American Politics
You are free to choose a topic that most interests you as long
American Politics
You are free to choose a topic that most interests you as long as it is related to American Politics. I must approve of the topic. Email me your research question by 6/9th. Think of the political science topics that most interest you. Is there something you have always been curious about? Can you develop a research question out of that curiosity? For example, would you be interested in understanding more about the low levels of voting in the U.S.? Or are you more interested in comparative politics and want to compare the U.S. educational systems to another country?. Or are you interested in reducing gender violence and want to research why gender violence is so persistent? You are free to follow your interests but the topic must be related to American Politics. From there, develop a thesis, find evidence to support your thesis and write an outline that includes your introduction, thesis, evidence, and conclusion. What you are doing with this assignment is the actual research without writing up a paper. LET ME REITERATE THAT – YOU ARE NOT WRITING A PAPER. DO NOT HAND IN A PAPER. Rather, you are handing in AN OUTLINE THAT HAS ALL YOUR RESEARCH FINDINGS AND AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY. You will spend hours reading everything there is to read on this topic. You will present your research findings to me in the form of an outline and you will put your sources in a proper APA formated annotated bibliography (Reference list). The focus of this project is helping you learn how to do research.
The annotated bibliography is something researchers often use to summarize the sources they find when they are doing research. You will turn in to me a list of your sources (using APA format for the bibliography) and under each entry, you will provide a short summary of the source. Here are some great sources to help you do an annotated bibliography:
Sample annotated bibliography:
https://library.tiffin.edu/annotatedbibliography/e…
https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/common_…
Remember: Develop your own thesis and back up your argument with concrete examples, statistics, and quotes from your research.
Research Process:
Once you have chosen a research topic (which you should always be able to say in the form of a question), you will now begin the research process. I want you to become a mini-expert on this topic. Read all there is on the topic. You can read newspaper sources, online sources (if reputable), books, articles, etc. Use the library databases and Google Scholar. You should have used at least ONE peer-reviewed, scholarly source. As you are reading, collect and begin to form a bibliography of sources that are good ones for your purposes. Once you have done that, you should begin to start forming a thesis. In other words, after reading and looking at the evidence and arguments related to your question, you should form your own thesis based off of all of this evidence.
Once you have a thesis, you will begin to develop an outline. Typically, you will have an introduction of which your thesis is usually stated towards the end of that introduction. You will need to provide evidence (quotations, statistics, case studies, logical reasoning, or examples that you found while researching) in your outline to support your thesis. I want your evidence to be cited in the outline. Use in-text citations to do that in APA format. The reason you do that is you never want to separate any evidence you find from its source so you should get in the habit of always providing a citation – even for yourself as you do the outline.
What I will consider when grading:
Is it written free of spelling and grammatical errors? (5 points)
Does the outline have a thesis? Is the thesis focused narrowly enough? (10 points)
Do you provide evidence for your argument? Did you read a variety of sources in order to find good data, quotations, case studies, etc. to back up your thesis? (30 points)
Did you cite your evidence in the outline using APA format? (10 points)
Did you create an annotated bibliography of your sources and put it in APA format? Did you use at least 8 sources, one of which is from a peer-reviewed scholarly source? (20 points)

Main Points that I want to include in the Personal Essay:
– I am Ukrainian but also half Russian, growing up in Ukraine as a child I faced situations of discrimination and bulling in School because my Russian last name.
– My grandmother Yevdokiya (Eva) was a role model for me, I was always around her since childhood however I only understood not long time ago that this person was making impact on me by finding solutions and different ways to compromise in any (conflict) situation. I realised that I have a proven example in my life library. She went through WWII and survived the great famine in 1932-33 being a 7 years old child. She showcasted love to every person, she was wise and a great example of how we need to live life despite circumstances and events.
– As I grew up I felt an ongoing urge to learn more about different thoughts and cultures to try understanding why people fight and disagree, and how we can bring these different point of views closer.
– That’s why my first job was at an Embassy, I enjoyed learning and understanding more about the Hungarian culture, working in the Hungarian embassy was my first step in exploring different views and thoughts.
– For my next job I decided to trade an office job for an airport job to get exposed to more people with different thoughts and ideas.
– This becomes a pattern as my next jobs were in Dubai, then on Cruise ships, then working for a Miami based company, this expanded my horizons on living and dealing with multicultural environments.
– What really ignited my interest in this program is what happened in February 2022, it was my first direct experience with war, I woke up on the sounds of bombings and explosions and had to flee the country with only my backpack collecting the most valuable items and documents that I have. This experience was unique and made me question what ways and methods are there that could have prevented war from happening, what could have been done to avoid this conflict from escalating.
– I managed to move and live in a safe country, but then the October 7th events happened in Israel, and as someone who identifies as Jewish I felt that it is my duty to try to help in anyway, by clarifying our perspective on the situation and by trying to understand what are the main reasons behind all these conflicts and misunderstandings happening in the World. As someone who lived and worked with people from different cultures and backgrounds, I’m confident that there is always a way to find common grounds and to move forward without using violence.
– I believe that my previous education having a BA degree and a MA of art degree combined with my own personal experiences with conflicts and having to flee a war will help me to be an active student and contributor who can bring valuable fresh and original ideas to the class. This program will also help me grow on a personal level, by equipping me with a deeper understanding on why conflicts happen and how they can be handled peacefully. On a career level I have passion for this field and will be exploring job opportunities in addition to my interest in a second Masters year to complete a Thesis.

This is the first of three case studies analyses that provide an opportunity to develop your skills in assessing an organizational situation and providing support for a particular course of recommended action. These assignments will be in the form of a memo addressed to the executive director of the focal organization, not to exceed 2 single-spaced pages. The memo must identify the problem as you see it, recommend solutions, and provide support for your perspective. An analysis memo is a short document designed to communicate essential information about an issue to a busy decision-maker.
State major problems in the case and briefly explain the context in which key decisions must be made. Next, describe and assess proposed solutions to the problem, which you believe is the best course of action, and your reasons. Identify the next steps if your proposed solution is adopted and outline a “Plan B” in the event that your proposed solution fails. Show how the readings informed your understanding of the case and influenced your decision-making. Do not attempt to address every issue in the case, focus on your analysis of the problem and propose a potentially viable solution.
Please use the outline below: Open with a brief one-paragraph summary (labeled Executive Summary)
What is the context, key issue(s), and your recommendation?
Background
Why are we facing these issues? Identify root causes.
Recommendations
What are your specific recommendations? Rationale? Alternatives?
Next steps
How should your recommendations be implemented? What are the priorities?
The case is in the file.
