The Best Contraceptives?

/in /by

 

It has been said that in nations seeking to reduce their population growth rate, a combination of sustainable economic development along with improved educational and socio-economic opportunities for women are the best “contraceptives” (i.e. ways to reduce a woman’s total fertility rate; don’t know this term? Look it up before posting).

A. How does improving educational opportunities for women help reduce population growth (in those nations seeking to do so)?  Cite specific scientific, demographic, socioeconomic and/or geopolitical evidence from one (1) nation that is working to reduce its population growth rate and where improving education for women has worked / is working.

Be sure to back up your explanations with some research before discussing this topic online with your classmates. Be sure to read relevant sections of your text (and supplementary readings from this Module) and look online.  Start with these background readings:

A1. Identify a nation that has been / is working to reduce its population growth. For how long?

A2. What has this nation done to improve the educational opportunities for its women? 

A3. How have increased educational opportunities for these women changed their socio-economic status? 

Week 7 Journal

/in /by

This week we began a two-week exploration of the U.S. Constitution. We know from the Preamble to the Constitution and Fed No 51, that justice is the end, or goal, of government. We also know that for all our trials and tribulations, more people today have greater access to their rights than ever before.

For your assignment this week, reflect upon your personal life, including work, home, school, or recreation. Discuss the Constitutional right that you see, or experience, being used most often in your life. Discuss how or why this right is so readily applied while other rights may be less often experienced.

Operational Assignment Details:
This assignment is due on Sunday at 10 p.m. CST. Your substantive comments are due the following Tuesday at 10 p.m. CST. Each journal entry should be a minimum of 300 words.

Week 7 Primary Assignment

/in /by

***THERE IS A CHART ATTACHED***

Note on Primary Assignments:
Each week you will submit a Primary Assignment. In many weeks, you can choose between two options for this assignment. Before you opt for which assignment option to answer, you will want to consider which option affords you the best opportunity to demonstrate learning based upon the assigned course materials. All Primary Assignments include a thesis statement, a bibliography (APA style), and the use and citation of three assigned reading articles from the current week and one assigned reading article from a previous week.

The Balance of Power in American Government
Learning Objective: Through intensive critical thinking and analysis of Articles I, I, and III of the U.S. Constitution, students learn how the balance of powers works in a republican form of government.

For this assignment, research any one of the topics listed below. Notice the conflicting interests of the parties involved in the issue. Do the mechanisms designed to balance the power of government between institutions and individuals continue to work? Has one center of power grown too powerful? Are individual rights being protected during these disputes? Include a discussion of the balancing mechanisms found in the U.S. Constitution and discussed in Federalist Papers 10, 47, and 51.
