Politics Rules
Welcome to Week 2. Hopefully you survived the first week of classes! This week we’ll be looking at the Constitution and shared power! There was a reason what started out as a confederation of 13 states turned into a federation! In your view, are the rules of politics being broken? Is the US government broken? Should we as citizens be concerned?
Weigh in!
Humility in Leadership
Share a story from your career when a leader either A) displayed humility in leadership, or B) displayed arrogance in leadership. Include how it affected the organizational behavior and your leadership style.
I want to write about (B) displayed arrogance in leadership.
I worked for a leader about 10 years ago who lead by threats and bragged about the people he has taken down in his career. The fact that he was a department head and his first message to his Sailors was negative–echo through the deck plates in a very negative way. Even though he was an Officer and we had to listen to him, his respect wasn’t there and sailors and Chief under his leadership suffered.
Please use this above to expand on toxic leadership and how it effects an organization behavior.
Latinamerican politics
This assignment consists in 3 parts.
a) a well-refined one-sentence Research Question
b) an annotated bibliography of 15 academic journals (where you will have to write the the general thesis, supporting arguments, methodology , and ideology)
c) a detailed outline of what would be a major research paper. (Every support paragraph should include the thesis statement, statement of method, statement of significance)
1) The first step is to devise a very carefully constructed one sentence Research Question. You are to choose your own topic. If you do not already have a topic in mind, please focus on Argentina, Chile, Brazil, or a Central American country. You may also wish to cover a theme rather than a country. Do not pose a future-tense question.
Limit your question in terms of time-frame and subject, so that the question is narrow enough to address thoroughly in a 15 page research paper.
Examples of an acceptable question are the following: What were the FARCs chief political interests in its peace negotiation with the Colombian Government from 2012-2017? Or: What have been the major political impacts in Venezuela of black market currency manipulation since 2012? An example of an unacceptable question, one that is too broad, is the following: What are US interests in the Latin America?
2. ) 2) Once you have a research question, use any web library and obtain 15 ACADEMIC JOURNAL sources, the higher quality, the better. Strive for ideological balance in the sources, provide more than one perspective to your topic. Make sure your sources are sufficiently diverse to incorporate a debate into your paper. DO NOT USE BOOKS.
3) Provide an annotated bibliography. That is, provide a bibliography of the sources you are using (alphabetized in accepted bibliographical style), with a one-paragraph annotation for each source. Each citation will address four components: the thesis; supporting arguments; methodology (address quality of sources and coherence of the piece); and ideology, or bias.
The citation should be in complete sentences with careful writing. Do not write more than five sentences (one sentence each for the thesis, supporting arguments and ideology, and two sentences for the methodology commenting on sources and coherence ).
Example of one annotated bibliography:
North, Liisa. Understanding Central America (Toronto: Between the Lines, 1989).
Norths central argument is that US policy to Central America is misconceived and runs counter to the interests of Central Americas majority population. She notes that US military policy is backfiring by causing anti-Americanism, and that US policy is causing a deterioration of living standards in Nicaragua and El Salvador in particular. Regarding methodology, North uses many primary sources such as interviews, government documents, and UN reports. Her argument is logical and well-presented. North writes from a socialist perspective.
4) Provide a detailed outline of what would be your research paper. The outline is to include:
a) Your complete three sentence introduction: thesis; statement of method; statement of significance;
b) The topic sentence of each paragraph for what would be a 15 page paper;
c) After each topic sentence, list the relevant authors and page numbers in parentheses that you would include if you were developing that topic sentence into a paragraph.
Cherry-Halyburton POW
Why should stories such as Cherry-Halyburton POW be shared among Senior Enlisted Leaders? Which values mentioned in this story might help you to be a better leader?
Values Honor, courage and commitment should be mentioned in his story, but I would point out “courage”
Here is something about him below:
During a combat mission on October 22, 1965, Cherry’s F-105 Thunderchief fighter-bomber was shot down over North Vietnam. Cherry ejected and landed with a broken ankle and wrist, and a crushed shoulder. He was immediately captured by North Vietnamese militia.
Cherry was the first and highest ranking black officer among U.S. Prisoners of War during the Vietnam War. According to Cherry, his North Vietnamese captors wanted him to make public statements about racial intolerance in the United States, but he refused. As a result, Cherry spent 702 days in solitary confinement and was tortured or placed in punishment for 93 days in a row. Cherry’s jailers placed U.S. pilot Ensign Porter Halyburton, a Southern white man, in Cherry’s cell in the hopes that the two men would become antagonists. Instead, the two pilots helped each other to survive confinement and became very good friends. After seven years as a prisoner of war, Cherry was released from captivity on February 12, 1973.[4] Cherry told the story of his POW’s experience to Wallace Terry
