Forum #1 Group A Question:

Stuckey argues that “When we elect presidents, we choose more than administrative officials. We also choose between competing visions of the American polity: its composition, parameters, and mission in the world (639).

Identify one fundamental opposition between Democrats and Republicans that was especially important in the 2004 election (that is, an important idea, value, or policy stance that fundamentally distinguished Democrats’ and Republicans’ visions of the American “nation”). Explain how this opposition was constructed rhetorically, and the nature of the choice that it presented to voters.

Then, identify how your chosen opposition was illustrated through specific differences between Donald Trump’s and Hillary Clinton’s addresses to their respective national conventions in 2016. How does your chosen difference relate to the competing visions of “nation” that Trump and Clinton constructed in their speeches? You may use any material from the Stuckey reading, and/or any material from extra news coverage of the conventions, in your response.

Discussion Forum Grading Rubric

  • Wrote a substantive response according to the instructions in your chosen question. Your response incorporated specific conceptual/theoretical vocabulary and content from the assigned readings and from lecture (40%). Theories are useful to us when they tell us how to look at things, and this becomes possible only if we can demonstrate a detailed and specific grasp of theoretical vocabularies. Theoretical vocabularies are contained in the definitions of major course concepts. If understood in a detailed and specific way, theoretical vocabularies direct our attention toward specific aspects of reality and allow us to develop applied critical thinking skills. Often students will think they understand a concept because they recognize an example of it, but this is mistaken. Theoretical vocabularies provide a general way of looking at the world that allows us to critically analyze and evaluate cultural patterns, problems, ways of thinking, tendencies, and so on. In short, a concept or theory serves as a general way of seeing social realities; an example is a specific thing we are able to see through a conceptual or theoretical lens. For these reasons, discussion participation must reflect a grasp of specific theoretical vocabulary from the readings.
  • Specific conceptual/theoretical vocabulary and content from assigned readings and from lectures applied with analytical rigor (40%). I want to see you taking ownership of course material and applying it to critical analyses. This means that simply describing material from readings and lectures, or stringing together quotes or paraphrases from the readings and lectures, will not receive a high grade. Your forum responses should focus on larger problems raised in the readings and the critical insights offered by particular approaches to these problems. Also, each question will require that you apply the concepts from required academic journal articles/book chapters to the popular news stories assigned for that same week. As you apply the concepts from academic readings, my expectation is that you will provide detailed, substantive connections between the concepts and the popular news articles. The purpose of these connections will be to demonstrate that you are able to apply major course concepts analytically to the events and trends of our current political moment.
  • Ideas/concepts were expressed in a clear and coherent manner (20%). Contributions will be held to high standards for clarity and coherence, including grammar. While no style formats will be imposed, forum contributions should meet formal academic standards similar to essays, where specific ideas, vocabulary, cases, examples and so on from the readings are referenced. Clear, carefully proofread writing is expected in all posts.

    • editorial-on-college-mascots

    by

    The purpose of this assignment is to practice media writing with the intention of initiating change in the way a topic is usually discussed. The topic for this assignment is Native American/First Nations mascots. The topic is typically dismissed as some argue that the mascot is an honour, and that Native Americans are trying to garner political sympathy. Your task is to change the way we talk about mascots.

    Remember:

    • Do not write your name or class-related information on the top of the page. This is an online submission. None of that information is needed.
    • The submission will be written in Times New Roman, 12 pt. font, double spaced.
    • You will cite ‘Gendered Construction of the American Indian’. Cite the author and the article, but not like an academic article.
      • Keep in mind that ‘American Indian’ is now an outdated term.
    • You will also cite a credible source to support your arguments.
      • You will have to make the case for the source’s credibility.
    • Your arguments may be focused on the mascot, the mascot’s name, the school’s logo, or the mascot’s performance.

    Pick one, and only one of the following topics

    1. What is the relationship between the world’s religions? Are they all equally true? Are they all false? Do they all have some truths in them, but not others? Is one religion more true to you than the others are? If so, why.
    2. Pick one Religious Figure: Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad, or Confucius. What does the life of this person teach us about what it means to be religious? Have the religious traditions around this person been faithful to his message?
    3. Western Religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) think of God as a Person. This means that they think God as an intellect, a will, and maybe even feelings. Eastern Religions (such as Taoism or the more philosophical branches of Hinduism) think of the divine as something far less person-like. For them the divine is basically the all-inclusive ground of all being, reality at it’s ultimate level, of which all things are but finite manifestations. Do you prefer one of these conceptions of the divine to the others? If so, Why?
    4. Most of the world’s religions have, at one time or another, assigned women to a subordinate place. Women have not played a major role in leadership and have not been central to these religious traditions. Recently many of the world religions have attempted to change this. What needs to be done to make religion fully inclusive of and empowering for women? Can religion be changed to fully include women? Why or why not?
    5. Take a personal field trip to a place of worship. Make sure that that the place you visit is not your particular religion. Describe the experience? What did the place of worship look like? What rituals did they use? How did you feel? In what ways was this new or different from your own religious tradition?

    Grading Guidelines:

    • Write in first person ( use “I” and “me”)
    • You can lose points for spelling, grammar, and mechanics. Not many, but some. Make sure to proof read and spell check your paper.
    • The Paper must be typed and double spaced. Please no extra spaces between paragraph.
    • Keep to times new roman 12pt font and 1 inch margins for your paper. I will doc some points if this is not adhered to.
    • Your paper MUST be 3 FULL pages, 4-6 pages is acceptable, don’t go beyond page 7.
    • Be sure that your name is on the paper, and that all pages are numbered.
    • Finally, be sure that your paper is structured in the essay format: this means you MUST have a clear intro, body, and conclusion.

    Task:

    An antiship missile uses a phased array radar seeker with f= 9.5 GHz. The Radar Cross Section (RCS) of a frigate at the same frequency is 8500 m2. As a Radar and EW engineer, you have to provide technical consultation for the protection of the frigate against the missile and determine the basic parameters of a floating decoy and chaff system in order to effectively protect the frigate.

    Introduction

    Define Electronic Warfare, write its categories and subcategories and explain its importance in a modern battlefield.

    RF Antiship missile Engagement Scenario.

    Describe a common RF Antiship missile Engagement Scenario and write all the possible systems, sensors and weapons might be used by a modern frigate to defeat the threat.

    Use of chaffs and floating decoys.

    Explain how the chaffs and floating decoys can be used against a RF antiship missile. Which of the two systems is overall more effective? You have to justify your answer by considering parameters such as response time, frequency response, weather effect etc.

    Determine the parameters of the countermeasures.

    Determine the minimum required RCS of the floating decoy and chaff in order to be effective against the mentioned threat. Calculate the dipole length of the chaffs and number of dipoles required.

    Conclusion.

    A logical conclusion is to be presented based on your entire study and critical analysis.
