Three Branches Of Federal Government

The Framers of the Constitution, to ensure that no single person or entity had a monopoly on power, instituted a system of checks and balances. Thus, the United States has three branches of government: the executive, the legislative and the judicial. Each of these branches has a distinct and essential role in the function of the government and also exercises some control over the actions of the other branches.
Research the three branches of government using the textbook and Argosy University online library resources. Respond to one question from each of the question sets below.
A. Legislative (Pick one to respond to)

  • Should members of the U.S. Congress be “delegates” or “trustees” for their constituents? Which do you believe serves the best interests of the members of Congress and of the constituents?
  • Should members of Congress vote according to their own views or the views of the constituents who elected them?

B. Executive (Pick one to respond to)

  • Which president do you feel was the greatest and which president do you feel was the worst in U.S. history? Why?
  • What are the qualifications required to be president? Describe at least one other qualification you feel should also be required and explain why.
  • After serving the maximum two terms as president, should an ex-president be allowed to be reelected after an intermediate term of another president? Why or why not?

C. Judicial (Pick one to respond to)

  • How can the U.S. Supreme Court’s power be curbed? Is it important that curbing the Court’s power should not be easy? Why or why not?
  • The Constitution does not stipulate that judges must have a law degree or legal training. Yet all judges appointed are law school graduates. Why? Is it possible that a judge could come from another field? Why or why not?

Write your response to each question in 150–200 words.

self-control theory

Parental sources of self-control are cited as the most influential in establishing and reinforcing self-control in a child. This is so powerful that it is more influential than biological artifacts such as genetic predispositions that can lower one’s ability to display self-control and delay gratification. Self-control theory has become widely tested and built-upon by additional theorists, and like a few theories, it has become a source for policy and program development. Discuss self-control theory; it’s elements, and how it is being used today, and how it can be improved.  Your task is to consider programs and policies that can improve self-control. Also remember that a criticism of the self-control theory is that as adults, it is already too late to instill levels of self-control that will inhibit criminality. Explain if you agree with this premise that it is too late? Also what do you think should be done with the adults in the systems and if they are a lost cause.
Write a main posting about Everything that you say on your posting must be accurate and be backed up by credible resources, so researching your comments is vital.

criminal justice

Some criminal justice students have questioned the need to learn about criminological theory because it is not related to the real world, or at least the field of criminal justice. Many students and professionals believe that the fast pace of policing neighborhoods and the practice of investigation is a science of practicality, not of theory.In an essay of 3–4 pages, discuss at least 3 policies on the left-hand side below, and discuss which of the theories on the right-hand side might have influenced these policies. The policies and theories are not listed in any particular order, and any policy could be related to any of the theories on the list. You may also use other polices not listed, as long as you relate these policies to the ideas found in the Theories column. As you answer each question, you must provide support or evidence that will enhance and empirically prove your answers. Academic criminal justice articles or real-life criminal justice findings that are found in journals or other academic sources must be used in supporting your answers. Please use APA format for all cited sources, including your reference page.Additionally, be sure to follow these directions:Dedicate about 1 page to the analysis of each policy.Policies should only be described briefly, with most of the discussion concerning the theoretical underpinnings of the policy.You should discuss the main objectives of the policy and how these objectives are related to criminological theory. If possible, you should discuss the historical contexts of the policies and the theoretical ideas that led to their creation. PoliciesTheoriesMidnight basketball programsDifferential association theoryPolice athletic leaguesSocial control theoryWeed and seed programsNeutralization theoryDiversion programs (drug courts, etc.)Strain theoryExpunging of recordsLabeling theoryGraffiti reduction programsThe classical school of criminologyNeighborhood watch programsSocial disorganization theoryD.A.R.E.

Assessment Task 2 – Entrepreneurial Presentation (Group)

Assessment Task 2 – Entrepreneurial Presentation (Group) (30%)
Due Sunday 1 October – week 10 (on UTS Online by 23:59). Each group will present in the lecture venue in weeks 10 and 11.
Background
Consider that you are employees of a large and successful venture capital firm. The board of the firm is deciding upon its current round of investments and strategic direction. Each group in the firm is making a pitch to the board and their colleagues to try and secure funding for their identified opportunity. This could be a new or existing start-up, new piece of technology, an existing business looking to scale. For example, your board is open to considering future investments in renewable energy markets, mobile technology platforms, global professional outsourcing, social enterprises etc.
The board is meeting in Weeks 10-12 of this semester, and your group will need to make a pitch and submit a supporting strategic report to the board. Convincing the board to invest in your identified opportunity is essential as your job depends on it – the firm operates on a promotion system of “up or out”!
 
Task
In groups of 3-4 (pending class size), identify a promising new venture or investment that will appeal to the board. The board will most certainly need to understand the start-up’s wider competitive environment, business model, financial viability and amount of investment required (and corresponding equity on offer).
Your group needs to consider:
– Assessment of opportunity – technology, market and organizational capabilities
o Understanding of current baseline/problem/market.
o Description of the “technology” or idea under question (that solves a problem).
– Analysis of the business model or areas of industry investment
o How does this model create and capture value?
– Opportunity details such as:

  • Financial – What is the financial viability of this investment?
  • Marketing – Market size, target market, sales and distribution
  • Operations – management team, key personnel

 
 
Background Report (to be used as supplementary material to your pitch deck, rather than a comprehensive business plan) in hard copy in the tutorial in which you are presenting. The written
report should be no longer than 2000 words, excluding references.
 
You will be assessed as follows:
Pitch deck  12%
– quality of slides – clarity, comprehension, visual appeal
– clear identification of problem/gap/opportunity, value proposition
– rationale to support value proposition and investment
 
Pitch delivery  10%
– enthusiasm, engagement, presentation style
– preparation and organisation of group members
– management of Q&A (responses to questions and queries)
 
 
Strategic Analysis Report 5%
– Description of key issues – marketing, environment, management team
– Appropriate financial forecasting
– Clarity of writing, spelling, grammar
 
Q&A contribution 3%
– Contribution towards analyses of other group pitches (graded throughout
the 3 ‘pitching weeks’)
 
 Tips:
o Use the universal pitch deck – http://www.pollenizer.com/universal-startup-pitch-deck/
o Go to pitching competition’s (Friday afternoon’s at Fishburners or the UTS Hatchery):
http://fishburners.org or http://www.uts.edu.au/currentstudents/
opportunities/hatchery/overview – they use the universal pitch deck! Yes, it’s real!
o You can take the position of being members of a start-up and pitching to the board, or as
colleagues within the firm who have found a new start up to pitch.
o Clearly identify the problem you are solving or issue you are addressing.
o Pitching your ideas and projects is a skill necessary for entrepreneurs seeking angel
financing, but also for those within firms where you must ‘sell’ your projects and strategies
(i.e. making a business case) to senior management or shareholders.
o Develop a unique way of communicating what is most important in the industry or market,
particularly using your own new graphs, tables, or diagrams.
o The Background Report is a supporting document (that can show your depth of research and
analysis, and insights that cannot fit on to your slides). Please note this is NOT a business
plan.
