The assignment is a research proposal.
This is a research methods in politics class.
I must formulate my own research question. IT MUST BE A POLITICAL QUESTION. It should be creative and original, not repetitive and commonly spoken about it. Please look at the sample research proposals to get an idea of what the research topic should be about. PLEASE DO NOT repeat any of the topics used in the samples, it must be creative. 
I must design an academic research project that could address this question

It is a 2,500 word essay. The word count includes in text references and footnotes but not the bibliography.
50% of overall grade

I have attached a detailed description of the assignment. Please adhere to it carefully.

I have attached lecture slides and notes. PLEASE DO NOT RELY ON THE LECTURE SLIDES AND NOTES as they are NOT MY WORDS, they are not paraphrased, and they are just an overview of research design and methods. The lecture slides will help in the formulation of the research question, the theoretical framework and hypothesis, as well as every step in the research design.

I have attached readings that correspond to each lecture. The readings will help you justify the decisions made in the research design. When you characterise the research method(s) that your project would use, you should set out what this method is about, using the (module) literature on the topic. When you choose a topic and form the research question, you should then look at literature about the chosen topic (not attached) and make references to the work of other people who have addressed similar questions (and whose work you may build on).

I have attached four sample research proposals from previous students. This is the standard that my essay must meet. The assignment is worth 50% of my grade so please make sure it meets the standard of the sample essays. (PLEASE DO NOT USE ANY IDEAS FROM THE SAMPLE ESSAYS, I have just attached them so you can get an idea of what my essay should look like).

An important purpose of this assignment is to examine what the different branches and layers of government do to address a policy using a current issue to illustrate it.

Complete a research essay on the government and healthcare. Remember this is being written for the president to read. 

The U.S. healthcare system has been a controversial topic for decades. Here are the aspects and questions to address for this essay:

  1. Identify a current issue being debated about the American healthcare system and state a preferred solution to it and why it’s preferred (This is your thesis statement).
  2. Explain two competing solutions to this problem while addressing the responsibilities of each level of government (federal, state, and local) and the three branches of the federal government (executive, legislative, and judicial).
  3. Build the argument for why your chosen solution is preferable, what critics say about the solution, and finally why the critics are wrong. 

REQUIREMENTS:

  • 750 word target length (about three pages), not including references listed at the end or footnotes if used.
  • Incorporation of concepts and terms from the required readings.
  • Inclusion of facts from a recent news article about the topic/solution.
  • Correct spelling, grammar, and formatting, whether it’s APA, MLA, or Chicago/Turabian.
  • See the essay rubric for further details on grading.

Writing tips:

1) Write concisely! More is not necessarily better if the required points from the rubric are missed. 

2) Essays should be written in the third person perspective. (Avoid using “I, me, my, mine, we, us, our, you, your”).

 

Refer to the film or website you identified in Module 2 about the topic you have chosen for your Portfolio Project. Paper should be 2 pages. Respond to the following:

  1. Summarize the website and describe the important information presented.
  2. Does this website depict your topic accurately?
  3. How does the information you find in the website compare to the information you have read in your textbook and discovered through your portfolio research?

 

Slowing Down Global Warming

As Hite and Seitz (2016) discuss in Chapter 5: Climate Change, reputable scientific studies continue to show that the Earth is warming at an unsustainable rate because of a rise in the release of CO2 and methane gases.

What is the relationship between population increases and climate change? Do you think fertility control is an effective strategy to halt climate change? Why or why not?

please create a three to five minute PowerPoint or Collaborate Audio Video Presentation wherein you will brief the class on the final research proposal topic that you have undertaken. Tell us about your problem statement, your research question, your hypothesis, literature review, research methodological design, and research budget.

my description on my political cartoon:I chose this political cartoon because it reflects the trends of today’s democracy.We all know that democracy is defined as a form of government in which the people are the first and the highest authority. However, not everyone’s voice and opinion can be heard and considered. In addition, digital media become the main concern in people’s daily life. We can get informations and latest issues easily by turning on televisions and social medias. Also, media has become the main source of information transmission and value creation.  Through media,  we can be well informed about our community, countries and the world.But some media reports are not comprehensive, and they like to select news reports based on trends to achieve the highest attention rate. For example, negative news is always easier to catch people’s attention. Therefore, the media will filter the information to expose only a part of the information. Just like this political cartoon, there is obviously a large group of people representing positive information, but those journalists and the media only focus on negative information. So only negative information will be presented. This creates the wrong value and is misleading. Not only that,  in the first paragraph of Foa and Stryuk reading has also reflected such wrong situation.

“For four decades, Die Welt, one of West Germanys leading newspapers, refused to acknowledge the existence of an East German state. Since the papers editors expected the communist regime to collapse within a matter of years, they put scare quotes around its initials when- ever they discussed the German Democratic Republic (GDR). While other papers reported about the policies pursued by the GDR, Die Welt unfailingly wrote about the GDR.” (Foa and Stryuk, page 5).  This passage proves that the newspaper as a source of information transmission refused to acknowledge some informations. However, this behavior is wrong, and the information should be presented to the public fairly.
