Unit IV Case Study Open

Instructions
Expanding Voter Turnout Plan

Over the past 150 years, the United States has moved from newspapers and yellow journalism to social media and fake news. Within this time continuum, we find the media attempting to focus voters’ attention on specific issues, sway public opinion, and influence politics. From a present-day perspective, imagine that you are the owner of a large multimedia group and want to increase voter turnout in an upcoming presidential election; therefore, you develop an Expanding Voter Turnout Plan to accomplish this goal using the various media sources at your disposal. Your case study must include the criteria below.

  • Include a title page, which should contain the following elements:
    • your name,
    • title of the paper,
    • course name and number,
    • your instructor’s name, and
    • the submission date.
  • Provide an introduction.
    • Include a brief overview of the Expanding Voter Turnout Plan and why it is important.
    • Your plan must identify a specific turnout percentage that you will set as your goal.
  • Provide background information.
    • You must set the stage for your essay by providing a brief overview of both the nomination and general election stages that are present in all elections.
    • Determining the public’s opinion about elections and voting is critical to successfully targeting your media plan to increase turnout; therefore, you must describe what type of poll you will use to gather the public’s opinion about voting (e.g., how will you determine why individuals do not vote).
  • Include the following information to develop your Expanding Voter Turnout Plan.
    • The goal for your plan is to increase voter turnout by using modern media outlets, including traditional print media (e.g., newspapers, news journals, and magazines) and broadcast media (e.g., television and radio) as well as Internet-based media (e.g., podcasts, social media, email).
    • In your plan, you must clearly identify specific efforts to increase voter turnout.
    • Your plan must also specify which media types you will use and how you will use them to increase voter turnout. The media should be used in ways that not only publicize voter turnout efforts but also expand turnout, such as using smartphone apps for voting.
    • In addition to targeting voters directly to increase turnout, you must work through the two major political parties. Your plan must include how you will do this.
    • While some political campaigns for elected positions, such as the president, may be national in scope, voting is always local. Citizens vote locally at a neighborhood school, church, or civic center. The overall plan may incorporate broad national-level programs, but some features of the plan must have local components.
  • Provide a conclusion.
    • Identify possible hindrances to the media working as a vehicle to expand voter turnout (e.g., fake news).
    • Include a brief overview of the Voter Turnout Expansion Plan.
  • Include a references page.
    • On the references page, list all sources used, including the textbook, using APA Style.

Your completed plan must be 2–4 pages in length, not counting the title page and references page. Make certain to double-space, apply 1-inch margins, and use 12-point font. Utilize headings to separate major sections of your plan. Cite all sources on the references page using APA Style.

government
Choose Two prompts to write about. Check the rubric for what is graded to insure that your post is sufficient to get all possible points.
You must have two prompts
Each prompt MUST have 150 word minimum
APA writing includes in-text citations and references – required only on original posts
You can review this video to help understand what the APA format looks like:
https://videos.mysimpleshow.com/QuV3t4nxMa
You MUST use the textbook and an outside source in your original posts
Do not copy the prompt, write so that you are answering the question in an essay format. Use the prompt to help you write to the topic.
Prompt 1:
Does any president deserve credit for an economic boom or recession? Who is more instrumental in influencing the economy—the president or the chairman of the Federal Reserve Board?
Prompt 2:
Many people have argued that we should privatize much of government—that is, turn over to the private sector such traditional governmental activities as running prisons, Social Security, public broadcasting, and even public schools. Is this a good idea? What programs, if any, should be privatized? What are the relative disadvantages in privatization?
Prompt 3:
If you had to choose between having a strong economy and a weak military or having a weak economy and a strong military, which would they choose and why?
Prompt 4:
The themes of democracy, equality, and liberty are emphasized in the textbook. Do you have a better understanding of those terms today than when they started this course? Do they think the United States has a moral responsibility to spread democracy throughout the world? If so, how should it be done? How could Americans export their strengths (such as freedom) without exporting some of our weaknesses (such as low voter turnout)?

 There have been a lot of challenges that this nation has faced in the many months with the advent and sustainment of the COVID-19 Virus. To face that challenge, many emerging leaders have come to the forefront of our television viewing and media attention.  Based upon what you have witnessed, provide me three ups and downs on how they have done. Because hindsight is always 20/20 and Monday Morning Quarterbacking wins every game, how would you have wanted our current COVID-19 National Response Leadership to apply the principles you learned in this class to mitigate the effects experienced during this crisis?  Please provide me three things that you would have sustained – that they did well (Ups), and three things they could have improved upon (Downs)…Be specific and have fun reflecting on this question..

Introduction
The final course deliverable is an extensive real-world project: an individual leadership portfolio. This portfolio will yield a product for you to share with prospective or current employers in order to enhance your employment possibilities and promotion potential. The portfolio is the second of two deliverables comprising the assessment; a Personal Leadership History Report (discussed in the section below) is due first and leads to the Personal Leadership Portfolio.
The course project promotes your development and personal commitment to the required knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) required for understanding, assimilating, and demonstrating professional public safety leadership. In preparing your portfolio, you will have the opportunity to review leadership from a historical and an operational perspective and will be able to evaluate your own leadership style and effectiveness.
Completion of the course-long personal leadership project solidifies foundation KSAs in order to:

  • evaluate decision making in relation to historic and current issues in public safety through case studies and simulation
  • explain the relationship between successful leadership, organizational development, and technology and the way these factors affect decision making
  • discuss the importance of ethics, globalization, systems thinking, proactive leadership, and leader-follower relationships to successful leadership in public safety
  • identify and discuss the major leadership theories and concepts applicable to public safety
  • explain the importance of leadership in organizational processes and change
  • cite examples of successful leadership styles and techniques in progressive public administration
  • complete case study reviews and an operational simulation based on major public safety issues
  • identify future public safety challenges and potential solutions
  • synthesize your learning experience in your major discipline to apply the knowledge and skills to practical individual and organizational challenges

The Leadership Development Project Process
The project is a course-length process managed using specified development steps that correlate with specific course materials. Aspects of this process will be addressed in the course conferences each week. The first of the two project deliverables is the personal leadership history report.
Personal Leadership Portfolio
The final course deliverable, the Personal Leadership Portfolio, is created by incorporating targeted leadership knowledge development, self-assessment assignments, and homeland security or public safety leadership analysis. The portfolio represents a personal understanding and plan of public safety leadership based on the course research, module content, discussions, reports, simulation, and your leadership performance.
The process requires weekly demonstration of leadership knowledge development through conference discussion opportunities and leadership self-assessment assignments. The submissions are assessed for accuracy and completeness against project requirements and ensure that the development of leadership knowledge, assessment, and analysis provides a maximum foundation for the sequential portfolio development. The completed personal leadership portfolio correlates with professional homeland security and public safety leadership best practices, resulting in a tangible product that can become a base for future leadership development.
> Assessment Sequence
The project is made up of sequential steps that constitute the required actions of semester-long portfolio development. The process assessment utilizes a recommended portfolio document structure.
1.   Gather—the gathering of course and outside leadership materials and resources.
2.   Research—narrowing the focus of academic and anecdotal leadership topics to professional homeland security or public safety leadership topics.
3.   Organize—establish an information-handling process in order to coordinate resources, sources, and gathered data. Monitor for policy topic research completeness through use of an information-handling and organization process.
4.   Analyze and evaluate—compare, contrast, and judge resource material to develop cogent documentation.
5.   Assess—assimilate personal leadership history report results with cogent documentation, demonstrating the nexus between personal leadership history and data with academic and anecdotal resources. This step may also include assessing past leadership opportunities for lessons learned.
6.   Apply—based on steps 1-5, determine personal leadership styles and traits and how the determination can be applied in a professional homeland security or public safety setting. This step will also include personal leadership strengths and challenges for future development.
7.   Create a personal leadership development plan for your future in public safety.
> Personal Leadership Portfolio Document Structure and Content Topics
The body of the Personal Leadership Portfolio shall be at least 12 pages, excluding other material such as the cover page, table of contents, abstract, graphics and tables, and references.  The paper shall be presented in APA (6th edition) format, all margins should be 1”, 12 point font, and be in either Arial or New Times Roman font style. In the following descending order of preference, information sources must be either peer-reviewed articles, government reports, or other sources approved by your instructor. Internet information sources from other than authoritative sources are discouraged. See the Personal Leadership Portfolio grading rubric for more information. The personal leadership portfolio shall cover all of the following topics:

  • presentation and discussion of academic and anecdotal resource materials
  • deconstruction of current homeland security or public safety leadership
  • identification of acceptable and effective professional homeland security or public safety leadership principles
  • collation of data from personal leadership self-assessment assignments
  • comparison and contrast of self-assessment data, to include applicability, with best practices and identified leadership principles
  • presentation and discussion of future personal leadership development and opportunity

The completed personal leadership portfolio correlates with professional homeland security and public safety leadership best practices, resulting in a tangible product that can become a base for future leadership development.
