RESEARCH PAPER: COMPARATIVE APPROACH ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

OVERVIEW

Comparative politics is concerned with the important quest to understand why things are the way they are. For example, we seek to discover why ideas and cultural values have the impact they have, why some nations prosper, and others do not, why some countries enjoy liberty and others do not, and countless other “why” questions that help explain the dynamics of human governance. As with all inquiry, the conclusions drawn are only as good as the methodology employed to produce them. In this Research Paper: Comparative Approach Assignment, we will begin our exploration of comparative politics by examining the comparative approach that provides a starting place for any scholarly inquiry addressing these important questions.

INSTRUCTIONS

You are required to write a short research paper evaluating and analyzing the comparative approach introduced in your textbook readings. Your readings in this module addressed various ways of approaching comparing and analyzing aspects of political systems. For this Research Paper: Comparative Approach Assignment, assume that you are preparing to begin a project that attempts to explain the success of democracy in the United States. Specifically, your Research Paper: Comparative Approach Assignment should: 1) Describe in detail how the comparative approach described in the Dickovick and Eastwood textbooks might apply to this question; 2) Explain which prominent questions might be addressed, what kinds of facts and evidence might be useful and which kind(s) of comparison(s) would be beneficial; and 3) Explain what role prevailing worldviews might play in the presumptions of a comparative approach and what role a Judeo-Christian worldview might play in one’s approach to this project.

• The text of this Research Paper: Comparative Approach Assignment must be 5–7 pages (not including title page, reference page, and any appendices).
• This Research Paper: Comparative Approach Assignment must be in current APA format.
• You must include citations to a sufficient number of appropriate scholarly sources to fully support your assertions and conclusions. Each paper must contain citations to a minimum of 3 scholarly sources not including the course textbook, assigned readings, and the Bible.

Write a unified, coherent essay about whether the vale of music in our lives is changing. In your essay, be sure to: (3 paragraphs or more) • clearly state your own perspective on the issue and analyze the relationship between your perspective and at least one other perspective

Free music is now available through many legal sources, from streaming services to online radio stations, making it largely unnecessary to purchase an album or even a single song. As sales figures continue to drop, some musicians, both high-profile and relatively unknown, have even quit trying to sell their music altogether, choosing instead to release new material for free online. Perhaps this trend is a matter of simple economics: cheap is good, but free is better. But it is worth considering whether our apparent unwillingness to spend money on music is an indication that its value in our lives is changing.
Read and carefully consider these perspectives. Each suggests a particular way of thinking about the changing value of music in our lives.
Perspective One: Digital technologies and the Internet have changed our relationship with music. It is so plentiful and readily available now that all value has been diluted.
Perspective Two: Music competes for our attention with many other kinds of inexpensive entertainment these days. We still value it, but we also have a lot of other ways to spend our money.
Perspective Three: With so many free sources, people are listening to more music and discovering more new musicians than ever before. Wide availability has only increased our appreciation of music.

Third grader Joseph Smith’s parents want to increase the amount of time he spends in general education classes. Right now, he goes to art and music with his third grade peers, two days a week each. His parents also want him to receive all of his academic instruction in third grade general education classes. His current academic skills are below the first grade level. This has created a conflict with the school administration and prompted a call for an IEP meeting. Your educational team will have to plan how to resolve this issue before legal professionals become involved

explore the social and economic impact of an organization with which you are familiar or that you have researched

Organizations can directly and indirectly affect communities in both positive and negative ways. Their impacts can be simple, such as donating to a local school or sponsoring a neighborhood event, or they can be so profound that the organization shapes or reshapes the landscape of a community—or even the world—for generations. Perhaps an organization pollutes the local waterways or closes a factory that employed half the town, or an organization decides to build a theme park in an underdeveloped area that, in 50 years’ time, could become a top tourist destination. In this Discussion, you will explore the social and economic impact of an organization with which you are familiar or that you have researched.

To prepare for this Discussion:
• Consider an organization with which you are familiar that had a social and economic impact on a community. The community can be one you are familiar with, or you can locate an example of another community through your research. Additionally, the organization’s impact on the community could have been positive or negative.

Post your analysis of the social and/or economic impacts of a business organization, to include the following: (200 – 300 words)
• Briefly describe the organization and the community in which it operates.
• Analyze the organization’s social and economic impacts on the community (positive or negative). Provide specific examples to support your analysis.
• Analyze how the benefits or consequences of this social and economic impact on the community shapes your perception and others’ perceptions of the organization.

Example:
Fact: The amygdala is the brain’s emotional control center.
The amygdala regulates the brain’s response to emotions such as fear, excitement, and pleasure. As part of the brain’s limbic system, it is located next to the hippocampus – the part of the brain that plays a significant role in converting information from working memory to long-term memory. Exposure to long-term stress has been found to cause damage to the amygdala which may account for why some students, particularly those from poverty, struggle to regulate their emotions and behavior (Lau, et al., 2016).
