-124
Your assignment is to identify why the parties are in court (what were the circumstances leading to the case). Describe the overarching arguments of each side (what was their main reason they should prevail?). Identify which side you think should win, and why.
Based on what you know, how do you think the Court will decide, and why.
You can think one side should win but that the other side will prevail, that’s perfectly reasonable.

I want you to write about the Swedish healthcare system. This is because in Sweden they are known for having an extremely effective public healthcare system. This is a policy blog and within my blog I would like to discuss universal healthcare as a whole, Sweden healthcare financing, health outcomes and quality, and provide insight on differing healthcare policies that are placed in Sweden. in this I can discuss the different ways that Sweden is able to achieve such good public healthcare, and also go over the policies that are emplaced for this to succeed. The first paragraph should be why healthcare is important and then go on into the rest of the paper. Also, it shouldn’t be too descriptive and be more fact based. The essay shouldn’t be argumentative but it should be concluded that public healthcare is better and why. lastly, if you can add 2-3 relevant photos to the essay.
citation format and policy essay should look like this: https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/eurocrisispress/2022/05/25/the-cultural-veil/#more-6569

Paper needs to be at least 3-5 pgs, double spaced, and utilize outside research (See refrences for sources).
write about the current issue regarding that Amendment:   A Title Page is not necessary and does not count toward page length. A reference page also does not count toward page length, but should be included. 
Thesis Statement(you could use this in the paper): Recent legislation in Texas as well as other states imposing crucial or, in some cases, complete restrictions on abortion directly challenges the fundamental rights established by Roe v. Wade. This thesis is going to look at the historical context of Roe v. Wade, the judicial foundations it placed for abortion rights, and the implications for present state-level restrictions that are aimed at weakening these protections, potentially establishing the stage for a major legal battle that could reshape the relationship between state powers and personal liberties in America.

Identifying a Research Design Type:
You can choose any research design type (Design Declaration) in Chapters 15 through 18 in the Research Design in the Social Sciences BCH book. However, different research design types will have different potential rubric points – i.e. the maximum grade for some research design types will be higher than for others. The logic here is that some research designs are more difficult to implement than others, and should be evaluated as such, but even being able to implement the most basic research design successfully should result in passing completion of the assignment. The designs (by BCH Declaration Number) are placed into categories and potential rubric points are given in the table below:
Category
Designs
Maximum Points
A
All Chapter 18 declarations except 18.1 & 18.2; All Chapter 16 declarations except 16.1; 17.2; 15.5 (which requires 15.4)
100
B
All Chapter 17 declarations except 17.2; 15.4; 15.6 
90
C
15.1; 15.2; 15.3 
80
RUBRIC
Originality (Maximum 10 points of all categories) 
You can choose to either: 
Replicate the design declaration verbatim in code and narrative (0 points)
Modify the design (in narrative and/or code). The number of points you receive (up to 10) will be determined by how substantially you modify the design that is in the book. 
Using the tutorial/practicum modifications will receive partial credit. 
Research Design Narrative ~ 500-1000 words (approximate). (Maximum 45 points category A, 40 points category B, 35 points category C). 
Your research design narrative should describe, in words, all of the applicable elements of your research design including your model, inquiry, data strategy and answer strategy (Not all research design will have all elements – you will be evaluated on the quality of narrative for those elements present in your chosen research design). Your Model should describe, as applicable, your units, endogenous and exogenous variables, and (potential) outcomes. You are encouraged to include a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) which shows relationships between variables that your theoretically justify in a written narrative. The Inquiry should describe your research question and estimand, and note if the target of the inquiry is descriptive or causal. Your Data Strategy should describe any applicable sampling, treatment or measurement strategies. Your Answer Strategy should describe your estimation or case study approach and why that answer strategy is appropriate for your inquiry.
DeclareDesign in R, coding and diagnosis (Maximum 45 points category A, 40 points category B, 35 points category C).
The second stage of your research design is to translate your narrative design into code using DeclareDesign “declare” functions and diagnosis that design using diagnose_design. Materials submitted for this portion of the assignment should include a R script file of your design in code, a R history file which demonstrates your code runs successfully, and one or more graphical representations that illustrate one or more diagnosands from your design (estimates, estimands, power, rmse, se, etc.). These could be as simple as a histogram of your estimates from a number of simulated diagnoses, or it could be as complex as plotting multiple power curves or ACMEs over a range of different model parameters. You should also include a short (~100-200) word addendum section to your Research Design Narrative titled “model performance” that reflects on some aspect of your model diagnosands.  
Submission Checklist
Research design narrative, including discussion of model diagnosands
R Script File
R History File
1 or more graphical representation

Some of the essay was already done- I am attaching it to be expanded on, and to add 10 pages to the prior research/essay.
Please look over all my points, use my sources that I found to make points and use for the argument. If you use a quote in the text, please use the EXACT quote, and in the correct quote format with the correct citations. If you do not I will ask for a redo. Please ask me any questions you may have, and please let me know if you need anything. 
I will attach the initial essay below as well.
From my Professor, other sources to use:
If you look at the country reports, Freedom House has an evaluation of every country’s media freedom. In addition to Freedom House, there are also other organizations that measure media freedom, according to their own set criteria. A quick google search pulls up “Reporters without Borders” that has an assessment.  https://rsf.org/en/index
You’ll see that they have a specified methodology page that identifies how they come up with their measurements. It looks like each country has its own page and description. That might help you.

All of the details and instructions are in the files provided so please follow them carefully. Please make sure it is 8 pages, double spaced and all of the citations are cited properly please please please. Please use these two books for the sources and please make sure you cite everything.
